I Will Follow You Into the Dark Page #5

Come up here, walk with me.

- Do you know where the fire escape is?

- I have no idea.

Sophia, run!

Sam!

Let me out!

Sophia, help me!

Astrid, pull!

No!

It's not moving!

Sophia!

Astrid!

Okay.

I'm gonna go find another door.

Please, no! No!

Sophia!

Hello?

Who are you?

Just an old man...

Forgotten up here with

the rest of them.

Someone else is up here.

Oh, yes, there is.

You must not be able to see

them all yet, but... you will

What do you mean?

It's ok.

They don't care about you

and you can't help them.

What is this?

It's what none of you

can normally see.

We're everywhere.

Like... oxygen in the darkness.

We're crawling the walls into the

empty spaces of your houses.

Most of us, we won't survive.

Just like you.

Normally when you hear a

whisper, we're screaming.

When you hear a tap, or a pound.

If you're here seeing me...

someone around you is passing.

Dying. And holding

on very tightly.

Is it someone close to you?

You should let him go.

I can't.

Chances are he's too far

gone to bring back.

But I heard him scream.

I know he's alive.

Even though he's holding on...

He would be gone soon.

And all of this,

will be gone with him.

You don't believe me.

A window opens when you die.

Between here and there.

And in an infested

place like this...

The beasts are running free.

Just because you're so desperately

want none of this to exist...

You can't change the

fact that it does.

And that we are all around you.

Always.

You never find him if you

don't believe where he is.

Maybe that's a good thing.

Because...

They won't stop until

he's completely gone.

Who?

Them.

The demons and the dead.

There's a world out here,

constantly peddling.

If you keep looking for him...

They might take you too.

But if this is real,

then why are you here?

Why aren't you in

some better place?

Too much pain to leave just yet.

You'll find nothing but...

Tortured souls here.

The ones at peace had gone.

Why did they take him from me?

He must've opened himself to

them or chose to let them in.

He wouldn't do that.

You'd be surprised.

They'll crawled into any

opening they can find.

How am I supposed to

believe any of this?

Not only are you going to

have to believe it's real...

But you must throw yourself

in the middle of it.

You want to find him

and bring him back?

Then you're going to

have to join him first.

Hello?

Hello?

Can you hear me?

Are you okay?

I'm fine.

- But I heard screaming.

- It wasn't me.

Did you find anything?

No, nothing.

Come with me.

Where?

Just come.

This should work.

Why are we stopping?

Look at you, sweetheart.

You have to sit down for a second.

We've been at this for hours.

There's no way we're gonna find Adam

if we don't rest and catch our breath.

Lie down. Just for a minute.

Come on.

Okay.

Where did you get this necklace?

My dad.

It's funny cause I had a charm

bracelet that matches it...

I lost it the last time I was here.

Maybe my couch ate it.

I'll look for it tomorrow.

You know what they say about people

whose stuff goes missing around here...

Stop it.

I don't know, I thought

you didn't believe in it.

So? It's creepy.

You don't think that crazy lady under the

bed has anything to do with it, do you?

I'm seriously never

staying here again.

What? I don't think so.

You're not going anywhere.

I'm not gonna let any crazy

lady steal your stuff.

Good, cause I don't want to die

in despair and into nothingness.

You think I'm weird, don't you?

I do think that.

Does it freak you out that

I'm always dreading death?

I just think...

You think there's nothing,

but maybe...

Maybe there's something.

What are you doing?

I didn't want to wake you.

There's hot water in here.

I just felt so disgusting.

I haven't felt clean in so long.

Where's my necklace?

Wait, how long have I been asleep?

15 minutes.

He's not up here, Sophia.

- I think it's time we stop looking.

- I heard him.

What's wrong with you?

I think you need some more sleep.

What?

You're not thinking clearly.

I can't just leave you here.

Get up!

I've seen the way you look at me.

You're intimidated.

I know.

But listen to me, Sophia.

There's a chance Adam

didn't want you to find him.

You're a little too

damaged for him.

I think he figured that out.

You shouldn't even

be up here, Sophia.

Did you think of that?

What are you doing?

Just trying to be your friend.

You deserve honesty.

You're not my friend.

It was supposed to be me.

Adam, where are you?

Where are you?

Where are you?

Sophia...

Adam?

Found what you're looking for?

They came for me, not Adam.

You don't know that.

These are my things

that have been missing.

He's up here.

I just have to revive him.

You can't. You have to

find his body first.

I know how to find him.

What do you mean?

I have to join him.

You have to what?

Do you know CPR?

- Why?

- Do you or not?

Yes I know CPR, Sophia. Why?

Because I need you to kill me.

Okay.

It's pretty cold now.

This isn't going to work.

It could.

You don't even know he's dead.

He was screaming before.

And I just heard him whisper.

Do you really think he

would do this for you?

He already did.

You're gonna have to hold me

down no matter how hard I fight.

- Yes.

- Okay.

I can find him out there.

Then we just have to go straight

to his body and revive him.

Let me see your watch.

Alright.

Once I stop moving,

pull me out of the water.

I can last about 6 minutes

without any permanent damage.

All I need is 3 minutes.

After 3 minutes, start CPR.

Whatever you do,

don't let this get to 6.

All I need you to do

is bring me back.

Sophia!

Penny.

Penny, I'm so sorry.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Sophia! Astrid!

Wait...

Sophia!

No, no...

Don't leave me. Please!

Sophia!

Sophia? Astrid?

Oh God, I thought it was over.

Did you see the...

What the f*** is going on?

How long has she been under?

Sophia.

She's not breathing. Astrid!

Sophia!

Adam!

Sophia!

Adam!

F***... What?

Come on!

You're not giving up, girl.

You are not giving up!

Help!

Adam! Where are you?

Adam?

That's it. Come on.

Stay with me. Stay with me.

Come on, come back.

That's it. Sophia, that's it.

Adam, where are you?

Sophia.

You have to go back.

No.

Where is your body?

Tell me. I can find you.

You have to go.

Wake up.

Come on, that's it Sophia.

You can still make it back, Sophia.

Please.

Come back, don't give up.

Come on! Sophia!

You have to go back.

No, Sophia. Come back.

Sophia!

Help!

Why did you do that?

Because I'm not gonna lose you.

- They came for me last night.

- I know.

Then why did you take my place?

Because I love you.

What happens now?

Everything.
