Texty: Soundtrack Artists. If I Could Only Dream This World Away.

(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)
