(June 1598)
Dante: "When we left the farm, I didn't think things would get even worse as we saw the truth of this place—and why there had been losses since 1550: children, women, travelers. An event that changed Liza, and of course Sophie, Kenn, and Zoe… but Liza… because of these events… became a… cold-blooded person…"
(September 1595!)
Kenn: "Hahhh… hahh…"
Sophie: "…hahh…"
Liza: "…mmm…"
(Patch)
Jessica: "…whe…re… are… you... hoaaahhhhhhhhh... roaaaaaaaaaaa…h…"
Kenn: "…ghhh…"
Sophie: "Shhhh…"
Liza: "Mhm…"
(meanwhile with Hansel and Zoe)
Hansel: "Ghhh…"
Zoe: "Hahhh… are they gone?"
Hansel: "Don't know…"
(Crash!)
Zoe: "Ugh…"
Hansel: "Huh."
Rasmus: "Ugh… gahhh…"
Zoe: "Shhhh…"
(meanwhile with Jill, Dante, The Gift, and Natalia)
Natalia: "…ghhh…"
Dante: "…ow…"
Jill: "Shhhh… I know, I know…"
They looked around.
Jill: "…what kind of building is this…"
(…dong!)
Jill: "Ugh…"
Natalia: "Ugh… hahh…"
Suddenly they saw it… in the window… just a glimpse of a face… eyes… it was Jason… but this time he looked human. They hid behind the walls just in time.
Natalia: "Ugh… hmmm…"
Jill: "Hahh… (…)"
(pump!) …Pump!)
(Voice of Death)
Jill: "Hahhh…"
It felt… as if the hands of death… were slowly seeping into her body…
Jill: "Hahhh…"
Jason: "Hello… is anyone here… why am I even asking… I can hear your hearts pumping… hmmmm… and smell your fear…"
Jill: "Hmm…"
Natalia: "…ghhh…"
The door opened slowly… but he found no one.
Jason: "Was I mistaken?… hmm…"
Jill clung to the ceiling—thanks to the way the house was built…
Jason: "Hmm… I can still smell them… they were here… that's for sure…"
Natalia: "…hah…"
Natalia hid in the bathroom—but not in the tub, rather behind the door… As for Dante and The Gift, they lay behind the tub…
Jason: "Grrrr…"
He came closer—
Natalia: "Hahh…"
Jill: "…hahh…"
Jason: "Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr…"
Jill: "…hahhh… I guess I have to use it…"
Jason: "Hmm!"
He looked up but found nothing… Then to the bathtub—no one anywhere… he left the room… A minute later they emerged. They had been under the floor; there was at least a tiny cellar… very small, it fit at most three… but since Jill is so small… they managed to cram four in there.
Jill: "Ahh…"
Natalia: "…hahh…"
Jill: "That was close… hey… Dante… next time, if you're going to cling to someone… please not my butt."
Dante: "That wasn't me."
Natalia: "Uh… I know… it was just too cramped…"
Jill: "…oh… well if it's you, then it's fine… by the way, I'm underage."
Dante: "Hmm."
The Gift: "Ghhh… what are you even talking about."
Jill: "You're awake."
The Gift: "Unfortunately, just in time to hear your whining… let's get out of here… before it's too late. Underage or not, I think he'd eat you anyway."
(back to Liza, Kenn, and Sophie)
Sophie: "Gghh…"
Kenn: "What is it… are you okay?"
Sophie: "…hmm… I'm fine…"
Liza: "Hmm."
Sophie's leg was hurt; she was bleeding badly.
Kenn: "You're bleeding."
Sophie: "…must've happened without me noticing… damn, it hurts…"
Kenn: "…hmm…"
(Crash!)
Sophie: "Ugh…"
Kenn: "…huh?"
Liza: "…what… where did that come from…"
They looked out the window—nothing there…
Sophie: "Hahh… there's nothing…"
Kenn: "…but… that can't be."
Liza: "Ugh…"
Something fell on Liza…
Liza: "Raindrops?…"
She looked up… and there she was… Jessica… above them…
Liza: "Ugh…"
Kenn: "Liza!"
He shoved Liza aside—
(Crash!)
Sophie: "Ugh… damn."
Jessica: "…hrrr…"
(Crack!)
