-Jump City, August. The winds wrap around the marvelous City’s neighborhoods as leaves fall like memories of the summer. Children both happily and miserably jump aboard school buses off to learn. A dark red house in the middle of the woods is being approached by one of these yellow vehicles. A girl, 17 years old, stands looking at in sadden. Short black hair flows along, never able to leave it’s owner, never to venture off. Her figure is very thin, eyebrows lowered, dark bags under her eyes from restless nights. Her skin is fascinatingly pale. Wearing shoulder-less black shirt and dark pants. Her name is Rachel Roth. She holds a messenger bag, the bus pulls up, it’s door opens. Rachel walks on board. The school bus driver gives her a disgusted look, he looks tired and grumpy, the perfect kind of guy to work with kids. Rachel walks past the little tots, jumping up in joy. Then past the middle scholars, who seem to be very content with their MP3 players and Gameboys. Then
to her section, the High-Scholars. Their chatting among themselves about who did what and why over the summer. Rachel sits in the back seat, looking out the window, watching trees and now houses pass by. A blonde headed high-scholar looks up at her-
Ralph-
Who are you?
-Sitting next to Ralph is a brown-headed girl named Jesse holding onto him. Rachel looks at this and rolls her eyes-
Rachel Roth-
Rachel.
Ralph-
My name is Ralph. This is Jesse.
Jesse-
Hay!
Rachel Roth-
Hello.
-Rachel turns around looking outside-
Ralph-
New to this school?
Rachel Roth-
Yes.
Ralph-
Where did you come from?
Rachel Roth-
England.
Jesse-
How is it?
Rachel Roth-
Never got to see much of it.
Jesse-
How long did you live there?
Rachel Roth-
Seven years.
Ralph-
You had to see some of it
right?
Rachel Roth-
Spent most of my time there indoors.
Jesse-
What do your parents do?
Rachel Roth-
I don’t have any.
Jesse-
I’m sorry
Rachel Roth-
You did nothing. How would have you known?
Jesse-
Well
we hope you like it here.
Rachel Roth-
Me aswell.
-Rachel returns to the sights outside and slumps down into her seat. Jesse and Ralph continue to their conversation. She sees a light coated rabbit running along. Cut to the bus unloading at Jump High School. The teens get off the bus and walk into the school, chatting all the way. Rachel Roth slowly but surely makes her way through the crowd toward her locker: 107. She opens it and puts her bag in it, grabbing a thin and dusty binder and walking to her first class: English. She sits in the back. A dirty looking kid walks up to her, named Matt-
Matt Close-
Name’s Matt. You don’t look too excited.
Rachel Roth-
Well, that should reflect my mood.
Matt Close-
Well, listen
you want some pot?
Rachel Roth-
No.
Matt Close-
Cause, I’ll give you the first bag for free.
Rachel Roth-
I’m fine.
Matt Close-
Your loss.
-Matt walks off. The teacher comes in, long gray hair and an old looking suit-
Mr. Blame-
My name is Mr. Blame. This is 11th grade English, by this time you should know how to write a sentence so I want you to write one positive thing about yourself and we’ll read them aloud.
-Rachel looks down at a piece of paper she has just pulled out. She grabs a pencil and puts it down. She looks over at Matt who while writing he seems to loose control over his laughter. Rachel rolls her eyes-
Mr. Blame-
Alright, Matt Close, would you care to read yours?
Matt Close-
Um
I’m the kindest person in the world
when I’m high.
-The class bursts out in laughter. Mr. Blame gives Matt a piercing look-
Mr. Blame-
Go to the principle’s office.
Matt Close-
What?
Mr. Blame-
NOW!
-Matt Close leaves the room. Mr. Blame looks around the classroom; their faces are all puckered. Mr. Blame looks toward Ralph-
Mr. Blame-
Ralph Robbertson?
Ralph-
Well, I’m a very good football player.
Mr. Blame-
Interesting. Well
Rachel Roth?
Rachel Roth-
I can’t pick.
Mr. Blame-
You a really good person?
Rachel Roth-
No. I can’t find anything good about me.
Mr. Blame-
Class, this is what I don’t like in my class, when a negative attitude allows for a student not to do their work. Alright
now-
-Rachel’s eyebrows rise. A quick furious storm rises over her; the lights in the room begin to flicker. A few students whisper among themselves-
Mr. Blame-
Now, now, it’s just some flickering.
-Cut to the Gym. A group of girls are all lined up, in orange gym shorts and black t-shirts with orange lines on them. Mrs. Willis walks back and forth holding a volley ball-
Mrs. Willis-
Alright ladies, where going to play some volley ball today, just serve the ball over the net, hit it back and so forth and so forth, I trust you know how to hit a ball? Good. Alright, I’ll divide you into teams. Jesse, Tailor, Rebecca, Jessica and
Rachel, your all on that side.
-Mrs. Willis points toward the other side of the large net in the Gym. They begin to walk over-
Mrs. Willis-
Yall will be on this side.
-Mrs. Willis throws a volleyball toward a girl-
Mrs. Willis-
Play some ball.
-Jessica is about to serve the ball, she sees Rachel looking down at the floor. Jessica throws it in the air, hits it and it goes flying and smacks Rachel in the back of the head. She puts a hand on the back of her head-
Mrs. Willis-
What was that?
Jessica-
Sorry! Not very good at this
-The other girls laugh. Mrs. Willis approaches Rachel-
Mrs. Willis-
You okay?
Rachel Roth-
Um
yeah. I’m fine.
Mrs. Willis-
Are you sure you don’t want to sit this one out?
Rachel Roth-
No, I’m fine.
Mrs. Willis-
Alright, let’s play fair.
-Jessica throws it up in the air, hits it and it flies across to the other side. A girl there hits it other toward Rachel. She hits it and it flies over to the other side. On the way over, black flames begin to spark on it, a girl catches it, then immediately drops it after feeling a burn. Rachel’s eyes widen. Cut to Rachel waiting in line in a Cafeteria. The line goes on, on and on. Kids whisper to themselves. Rachel looks at see a Police Officer by a door. The noises of forks and spoons clashing make it for a fast-paced rush. Matt Close is behind her-
Matt Close-
Hay
your um
your
Rachel! Right?
Rachel Roth-
Yes.
Matt Close-
You look down, anything wrong?
Rachel Roth-
No. I’m
“fine”.
Matt Close-
Um
listen, about what happened in English
I didn’t mean to offend
that teacher is just an asshole.
Rachel Roth-
Well, I’m sure there was a purpose for what he did.
Matt Close-
Yeah
listen, what are you doing after school?
Rachel Roth-
I’m returning to my foster parents.
Matt Close-
You got some of those also? No way man, I got mine my parents didn’t like me sitting around, skipping school, so they ran off, but they where just losers. What about you?
Rachel Roth-
My mother died.
Matt Close-
I’m sorry
you want my chocolate milk?
Rachel Roth-
If you don’t mind.
Matt Close-
So
are we, like, friends now?
Rachel Roth-
Sure.
Matt Close-
Awesome. What are you doing this weekend?
Rachel Roth-
Nothing.
Matt Close-
Want.. to.. like.. go to a party?
Rachel Roth-
No, I don’t.
Matt Close-
Oh
your lose.
-Cut to Rachel putting her trey down on the table. It’s a piece of beard, corn, a carrot, milk and a brownie. Matt sits right by her-
Matt Close-
I hope those are pot brownies
heheheheh
Rachel Roth-
Could you possibly not talk about pot for about ten minutes, you’re becoming very repetitive and stereotypical.
Matt Close-
What is stereotypical?
-A thin yet tall red head scholar who could easily pass for 20 walks up-
Bully-
Hay, what are you freaks doing?
Matt Close-
We where
Rachel Roth-
Where just eating are lunch. Minding our own business.
Bully-
I didn’t know they had an entire table reserved for people who where ugly as shit.
Rachel Roth-
Please go.
Bully-
Whoa! Watch your tongue
you stupid bitch!
-Rachel leaps forward and grabs him by the neck and pushes him toward the ground. He knees her in the stomach, she rolls off-
Bully-
What the hell!
-Rachel leaps up and punches him in the face; he grabs his face and falls back. The cop comes behind Rachel and pulls out some cuffs, and then he begins to cuff her. The rest of the students begin to look at her and chat among themselves. Cut to a cop car pulling up to a house in the woods. Rachel walks up the creaky front porch as a gray haired woman signs papers from an officer. Rachel walks past the rather nice living room, to the very dusty stairs and toward her room. Her room contains the following: a double bed with a purple blanket, a brown book shelf that contains no books, a desk with a rather nice and comfy looking chair and a window. The floor is dark red and the wallpaper is, or used to be a dark blue coat with thin black lines going down, it now looks like just some gray with a line or two appearing every once and awhile. Rachel gets on her bed, pulls out a picture from under her bed and begins to look at it. A thin looking woman, with long gorgeous looking hair and a
big belly with a very nice looking man with blonde hair. She puts the picture down as the door begins to be knocked upon-
Kathy- (From behind door)
Rachel?
Rachel Roth-
Come in
-The door opens and Kathy, Rachel’s foster parent comes in. Kathy has silky gray hair, but her skin looks smooth, wearing a red sweater top and jeans. She looks at Rachel, feeling both angry and sympathy-
Kathy-
What happened today?
Rachel Roth-
It’s over. It’s all over.
Kathy-
Look, Rachel
I know it’s a tough world
you’re a strong person, you’ve been through worse.
Rachel Roth-
What would you know?
Kathy-
When my Husband died, it was hard to get up in the morning and not to see his smile. It was hard to walk around the home he called heaven. But I knew that if I just quit, then I would let him down. He wanted me to try my best and enjoy my life. Listen: you get some rest. Think about everything, I’ll come back when supper is ready.
-Kathy gets up and walks out. Rachel lays on her bed and looks up. Tears begin to shed from her eyes. She closes her eyes and wraps her arms around herself, a blanket, protecting her from anything that brought harm. Rachel bits her lip as tears stream down quick, she tries her best not to making any noises. The screen begins to fade into black. The waves clash against the hard metal coating of the boat at sea. A Captain directs sailors to their posts trying to make sure the thing doesn’t fall apart on them. Inside the boat is a select few passengers one of them being a young Rachel Roth. Looks to be at age 10. An old man stands beside her, wearing a dark robe-
Aunder-
The storm should settle by morning.
Young Rachel Roth-
Where are we going Aunder?
Aunder-
To London.
Young Rachel Roth-
Is Mom in London?
-Aunder looks at Rachel’s big eyes, both of them are full of curiosity and fear. Aunder looks down-
Aunder-
No.
Young Rachel Roth-
Where is she?
Aunder-
Azarath. Back at Azarath.
Young Rachel Roth-
Why didn’t she come?
Aunder-
She was
busy.
Young Rachel Roth-
How long are we going to be in London?
-Aunder swallows the truth down his throat-
Aunder-
For a few days.
-Rachel looks down. She sees something from the cracks of the boat, something lurking in the inner heart of the boat. Six yellow eyes, three on one side and the three on the other begin to shine. This captures Rachel but they slowly fade away. Aunder looks into her eyes and sees the reflection. He grabs Rachel and bears her into his arms, holding as tight as he can-
Aunder-
Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos
-Aunder closes his eyes and continues to repeat this chant, again and again. Cut back to Rachel laying on her bed. The sky is dark. Kathy walks in-
Kathy-
It’s about time for bed.
-Rachel blinks several times at this, baffled at what Kathy said-
Rachel Roth-
What?
Kathy-
Time for bed.
Rachel Roth-
Oh
Kathy-
Would you like a little something to eat before you go to bed?
Rachel Roth-
No thanks.
Kathy-
Alright
night.
-Kathy closes the door as she leaves the room. Rachel turns to look at the stars. She sees a star flashing red. It captures her like it did those eyes. She stares at it till her eye lids begin to shut, Rachel lays back down, grabbing a grey stiched up pillow and holding it tight. The screen fades to black. We return to the room with bright day-light. The door begins to knock-
Kathy- (Behind door)
Rachel
time to get up
-Rachel rushes upward. She opens a cabient and pulls out a t-shirt. It’s black with thin white strips, she quickly takes off her shoulder-less black long sleeve and puts it on. Rachel runs down the stairs and to the kitchen. It’s dark and there seems to be green paint on the walls but a thick layer of dust makes it hard to tell. The chairs look rotten with the expection of one. It stands out between the other two because it’s very new looking and a red cloth is placed on the seat. Rachel sits there. A picture of Kathy and a older looking man with a thick brown moustache hangs over the stoove. Kathy walks in holding a plate that contains buttered toast and a glass of milk. She sets it down infront of her. Kathy sits next to her in one of those horrid looking chairs, it makes a loud creak noise. Rachel grabs a piece of toast and takes a bite out of it as she stares at the picture-
Kathy-
Did you sleep well?
-Rachel looks at Kathy then instantly looks down at a reflection of herself in the plate. It appears as if she’s wearing eyeliner but it’s obviously strain on her eyes-
Rachel Roth-
Yes.
Kathy-
Rachel
I want you to know that I’m here to help you.
Rachel Roth-
I know.
-Rachel takes another bite and takes a sip of the milk. Her lips are dry and the milk doesn’t help that much. A few seconds of awkard silence begins until Kathy looks at the picture that Rachel was interested in minutes ago-
Kathy-
That’s him. Kindest man to ever walk this Earth. He told me that no matter what, I should always be happy. I always follow his word.
-Rachel looks out the window to see some yellow object from the distance-
Rachel Roth-
I think that’s the bus.
-Rachel gets up-
Kathy-
Oh, that reminds me, I’m sorry that I forgot to get you for supper last night.
Rachel Roth-
It’s alright.
Kathy-
No, that’s why tonight I’m going to make you a very special meal.
Rachel Roth-
Oh
alright.
Kathy-
Alright, well, I hope you have me a good day at school.
Rachel Roth-
So do I.
-Rachel walks out the kitchen and grabs her bag along the way out of the door. Leaves blow in the wind as Rachel walks off the front porch. The noises of childern can be heard even thought the bus will not arrive for another minute or two. Rachel looks around at the near by woods. The trees are all twisted in differnet shapes, offering a intriguning yet freighting sight. Rachel shivers briefly. The bus pulls up like a giant menacing figure. The door flings open and Rachel slowly walks up to it. She walks past all the children and sits down in the very back. Rachel looks down at the floor patiently waiting for the bus to stop-
Matt Close- (Off screen)
Hey
-Rachel looks up to see Matt Close-
Matt Close-
Mind if I sit?
Rachel Roth-
Go ahead.
-Rachel softly scoots over and Matt takes a seat right by her-
Matt Close-
So.. um
did you get in trouble for punching that guy
Rachel Roth-
No.
Matt Close-
Well, listen, I got a car
Rachel Roth-
What?
Matt Close-
I got a car.
Rachel Roth-
Oh
Matt Close-
Foster parents gave it to me for my 17th birthday.
Rachel Roth-
Congrats.
Matt Close-
But gas costs too much so I’m riding the bus.
Rachel Roth-
Why don’t you get a job?
Matt Close-
It’s just to much work man. Too much work. What about yourself?
Rachel Roth-
Haven’t thought about it yet.
Matt Close-
You wanna hang out some time?
-Rachel looks around as if there might be something to save her. After a few seconds she returns-
Rachel Roth-
Sure.
Matt Close-
Like when?
Rachel Roth-
I don’t know.
Matt Close-
How about after school
Rachel Roth-
I don’t see why not.
Matt Close-
Cool
Rachel Roth-
Tis.
Matt Close-
So
um
what do you do for fun?
Rachel Roth-
Nothing.
Matt Close-
You don’t do anything?
Rachel Roth-
Never seem to have much fun.
Matt Close-
Well, when you hang out with me, I’m sure we’ll have fun.
Rachel Roth-
I hope so.
Matt Close-
Do you watch a lot of TV?
Rachel Roth-
No.
Matt Close-
Do you watch any?
Rachel Roth-
None.
Matt Close-
Have you ever watched any TV?
Rachel Roth-
Yes.
Matt Close-
What was it?
Rachel Roth-
The news.
Matt Close-
Oh
-Matt looks around the bus and by the time he looks at Rachel, she is off looking outside, he sighs. Cut to Jump High School. Rachel gets off the bus and looks around. Almost everyone is already inside. She looks over at her right to see another bus unloading. Rachel notices someone. He has raven black hair, creamy skin and is well fit. His name is Alex and he wears a black t-shirt and blue jeans, holding a red binder he walks into the school and for that moment of his arrival from the bus into the school, Rachel just stares at him the entire time. She immediately looks around her to see if anyone else was looking at her, she sees no one who could have done that and begins to walk into the school. Mr. Blame’s English Class, the peers talk among themselves as Mr. Blame searches through his massive stack of papers. Rachel chips at her eraser when the intercom comes on-
Intercom- (VO)
Rachel Roth, to the counselor’s office.
-Everyone turns to look at her for a brief moment. Rachel gets up and walks out of the room. Cut to the counselor’s office. The shelves are full of different books on different topics that cover the basics: suicide, sex and drugs. A stereotypical red apple sits on top of desk next to a nice and neat clean stack of papers. Several degrees are framed on the back wall. Josephine Miller, late thirties, short blonde hair and a sweet yet bitter personality. She looks at the door as Rachel closes it behind her and takes a seat in a red cushioned chair. They stare at eachother in silence for the briefest moment-
Josephine Miller-
Rachel, I heard about your fight yesterday. Would you care to explain?
-Rachel tilts her head done and looks at her shoes-
Josephine Miller-
Did you assault someone?
-Rachel looks back up at her-
Rachel Roth-
I wouldn’t word it as that.
Josephine Miller-
Well, you did attack him.
Rachel Roth-
He was mocking me.
Josephine Miller-
However, that is not how we deal with that. Listen
Rachel, you have to control yourself.
Rachel Roth-
I know.
Josephine Miller-
I know it must be hard to lose your parents at such an early age and move to a different country as long as you have been there but you have to be able to think about something before you can do it. Are you having a hard time here?
Rachel Roth-
Yes.
Josephine Miller-
How do you think you could, express these feelings in a positive way?
