Scene 4 opens with SVF walking up to Veronica’s house
Johnny/SVF: *knocks on Veronica’s front door*
Veronica: *opens the front door, then sighs* Really? You again?
Johnny/SVF: Yes, really. Now, may I please come inside and maybe stay here for the night?
Veronica: Why?
Johnny/SVF: These demons keep telling me Satan is gonna come after me and try to send me to Hell if I don’t do my job and kill you, and I’ve already failed to do my job several times. So, you don’t have to worry about me trying to kill you anymore.
Veronica: What a relief. *sighs* Sure, you can stay here, but just for tonight.
Johnny/SVF: Thank you. *walks inside Veronica’s house, then winces and shakes his head momentarily*
Veronica: *closes the front door and looks at SVF shaking his head* Is something wrong?
Johnny/SVF: I feel… odd… *grabs his head* I think it’s because *winces* I’m in your house, where God is put above everything else.
Veronica: Sounds like Satan doesn’t want you here. He’s trying to control you.
Johnny/SVF: No shit.
Veronica: Didn’t you say that Satan wanted you to kill the Christians you come across?
Johnny/SVF: Yeah, but… there’s something about you. Something keeping me from taking your life.
Veronica: You said you know who God is, right?
Johnny/SVF: Yeah, why?
Veronica: He’s protecting me. God and I have a strong relationship with each other.
Johnny/SVF: You have a strong “relationship” with God? How is that even possible?!
Veronica: Have you heard of the Bible?
Johnny/SVF: I might have when I was Johnny, but I don’t recall it.
Veronica: Here. *pulls a Bible off of a nearby shelf* Come sit down. *sits on the couch in living room*
Johnny/SVF: *sits on couch next to Veronica*
Veronica: *opens up the Bible*
Johnny/SVF: Are you gonna read my a bedtime story or something?
Veronica: *sighs with frustration* I’m going to read you some verses that focus on Satan.
Johnny/SVF: The Bible has… “verses” that focus on Satan himself?
Veronica: Yes, they do. *flips to John 8:44* It says, ‘You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.’
Johnny/SVF: *scoffs* Well, I can’t say I’m surprised about the murderer part, but I honestly didn’t know that Satan holds the title “Father of Lies.”
Veronica: There’s more where that came from. *flips to James 4:7* This one says, ‘Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.’
Johnny/SVF: Satan will flee from you when you resist him?585Please respect copyright.PENANAKeOOWUAu49
Veronica: Yes, he does.585Please respect copyright.PENANAT7EEYApxH9
Johnny/SVF: *scoffs, then chuckles*585Please respect copyright.PENANAuHLncMpFJX
Veronica: What?585Please respect copyright.PENANAGd9dZqfldC
Johnny/SVF: Ah, nothing. What you said just makes Satan sound like a pansy-ass.585Please respect copyright.PENANAkyrNmJcP1h
Veronica: *snickers* I honestly didn’t think you had any sense of humor.585Please respect copyright.PENANAthIhik0Gc5
Johnny/SVF: Well, you thought wrong.585Please respect copyright.PENANAdSe8rRdmGn
Veronica: *chuckles slightly*585Please respect copyright.PENANAnqB0RORUOx
Johnny/SVF: *sighs* Well, now what?585Please respect copyright.PENANAixIMRC4Ykp
Veronica: I… don’t know.585Please respect copyright.PENANAu3IQmucsWT
Johnny/SVF: What do you usually do when you’re bored?585Please respect copyright.PENANAs87R1aEc3z
Veronica: Sometimes I go out on a walk and clear my head, especially if I’m stressed out about something.585Please respect copyright.PENANAAYVOd6mTrS
Johnny/SVF: What stresses you out?585Please respect copyright.PENANANr969vD9LI
Veronica: School, having to live alone, and a lot of other things I could name off, but you’d probably die listening to me babble on and on about it.585Please respect copyright.PENANAn6QsWvUzZq
Johnny/SVF: *scoffs* And I’ve been meaning to ask you this, but who the hell was that one jockey dude that was running his mouth at me a while ago?585Please respect copyright.PENANAbJIllsLYZh
Veronica: Oh. That’s Xavier Willow.585Please respect copyright.PENANADYH2LvHV7V
Johnny/SVF: Is he your boyfriend or something? Give me a short answer because I’m not in the mood for some damn monologuing right now.585Please respect copyright.PENANAMzYyOPhno4
Veronica: First of all, ew! He’s not my boyfriend! He’s just some dude who’s stereotyping himself as the rude and self-centered jockey that all the cheerleaders love.585Please respect copyright.PENANACfXqIzSbEA
Johnny/SVF: He sounds like quite a player to me.585Please respect copyright.PENANAGy9OGeviOQ
Veronica: Well, he is. He can’t seem to stop dating the girls there. I’m one of the only ones he hasn’t dated because I’ve told him no on countless times.585Please respect copyright.PENANA6FQ3R9oOi5
Johnny/SVF: He’s being a dumbass then by totally ignoring you.585Please respect copyright.PENANAu2Qhuko6qr
Veronica: That’s what it sounds like.585Please respect copyright.PENANAOGNhQ3HelT
Johnny/SVF: Alrighty, I’ve got nothing else to talk about so, I’m just gonna head out. *stands up and walks towards the front door*585Please respect copyright.PENANA8FpjJdGxud
