Mare: Kindred of the Coldest Step Written and Created by Vember Judgement Issue 3: Untitled ------------- Pg1 (NOTE: All these panels are overlaying a splash shot of Jenny sleeping on the couch, Mee hovering over her while feeding from her dreams.) Panel 1: A shot of an open kitchen door. Outside of it are a few mares of various shapes and forms, creeping about the door to look in. Panel 2: A shot of Bianca’s hands holding a cup of noodles. The cup is about the size of a super coffee mug. Her hands shiver, mixing up the soup. Panel 3: A shot of Olando’s face as he sleeps. His face looks like shit. Panel 4: A quick shot of Richie and Princess’s lips blowing the smoke from their cigarettes. Pg2 Panel 1: A shot of everyone in the kitchen. Princess and Richie stand lovingly close to each other while smoking, leaning against the sink. Donna stands between Bianca and the still choked out Olando who's tied firmly to a chair, hostage style. Bianca sits opposite her father, sitting on a chair while looking at her cup of noodles. On the kitchen table Bianca and Olando are sitting at are the medical items used to treat her wounds. Also on the table are the Mare Shears, glowing slightly. Donna: (WordBalloon1) Surprised no police showed up after all that ruckus. Lucky we live up in the Styx. Princess (Puffing): (WB2) I guess... Richie (quietly): (WB3) Can’t believe you rushed a guy with a piece…My man… Panel 2: A shot of Princess waving his box of cigarettes (Djarum Blacks) in Bianca’s direction. Bianca looks to be in a daze. Princess: (WB1) You smoke? I have one left. Hope you like cloves. Bianca: (WB2) Gimme. Panel 3: A shot of Bianca coughing up a plume of cigarette smoke as Princess looks down at her affectionately. Bianca: Gack! Princess: Now that you’ve calmed down a bit, it's time fo you to tell us about your connection to Daniel. Panel 4: A shot of Bianca's hands slamming the cup of noodles hard on the table. It spills the soup and shudders the medical items on the table. Pg3 Panel 1: A frontal shot of Bianca with her legs crossed, leaning back and smoking normally. The look on her face is less dazed, and more like a hardened teen runaway. Something dark about her eyes… Bianca: (WB1) Fine. (WB2) But I gotta warn you, I don’t know how long my mind will allow me be this normal…It’s hard to maintain proper sanity after being who I've been for so long. Panel 2: A shot of Donna, Princess and Richie reacting to Bianca’s sudden attitude change. Princess: (WB1) ? Donna: (WB2) Finally, yo dumb ass’s ain’t act’n so crazy... Richie: (WB3) Word up. Panel 3: An angled side shot of an angry Bianca, looking more hardened. She points forward with her cigarette. Bianca: You guys wanna shut the fuck up so I can tell you about Daniel Owens or what? Panel 4: A slightly comical shot of Princess, Richie and Donna looking on with attention. Pg4 Panel 1: Another shot of Bianca taking another drag from the cigarette. This time she doesn’t cough it up. Panel 2: A facial shot of Bianca’s face lowered, her eyes bitter yet sad. Bianca: (WB1) Well…It all started with my papi 'playing' with me most of my childhood, up until I tuned 6 years old. (WB2) After the police found out what he was doing to me, I got sent to a foster home, under the care of the Valens. Richie and Donna's parents. Princess: (WB3) Yeah, I know all that already. Just tell us about- Bianca: (WB4) You interrupt me again, and I won't tell you anything! So shut up and let me talk. (Next few panels are coming from Bianca’s memories.) Panel 3: A heartwarming scene of Bianca and Mr. And Mrs. Valens sitting on a couch, with little Bianca looking quite happy. Sitting on the floor is 16yr old Donna, listening to a walkman, while 5yr old Richie is playing a video game (Think Sega Genesis). Bianca Caption: At first, I was very happy living with the Valens. I was doing good in school, making lots of friends in town…It was a great first year. But it all went to Hell the next year after they sent Donna and Richie to live with their uncle in NY… Panel 4: A silhouetted shot of Mrs. Vales holding little Bianca by the shoulders while Mr. Valens punches her violently across the face with one hand and ripping at her dress with the other. Bianca Caption: Mr. Valens ripped up all the clothes I owned and beat me up at a regular basis. Mrs. Valens did even worse by sexually torturing me…Their abuse was much worse than anything my papi ever did. When they got tired of me, they...threw me in the basement. Pg5 Panel 1: An angled overhead shot of a very skinny 4yr old Daniel, who looks like he hasn’t eaten for the longest. He is standing in the middle of the hidden hole in the basement floor. Bianca Caption: It was down there