 Part One
            (A person comes onstage.  Gender is unimportant – although each person will make this    role their   own in how they differentiate part one from part two.  Suggestion – for ease – a    head covering or jacket.  These are easy to wear and easy to remove.  Part one starts as a happy person, bouncy, not worried.)

Oh, Kiley, where are you?  Come here you little sweetie…..

            (The person looks around the stage)

Come on, Kiley, it’s not funny to keep me waiting…..you know we have a lot to do….

            (Now the person is getting a bit worried)

Kiley……you aren’t trying to frighten me, now are you?  I just want to make sure everything is okay….you can come out now……you have to eat before we leave…..

            (More nervous, the person is a bit frantic)

Kiley…..please….I am starting to get worried…..where are you?  Come out!  (Yelling)  Now!

            (There is a sound, the person reacts, much happier)

I heard you!  You little devil you!  You ARE hiding!   Why do you do this to me!  You know I love you! Well, I’m gonna find you!

            (The person smiles, is looking around, sees something, grabs, happy, holding on tight)

Oh, Kiley!    You are such a troublemaker!
You’re gonna pay for this!

            (Holds Kiley up high, smothers in kisses)

There!  I’ve got you now!

            (Pulls Kiley close)

And I’m never gonna let you go!

            (Smiles as they leave)

And you’re never gonna hide like that again, right?

            (Puts Kiley next to head, laughing)

I didn’t hear you!

            (They exit)

Part Two

            (The person returns, wearing the different hat/jacket – or without it. The person is in a terrible 
 mood…can we smell alcohol on the breath?  This is not a happy person, this is a person with a mission)

Oh, Kiley, where are you?  (Sarcastic)  Come here you little sweetie…..

            (The person looks around the stage)

(Harsh)  Come on, Kiley, it’s not funny to keep me waiting…..you know we have a lot to do….

            (Now the person is getting a bit annoyed)

Kiley……you aren’t trying to frighten me, now are you?  (Fake sweet) I just want to make sure everything is okay….you can come out now……you have to eat before we leave…..

            (More annoyed, the person starts to get agitated)

Kiley….(fake sweet).please….I am starting to get worried…..where are you?  Come out!  (No more sweet….yelling)  Now!

            (There is a sound, the person reacts, the smile is of the hunter)


I heard you!  (Faking, trying to be pleasant) You little devil you!  You ARE hiding!   Why do you do this to me! (Overly sweet)  You know I love you! Well, I’m gonna find you!

            (The person smiles, an unpleasant smile, is looking around, sees something, grabs, holding on tight, too tight)

Oh, Kiley!    You are such a troublemaker! You're gonna pay for this!


            (Holds Kiley up high, squeezing)

(Fury)  There!  I’ve got you now!

            (Pulls Kiley close)

And I’m never gonna let you go!

            (The person now strangles Kiley until there is no life left)

And you’re never gonna hide like that again, right?

            (Puts Kiley next to head, laughing)

I didn’t hear you!

            (The person laughs, holds Kiley in arms as they exit)


(End Note – I used ‘me’ instead of Mommy/Daddy for ease of reading, but the actor can use Mommy/Daddy as gender desires – this will make the piece scarier and more personal.  Actor’s choice.  For those who want to know who Kiley is – that, too, will be the actor’s decision – pet, child, make it real.  This piece is designed so that you could even interpret it several other ways – but that is for tomorrow)