Rachel Roth-
I don’t know.
Josephine Miller-
You can’t just bottle up all your emotions you know. Do you have any hobbies?
Rachel Roth-
No.
Josephine Miller-
When you get home, what do you do?
Rachel Roth-
Sleep.
Josephine Miller-
You ever walk?
Rachel Roth-
Not often.
Josephine Miller-
Next time you ever feel angry or sad, just take a walk.
Rachel Roth-
How does that help?
Josephine Miller-
It gives you some fresh air, time to think, helps to get your mind off of things.
Rachel Roth-
Alright
-Rachel suddenly grabs her side and grinds her teeth for a second-
Josephine Miller-
Something wrong?
Rachel Roth-
Nothing
just some stomach pain
Josephine Miller-
You should go to the nurse, get something for it. Well Rachel, I just wanted to say that it’s all going to get better
-Josephine grabs a small yellow piece of paper and scribbles something onto that-
Josephine Miller-
That should confirm your teacher you where here
-She hands it to her-
Josephine Miller-
Now, you go on and have a good day.
-Rachel stands up and begins to walk out-
Rachel Roth-
I’ll try.
-Cut to Rachel walking down the long hallway of lockers, she keeps holding onto her side, she begins to flinch a few times-
Rachel Roth-
God
damnit
-Rachel begins to cry-
Rachel Roth-
Why
-She stops and leans against a locker. The lockers begin to slowly open by themselves. As the more they open, Rachel seems to be in more pain. But in a quick rush, they all slam shut and Rachel lets go of her side, gets up, wipes her tears and continues to walk on. Cut to the front of the school. The bell rings and the doors quickly open unleashing all the teenagers. Some get on the bus, some get into their cars while some just wait. Rachel stands outside the parking lot looking at the dark green grass and how it moves in the wind. Matt comes up behind her-
Matt Close-
You
um
ready?
Rachel Roth-
Sure.
-Cut to Rachel getting into Matt’s car. The red paint is fading and the dashboard has countless coffee stains. The back seat is full of assorted fast-food bags and Pepsi cans. Matt starts the car up and begins to drive out of the school parking lot and into town. Jump City is full of different buildings of different sizes, people walk the side walks looking only ahead. Children sit on the front porch staring out on to society making comments. Rachel stares at all the different sorts of persons and buildings, examining them all closely-
Matt Close-
So
um
how was your day?
Rachel Roth-
I don’t know.
Matt Close-
Oh
-Rachel looks down at her shoes. A spider begins to crawl over them, she quickly smashes it with her other foot-
Rachel Roth-
Where are we going?
Matt Close-
To this old skate-park I hang out at.
Rachel Roth-
Do you skate?
Matt Close-
No man, never good. It’s just far away from most adults.
Rachel Roth-
Oh
what does that have anything to do with hanging out?
Matt Close-
So they don’t come up and start bugging you and stuff.
Rachel Roth-
Oh.
-Rachel stops talking and turns her head to look outside again-
Matt Close-
About another, four minutes till we are there.
-Rachel continues to look outside. Cut to the skate-park. The wind blows leaves through the empty built in pool by the ramps. It’s all just flat concrete placed infront of dead woods at the end outskirts of Jump City. There is some graffiti but it’s mucked up by years of rain. Matt stops his car a few feet away from the pool and gets out. Rachel does the same and they go near a wooden bench. Spray painted on it is “Who watches the
” The rest appears to be smeared away. Rachel sits on her hands while Matt sticks his into his pocket-
Matt Close-
So
where did you use to live?
Rachel Roth-
When I was around 10 I was moved to England, before that, I don’t remember much before that. Moved here a few days ago.
Matt Close-
Been to a lot of school?
Rachel Roth-
Home schooled in England the entire time I was there.
Matt Close-
What do you think of it so far?
Rachel Roth-
Tough.
Matt Close-
Yeah
it is. Just gotta have fun when you can.
Rachel Roth-
I wish I could have fun.
-Rachel looks up at the sky-
Rachel Roth-
I wonder what it would be like to be up there. Just afloat.
Matt Close-
It’d be great.
Rachel Roth-
Yes.
-Matt pulls out a marijuana cigarette from his pocket. Rachel looks down at it-
Matt Close-
You mind?
-Rachel keeps looking at it-
Rachel Roth-
No, go ahead.
-Matt pulls out a lighter from his other pocket and lights it and then starts to smoke it. He shoots out puff rings. He sees Rachel looking fascinated-
Matt Close-
Do you want one?
-Rachel quickly looks around her to see if anyone is there-
Rachel Roth-
Well
if
if you don’t mind.
Matt Close-
I don’t.
-Matt hands her the lit join-
Matt Close-
Just inhale and let go
-Rachel lifts it toward her mouth. She stares at the smoke rising from it’s tip, enlightened. She places it in the tip of her dry lips and begins to inhale. A few seconds later she begins to cough for a few moments. She hands it to him
Matt Close-
Takes some getting used to.
-Matt takes another smoke, puffs it out and hands it to Rachel again. The same thing happens expect her coughing is slightly shorter. Cut to Matt’s car driving away from Kathy’s house. Rachel opens the front door and goes straight toward the kitchen. She opens several cabinets digging through the jars-
Rachel Roth-
Let us see
beans
beans
-Rachel stops-
Rachel Roth-
Ugh.
-She turns around and heads for the fridge, she opens it and grabs a jug of milk. She snaps off the cap quickly and starts drinking directly from it, after 2 big gulps, she puts it down and opens another cabinet. It only takes a bit of time to find a box of crackers. She then walks up to her room, opens the door and jumps onto her bed and begins to eat while she looks outside. After a few minutes, she puts the box down and lays her head on the pillow, closes her eyes and begins to sleep. Fade to Azarath: a underground city. There is several large buildings that cannot many rooms, but the highlight of this hidden society is the Temple. Aunder stands behind a large red podium with black swirls on it. The pews are filled with people in white robes, candles hang from the ceiling-
Aunder-
Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos.
-Aunder closes a book-
Aunder-
Now
are their any newcomers today?
-Aunder looks around the room. A woman stands up and begins to walk down the pathway. She has long dark hair, a skinny frame, sad eyes, puckered lips, and a large belly-
Arella Roth-
I.
