DEMONACIAN

Scene 1

(Dark blue shadowed ocean. Huge ship named 'mighty sea lion.' Fully packed. Passengers are crowding inside the ship. Between the crowd are the two main characters of this drama - a mother and her teenage son.)

Narrator 1: Far away from the land of titans and Rome's greatest empire, a sea horse ship has been sailing for many days towards the Andaman island.

Narrator 2: Look over there! Inside that ship, there are our play's lead roles - a Mother and her son.

Narrator 1: True! I just saw them.

Narrator 2: Mother's name is Rosum, and Johnson is the son's name. Recall all the time, audience.

Narrator 1: The ship has now reached Andaman island. Could you hear that? Wow, what a melody. All passengers are singing a particular song! Hear her elegance, her melody.

Narrator 2: Yes! It's a folk.

(Following the rhythm of the song's beats, the ship slowly sails and arrives on the stage floor. All the travelers onboard the vessel move their heads and hands according to the song's beats.)

Song:

Ho holo holo holo holo

Ho holo holo holo holo

Ho holo holo holo holo

Holo holo ho

Ship has been sailing for centuries

Still has never halted

Jump from ship as soon as possible

Never let the almighty stop.

Move move move towards destiny

Move carrying all the love and needy

Move towards the infinity

Move forever on the waters

Narrator 1: Take a look brother! The ship has just arrived at its station. Look at that crowd.

Narrator 2: All the voyagers are boarding out. Their hands are occupied with luggage and carriers.

Narrator 1: Our leads have just boarded out. Rosum and John, welcome to Andaman island!

Narrator 2: Do you know an interesting fact about Ms. Rosum? Her native place is Andaman. Her previous ancestors were from this same place. Their original house is standing right here on this island.

Narrator 1: Yes, I know. What a pity, she just lost her beloved husband in a military accident.

Narrator 2: Ya, what a tragedy! All plays are plays of fate. Oh! Now, I realized why the old house was being decorated and rebuilt. Rosum family is moving in!

Narrator 1: Yes. Rosum has been transferred here due to her job. She is now the new dean of St. Mary's University.

Narrator 2: Come on bro. They are heading towards the house. I think we should too and follow them!

Scene-2

(New place for John, but a very emotionally attached old antique home. John and Rosum are arranging their households in the house.)

John: Mom, I like this house a lot! What a positive vibe!

Rosum: Yes, you would definitely!  This is the house of your grandparents. I'm originally from this area.

John: Yes, mom! (Frustration) For about thousands of times, I know you said this. Look over, Mom! Look over there! What a great huge old pillar!

Rosum: Wow! Those great days! When I was a teenager like you, I was hiding behind this pillar playing hide and seek.

John: With whom? As of my knowledge, you too were an alone child like me.

Rosum: Yes, Joe, but I had a best friend named Bella living in my neighborhood. Look over there, Joe. (Rosum points outside the window) Could you see that house? She was living there. She used to visit my place, and we played here.

John: I imagine that Ms. Bella, too, didn't have friends or siblings.

Rosum: She sure did! She had a brother.

John: Didn't he want to play along with you?

Rosum: He was a book worm! He and his books only had existence in his house. He was a social freak. He hated interacting with the world, even with his own sister! We, too, called him a dreamer for fun.

John: Sorry for him. I think he had witnessed some shocking events when he was young, so he had isolated himself from the rest of the world.

Rosum: Yes! He witnessed his parents' death in a car accident. This had shocked his mind, I believe. But, he was a lonely person. He was strange. He forgot to even stare or take a glance through the window for fresh air! He had some deep thoughts in his mind. He usually stared at the sky all the time!

John: What was his real name?

Rosum: His name was Jean Joseph Patterson.

John: I have heard this name somewhere before! Where? (himself) Would he be in the same house now?

Rosum: Don't know, maybe. My friend Bella married a millionaire in those days and flew to America, and I shifted to Rome with your dad. Now, I am again all alone! (Started to cry after remembering her loved ones who tragically died in the military accident)

John: (John too started crying remembering his father)

Rosum: (Trying to control his sadness) Leave this topic, Joe. What happened has happened and over! He will surely be forever in our hearts. Go to neighbor's and make some new friends.

(John ran out of the house, swiping his tears)

Scene-3

(Neighbour house. The door is locked. John knocks on the door.)

