TVD 9x05 Halloween Special (part 1 of part 1) Enjoy! =)
Cut to – a little girl in a white dress, standing in the snow at the edge of a blood-filled lake, a black box is floating in the middle of the lake.
VOICE: Oh, my precious child… you knew there would be consequences…
.Cut to – Bonnie in a water-filled tub, wearing a white dress, looking scared...
VOICE: There will never be enough water to clean the blood from your hands… Embrace your dark, my child, it is who you are meant to be...
Cut to – Bonnie’s bedroom, around 3am, October 31s, current day. She is sleeping, levitating and breathing heavily. Suddenly, she opens her eyes, her pupils reflect pure terror, she drops instantly. She gets out of bed, somewhat disoriented, goes to the bathroom and squirts some water on her face; stares at the mirror, tears in her eyes.
Cut to - Salvatore house living room. Loud knocks on the door, Caroline (half asleep), comes down the stairs, opens the door…
STRANGER: Is Tamara here?
CAROLINE: No… you have the wrong house… (Stranger leaves, Stefan comes down the stairs).
STEFAN: Who was it?
CAROLINE: Wrong house…
STEFAN: Who visits someone at 4am?
CAROLINE: Probably a drunken booty call, let’s go back to bed.
STEFAN: Well, know that we are up, how about we have our own booty call?
CAROLINE: I’d love to, but I really need some shut-eye, the girls will probably be up in two hours…Raincheck, okay? (Kisses him, as they are walking upstairs, another loud knock on the door). You have got to be kidding me!
STEFAN: Go, get some sleep. I’ll handle it.
CAROLINE: Are you sure?
STEFAN: Yes, don’t worry.
CAROLINE: Thank you (kisses him and goes upstairs).
Stefan opens the door, no one is there, just a package on the floor, he looks around, no one at sight; he takes the package inside, locks the door. He sits on the living room sofa and opens the package. Inside is a black box with a note and a pair of antique golden cuff links engraved with the letter “L”. The note reads: “We all go a little mad sometimes…”
Cut to – A little boy running desperately through a dried cornfield maze, it seems to be endless. As he runs through the maze, he dodges dead bodies and body parts, who, like the maze, also seem endless. From a distance, he hears a voice …
VOICE: You can run, but you can’t hide… from yourself. (The sound of a mirror breaking is heard, the boy stops and drops a black box).
VOICE: Let the games begin… you like games, don’t you, little boy? (Circus music starts playing in the background).
Cut to- Damon sleeping in his room, around 3am. He wakes up, sweating and breathing heavily. Gets up and goes to the bathroom to squirt some water on his face, stares into the mirror, tears in his eyes, the circus music still lingering in his head...
Cut to – Halloween night, 1990. It’s pouring, a woman is driving home after a long shift at the hospital, she is a Nurse. As she turns to the corner of her street, she abruptly hits the brakes. A man, who seems to have come out of nowhere, is standing in the middle of the road; he is wearing a yellow raincoat with a hood, and what look to be clown shoes. He is holding a black box tied to a red balloon.
The woman flashes her headlights, signaling him to get out of the way, he doesn’t move. She flashes the lights again and hunks the horn, the man places the box in his left hand, and with his right hand brings his index finger to his mouth in a “hush” gesture. The woman starts to get very nervous, locks the car doors and turns the car around when she looks back, the man is gone, the box with the balloon is in the middle of the road. She drives around the block, hoping the man will be gone for good. When she arrives at the same spot, the black box is still lying in the middle of the road. She stops the car, waits for a while, then gets out of the car to grab the box. She unties the balloon, and it flies up into the sky (which is uncanny since given the meteorological conditions the flight pattern would be impossible). She opens the black box, inside is a note that reads: Curiosity killed the cat… you should have stayed in the car. The man attacks her from behind, horrible screams… then, silence. On the ground, a stream of rainwater mixed with blood flooding through the cracks of the sidewalk drain.
Cut to – The Mayor’s house. Edward puts on an old record on his turn table, Mr. Sandman by The Chordettes, then stares at the mirror.
Someone knocks at his door, he shuts the music and opens the door.
ANTHONY: Sir, your breakfast is ready and set on the patio as you requested.
EDWARD: Thank you, Anthony, I will be down in a moment.
ANTHONY: Also, Lady Guinevere finished your costume, shall I lay it out for you?
EDWARD: Yes, please. Do you think it might be too scary?
ANTHONY: In all honesty, it gives me the chills, Sir., but nothing seems to scare these new generations anymore, so I’m sure it will be fine. At what time shall we be expecting your guests?
EDWARD: At eight.
ANTHONY: Everything is prepared, Sir.
EDWARD: Thank you. (As Anthony is walking away) Anthony…
ANTHONY: Yes, Sir?
EDWARD: Do you think she would be proud of me?
ANTHONY: Of course, Sir.
EDWARD: There is not a day that goes by that I don’t miss her...
ANTHONY: I know, Sir. We all miss her…
EDWARD: Please, shut the door on your way out; I’ll be down soon.
ANTHONY: Yes, Sir. (Shuts the door; Edward puts the music back on, the same song, and continues to stare at the mirror).
Cut to – October 31st, 1886, New Jersey State Lunatic Asylum. A patient is being submitted to experimental treatments.
NURSE: Doctor, is this really necessary? Seems somewhat cruel…
DOCTOR: Are you a Doctor? (Shakes her head) I didn’t think so. Your job is to assist me, not to voice your opinion, understood?
NURSE: Yes, pardon me, Doctor.
DOCTOR: If you are uncomfortable with this situation, you are free to gather your things and leave.
NURSE: No, forgive me, I was out of line, Doctor.
DOCTOR: Can you not see that this woman is sick? She needs help. That is what I am doing, trying to fix her. (Another Doctor comes in).
DOCTOR 2: Doctor, how is the procedure coming along? We cannot have another incident, like the previous one.
DOCTOR: It is too early to tell but I believe it has worked this time, especially given the patient’s miraculous ability to heal so quickly, it is quite uncanny.
DOCTOR 2: Let us hope it does work. The last incident was particularly difficult to cover-up.
DOCTOR: I know, but it’s trial and error, my friend. Worry not, at least for now. The patient is heavily sedated, she won’t be waking up for a couple of hours. I will monitor her status every hour on the hour. In the meantime, (to the Nurse) tidy up in here and replace her restraint harness.
NURSE: Yes, Doctor. (Both Doctors leave, the Nurse cleans the room and replaces the patient’s restraint harness. She leans close to the patient’s face and caresses her cheek, the patient opens her eyes…)
To be continued...
Part 1 continuation coming right up! Sorry, I had to split the parts into parts since I can only have 5 videos per post, and the special requires many musical entries.
TVD 9X05 Halloween Special, hope you stop by, read and enjoy! =)
