Previously;
Blood Harmony-
Story 1- The killer Jester is being interrogated by Detective Ann Howard who seems to have a passionate hatred for Jester. Instead of taking him to the police she holds him in an abandoned shed and interrogates him. We learn that he was just found by her after committing several murders in the nearby forest.
We learn that Jester is a sick individual who seems to believe he has a great master plan which begun with the killings in the woods.
Jester finally escapes her grasp and beats Ann half to death. He leaves her with a taunting message that he killed the teenagers ‘for fun’.
Story 2- Jason Bie’riel joins a group of teens as they go on a trip into a remote forest in order to write music. Unbeknownst to them Jason has lured them there to kill them with a mysterious partner. At the end of this story he is caught by Detective Ann Howard.
Unanswered Questions
Who was the second killer?
What killings was Ann referring to that happened before those in the woods and why were they so sick?
Jester tells Ann that he killed the kids for fun. Did he really kill the teens for fun of is there a deeper meaning?
How did Jester know Sky?
Is Jester’s real name Jason Bie’reil?
Near the end Jester claims that he has something special planned for Ways when he and The Freak corner her. What was the ‘special’ thing that Jason had planned for Ways?
Tom Williams-
Tall and hansom. Tom has a winning smile. Tom is deeply haunted by his past and occasionally it shows. Tom’s first priority is himself although he can rarely show love towards others. Tom finds it difficult to show much emotion. He walks around as if he is untouchable but in the face of danger Tom is quick to run although he is cocky when he has the upper hand. Tom is also extremely twofaced.
Amy Williams-
Tall, elegant and beautiful. Amy looks like a tortured beauty who has suffered a lot in silence over the years. She has a cold deadly smile which she occasionally flashes. Amy mostly talks in a calm but tired voice.
Jess + Gilly-
Jess is the eldest and in her teens. She has finally come to realise how spineless her father is and this has made her want to revolt against him and his morels. She has never got on with Amy but lately they are clashing even more. Gilly is about twelve years of age and very naive to the world. She sees the best in her father.
Billy Mc Neil-
Billy is a tall and hansom young man with some looks resembling that of Tom’s even though they are not related. Billy has recently appeared on the scene as Amy’s son whom she gave up for adoption before she met Tom. Billy has just tracked her down. Billy is a very independent person.
Jester-
When speaking to Tom on the phone Jester’s voice is similar to that of ‘Ghostface’ from the ‘Scream’ series as well as the person on the phone in ‘Phone booth’. Jester’s voice is husky and sounds perverted. He often speaks in a mocking voice as if he is greater than the people he is talking to. Jester also laughs in a deep hum or a manic chuckle.
Malice Gardens + Ann Howard-
Malice is a young beautiful detective full of anger and locked away fury. She seems weighted down by a dark past. She stands and carries herself in an arrogant manor. Ann is in her mid thirties and seems tired of life. She is a calm person and rarely loses her temper. She looks older than she is and is not very attractive.
Story 1
Scene 1/ winter Forest/ not long after midnight
Light snow is falling on a frozen ground. Leaves crush over foot as rough looking Amy Williams stumbles deeper into the forest. Her clothes are torn and blooded. She looks tired and scared. She pushes on through the forest. The forest branches are bare and moonlight seeps through them menacingly. Every now and then a firework explodes up above briefly lighting up the dark path that Amy is stumbling in.
The branches snatch at her feeble clothes ripping them and cutting her cold pale skin. The clothes are practically falling off of Amy. As one branch scratches at her, Amy screams and turns. As she turns her foot catches in a branch lying across the floor and she trips. Amy tumbles down a hill side. She reaches the bottom and lays there for a moment finally she pulls herself up. She is not even more blooded and beaten.
Amy slowly stumbles off again.
Story 2
Scene 1/ William’s house/ early morning
[/b]
Close out of focus shot of the alarm clock. Hazy, kind of like a dream.
Close up of an eye flickering open slowly. When it finally opens the iris enlarges as it gets used to the morning light.
The camera focuses on the background and we see a man awaken by the alarm. He is lying in bed and slowly pulls himself out. The camera is careful not to show his face.
We see a foreground close-up of a toothpaste bottle cap which is open. A hand picks it up out of the background and moments later, puts it back. The cap is still open.
We see a close-up of a tap running.
We see a close-up of a sink being filled with soapy water. Suddenly the radio starts to play a song over the following shots.
We see a close-up of a towel rack. A towel is suddenly pulled off.
We see a close-up of a shower plug. Suddenly the shower is turned on and we see feet enter the shower. Shot of the water running down the plughole.
We see a close-up of the towel rack again. This time the towel is thrown on it and not hung up properly.
We see a focused close-up of a washing basket full of dirty clothes. The background comes into focus and we see an indistinguishable image of a naked male person with there backs to us pull out clothes from a wardrobe.
Close up of the man’s clothes as he throws them onto the bed.
The man gets dressed and exits his bedroom. He walks down a long corridor and descends a long flight of stairs. He finally reaches the bottom and turns left into another long corridor. The low hum of voices reach him has he enters a large kitchen.