John: Anyone there?

(Door slowly opens. A girl of approximately John's age opens the door.)

Girl: Oh! Is that you the one who has shifted from Rome to here who would stay next door? (Questions john)

John: Yes, what's your name? (Enquiring)

Girl: I am Hilary. I live with my father here. What's your name?

John: My name is John Tronimi. Me and my mom would live next door. As I don't have friends here to know this place, could you help me?

Hilary: Congratulations Mr. John, you have made a new friend (and laughs)

John: He…he… (John too laughs)

(But, within no time, a middle-aged man appears behind Hilary. He blocks the way of John.)

Man: Who the hell are you? (Angrily)

John: Sir, I am John. I have moved into your neighborhood.

Man: (Turning towards Hilary) Get in hilly!

Hilary: But why father? (Feeling sad)

Man: (Angrily) Just do what I have said to you! Otherwise, you are grounded.

(Feeling sad, looking towards John, Hilary vanishes to a room)

Man: (Making angry face) You boy! Be far away from Hili and me. If I see you again, I will kill you!

John: (Horrified) Hut… why?

Strange man: If you wish to stay alive, be controlled by my words. Otherwise, you'll face severe consequences. Now, clear my path.

(Strange man then turns around and moves inside his house and shuts the door with a big bang. John, too, heads to his home, feeling sad and overthinking.)

Scene – 4

( )

Narrator 2: What a scene! Our head Joe aka John has made a friend within a day! (Leaves)

John: Champ….. What do your parents do for their living?

Champ: Joe... My father is a Bio-Scientist, and my mother is an environmentalist. She is now progressing her Ph.D. In the field of ENV.

John: Oh! I see. You're a born genius then! Visit my place soon.

Champ: Sure! Today I am free. I'll come today.

John: Oh! Great! I will wait. Bye.

Champ: Bye.

(Two leaves)

Scene – 5

(Champ has arrived at John's house)

John: Champ, Look outside the window. Sun has fallen to oceans. I think it's 7 p.m.

Champ: (Looks out the window and turns to his wristwatch) Yes! It is 6:57, good guess.

John: Wow! Yes.

Champ: I think I should leave now. Bye. It was a great day spent. Thank you.

John: Yup! It was. Bye. (Waves hand at Champ)

(Champ was about to leave the house, there was a ting-tong sound coming from the old antique clock indicating it was 7 p.m. One minute silence. Suddenly there came a loud crowling sound. It was from the neighbor's house! John ran towards his window, Champ who was about to leave the house was alerted and ran towards John's window!)

Champ: What was that sound? It really blasted my ears.

(They witnessed the shadows of two people in the neighbor's window. Within a moment, another giant shadow appeared.)

John: Yesterday night, I, too, witnessed this incident, Champ! Something strange has been happening in the next house. I am sure that one shadow is of my friend Hilary, and the other is of that freaky big dad of her. What is that big dark shadow? After this incident, the middle-aged man drives away with his old car somewhere. After 2-3 hours, he returns. (As soon as John says this, the car starts) Look over there. The car has started.

Champ: You should have asked that man about this!

John: Ask him? He is a demon himself. He doesn't talk to anyone. He doesn't let me talk to Hilary either. When I visited yesterday, he said he would break my legs if I saw Hilary once again!

Champ: OK. OK. We should peek into their house now. Will your mom leave you alone?

John: She? If she sleeps at 6 o'clock evening, she doesn't wake even if a grenade explodes beside her.

Champ: Ha Ha Ha. (Laughs very loud) Do you have any torch with you?

--

Scene – 6

(Night sky has covered everywhere, hence the torch light. A dog is barking. The two friends are moving in the dark. Only loud voices are heard there.)

Champ: How to break in the house? Joe?

John: Look over there. A window, we break in from there.

Champ: Oh, Great! But how to climb?

John: (Turns around) With the help of this ladder!

(John and Champ lifted the ladder lying on the wall of Joe's house and pushed it towards Hilary's.)

Champ: A genius friend! Start climbing.

(Two turns around and makes sure the surrounding clear, climbs the ladder, and crosses the window line! They are now officially thieves!)

--

Scene – 7

(It is dark inside. Torch is lit. They are climbing the stairs of the house. Light leads them to a gigantic bookshelf! Seeing a lot of Books, Champ gets mesmerized and picks one book from the shelf.)