She moved strangely and leapt at Liza.
Liza: "Ghhh… help…"
Sophie: "Ugh… Liza… next to you… there's a rod…"
Sophie pointed with her fingers.
Sophie: "…damn!"
Liza: "Ghhh…"
Liza reached for it—she managed, hit Jessica with it, but the rod broke.
Jessica: "Hahaha…"
Sophie: "Is she even… still human!"
Kenn: "…ghh…"
Liza: "Ghhh…"
She almost bit Liza… almost… Liza held her by the mouth.
Liza: "Ghhhhhh… ghhhhh…"
Kenn: "…ugh…"
Jessica: "Hahahaha…"
(Splach!)
Liza grabbed the rod—now sharpened—and stabbed Jessica in the throat.
Jessica: "Urk… ghhh… (Gleargh!)…"
She spat blood…
Liza quickly stood up.
Liza: "Hahh…"
She hugged Sophie.
Sophie: "Hahh… holy crap…"
Kenn: "Ugh…"
Jessica got up… holding her throat… pulled the rod out… but staggered…
Jessica: "Urk… gahhh…"
Liza: "Hahhh…"
Sophie: "…heaven… above…"
Liza: "…hahh…"
She fell to her knees.
Jessica: "…Gleargh!"
She spit more blood… and began… to become human again…
Jessica: "…hahh… Mom…"
Liza: "What."
Sophie: "Huh?"
Jessica: "Mom… Mom, where are you… I… it hurts… where are… you…"
She cried.
Sophie: "Oh… damn… must be a call for help."
Kenn: "What?"
Sophie: "When people die… they often act… out of fear… strange… they call for their mother even though they aren't children anymore, they cry and… well… it's probably… when the brain can't… grasp what's happening… that's how we humans are sometimes… not always…"
Jessica: "…mom…"
She clutched her throat.
Jessica: "Ghhh… ghhh…"
Kenn: "…shouldn't we just end it…"
Sophie: "That bitch killed and cooked several people… give her a quick death—do you think that's fair to her victims?"
Liza: "Ugh…"
Kenn: "That's cruel…"
Sophie: "Well, Kenn… in a world like this, life demands brutality… sometimes we humans… have to be cruel too."
Jessica: "…mom…"
She fell to the floor and started crawling… suddenly Liza held her cheeks.
Sophie: "What are you doing—get away from her…"
Liza: "I can't!… she's crying…"
Sophie: "So what… of course she's crying… nobody laughs when they're dying… with injuries like that… except… in horror movies…"
Kenn: "…hhh…"
Liza: "Hey… it's… okay…"
Jessica: "Mom?… Where are you… why is the light off…"
Sophie: "Ugh… what's happening now."
Kenn: "Did she go blind…?"
Liza: "Hahh…"
Jessica: "…oh… no… mom… I want to see you… I want to see you… that's why… I acted for The Eye… killed… he will give me eyes and I can see you… don't leave me… alone… I killed people for you… mom…"
Sophie: "…hmm."
Kenn: "…ugh…"
Sophie: "I see… a pact then… yes… that explains the powers… some kind of… contract…"
Kenn: "…hahh…"
Jessica: "…hahh…"
Liza: "…I'm… sorry… I killed you…"
Sophie: "Are you freaking kidding me…"
Kenn: "What."
Sophie: "…why are you holding my hand."
Kenn: "Oh…"
Liza: "She's dying… I killed her…"
Sophie: "Hahh…"
She walked slowly to Sophie.
Liza: "I… had to do it."
Sophie: "Of course you had to… it's not your fault."
Kenn: "Sophie's right, she almost killed you…"
(Suddenly they heard a voice—it was Jessica.)
Jessica: "Oh yes!"
Liza: "Ugh."
Sophie: "Are you kidding me right now?"
Kenn: "Ugh…"
Jessica: "You humans really have a knack for it…"
Sophie: "Hmm… wait a second… that… isn't Jessica…"
Liza: "…that's… is that The Eye?.."
Kenn: "What… but how."
Sophie: "He's controlling Jessica's body…"
The Eye: "…If you think… you can escape… you're mistaken… wherever you go… I will watch you… and whatever you do… I will kill you… and devour you… every pathetic chance at escape is simply foolish."