Tom Williams’ wife, Amy Williams has her back to Tom as she washes up. Tom’s youngest of 11 years is sitting on a stood by the counter eating her breakfast and talking away eagerly. She notices her dad. Gilly; Happy Christmas dad!
Tom smiles glumly and turns to look at a set of double-doors which show another room (front room) with a huge Christmas tree sitting majestically in the corner. Tom; Gilly, go see if your sister is ready please.
Gilly; but I’m eating!
Tom; I don’t care. If your sister isn’t here in a few minutes then Christmas is cancelled.
Gilly; but its Christmas day! A bit late to cancel Christmas.
Amy suddenly speaks from over the other side of the room.Amy; she’s a bit old for that, isn’t she Tom?
Amy slowly turns to face her husband. She regards him with a cold stare. Tom glares back levelly. Tom doesn’t take his eyes of Amy as he speaks the next lines. Tom; Gilly, get Jess now.
Gilly sighs and walks out, muttering something about injustice as she leaves. Tom slowly takes Gilly’s place at the table and begins to eat her breakfast. Tom; this was your idea.
Amy, who had gone back to washing, turns slowly to face him. Amy; excuse me?
Tom; Christmas here. I wanted to go away for Christmas.
Amy; Tom, Christmas is about family.
Tom; was that your attempt at a joke?
Tom slowly gets up and walks over to Amy. He gets close to her face and leans towards her ear. Tom (
whispered); if this all goes wrong then you will be cleaning up the mess.
Amy (
whispered back spitefully); you mean if playing happy families with Billy and your kids doesn’t go well? I can assure you Tom-
Tom cuts her off with a finger over her lips as Gilly bounces back in dragging Jess by the arm. Jess is the eldest daughter of 15 years, she looks like she will soon turn into a beautiful young lady but has a sour look to her. Jess; can we do presents first?
Tom; no, not until tonight.
Gilly goes to take her place back at the table but Tom hushes her away and continues eating her breakfast. Jess; why?!
Tom goes to answer but Amy beats him to it. Amy; Because your father wants to bore us with another annual visit to the graveyard.
Tom; well like you said Amy; Christmas is a time for family.
Jess (
moody); you don’t have to take us with you. Its not are fault that most of your family is dead.
Tom; If you ever talk to me with that attitude in your voice again, I swear to God I will turn your face pink! And for that you can wave your present’s goodbye!
Jess; good, I don’t think I could do with another stripped jumper this year!
Tom pauses angry, thinks then continues.Tom; I’ll tell you what everybody! Christmas is f*cked! That’s right! You getting this Gilly? When Miss Board asks you what happened your Christmas day, you tell her it was f*cked!
Silence falls on the room. Suddenly Jess storms out and reappears with a present in hand. She throws it at her bad; spilling milk on his shirt. Tom looks up furious. Jess; happy Christmas you arse!
Jess storms away. Tom stands up in a rage. Tom; I need a new shirt! That little b*tch is out of control!
Tom storms out. Amy shakes her head in disapprovingly and in disappointment. Gilly is looking around with a sad confused face. Amy looks at the present that was thrown and notices the mess it has made. Amy looks back at Gilly and notices that she is struggling with tears. Amy slowly approaches Gilly and lowers herself to her level. Amy; Gilly, dry those tears. Don’t forget that you’re a Williams.
Gilly (
through tears); Why does he hate Christmas?
Amy; some bad things happened for him when he was young and it was Christmas. But we all know what your dad is like in the mornings.
Gilly smiles through her tears. Amy; that’s a good girl. Now go and get ready.
Gilly nods and darts off. Amy signs and mutters to herself. Amy; Smooth Tom.
Scene 2/ Graveyard/ midday The Williams family pull up in a car and they all exit. Amy looks around nervously. She thinks that she can see a mysterious someone watching them in the distance but as soon as she makes eye contact with the person they briskly turn away. Tom; do you have the flowers?
Jess moodily passes Tom the flowers. Tom takes them without an other word. The family stop as Tom walks ahead. Amy and the kids leave Tom to walk up to the grave by himself. Tom reaches the gravestone and bends down to it. He notices a fresh batch of flowers on the grave which confuses him. He shakes his head and lays down his flowers. Tom; who gave these to you mum? Never mind, probably a mistake. Happy Christmas mum. Everyone is doing well. Gilly is doing very well on the piano and I think she has some New Year concert or something like that coming up. Jess has turned into a mouthy little cow within the year. I blame that school of hers. It’s gone so far down hill since I was there. We were considering getting her home tutored but it’s a bit late for Jess. (
musing) Maybe Gilly... Away I suppose the biggest news would be that Amy has a son! No not mine, some lad she gave up for adoption has found her. His been living near us for a few mouths now. Amy and him are a little to close for my likings. Anyway I better go, love you loads.
Tom backs away. Smiles sadly to the grave then turns and walks back to his family. Tom notes that Gilly is missing. Before he can ask; Amy gestures to a nearby gravestone where Gilly is trying to read the inscription. Gilly (
shouted); it’s not granddads! I’ll try the next row down!
Tom suddenly looks angry. Tom; get here now!
