THE SCRIPT

Everything Out

"JOHN….!"
 
I felt my body was shivering. The bathroom smells like a butcher's place. I felt nauseated. I came out of the bathroom while pushing away John who was coming right at me.
 
"Why, why what happened?"
 
I showed him the bathroom with a hand gesture. He went to see what's wrong.
 
"oh my god!" he came out of the bathroom faster than I did. He seemed petrified. He came to me and started checking my arms, legs and body.
 
"What're you looking for John?"
 
"are you OK? I saw the blood in the bathroom. I thought it was yours."
 
"no, I'm fine. I was screamed out of shock to witness the blood myself. I don't know whose it is."
 
"what do you mean?"
 
"I came to wake you up and I saw you were sleeping and then I heard the sound of water. So I went into the bathroom to see if you've forgotten to stop the tap. And when I went in, there was all blood. That's why I screamed."
 
"if it's not yours, and neither mine then how come there's blood in the bathroom.?"
 
"I don't know man" I told him in a depressed voice.
 
"OK wait a minute" he went into the bathroom again. I heard he was turning the tap on. In a few moments he came back to me.
 
"I opened the tap. There's no blood coming out of it. There's just water. How come there's blood in the bathtub?"
 
We looked at each other's face.
 
"Alfred this isn't good. Wait a minute I'll go and check other taps"
 
I also went out of the guest room and John went to check other taps to see if water comes or blood out of them.
 
"I've checked the taps but everything is fine."
 
I sighed deeply and facepalmed myself.
 
"Actually Alfred what's wrong with your house? Are you hiding something?"
 
"I don't know John. Since many days many paranormal activities have been happening."
 
"what? Paranormal activities?"
 
"yes. Many things have happened but I didn't tell you."
 
"why didn't you tell me?" John asked quite aggressively.
 
"I didn't because I thought only I saw them. And also do you remember that incident at the set? You told me I behaved strangely and I thought if I said these things, you'd think I've gone crazy. But now I see that even you can see these."
 
"what do you mean?"
 
"It means, by now, me, you and Elenia we all are a target of these paranormal activities." I said out of frustration.
 
"Alfred, I don't understand anything you say. Could you be more clear please?"
 
"ok i'll tell you everything. This all started after the car accident"
 
"what! Which car accident?"
 
"do you remember that day after meeting Russell for the first time, when we drove back, I told you I banged something?"
 
"oh yeah that one. So?"
 
"well since that day, I've been seeing these weird things and hearing weird sounds."
 
"oh my god."
 
"Michael came to clean the house and that day he faced an accident too. His hand was cut and I had to bring him to the hospital as well."
 
"well, we can say it was just an accident."
 
"No John, that day when I came back from the hospital, on the patio there was a lot of blood. More than Michael had shed."
 
"so?"
 
"and then I saw a shadow in the mirror. And on the same day when I took my phone my hand was full of blood. Then you remember you were in the middle of the hall all scared and screaming."
 
"oh yeah,! I thought It was just a hallucination."
 
"hm."
 
"so so tell me everything"
 
"so let me tell you everything since the beginning" I started telling him everything that happened until now.
 
"Alfred this doesn't sound right. That means this house is haunted."
 
"i think the same. But why? And what did we do for that to happen that way?"
 
"well, that's true but now we can't just let this slide easily." as he said that, suddenly we heard a woman's laughing sound.
 
And then we again looked at each other scared.
 
"buddy, let's talk about this another time. If you want, we can go to my apartment."
 
"no John, we have to face this and find out who's behind this."
 
"ok. Don't worry I'm with you. Let's see what we can do about this."
 
John and I went back to the guest room. We cleaned the bathtub.
 
"Let's close this room," John said.
 
"yes, that's a good idea." I agreed with John.
 
We took the stuff out from there and we both went upstairs. I told John he could stay in the room next to mine which was used to be my father's. I felt that I should've done this a while ago.
 
"Alfred, you told me that a lady was crying in that guest room area?"
 
"yes."
 
"That was the day that stranger came to help you, right?"
 
"yes."
 
"can you recognise him if you see him again?"
 
"no John, he was wearing a hoodie and I was also petrified that day."
 
"hmmm, ok. Why did that man leave his watch? Don't you think it was intentional so he could come again?"
 
"why would he want to come again, if he wanted to then he could've come by now.."
 
"With what has happened and what's happening, we can't trust anyone or anything."
 
"Well, you've got a point."
 
"Alfred, I feel that someone is trying to get both of us trapped."
 
"what do you mean?"
 
"it means just look at the A36 case. I had sex but i don't kill her. When I left her she was fine and alive. You and I both didn't do anything but both of us are suspects."
 
"well, that's true."
 
"and then you told me about a letter which you've got. Ah and another thing, you told me you received a note in the hospital, do you have it?"
 
"no John, I don't remember if I have it or threw it. Why that?"
 
"damn, if we had that we could see if that handwriting and the letter which you got recently matches or not."
 
"damn, I didn't think of it John."
 
"ok anyway, what happened has happened. Now we have to be careful. Otherwise we don't know how many other problems we'll have to face."
 
John sighed deeply while saying that. I also agreed with what he said. Anyway I was feeling better after telling John about everything that happened until now. John went to make some coffee. He came back after a while with two mugs of coffee. We discussed many things while having the coffee. Time was running fast. It was almost 10pm. We both went and made ourselves dinner.
 
"John, let's keep the lights on today."
 
"OK. Hey, I wanted to ask you tomorrow when are we going to meet the lawyer?"
 
"let's go around 3pm. I don't go to the University tomorrow."
 
"why? Why is that?"
 
"with all this, my mind isn't good."
 
"ok them tomorrow we'll spend some time outside."
 
"Yeah that sounds good."
 
"I've no problem with my work. So if you don't go to university we can have some quality time outside away from all this chaos."
 
We both watched the TV for about an hour and then we went to sleep in our rooms.
