Awaken the Shadowman Page #4

Synopsis: Estranged for years since a devastating and horrible tragedy back in 1964, siblings Adam and Jake reunite once again when unexpectedly, the former receives an emergency phone call from his brother informing him that their widowed mother Evette has been inexplicably missing for days. Without delay, Adam troubled by the alarming news, returns to his hometown with his wife Beth and baby Emma, only to be awkwardly welcomed with open arms by the pervading members of the local cult-like bereavement group called "Gateways" and their rather cryptic guru leader Lawrence. Undoubtedly, there is more than meets the eye, moreover, as the two brothers search for answers in the secretive neighbourhood, at the same time, the dark presence of a grim and haunting spectre seems to be strongly attracted by infant Emma's innocence. Is there a chance of eluding the malignant otherworldly visitor?

I should know?

Why would I tell you? Huh?

You left after the fires.

Would you have come back?

Of course I didn't

tell you about mom.

I handled it on my own,

like I always do.

Why would I even bother you

or involve you at all?

You're part of the reason

she got this way.

Really?

You know, you got a lot of balls

putting this on me

after what you've done.

You think I would want

to live here

next to you and Christy

after what you did?

Do you have any idea

how humiliating that was for me?

What, do you think it was just

easy for us or something?

It's not like I planned

this to happen.

- That's bullshit.

- God, I've told you,

nothing happened

while you two were together.

I told you this.

Either way, man,

you don't do sh*t like this.

- You knew I loved her.

- Loved her.

Did you? Hmm?

You dated for what,

not even a year?

I've been married to her

for four years.

How are you still

holding this against me?

You still hung up on her

or what?

I'm glad you're happy.

I, um...

I just wanted to...

I just wanted

to start by apologizing

to all of you.

I, uh...

I know I fought a lot

of this at first,

but the thought

of losing somebody

was just so horrific to me.

The only guilt that I had

is because I wasn't

as strong as all of you...

Or my wife.

And I kept thinking to myself,

did I... did I miss something?

Did I do something wrong?

It was like the light

was never clear to me.

And it's taken some time,

but we, uh...

We're finally happy now.

Your grief is your own,

and no one else can tell you

when it's time to move on,

but you can find

relief in knowing

that those who have moved on

have found a better place,

a clean slate.

I promise you,

you will get there.

You can start over, too.

I'm so proud of you.

You both have given up so much,

but think of the rewards

you'll receive

of the life now unfolding

in front of you.

Whenever you feel weak,

remember...

This will ground you.

It's a symbol of strength

and regrowth.

- Glad you came.

- Oh, hi.

- Oh, my gosh, so cute.

- Thank you.

That was a wonderful speech.

- I'm sorry.

- Why?

Is there something you're not

telling me about my mom?

I told you everything I know.

- Watchers.

- Watchers?

My mom had an interesting

doll collection.

Oh! Her babies.

Evette just loved those old

porcelain antique dolls.

Really?

She blacked out their eyes,

tore off their clothes,

and wrote watchers

on all of them.

Do you know anything about that?

Oh, evette.

Let's push our energy towards

evette's return.

This is a place of peace,

safety, and understanding.

We support each other,

and right now we're in support

of finding evette.