Gilly jumps and runs back to Tom and Amy. Tom turns away and briskly storms back to the car. Jess glances at a sullen Gilly and gives her a wink. Amy is the last to follow Tom. A small smile plays on her lips as she watches Tom storm back the car.
Amy turns to Gilly who is pulling at her sleeve. Amy turns to see that Jess has suddenly stopped. Amy sighs and walks up to her.Amy (
whispered softy); I’ll take you to your mother’s grave later today. I promise.
Jess suddenly looks up to Amy as if just noticing that she is there. Jess; I don’t like graveyards so you can go and shove that offer.
Amy; Jess I-
Jess storms off leaving Amy looking helpless. Scene 3/ Montage/ All dayMusic; Peace on Earth/ Little Drummer Boy*Note; The natural sounds of these scenes, i.e. the laugher of the children, is muffled as the music plays.*We see a series of shots showing the rest of the family day.
The family visits the park and the kids chase each other around. The air is blue with winter and the grass of the park has a soft layer of frost over it.
The family is sitting on a bench. Close up of Tom’s face, looking thoughtful, as a cloud passes overhead casting a shadow over his face.
Shot of the family running to the car as it begins to pour down rain. By this point it is getting dark.
Shot of the family sitting in there front room opening presents and laughing. Jess tries to look surprised as she opens a present to reveal a very unfashionable handbag. Music stopsMontage stops. Amy (
happily); your dad chose that one out!
Jess looks to her dad who smiles proudly at her thinking he has chosen a fashionable handbag. Jess gives him an awkward smile before turning back to her presents. Gilly suddenly runs up to her dad and throws her arms around him. Tom spills wine on himself due to her hug. Tom; f*ck sake!
Gilly pulls away and begins to apologies. Tom waves it away but is obviously pissed. Amy looks at Tom and smiles reassuringly at him. He rolls his eyes but carries on in a happy mood.
Sudden cut to a dark dangerous looking storm charging across the sky.Scene 4/ bedroom/ late night Amy and Tom are in bed. Outside a storm batters the windows. Amy is lying away. She is facing away from Tom. She suddenly gets up and goes into the bathroom. When she gets into there she closes the door behind her. The room is dark and Amy doesn’t bother putting the light on. She slowly holds her stomach and begins to cry. She gradually sinks to the floor. Lighting flashes outside lighting the room briefly.
The camera pans away through the kitchen window and out into the rain. Story 1Scene 2/ Winter Forest/ not long after midnight Amy is still running. She stops a moment by a tree to regain her breath. She pants heavily as she looks down at her blooded knees. A firework unexpectedly explodes overhead causing Amy to jump. She looses her balance and falls into a pit covered in brambles. Amy screams horrifically as the brambles cut her. She falls into the pit which is half covered by the trunk of a tree.
Amy tries to pull herself out but the brambles cut at her hands. Amy realises that she needs to get through the brambles. Amy begins to sob as another firework explodes overhead lighting up the pit revealing that behind Amy is another twisted pit of brambles and thorns. Story 2Scene 5/ Front room/ mid morning (26th/ Boxing day)Tom sitting alone in the front room reading a newspaper. The room is peaceful and quiet. He throws the newspaper down in the table. The camera gets a brief glimpse of the front cover revealing that a body of a local man was found dead down an alley. Tom then picks up another paper and begins to read whilst sipping tea. Unexpectedly the door bursts open and Gilly comes running in screaming loudly. Gilly; She threw something at my head!
Tom; for the love of Christ! Do you really need me?! Where is Amy?
Gilly; she is in bed because she doesn’t feel very well. But it really hurts dad!
Tom; where is the little cow?!
Tom jumps up and tears out of the room. The charges up the stairs. And then another flight of stairs, and then another and then another. The camera highlights the huge amount of stairs that is in the house. Tom continues up the stairs.
Scene cuts to Jess in her room on the phone. Jess; Yeah I know but I need to be in this shit hole.
Pause as the voice on the other end of the phone speaks. Jess; I love you too but I can’t get away.
Pause.Jess; I know, he’s doing my head in too but he is my dad-
Suddenly the door is thrown open and Tom comes striding in. Jess; dad?! What you doing?!
Tom; hang up the phone!
Jess; its only Sarah! She was helping with my homework!
Tom; I don’t care now (
shouting) hang up!
Jess hurriedly cuts off the phone. Tom; Right, what did you do to your sister?!
Jess; I aint done nothing!
Tom (
disgusted, mocking); you ‘aint done nothing’?! YOU ‘AINT DONE NOTHING’?!
Tom screams in anger. Jess suddenly frightened rushes to the other side of the bed away from Tom. Jess; what have I done?!
Tom dives forward and slaps Jess hard across the face. Jess is suddenly stunned for words. She looks at her father with her mouth open and her check reddened. Even Gilly who is now at the door, peering in, looks shocked. Tom; when you stop speaking like a dog that has been shat out of a aids infested trailer trash rat; I’ll treat you with some respect. Now secondly you never hit your sister! Understand?!
Jess is silent for some time. Finally she speaks.Jess; I f'n hate you.