Sophie: "…hahh…"
Kenn: "…ghh…"
Liza: "Why are you doing this."
The Eye, inside Jessica's body, looked at them… suddenly her body began to melt, and he started to emerge from within her…
The Eye: "…hrrrr…"
(Splach!)
The Eye: "Urk… ghhh…"
Liza: "Hahh…"
Kenn: "…ugh…"
Sophie: "…ghhh…"
The Eye appeared in his own form: pale skin, dressed like a gentleman, even with a cane; he had only teeth where a face should be, and his eyes were on his hands.
The Eye: "We Crimson… eat… well… human flesh… just as you… eat animals… to survive… we… eat humans to survive…"
Sophie: "…hahh…"
The Eye: "…since you actually managed… to kill that wretch… I'll let you ask one question."
Liza: "Don't call her that… she… only wanted to see her mother, and you used her feelings."
Sophie: "Shhh…"
The Eye: "Ah, right… well then… do you have a question…"
Kenn: "Uh…"
Sophie: "What… exactly… are you creatures!"
The Eye: "We… Crimson… have lived here for more than 800 years… since we emerged from the Depth… the dark abyss… We are, so to speak, monsters… indeed… only… we are more… a mixture of vampires and trolls… intelligent too—we can speak, we can reproduce. If you want, I can tell you how."
Kenn: "No."
Sophie: "Oh… actually that could be funny."
Kenn: "No… don't want to hear it."
Sophie: "What, getting squeamish or what?"
The Eye: "Well… it's like with you humans… only… that we then… during the act… eat… each other's… entrails…"
Sophie: "Okay… I don't want to know anymore… I should've kept my mouth shut…"
Liza: "…uh… but why…"
The Eye: "One question at a time… but I can tell you we don't die from it…"
Sophie: "…would be really nice if you told us how to kill you."
The Eye: "Well… you could have asked that, but you didn't."
Sophie: "Fuck!"
Kenn: "…I… don't think he would've answered anyway."
The Eye: "Be that as it may… I'll be on my way again…"
He began to move strangely… floated into the air and traced a circle with his body before disappearing completely.
Kenn: "…hmm."
Sophie: "Creepy…"
Liza: "Mhm."
Kenn: "…why did you want to know how they fool around…"
Sophie: "What… these beings are new to me… they weren't in the biology books… would've been important to know…"
Kenn: "…hahh…"
(meanwhile)
Jason: "…rrrrrr...…"
Jill: "Hahhh… hahhh…"
Jason returned to his human form.
Jason: "Gahhh… damn, where are they…"
Jill: "My… chance!"
She grabbed a knife and attacked him.
Jason: "Huh!"
Jill: "Gh!"
She attacked and stabbed him in the belly.
Jason: "Urk!… grghhh... roarghhh!"
Jill: "…ghh…"
She fell to the floor.
Jason: "Damn women!"
Jill: "…hahh…"
He lunged at her; she ran fast…
Jill: "Hahh… hahh… hahhhhh… hahhh…"
Jason: "Stop!"
Jill: "Ghhh…"
She threw a branch at him; it hit his eye.
Jason: "Urk!"
She took advantage, ran and ran until she found a small house and hid there.
Jill: "Hahhh…"
(Patch!)
Jill: "…ghh…"
Jason hadn't transformed yet.
Jason: "Come out… it won't hurt… that much… if you come out on your own… did you hear me… I won't kill you right away… but I won't keep you waiting long either… but if you don't come out… and I find you… then I'll do things… things one really shouldn't do… I've seen… you're really pretty… you've got a chest… dark… hair… and beautiful eyes… oh… what I'll do to you then… woohoo…"
Jill: "Hahhh…"
Jason: "…Don't want to come out…"
Jill: "Hahh…"
Jason looked around.
Jason: "Must be somewhere else…"
He moved away from the house.
Jill: "Hahhh… ugh!"
Suddenly she had a bad feeling… as if… an evil aura were holding her… the hands of death…
Jill: "Ugh…"
She glanced up at the window—she was sitting on the floor after all… and saw them… his eyes… and his grin…
Jason: "Got… you!"
He reached through the window and grabbed her by the throat.
