** LIVING ROOM - NIGHT **
Natalie is on the floor, in a corner of the room, crying in David's arms. Her bitten hand is against her chest, bleeding.
The cellar door is practically wrapped in heavy metal chains now.
"Please David.. We have to get out of here. Right now.."
David can't take his eyes away from the cellar."I promised Mia I wouldn't leave.. I gotta stay, I gotta help her."
The front door of the cabin opens. It's Eric.
He struggled to walk towards the jug of water that Natalie left on the floor. He picks it up and drinks from it until it's empty.
He lets it crash to the ground. "Thanks for the water.." He says with sarcasm.
He walks by the main table and disappears from the hallway.
** MASTER BATHROOM **
Eric is on his knees on the floor, his back to the door. Something is on fire in front of him.
David steps into the small bathroom."Eric?.."
"I don't know why, but I thought that this would end it."
He laughs painfully. David peaks over Eric's shoulder. In front of him, inside a metal bucket, THE BOOK lays over a vivid fire.
"It does not fucking burn."
They both observe how the fire doesn't affect the book in any way.
David turns to Eric, his eyes angry and fearful. "What in God's name is happening here.."
Eric's eyes reflect the burning flames.
-----------------------------------------------
The rain has stopped now. There's a white fog covering the woods.
-----------------------------------------------
Eric browses through the book pages. "According to the book, if you speak the words out loud, it gives him the right to.. Possess the living.."
He can't really believe he's saying all this.
"Him?"
Eric stops flipping the pages.
A drawing of a humanoid silhouette, surrounded by smoke, looks back at them with tiny white eyes.
"The book talks about an 'evil entity.' A vicious taker of souls."
Eric points at several inscriptions in different languages and handwriting:
BAEL! AZATHOTH! IBLIS! LILTH! SHAITAN!
Eric examines the words. "Different names from different religions..."
David looks at Eric. "...for the same thing."
A last inscription lays n the side of the page:
THE FUCKING DEVIL!
Eric signals a Latin writing on the side of the page. He translates:
"...Once his thirst for souls is appeased, the skies will bleed, and an abomination will rise from hell.."
There's a drawing of a hellish creature rising from the ground, under a heavy blood rain.
