SCENE
1: ARKHANGELOS, GREECE- Nightmare
A figure sits up on the ledge of a building. The figure sits in a crouched position and holds his hands over his eyes. The figure looks like a gargoyle. The figure looks to be a teenage boy, maybe 18/19.
Figure
Vampires exist and they are
not friendly. Forget what Anne Rice says. Vampires are not beautiful and
elegant. They are vicious, savage, and don’t feel. My name is Eros and I am a
vampire.
Eros slowly lowers his hands to reveal his vampire eyes. They are fixed on someone. He growls and shoots off like lightning.
Cut to: Outside a church.
A teenage boy runs towards the church. The boy is terrified
of something. He looks up and screams. A black blur shoots into the teen,
pinning him to the ground. It is Eros.
The boy growls fiercely at Eros, revealing him to be a
vampire. The boy pulls out a knife and stabs Eros in the leg. Eros growls in
pain. The boy jumps up and makes a run for it with lightning speed. Eros
reaches into his jacket and pulls out his sword and throws it into the boy’s
neck. The boy falls down and Eros reaches into his jacket and throws three
steaks through the boy’s back and into his heart. The vampire explodes into
dust. Eros reaches down and picks up his three steaks and the sword and puts
them in his coat.
A vision hits him and he drops back hard on his back. The
vampires’ memories and experiences go into Eros.
FLASHES SHOW THE AUDIENCE THE VISION, A WOLF, BLOOD, GUTS,
TWO FIGURES IN BLACK FIGHTING, AND THEN A SMALL TOWN.
Eros opens his eyes and
groans. He gets up and stretches.
Eros
God. Damn. Gehenna.
Eros looks up to the sky and
flies away.
SCENE 2: CEMETERY: EVENING
We see a man walking through
a cemetery. Suddenly we see that someone is following him.
Hugo (to the men following
him.)
Why do you follow me?
One of the men
We are not following you.
We see that they have
suddenly disappeared when Hugo turned around. Hugo sniffs the air. Suddenly we
see that they appear again this time in front of Hugo.
Hugo
What do you want?
We now see that these two men
are vampires.
One of the men
To feed, human.
Hugo
What makes you think that I
am human?
We see that Hugo begins to
tremble under his coat.
One of the vampires
(hysterically)
SHIT IT’S HIM!
We then see that Hugo then
leaps at one of the vampires and tears his head off. He then leaps on the other
one and beats him but doesn’t kill him.
Hugo (angrily)
I have a message for your
master. Tell him that HE’S NEXT!
Hugo snarls and tears the
vampires’ throat out.
SCENE 3: ELLIE’S BEDROOM:
NIGHT
Ellie shoots up in her bed
from a nightmare. She looks around. She is sweating. She jumps out of her bed
and runs out of her room and down the hall and to the living room. The house
seems to be deserted. Ellie starts to panic. Her eyes water and she cries out.
Ellie
ORESTES! Where are you?
A figure in black silently
creeps behind her and suddenly flies at her. He grabs her shoulder. She gasps
and turns around. She sighs.
Ellie
Oh, Orestes.
Ellie hugs her brother,
Orestes. Orestes is obviously a vampire. He looks young, about 17 or 18, maybe
19. But in fact he is 38.
Ellie
I had another nightmare.
Orestes
What was it about?
Ellie
This boy, maybe about 18. He
was walking in a graveyard and he turned into a monster. A wolf of some kind.
Orestes (eyes widen)
Wolf?!
Ellie
Yeah.
Orestes
It was just a dream, Ellie. Now
go to bed and try to get some sleep. You’ve got school tomorrow.
Ellie sighs and walks back
into her room. Orestes walks into the living room and dials a number on the
phone.
Orestes
We need to have a meeting.
SCENE 3: A DARK CAVE
The cave is dark and wet.
There is water dripping and growling in the distance. There is also a woman
screaming. Her screams occasionally turn into slightly pleasured moans. Then
there is howling.
A man walks up to the door
and stands by it. An older man walks out through the door. He is putting on a
robe.
Jack (younger man)
Rosanna’s gone into labor,
sir.
Henry (older man)
Good. Maybe she gives me what
I want.
The two walk on.
Henry
I swear Jack, after thirty
years you would think I could bring about one bloody pure blood werewolf. That
bitch Stirba just sits in her little corner, letting our kind waste away to
extinction. She cannot produce any offspring, but maybe I can.
SCENE 4: DARK OFFICE ROOM
Orestes and a group of five vampires
sit at the table. There is very little light in the room.
Orestes
They’re back.
Vampire 1
Impossible, they’re extinct.
Orestes
She’s had the dream.
Vampire 2
She watched a few Lon Chaney
Jr. movies and she has a nightmare about werewolves, so what?
