*Jamie opens her bedroom door, but she hears whispers*

Jamie: .. Probably nothing..

*Jamie enters her room, the whispers are more louder*

Jamie: Casey..?

*Jamie looks down to take off her shoes*

*As Jamie bends, she unknowingly dodges the knife from behind*

Jamie: Huh? What was that sound?

Jamie: Probably the wind?

*Jamie looks up to see a knife on the wall*

Jamie's Mother: Where are we?

Doctor: Look here, the only way we can save your daughter is..

Jamie's Mother: Is..?!

Doctor: There's only one option..

*The doctor grabs something from his pocket*

Jamie's Mother: Oh.. i see.. you have messed with the WRONG GIRL!

Doctor: Say yes, or else..

Jamie's Mother: I keep having that flashback..

*Jamie's Mother gets out of her bed and goes to the bathroom*

Jamie's Mother: Does it mean i have to tell her about it?

Jamie's Mother: I mean.. its not a big deal!

*Jamie's Mother looks at herself in the mirror*

Jamie's Mother: I should tell her when shes 18 right?

Jamie's Mother: I should tell her when she comes back!

*Jamie's Mother groans*

Jamie’s Mother: I just have this feeling Jamie is in danger. I probably should go check..

Jamie's Mother: What does that have to do with me?!

Casey: I will make you turn on your own daughter and you WILL kill her!

Jamie's Mother: No! Its not possible..

Jamie: You wont do that!

Casey: Then i will kill her myself!!

Jamie: Casey, you are betraying me!

Casey: I dont care, i never wanted to be your friend, i just wanted to get close to you so i can make your mother turn on you!

Jamie: You dont have to do this you know..

Casey: Im already dead, what will you do? Call the police?

Jamie's Mother: No.. she didnt do it in purpose.. it was an accident!