Tom; did you just swear?!
Chaos breaks out in the room as Tom dives again for Jess. Amy runs into the room and drags Tom outside. Jess grabs her chance and slams the door and locks it. Tom on the outside turns to Amy. Tom; great! How am I meant to deal with her if you interfere?!
Amy (
shouting angrily); so its o.k. when you don’t want to be daddy and I have to discipline but now you want to be the man, is that it Tom?! But is it man to beat a 16 year old girl?
Tom; when you sort your own son out then you can tell me how to do mine!
Amy; I do sort out yours! And my son has been nothing but kind to you. He has done nothing but help you!
Tom; Leave me alone Amy before I do something I regret.
Amy; Oh please do Tom. It’ll give me a reason-
Tom; to do what? What can you do Amy? You are living in my house with my money, now piss off!
Amy; I am not your mother Tom. I will not cower when you shout at me!
Tom suddenly slaps Amy hard around the face. Amy is thrown to the ground in shock. Tom looks down at her and instantly regrets hitting her.Tom; Amy-
Tom cuts off not knowing what to say. Amy gets up and composes herself. She looks at Tom and smiles sweetly but with hatred in her eyes.Amy; what Tom? Is there something wrong?
Amy flashes him one of her beautifully deadly smiles, turns and walks away. In fury Tom slams himself into his daughter’s door. The wood begins to crack. Tom notices and curses. He turns away and begins to descend the stairs.
When he gets to the bottom he passes the kitchen. Amy is in there helping Gilly make cakes. When Gilly and Amy see Tom pass the doorway they go quiet. Tom walks past swiftly and enters a side room. The room is a small dinner room with a view of the garden. Tom sits down and rubs his temples. Suddenly echo’s of noise pass through his head. Tom realises that he needs to get out of the house.
Shot of Tom leaving a silently as possible by a back door. Scene 6/ William’s house/ afternoonAmy is sitting in the kitchen biting her nails worryingly. Suddenly there is a knock. She looks up. Amy; its open.
There is a creak as the door opens. Amy; I’m in the kitchen.
There is a slight pause as the person who has entered the house navigates themselves to the kitchen. Billy Mc’neil enters the kitchen.Amy; thanks for coming Billy.
Billy; any time. Sorry I couldn’t be here yesterday. I had to sort something urgent out.
Amy; oh never mind about that.
Billy; where are the kids?
Amy; about.
Billy; and Tom?
Amy; Billy, that’s the problem. I don’t know where he is.
Amy looks at Billy worryingly. Amy; what if he-
Billy; Amy please. Have you rang him?
Amy; of course. About 20 times now.
Billy; have you rung his friends?
Amy; Tom doesn’t have any friends, only acquaintances.
Billy; and have you rang them?
Amy; only the ones I know. They haven’t heard from him since Christmas.
Billy; well then we wait.
Amy; thanks again for coming Billy.
Billy; well you done me a favour by accepting me in your life Amy.
Amy (
hesitatingly); Billy, are you sure he-
Billy; don’t talk about it Amy. Just relax.
Amy looks away worryingly. Scene 7/ small town neighbourhood/ late afternoonTom Williams pulls up outside a house with lights lit up. He gets out the car and walks up the pathway. He knocks at the door. A young woman named Maggie in her early 20’s answers. When she realises that it is Tom she suddenly looks alarmed. Maggie (
whispered urgently); what are you doing you fool?!
Tom; I just needed to see you.
Maggie; and get your head kicked in?! My husband is in here!
Tom; I don’t care! Get him out here and I’ll tell him myself.
Maggie; don’t be so stupid!
Suddenly a tall handsome man appears in the background. He walks up to the door.Husband; who is it honey?
Maggie; it’s just a friend.
Tom swallows as he loses his nerve.Tom; sorry to disturb you. I’m Maggie’s and due to power cuts I can’t access some very important files on my patients. Maggie has backups so I really needed them urgently. Do you think you could be them Maggie?
Maggie (
relieved); sure.
Maggie pauses uncertain whether or not to leave Tom and her husband alone but she finally leaves to get the back up.
Awkward pause. Husband; so your doctor Williams then? I always imagined you taller.
Tom smiles tightly. Tom; I get that a lot.
Husband; so is she a good worker?
Tom; oh, yes, yes. The best I could ask for.
Husband; maybe you could come around for dinner sometime.
Tom; why I would love to.
Husband; yeah?
Tom; yes defiantly.
Maggie suddenly reappears with several discs. She gives them to Tom. Maggie; they’re on here doctor.
Tom; thank you Maggie. Nice to meet you. (
Tom shakes the husband’s hand) You two have a good night.
Tom smiles friendly at them and turns and walks away. As he turns his smile disappears. He mutters curses under his breath as he enters the car and drives away. Tom; f'n wanker. (
Putting on a mock accent) ‘Maybe you could come for dinner’, unlikely, you mug.
Scene 8/ Outside the Williams family manor/ early night Tom is sitting in his car looking depressed. He gets out a black and white picture of a young woman. The picture looks like it was from the 50’s. Tom kisses the picture and puts it back in his pocketTom (
to self); Happy Christmas.
