A/N: Yes I do realize there may be some inconsistansies with Millie's speech but I never live in the 1600's so I wouldn't know exactly how they spoke.

Scene 3: Water

Setting- Still in the forest the sound of water in growing in strength. Cara is running through the forest she still holds the two jugs.

Cara’s Thoughts in the Background: I can’t stop. I’m so close. I see the water in the distance. I’m almost there. So tired… Keep going… Water…

Something jumps out in front of Cara. Cara stops and falls over

Cara: (stands up) Oh my God! What’s going on? Who are you?

Millie Sodder: (sits up panting) I’m Millicent Sodder of Eatonville.

Cara: (picks up the jug’s straps and refastens them) Well Millicent Sodder of Eatonville, I am in quite a rush to get to the river.

Millie: (stands up) The river’s banks are right there. Why are you in such a rush?

Cara: (walking towards the river) I have friends waiting for me back at my camp.

Millie: (following Cara) Camp? You mean you’re not from a town? You’re not from around here?

Cara: No, I’m not from around here.

Millie: Why do you dress in men’s clothes?

Cara: (looks back at Millie’s dress and then out in front of her) Where I come from these are girls’ clothes as well.

Millie: Oh.

Cara’s Thoughts in the Background: Okay, if she thinks these are men’s clothes then we must have ripped through time. Damn. What now? Wait maybe we’re just in Amish country.

Cara: (voice) So Millicent.

Millie: My friends call me Millie.

Cara: Okay, Millie where are we?

Millie: We are in the Salem Woods.

Cara: (stops) Salem Woods. I thought you said you lived in Eatonville.

Millie: (walks to Cara’s side and stops) I do but if you walk through the woods by Eatonville, eventually you’ll reach Salem.

Cara: (begins to walk again) Salem… Salem, Massachusetts?

Millie: (follows Cara) Yes.

The two girls sit down by the river

Cara: (cups her hands, sticks the in the water and drinks) Thank God!

Millie: (does the same) What’s so special about this water?

Cara: (sticks one jug into the water) I haven’t had a drink for over 10 hours.

Millie: That is a long time.

Cara: (sticks the other jug in the water) Yes it is.

Millie: (looks at the jugs) Those are awfully large pitchers.

Cara: (putting one around her arm) Yes they are but we need water.

Millie: (takes the other) I’ll help you. How many of you are there?

Cara: (starts to walk) There were 9 but 5 of them went to find the nearest town.

Millie: (follows Cara) Wow.

Cara: (cups her hands, sticks the in the water and drinks) Thank God!

Millie: (does the same) What’s so special about this water?

Cara: (sticks one jug into the water) I haven’t had a drink for over 10 hours.

Millie: That is a long time.

Cara: (sticks the other jug in the water) Yes it is.

Millie: (looks at the jugs) Those are awfully large pitchers.

Cara: (putting one around her arm) Yes they are but we need water.

Millie: (takes the other) I’ll help you. How many of you are there?

Cara: (starts to walk) There were 9 but 5 of them went to find the nearest town.

Millie: (follows Cara) Intriguing.

The girls start to move a little faster

Setting- Back to the clearing in the forest where Niky, Ali, and Laura are. Laura is lying on her back eyes closed. Ali is sitting under a tree fanning herself with a make shift fan. Niky is trying to create something to hold the branches together.

Laura: (pants) Where is Cara?

Ali: (sighs) She’ll be here soon.

Niky: (looks at her watch) it’s almost 5.

Laura: I feel like I’m going to die.

Ali: Just don’t fall asleep.

Laura: Thanks a lot.

Cara’s Voice in the distance: Yes I really do need to run.

Millie’s Voice in the distance: I can’t go that fast.

Cara’s Voice in the distance: Well you are also carrying the fruit so you might be a little slower.

Laura: (sits up and opens her eyes) Water? Food?

Ali: (stands up) Cara! Cara! Hurry!

Cara and Millie come into the clearing

Laura: (runs slowly to Cara) Water please…

Ali: (walks over to Cara) Fruit please…

Niky: (walks to Millie) Hello. Who are you?

Millie: (shakes Niky’s hand) Millie Sodder.

Niky: I’m Niky Ingle. This is Laura Gem. And this is Ali Ville.

Millie: (curtsies) Niky is a funny name. What does it mean?

Niky: (laughs) it is short for Nicole.

Millie: (stands up straight) Oh…

Cara: (pulls Laura and Ali aside and whispers) I know where we are.

Ali: (jaw drops) Really?

Laura: (looks surprised) Where?

Cara: (lowers her voice) Just outside Salem, Massachusetts in the year 1692.

Laura: (mouth a gape) Wow.

Ali: (thinking quickly) Uh oh. Excuse me Millie what day is it?

Millie: (counting on her fingers) February 29.

Ali: (puts her hand to her forehead) Oh shit.

Laura: (realizes what Ali means) Millie what is the biggest new around town today?

Millie: (thinks) The witches and their trials.

Cara: Oh no.

Niky: (grimaces) Shoot.

Laura: (takes a gulp of water) Not good.

Millie: (looks curiously) What’s not good?

Ali: (thinking quickly) Well we are just afraid that one of us might get accused because we dress differently.

Millie: (laughs) They don’t accuse people of being witches for being different. They accuse them of witchcraft.

Cara: (lowers her voice to Ali) She’s not from 2006 she doesn’t know about the conspiracy theory.

Setting- In the meadow, Kat, Linzi, Jess, Angie, and Emily are sleeping.

Jess: (rolls over and opens her eye) What time is it?

Kat: (stays laying down and checks her watch) 5:30 P.M.

Emily: (yawning) Good nap.

Linzi: (stretching) Very good nap.

Angie: (moaning) Still sleeping.

Jess: (standing up) Come on get up we’ve just gone 12 hours without liquid.

Linzi: (moaning and standing up) Don’t remind me.

Emily: (still laying down) How are we supposed to get water?

Kat: (thinking) I may be able to conjure something to bring us some.

Angie: (sighs) Water good.

Kat does something weird by throwing a folded paper clip toward where water most likely was

Jess: (rolls her eyes) and that helped how?

Kat: (sighing) Just watch.

Emily: (rolling back over) Wake me up when we have water.

Linzi: (leaning her head back) Can you figure out where we are?

Angie: (thinking) Probably somewhere back in time.

Linzi: (looking at Angie) Why do you say that?

Angie: No construction.

Linzi: (sitting down) ah

Emily: (screams) Squirrel! AH!!! Get it away!

Jess: (kicks at the squirrel) For God’s sake Emily, it’s not rabid.

Emily: (staring evilly) You never know.

Jess: (sighing) do you see it chasing us? No

Emily: (pouts) fine

Kat: (grabbing a floating pitcher) Water.

Angie: (running over) Thank God

The rest of the girls run over and drink some of the water: results in an empty pitcher