that they introduced me to another kid…Little black kid named Daniel Owens…They were keeping him in a little secret hole in the floor. They said that it was going to be my new home... Panel 2: An overhead shot of Bianca and Daniel laying close together in the hole, their naked bodied covered by a ripped up blanket. They’re talking to each other. Bianca Caption: When they left us in there, Daniel told me that the Valens kidnapped him from a toystore in New Jersey while his parents weren't looking. Daniel said he was down there for almost three whole months. Panel 3: A shot of Bianca looking sad, as a dog collar was being put around her throat from behind by Mrs. Valens. Her face is covered in bruises. In the background, Mr. Valens is pushing Daniel down. Bianca Caption: After a few days, they took us out of the hole and decided to let us roam around the basement. To make sure I couldn't escape though, they locked a dog collar around my neck and chained me to the wall. I could barely breath in it, and it kept me from screaming for help. Since Daniel was too weak to scream or open the door, they let him roam free… Panel 4: A shot of Bianca and Daniel laying against a corner, sleeping soundly. Despite the horror of this shot, they sleep like little angels. There is a dog bowl of rice in front of them. Bianca Caption: After that, it was a very long time since the Valens came down to feed us. Days passed and we were starving to death, only one moldy bowl of rice to share between us. Nightmares were starting to drive me crazy at this point and...That's when I started hearing voices… Pg6 Panel 1: An extreme shot of Bianca, as she covers her ears, not wanting to hear the voices. Her eyes are wide open in fear. Voices: Look at him, end his little misery…If you don’t, he might kill you…There’s only enough rice for you to eat anyway. Kill him, so you can live longer. You survived this long, why die here like this? Bianca Caption: The voices were haunting me, and I couldn’t stop it. I tried and I tried to keep from hearing them, but it was no use… Panel 2: A shot of Daniel eating out of the dog bowl like a dog. Very ravenous. Bianca Caption: It was while we were eating the last of our food…I saw how he looked eating out of the bowl...I was worried he'd eat all the food...So I... Panel 3: A horrific side shot of Bianca standing up, her naked body shadowed, holding up Daniel against the wall as she chokes him to death. Half eaten rice pours out of his mouth as he just dangles there, his body shivering. Bianca Caption: I strangled him. I held him against the wall and choked him until I was sure he was gone…He tried to fight, but he just wasn’t strong enough. After he was dead, I ate the rest of the rice, even scooping out what was left in his mouth. Afterward, I realized the horrible thing I did… Pg7 Panel 1: A shot of Bianca sitting in the background away from Daniel's dead body, which is covered up by the blanket they shared. She’s silently crying, her eyes wide open and her mouth in a silent scream. Bianca Caption: I tried to pretend that it didn’t happen. I'd sit as far away from Daniel's body as I could, close my eyes and make believed I was somebody else…I went into such a breakdown that even the voices in my head stopped talking to me. Panel 2: A shot of the Valens standing behind Bianca while smiling. Bianca just stares blank into space. Bianca Caption: The Valens came down into the basement the next night to check up on us...They were actually happy with what I had done. They even said because of the ‘good’ thing I did, they’d let me out of the basement. Panel 3: A side shot of Bianca laying in a bathtub, still looking completely blank. She just looks strait ahead, while chanting one of her rhymes. Bianca Caption: They told me to take a bath after hiding Daniel’s body. I just sat there like a zombie rhyming to myself, being my ‘other person’. Up until now, that’s the person you’ve been talking to…The cute naïve innocent girl who would never do bad things…The good girl who just likes to rhyme and rhyme and rhyme. This is probably the most sane I’ve been since before I went back to dad two years ago. Little Bianca singing: Old man Richter all alone… Panel 4: A shot of little Bianca sitting in the front porch, still just staring into space. Bianca Caption: The next day, they actually let me sit in the front porch and see the sun again. I just sat there, singing and singing...Until all that happened to me in my life suddenly rushed into my head all at once…That was the day I ran away from the house, screaming as loud as I could. Pg8 Panel 1: A shot of Bianca sitting up in a tree, keeping her knees in her chest while screaming in tears. A police