                    In Jesus’ Name I command you to                        
                    leave right...NOW!                                     
                                                                           
          facing the crucifix to Emily.                                    
                                                                           
                              EMILY                                        
                    I win *Laughter* I win.                                
                                                                           
          Emily makes a loud Screeching sound, sort of like getting        
          possesed/getting a fit, pulling her body up as hard as she       
          can, she holds this for a few seconds then she drops onto        
          the bed seeming like the Evil Spirit has left.                   
                                                                           
          The Priest takes a closer look at Emily her face back to         
          normal,                                                          
                                                                           
          he brushes her hair to the side. His face looked ecstatic as     
          he sees that Emily’s back to normal                              
                                                                           
          The door slowly opens.                                           
                                                                           
                              JENNA                                        
                    Father..                                               
                                                                           
          Priest shifts his attention to Jenna,                            
                                                                           
          To his terror, He sees what’s become of Jenna,                   
                                                                           
          Her face Pales as rice, blood Marks her face and clothes,        
          she holds a long bloody chef’s knife.                            
                                                                           
                              JENNA

                    I told you.. I win.

          Then we hear a brief scream/shriek and a body falling down.

          The Priest lies Dead on the Bed his neck slit end to end.        
                                                                           
          Jenna stands over the Priests’ lifeless body. Blood both on      
          the knife and around her mouth                                   
                                                                           
          Jenna walks towards Emily who just woke from a few days of       
          being possessed her eyes blurry and can only see the figure      
          walking towards her.

          Close up on Jenna’s face

                         (Exorcised voice)                                 
                    Death be not proud. Though some                        
                    have called thee mighty and                            
                    dreadful, thou art not so. Though                      
                    soonest our best men with thee go,                     
                    rest of their bones and soul’s                         
                    delivery but those thou dost                           
                    think’st thou dost overthrow die                       
                    not, poor death nor canst thou                         
                    kill/stop me....                                       
                                                                           
          She looks straight into the camera, frowning seeming sad...      
          she looks down then looks back at the camera, leaving us         
          with a spine tingling smile with blood dripping out her          
          mouth
