| Mulder and Scully are exiting the police station, about to get in their car. Mulder (irritated) What do you mean it's not an x-file? Scully Mulder, I think what we're seeing here is a very disturbed little girl. We should try not to feed in to her delusions or we could emotionally scar her for life! I mean, we're not social service workers, we're FBI Agents. Mulder Fine, you go ahead and stay out of it. I'm doing a background check on her, maybe get a little more information about her friend Ella... although it would help a lot if you could possibly get ahold of Ella's autopsy data. Scully tries to look stern. Mulder Pleeease? He makes a puppy-dog face. Scully's expression changes to a smile. Scully Oh, alright, alright, I'll help you. They close the car doors and drive away. Meanwhile, back with Alice, a psychiatrist is trying to get Alice to open her eyes. Alice, of course, is refusing angrily. Doctor (as kindly as he can) Come on Alice. I've heard that you have the most darling blue eyes. Why won't you let me see them? Alice (angry) I told you, you'll get hurt! Doctor (showing only slightly that he is getting irritated) Please Alice? Keeping your eyes closed will only hurt you. Alice (sarcastic) As opposed to the people I love? I'd rather keep them closed! The doctor is getting impatient. Alice has put her hands over her eyes now. The doctor tries pulling her hands off. Alice is struggling and saying, no! no! but the doctor persists. Eventually he gets what he wants. Alice screams in her child's voice. Doctor Oh my God... Alice has her eyes opened wide. They're red. Hollow red. No white, not even pupils, but bright, scarlet red. The doctor backs up against the wall, cringing. Alice (in a demonic, unearthly voice, but with her real voice underlying it) I told you not to do that. Those eyes are more peircing than any other feature on her face. Suddenly a pen flies toward the Doctor. It stabs him in the heart. He slowly slides down the wall, leaving a trail of scarlet blood behind. It suddenly turns to a darker shade. Alice blinks and her eyes turn blue again. Realizing what has happened, she collapses and is out cold in her chair. |