flashlight shines up in her direction. Bianca Caption: A few hours later, the state police found me hiding up in a tree...I told them everything that happened...After the Valens were arrested, I was checked out by some child shrinks who ended up sticking me in a children's mental hospital in Jersey. They said that I would get help there with all the trauma I had suffered. Panel 2: A full bodied shot of Bianca standing in a small mental hospital room, wearing soft white hospital PJs. On her face is the same sickly smile she has in the end of the last issue. Bianca Caption: To tell you the truth, I was beyond help. Panel 3: A shot of Olando holding a 13yr old Bianca in his arms, smiling happily. She just lays in his arms submissively, staring off and singing. Bianca Caption: When I turned 13, they thought it would be good to put me back with papi, who they promised wouldn’t abuse me anymore. They were wrong. He continued to treat me as a sex object, only unlike in my childhood, I let him do it. Deep down inside, I felt it was punishment for what I did to Daniel. Sounds kind of sick, but at the time it made sense to punish myself that way. (Back to Reality) Panel 4: A shot of Bianca tossing her finished cigarette. Bianca: And that's everything...Now you know who Daniel is, and now you know why I’ve been acting like a childish psychopath. Satisfied? Pg9 Panel 1 : A shot of Donna, Richie and Princess looking sad and shocked. Not many things in life are able to shock them anymore, so it’s rather important that they look very affected by what Bianca told them. Donna: (WB1) So that's all the shit they were doing to you...Never knew it was like that... Princess: (WB2) Damn… Panel 2: A shot of Princess walking up to Bianca, pointing to her shot arm. Princess: (WB1) When Donna found you in the hospital, you were shot. Is it true you tried to kill yourself? Bianca: (WB2) I don't want to live anymore. In these last few months, I could no longer cope with what I was going through. (WB) All the pain, the burden of Daniel’s murder…I asked papi to give me a gun. Panel 3: A shot of Bianca looking away, her face blushing in anger. Bianca: (WB1) Papi let me have it because he thought there was no way I’d actually kill myself. (WB2) I always told him I would, but he thought I was too much of a coward for suicide. I finally shot myself to prove him wrong. Panel 4: A shot of Bianca getting out of her chair, Princess putting up his left hand to stop her. Bianca: (WB1) Now if you excuse me, I think I’ve told you what you wanted. Princess: (WB3) Wait a minute! Bianca: (WB4) What else do you want from me! Let me kill myself in peace! Pg10 Panel 1: A shot of Bianca screaming at everyone. Donna looks away, thinking about something. Princess: (WB1) If you kill yourself recklessly, you'll just become another restless, wandering spirit. (WB2) You’ll never get the peace your looking for, you’ll just end up being mare bait like Daniel. Do you want that? Bianca: (WB3) I don’t care! I just want all the pain to end. One way or the other. Is that too much to ask for? Donna: (WB4) Hold up! Panel 2: A sudden shot of Donna shouting in realization and pointing at Bianca, who shrivels back. Donna: (WB1) Bianca said mom and dad hid Daniel’s body, right? Then how come the fuck’n police never recovered it? (WB2) I don’t remember hearing about a dead black kid in the house! Panel 3: A quick shot of Bianca looking away suddenly, not angry anymore. Bianca: (WB1) ...You're right. The police never did find Daniel's body...(WB2) That's because your parents and I kept that secret to ourselves. Panel 4: A quick shot of Bianca placing her hands on the table, looking very defeated. She starts to cry again. Princess is behind her, keeping his hands on her right shoulder. Bianca: (WB1) I was scared. I didn’t want to tell the police about Daniel. (WB2) I thought that if they were to find him, they’d find out I was the one who killed him...I didn't want to get in trouble. Princess: (WB4) Where's did they hide the body, Bianca? Pg11 Panel 1: A shot of Mee hovering over Jenny in the living room, feeding off of her dreams, causing a nightmare. Mee is swinging her head backward in anger, listening to Bianca in the kitchen. Her ears are glowing slightly. Jenny is curled up tightly, her knees in her arms. She is sweating and cringing. Bianca's word balloons are pointing to the kitchen door in the background Bianca Caption: The Valens hid him in the attic. I only know that because I was there when they did it. Mee: (WB3) ... Panel 2: A shot of Mee’s face lowered in anger. Mee: Darn it. Too soon, too soon... Panel 3: A shot of Donna and Richie freaking out, looking up at the ceiling. Donna: (WB1) Shit, all