11 Scene 2; Bruder Jakob
What he said, he was right you know?
EVE
Don't say that, wouldn't that mean everything we've been doing was wrong?
LUZY
Would you say that it was right.
EVE
I, I don't know.
LUZY
Even though it pains me to say this, I somewhat agree with Cael. I think it's time to take off our masks. Many have been hurt you know?
EVE
What do you mean ending, doing that would be the same as killing ourselves.
LUZY
Exactly.
EVE
Wait, tell me you are joking, right, you couldn't possibly-.
LUZY
Eve I can't go on like this anymore.
EVE
Stop, I get it, stop, don't do anything rash.
LUZY
No, I already decided, This is not something I will change my mind on. Only, I was waiting to do it after the party. So are you with me?
EVE
Luzy, I don't-
LUZY
I wasn't asking you, Eve. I am asking Jakob.
EVE
Huh?
LUZY
If we do this, shouldn't we at least do it as our real selves? I actually know of a neat way to bring him out you know?
Luzy takes a deep breath, and with her charming voice, she starts chanting an old childrens song - 'Bruder Jakob'.
LUZY
Bruder Jakob, Bruder Jakob.
Eve expression changes into a pained face and looks at Luzy.
EVE
Wait, Luzy! Ugh, stop, Don't so this, come on let's talk this out.
LUZY
Schläfst du noch? Schläfst du noch?
Eve's expression changes again.
EVE
Oh look at you my dear child, what has befallen onto you, come over here and let your mother have a loo-
LUZY
Hörst du nicht die Glocken? Hörst du nicht die Glocken?
And again.
EVE
(grunts)
It was when I was only 7, those airplanes in the sky, oh what have they done, smoke rising in from afar, everywhere terror. This is not right, Luzy-
LUZY
Ding, dang, dong.
And again.
EVE
Oh, I didn't think I would be here so soon, Luzy, darling what have you done. I knew you had it in you, but that's a bit much Isn't it, ah.
LUZY
Ding, dang, dong.
EVE
Everybody hold your horses, I got this, Luzy come o-.
Seeing how Luzy was about to say something Eve leans in for a kiss, in hopes of stopping her from talking.
EVE
(Smile)
You must have been confused, relax, I am here for you.
LUZY
Bruder Jakob, Bruder Jakob.
EVE
Luzy, youu--ugh, Wha, Big sis, who are you?
LUZY
My name is Luzy, dear. Anyways, could you call Jakob?
EVE
My mom told me not to talk to strangers.
LUZY
It's okay, me and Jakob, we are friend you see, come on, if you do that I'll play with you afterwards, Okay?
EVE
Mmmm, oki.
After a short silence.
EVE (CONT'D)
Where am I? What happened?
LUZY
Cael.
EVE
Luzy, why the hell are you here.
LUZY
Well, I'm sorry that you had to see my face just after you woke up.
EVE
and why am I here?
LUZY
Shouldn't you know?
EVE
No, the last thing I remember was getting the news of Eves death, then, I swear I was on my way home, after that everything is black. How long have I been out?
LUZY
one and a half years.
EVE
wha, I, I. (sigh) what now?
LUZY
You and I die.
EVE
Okay.
LUZY
That was surprisingly easy.
CAEL
What use is living without my sister?
LUZY
I guess if you put it that way. Here take this.
EVE
What am I supposed to do with this?
LUZY
It's a needle, filled with some lethal stuff, I had hidden them in this place for a long time, waiting for a good moment. Now, inject it.
EVE
Uhm, I'm not good with needles.
LUZY
Ah I forgot, well there's still some pills from you, left over, if you swallow them all at once, you might still die, but only if you want. It doesn't matter how we do it anyways.
EVE
Hmm, okay.
Luzy takes out some pills and passes them to Eve.
LUZY
Any last words, not that I can tell them anyone.
EVE
I hope I can meet my sister.
LUZY
Me too.
EVE
I don't think my sister is in hell.
LUZY
Why are you so mean, you hate me that much?
EVE
(laughs)
Yes.
Eve swallow the pills and Luzy injects herself with poison.
FADE TO BLACK
After an unknown time, Luzy wakes up, and sees Eve lying next to her. She looks around and finds her eyes glued onto an unexpected person.
LUZY
Huh?
CAEL
Morning.
LUZY
What the hell. What did you do?
CAEL
Woah, is that how you repay someone who saved your life?
LUZY
Saved your life, are you kidding me, do I look like I needed saving? What did you do!
CAEL
You think I didn't know what you were up to? admittedly, I thought it was Eve who came up with this idea, at first, as those needles were lying at her place, but after you told me that she hates needles, I knew it was you.
LUZY
That wasn't my question, you piece of shit.
CAEL
Nothing much, I just switched those needles out, so you wouldn't die, nevertheless I didn't think that She would swallow all those pills.
LUZY
You.
CAEL
But I wonder why you used needles though, didn't you know that she was afraid of them?
LUZY
Shut up.
CAEL
Did you hope she might change her mind? You couldn't let her go after all, huh? But in the end, things turned for the worse I guess, how tragic.
LUZY
Do you believe I won't punch you?
CAEL
Wait, I'm not a believer of violence, and isn't it better like this anyways?
LUZY
Why?
CAEL
You still have hope left in you, I can see it. Unlike Eve, who wasn't willing to accept her fate, you could. So why not accept fate now, and live on. You could live on for those two.
LUZY
what kind of nonsense are you saying?
CAEL
It's not nonsense, live on. Come on.
LUZY
(sigh), it's not like you left me a choice.
Luzy walks up to the unmoving Eve and looks at her in a complicated expression. It was a sad one, but more than everything, it was melancholic. She gets on her knees and offered her prayers.
LUZY
You come over here too.
CAEL
Oh, yes of course.
Cael kneels next to her and starts paying his respects to Eve. Shortly after they stand up and leave.
CAEL
What's your plan now?
LUZY
don't know, become an author or something?