Vampire 3
You know, we never did find
Stirba.
Vampire 4
I think we should find the
bitch, gut her and hang her on the wall as a trophy.
Vampire 5
With Stirba gone, the
werewolves would die out.
Vampire 2
I still don’t think there is anything
to worry about.
Orestes
I’m the head of this group,
so I say we go out and find them. There are abominations. A Virus! They must be
destroyed. The day is coming and I’ll be damned if the Thirteen rise again to
see our pulchtritutous species tainted and at odds with a group of nasty dogs.
I say we wipe them out.
Vampire 2
Since when do we let some
little teeny bopper influence our decisions?
Orestes picks up his sword
and cuts off vampire 2’s head. The vampire crumbles into dust.
Orestes
The sun is almost up. You
guys crash here and tonight, we go out and search for the lycanthropes. You
guys hungry?
Vampires 1-4 (one after
the other)
Yeah.
I know a place that delivers.
Orestes pulls a card out of
his wallet. The card reads: NEED A SUCK OR A FUCK CALLS CHUCK 555-6801.
SCENE 5; OLD ABANDONED
WAREHOUSE
A young looking boy sits in
front of an isle, painting a picture of a girl. The boy looks to be about 15 or
16; but the paintings and sculptures, which populate the warehouse, show sophistication.
That no 15 or 16 year old could have. Outside, Eros sits on a tree branch,
watching the boy. He is focused on him. He growls and jumps out of the tree.
Inside the boy is still painting. The door shoots open and the boy looks toward
the door. Nobody is there.
Boy
Hello? Is anybody there?
Eros rises up behind the boy.
The boy turns around and Eros pounces onto the boy.
Boy
Who are you?
Eros growls, vampire face and
pulls out a stake and lifts it up in the air. The boy’s face fills up with fear.
Boy
Do it!
Eros looks at him strangely.
The boy growls, vampire face.
Boy (demon like)
Do it, Crusader!
Eros hesitates. The boy
punches him hard in the mouth. Eros falls back. The boy gets up and looks at
his fist. He cut it on Eros’s teeth. Eros looks at the boy. The boy’s blood is
on Eros’s mouth. Eros licks the blood and he is hit by a quick flash of the
boys’ memories. In the flashes, there are shots of the boy at an early 20th
century university, painting, and with the girl in the painting. Eros opens his
eyes and looks at the boy. The boy is still in vampire form.
Eros
Who are you?
Boy
A vampire, now kill me.
Eros (looking amazed at
the boy and his artwork)
You’ve seen her (pausing) she turned you.
Boy
Kill me, Crusader!
Eros
You’re lonely. You long for a
companion, but you cannot have one, so you paint and sculpt the perfect woman,
in hopes that one day she will come to life.
The boy’s face returns to
normal.
Eros
Pygmalion. You name is
Pygmalion.
Pygmalion
You know, people glorify
being a vampire. But there is nothing glorious about being a vampire. It is
dark, sad, and lonely. In order to live, you must kill. Tell me, Crusader,
where’s the glory in being a vampire.
Eros
There is none. It is a state
of damnation. It is hell.
Pygmalion
It is Gehenna
SCENE 6: HENRY’S CAVE- THE
BIRTHING ROOM
Henry and Jack stand in front
of a baby on a table. Jack is testing the baby’s blood. After a moment, he has
his answer. Jack groans.
Jack
Half breed.
Henry
Maltida sea! (lets out a monstrous roar) kill it.
Jack
Sir?
Henry
Kill it! I’ve got a whole
clan of half-breeds and I don’t want anymore. I want a full blood. Kill the
half-breed. Kill Rosanna.
Henry storms out. Jack picks
up a meat cleaver and looks down at the baby.
SCENE 7; PYGMALION’S
WAREHOUSE
Eros and Pygmalion sit,
talking. Eros looks around at the paintings and sculptures. They are all of the
same girl.
Pygmalion
I am going to the London
School of Art and one I was working late in the art building and I saw her
walking alone on the campus. So I approached her and began talking to her. I
took her up to my room and we made out. In the middle of it, she turned me into
a vampire. Then she left me. I never even learned her name. She never told me.
So I call her Babylon.
Eros
Her name is Cathileena. She
turned me, nearly 308 years ago.
Pygmalion
Eros, every vampire I have
met has been evil, sinister, and as wicked as one could possibly be. Why are we
so different? Why don’t we have an infatuation with carnage and mayhem?
Eros
It’s your last mortal
emotion. The last thing you feel determines what kind of a vampire you will be.
I felt love and hatred for vampires because of Cathileena: and I imagine that
last thing you felt was abandonment and a longing to be loved. That makes us a
rare breed, Pygmalion.