this fucking time there was a body up there!? Richie: (WB2) Word up! Panel 4: A side shot of Princess with his back turned from Bianca, looking in Donna and Richie's direction. Bianca just sits there confused. Princess: (WB1) So the ghost's corpse been up there all this time… Bianca: (WB2) What are you guys talking about? Pg12 Panel 1: A shot of Bianca looking very shocked. Princess: (WB1) Way back after the Valens went to jail, my momma took in Donna and Richie and bought their house to use for her fortune telling business. (WB2) I'm surprised you don't realize where you are. This is the same house you were put in the basement. (WB3) The house you killed Daniel in. Panel 2: A shot of Princess, Richie and Bianca walking up the stairs to the second floor. Princess is already at the top, gripping the shears. Richie and Bianca walk up side by side. Donna: (WB1) Fuck’n bastard asses! Can’t believe mom and dad had a body up there and never said noth'n! Richie: (WB2) Don’t matter none. They’re get’n their asses fucked in Hell for what they did in life, word up. Bianca: (WB3) The Valens are dead? When did they- Richie: (WB4) Well, mom died of cancer in prison a few years ago, while dad…Well- Panel 3: An upper bodied shot of Richie talking over to Bianca. He's smiling a bit, with a sinister look on his face. Bianca is looking at him, the back of her head to the reader. Richie: (WB1) The old man was let out last year on good behavior, if you can believe that shit. He had the nerve to come visit me and Donna when we moved back up in here. (WB2) After the 'happy' reunion, we decided to give him a tour of the woods behind the house... Bianca: (WB3) You...You killed him? Richie: (WB4) He ruined a lot of people's lives, and for that he had to die. Panel 4: The same shot as the last panel, only Richie is walking up the stairs, as Bianca stops in her tracks and looks ahead fearfully. Richie: Killing him didn’t really solve anything, but it sure as fuck made everybody here feel a lot better...Too bad you didn't get to be the one who shot the last bullet. Pg13 Panel 1: A behind the back shot of everyone walking down the hallway. Bianca is slightly lagging behind. Panel 2: A shot of Donna, who just folded down the attic stairs from the ceiling. Panel 3: A shot of Princess and Richie walking after Donna up the attic stairs. Panel 4: An overhead shot of Bianca looking up at the attic from the floor below. She's afraid to go up. Princess (off panel): (WB1) Bianca, come on…You have to show us where the body is. Bianca: (WB2) I'm coming... Panel 5: A quick shot of Princess pulling on a light chain, turning the attic light on. Panel 6: A shot of Bianca's head peaking up from the stairs, refusing to go up all the way. She is pointing off panel. Bianca: (WB1) Under the floor boards near the attic window. (WB2) I remember, because I was there when they told me. Pg14 Panel 1: A shot of Princess, Donna and Richie standing under the light, darkness all around them. Donna: (WB1) That’s bullshit! Police would've found it if it was up here. Princess: (WB2) True. If there was a rotting body up here, someone would’ve noticed the stench. Panel 2: A shadowed profile shot of Bianca, crying. Bianca: He’s there. Just look. I did. Panel 3: A shot of Richie and Princess pulling up some wood boards while Donna holds the flashlight. The light focuses on a toybox, surrounded by pink insulation. Richie: (WB1) Yo sis, it's our old toy box! Donna: (WB2) Always wondered where that shit went… Panel 4: A shot of Richie kneeling down, unlatching the toybox. Panel 5: A shot of Dona, Richie and Princess looking down into the box. Little Daniel's mummified hands are visible, sticking out of the box. Pg15 Panel 1: A near full page overhead shot of the open toybox. Mostly covered by mothballs is the mummified remains of Daniel’s tiny body. His face is covered slightly, but what could be seen is hardened dry skin. His arms stuck out of the mothball pile in an eerie way, as if he were trying to escape the toybox. Panel 2: A cinematic shot of Bianca sitting on the attic stairs, her head down in sadness. Shadowed tears fall from her eyes. Bianca: Told ya he was there... Panel 3: A shot of Princess holding some mothballs in his hands, as Richie and Donna look away. Princess: (WB1) The mothballs must’ve covered up the smell, mummifying his body over the years. I read about someone doing this once in a book of serial killers…Your parents definitely knew what they were doing... Richie: (WB2) Shit… Pg16 Panel 1: A shot of Mee’s face hovering over Jenny’s ears, a white mist coming from her lips as she speaks. Jenny is still contorting her face because of her nightmare. Mee: Darn it, darn it, darn it! Got to work fast. (Note: These next dream sequences take place back when Jenny was 7 years old and living with her aunt and three wicked cousins in Hong Kong.) Panel 2: A full bodied shot of Jenny sprawled on a very dirty floor, wearing a normal little girl’s dress. She is covered in bruises, and one of her eyes is swollen shut. Blood trickles from her mouth. Older Cousin: (WB1) <Mother, why beat up our cousin?> Aunt: (WB2) <Because she is a bad girl, very filthy. She and her father let my sister die...And now he sends her to be a burden to us...> Panel 3: A shot of the aunt bending down to eye her sons over. She has a cold, regal smile on her face. Aunt: (WB1) <She is a bad girl, but you my children are very, very good. I think it’s time you all learned to become men.> Sons: (WB2) <Really!?> Stepmother: (WB3) <Yes. If you take off your stepsister’s clothing, I will show you how.> Panel 4: An extreme shot of the boys hands reaching for Jenny, who is crawling away, screaming. Jenny: <NOOOOO!> Pg17 (Back to Reality) Panel 1: A shot of Jenny getting up in the couch, waking suddenly from her nightmare. She has a red aura surrounding her head. Jenny: ! Panel 2: A profile, full-bodied shot of Jenny, sitting on the couch. She stares at Mee, who is standing right in front of her, smiling. Mee's dressed in Asian-like Goth clothing. Jenny: (WB1) It's you...You're...the mare... Mee: (WB2) Oh, such horrible dreams your forced to see every time you close your eyes…I know how you can get rid of them, yes I do… Jenny: (WB3) You…can? Mee: Yes! I mean, look at me! We're both the same kind of person, just different species... Panel 3: A shot of Jenny looking into ‘Asian Goth Mee’s’ face blankly. Jenny: (WB1) Why would...you help...me? You're a monster... Mee: (WB2) No I'm not! (WB3) Us 'Goths' have to stick together, right? If you go check the porch floor behind the front door, you'll see the present I got you! Panel 4: A shot of Jenny turning the door knob, Mee floating behind her. Mee: (WB1) Your aunt and three cousins are upstairs...They're planning to get you...(WB2) They want to do the same things they did when you were in Hong Kong with them... Pg18 Panel 1: A quick shot of Jenny’s hand grabbing Bianca’s silenced gun off the porch floor. Mee: Now thanks to me, you're gonna have the revenge you never had a chance to get... Panel 2: A full bodied shot of Jenny standing in the doorway, holding up the gun in the air. She has a zombified look on her face. Jenny: (WB1) They're upstairs? Mee: (WB2) Yes... Jenny: (WB3) Then...they have...to...die... Mee: (WB4) Good girl. Panel 3: A shot of Jenny walking through the living room, zombie-like. Mee stands behind her, giggling into her hands. Pg19 Panel 1: A shot of Bianca sitting down next to Daniel’s toybox grave, looking blank. The toybox is closed. Bianca: Daniel's gonna kill me, isn't he? Him and those creatures are gonna send me to Hell... Panel 2: A shot of Princess trying to hand Bianca the Mare Shears. Bianca flinches away. Princess: (WB1) Don't forget what I told you earlier. Daniel's trapped inside the shears, he won't be able to escape unless one of us lets him out... Bianca: (WB2) Keep that away from me! I don't want to hear the voices again! Princess: (WB3) What do you mean? You don't want to hear the mares? Bianca: (WB4) Those voices might make me do bad things again! Panel 3: A shot of Princess, Richie and Donna looking at each other in a sudden realization. Panel 4: A shot of Princess bending down, holding Bianca by her shoulders. Princess: (WB1) You said that voices told you to kill Daniel, right? Bianca: (WB2) Yes… Princess: (WB3) And when you held the shears, you heard the same voices ? Bianca: (WB5) Yes…Why? Panel 5: A shot of Richie and Dona looking at each other, angrily excited. Richie: (WB1) The fuck’n mares made her kill this kid! And all this time she’s been think’n she did it…Damn. Donna: (WB2) Making one kid kill another...That's messed up shit! Pg20 Panel 1: A shot of Bianca getting up from the toybox, as the others stand in front of her. Princess is holding onto the shears close to his chest as they are glowing again. Donna and Richie are standing close together behind him, looking relieved. Bianca: (WB1) You mean I didn't do it? I didn't kill Daniel? Princess: (WB2) Doesn't look like it from what you've just told us. That means Daniel's been manipulated all this time...And it also means we can reveal the truth to him. Donna: (WB3) Yeah, we tell what really happened an' then he can join up with us against the mare! Bianca: (WB4) But what if he doesn't believe us? Richie: (WB5) Princess's moms taught us ghosts have senses that keep 'em from being lied to by the living! He'll