Aunder-
Come up here child.
-Arella makes her way toward Aunder-
Aunder-
Why do you come here today?
Arella Roth-
I’ve been hurt. And I cannot forget it.
Aunder-
We have all been hurt in our times.
Arella Roth-
I want help. I don’t want to be hurt anymore.
Aunder-
That is why we are here. We are here to join together and bring this city peace. Are you of faith?
Arella Roth-
I am now.
Aunder-
We will help and in the future events
you’ll help us.
Arella Roth-
Thank you. Thank you so much.
-Fade to back to Rachel. She gets up and walks outside and begins to go deep into the woods. The trees are all in twisted shapes, both looking sorrow and fierce. Dead leafs float around, causing a haunted feel. Rachel keeps walking-
Rachel Roth-
They cannot be coincidences. Lockers don’t just open and close themselves
emotions
hmm
-Rachel looks at a tall, monstrous tree that stands looking among the others. Rachel looks up it’s long slender trunk. She closes her eyes and begins to think hard. She raises her hands together, opening her palms and pointing them toward the center of the tree. After a while she closes them together. Purple mist, following freely begins to emerge from the gaps of her fingers. Rachel opens her hands, a black beam shoots out toward the tree, outlined by the purple mist. It goes straight through the tree, leaving purple fog rising from it, burnt. Rachel opens her eyes, and stares at it in awe. Tears slowly fall from her eyes. She falls down on her knees-
Rachel Roth-
No, no
-Rachel looks at her palms, their as normal as ever-
Rachel Roth-
Please
-Rachel covers her face as she cries. Cut to Kathy’s home. Rachel paces around her room. Kathy walks in-
Kathy-
You alright?
-Rachel stops-
Rachel Roth-
Yeah. Why?
Kathy-
Just checking.
Rachel Roth-
Oh, okay.
Kathy-
How did school go?
Rachel Roth-
It was alright.
Kathy-
Any troubles?
Rachel Roth-
No
Kathy-
Why didn’t you ride the bus?
Rachel Roth-
Got a ride from a peer.
Kathy-
A friend?
Rachel Roth-
Yes.
Kathy-
A boyfriend?
Rachel Roth-
No. Not at all.
Kathy-
Well, listen, I’m gonna go into town and pick some things up for supper, will you be alright by yourself?
Rachel Roth-
Yes.
Kathy-
Alright then
-Kathy closes the door behind her. Rachel quickly grabs a small black book from under her bed. She opens it, and takes out a picture of her mother and her father. She begins to look at it hard. Cut to Rachel standing in the bathtub. She begins to turn and twist the knob-
Rachel Roth-
Damnit
-Rachel keeps twisting and eventually the showerhead rushes a blast of cold water onto her pale naked body, Rachel jumps quickly in shock. Rachel grabs a bar of soap of begins to wipe it on her stomach. After a few seconds the water immediately changes from cold to hot, again, Rachel jumps up-
Rachel Roth-
GODDAMNIT!
-Rachel quickly turns the shower off, and walks out of it. She goes up to the sink of which above it is a mirror. Under the sink is a cabinet, she opens it and pulls out a towel and begins to dry her hair. She stops for a second to look at herself in the mirror, and at first glance, she drops the towel and begins to look closer. Rachel notices the bags under her eyes. She looks down at her breasts then her legs-
Rachel Roth-
Who am I?
-After a few seconds of looking down, she picks up the towel and continues to dry herself. Cut to Rachel in a black t-shirt and dark red shorts sitting at the dinner table, picking at a plate of chicken breasts and buttered toast. Kathy sits across from her eating her food-
Kathy-
So, tell me about this friend of yours.
Rachel Roth-
His name is Matt.
Kathy-
Is he nice?
Rachel Roth-
Yes.
-Rachel stops for a few seconds to think over what she has said-
Rachel Roth-
Yes.
Kathy-
How is class going?
Rachel Roth-
It’s alright so far.
Kathy-
Better then yesterday?
Rachel Roth-
Much so.
Kathy-
I’m making another trip to town tomorrow, forgot a few things, is there anything you need specifically?
Rachel Roth-
No, not really.
-Rachel takes a bite-
Kathy-
Sure?
Rachel Roth-
Yes.
Kathy-
Alright.
-Cut to Rachel in her bed, constantly adjusting her sheet. She rolls around for a bit before going into a daze: Rachel is in the middle of woods, in a bathrobe. She stares at the trees around her, the begin to twist into monstrous shapes, growing large blade like teeth from their trunks. They all begin to violently scream at once, in perfect harmony. Rachel gets on her knees, covers her eyes with her hands and screams back and after a while, the trees are begin to be quiet and return to normal. She stands up and begins to look around. A light shines from the distance. Rachel is captured by this and looks closer, it is Alex. He walks up to her and smiles a gorgeous smile. She looks down at her own feet awkwardly, her bathrobe drops to reveal her nude body. Alex grabs her by her thighs and brings her closer to him, he presses his body against hers and begins to kiss her on the lips. Rachel wakes up. She looks around her, to see if anyone was watching. She lies back down, with an
awkward smile. Cut to Rachel standing outside the house. Her very tight, long sleeve shirt is black with dozens in white swirls on it. Below that is a black skirt with long black and white striped socks. Rachel looks down at her body to re-assure herself that it is hers and that she looks acceptable. The bus pulls up. Rachel quickly gets on and sits as far back as she can. She looks around to see if Matt is there, which he isn’t. Instead she notices Alex a few seats infront of her listening to his I-Pod. Rachel turns to look out the window-
Rachel Roth-
There he is
what do I do?
-Rachel takes a deep swallow and gets up and walks to the first seat infront of her, sits down and looks at the side of the head of Alex who sits directly infront of her-
Rachel Roth-
Hi
-Alex continues to listen to his I-Pod. Rachel looks around, then gently tapes him on the shoulder. He takes his earphones off and looks at her-
Alex-
Hey.
Rachel Roth-
Hi.
Alex-
What’s up?
Rachel Roth-
Nothing.
-Rachel looks down at her feet, a awkward silence begins-
Rachel Roth-
I’m Ra
Ra
Rachel!