Pygmalion (softly)
Yeah.
Eros
Good luck. Don’t worry man,
you’ll get you Galeta. You’ve got all of eternity. She’ll come. As for me, I’m
here for a reason and I have to figure out what it is.
Eros shakes Pygmalion’s hand
and walks out of the warehouse.
SCENE 8: GEHENNA HIGH
SCHOOL: THE NEXT MORNING.
Ellie steps off of her school
bus and walks up to the school.
Shannon (v.o)
ELLIE! Ellie, wait up!
Ellie turns around and sees
her best friend, Shannon running up to her.
Shannon
You will never believe the
night I had. Doug called me up and said he does not want to go to the Prom with
me.
Ellie
Shannon, its two weeks away.
All the good guys are taken. Who are you going to go with?
Shannon
This may sound strange,
Ellie, but I was thinking about asking Orestes.
Ellie
My brother?
Shannon
Your brother is hot! He’s not
a boy like Doug. He’s a man. I need a man, not a boy. I’m in need for massive
deep dicking.
Ellie (walking off)
I’m not hearing this.
Shannon
I think you’re in need of
some too. Not from your brother, of course, but ---
Ellie
Enough Shannon. It’s too
early in the mourning for the NC-17 conversations. I had a rough night. Bad
dreams.
Shannon
What about?
Ellie
It’s silly. Werewolves
Shannon
You should lay off the Teen
Wolf, Ellie.
Ellie
It was strange. He was scary.
He was a monster. But he was strangely sexy.
Shannon
I knew it. You want to have
serious pipeage laid into you. You want some dick and you want it quick.
Ellie (laughing)
God Shannon.
Cut to: GHS GYM
Hugo and Sahn sit on the
bench, changing out.
Hugo
These vampires are getting
easier and easier to kill. I guess I’m too strong for them.
Sahn
Bullshit, Hugo. Your little bitch
ass isn’t invincible. I’ve seen a newborn vampire mop the fucking floor with
your (reaches into his book bag). Is anyone coming?
Hugo
No man you’re clear.
Sahn reaches into his book
bag.
Sahn
Good (pulls out a lunch bag), because goddamn I am hungry.
He pulls out a heart out of
the lunch bag and bites into it. Hugo looks at Sahn as the blood drips onto the
ground.
Hugo
You are a messy son of a
bitch. If you ain’t pigging out on hearts, you’re loaded on herb.
Sahn
It’s called weed, bitch.
Hugo
The vamps are beginning to
hit close to home. We can’t let them get to Henry and Stirba.
Sahn
FUCK HENRY! That cum guzzling
bastard is ---
Hugo
Show some respect, he is the
last male full blood. He is your father, as he is mine. More yours than mine.
Sahn
I wouldn’t piss on Henry to
save his life, but I would die and more for our dear Stirba.
Hugo
No vampire could make it past
The Colony.
Coach (V.O.)
Hey dicklicks, get out here,
already?
Sahn
What a fag. We’re coming.
Sahn throws what he hasn’t eaten
of the heart in the trashcan and wipes the blood from his mouth.
Sahn
I fucking hate oriental food.
He gets up and throws the
towel at Hugo.
Sahn
Clean up that blood on the
floor, bitch.
He walks off.
CUT TO: MINUTES LATER
Hugo walks out in the gym.
Sahn has a basketball and he bounces it to Hugo.
Sahn
Check, bitch.
Hugo checks it to Sahn and
looks over to the side and sees Ellie and a guy. Hugo sniffs. He smells
something.
Hugo
Hey Sahn. You smell that?
Sahn
Hugo farts stop being funny
in elementary school.
Hugo
No. I smell a vampire.
Sahn
It’s the middle of the day,
Hugo. The sun is bright as Hell, how could a vampire be out?
Hugo
I know what I smell.
Sahn
Bullshit!
The boy moves in on Ellie.
She pushes him away.
Ellie
Get off, JD.
JD
Come on, baby.
Ellie
My brother’ll kick your ass.
JD
I’m not scared of your old
ass brother. Come on, sweet stuff. (Moves
in.)
Ellie
I SAID NO!
JD growls and slaps Ellie.
Hugo throws the basketball with great strength into JD’s head. Ellie and JD
look at Hugo. Ellie smiles.
JD
You motherfucker!
Hugo
She said no, vampire.
JD feels on his face. There
is a big mark on his face. It is as if JD had two layers of skin and the
basketball knocked off a piece of the top skin. JD and Hugo growl at each other
and then JD runs into the locker room.
Hugo looks at Ellie. She is
staring at him like she has a schoolgirl crush. Hugo turns around and plays
basketball with Sahn.
Sahn
That chick digs you.
Hugo
Yeah right.