know we ain't bullshit'n! Panel 2: A shot of Bianca taking the shears from Princess. Bianca's starting to cry from relief. Princess: (WB1) Take the shears and concentrate. You'll be able to contact Daniel inside the shears and tell him what you told us. After he hears the truth, we'll let him out and then he can help us kill the mare. Bianca: (WB1) I really didn't kill him after all...I really didn't... Panel 3: A facial shot of Bianca, looking happy, tears streaming down her face. She holds the shears to her left cheek. Bianca: I didn't kill him...I'm not a bad girl after all... Panel 4: A sudden upper-bodied action shot of Bianca, as a bullet hits her in her stomach. Very gruesome. Bianca: ! Pg21 Panel 1: A shot of Jenny peaking out from the attic stairwell hatch, looking on angrily, her eyes and ears covered by a light red aura. She is holding the gun up with both hands, it's nozzle smoking from the shot she fired. Behind her is Mee, floating there, still in her Goth outfit. Mee: Good girl! You got your evil aunt right in the chest! Such a great aim you have! Panel 2: A shot of the mare hunters backing up in shock, as Bianca lays down face first on the floor, a pool of blood forming beneath her. The mare shears are a few inches away from her. Princess: (WB1) Shit! The mare's controlling Jenny somehow! Donna: (WB2) And how the fuck can she do that! I thought mares can't control humans strait up like that!? Richie: (WB3) Don't let the mare control you, Jenny! It's us! Panel 3: A shot of Mee rubbing her face playfully against Jenny's. Mee: She can't hear you! She only hears and sees what I want her to now! Panel 4: A red-tinted panel of what Jenny sees, her three cousins standing in the corner of the attic holding their hands up. Mee: (WB1) I used her memory of a past abuse to cloud her judgment! I made her believe the evil aunt who had her raped by her cousins was up here. (WB1) Guess she saw Bianca there as her aunt... Pg22 Panel 1: A behind the back shot of Mee pointing at the mare hunters, the look on all their faces furious and vengeful. Mee: (WB1) Since she thinks she's looking at her three evil cousins, I could have her kill all of you right now...but I won't. (WB2) I want to have some more fun with you first... Panel 2: A shot of Jenny holding the gun to her head, as Mee whispers in her ear. Panel 3: A shot of Mee floating in front of the mare hunters, tilting her head to her left smiling to mock them. Donna points at Mee angrily. Mee: (WB1) Now unless you do as I tell you, I'll make the little girl here shoot herself dead. You don't want that to happen, do you now? Donna: (WB2) Bitch! Panel 4: A shot of Jenny turning around, heading back down the attic stairwell. Mee is floating backward, motioning the marehunters off panel to follow. Mee: Walk with us. We're all going to spend some quality time down in the basement...I figure we all hang out in the very place this all began...Hehehe. Panel 5: A quick shot of Bianca holding her head up, blood streams down from her mouth. Gross. Pg23 Panel 1: An angled shot of Princess looking down at Bianca, as she holds onto his leg. Donna, and Richie are following Jenny in the background, who is halfway down the stairwell. Mee stands next to Princess, screaming at him. Bianca: (WB2) No...I don't...Wanna die up here...Don't leave me... Princess: (WB2) Listen...Try to stay alive...As long as you can. Use the shears and make your peace with Daniel... Mee: (WB3) Shut up and leave her alone! Panel 2: A shot of Princess, looking back at Bianca off panel, saddened at the events that have transpired. He's halfway down the attic stairwell. Mee floats next to him, smiling in his direction in a mocking manner. Panel 3: A quick shot of Bianca's bloody left hand attempting to reach the shears. Her blood has reached the shears first, surrounding them. Panel 4: A quick shot of Mee's hand grabbing the shears. Mee: Oh nonono, can't have you telling Daniel the truth. I'm not finished playing with him yet... Panel 5: A shot of Mee looking down at Bianca, smiling wickedly. She tosses the shears over her shoulder. Mee: When you become a ghost, can I play with you like I played with Daniel? I promise it will be really fun! Pg24 Panel 1: A great cinematic frontal shot of Mee floating away from Bianca, laughing hysterically. Bianca is in the left hand portion of the background, reaching out for Mee. That area she is laying in is covered with her own blood. Mee: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahaha! Bianca: Nooo... Panel 2, Final panel of Issue 3: A shot of the Mare shears stained with blood, laying against one of the cracked walls of the attic. They're glowing very brightly. End of Issue Three |