He finally sighs and gets out. Scene 9/ William’s house/ a few minutes laterTom enters the house and walks into the dinning room where he can hear noise. Gilly, Jess and Amy are all sitting around a table where plates have been laid out. They are talking as Billy enters carrying a roast turkey. They all look up when he enters. Amy; and where have you been?
Tom; I had an emergency with a patient. Is there enough food for me?
Scene 10/ Dinning room/ a few minutes laterMontage*Music* White ChristmasShots showing knife’s being cut into meat violently.
Then shots of a folk being squished into mash potatoes.
Shot of the Turkey bird in the middle of a table with a carving knife sticking out of it.
End montage.End music. Tom is sitting at the head of the table on one end and Amy is sitting opposite him on the other side. On the left Gilly and Jess are sitting together and on the other side is Billy.
Everyone is eating silently. Amy; so Billy, tell us about working along side Tom.
Tom; I don’t think we need to talk about work at the dinner table.
Billy; no its o.k. Tom. Kids, Amy; Tom is a pleasure to work with.
Tom and Billy make eye contact. Billy gives Tom a secret smile. Tom; why thank you Billy. Amy this turkey is lovely.
Billy; Tom is very friendly to everyone. Not just me. Tom encourages his employees to be friendly back.
Tom; Thank you Billy, Gilly what do you think of the turkey.
Gilly; I like it dad.
Billy; Gilly what do you think of your dad’s work? He’s important isn’t he?
Tom goes to reply for her but Amy cuts curtly in. Amy; no more talk of work. Let’s just forget work. It is Christmas after all.
Billy; In that case I propose a toast to Christmas.
Amy; cheers!
Gilly: Cheers!
Jess; Cheers.
Everyone save Tom raises their glasses in toast. Tom (
muttered after everyone else); cheers…
Amy; so Gilly what did you get from Father Christmas.
Gilly; well I got a lot from you, dad and Billy. But nothing from Mr Claus.
Jess; that is because he is fake Gilly. ‘Mr Claus’ is a load of bull-
Amy; You stop right there young lady!
Jess; you can’t tell me what to do! You’re not my mother!
Amy; how dare you!
Billy; Jess-
Jess; and you are not my brother despite your poor attempts at being one so you can stay out of it.
Amy; Tom? A little help please? She is your daughter.
Tom who had been silently eating his dinner looks up slowly. He sighs. Tom; Jess shut your nasty spiteful gob before I do it for you!
Jess; go on then! I don’t get what you’re complaining about! ‘I’m a Williams’ you tell me! Well as far as I tell that involves sucking up to people to there face and b*tching behind their backs! Isn’t that right dad?!
Tom angrily moves his dinner aside. Everyone suddenly freezes. Tom jumps up and nastily grabs Jess by the arm. He drags her to the double-doors leading to the hallway. He throws them open and slings Jess out. Tom; Get out of this house you f'n little b*tch! I’m your f'n father! Ever speak to me like that again and I will beat you until you bleed! Understand me?!
Jess nods feebly.Tom; good!
Tom slams the double doors shut on Jess. He takes deep breaths and slowly turns back to everyone at the dinner table. All eyes are on him. Tom unhurriedly takes his place back at the head of the table and begins to eat again. One by one everyone follows his lead. Amy finally breaks the silence. Amy; you didn’t need to threaten her.
Tom stops and puts his fork and knife down. He dabs his mouth with a napkin. Tom (
calmly); If you hadn’t asked such a stupid question then none of that would have happened.
Amy; some how I thought that I would be blamed.
Tom; I’m not blaming you. Now let’s not waste the food. Eat up everyone.
Everyone resumes eating. After a short silent period thinking that in Tom’s next outburst he might blame her Gilly murmurs softly;Gilly (
murmured); I don’t believe in Father Christmas anyway…
Scene 11/ entrance Hall/ half an hour laterTom and Amy are seeing Billy out of the house.
Tom and Amy wave fondly from the door. As soon as the door closes Tom’s fake smile disappears.Tom; thank god he is gone, I told you it would be a disaster
Amy; it was your kids that messed it up!
Tom; your son was baiting me all night.
Amy; he did nothing but praise you!
Tom; he was mocking me!
Amy; Tom it is just your imagination.
Tom; Amy your son, and don’t forget that he is your son, was desperate for me to rise to his bait.
Amy (
accusing); what do you mean ‘don’t forget he is your son’?
Tom; you remember the conversation we had before.
Amy; yes I do and he is out of the house now. He isn’t living with us. It was his choice to find a place near us.
Tom; well when you can’t handle him calling you mummy anymore don’t come and tell me because I warned you.
Amy; he doesn’t call me mum! What is your problem with him?!
Tom; he has an attitude! He is smug!
Amy; so basically everything you are?
Tom; don’t you dare try and turn this around on me!
Amy (
giving up); lets forget it. I’m tired.
Amy turns and walks away before Tom can reply.
