rate me

<br>

(Blackwater house. Layra's bedroom. <br>

Later in the same night, Laura is still very distressed at the night's occurances. <br>

She is in her white nightgown, sitting alone on her bed)<br>

<br>

LAURA<br>

<br>

If I could only dream this world away<br>

I'd awake<br>

In you arms<br>

If I could keep this bitter life at bay<br>

Wide awake<br>

In your arms<br>

<br>

The vow that keeps me from you<br>

I cannot undo<br>

I'm lost<br>

Lost in a fantasy that can't come true<br>

<br>

If I could only dream this world away<br>

I'd awake <br>

In your arms<br>

I long to sleep forever<br>

Dreaming only of you<br>

I'm lost<br>

How many nights like this can I go through?<br>

<br>

(Marian enters. Laura jumps-her nerves are on edge)<br>

<br>

MARIAN<br>

<br>

I am sorry, I didn't mean to startle you. Oh, Laura, you look so pale!<br>

<br>

LAURA<br>

<br>

What are they doing?<br>

<br>

MARIAN<br>

<br>

They have retired to the library<br>

<br>

LAURA<br>

<br>

Stay here with me!<br>

<br>

MARIAN<br>

<br>

We can't just wait like victims<br>

I'll find out what they're up to<br>

<br>

LAURA<br>

<br>

I'm so frightened<br>

Please don't leave me<br>

<br>

MARIAN<br>

<br>

We must know what their next move is.<br>

<br>

LAURA<br>

<br>

No!<br>

<br>

MARIAN<br>

<br>

Laura, they don't scare me<br>

Hush, now, go to sleep.<br>

<br>

(Laura kneels beside her bed. Marian exits)<br>

<br>
