The Sisterhood of Night
1
It was in an
atmosphere of furious
accusation and
hysterical rumor that
this story took place.
We were between fourteen
We traveled in
bands of five or six.
We met in dark
and secret places.
We had taken a vow of silence.
One of us was silenced forever.
media frenzy that erupted
in our town.
But few know the true secret
behind the Sisterhood of Night.
Listen carefully.
This is our story.
It all started with one girl's
decision to go offline.
Mary Warren was a
straight-C student
who was voted, "Most
Likely to Become Famous."
Emily Parris was an only child
with a blog that nobody read.
followers though most of
the time she felt
like a follower herself.
Next.
Why don't each of
you tell me what happened.
She ruined my audition!
Stinking pitch.
"Stinking pitch,
that the sea, mounting to the...
The welkin's ass cheek...
...to the welkin's
ass cheek..."
No! I mean
"the welkin's cheek".
Mr. Barry, can I start over?
Mary!? How would you like it if
someone messed up your audition?
Let's see what you can do.
"If by your art,
put the wild waters in
this roar, allay them.
She stole my phone.
Emily read
Mary's texts, posted them
on her blog and made Mary's
life one big humiliation.
Didn't you see what
Emily posted about Mary's mom?
Mrs. Warren's having an
affair with some guy at work.
Did you see Emily's blog?
It's like Fatal Attraction
except nobody's died yet!
Everyone move back.
She called me a "blog war"
A blog what?
War!
Don't you mean "whore"?
The "w" is silent
It is...
Everyone was waiting
for Mary to retaliate online.
But on that night, Mary's
Facebook status read:
And she never logged in again.
Dear Diary. Or whatever
you're supposed to say.
I can't remember the last
wasn't on my computer.
I love the
solitude of the night.
And I want to
plunge into secrecy.
As in to black smoke.
To disappear
It was on this
night that Mary began to form
the idea of a sisterhood.
Catherine Huang and
Lavinia Hall were the first
two girls to be trusted
with the secret.
Last week...
What?
I had this really bad thought.
Bad as in badass
or bad/perverse?
Just bad.
Like I don't wanna
say it out loud.
We're offline.
You can tell us.
Or write it down.
That's what I do.
You really can't tell anyone.
I won't, I promise.
...You have to swear.
It's our secret
Cheers.
Are you kidding?
Are you kidding me?
Everybody,
that's the fire alarm.
Single file.
Everybody head for the exits.
Just leave your belongings and
head to the exits.
No pushing.
Oh my God!
Everything that
happens here stays between
the three of us.
You have my vow of silence.
You have my vow of silence.
You... have
my vow of silence.
Are you ready?
I wouldn't say the
Mary/Emily conflict was over
by the end of the year,
but they both moved
on to other things.
Mary with her photography and
Emily with her acting class
over the summer.
Principal Harvey didn't
think I needed to keep
meeting with them.
But no one could have predicted
what was going to happen...
Dear God, please
help me make some friends at
school this year.
Please send Mary Warren away.
Maybe she can get swine flu -
I mean not seriously.
Please help Mary see that
because I was wrong
and I'm sorry,
and she should pick me
to be in The Sisterhood.
One or the other.
Catherine!
You're going to be late.
I made you a BLT, your favorite.
I buy lunch on
You're such a little poser.
Alright... well
I'll pick you up after school.
Four o'clock?
We'll go see her together.
Okay.
Bye Gong-gong.
Hey kit cat.
Hi.
So my mom went back
into the hospital.
And...
her hair is all gone now.
I'm going to see her today.
I just can't.
Are you okay, honey?
Lavinia?
Morning.
Hey.
that sign fixed for you.
Yeah, I know.
But I secretly like It though.
It keeps me humble.
How's Lavinia doing?
That good, huh...
What's going on? Anything new?
Any big changes?
Well, I just started dating.
Oh.
Maybe she should
start coming in to talk
to you again, you know?
During lunch like last year...
she said you were
a good listener.
Yeah sure.
I'm here.
Just think it over
and let me know.
Okay.
...Travis, definitely.
They're coming. Here they come.
There were definitely
rumors about The Sisterhood.
Nobody knew what it was,
which just made the girls
who weren't in it want
to be in it even more...
But you had
to be chosen by Mary.
I was never really
sure how Mary decided
who to pick.
We were all so different.
With me, my family had just
moved to Kingston from Oregon.
I'd see Catherine Huang kind of
watching me.
And one day it started pouring.
Everyone ran for cover.
But I love the rain.
And I missed it.
Soon after that, Mary and
Catherine gave me the secret
sign and you had to figure out
where the meeting was based
on a clue.
We'll see you later.
Bye.
Mary said I
introduced her to photography.
She said she took
photographs to observe a world
that just wanted to observe her,
but what she taught me was how
to see the mystery in life.
You know, one of these
and find out what you do.
Where were you at lunch?
I had to make
up that Math test...
Hey, what do you
guys think of Jeff Johns?
I mean, he's cute.
He's always
staring at you on the
way to school you know.
Is he boyfriend material?
Okay, who
would you guys save from
a burning building,
Jeff Johns or Ryan Gosling?
Sorry Jeff!
From the girl who
kisses his poster every night...
Oh guys, this is how I practice.
Wait, this is Travis
I'm guessing, right?
Of course this is
Travis, who else would it be?
You missed it!
Okay, okay, okay.
I promise I won't do that.
Keep twirling
Finally.
That's a good one.
Oh yeah you're crazy hot!
You're like so attractive.
Guys!
Keep going.
Hey guys, wait.
Let's do something
for the variety show.
Really?
Like a dance or something?
Yeah. I mean like I
can make the costumes
and Mary, you can...
I'll bust a move.
No, but I mean seriously
I think we should.
Yeah, I think so too.
- It'll be fun.
- Let's do it.
But only if the song is like...
Amazing!
More girls
began to roam the night
as new members were initiated.
Not right now.
Okay. Okay. Bye.
Don't forget to
silence your phones.
Did you see her?
Honey, we can
move up. Come on.
No! It's not fair.
Emily.
You don't know
what she did to me!
Why don't you tell everybody where
were you last night, huh, Mary?
Why don't you tell everybody about
the big secret you're hiding?
I saw her!
I have the picture!
Ask her what she was doing
last night in the woods.
Honey, stop it.
