Ink Page #4

I just want you to know...

I just... I want you... I want you...

- John.

- Yeah.

I love you too.

This is who you were.

Why are you here?!

What do you mean?

I know who you are Storyteller. This is a trap!

You set me up! I'll kill her! I'll kill us all right

here!

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! I'm the one in chains

here, remember Sparky, I'm the one who's un-

armed.

Liar!

- You're confused by your own paranoia.

- Who is this girl? Why do you care about this

child?

You are in complete control.

What is it you're so afraid of?

Why the scars Ink?

Do you even remember how you got them or did

you lose your memory when you came through?

It was suicide wasn't it?

I can tell from your scars your entry was painful.

Remember.

You can see nothing.

They'll be gone soon.

At the assembly...

When you become one of them?

You've been given promises of beauty and bliss

in exchange for your soul.

This girl...

she's your ticket?

They told you bring her to the table and you

become one of them?

Numb to your pain.

They told you to take her as a sacrifice?

That's all she is.

There's nothing in you that sees something

else?

I have no sympathy for their kind.

Don't try to manipulate my emotions, I don't

have any.

I'm not interested in manipulation, just in

revealing the truth. But you can't accept it.

I accept what's real!

You can't even accept yourself!

Why do you hide under that cloak?

You wreak of guilt.

Guilt comes from somene with a soul.

Words.

A Storyteller.

Where is your army?

I have no army Ink.

I'm alone.

No one is coming for me, there's no trap.

You are in control.

Yours, hers, my fate, are in your hands.

You will not stop me.

This girl will go to the assembly.

Hello!

You've come to visit Sadie?

Sadie loves visitors.

And they love to visit me.

They love to take my picture.

Love to see me smile.

They ask about me all the time.

What is she doing? Who is she with?

Where have they all gone?

But here you are... my... audience.

My name is... Ink.

Who is this?!

Her ugliness disgusts me!

I am Ink.

These are my prisoners.

I have a delivery for the Assembly.

I need part of a code.

I will speak with you.

But not in her presence.

Ooohhh... a kiddie!

Roar!

It's gettin' there.

Guess we're not well liked here.

Who's she?

She's a drifter.

She was once a person.

And when she died she came here.

But she wanders around not knowing her place.

She's not a Storyteller like me. Or an Incubus.

She refuses both sides. Like Ink.

How long have you been a Storyteller?

How long?

Well, that depends on how you measure time.

For us, time doesn't work the same as it does for

you.

We live in two different timelines.

She's cutting your hair.

She wants your hair for part of the code.

You'll give it to her.

It's yours.

Filthy! Probably worthless!

Of course I won't tell anybody I took it from some

cheap bag!

Of course, in the right light...

in the right light, no one notices anything.

When they light me, it's as though I were silk.

Shimmering almost!

Reflecting every gaze.

That's enough.

There's a bigger picture.

What?

Liev says we can't see, but...

there's a bigger picture.

Should we send for help yet?

Not yet...

she needs more time.

How are you able to do what you do?

It's all about the beat.

God may have taken my sight.

But I can hear the beat.

The beat?

Beat of the world.

We're all part of a song, I just hear the music.

You can physically change the path of people's

lives?

That's what they say.

You think he'll be okay?

Sure. A little physical damage can be good.

Shake the sh*t out of ' em.

That's what I always say.

He's convinced himself he's God.

We're just reminding him he's not.

Takes humility to remember who we are.

If he embraces his shame...

she has a chance. If not, the girl will be lost.

That can't happen.

Better get movin' big boy...

she doesn't have much time.

Shelly... baby... baby... stay awake... baby...

Shelly... Shelly... Shelly...

Stay... stay with me... stay with me...

stay with me.

Stay awake... stay awake... just stay awake...

- Sir come with me.

- Wait!

- Sir we need to get your leg checked out.

- Wait! Wait! Wait!

- Come on sir.

- Wait!

Come on, she's going to be okay.

Sir come with me.

She's going to be okay.

- Let's get your leg checked out.

- She's going to be okay.

Let's go over here.

That's when I lost you.

That's when I lost you.

But it wasn't your fault.

I didn't know what to do.

I didn't know what to do.

I know.

I know.

I came home, and you were gone.

But your things were there like you... like you

were just coming back.

I didn't... I didn't know what to do.

'Cause I couldn't for the life of me wrap my mind

around the fact that...

you were never coming back.

It's okay.

This wasn't your fault.

I miss you so much.

I miss you so much.

I miss you too.

Why don't you fight?

You're letting this happen.

You're a warrior.

You should fight.

Fighting would only blind you further.

Do you like my hair?

It's all the rage right now.

Makes no sense.

What do you care about her?

There's billions of children out there.

Her life means nothing.

I believe it means something to her.

Yet you push forward.

I have nothing to lose.

I'm damned regardless.

You've convinced yourself of that.

You're desperate now.

I know my fate is determined.

I don't believe the rumors about you.

What are you doing with her?

She's an extra... gift... for the acceptance.

Dangerous, but he will be happy.

- Get her Dad!

- Feet! Feet! Feet!

Go! Go!

This is who you were.

How do you feel?

Lost.

You were in a car accident. You have a nice

little concussion.

Just go ahead and relax and the Doctor will be

with you in a moment. Okay?

Where am I?

You're at Lutheran Hospital.

Lutheran Hospital.

There's not much time.

Come on John.

Come on John!

Sh*t! We need help I'm launching the pop!

Do it!

What's going on?

The remote... it's... it's not working.

Damn it!

It has to be launched from the base then.

Go Allel! We'll hold them off as long as we can.

He won't make it without me!

I'll go.

Wow!

Crazy blind bastard on the loose!

One, two, three, four...

I'll stay with him.

Buy me as much time as you can.

It's not going to be much!

One, two, three, four...

One, two, three, four...

One, two, three, four...

Uh, hey, hey, excuse me...

If I wanted to find a patient...

...a little girl?

Little girl? All children are in pediatrics which is

one floor up and to the left.

- Okay?

- Okay. Yeah.

One, two, three, four...

One, two, three, four... one...

three, four, one, two, three, four...

Emma...

Emma, look at me.

Oh my...

What?

I think the change is complete.

I see a lioness.

At first I wasn't sure, but then suddenly...

I noticed something.

Look how brave you've become.

The little girl I met is no more.

She's now the most ferocious creature on Earth.

I knew I was right.

When I die will I be a Storyteller like you?
