Fairytale: The Haunting of Helena Page #2

---

She's a very sweet girl.

Please, just tell me what my

daughter has done.

Well, she bought these from

some of the other children.

I don't know why.

Bought?

Yes, with this money.

Are you a collector of old

coins?

So where did you find

the money?

Helena.

Can you at least tell me what

You intend to do with these... With

these teeth?

They're for the fairy. Helena, please.

Now she's angry with my teacher.

She wants her teeth.

So how long has Helena been

displaying this sort of behavior?

Or should we say disorder?

Since she lost her first tooth.

And this fairy supposedly

lives in her closet, does she?

Yes.

Well, children do tend to

have very vivid imaginations.

I mean, I remember when I was a

kid, I was totally convinced I

had a ghost under my bed.

Doctor,

believe me, this is different.

My daughter's behavior is

completely out of character.

She's obsessed with this fairy

and...These teeth.

I mean, I don't know.

Could it be a head injury from

the accident?

Well, nothing came up on the

cat scan, but, uh, if it would

make you feel better, we can

scan her again.

Yes.

Thank you, doctor.

May I show these to a

colleague of mine?

Of course.

Oh, just one thing.

Helena's never suffered from

hallucinations, has she?

No.

Have you?

No.

Um,

anyone in your family?

No, absolutely not.

Well, I really wouldn't worry about anything.

It's probably much less serious

than you think.

She may have heard a scary story

from one of her friends or seen

something on TV.

We'll be in touch.

(Closes, locks

door) Ma'am. Yes?

Is this your daughter's?

You speak English?

I learned it from the

from the American soldiers many years ago.

Your daughter draws well.

Thanks. I'll tell her.

She calls me scrooge, doesn't she?

Oh, please don't be offended.

Helena loves giving people

nicknames.

I know.

I was a child once too.

Certain things scare children.

Yes, of course.

Well, good night, and thanks

again.

You must leave this house

before it is too late.

And why must we leave?

Leave now.

I won't be able to help you

later.

Thanks, but we don't need

anyone's help.

(Clattering) You can come out now.

Come on, darling.

Let's try to be on time today.

Helena.

I'm not going

to school today.

And why is that, miss, hmm?

Why aren't you going to school?

Because miss cavendish is

dead.

That's not funny, Helena.

Now, come on, get up.

One minute.

Hello?

When did this happen?

Thank you for calling. And let

me know when the funeral is.

It was the fairy, mum.

The fairy in the closet.

Hello, this is Dr. Patrick

speaking.

Do you remember me?

Hello, doctor.

Of course, I do.
