(Blackwater house. Layra's bedroom.

Later in the same night, Laura is still very distressed at the night's occurances.

She is in her white nightgown, sitting alone on her bed)



LAURA



If I could only dream this world away

I'd awake

In you arms

If I could keep this bitter life at bay

Wide awake

In your arms



The vow that keeps me from you

I cannot undo

I'm lost

Lost in a fantasy that can't come true



If I could only dream this world away

I'd awake

In your arms

I long to sleep forever

Dreaming only of you

I'm lost

How many nights like this can I go through?



(Marian enters. Laura jumps-her nerves are on edge)



MARIAN



I am sorry, I didn't mean to startle you. Oh, Laura, you look so pale!



LAURA



What are they doing?



MARIAN



They have retired to the library



LAURA



Stay here with me!



MARIAN



We can't just wait like victims

I'll find out what they're up to



LAURA



I'm so frightened

Please don't leave me



MARIAN



We must know what their next move is.



LAURA



No!



MARIAN



Laura, they don't scare me

Hush, now, go to sleep.



(Laura kneels beside her bed. Marian exits)