Sahn
She wants your dick, man.
Hugo
Sure.
CUT TO: LUNCHTIME
Hugo sits at his table,
eating. Ellie walks up with a lunch tray.
Thanks.
Hugo looks up at her.
Hugo
No problem.
Ellie
You mind if I sit down?
Hugo
No. sit.
Ellie sits down.
Ellie
I’m Ellie. Ellie Pyladeskin.
Hugo
Pyladeskin? That’s an unusual
name.
Ellie
Yeah, well I have an unusual
family.
Hugo smiles.
Hugo
I’m Hugo.
Ellie
Do you have a last name?
Hugo
You’ll just have to get to
know me better.
Ellie smiles and looks at
Hugo for a while.
Ellie
You know, I feel
like I know you. Like I’ve known you a long time.
Hugo
Maybe we know
each other in another life.
Ellie laughs.
Ellie
Yeah, perhaps.
CUT TO: CAVE: THE COLONY
Henry walks up to a door,
which is guarded by two half-breed werewolves.
Henry walks passed them and through the door.
He is now in Stirba's lair.
Stirba sits in the darkness. The only thing that can be seen of her is her
demonic eyes. Henry bows in front of her.
Henry
My dear Stirba, I have failed
again. For the last time, I have created another half-breed. I cannot produce a
full blood, my queen. We are damned to extinction.
Stirba
We have been extinct for many
years, Henry. The vampires have won that battle, but they won’t win the war.
Henry
Jack may create a pure blood
in a test tube, my queen. I know you can’t have intercourse, but maybe Jack can
get some of your embryos and try to create a full blood.
Stirba
That requires light and I
cannot come into the light.
Henry
This is the 21st
century. We have technology you could never imagine, my queen. We won’t need
light. I’m asking you to trust me. I can save our species and we can win this
war.
Henry looks at Stirba as she
thinks.
CUT TO: GHS- OUTSIDE-
AFTER SCHOOL
Ellie walks out of the high school.
Shannon runs up to her. She seems very excited.
Shannon
Ellie, I’ve got great news.
Orestes and I are going to the Prom.
Ellie
Seriously?
Shannon
Seriously. I called him
during lunch. I’m supposed to come over tonight and we are going to talk about
what we are going to do?
Ellie
Well, that’s nice.
She looks to her right and
sees Hugo walking.
Shannon
Have you found a date yet?
Hugo looks at her and smiles.
She smiles at him.
Ellie
I may have.
JD stands in the shadow with
a hood over his head. He looks from Ellie to Hugo. He growls and walks off.
CUT TO: DARK OFFICE: NIGHT
Orestes slaps JD. JD falls to
the ground. He looks up at Orestes. Orestes is extremely pissed off.
Orestes
A werewolf! You let her fall
in love with a fucking dog!
JD
I can’t be responsible for
your sister.
Orestes
That’s what your job is. I
want that mutt’s head on this table. Go out there, find that half-breed and
kill him. I’ll be damned if I let my baby sister get involved with some animal.
CUT TO: WOODS
Hugo walks, sniffing. He has
caught on a scent. Two figures creep behind him. He stops.
The two figures walk into the
light. It is JD and WB. They look in front of them. Hugo is gone. They look
around, confused.
Hugo runs up behind the two.
They turn around.
Hugo
Hey ya, guys.
The two jump on Hugo and they
fight.
Up in a tree, a figure drops
onto a branch and watches the fight. It is Eros.
(Hugo punches WB and turns
around and roundhouses JD. WB rushes at Hugo. Hugo shoves his fist through WB’s
chest. Hugo pulls at a knife and throws it into JD’s throat. JD pulls the knife
out of his throat and runs off, gagging. Hugo pulls his fist out of WB’s chest
and catches a scent. He walks on, following the scent.)
JD runs and a black flash
comes on him. It is Eros. He has split JD down with his sword. JD stares at
Eros in fear.
JD (gagging and muffled)
Eros.
Eros cuts JD in half at the
waist and kicks him JD explodes into dust. Eros turns and walks after Hugo.
He comes up to WB, who lies
on the ground, holding his chest. Eros looks down at the vamp and then quickly
decapitates WB. He looks in the direction Hugo is walking and then follows him.
Hugo walks, still tracking
the scent. Eros follows in the trees. Hugo comes through the bushes and sees
what he was tracking. It was Ellie.
She turns around and looks at
Hugo.
Ellie
Hugo.
Hugo
What are you doing?
Ellie moves to reveal two
graves.
Ellie
Visiting my parents.
Hugo
Oh. I---I---
Ellie
It’s okay.
Hugo
I didn’t know.
Ellie
I said its okay. Mom, dad, this
is Hugo. Hugo, this is my mom and dad.