She descends the stairs tiredly. When she gets to the first landing she looks upwards and the winding staircase which goes up a further three floors. Amy (
Muttered); I hate this bloody mansion…
Story 1Scene 3/ Winter Forest/ Not long after midnight Amy pulls herself across the ground as the thorns cut at her skin. She has managed to pull herself out of the pit and through the brambles. She finally stands up and painfully pulls thorns out of her skin. Amy winches in pain.
Amy’s clothes are now so badly torn that they are falling to the ground and she has to hold them up against her. Her breasts are revealed. Her nipples are hard and blue due to the coldness of winter. Snow lies gently on her shoulders as Amy lets her tattered clothes fall to the ground. The camera is behind Amy as the clothes fall.
Amy slowly walks into the snow which is pouring down in front of her. All we can see is her naked back and smooth pale arse. As the camera moves with Amy we realise that she is heading for a small shabby looking shed which is a few metres in front of her. The snow begins to fall heavier covering Amy’s nakedness.
Amy pulls the door of the shed open gently and slips in.
As the camera pulls away we glimpse a shadow of a person move inside…Story 2Scene 12/ Williams family manor/ mid next morning (27th) Gilly and Jess are standing by the doorway waiting to go out. Suddenly they hear a bib from outside.Gilly; yay! Billy is here!
Jess; took him long enough.
Amy appears from a doorway and walks up to them. Amy; o.k. now. I want you to me polite and don’t forget your manners. Billy has offered to take you girls out shopping.
Jess (
sarcastic); oh woopy.
Amy ignores her. Amy; right go on then. I’ll see you girls tonight. Bye!
Gilly and Jess leave. Amy watches them go. Finally she turns and walks into the kitchen. Tom is sitting in there reading a paper. Tom; gone?
Amy; yes.
Amy starts to clean.Tom; wait here a second.
Tom gets up and walks out. Amy (
muttered); where else am I going to go?
Tom reappears several minutes later. He is carrying a small mobile phone. Amy; whose is that?
Tom; Jess’s. I’m finally going to see what she has been up too.
Amy; Oh Tom, you can’t do that!
Amy moves over to Tom and tries to snatch it away from him. He moves his arm and Amy falls forward. She catches herself on the wall. Tom laughs. After a short pause Amy joins him. Tom; Hurt did it?
Amy; not as much as this.
Amy punches Tom.
He pulls forward towards her laughing. They fall into each other and have a rare happy moment. Amy finally cuts off laughing as she realizes how close she is to Tom. Tom’s laugher slowly dies away as well as he leans in for a kiss. Amy; Tom-
He cuts her off by pressing his lips onto hers. Amy tries to pulls away but Tom holds her in place as she kisses her violently.
We see a shot of Tom’s hand sliding down Amy’s leg and up her skirt.
We see a shot of Amy’s face. She doesn’t look like she is enjoying herself.
Tom’s other hand moves to his flies which he pulls down as his other hand continues to rub between Amy’s legs. Finally he stops kissing her and pushes her to the ground. Amy; Tom, I’m not really in the mood.
Tom pulls his shirt over his head and bends on top of her. He rips open her shirt. Amy has only a bra on underneath. She has a slim petite figure. Her skin is very pale. Tom traces his finger down her body whilst his other hand removes her bra revealing small breasts. Her nipples are hard due to the coldness of the floor. Her nipples blush pink and are small. Tom’s hands move in circles around her breasts as he gropes them. They slide into his hands perfectly. Tom leans down and begins to suck one nipple as his other hand leaves her boob and hitches up her skirt. Tom pulls away, adjusts Amy’s legs and then places himself between them. Amy’s hitched up skirt covers what he is doing as Tom pulls his penis free and enters Amy with a look of pleasure on his face.
Shot of Amy still not happy.
Now that he is inside of her Tom bends down and kisses her around the neck as his thighs begin to move himself in and out of her. Tom quickens and aggressively pushes Amy’s face to the side so he can bite her ear.
The camera shows an above view of Tom screwing Amy.

CutScene 13/ Bathroom/ a few minutes laterAmy and Tom are in the bathroom. Amy is showering. The foggy glass covers her nakedness but we can still clearly see her beautiful figure. Tom is peeing in the toilet with his back to the camera. Suddenly the tap turns off and Amy pokes her head around the door. Tom looks at her.Tom; you clean?
Amy; of course I am.
Tom; I mean… did, erm… did-
Amy; yes Tom. I cleaned out my vagina. All your little busy sperm are gone.
Tom turns away slightly embarrassed. Tom; we didn’t use the tablet.
Amy; well get one from your office.
Tom; But I can’t break into my own supplies!
Amy; oh grow up Tom. Could you pass me a towel?
Tom throws a towel to Amy but it falls short of her reach. Amy sighs and pulls back the shower glass revealing her naked body, and bends to get the towel. She has a small bush covering up her vagina. As she picks it up she also flicks water at Tom and laughs. Tom recoils as the water wets his shirt. Tom; thanks a f'n lot Amy!
Amy’s smile suddenly dies as she realizes that one of the rare moments when Tom and she get along has ended.Amy; I-
Tom; don’t bother.
Tom goes to walk away but he suddenly stops and turns to face Amy. Tom; Hurry up and put some clothes on. I don’t want a wife of mine looking like a slut.
