The shadow walks silently, but quickly towards the Manor stopping inches before
arriving near the back steps. She looks up quietly sitting down on the grass.
Shadow - ...I'm here.
Cora: *tries to sleep, listening to Cami and Bhudo's soft steady breathing* .......
Cora: .......... I feel.. strange...
Cora: *gets up* Out... side...
Cora: *walks outside, standing on the patio* ...... footsteps?
Cora: *calling out* Helloo...? Is someone there??
The shadow is startled, turning her head sharply to the voice.
Shadow - Ahh...m-mother?
Cora: *gasping* Meryl!? MERYL?! Meryl is that you?!?!
Shadow - *shaking Y-yes...please, p-please stay away. I'm frightened *pauses* t-that I'll hurt you.
Cora: *takes a step forward, her arm outstretched and her voice trembling slightly* Oh no... no baby you could never hurt me... come here with me.... let's go inside...
Meryl - I can't. I'll hurt you. And...*painfully, tightens her hand* I-I'm not your baby.
Cami is, like Rudy is daddy's...I'm no ones baby.
Cami is, like Rudy is daddy's...I'm no ones baby.
Cora: Oh Meryl.. that is not true. That is not true at all! From the first moment I saw you, you were mine. You were my first baby... I would have stolen you from your father if I had the chance... and your father loves you very much Meryl... he is worried sick about you. Me too. We both want our baby back. Please come inside with me...
Meryl - *trying not to shout* I can't! I'm trapped! I'm chained! *stops herself* Please
understand! I watched it as it maimed father...I-I can't watch it hurt you too
Cora: *pained* Meryl... Meryl please come home to us... as soon.. as you can... I can hardly bear this anymore... please.. I miss you so much...
Meryl - I've made so many cry, Cora. Made people angry at each other...I
never wanted that. Lumi been through so much pain she doesn't believe in
people coming back and Daddy... *she stops herself from remembering
her scar* I can't come in. I'm not complete. It still hurts.
Cora: When Meryl? When can you come home to us..?
Meryl - When I'm complete...I'm a monster now...
A shadow slowly creeps up her starting at her feet. Meryl shakes
her head.
Cora: Your never a monster to me Meryl.. I've been leaving you things in that big tree.... have you been getting them? I will leave you something everyday I swear it.
The shadow slowly binds her hands and legs together.
Meryl - *calmly* I-I saw. I cannot use them in this form because I'm only half...
not fully...like a shadow.
A gasp falls from her lips, but she quickly quiets herself.
Meryl - I'll use them when I'm c-complete...
Cora: *tearfully* Meryl... I love you...
Meryl - I-I'm sorry. I only ever caused pain...
The shadow closes around her throat.
Meryl - Ahh.... *being to choke* please...s-save...wa--wait!....
Cora: No!! Meryl!! *starts to descend the steps* MERYL!!!
Meryl - love me, please... barrier...l-love you...please...
Meryl screams as a light pulls from behind her, forcing her to disappear completely.
Cora: MERYL NO!! Meryl..!! I love you... too... *starts to cry* we're going to figure out this barrier thing I promise!