Hugo walks up to her. He
looks down at the two graves.
Hugo
They died a long time ago.
You must have been very young when they died.
Ellie
I was my brother, Orestes
takes care of me.
Hugo
And does big brother know
your out.
Ellie
Yeah. He’s at home now with
my best friend.
CUT TO: ELLIE'S HOME
The lighting is dim. The only
light comes from the many candles that surround the room. Orestes and Shannon
sit on the couch, making out.
Shannon
What do we do if Ellie walks
in on us?
Orestes
She won’t. She’ll be at out
parent’s grave for a while. Today’s the 17th anniversary of the day they
Shannon
But it’s her birthday. God,
they died on the day she was born?
Orestes
Mom in delivery and Dad later
on that night.
Shannon
Jesus. (Leaves and grabs the
wine bottle.) I need a drink. (Begins pouring some.) You want some?
Orestes
No,
I never drink wine.
Shannon
drinks her glass of wine. Orestes puts his hand on Shannon’s face and kisses her.
He looks hard in her eyes and she moans.
Shannon
Yes.
Here. Now.
Orestes
kisses her passionately and kisses his way down to Shannon’s breasts, and looks
up at her. She moans.
Shannon
Yes.
Yes.
Orestes
smiles wickedly. Vampire face. He bites into her right breast. She moans.
CUT
TO: WOODS.
Hugo
and Ellie walk, talking. Eros follows in the trees.
Hugo
So
what does your brother do?
Ellie
Um---you
wouldn’t believe me if I told you.
Hugo
What?
Ellie
It’s
hard to explain. (Tries to think of a rational way of putting it without
mentioning vampires.) He’s the leader of a youth group.
Hugo
Youth
group?
Ellie
Yeah.
So what about you?
Hugo
My parents
were killed right in front of me when I was five years old. The monster that
did it tried to kill me, but I survived…somehow.
Ellie
Oh
my god. What did he do to you?
Hugo
He
bit me.
Ellie
(realizing what the “monster” was)
Bit
you?
Hugo
Yeah.
I know what you’re thinking, how bad can a bite be. He was a lunatic. Very
animal-like and he was carrying a virus.
Ellie
Like
vampirism.
Hugo
looks at her, shocked.
Hugo
You
know?
Ellie
What?
That vampires exits? Yeah. I know. So, you’re a vampire.
Hugo
Kind
of. I’m half vampire, half lycanthrope.
Ellie
Lycanthrope?
Hugo
Werewolf,
my parents were murdered by a vampire and since then I’ve sworn to murder every
vampire. They damn near wiped my kind off of the face of the earth.
Ellie
Oh
my God.
Hugo
For
thirteen years I have lived in darkness, not getting close to anyone. You are
the first glimpse of light I have seen since before my parents died.
Ellie
smiles.
Hugo
Ellie,
I’m not good at emotional stuff. I don’t know what to say. I don’t know how to
act. But know this; I care about you a lot. I’m drawn to you. You give me faith
that there is higher power in the world. The world is a dangerous place. But I
won’t let anything happen to you. I hope you know that.
Ellie
You’ve
been there for me before and I believe you’ll be there for me again.
Eros
stares at them as they kiss.
CUT
TO: THE BIRTHING ROOM
Jack
and Henry stand in front of a table. Jack hold’s a test tube.
Jack
Now
comes the waiting period.
CUT
TO: THE PYLADESKIN HOUSE.
Orestes
sits in the living room sharpening his sword. Lightning flashes outside to
reveal Eros at the window. He watches Orestes.
Orestes
You
know Eros; a vampire does not have to be invited in to another vampire’s house.
Eros
walks in through the door and into the living room.
Eros
How
do you know my name?
Orestes
Come
on. Every vampire knows about the vampire Eros. The Crusader. The Unpure One.
The killer of vampires. You’re like a gad damn rock star
Eros
just looks at him, reading Orestes’s mind.
Orestes
(getting up)
Forgive
me. Where are my manners? My name is Orestes. Welcome to Gehenna (points to Shannon’s corpse) Appetizer?
Eros
Your
sister, I’ve seen her tonight.
Orestes
Yeah,
probably with her new boyfriend, I swear I love the girl, but she is becoming a
handful.
Eros
This
boy. He is unlike anything I have seen before. He has all the abilities of a
vampire, but there is something else.
Orestes
He
is half vampire, half werewolf.
Eros
Werewolf?
I’ve never hear of them actually existing.
Orestes
They
don’t anymore. They are all extinct, except for two. Stirba, the first and only
immortal werewolf, and Henry. I personally murdered every werewolf after a
werewolf killed my father.
Eros
I
have lived for over 300 years and I have never encountered any existence of
lycanthropy.