Tom walks out living Amy to look at her naked body glumly. Scene 14/ Downstairs kitchen/ a few minutes laterTom enters breathing heavily and red in the face. Tom (
to self); we need a downstairs bathroom urgently. Those stairs are killing me…
Tom walks over to the counter. Suddenly Jess’s phone, which had been left on the side and forgotten about, begins to beep. Jess has a text message. Tom picks up the phone and reads the message. The camera shows the message as saying;Txt Message; meet me @ 12 in twn, hghstreet carpark. Lov, Lorenzo X X.

He notices that there is a dangerous young man standing in the corner of the carpark wearing a hoodie. Tom pulls up violently and gets out. He looks around hoping that there is someone else in the carpark other than him and the dangerous looking man. Tom curses as he realizes that this is the person is the one who wanted to see Jess. Tom approaches gingerly. As he gets nearer he sees under the man’s hood and realizes that it is only a kid. Tom sighs and approaches. Tom; hello there.
Lorenzo; who me?
Tom; yes you. You might recognize my name.
Lorenzo; yeah?
Tom; ‘yeah’. Williams.
Lorenzo looks suddenly confused. As realization stretches across his face he makes a run for it. Tom gives chase and easily catches up. He pins Lorenzo to the wall. Lorenzo; get off! I swear down I aint done nothin’!
Tom (
mocking); kids these days. If you ever touch my daughter again Lorenzo, I will personally ‘f*ck you up’. Isn’t that speaking your language?
Lorenzo; f*ck off me!
Suddenly there is a shout. Tom looks behind him to see a man approaching thinking that Tom is bullying the kid. As Tom is distracted Lorenzo swings and knocks Tom to the ground. Lorenzo pulls out a knife. Tom looks up mortified. Tom; please don’t hurt me! I can pay!
Lorenzo laughs and spits on Tom.Lorenzo; f*ckin’ poof.
Lorenzo runs away as the man who shouted out before reaches them. Man; sorry about that mate. I thought you were hurting the boy.
Tom pulls himself up. Tom; I should have killed the bastard. You interrupted me.
Tom storms off and pushes past the man. Scene 16/ William’s manor/ later that dayTom is sitting quietly sipping tea. Jess enters.
Jess; Amy said you wanted to see me?
Tom; yes. You and Lorenzo won’t be seeing each other again.
Jess (
in shock); What?! How-
Tom; ‘How’ doesn’t matter. I had a word with him and he will be staying away from you.
Jess (
muttered quietly); I hate you.
Tom; I love you too sweetheart. Goodnight.
Jess storms off. Tom looks smug. Story 1Scene 4/ Shed/ not long after midnight Amy enters the old shed. Old forgotten items line the walls. Heavy layers of dust cover everything. The shed looks like it has been untouched for some time. Rust is thick on some of the items. Amy looks around and notices a long leather overcoat. She moves towards it covering her breasts with her hands but suddenly a movement catches her attention. Amy drops to the ground a she realises that someone else is in the shed.
Amy is hiding behind a work counter which has dusty old tools on its surface. There is a piece of broken glass on the floor. Amy looks into it. The reflection shows someone standing by the far end with its back to Amy; it is dressed in a long black overcoat and hood. It has a mask on similar to Jesters. Its hands slowly rise to its head and pulls of its mask. The reflection in the glass doesn’t give enough room to show who is beneath the mask.
Its hands move towards its arm where it pulls out a long nail which has embedded itself in the persons arm. With a low grunt the person pulls the nail out.
Amy leans forward to get a better look. Her breath is heavy. Suddenly her hands let a puff of dust rise from the floor and up to her nose. Amy goes to sneeze. She tries desperately to hold it in. Amy pulls back and presses herself against the wall of the counter trying to hold her sneeze in. Her hands reach up to her nose desperately.
The person is now slowly putting its mask back on. It flexes its neck with a click.
Suddenly Amy sneezes.
The person twists around in alarm suddenly alert. The person makes its way briskly to where Amy is hiding.
Shot of Amy’s face in panic. Story 2Scene 17/ William’s entrance hallway/ early the next morning (28th)We see a shot of Jess sneaking out of the front door and carefully shutting it behind her. Scene 18/ Kids park/ an hour laterJess enters the empty park and walks up to the only other person in it. Lorenzo is sitting underneath a slide. The park is all frosty. Every breath is misted. Jess; I heard what my dad done.
Lorenzo; what your dad done? I almost killed him.
Jess; what?
Lorenzo; I had the little faggit on the floor.
Jess; oh.
Jess slowly sits down next to him. Jess; just to be safe I don’t think we should see each other until school starts.
Lorenzo; in that case…
Lorenzo reaches over and touches Jess breast. She pulls away but he snatches at her arm.Jess; Lorenzo! What are you doing?! Get off me!
Lorenzo; I have been waitin’ for too long b*tch!
Jess; people warned me about you!
Lorenzo pulls her close to his face.Lorenzo; what did they say?! That he is the son of a f*ckin’ alcoholic wife beating dad?! Is that what they said?!
Jess; No! please!