Champ: Wow! Great. It's a Book of J.P.!

John: What? J.P.? I am his biggest fan!

(After a moment, light of the stairs turns on. Sounds of the footsteps! Scared of the sound, they tried to hide themselves.)

Hilary: Who is that? (The light of the library turns on.)

(She sees John at once and gets scared) What are you doing here, John? How did you come here? Who is this? (Turns towards Champ)

(She sees a book in the hands of Champ – She fades!)

Hilary: You! Don't open that book. Please don't open it.

Narrator 1: But, what to do? Hilary's words were too late for Champ. He had opened the book. Suddenly, there were no sound effects of the city! It felt like the whole sky has hit the oceans. Lightening, which has occurred from nowhere, strikes the house. Look, Look over there! He has returned! Demon Dummy has returned!

Voice: Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! I am free! Ha Ha Ha Ha! I am free forever! He He He.

Hilary: (Nervous) Who, who are you?

Voice: (Behind Scene) I am your brother! Ha Ha Ha.

Hilary: But... But I don't have any brother.

Voice: (Behind Scene) I am me. Your brother! Where is your father? Sorry Sorry…. Where is my beloved Dad? Ha Ha Ha.

(Everyone in Shock)

Voice: You, Hill! I am not here to kill you all. Your father will be murdered by me very soon. Ha Ha Ha. Where is that idiot? After killing him, I will rule this whole world. Ha Ha Ha.

Champ: Who are you….. You… (Scared)

Voice: Who are you, Maddy? Leave it! You are the freedom given to me. Ha Ha Ha! Hili, Where is that idiot? That nonsense? He will be killed. Ha Ha Ha!

Hilary: What are you talking about? You coward! (Angry) First, show your face! You faceless nonsense?

Voice: (Behind Scene) You! How dare you call me Duong. How dare you? Crop your Tongue! You are not even tall as Chilly, you silly kiddo. Here I come. Ha Ha Ha.

(Demonacian appears – Everyone looking at him becomes scared.)

Champ: You!!!

John: You…. You are that same creepy old dummy, Demonacian!

Hilary: How come you two know him?

Demon: You, the one, wearing a cap! What's your name? Leave it. Leave it. It doesn't matter. How do you know me?

John: Hil. Hi – Hilary. He is the Dummy Demon, no? (neutralized) How come he be your brother? He has been dead for now 10 years, right? About him, J.P. himself has written a book, no?

Demon: You crazy little big mouth! Don't pronounce the name of that idiot J.P.! He wrote in this book that I am dead for 10 years. So now I am dead. If he hadn't written I am dead, I would have been alive. Now I am a ghost, because of him! I'll take him this time with me to the hell! Ha Ha Ha!

Hilary: Hey Demon! Will you kill my father?

Champ: Mean! You are the daughter of famous writer J.P.!

John: Wait a second! What's the full form of J.P.?

Hilary: Jean Patterson.

John: Oh! Now I see, means my Mom's friend, Bella, is your Aunt. From this point of view, this creepy demon is your brother, right? (Hilary nodded)

John: Hey Demonacian! You were born because of J.P.'s pen, and you were killed because of J.P.'s pen. You were born and died in the story, right? But you were not dead. If you had been dead in this book, how did you come out of it as soon as Champ opened the book? If you kill J.P. in real life, will it be justice?

Demon: Don't talk about Justice? If you were trapped in this book, you'd understand the suffering I faced. Stinking smells from the old pages! Cockroaches moving all over you, pricking you by its sharp mustaches, their kiddos, and stinking legs, why did I ever born! Oh, my Demon!

Champ: Demon! As you are already free now, don't harm J.P. He is our favorite author. We need him badly.

Hilary: Yes! I, too, need my Dad, please, brother!

Demon: Never! I am wasting my time chatting with you, losers! I will see you after I find and kill our beloved J.P.!

(Demon took a scent bottle from his pocket and sprayed on three teenagers, then fainted.)

Narrator: That was not a scent bottle. It was Chloroform.

(Narrators also fell to the ground)

Demon: I will take all these books with me and open them. My friends, too, will help me find and kill that idiot.

(Demon steals all the books from the shelf and vanishes. Narrators wake up first and vanish, and then those three teenagers wake up.)

