The third and FINAL part of the script! Enjoy!
INT. LUMI’S HOME The door opens and LUMI enters, carrying a brown paper bag in her arms. She is grunting with the effort of carrying the heavy bag, Her father follows carrying nothing. LUMI enters and drops the bag onto the floor with a sigh. Her father, chuckles and paps her head. FATHER “Alright then Lumi, are you ready to get to work?” LUMI breathless “Yooooou bet daddy. What are we making first? FATHER “No baking quite yet, first we need to have a talk.” LUMI “About what? Is everything ok daddy? FATHER “Yes, of course. I have a question for you?” LUMI “What?” FATHER “How would you feel about having a little brother?” LUMI’s eyes widen and she gasps LUMI “I think that would be ok. As long as he isn’t very loud.” FATHER “He won’t be. I promise.” LUMI “Then I guess I’m ok with it.” FATHER sighs “That’s a relief, I would hate to have to return him.” LUMI whispers “you already got him?” FATHER “Yep. I just got him last night, though on second though, I probably shouldn’t have left him alone while we were at the store.” LUMI “Where is he? Can I see him?” FATHER “Yes. He’s in here.” The pair enter the living room, LUMI hiding behind FATHER as if she’s scared of something unseen, and yet unknown. In the corner of the room, under a pile of blankets is under a cardboard box, about as tall as LUMI. Holes had been poked hastily into the side of the box. FATHER whispers something to LUMI that we cannot hear. LUMI nods and FATHER proceeds alone onward towards the box. LUMI looks on in curiosity as FATHER reaches into the box, and removes a small child swaddled in blankets. A small tuft of bright orange hair pokes out of the blanket curling on the child’s forehead. He makes a small happy sound, he is smiling. FATHER “LUMI meet LANCE, he’s going to be staying with us for a while.” FATHER hands the baby to LUMI. LUMI “He’s so cute daddy! Where’d you get him?” FATHER “I’ll tell you when you’re older. Now put that baby down and let’s get to work. We have a cake and four dozen cupcakes to bake!” LUMI “Alright!” Then a montage happens. Bath Time (Vocal Mix) begins to play. The first shot is LUMI and FATHER standing at a counter, FATHER is whisking batter, and LUMI is putting sprinkles into a bowl. FATHER looks over at LUMI and raises one eyebrow. Shot of LUMI from FATHER’S perspective, she has a sprinkle shaker in each hand, and is sprinkling fiercely into a bowl filled quarter full of sprinkles. FATHER shakes his head and returns to his work. LUMI taps father on the shoulder and he turns with a questioning face. LUMI takes his bowl and adds her bowl of sprinkles to his bowl of mix. FATHER frowns slightly and sighs. He carries the bowl to the table, where there are cupcake tins set out. FATHER pours the battery sprinkles into the cupcake holders. FATHER, now equipped with oven mitts, slides the cupcakes into the oven. Transition and a DING sound effect. FATHER and LUMI are sitting on a blanket in front of the fire, eating cupcakes that are black and glossy. LANCE is laying in front of them, gurgling and plating with a cupcake foil. FATHER has a grimace on his face and is trying to force one of the cupcakes down. LUMI (WIth a mouth full of cupcake.) “So DADDY, is today Lance’s birthday? Is that why we made so many cupcakes.” FATHER “Yep, too bad he can’t eat these delicious cupcakes huh.” LUMI (Poutily) “Daddy I know you don’t like my sprinkle-cakes, you don’t have to pretend.” FATHER(Full of fake enthusiasm.) “No! Lumi, I love your, uh ‘sprinkle cakes’ FATHER says the word uncomfortably, like it doesn't feel right to say. FATHER (Swallows) “So Lumi, let’s have a chat, you and I. Listen closely, this is very important.” LUMI “Is everything ok daddy?” FATHER “Ya, everything is fine, I just want to show you something. (clears throat) today Lumi, I’m going to do something very special to Lance. I’m going to make him like you.” LUMI “You’re gunna make him cold?” FATHER “Well, alright, not exactly like you, Lance is going to be hot, like a bare flame.” LUMI “Ooooooooo, won’t that hurt? Didn’t you tell me that hot was bad?” FATHER “That’s only for you Lumi, because you're so cold. I’m going to let you watch how I gave you your powers, and now Lance his, but you have to promise to be absolutely silent, not a peep, don’t move either, just watch.” LUMI “Ok daddy.” FATHER picks up LANCE, who gurgles happily, and starts to turn away. He stops, turns back to face LUMI. FATHER “Lumi, you trust me right? You know I would never hurt you, or Lance, right?” LUMI “Yes daddy, I know.” FATHER “Good.” FATHER stands, still holding LANCE and approaches the fire place. He reaches into his pocket with one hand, and pulls forth a handful of red dust. He tosses it into the fireplace, the fire flares up and FATHER begins to chant. FATHER “Ure , puer iste hominis . Inflammábit in anima ,” FATHER crouches near the fireplace, and reaches the baby out. LUMI’s eyes widen in as much fear as amazement. FATHER “ donee inuretis nigrum. Quae si semel cineres redacta est, neque vera esse ASCENSUS sicut magnus phenoiz ! Hanc PUER” FATHER now sets the child in the fire, continuing the chant. FATHER “Et combures eum ! Adolebitque eum omnes eius essentiae “ It is now, that FATHER has finished the final phrase of the chant, and is beginning the welcoming that the fire flares up. The baby cries out, and LUMI screams. She flings herself at her father. FATHER (Screaming) “LUMI NO!” The fire flares out once more, and FATHER is flung backwards, the fire dies out, leaving a pile of ash and smoke. LUMI rushes over to father, who is lying on the ground, smoking, and bleeding. He has no wounds, but his blood runs anyway. His eyes are partly open, his mouth is gaping. LUMI is crying, her voice is breaking. LUMI “Daddy? Daddy?” She is shaking him, but all he can do is groan. He is dying, and in so much pain he doesn’t even register that she is there. She continues to cry out for him, but his eyes close, his laboured breathing stops. LUMI (panicked.) “Daddy? Daddy no, daddy please, DOn’t LEAVE DADDY PLEASE NOOOOoo.” LUMI IS sobbing heavily, and she collapses on top of her father. Her breathing is heavy and irregular. FATHER’s body begins to freeze, his skin is blue, and before long, he is frozen solid in a block of ice. LUMI cries well into the night, and falls asleep on top of her dead father. fade to black. It is daytime now, and LUMI awakes in her bed, frightened. She gets up, thinking the night before was all a dream. She walks into the living room, where her father still is lying on the floor. She sinks to her knees and begins to cry again, realizing it was all real. A knock on the door. MOTHER “Hello? Is anyone home?” LUMI doesn’t even hear the voice, she is still crying, MOTHER “I guess I’ll let myself in then.” MOTHER enters through the door. She stands six feet tall, dressed in all black with pale white skin. Her black hair falls down to her waist. MOTHER “Hello, what do we have here?” MOTHER stands in the doorway looking at the frozen man, and the crying child. LUMI notices the intruder, and whimpers, scootching away. MOTHER “Don’t be frightened child, do you really think your own Mother would harm you?” Fade to black.