Jess thrashes but Lorenzo holds her still. His other hand tries to shove itself in-between her clamped legs. Jess suddenly spits in his face. Lorenzo lets go and screams in rage. Jess rolls out underneath the slide and runs off. Lorenzo can be heard screaming behind her. Lorenzo; I’ll f*ckin’ kill you whole family!
Jess continues to run with tears streaming down her face.Scene 19/ William’s family kitchen/ midday Tom is sitting alone staring into space. In the background we can see through an open door Gilly playing a grand piano. Amy suddenly bursts into the kitchen. Amy; Alex hasn’t see her either!
Tom; f'n cow! She better run when we finally find her.
Amy; for got sake Tom! She probably run because of you always threatening her!
Tom; I give it a rest.
Suddenly Tom’s phone goes off. He answers. Tom; hello?

on the other end of the phone); Dad please help me…

They both laugh. Jess; I’m sorry dad.
Tom; me too.

The person looks around. We see a shot of Amy in her new hiding place breathing heavily. The person slowly begins to circle the shed with slow steps. Amy hears those steps and realises that the person will soon come across her. She squeezes her eyes tight.
Suddenly the door bangs open. The person jumps and without thought it makes its way outside.
There is silence. Amy slowly opens her eyes and looks around. She comes out of her hiding place and looks around. The person has gone. Amy signs with relief. She hurriedly grabs the long leather dusty overcoat and throws it around her naked body.
Amy makes her was to the doorway. She realises that the wind must have banged open the door and that the person is probably following Amy’s footsteps back to the pit.

Tom; I’m sure I saw him staring at the house a few days ago.
Amy; but this is an old backwater country road. The next house is a few miles up. People don’t just wonder down here for the sights.
Police man; I understand that. It was probably an attempt at burglary.
Tom; so what happens now?
Police man; we take him in and hold him until you decide what you want us to do with him.
Tom; I want the bastard put away!
Amy; my husband is a little hot headed at the moment. Go in Tom and calm down.
Tom (
angry); don’t you tell me what to do!
Nevertheless Tom walks back into the house. Amy; he has been a little stressed and pressured lately.
Police man; I understand. Christmas can be a tough time for families.
Amy; yes it can. He goes a little crazy at Christmas as some bad things happened to his family at Christmas time. I know he doesn’t mean to hit me-
Police man; what? He hits you? You know I could do something about that.
Amy; Oh no! I didn’t mean… Please excuse me. It came out wrong. He loves his kids and he loves me. He just gets very ‘unhinged’ at Christmas.

Maggie smiles secretively. Maggie; any time, (
seductively) sir.
Tom smiles at her dirtily. Maggie walks around his desk. She gets down on her hands and knees in between his legs. Tom looks down on her with a smile. She looks back up at him and bites her lip as her hand slowly rubs up his thigh. Maggie (
Seductively); my husband is out of town again tonight.
Tom; I’ll be there.
Maggie smiles self satisfactory. She then gets up and walks away. Tom watches her go mystified.
Time passes as Tom looks through the files. Suddenly his door opens and Billy enters. Billy; Tom, you wanted to see me?

Billy; excuse me?
Tom (
snide, mocking); you’re excused.
Billy; Tom, what makes you so sure that I’m not going to go running to my mother and tell her of your little office slut?
Tom; for a reason you just strengthened. Amy doesn’t want you around calling her ‘mommy’. She gave you up for a reason Billy. Now she is soon going to tell you to pack your bags and leave. If you tell her, all Amy is going to see is a bitter young man desperately trying to break up her relationship with her husband with vicious lies. Do you want to be that boy, Billy?
Billy; you’re so sure of yourself Tom aren’t you?
Tom; I suggest that you pack your bags and leave this town.
Billy; I’ll consider.
Billy smiles warmly and leaves. As he does he pushes over a pile of folders. Tom; Billy!
Tom scrabbles to pick the files up.Tom; Maggie! I need help!
Maggie enters and begins helping with picking up the folders. At the same time the office phone goes. Tom jumps up and irritably answers.Tom; Yes?
Amy; Tom it’s me Amy.
Tom; what is it? I don’t really have time for idol conversation.
Amy; well, I was just reminding you about Gilly’s concert at the school tonight.
Tom; oh-
Tom looks up and watches Maggie’s arse as she bends to pick up the folders. She leans behind her and smiles dirtily at him. Tom; look, I’m really swamped tonight. Tell Gilly I’m very sorry-
Amy; I should have expected this Tom! Be there tonight or a swear-
Tom hangs up the phone. Maggie; trouble?
Tom; wife.

Police man; hello there sir. It’s the officer from last night. I thought I would inform you that the person we arrested was bailed.
Tom; what?! By who?
Police man; we don’t know. Someone came into the station and paid his bail.
Tom; shit… thanks.
Police man; don’t mention-
Tom cuts the phone off. Tom walks up to the main desk and notices that Maggie isn’t there. He finds a note on her chair. He reads it aloud. Tom (
reading); Dear Tom. I received a phone call telling me that my husband was in an accident and is now in hospital. I am very sorry Tom but I need to be there. Thank you for understanding.
