Book of Blood Page #2

---

What...? Come on.

Come on, it's a nice song.

How did it feel?

- What?

- The first time it happened to you?

The first time.

When you were a girl

and the fountain sprayed blood.

And they found that little girl.

And it made you feel kind

of special... didnt it?

Simon there is a house near here.

Tollington Place.

Something terrible happened there,

something unexplained.

- A young girl was murdered.

- Right.

- You're writing another book.

- I'd like you to work with me.

You know I don't know about that.

A lot of people have said my family

exploited my brother's death.

I mean... My parents even

made money off it!

Something awful happened to that poor girl.

Dont you think her story

deserves to be told.

You have a gift, Simon.

Dont waste it.

Help me find out what

happened in that house.

Feel this a good idea?

Can't hurt.

But you dont know this kid. You do not

know what he wants out of all this.

I mean for all you know

he could just be...

Jesus! No one said nothing

about three flights of stairs.

This place is giving me

the hee bee gee bees.

My dick

- There's something on my back.

- Right... right.

Let's just dump this sh*t

and go for a pint!

I'm not kidding ya prick.

There's something on my back.

F*** sake!

He just started freaking out.

He's winding you up!

Oh man! Why did you have to

go and do that?

- I had you man. I had you good.

- F*** you!

Hi ya.

So?

This is where it all happened, isnt it?

Yeah.

Will you be okay up here

can I get you anything?

No! Not a soul.

I'll be fine... Thanks.

My room is right below yours,

so I'll hear you if you call.

Okay.

Good night.

- I sleep naked.

- Right!

Sssh... listen.

- I dont hear anything.

- Thats right.

I havent seen one fly,

one spider or an ant even.

Anywhere.

Do you?

It's like the place is being...

shunned...

I can't sleep either..

I think I might have a fever.

When I was a kid if I couldnt sleep...

My mother would make me warm milk.

Helps me sometimes...

when I masturbate.

Professor?

You all right?

You ah...

- You were crying.

- I... I'm fine Simon... I'm fine..

I was just having a dream.

Thats all..

You can close the door, Simon.

Come on, Reg.

Just say whats on your mind.

I just think you're being

unprofessional, that's all!

What's that supposed to mean?

I'm trained to do what I do...

You've got a PhD.

What's he bringing to the party?

If there is even a slightest chance he

can help us to open this house up...

- I'm going to encourage it...!

- Yeah!

Just be careful the house isnt

the only thing he opens up.

Look Reg... If you dont like the

way I'm approaching my research,

I'll get some one else to carry my wires.

Mary?

Jesus! Christ.!

Sorry...

I heard you call.

- Did you hear it?

- What?

The voices, the whispering.

The pounding on the floor.

Listen.

I've recorded it.

There's nothing there.

The f***?

- Help!

- What's this Simon?

What's in there Reg?

Simon! Simon!

I can't get it open... Jesus, Reg!

Mary.

What the...?

Simon

- My God, Simon. What happened to you?

- I don't know.

- I don't know what happened.

- Ssh, dont try to talk now.

- I don't know what happened.

- Sssh, ssh.

[I'M DEATH]

[I serve Hell, and in

its turn, Hell serves me]

Better have a look at this

Well. That's something

you dont see every day.

- How did all that happen, Reg?

- I dont know.

But then again, I dont know how David

Copperfield makes elephants disappear.

Your saying it was just a trick.

Was the whispering you heard a trick?

Was this?

Get some rest.

What are you doing?

Whatever this is... should be

examined forensically.

You want to be sure. Right?

Where is he?

I don't know.

He was gone before I woke up.

I'm just curious to know how this

stuff got on those walls, Nigel.

You are the best forensics man I know.

Hey you want to flatter me?

Have dinner with me!

Your wife going to cook?

Right.

I'll get on to this today.

I'll let you know what I find.

Simon.

Let's see if Simon has any

tricks hidden in his bag.

Aspirin.

You're disappointed, Reg.

Hey, nothing to hide, right?

- Why dont we do a cavity search.

- You're joking.

Be my guest!

Go on...

All yours, wiseguy...

- What the hell was that?

- I don't know. I was in the bathroom...

When I came back my

equipment was freaking out...

My equipment is all messed up.

Something's interfering with it...

Wait.

That can't just be him...

Simon!

Simon are you all right?

Simon?

Simon...

Help me get him up!

Easy... Easy now

You'd better lie down.

Lie down over here...

It was real.

It was not like before.

They came... and they were here!

You've got to be f***ing joking.

Reg!

We need to get the first aid kit.

Look Mary.

I hink we should get out of here...

- You've got to be kidding.

- We have got enough here.

Reg... We've never seen

anything like this before.

Thats what I mean.

This is...

I don't know what this is.

I think it's him...

He is the one making this happen.

He's our lightning rod.

Okay but I think we should leave

before we get f***ing electrocuted.

I need a drink.

Mary...

- I have to tell you something.

- Ssssh.

- You need to rest.

- No.

I need to tell you, what's

really being going on here.

It's not what you think.

I understand, Simon.

- Do you want to stop?

- I can't.

Tonight was different.

What happened here, tonight...

It was a miracle.

You are the miracle.

You're the one that made it all happen.

You're the one I've been waiting for.

And Ill tell the world,

and everyone will believe.

I dont understand.

That isnt what happened.

There was something there.

Something was holding me, pushing me.

There was something there.

What are you looking at?

What is so important?

The fountain.

Reminds you of when you

were a girl, doesnt it?

I was ten.

There was a park across

the street from our house.

It had a fountain where we

used to play..

But it was old.

The water never worked.

Until one night, the sound...

woke me up.

It was spraying every where.

The air was drenched...

But not with water.

With blood.

I didnt know what was happening,

but it happened almost every night.

- And you didnt say anything..

- I was too afraid..

In the morning the fountain was always

completely.. dry like it never happened.

I was afraid that all

would think I was crazy.

A few weeks later, the city came

and tore out the fountain to

make way for a parking lot.

When they ripped up the ground

they found...

A ten year old girl

buried underneath.

She'd been...

tortured.

Her DNA linked her to a man

five doors down.

But by the time they found him, he'd

done the same thing to six more girls

If I'd only said something...

It wasnt your fault.

I need to get out of here for a while, Reg.

[You didnt listen]

Simon, what's wrong?

It only lasted until I was 13.

Then it just stopped.

When I started to believe them.

Maybe it never happened at all.

Maybe I never had... this gift.

But when I found you.
