Family Possessions Page #5

---

The only problem was it has

to be performed

on living sacrifices.

It won't work otherwise.

Okay, so-- so this is getting

a little ridic.

Wh-- what is the point

of the ritual?

It's sort of like reincarnation,

except you get

to choose who you become.

Okay. Well, if she really

believed this

that in fact does prove

that she was sick

and she needed mental help.

No, Rachel, this is a ritual

that has been recorded

for years and years.

It's not something some

crazy woman made up

because she had Alzheimer's.

Another door

that won't stay closed.

What? Does that happen

a lot here?

Have you been experiencing

paranormal phenomena

in this house?

Well, yeah

but just stupid stuff...

like my closet door won't

stay closed and...

I keep hearing noises

in the house.

And there was this rocking horse

in the attic

that was rocking right before

a chair slid across the floor.

I keep seeing visions of witches

popping up everywhere but...

you know, it's--

it's just normal stuff.

OMG, Rachel, she's coming

for you.

Oh.

No, it makes sense,

you said yourself

you don't know why she left you

this house.

She wanted you here

when she died.

Okay...

look, I'm not saying

that couldn't be a possibility,

but I'm really just trying

to help out my family right now.

You know,

my dad just lost his job

and I'm trying to stay strong

by staying here.

I don't wanna make things

worse by telling them

I'm seeing ghosts.

Yeah, I can understand that.

Besides, you'd need some sort

of flare anyway for her

to be able to enter your body.

So you should be safe.

A flare?

Yeah. See, it's here

in the book.

In order for the spirit

to possess another body,

the living has

to be wearing some sort

of flare from the deceased,

like an heirloom or something,

like a broach, a ring--

A necklace?

-She did not leave you that too.

-Yeah.

They gave it to me

at the reading of her will.

Flare is, sort of, like, a

paranormal GPS tracking system.

So she can find you

when she needs you.

Okay.

Well, um, I guess

as long as dead people

don't start turning up

with missing body parts,

I should be okay.

Right.

Okay.Wow,

so my grandmother was a witch

and she wants to possess

my body... awesome.

You know,

maybe I better take this off.

Just to be safe.

Doesn't really go

with anything I wear.

-That was awkward, wasn't it?

-TRISTEN:
Yes!

God, why would he kiss her?

I mean, what could he

possibly see in her?

I don't know, Tristen,

maybe he...

maybe he just likes her.

Just likes her?

Why would he settle for that

when he could have this?

Look, you know

that's like looking at an elbow

-for me, right?

-[SIGHS]

Look, forget about her.

What are we gonna do tonight?

Um, I think me

and the girls are gonna go

to a real bar and proceed

to get sh*t hammered.

That sounds like a lot of fun.

I'll buy the first drink.

Sorry, Tyson,

only real girls allowed.

No queens on tonight.

Now, can you go lock up

while I finish changing?

Sure, great.

Okay.

B*tch.

Tristen? Tristen!

I want to have a little talk

with you.

Tristen?

Oh my god.

Maggie?

Maggie?

Maggie?

Maggie?

Hello?

Who's there?

Hello?

Who is that?

Andy?

Mom? Dad?

What's going on?

Rachel!

Jesus, Maggie.

-Oh my god, Rachel, it's my mom.

-What's going on?

I went home after I left here

and I didn't think

anyone was there at the house,

-it was so dark.

-Maggie, what happened?

I found my mom. Sh-- she's dead.

Someone killed her.

She was bleeding everywhere

and her ear was cut off.

It was just like the ritual.

Oh my god, Maggie, come on.

Let's go, we have to get help,

come on.

Okay. So, look, my parents

aren't here.

I was looking for them

before you came over.

-What are we gonna do?

-[TAPPING]

Mom?

Mom, are you down here?

-Hello?

-Rachel, it's Kevin.

Kevin?

Yeah, it's Tyson

and Tristen.

-They've been killed.

-Wait, what happened?

I-- I don't know.

I was coming by Crave

and I saw them.

Oh my god.

Yeah, I'm waiting on the cops

and my dad to get here.

Kevin. Kevin, listen to me.

Maggie's here. She said

-her mom's been killed too.

-KEVIN:
What?

And I can't find

my family either.

Rachel, you need

to get out--

Kevin?

Kevin!

What is it?

It's Tristen and Tyson.

They're dead.

Oh my god, we have to get

out of here, let's go.

Hey.

What is that?

-Rachel, don't.

-It's fine, come on.

This can't be real.

It's the ritual to Lumiru.

It's Kevin.

-What's going on?

-Dad?

-What are you doing?

-Oh, thank god you're here.

M-- Mr. Dunn, we need your help.

My mom--

Did you touch anything?

What? Uh...

No. Why?

Good...

It took me awhile

to get this all set just right.

It's almost done...

except for one small piece.

Dad?

All I need now is a nose...

and the puzzle will be complete.

Dad, what is this about?

What is this?

You detectives should

already know, right?

Know what?

That your friend there,

that's the one that gave you

all the detes on the ritual,

right?

-In grandmother's book?

-Yes, in grandmother's book.

See, I told you I was

gonna fix your closet door.

Remember?

You said that it wouldn't close

at dinner and I told you

that I would fix it.

Well, I went up to your room

but you and your friend

were sitting on the bed

having this little chat

about some ritual

in the Book of Shadows.

She was trying

to complete the ritual.

The only problem was it has

to be performed

-on living sacrifices.

-[DOOR CREAKING]

I was listening a little

too intently

because I almost gave myself

away when I leaned in too clos.

Whoops.

Dad, what is this all about?

It's about the perfect plan.

Albertha, your grandmother,

my mother didn't leave me

anything in the will,

absolutely nothing.

You got it all, money,

the house, the estate.

She gave it all to you...

and then I heard Angela Lansbury

here talking about this ritual

and I had an idea of how

to get everything back.

Mr. Dunn.

Picture it, if you will,

poor little bug-eyed outcast

girl Maggie... has no friends.

She hates her life.

She hates her mom.

She wants to be someone else.

Along comes new girl Rachel.

She's awesome

and her family's great

and she has a cool new

boyfriend.

OMG, Maggie is just totes jelly

of Rachel.

So, she gets

this witchcraft book

and discovers this ritual,

how to take over

someone else's body.

So she needs five victims

to make it work.

So, what does she do?

She kills her mother

for an ear, slice,

and then she kills

the two coffee shop employees

that were picking on her

for a hand, chop,

and a tongue, slice,

and then she kills

her friend's mother

for an eye, chop.

And now she just needs

one last piece

to complete the ritual.

A nose.

So... she decides to kill Rachel

for her nose.

I mean, it's a cute nose.

Am I right? [CHUCKLES]

So how does this end?

Well, Rachel's father

was working really late.

You see, he just got

this brand-new job

and is trying to make a good

impression with the boss.
