Darkness Wakes Page #2

in the middle of the road.

I got out to see

that she was okay.

But she was just like

shouting and ranting at me.

I mean I think she was pissed.

Jesus Christ.

Morning ladies.

[Kate] Hey.

[Waiter] Can I get you

something?

I'm gonna have a hot

chocolate.

Yeah, me too please.

That's a cute accent

where are you from?

Um,

Paris.

American school when

I was a kid.

American school.

[Kate] Yeah, what about you?

[Waiter] I'm from California.

Amazing I've never

been to the West Coast.

[Waiter] It's beautiful.

You have sun, red woods, ocean.

Sounds great.

Yeah, you'd really like it.

Hot chocolates coming up.

Thanks.

Well, that'll be nice for you.

- He's cute.

- You're terrible.

Yeah.

So how's it going?

Well, last night was awful.

I started hearing these

noises in middle of the night,

so I get up to have a

look around and stuff.

I open this door and the

cat jumped out at me.

It scared me half to death.

I'm not even joking.

I thought I was

having a heart attack.

I liked cats

up until last night,

and you're gonna laugh.

But,

honestly I can't shake this

feeling like I'm being watched.

Okay, it's totally haunted.

Yeah.

I'm being serious.

I had the worst

nightmare last night.

I can't...

I can't even describe.

You poor thing.

Well, you know it's only

a couple more nights.

At least they're paying

you properly for it.

Yeah.

Yeah and they have given me

free reign in the wine cellar.

Well, there you go.

Every cloud and all that.

Yeah, I guess.

Hot chocolates.

Thank you.

Thanks, handsome.

You're welcome.

Thanks handsome.

Well, I'm French.

Unbelievable.

I'm dreading going back there.

Right, tell you what.

How about I come out

to the house tonight to

keep you company

for a few hours.

I would love that but

they were quite

specific about not

having people over.

Whatever.

(speaking in foreign language)

It's just a couple of hours

no harm.

Plus,

I've never been to a

haunted house.

Ah, ha, ha, ha, ha.

(dramatic music)

Hello.

(dramatic music)

(soft rock music)

(soft rumbling)

(soft rock music)

(soft rumbling)

(dramatic music)

(floorboards creaking)

(tense music)

(nails scraping)

(heavy gasping)

(monster growling)

(violent screaming)

(loud knocking on door)

- Hi.

- Hey,

I was starting to think you'd

been eaten

by the beast of the house

or something.

Whoa, look at this place.

No wonder you've been freaked

out.

Hey, I need to get dressed.

So, um

I got another call from Seth.

Asked me to talk to you.

He said he was sorry about

pressuring you and everything.

Thanks letting me know.

He's so sweet.

Not to mention seriously hot.

I think you're crazy

to ditch him.

I haven't ditched him.

I just...

I just need some time to think.

Yeah, thinking's overrated.

If you ask me some times

all a girl needs is a good

f***.

Can you imagine living

in a place this size

just the two of you.

No, but they used to

have a son.

Used to?

He died apparently.

No way.

Creepy on f***ing creepier.

Did they say how?

No, and I couldn't exactly

ask could I?

(tense music)

Maybe the kid was a freak.

Oh, come on.

He's not dead at all.

He's locked up

in the cellar somewhere.

Kate.

Or maybe he's the

one you've been hearing

roaming the house at night.

I do have to sleep here

you know.

Yeah.

Alright let's go

I'm freezing my tits off.

Oh, no I don't know

what that is.

But if you are planning on

driving at

any point tonight I would not

drink it.

Come on you really gotta

lighten up a little bit.

(coughing) Oh, god.

I swear you could run

a car on that.

I did warn you.

Right, my well in size

bladder has had enough.

Where's the nearest toilet?

End of the corridor

on the left.

[Kate] Okay, cool.

I'll be right back.

(dramatic music)

(Kate screaming)

(loud thud)

Kate.

Kate.

Kate.

(floorboard creaking)

Kate.

Seriously I'm really not

in the mood for this.

Kate.

(door creaking open)

Oh, come on.

For f***'s sake.

(suspenseful music)

(floorboards creaking)

Kate.

Kate.

(suspenseful music)

This really isn't funny anymore.

(tense tone)

You f***ing b*tch.

Sorry.

Sorry I couldn't resist.

Oh, my god are you trying

to give me a heart attack?

Well, yeah, kind of.

Come here.

[Charlotte] You sure

you're okay to drive?

I'm pretty sure

you're over the limit.

I'm all right.

[Kate] Listen

sorry about earlier.

I just couldn't help myself.

[Charlotte] That's okay

I understand.

If it was the other way around

I probably would've

done the same.

Yeah,

we both know that's not true.

Listen you're gonna

have to loosen up a bit.

Enjoy yourself.

Relax.

You know.

Yeah.

Life's too short.

Yeah.

Drive safe okay.

Yeah, see you soon.

(soft music)

(suspenseful music)

(suspenseful music)

(monster growling)

(bones crunching)

(monster growling)

(tense tone)

(violent gasping)

(soft sobbing)

What is happening to me?

(monster growling)

(floorboards creaking)

(suspenseful music)

(bones crackling)

(violent screaming)

(suspenseful music)

(dial tone beeping)

[Operator] The number

you have dialed

has not been recognized.

Please check and try again.

The number you have dialed.

(dial tone beeping)

The number you have dialed

has not been recognized.

Please check and try again.

F***.

(somber music)

I'm having a nightmare.

Honestly I am freaking out.

I swear I'm getting sick.

I don't know what to do.

[Kate] Ah, hon I'm so sorry.

Listen, f*** the money.

I am not staying here another

night by myself. I can't.

The Farrows left me

a wrong number.

I can't just leave.

[Kate] Ah, babe.

Look I'm really sorry to ask.

But would you come over

and maybe stay the night

this time.

Please.

[Kate] Babe, I'd love to help.

But I'm at my

dad's place tonight.

I can't really just piss off.

I mean I haven't seen the

old bastard for months

and I only just got here.

Yeah, no, of course

I understand.

[Kate] Right look tell you

what I'll look into it, okay.

Yeah, I'm definitely

gonna sort something out.

Thank you, thanks.

[Kate] Hey,

what are friends for, right?

Hey, you just hang in there,

yeah.

- Yeah.

- Okay.

- Yeah, will do.

- I'll see you soon, hon.

(dramatic music)

Alright cat, one of us

should eat something.

Come on.

There you go.

You got to be

f***ing kidding me.

Puss, puss, puss, puss.

(loud thud)

(suspenseful music)

Kate.

Kate.

Kate.

Kate.

- It's me, it's me.

- Oh, my god.

It's me.

Seth,

you scared the hell out of me.

You scared me.

What are you doing here?

I spoke to Kate.

She told me to come

and check on you

to see if you were all right.

You are alright?

Yeah.

How did it you get in?

The back door was opened.

[Charlotte] Of course.

What is this? Are you

trying to murder me?

Come here.

You've just tripped it.

All done.

Easy as that.

My hero.

Just happy to help

a damsel in distress.

(soft piano music)

That was beautiful.

Yeah.

I knew you'd like that one.

Thank you for coming over.