Jason: "Hahahahaha…"
Jill: "No… please… please…"
Jason: "…hehehe… you're not getting away…"
Jill: "Ghhhh…"
He slammed her head against the wall several times.
Jill: "Arghh… arghh… arggh!"
(Crash!)
Jason: "Hahahaha…"
Jill: "Urk…"
He lifted her up and looked at her.
Jason: "Well, what do you think… hehe…"
Jill: "…ghhh…"
And suddenly she bit his throat.
Jason: "Urk!"
Jill: "…(bites!)…"
Jason: "Urk…"
Jill: "Hrrrrrrrr…"
(Splach!)
Jason: "Urk… hhhhh…"
He dropped her… and clutched his throat…
Jason: "Hrr…"
Jill: "Ahah…"
Jason: "Hrrrr…"
He held his throat.
Jason: "…ghhhh…"
Jill: "…huh!"
He fell to the floor…
He grinned.
Jason: "Hh."
Jill: "Is he… dead…"
She stepped closer…
Jason: "(Silence)"
Jill: "Hahh…"
Suddenly his eyes opened.
Jason: "…gotcha…"
Jill: "Aaaargh!"
He grabbed her foot.
Jason: "Stay… there… hahaha…"
Blood poured from his neck, yet he still lived.
Jason: "No one… no one… escapes… me… no one!"
Jill: "…hhhhh… huh!"
(Splach!)
Jason: "Urk!"
Suddenly someone stabbed him with a farm digging tool.
Jason: "Urk…"
Natalia: "…damn it, die already!"
He knocked her away.
(Crash!)
Natalia: "Urk!"
Jill: "…ghhh…"
Jason: "…hahh… damn…"
He pulled it from his back; when he turned, he saw both of them fleeing.
Jason: "…hrrr…"
He stumbled after them.
Jason: "Hhr…"
Blood streamed from his body…
Jason: "…hahhh… I… will… find you…"
He transformed again, though even then he wasn't as strong.
Jason: "Hrrrr…"
They were inside a building.
Jason: "Hahh… hahh… where are you…"
Jill: "Hahh…"
Natalia: "Damn… Jill… your eye…"
Jill: "Hahhh… I'm fine…"
Natalia: "What do we do now…"
Jill: "…I don't know… hhahh…"
Natalia: "…damn… you're still a kid… I should be protecting you… hahhh… what do I do now… ugh…"
She found something… that could help.
Natalia: "…a torch…"
Jill: "Huh?"
Natalia: "Hh…"
She took a knife and slit her hand.
Natalia: "Urk!"
Jill: "What are you doing!"
Natalia: "You'll see…"
Jason looked around.
Jason: "Hmm."
He smelled blood…
Jason: "Hehe… there you are…"
He sprinted toward them, went through the door—basically smashed it…
(Crash!)
Jason: "Hh… hmm?… wait… something's… off…"
Suddenly a torch fell in front of the doorway.
Jason: "Ugh!"
And set the house on fire.
Jason: "Ugh… no… no… stop… let me out…"
As he tried to get out… Jill struck him in the chest with an axe.
(Splach!)
Jason: "Urk."
Jill: "…die… now… finally… asshole!"
She dropped the axe and he fell to the floor…
Jason: "Urk… gahhh…"
The fire spread…
Natalia: "Quick!"
She hoisted Jill on her back and ran.
Jill: "Hahh…"
Natalia: "Quick… quick!"
Suddenly they heard a loud scream.
Natalia: "Urk…"
Jill: "Huh?"
They turned around… Jason… it was Jason… who came out of the fire again.
Jason: "…arghh… roaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrr!"
He walked on slowly, in human form.
Jill: "Is this a joke…"
Natalia: "…hhm…"
Jason: "Stop…"
He came closer; out of fear the two stopped.
Natalia: "I can't feel my legs anymore…"
Jason: "Hrhrrrr…"
(Splach!)
Suddenly someone split him in two.
(Splach!)
Zoe: "Ghhhh… now just… die… already…"
Jill: "Zoe…"
Natalia: "You did it…"
Hansel: "You're okay."
He said as he appeared.
Hansel: "…hahh… you're injured…"
Natalia: "Nothing too bad… but Jill…"
Hansel: "Your eye…"
Zoe: "Hurry… let's get out of here…!"