Veronica: Wait, you’re leaving? I thought you said you needed a place to stay!585Please respect copyright.PENANA4ll3piqE2f
Johnny/SVF: I’m gonna go for a walk… clear my mind, just like you do… and see if it works with me. *opens the front door, walks outside, then shuts it*585Please respect copyright.PENANAloZRkhhv9k
Veronica: *sighs* He is definitely one of the strangest people I’ve ever met. Even stranger than Andrew.585Please respect copyright.PENANA7twPCc2RAv
Veronica: *finishes reading her Bible, closes it, and stands up from her couch* Alright, better walk before it gets too dark. *puts her Bible back on her bookshelf, puts her shoes on and her jacket, then opens the front door, walks outside and shuts it*585Please respect copyright.PENANAXvcjhbFrEA
Johnny/SVF: *voiceover, echoing* There’s something about you. Something keeping me from taking your life.585Please respect copyright.PENANASpnITgfslf
Veronica: *shakes her head slightly, then sighs as she walks down the sidewalk*585Please respect copyright.PENANAvkpxJrYHj5
Johnny/SVF: *voiceover, echoing* Something about you…585Please respect copyright.PENANAex5WL200u1
Veronica: *breathes* God, there’s something about this… Johnny guy that really intrigues me and I’m getting the feeling that You really want me to teach him more about who You are. *approaches an alleyway and stops walking as she looks down it*585Please respect copyright.PENANAh38amk5jPk
Demon 2/Martin: *chuckles quietly*585Please respect copyright.PENANATJA2G6H0kN
Veronica: *gasps lightly* Hello? *takes a few steps into the alleyway* Is someone there?585Please respect copyright.PENANAIs64H5zSd3
Demon 2/Martin: *grabs Veronica and holds his hand over her mouth* Hello there, darling.585Please respect copyright.PENANAC9l0RVdkTB
Veronica: *struggles to make Martin release her*585Please respect copyright.PENANA58ar6AFdvk
Demon 2/Martin: Don’t bother fighting back, dear. It’ll only make things harder for me.585Please respect copyright.PENANAqzHjTpp74U
Veronica: *muffled screams*585Please respect copyright.PENANAqDoRiwfOEj
Demon 2/Martin: *laughs sinisterly*585Please respect copyright.PENANAjUBXjLy8xp
Johnny/SVF: *grabs Martin’s shoulders and turns him around, making him release Veronica* Hi there, Martin! *slams Martin against a wall behind him*585Please respect copyright.PENANAeIcaynHf1e
Demon 2/Martin: *groans in pain* I told you! If you didn’t take care of her that I’d take it into my own hands!585Please respect copyright.PENANAlUA5MzXtUK
Johnny/SVF: *looks at Veronica*585Please respect copyright.PENANAZQ2yKMAniw
Veronica: *stands against the other wall, terrified and breathing rapidly*585Please respect copyright.PENANAmuH1AoKwBl
Johnny/SVF: *looks back at Martin* If you want her, you're going through me.585Please respect copyright.PENANAowJkKI1Nlb
Demon 2/Martin: *sighs* Fine then. *enforces his claws and slashes SVF across the face*585Please respect copyright.PENANApL6Q3Wass0
Johnny/SVF: *shouts and growls*585Please respect copyright.PENANAkNlbqcyjpp
Demon 2/Martin: *swings his claws at SVF*585Please respect copyright.PENANApWlcZ4H1dw
Johnny/SVF: *catches Martin’s claws, headbutts him, then knees him in the stomach*585Please respect copyright.PENANAQBzsob4IZD
Demon 2/Martin: *groans in pain*585Please respect copyright.PENANAV4CbvDXDhg
Johnny/SVF: You know, I’ve been thinking about it, and it seems like Satan doesn’t want to do all this work himself because he thinks you guys won’t fail him. *scoffs* Looks like he was wrong. *slashes Martin across the chest*585Please respect copyright.PENANA3EmELDb90L
Demon 2/Martin: *falls over dead and vanishes*585Please respect copyright.PENANAWkCIcjChuV
Johnny/SVF: *turns towards Veronica* Are you okay? Did he do anything to you?585Please respect copyright.PENANAtIoyvzp3BG
Veronica: *stutters* No. I’m okay. *hugs SVF* Thank you. *stops hugging SVF*585Please respect copyright.PENANAaMpQTsvZAE
Johnny/SVF: No problem. Those guys are really starting to piss me off.585Please respect copyright.PENANAiBtFr6xvai
Veronica: Same here.585Please respect copyright.PENANAmQ1wZnasSw
Johnny/SVF: By the way, while I was walking, before I came and saved your life, I heard this deep… voice.585Please respect copyright.PENANAH8c4Plbdfb
Veronica: Wait, are you serious?!585Please respect copyright.PENANAquC5Fwapwd
Johnny/SVF: Yeah. I’m almost convinced that… maybe it was God talking to me, but I couldn’t really make out what the voice was saying. It sounded a bit like “Resist the devil. He will flee from you.”585Please respect copyright.PENANA90QLKUpNI6
Veronica: That was James 4:7! God was speaking to you!585Please respect copyright.PENANA08lHNSc8LW
Johnny/SVF: In all honesty, I feel like I would never have heard God if I didn’t run into you.585Please respect copyright.PENANAXdvIAIozn5
Veronica: The Big Man works in some pretty mysterious ways, as people say it.585Please respect copyright.PENANAdD0SooHOkp
Johnny/SVF: *scoffs* We should probably head back to your house before we run into another demon or something.585Please respect copyright.PENANANits9YZu9k
Veronica: Good call.585Please respect copyright.PENANAWEAv2OKkem