Orestes
No
one really knows how they were created, but it is believed they were created
not too long after the Thirteen went into hiding nearly 2,000 years ago. They
hid in the darkness like us for about a thousand years and than a great battle
between all of werewolf kind and one vampire---Asesino. By himself, Asesino
took out every single werewolf except Stirba and her husband Bane. Over the
next few centuries, the two slowly built up the mockery that is werewolf kind.
But not enough to stop me. After Bane killed my father, I killed every werewolf
and I thought Stirba and one of her children—Henry died in an explosion, but it
seems they didn’t. There is a new breed of them out there but they are not as
powerful as the others. Except this Hugo, he’s just as strong as a vampire, but
he’s nothing compared to me.
Eros
What
do you plan on doing?
Orestes
I
know where the Colony is. This bitch here has been to the Colony, so now I
know. It’s a shame I sucked her to death, because that is a nice piece of ass.
But then again, you know if it’s still warm, it’s still good.
Eros
looks at Orestes, disgusted.
Orestes
Pussy’s
pussy, man.
Eros
How
do you kill a vampire?
Orestes
Pretty
much the same way you kill anything. They don’t have the luxury of being
vulnerable to everything like us.
Eros
Sunlight
kills us, silver kills us! He walks in the day. He wears a silver chain. Who
has the luxury?
Orestes
You need
not concern yourself with little Hugo. I’ll take care of him. I should have
killed him when I had the chance.
CUT
TO: OUTSIDE THE HOUSE LATER.
Hugo
and Ellie walk up to the house.
Hugo
I’ll
see you at school tomorrow.
Ellie
Okay.
Hugo
If
you need anything, just call my name. I’ll be there.
Ellie
Alright…Mariah
Carey.
Hugo
Mariah
Carey?
Ellie
Not
a fan of music, huh?
Hugo
Not
that music.
Ellie
Well,
I’ll see you tomorrow wolfie.
She kisses
him on the cheek and goes inside. Hugo smiles and then his eyes widen. He
senses something.
Hugo
Oh
no!
He
runs off.
CUT
TO: THE COLONY
Henry
and Jack sit in the Birthing room, waiting for the results of the test. The two
guards- Jameson and Quest stand at the entrance of the Colony. Sahn sits
against the wall, he puts a joint in his mouth and lights it. Stirba sits in
the darkness, resting. Her eyes glow brighter.
Stirba
It
was inevitable.
An
unseen figure slowly walks up to Jameson and Quest. Henry and Jack stand, now
knowing the results of the test.
Jack
Full-blood.
Henry’s
eyes lit up.
Jameson
and Quest turn their heads and look at the figure. It reaches into its coat and
pulls out a sword. In a quick swing, both werewolves are decapitated.
Each
werewolf character sense what has happened.
(Pan
up to the figure’s head to reveal it is Orestes).
Orestes
Is
anyone home?
He
smiles and enters the Colony.
CUT
TO: OUTSIDE OF THE COLONY-LATER
Hugo
runs up to the entrance and sees Jameson and Quest’s bodies.
Hugo
(shocked)
Oh
my god. No!
He
runs inside and sees the horror. The walls are stained with blood. He runs into
the sleeping quarters and finds Sahn dead on the floor, the joint still in his
hand. He was stabbed multiple times.
Hugo
No.
He
runs into the birthing room. Jack lies on the floor, cut in half NE to SW and
Henry lies dead on the ground, three cuts across his face.
He
runs into Stirba’s lair and stops. A big trail of blood goes from the middle of
the floor to Stirba’s throne in the darkness. Her bloody hand lays out of the
darkness, burned and bloody.
Hugo
No!
He
runs out of Stirba’s lair and falls beside a mutilated dead werewolf. Hugo
looks at the blood and rubs his finger through it and tastes it.
A
FLASH HITS HIM AND SEES ORESTES KILLING THE WEREWOLF.
Hugo
opens his eyes and groans. He gets up and stretches.
CUT
TO: LATER-HUGO’S ROOM.
Hugo
sits on his knees, holding his necklace. He is reciting a chant. His eyes are
closed.
Hugo
Wolfen
pendant, pendant of fire; take me to my heart’s desire! Lupine loop, hoop of
air; take me to where my enemy resides! Feral earthmen metal pendant; take in
all that honor would bring. From flesh to fur… to flesh again; by lunar’s
cycle, never end. By ash, by oak, by thorn of tree… so it writ… so note it be!
Now I am ready to face my enemy and I will destroy him.
He
opens his eyes.
CUT
TO: THE PYLADESKIN HOUSE.
Orestes
and Eros stand in an upstairs room.
Eros
I
knew I should have killed you the last time I saw you.