Hilary: OMG! He took all the books!.

Champ: Now, Only invisible girl, Twinkle, can save us from this apocalypse!

Hilary: Yes! She is the main reason for the death of Demonian in the book. But, he took that book too!

John: Oh my God! Please save us!

--

Scene – 8

(Demon came to the cricket ground with the books and started speaking)

Demon: Ha Ha Ha! I am Demonia, the Great Demon! I am the son of that Old Dog J.P. Not his own son. A character created by his pen. I am made up of white wax! Yes, I am interested in killing J.P. because he wrote I am dead in his book 10 years ago. So I am dead! I am now a Ghost, Vyaa….)

(Acting like Ghost)

You don't know that I am Ghost! Oh! I will not waste my time anymore!

(Saying this, he started to open books one after one! Interestingly, deadly monsters came out of books one by one! Between these bad monsters, a good grid caped from the middle.)

Demon: Ha Ha Ha! My friends, you are all free now! Sit somewhere. I am giving you my speech.

(Everybody sat)

Demon: We are now free!

All: Hurre! Hurre!

Demon: This island should belong to us from now. I will be the president. You all will be my ministers. First of all, I will kill J.P. Tell me, what will you do for your sake?

(Each one makes their intro and their job. Demon praises them. But some become leftover, so Demon gives them work.)

Demon: You're Drunkel! Force people to drink Alcohol. (Drunkel nods) You're Killer! Kill everyone that doesn't obey my orders! Next, you're Blocker! You are now an official minister of black money preparation. You're Stoler! You gather funds for me by robbing the public.

Twinkle: Sir! Then what should I do? I will help people by protecting them from you! Ha Ha Ha

(But none notices Twinkle and her voice)

Demon: You all do your work. Then we shall catch that J.P.!

Jelly: O.K. Boss!

(All goes March Fasting)

Scene – 9

(J.P.'s House, three are sitting very upset. Car's sound traumatized everyone)

Hilary: Oh my God! Dad has come! Demon took all books. What shall we do?

(Footsteps)

John: We are dead!

J.P.: (Seeing John) Why are you here? Who is the other one? (Turned towards the bookshelf, found it empty)

What! Where are the books?

Hilary: (Crying) Dad, Dad, This Champ opened a book by mistake. It was of….that Demonacian! He came out of the book and said he would kill you and took all other books with him!

J.P.: What! Oh my God! (Turning towards John) Did I not tell you to stay away from my daughter and me? Now see!

John: Sorry, Mr. J.P. Sir.

Champ: Sorry, sir! This is all my fault.

J.P.: What happened is over. Sorry is not the solution. I should do something now.

John: Sir, I have read all your books. You are my Idol, tell me, how can I help you?

J.P.: When I was on my way back home, I saw my Twinkle girl walking across the street. I then already realized that the event had occurred. But I never imagined this severeness. We should stop Demon or else he will kill me and make this Island a living hell. Demon's shadow was appearing every night at 7 p.m. He was asking me to free him.

John: Oh! Now I see.

J.P.: I should write one new book. In that, I should kill all those characters. Only then can we save the world. Wait for me without making a noise. I will bring my magical typewriter from the ground floor.

(Steps down)

Scene – 10

(Narrators speak of the Bad works of Monsters)

Narrator 1: Look at those six Demons. They are disturbing the peace of the whole village.

Narrator 2: Look over there, Twinkle is protecting the people!

Narrator 1: How good is she? She can be seen for only 7 good seconds.

Narrator 2: Look at Drunkel! Forcing people to drink alcohol!

Narrator 1: Wow….. Twinkle untied those people.

Narrator 2: Look over there. No. No. No! Killer is about to kill them.

Narrator 1: Twinkle tickled the killer. See how the killer is laughing. Ha Ha Ha.

Narrator 2: No No! Stealer is stealing from some homes.

Narrator 1: See there. Twinkle is beating stoler. He should get those beatings.

Narrators: (Relief) Good people always get lucky.

Song: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

How I wonder what you are!

Scene – 11

(J.P. is typing in his magical typewriter. Three, standing behind him, are reading stories inside their eyes. But, Demon has arrived with the Jelly)

Demon: Oh! Finally! Father, daddy, what are you doing here? Dad, you have done so much harm to me. You wrote I am dead, and now, I am dead. Next time, I will take you too with me. Ha Ha. Ha.

