--Home Sweet Home-- Part 6
By Carnotaur3
34 INT. HOUSE – LIGHT
He and Gabby skipped in the house. The water splashing off the boots and onto the floor. They both smiled at each other.
GABBY
Off for a week.
DAN
Pop in a movie.
GABBY
You read my mind!
Dan went up the stairs.
DAN
I’ll set the VCR up in our room.
GABBY
I’ll get the movie.
She walked to the kitchen, passed the media room, and to the basement door.
Opening the door a wind blows through the air like a cold breeze.
35 INT. BASEMENT – DARK
The light was dimmed as she went down the steps to the basement. And when she finally reached the room she found it hard to breathe.
She gasped for air. Breathing in and out hardly, then, it was over. Just in a matter of seconds.
Gabby forgets about it and walks to the storage room where they have a box full of movies. She opens the door and looks into the box. She can’t see any good movie up at the top and decides to move up into the room to search around.
She moves up and shoves movies around to find a particular one. Then, she sees a box she hasn’t seen in a while. She decides to take a look at it.
Putting aside the movies, she takes down the mysterious box.
Opening up carefully, she finds something she hadn’t seen in a while.
A picture of her daughter, Jannie.
Her emotions overwhelm her. She immediately drops the picture in the box, gabs a video, and runs to the stairs that lead back up to the upper floor.
But before she could go up she heard a noise. It was a laughing voice. A child laughing voice.
She looked back terrified and saw that the crack under the door had movement behind it. A little girl’s feet.
GABBY
(Under her breath) No. No. No. No…
The doorknob starts to twist.
JANNIE
Mommy? Is that you?
Her mouth opens and she walks up the stairs slowly. And when the door finally opens she leaps back and starts running up the steps.
36 INT. UPPER FLOOR – DAY
She locked the door to the basement and was running to the staircase leading to the top floor when Dan stood in the way. He had heard her cries and was now trying to help her.
DAN
What’s wrong. What happened to you? Gabby, tell me what happened!
CUT TO:
37 INT. FRONT DOOR – DAY
Dan waves to Gabby as she left in her car. She was going to her mother’s for the weekend.
As the car left the driveway he began his work!
38 INT. DEN – DAY
On the phone, he was talking to a person who had records for the house.
DAN
Do you have anything that happen on the passed 10 years.
MAN (V.O.)
Hold one, would you.
CUT TO:
39 INT. WORKPLACE – DAY
The man shuffled through the files in the file cabinet.
CUT BACK TO:
40 INT. DEN – DAY
Dan gripped the phone. Tapping his fingers on the table, he heard the man come back on the phone.
MAN (V.O.)
Uh, I found some files on your house.
DAN
What I want is some articles on any bad events that might have happened in my house I the passed ten years.
MAN (V.O.)
Hmm… Ok hold up.
Dan waited a couple of seconds.
MAN (Cont’d) (V.O.)
Ok, there was a murder there in 1993. Very gruesome. He said in the article, “They made me do it!”.
DAN
What else?
MAN
New owner complains of ghosts talking to him in his sleep back in 1997, then in 1999 he gave away the house to a couple. His name was Jerold Ford. After that, no one saw him again. Then about a month ago the couple were found in a lake at…
DAN
Ok, that’s all I wanted to know.
MAN (V.O.)
Alright!
Dan hangs up the phone. We now
CUT TO:
41 INT. BASEMENT – DAY
Dan sets up the microphone and sticks in a tape.
DAN
Let’s here you talk, guys.
Pressing the record button, be walks swiftly back up the steps.
42 INT. STORAGE ROOM - DUSTY
Searching through a box of magazine articles, he came across one particular one that seem to be what he was looking for.
DAN
Gotcha!
The article was titled “House becomes creepy”.
He throws it aside for the time being.
42 INT. KITCHEN – DAY
The phone’s constant ringing entered Dan’s ear as he was going downstairs to check on the recorded tape. (This was from a scene not too long ago where he had set up a microphone)
He ran to the phone.
Thinking it was Gabby, he remarked:
DAN
Gabby!
A voice so creepy and un-human-like answered.
CREEPY VOICE
Is this Dan Henderson. Is this Danny boy!
Dan couldn’t mutter a word.
CREEPY VOICE (cont’d)
We miss you down here. Where the hot steams and it boils your insides to liquid. We miss you down here in hell!
DAN
What you want from us?
It took him forever to try to say it. He was having trouble with his breathing.
The phone beeped, showing that the voice was cut off.
Terrified he saw the door to the basement opened and immediately ran to it.
43 INT. BASEMENT – DAY
He ran down the steps fast, past the ping pong table, and to his $400 karaoke machine. He turned the mic off, then, rewinded the tape.
After this, he pressed play.
Suddenly, he heard all these really drawn out voices. Some not making a bit of since. Then, a voice came, like it was the devil.
VOICE
Don’t walk the path to heaven
Your life will end at seven.
Evil will take your life away
While your still alive, you’ll want stay.
Hard to make out, but he heard it loud and clear. It was a death threat and it was sure enough scaring the shit out of him.
We CUT TO:
3 DAYS LATER
44 EXT. DRIVEWAY – DAY
Gabby was back from her trip, and Dan was anxious at showing her all that was known.
Her legs were out first, when she leaped out of the driver side door.
She smiled at Dan as he walked to her.
DAN
Gabby, I must show you something.
45 INT. HOUSE – DAY
He held her hand as he directed her to the tape that was recorded. He rewinded it while he talked.
DAN
Gabby, they’re real. I know cause I’ve heard them. I have them recorded. I’ve found articles that show stuff has happened here before.
She sighed.
GABBY
You can’t make me give in that easy.
DAN
No, you must trust me. Listen!
He pressed play.
Where the voice was before, it did not pop up at all.
He waited a couple of more seconds. NO VOICE.
DAN
Hold on. No, this can’t be.
He went and took out a box where he had found the newspaper articles. The newspaper articles were not to be found.
He kept looking. It was hopeless. Something was HAPPENING.
Gabby took her hands and placed them around his cheeks.
GABBY
Dan, they’re not real. They’re your imagination. (Starts to cry) Your sick, honey.
DAN
I heard them! (Starts to cry as well)
Gabby let Dan cry on her shoulder.
GABBY
I know you heard them. You heard them in your mind. You need help, sweetie.
It was a moment of mixed emotions. Horrified and sad. Their most dramatic hour had begun.
GABBY (Cont’d)
Let’s talk more about this, ok?
DAN
Ok.