Orestes
But
you won’t kill family, will you? And I’m not talking vampire family, I’m
talking real family.
Eros
You’re
a descendant of my sister’s father.
Orestes
Nothing
gets past you, does it? So, what’s that make you? My great, great, great, great,
times three or four more grandfather.
Eros
That
makes us nothing.
Orestes
That’s
a shame.
Orestes
pulls out a gun and shoots Eros out a window.
Orestes
Silver
bullets, commonly misconcepted to be what kills the lycan virus. Thank God for Universal
movies.
He
puts the gun down.
CUT
TO: GEHENNA CITY LIMITS
Hugo
walks and Ellie runs up to him. She is crying.
Ellie
Hugo,
I am so glad I found you.
Hugo
(Angrily)
What
do you want, Ellie?
Ellie
It’s
my brother. He killed Shannon.
Hugo
What?
Ellie
Orestes
killed Shannon. He bit her and left her on the couch.
Hugo
He’s
a vampire, isn’t he?
Ellie
(almost ashamed)
Yes.
He’s the head vampire around here.
Hugo
(Furiously)
He
killed everyone in the Colony. Where is he?
Ellie
What
do you---?
Hugo
pounces on Ellie.
Hugo
(almost monster-like)
WHERE
IS HE?!
Ellie
(scared shitless)
Hugo,
get off of me, please. You’re hurting me.
Hugo
growls and bites Ellie. She screams out in pain.
Hugo
gets up an is hit by a flash. He sees Orestes’s location.
Ellie
Hugo,
no. Don’t. He’s all I’ve got.
Hugo
Goodbye
Ellie.
He
walks off, leaving Ellie bleeding on the ground.
CUT
TO: THE PYLADESKIN HOUSE
Orestes
turns around and Hugo is standing in the doorway.
Orestes
You,
What are you doing here? Didn’t like the way I redecorated the Colony?
Hugo
stands, not moving, extremely pissed off.
Orestes
Oh, little wolfie’s come to
avenge his family. You don’t scare me. You are nothing. You are just a mutt.
Orestes pulls out the gun and
shoots Hugo. Hugo steps back and feels on the wound. He pulls the bullet out of
he wound. He looks at it. Orestes’s eyes wide open.
Hugo
Silver?
Orestes
It’s supposed to be.
Hugo (grabbing his
necklace)
This is silver (his hand burns and he lets go of it.)This
is not.
He throws the bullet down.
Orestes
It doesn’t matter. You’re
just some little bitch.
Hugo
You’re all going to die, you
and the Crusader.
Orestes
The Unpure One is dead!
Eros walks out of the
darkness. He looks extremely pissed off.
Orestes
Un-fucking-believable.
Eros jumps at Orestes and
slings him across the room. Orestes jumps up and Eros and he fight. Eros tries
to pull out his sword, but Orestes knocks it out of his hand.
Eros kicks Orestes in the chest
and the two roll and Orestes pins Eros down to the ground.
Orestes
Join me, Eros; I don’t want
to kill you. We are family let’s team up and kill that lycan shit and then you
can rule the world. That freak is the last one.
Eros
I want you all dead!
Orestes
What can you hate so much
that would make you kill your own kind?
Eros
MYSELF!
Eros pulls out a chainsaw
chain and swings it around Orestes’s neck and pull it back, tearing into his
neck. Orestes falls back and takes the chain from his neck.
Eros jumps up and Hugo
pounces on Orestes. Orestes falls to the ground and shoves his leg up into
Hugo’s gut and rolls back, throwing him across the room.
Orestes jumps up and runs at
Hugo and kicks him in the face. Hugo falls back and tries to get back up, but
Orestes bitch slaps him. Hugo falls down and gets back up. Orestes pulls out a
dagger and stabs Hugo in the stomach. Hugo groans and grasps his stomach.
Orestes
You fought well for a
werewolf, Hugo I have to admit I am impressed.
Eros stands, watching. Orestes
looks from Hugo to Eros and back to Hugo with fear in his eyes.
Orestes
Who would have thought you
would have grown into a pseudo-mediocre fighter? I expected you to die right
after I bit you and killed your parents.
Hugo looks up at Orestes.
Hugo
It was you. You killed my
parents.
Orestes
Yeah (kicks him in the face), who’s your daddy, bitch! (He begins stomping him), who’s your
mathafuckin daddy!
Eros grabs Orestes and stabs
him in the back with Orestes’s knife. Orestes backhands Eros in the face. Eros
falls down and pulls the knife out.
Orestes
You’d think a skilled vampire
killer could hit the heart.
Orestes lifts the knife to
kill Eros. Hugo jumps on Orestes and lifts him up and slams him on the ground.
