JORDYN:

JT:

JORDYN:

JT

JORDYN:

JT

abby runs into the parking lot and grabs jt
JT:

ABBY:

JT
no i havent ive been at my house the entire time.
ABBY:

jt

ABBY:

JT

ABBY:
i was there when the ambulence drove up. jt i was the one who found her body.
JT
no!!!!!!
jt starts to run across the parking lot she doesnt know where she is running to she is just running.
ext. back in the parking lot.
JORDYN:
wow i cant believe she went all psycho on us like that
ABBY:
yeah i know. good job on making her believe all of that. i didnt think she would buy it. and dont worry about her she will be back once she realizes that we were right all along.
JORDYN:
i feel bad doing that to a sister though. i mean there must be an easier way to make her believe.
ABBY:
she will be okay besides i already set things up with her mom.
JORDYN:
what did you do?
ABBY:
i just got rid of the problem thats all.
JORDYN:
i thought we wernt supposed to harm any members of a family. especially if they are part of ours.
ABBY:
well i made and exception. besides i am a creater of this family i have the right to bend the rules.
JORDYN:
what do i tell the others.
ABBY:
tell them to stay on the dl for a while. i dont want anyone looking into what we are doing.
JORDYN:
okay, where can i find laciee
ABBY:
shes fine in the hideout, you know how quickly she heals. dont bother her though shes meditating.
JORDYN:
will do, sister.
they leave the parking lot and go back to school. abby makes a detour into the hideout.
int. hideout.
abby walks into the hideout and sees laicee laying on the floor moaning.
ABBY:
lace you alright.
LAICEE
you didnt tell anyone i was in here did you?
ABBY:
i told jordyn but i told him that you were meditating and not to bother you.
LAICEE
good. i dont want them to see me all weak like this. they have to believe that we are all invincible. if they see that i cant heal easily they will lose their faith.
ABBY:
i understand completly. what hurts the most i can see if i have any meds but i have to make sure they wont hurt you.
LAICEE
i hurt everywhere i cant believe that JT is so strong she always seems to be so calm and weak. i didnt think that she would explode like that.
ABBY:
i know what you mean. she was always the calm one.
LAICEE
she is going to pay for this i can feel it.
ABBY:
dont do something you are going to regret later. i know that you are mad now but if you do something stupid now your going to hate yourself later.
LAICEE
i have done so much for her. i tried to make her seem so popular made her part of something. why would she throw it all away.
ABBY:
i think that she just didnt have enough power in her. she couldnt see that all along we were trying to save her. shes following the path we tried so hard to prevent.
laicee gets off of the floor and sits in a recliner.
LAICEE
thanks for getting all the furnature from jts house.
ABBY:
no problem
LAICEE
okay i want you to call the entire family in here something big is going to happen and they should all know.
abby goes gets out her phone and texts the members. she takes her seat next to abby. like royality. the members all walk in looking like twins.
INT. HIDEOUT .
LAICEE

all of them.
agreed.
ABBY:

all of the family runs out even though it is still morning they ditch school in search for jt.
ABBY:

LAICEE
i think shes smarter than she lets on. i don't think they will find her.
ABBY:
