(dorm. Tara enters her room, stops when she sees her dad standing there dissaprovingly)

MR. MACLAY: The door wasn't locked. I was a little early. I suppose you ... wanted me to see all these ...

(he picks up a large crystal and examines it)

MR. MACLAY: ... toys. You don't even try to hide it any more. I'd hoped maybe you'd gotten over the whole witchcraft thing. That if we let you go, you'd ... get it out of your system. Then they told me to look for you in ... (disgusted) that store.

TARA: I didn't - I, I didn't kn-know that you were coming.

MR. MACLAY: Of course we came. We haven't heard from you in months. Your birthday's getting closer and closer. You know what that means.

TARA: (upset) I don't think it's ... (stammers) it, it won't mean that-

MR. MACLAY: You're turning twenty. It's the same age your mother was when she... Do your friends even know?

TARA: (softly) Y-yes.

MR. MACLAY: Are you lying to me?

(Tara looks down)

MR. MACLAY: Tara, you're coming home with us. You know it's the only way.

TARA: Home?

MR. MACLAY: You can't control what's going to happen. You have evil inside of you and it will come out. And letting yourself work all this magic is only going to make it worse. Where do you think that power comes from?

TARA: It ... it doesn't feel evil ... sir.

MR. MACLAY: Evil never does. I don't feel much like eating right now. I'll give you some time, but we need to be gone by morning. Your family loves you, Tara, no matter what. How do you think your friends are going to feel when they see your true face?