-Rachel lets out a nervous chuckle. Alex smiles and begins to shake her hand-
Alex-
Nice to met you
-Rachel keeps firmly holding onto his hand, Alex lets go-
Rachel Roth-
I’m sorry
Alex-
No, it’s alright.
Rachel Roth-
So
um
how long have you been in Jump City?
Alex-
My entire life.
Rachel Roth-
Cool
I just moved here.
Alex-
Where did you live before?
Rachel Roth-
London, moved there when I was ten, I think.
Alex-
What about before then?
Rachel Roth-
I don’t know much about before then.
Alex-
Cool. So
how do you like Jump City so far?
Rachel Roth-
It’s alright, although I haven’t seen much of it.
Alex-
How old are you?
Rachel Roth-
17.
Alex-
Cool, I just turned 17 also.
Rachel Roth-
So
what are your hobbies?
-Rachel bites her tongue quickly to punish herself for what she believes was a cheesy question-
Alex-
Not much. I like to draw.
Rachel Roth-
I’m not very good at drawing.
Alex-
It’s alright. Not a lot of people are.
Rachel Roth-
I like walking
walks that is.
Alex-
Cool.
-Rachel looks around, waiting for him to say something-
Rachel Roth-
Um
so
-Rachel looks around-
Alex-
Well
looks like we’re there. I’ll
. I’ll see you at lunch?
Rachel Roth-
Of course.
-The bus stops. Alex gets up and quickly walks off. Rachel gives a big sigh, lifts herself up and walks off also. Cut to Rachel sitting down in Mr. Blame’s room-
Mr. Blame-
Alright everyone, we’ve had two days of getting to know eachother so let’s begin working. First of all, I want to know how good all of you can write, so, pull out a sheet of paper and a pencil and write about anything you won’t and don’t stop for 15 minutes. Begin.
-Rachel quickly pulls out a sheet of paper and a pencil and begins to write for a few minutes. She begins to re-read it via silent whispering-
Rachel Roth-
I was walking in the woods when on an odd tree limb (not that any of them look normal) was a little white bird. I’m not a expert on birds, but it was probably young. I tried to grab a hold of it but it flew off, but not far. So, having nothing else to do I continued to try and catch it (although I wouldn’t know what to do with it had I done so). So, it got rather high in a tree and I began to climb a few limbs to get up to it (but refused to venture to high) and almost had it till it flew off, out of sight. So, I began to walk away.
-Rachel quickly looks over it again and then makes motions for her pencil to appear as if she was writing something. Cut to Rachel in Gym class on the basketball court. Everyone else is playing basketball rather intensely while Rachel slowly walks up and down the court staring down at the floor. After a while someone shouts at her-
Girl-
CATCH!
-Rachel looks up and catches the basketball but as soon as she gets it, it’s taken by someone else who runs across the court and slam-dunks it. Rachel watches with a dull look. Cut to the locker room. The girls are either removing or putting on clothing. Some chat, some quickly get the job done, others apply makeup and brush their hair but Rachel, putting her jeans on just looks at some of the girls, she carefully examines their bodies, remembering each detail. Cut to Rachel sitting down at lunch. On her trey is a milk, a apple, a sandwhich and a few bits of carrots. She grabs the apple, takes a bite out of it, chews it for a few seconds and then spits it out-
Rachel Roth-
I hate the red part.
Alex-
Never liked it either.
-Rachel turns around to see Alex. She smiles giddily, and he sits next to her-
Rachel Roth-
Hi!
Alex-
Hi
how has your day been going?
Rachel Roth-
Decent.
Alex-
Cool.
-Alex takes a swig from his milk and a bite from his sandwhich-
Rachel Roth-
So
um
do you have PE?
Alex-
No.
Rachel Roth-
Oh
Alex-
What are you doing today?
Rachel Roth-
Like
what do you mean?
Alex-
After School.
Rachel Roth-
Probably take a walk, sleep. The usual.
Alex-
Oh
cool.
Rachel Roth-
Are you riding the bus?
Alex-
I normally drive but I’d rather ride the bus.
Rachel Roth-
Keen.
Alex-
Keen?
Rachel Roth-
Fine or sharp. I use it as a substitute for “cool”.
Alex-
Cool
er
keen.
-Rachel giggles. Alex smiles at her. Rachel picks up her milk and drinks it-
Alex-
You drink a lot of milk?
Rachel Roth-
Not a lot. I actually don’t drink nor eat a lot.
Alex-
Oh
I don’t do that much either.
Rachel Roth-
Hurm
Alex-
So
um
what class do you have next?
Rachel Roth-
Health.
Alex-
Neat.
-The bell begins to ring. Rachel begins to get up with her tray until Alex grabs it-
Alex-
It’s alright, I can get it besides
don’t want to be late for Health.
Rachel Roth-
Oh
thank you.
-Rachel waves him goodbye and walks off. Cut to the Health Room. The health teacher, Mr. Tedder is nearly 7 feet tall, bald, wearing a black muscle shirt. In the corner of the room is a skeleton, Rachel’s desk it right by it. The chalk board Is blank expect for the words “Health”. Most of the chairs are empty, there is enough room for 30 students but there is eight. The teacher looks around the room for a brief moment. A student infront of Rachel turns around and looks at her for a second-
Health Student-
I had to double check to make sure there wasn’t too skeletons in the room.
-Quickly as he said this, he turned around. Rachel just bites her lip-
Mr. Tedder-
You might know a few things about Cigarettes. But I’m hear to give you the straight truth: THEY WILL KILL YOU.
-Rachel giggles-
Mr. Tedder-
Rachel? Is there something you’d like to say?
Rachel Roth-
Not at all.
Mr. Tedder-
Then it’d be best If you be quiet. Alright, Cigarettes kill you as you all should know. Now, be honest: how many of you have ever smoked a cigarette in your life. I won’t prosecute you
it’s not my job.
-The students do nothing. Rachel slowly raises her hand-
Mr. Tedder-
Rachel
how was it?
Rachel Roth-
It was okay.
Mr. Tedder-
It may be okay now, but years later, it’s not going be okay. I don’t want you to smoke, I don’t want any of you to smoke. I want you to live. Got that?