J.P.: No No. (Scared)

Demon: My loving Dad….. I will not harm you! I will just kill you. Is that O.K.? (Turning to Jelly) Jelly, bring him to me. Ha.Ha Ha.

Jelly: Yes, Boss. (Turning to J.P.)

J.P.: Wait! Wait two more minutes. One page is still pending. Then you can do anything with me.

Demon: Ha Ha Ha! Do you think I am a fool? Jelly, swallow him.

Jelly: Yes Boss!

(Jelly caught J.P. firmly and swallowed him! Three get scared and sit in the corner. J.P. shouts)

J.P.: I should not have created these creatures. I am facing my fate. Oh Jesus, Help me!

Demon: Ha Ha Ha! I am now a King! This world belongs to me. I will go and tell this news to my army!

(Demon disappears)

J.P.: Oh, John! Could you write?

John: Sir, I have read all of your stories. I write too!

J.P.: Then finish the book.

John: Yes, sir.

J.P.: John, You can't write here anymore because Jelly will soon occupy this whole building. Go to the top-most place in this town and write. Hurry! Fast!.

Hilary: Dad! (Crying)

Champ: How can we leave you alone?

J.P.: I will live. Jelly can't kill me.

Hilary: Be careful, dad. We will go to the Beram forest. It's in Volcano Mountain and isn't far from here. Hurry.

J.P.: Best of Luck.

(They will run with Type-writer)

Scene – 12

(J.P.'s House, Jelly is expanding. Twinkle appears with two bottles in her hands.)

J.P.: Twinkle! My love. Release me.

Twinkle: O.K. Father! I brought Salt and Pepper.

Jelly: No No. Don't.

Twinkle: Take it…. (She pours Salt and Pepper on Jelly)

Jelly: No! Burning Burning! (Vomiting J.P., Jelly ran for his life.)

J.P.: (Happy) Twinkle, I am proud to write you. Come with me to Beram Forest.

(Went)

Scene – 13

Narrator 1: Look, John is coming.

Narrator 2: Yes. He has finished the last page!

Narrator 1: The end is only left to type!

John: Hili and Champ, I have finished it!

(All Dance in Joy)

John: Only "The End" is left.

(But Demon appears)

Demon: You Dogs! (Ties all three to Trees)

J.P.: (Comes with Twinkle) Hello my dear son, Demon!

Demon: (Surprised) How….. How come you are here! (Throws a knife to his hand) Ha Ha Ha! Now how will you type?

Hilary: Dad!

J.P.: (Shouting in pain)

Twinkle: (Turning to Demon) Brother! You are really bad. That's why I am not visible to you. How dare you kill my father! Wait and watch, (Demon doesn't hurt Twinkle) Dad, shall I write "The End"?

J.P.: Type, daughter!

Demon: How could your daughter type? She is tied. Ha Ha Ha!

Twinkle: (Types) Good Lives, Worst Dies, The End.

(For sudden, all of the bad monsters appear and surround the Demon)

Demon: No No! Back to the book! (All the monsters say the same and disappear forever)

(Twinkle runs towards the Three and unties them)

Three: Who is she? (Seeing Twinkle)

J.P.: Is she visible to you! She is the only good character created by me. Ha Ha Ha. (laughs) Her name is Twinkle!

Everybody: (Singing)

Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

How I wonder what you are?

Up above the Words so high

Like a diamond in the Sky.

Champ: One selfie J.P. Sir! I am your biggest fan! Yay Cheers.!

J.P.: (Scared) O.K., But don't say Chares! If you say Chares, you die!

John: Ha Ha Ha. (Laughs aloud)

(Everybody laughs seeing John, including the Narrator)

John: One last question, Mr. J.P., my mom, Rosum, said you were very strange in childhood when she came to speak to you, you were avoiding her!

J.P.: Oh, really! Are you the sone of Rosum? Did she want to talk to me? I thought I had no friends, and I even thought she only wanted to talk to me to tease me. So I created all these evil characters because everybody feared me in my childhood. I'll speak with Rosum tomorrow. I never thought or imagined that anyone wanted to make me his or her friend.

(Good Lives, Worst Dies)

'THE END'