Hugo drops on Orestes and Orestes shoves the knife into Hugo’s chest. Hugo
groans and Orestes laughs. Hugo grabs Orestes’s throat and rips it out.
Orestes gags and falls back,
apparently dead. Eros grabs Hugo and pulls him off of Orestes and shoves a
stake at Hugo’s chest. Hugo catches his hand and holds it away from, his chest.
Hugo
What are you doing? I saved
your life, vampire.
Eros
You are half vampire and that
it one half too much.
Hugo
Your kind killed my parents.
Christ, your kind has wiped out all of my kind. They are extinct!! There is no
way I can bring them back.
Eros
I have seen the way the girl
looks at you and you return her feelings. You two could create a new form of
vampirism and I can’t allow that.
Hugo
She is nothing, but a pest. I
have no feelings for her. She is nothing to me! I curse her and her legacy.
Eros
Then you curse me.
Eros head butts Hugo and
pulls back to stake Hugo. Hugo pulls
out of Eros’s grasp and runs for the door.
Ellie appears at the door and
Eros throws the stake at lightning speed. The stake passes under Hugo’s arm and
goes into Ellie’s chest. She gasps in pain.
Hugo
Ellie.
She falls down. Hugo drops to
her side. Eros’s eyes widen.
Eros
Oh no.
Ellie gags and looks up into
Hugo’s eyes.
Hugo
Damn you, Ellie Pyladeskin.
You shouldn’t have gotten involved with me.
Ellie
It was inevitable, Hugo.
Nothing is spontaneous. It is planned already I have fallen in love with you,
Hugo. You may not love me, but I love you.
Hugo
I can’t love, Ellie. I’m
incapable of loving.
Ellie grabs Hugo’s hand and
Hugo pulls her hand to her chest. His hand is touching the silver necklace.
Ellie
You are changing, Hugo. Look,
you can touch your necklace without it burning you. The vampirism in your body is
gone. You are finding your true form.
Coughs.
Hugo
No, Ellie, don’t go.
Ellie
It is done. (And she dies).
Hugo closes his eyes and
holds Ellie’s dead body in his arms. Then he looks up, extremely pissed off and
turns to Eros.
Eros
Hugo, man, it was an
accident.
Hugo lets out a horrendous
roar. His eyes are no longer human-like. Hair begins to grow out of his skin.
Something has changed in Hugo. He is no longer half werewolf anymore. He is all
werewolf.
He jumps on Eros and rips
into him. When Hugo is done, Eros lays motionless on the floor, cut up and
bloody. Hugo looks down at him and then Ellie. He is breathing hard, his is
still transforming. He runs out of the house and into the darkness. A howling
can be heard.
Orestes slowly sits up and
looks at Eros, still immobile on the floor. He gets to his feet; he holds his
throat and looks down at Eros to see he is gone.
Orestes (almost
non-understandable)
What the F----
Eros appears behind him and
drives a stake through his back and into his heart.
Eros
You’re grounded!
Orestes explodes into dust.
Eros walks over to Ellie looks down at her.
Eros (narrating)
She looked almost like my
sister she should. My sister’s father was her ancestor. I could not leave her
there.
Eros picks her up and walks out
the door.
CUT TO: ELLIE’S PARENT’S
GRAVES: HOURS LATER.
Eros sits by Ellie’s freshly
dug grave and recites the 23rd Psalm. A wooden cross substitutes for
a temporary headstone. It reads ELEKTRA PYLADESKIN- 1987-2004- SLEEP WITH
ANGLES.
Eros (still narrating)
I buried her by her parents
and told Pygmalion to make her a nice headstone.
MATERIALIZE: DAYS LATER.
A beautiful headstone sits
where the cross used to be. Like the cross, it reads ELEKTRA
PYLADESKIN-1987-2004- SLEEP WITH ANGELS.
CUT TO: BOSTON,
MASSACHUSETTS- LATER ON.NIGHTTIME
Eros sits on top of a
building, with his hands covering his eyes.
Eros (n.)
But I do after stories about
werewolf sightings up north.
It’s Hugo; he’s no longer a
vampire. He’s found his true form.
PAN UP TO THE FULL MOON.
PAN DOWN AS A TRANSITION BACK
TO BOSTON.
Eros looks up at the moon.
Then he slowly looks down and sees two familiar faces. It is Marullus and
Flaurius, the last of Orestes’s vampire clan.
Marulus
Oh shit, look who it is.
Flaurius
Get in the car, Marulus.
The two vampires jump in a
car and start it up. Linkin Park’s “Don’t Stay” begins playing on the car
radio.
Eros smiles as the car speeds
down the road.
Eros (continuing)
As for me, my fun was just
beginning.
Eros runs off of the building
and flies at the screen.
SHOOT TO BLACK.
