A SACRIFICE

INT. Dimly Lit Room. Night.

A noose hangs with a large shadow cast on the wall. There is a chair on the ground tipped over. Next to it on the floor is an angel named Grace. She is holding a pantomimed man or another actor [male].

A woman in black comes from the shadows from behind Grace.  She hisses when she talks.

BEZ

What are you doing?

GRACE

Helping him rest?

BEZ

He's mine now.

GRACE

No... not yet.

BEZ

You had your chance.  You failed.

GRACE

Not yet.

Grace gently places pantomimed man on the ground asleep.  Bez grabs Grace and pulls her away from him.

BEZ

He's marked now.  He comes with me.

GRACE

When he wakes, the mark will be gone.

BEZ

I'm taking him now.

GRACE

Touch him...

Grace wraps her arms around Bez like a friendly hug.

GRACE (CONT.)

...and I'll destroy you.

Bez fights free of Grace's embrace.

BEZ

What are you doing? 

GRACE

I'm not finished with him.

BEZ

But he's finished with you.  He made his choice.

GRACE

It was the wrong choice.

BEZ

Doesn't matter.  What's done is done.

GRACE

And shall be undone.

Bez gets a happy, evil look on her face.

BEZ

You'll be punished.

Grace bends down next to the sleeping Jude and touches his hair lovingly.

GRACE

I know.

Bez

A sacrifice.

Grace nods.

GRACE

A sacrifice.

Bez laughs.

BEZ

You idiot.  You'd give up everything for him? 

GRACE

Everything.

BEZ

So be it.

Bez goes to the chair, grabs it and slams it upright to the floor with a thunderous boom.

BEZ (CONT.)

It's his choice though. 

GRACE

I know.

BEZ

What if he doesn't love you?

Grace looks at him sadly.  He's starting to stir.  Bez bends down next to them and reach for him.  Grace pushes her hand away.

GRACE

Don't touch him.

BEZ

You don't know if he loves you, do you?

Bez laughs.

BEZ (CONT.)

You're such a fool.  See you on the other side.

Bez fades in to the darkness.
