Curse of the Witch's Doll Page #2

---

Are you sure we're

alone down here.

Certain.

What makes you think otherwise?

I don't know.

I know what

you've been through,

what you've both been through.

Any mind would wander,

but you're in no danger here.

[Chloe] Let's play a game.

No, no games.

Slow down, please.

Hide and seek, hide and seek.

No.

Come on.

Chloe.

Come back.

Come back now.

[Chloe] I can't

hear you counting.

(sighing)

[Adeline] Eight,

nine,

Ready or not, I'm

coming to get you.

Okay,

you can come out now.

(ominous orchestral music)

(grunting)

You gave up.

[Adeline] Well,

I've got you now.

(laughing)

Let's play again.

[Adeline] Well, don't

go so far this time.

[Chloe] Too late.

When did you get so fast?

[Chloe] When did

you get so old?

Your mine this time.

[Chloe] Come on, then.

One,

two,

three,

four,

five,

six,

seven,

eight,

nine,

Ready or not, here I come.

I know I'm close.

You're good, but

I'm not giving up.

(eerie atmospheric music)

(Chloe screaming)

Chloe?

(heart beating)

(eerie atmospheric screeching)

(woman laughing)

(door knocking)

Mrs. Gray?

I'm Detective Sergeant Nolan.

I understand there's

concerns about your daughter.

[Adeline] Yes.

Do you mind if I look around?

(dramatic orchestral music)

I've searched the

manor seven times over.

She went missing in the woods.

Yeah, I have five officers

searching the grounds

as we speak.

How long has she been missing?

Over five hours.

[Detective Nolan] She ever

run away from home before?

No,

she would never run away.

Well, new house,

tensions at home.

There were no tensions.

Chloe was happy?

Could she be searching

for her father?

No.

Did you actually

see her taken?

No, but I heard her scream.

Well, we only have 30 minutes

of daylight left, Mrs. Gray,

so we will continue

our search at dawn.

You can't stop now, please.

She's out there somewhere.

And you need to

rest, Mrs. Gray.

Rest?

My daughter has

been taken from me

and you tell me to rest.

Goodnight.

Chloe.

(crow cawing)

Chloe!

(ominous orchestral music)

[Ghostly Whispering

Voice] She has her.

She has her.

She has your daughter.

Who has her?

Tell me!

[Ghostly Whispering Voice]

The witch has her now.

(eerie atmospheric music rising)

[Detective Nolan] We've

searched the grounds, the woods.

Have you found Chloe?

Have you found her?

We have someone

in for question,

which means we're

getting closer.

You don't have any idea

where she is, do you?

Time, Mrs. Gray.

We need time to find her.

Promise me.

Promise you what?

Promise me you won't

rest until you find her,

dead or alive.

We're doing all we can.

That's not enough.

Can I have a word, sergeant?

[Adeline] What

did you say to him?

Not to waste any more time.

I've knocked on every

door in the village,

no sightings.

No one's even willing to

help look for your girl,

but I'll keep going.

(ominous orchestral music)

(Chloe laughing)

Chloe!

(door slamming)

(eerie atmospheric music)

(Chloe laughing)

(door creaking)

(Chloe laughing)

(eerie atmospheric music)

(thunder crashing)

(low thudding)

(air raid horn sounding)

(woman laughing)

Adeline.

What are you doing in here?

I was looking for Chloe.

I followed her up the stairs.

That's not possible.

I saw her.

I heard her footsteps.

That could've been anything,

shadows on the wall, the

echoes of your own footsteps.

I heard her voice.

We are alone here.

Your mind is playing tricks.

She's not here.

Do you believe I'll find her?

You believe she's dead.

I still pray for her, for you.

How can you be so sure?

Who wrote these letters?

Have you read them?

Those stories are not true.

She wants us to suffer

as she has suffered.

I know what she wrote.

A vengeful witch lives

within these walls.

[Arthur] It's impossible.

What if the witch has Chloe.

These are lies,

every single one.

Lies.

(sighing)

Tell me you don't believe

in the supernatural.

I didn't.

It's make believe.

How do you know?

How can it be true?

She has a history of delusion.

[Adeline] Who is she?

Her name is Mary, Mary Thomas.

She lost her husband

a few years ago,

but she would wait by the

window all day, every day

for his return.

She claimed he was

on his way home.

To help her escape her pain,

I suggested she stay here.

Her imagination got

the better of her.

When you're alone and

scared, if you let it,

the mind can conjure

horrific images.

What happened to her?

Due to the nature

of her madness,

Mary was sent to a

psychiatric institution.

But what if Mary was right?

Come back to reality, please.

Do you have children?

Do you have any

children, Arthur?

A boy.

If there was a chance,

even the smallest chance,

that going down the

darkest of paths

would lead you back

to your missing boy,

would you close the door

to your superstition

or would you walk the path?

(dramatic orchestral music)

I would do whatever I could.

This is my reality, Arthur.

Everyone else is

giving up on her.

If she's alive, then

I am her last hope.

Spirits do not attach

themselves to dolls.

When we die, we go up there.

Evil can take a

hold of anything.

Do what is necessary.

Good luck, Adeline.

(footsteps approaching)

(eerie atmospheric music)

Chloe?

Chloe?

Can you hear me?

(growling)

(low thudding)

(intense orchestral music)

(woman laughing)

(heavy breathing)

(birds chirping)

(wind howling)

(camera flashing)

(eerie atmospheric music)

(Chloe screaming)

(air raid horn sounding)

Mom!

Chloe!

(low thudding)

(dramatic piano music)

(Chloe laughing)

(eerie atmospheric music)

(Chloe laughing)

[Chloe] You finally found me.

Chloe?

It's me.

[Chloe] Come closer.

It's time to go home.

[Chloe] I want to play.

We need to go.

[Chloe] No!

Come closer.

I wanna play a game.

We're leaving.

We're going home.

(gasping)

(woman laughing)

[Witch] You can't stop

seeing her, can you?

Your imagination

knows no bounds.

You want to know where your

daughter is, don't you?

Tell me.

(witch laughing)

[Witch] Not yet.

Is she alive.

Tell me where she is.

[Witch] Where did

you find such bravery?

Why won't you tell me?

[Witch] I wanna see

how far you will go

to see her again.

I'll do anything.

Whatever it takes.

Look at me.

Look at me.

I can't.

(witch laughing)

[Witch] If you

can not face me,

how can you face the truth?

(witch laughing)

You are giving up

on her, aren't you?

I'm not afraid of you.

Well, you should be.

Are you going to tell

me where my daughter is?

Tell me where she is.

I'm not running away.

Where is she?

[Witch] You are not

ready to know yet.

(low thudding)

(eerie atmospheric music)

[Arthur] Are you going

to tell me what happened?

Are you going to believe me?

Yes.

It's all true.

(dramatic orchestral music)

Mary was right.

We're not alone down here.

Have you seen her?

Have you seen the witch?

She knows where Chloe is.

She's taunting me,

testing me to so how far

I'll take my search for her.
