INT. CABIN- NIGHT

EMMA walks towards her parents bedroom, holding a knife in her left hand. As she walks closer Emma starts singing a song.

EMMA:

�

Fly little bird

Fly up in the sky

Fly and you'll find your mother once and for all�

�

You don't need to be afraid anymore

Mama got you safe and sound

So don't be afraid again anymore�

Emma opens the door to her parents room, she switches on the light.

MARY (EMMA'S MOTHER)

Emma is that you?

ROY (EMMA'S FATHER)

Emma it's to early to wake up, go back to sleep

EMMA:

But I don't want to sleep

ROY:

(shouts)

Well I don't want to deal with you so go back to sleep now

EMMA:

Mommy can you play with me?

MARY:

Maybe later, I don't have time for you now, you're a nuisance

EMMA:

But I want to play now. I don't want to wait until later. Why can't we play now?

ROY:

(angry)

(Gets up and yell at Emma)

Emma that's enough, it's not time to play and you're a big girl now twelve years old, you shouldn't be playing at this age. What's wrong with you?

EMMA:

(angry)

That's all of you and mom. You never care about how I feel. I hate you two.

Emma lifts up the knife and stabs her father.

MARY:

Roy, no!

Mary got up and grabbed the knife from Emma.

MARY:

What's wrong with you? You stupid child.

EMMA:

What's wrong with me?

What's wrong with you?

You two never care how I feel! Ever!

Mary walked out of the room. She rushed to the cellphone to call the ambulance. But Emma went to the kitchen, grabbed another knife and walked slowly to her mother.

EMMA:

Oh, mother you better run

Mary was shaking with fear as her daughter got closer to her.

MARY:

(scared)

No, Emma, No!

I'll give you…all the attention you want. Please, just… just spare me.

EMMA:

( nods her head slowly, no)

It's too late for apologies. Time to die.

Police woman picks up the phone.

POLICE WOMAN:

911, what's your emergency?

MARY:

(panic)

Help me, my daughter is trying to…

Before Mary could finish Emma got closer to her then stabbed her.

MARY (CONT'D)

Ah!

POLICE WOMAN:

Hello, what's your emergency?

Emma changed her tone from anger to worried and put on a sad face.

EMMA:

(sobbing)

Help, my mom and dad are dead?

POLICE WOMAN:

Hold on, are you sure they're dead?

EMMA:

Yea, I check their pulse and they aren't breathing, and a knife is in my mom. Please hurry. I'm scared.

POLICE WOMAN:

Ok, the police are on their way.

While the police were on their way. Emma dragged her mother back to the room. She washed off the knife and held it with a thick tablecloth then pushed it down in her mother's body. Afterwards, she opens a door and uses her father's shoe to make footprints coming in and leaving. When she was finished with all that Emma stayed in her closet until the cops arrived.

I/E.CABIN-LATER

The police arrived and Emma made up a bunch of lies about how her parents got killed.

EMMA:

(straight face)

(shivering)

I was sleeping in my room, then suddenly I heard my mother scream. I got up and looked through the crack in my door. I saw a man walking towards my door. I ran inside my closet and locked the door. After he was done searching up and down in my room he left. Afterwards I called the police.

POLICE MAN:

Ok, did you see the man's face? Can you describe him?

EMMA:

(nods her head, no)

His face is slowly coming back to me so you'll have to wait for a while until I feel better again.

POLICE MAN:

Ok, take some rest. I'll get back to you.

EMMA:

(nods her head, yes)

Ok

The policeman, named KEN, (30's) walks up to a police woman, named MADDY (20's).

KEN:

(worried/tired)

She's…a little shaken up by the situation, so…limit the questions for now.

MADDY:

A little, the girl isn't even shedding a single tear and her eyes don't look like she was crying before.

KEN:

Don't know about that but…we need to focus on getting her a home and as much information out of her as soon as possible. We need to find the killer no matter what.

Maddy looks over at Emma. Emma staring Maddy dead in the eyes. Maddy turned away scared.

MADDY:

She look like a little devil

KEN:

Whatever you say…all I want right now is to make sure that girl is safe with someone she knows and will take good care of her.

KEN (CONT'D)

So, let's wrap up. We'll continue the investigation tomorrow. Let's go.

Everyone started packing up. Emma staring at all of them in hatred. Maddy calls Emma over to get in the car. Couple minutes later they all left.

INT. POLICE OFFICE- MORNING

KEN:

Did you find any of the girl's nearby relatives?

MADDY:

Unfortunately, no, I have searched everywhere, but I still haven't found anyone. I'm starting to wonder if she even has any relatives in the state.

KEN:

I'll just go and ask her if she has any relatives.

Maddy stares at Ken as he walks out of the office.

INT. COMMUNITY CENTER- LATER

Emma was playing with a Barbie doll she found in the lost and found. After a while of playing with it Emma threw it away. Then Ken walked in.

KEN:

Hey, kiddo, it isn’t nice to throw things.

EMMA:

Well, it wasn't very nice when that man killed my parents. Now was it?

KEN:

No, it wasn't, but I'm sure you have more family you can visit, right?

EMMA:

I have no family. It was just only my mom, dad and I.

KEN:

No one else

EMMA:

(nods her head, no)

No one else but the three of us.

Ken walked out disappointed. He then went back to the police station.

EXT.ON THE ROAD- EVENING

CARL AND AMY were driving a RED HONDA CITY 4 GEN into the city for vacation with their children JOHN and ROSEMARY. They were all listening to the song 'WAITING FOR LOVE' BY Avicii. They drove for long hours until they finally reached their new home for their vacation.

INT. NEW HOUSE/VILLA- NIGHT

Amy walked in the kitchen wearing her NIGHTY. There her husband, Carl was working on his computer.

AMY:

(sighed)

Come on Carl, can't you go a day without working? The entire reason we decided to come on this trip is because you are always overworking yourself.

CARL:

I know, honey. Just give me a little bit more time then I'll be finished.

(Carl continues to type on his computer)

AMY:

(roles eyes)

You always do this. You see this why we can never agree. You said…

CARL:

(shouts)

Amy, not now!

AMY:

(yells)

No Carl, it's now or never. Every single time you said that we're going on a family trip. You are always working, and when you said you're just going to finish up, you never stop and work the entire trip. It's…it's like you haven't taken a break at all, and you don't see that you're overworking yourself and you can die.

CARL:

(brush his hand over his head)

Amy, I get that you're worried for my safety and health but I'm fine.

AMY:

(tears up, she nods her head, yes as tears flows down her eyes)

That's exactly what CHRIS said, and look at him now. Dead…in his grave. He left his wife with a huge burden. And I can see how you two are brothers now.

Amy turned and walked to her children's room as she wiped her tears.

CARL:

Amy! Amy, come on!

Amy went in her kids room to put them to bed

AMY:

Come on kids, time for bed.
