EXT. GRAVEYARD—LATER THAT NIGHT
The full moon casts an eerie blue glow over the headstones. An owl hoots.
CASSANDRA, HOPPER, GEMINI, DAMASCUS, and MOONCHILD sit in a circle around Jessica Ford’s grave, holding one another’s hands. Candles are lit.
CLOSE ON Cassandra as she closes her eyes, ready to begin the séance.
CASSANDRA
We are speaking now to the spirit of Jessica Ford…We sense that you are with us, Jessica. We sense your presence. We sense that you cannot rest…
HOPPER
Yeah, lighten up, Jessica…Relax already.
MOONCHILD
Cut it out, Hopper. Be real.
CASSANDRA
Will you speak to us? Is there someone here you wish to communicate with? We are here to help. Will you tell us why you’re not at rest, Jessica? Why don’t you feel at peace? Why does your spirit remain here in this place?
DAMASCUS
I’m asking my spirit the same damn thing…
MOONCHILD
Knock it off!
BACK ON Cassandra, head weaving back and forth. Something strange is happening. Her eyes roll up into her skull, revealing nothing but pure white.
CASSANDRA
What happened? Tell us, dear spirit. Tell us and you will be free. Tell us. Tell us…
MOONCHILD
Cassandra!
HOPPER
What the hell—
Cassandra GROANS in a voice no longer her own. It’s a child’s voice…JESSICA.
CASSANDRA
(Possessed:)
Why have you woken me?