-The students all say “Got that” in a slow, uninterested tone. Rachel sits quietly-
Mr. Tedder-
Got that?
Rachel Roth-
Sure.
Mr. Tedder-
Good. Now-
-Cut to the bus. Rachel quickly gets onto it, sitting as far back from anyone as she can till Alex comes out sits beside her-
Alex-
Hello!
Rachel Roth-
Hey
Alex-
How was Health?
Rachel Roth-
Had the stereotypical talk about cigarettes.
Alex-
Oh
do you smoke?
Rachel Roth-
No. Although I told him I did, just to see if it’d mess with him.
Alex-
Did it?
Rachel Roth-
A little.
Alex-
Do you like to mess with teachers?
Rachel Roth-
Not really. Just on subject matter like that.
Alex-
Why?
Rachel Roth-
I don’t know, just some nerve in me that tells me to do.
Alex-
Oh
have you had many relationships?
Rachel Roth-
Like “friends” or “boyfriend/girlfriend”?
Alex-
Boyfriend/girlfriend.
Rachel Roth-
No. Never really talked to anyone that interested me. Never even had a first kiss.
Alex-
Really?
Rachel Roth-
Don’t laugh.
Alex-
I wasn’t.
Rachel Roth-
Good.
Alex-
I’ve
well
never had a first kiss either
Rachel Roth-
Oh
-Rachel looks directly at Alex, staring into his eyes. She leans toward him slowly, as he does the same. For a second, their eyes capture one another knowing exactly what they are going to do. Rachel leans in a bit more, subtly puckering her lips. Their lips meet one another, and they kiss for a brief second. Rachel quickly leans back and takes attention to Alex, to see his face glow with a smile. They both grin in silence. Cut to the bus pulling up at the house. Rachel leaps from the bus’ stairs onto the leaf covered ground and quickly rushes into the house, up the stairs closing her door behind her as she hits the bed, holding herself with a smile. Cut to Rachel sitting at the dinner table, infront of Kathy, eating her carrots- |

Kathy-
So
how was school?
Rachel Roth-
It was alright
Kathy-
Honey, it doesn’t seem it was just “alright”, your glowing!
Rachel Roth-
Eh
Kathy-
Come on?
Rachel Roth-
It’s nothing
Kathy-
Was it a boy?
Rachel Roth-
Um
Kathy-
It was! Wasn’t it?
Rachel Roth-
Well
Kathy-
Do tell
Rachel Roth-
His name is Alex
and
and
I just can’t stop thinking about him!
-Rachel blurts that last bit out and quickly looks around the run, to once again, reassure herself no one heard it-
Kathy-
Your first love?
Rachel Roth-
Yes
Kathy-
I remember mine.
Rachel Roth-
And how did that go?
Kathy-
It was an adolescent thing
for me that is.
Rachel Roth-
Oh
it feels weird
weird to tell someone that.
Kathy-
It’s alright. Your first love
I’m so glad I could see it.
Rachel Roth-
Oh
-Rachel stabs a piece of carrot with a fork and slowly chews it in silence. Cut to Rachel, sleeping in her bed as the moon softly rises in the dark woods beyond the window. Fade back to Azarath. Arella stands, in the gentle wind wearing a long red dress which shows her skinny frame. She leans against a dark green bush, in the middle of a small park. Holes above let light shine properly. Only a few others walk among this park. She looks at the white roses, with those deep and sad eyes. Arella looks around the dark, hidden city. A blonde headed, rather fit man with dark blue eyes and light skin walks up behind her-
Adam-
Why are you so sad?
Arella Roth-
Huh?
Adam-
You look sad.
Arella Roth-
The last members of my Family recently past away, and I’m here
where ever this is
stuck under this earth.
Adam-
Azarath was a wonderful place.
Arella Roth-
I’m sure it was.
Adam-
Hundreds of years ago, a group of people who belonged to what most considered witchcraft, traveled down here, to protect them and future generations from a demon god called Trigon.
-Arella looks at him for a moment and they both laugh-
Adam-
Sorry about that
Arella Roth-
It’s a odd thing to tell someone you just met that is.
Adam-
That’s probably why I’m single.
Arella Roth-
Yeah
I never got your name.
Adam-
I’m Adam.
Arella Roth-
Arella.
Adam-
It’s a pleasure to met you.
Arella Roth-
If you could Adam, would you leave this place?
Adam-
Yes. But on one condition.
Arella Roth-
What?
Adam-
If I took a good looking girl like you with me.
-Arella blushes-
Arella Roth-
You don’t have to be so kind.
Adam-
I choose to be.
-Arella smiles. Cut to both of holding hands, walking down a large merchant marker. Dozens of people crowd around different stands, buying all sorts of different things ranging from little stuffed dolls to entire feasts. They both approach a older looking man behind his stand-
Adam-
What do you have to sell?
Merchant-
Oh, your gonna love this, you see, my father wasn’t from Azarath!
Adam-
Really?
Merchant-
Yes, now, he apparently didn’t like it here and probably didn’t like me either so he left without me but everyone so 4 years he sends me something from a place called America. Now, what we have is
-The merchant grabs a Polaroid camera from under the purple carpet covering his empty stand-
Merchant-
A camera. You see, you point it at what you want to take a picture of, then you hold It still, hit this button and it takes the picture then after a few minutes, once it cools off you got yourself a picture.
Adam-
That’s great.
Merchant-
100.
Adam-
I don’t know about that
that’s rather costly
Merchant-
Well, listen, how about this: for 10 I’ll let you take a picture.
Adam-
Mmm
Arella Roth-
It’s whatever you want.
Adam-
I guess so.
Merchant-
Alrighty!
-Adam pulls out 10 small pieces of gold from a red sack attached to his clean pants. He hands it to the Merchant who happily pockets it-
Merchant-
What do you want a picture of?
-Adam pushes Arella forward-
Adam-
This lovely lady!
Arella-
Me?
Adam-
Of course!
Arella-
Thanks
-The Merchant gets the camera ready and points it at Arella-
Merchant-
Hold still
-The Merchant takes the photo. The Polaroid comes out and he holds it for a few minutes till it’s finished. He hands it to Adam-
Merchant-
There you go
-Adam and Arella begin to walk off. Cut to them, swimming in a small lake. Fog rises around them. They water goes up toward their necks. Both are near eachother-
Arella Roth-
It
It’s
so
cold.
Adam-
Yeah
it didn’t look th-th- that cold.
Arella Roth-
Yes
-Adam softly rubs Arella’s chin and pulls her closer. They begin to kiss, pressing their bodies together. Cut to a dark room, in a red sheeted bed, Arella lays down as Adam holds her hips and gently thrusts. Arella leans her head back, panting as he keeps going. He moves her head down and begins to kiss her on the neck. They both sweat as Adam continues to keep going. After a few minutes, Adam holds onto her tight, as Arella kisses him. Cut to both of them, both in white holding hands in the middle of a patch of white flowers as Aunder holds a book and looks at both of them-
Aunder-
And now
by the power of my fathers, I bring these two people together, till the end of their lives.
-Aunder closes the book and they both kiss, he looks at them with a strange curiosity. Cut to Aunder, sitting in a dark room, on the floor with a group of other older man all in white robes-
Aunder-
Fellow brothers, I believe the evil is upon us
Sage #1-
You are referring to Trigon?
Aunder-
Yes. It was said that when he came here, we would know. I saw a man today, and in his eyes I saw what was the evil that only Trigon possessed.
Sage #1-
Are you absolutely sure?
Sage #2-
What should we do?
Aunder-
I believe we should prepare. Prepare for hell itself to reign on us.
Sage #1-
I will inform the other guardians.
Aunder-
There is a problem.
Sage #2-
What?
Aunder-
I saw this man with a woman, I married them today you see and
she seemed pregnant.
Sage #1-
A spawn for Trigon?
Aunder-
It’s possible.
Sage #2-
How would you know that she is pregnant?
Aunder-
I sensed it.
Sage #2-
Well, I doubt
Sage #1-
Aunder’s senses have never been wrong and I don’t know why they would be now. I trust him.
-Aunder looks at them all with caution. Cut to Arella, heavily pregnant. She walks around a small room-
Arella Roth-
Adam?
-She walks up to the door and sees a note. She quickly grabs it and scans it quickly with her eyes, tears began to build up. Cut to a huge stone Temple. Two sages, including Aunder usher Arella up the steeps and into the first room which has a soft bed, she lays down on it-
Sage #1-
We are going to need you spread you legs
-Arella does this. The sage quickly grabs a cloth and is prepared to catch a child. Another is mixing a potion of some sorts while Aunder is reading from a book, rather frantically-
Aunder-
Alright, Arella
remember what we said to do?
-Arella, crying and in utter pain slowly nods her head-
Arella Roth-
I
I wi
wish
Adam was here
so much
Aunder-
I know, but we got to hurry up in order to get that child out
Sage #1-
Arella, we need you to push
Arella Roth-
I AM! I AM!
Aunder-
Stay calm
-The sage mixing the potion finishes and quickly takes it toward Arella’s face-
Arella Roth-
What is that?
Aunder-
It’s so sooth the muscles. Drink it.
-Arella quickly gulps it down-
Sage #1-
Keep pushing!
-Arella unleashes a loud scream and after a few minutes, Aunder is handed a baby in a cloth. He examines it quickly-
Aunder-
It’s a girl!
-Arella, sweaty and sore smiles-
Arella Roth-
Please
-Aunder quickly hands the child to her, she holds it closely-
Arella Roth-
Hello little girl
-Aunder looks out a window behind her. Two sets of three yellow eyes glow in the darkness. Aunder gasps-
Arella Roth-
Is
is everything alright?
Aunder-
It was nothing. Nothing at all.
-Aunder looks her directly in the eyes and sees the joy, he smiles. Cut to several years later, a young Rachel and Arella sit down in a patch of flowers in the park-
Young Rachel Roth-
Mommy, where is the sun?
Arella Roth-
Beyond the city darling, I told you this already
Young Rachel Roth-
I know. Where is Daddy?
Arella Roth-
You are in an asking mood.
Young Rachel Roth-
I saw a friend at the Temple who was with her Daddy and I was just wondering where mine was
Arella Roth-
He left a long time ago.
Young Rachel Roth-
Why?
Arella Roth-
Well
-Suddenly, in the darkness above, two rows of three yellow eyes form in the middle of the sky-
Trigon-
Let me answer that myself.
-Arella looks into the sky, as the wind howls violently-
Arella Roth-
Adam?
-At the Temple, Aunder and a group of mages rush to the park-
Aunder-
Trigon.
Arella Roth-
Trigon?
Aunder-
The demon god that has haunted us for over a hundred years.
Arella Roth-
Wha-
Aunder-
Your husband was Trigon in human form. I never had the heart to tell you.
Trigon-
ATTENTION AZARATH! YOUR DOOM HAS FINALLY ARRIVED! PREPARE FOR THE END!
-Aunder quickly turns to the mages-
Aunder-
BEGIN!
Mages & Aunder-
Azarath, Metrion, Zinthos.
-They continue to repeatedly chant this-
Arella Roth-
MAKE IT STOP!
-A red light shines from the sky. It directly shines on Arella. She begins to be lifted into the air. Aunder stops-
Aunder-
Oh god
-Aunder quickly grabs Rachel and rushes her out of the park, Rachel keeps looking back-
Young Rachel Roth-
MOMMY!
-Both Aunder and Rachel dissappear into the darkness. Arella is lifted toward Trigon-
Trigon-
Thank you, for my
second chance
-In a quick and violent flash, Arella implodes leaving only a red fog. The Mages continue to chant as Trigon begins to destory the city. Cut to Aunder quickly rushing Rachel on a boat. It begins to set sale. The noise of a school bell begins to ring. Cut to the lunch room, Rachel in a tight red sleeveless shirt and black pants sits down, drinking her milk and picking at her mashed potatoes. Alex sits down infront of her, in a leather jacket-
Rachel Roth-
Nice jacket.
Alex-
Father insisted I should wear it.
Rachel Roth-
I wasn’t implying that-
Alex-
No, it’s okay.
Rachel Roth-
Groovy.
Alex-
Groovy?
Rachel Roth-
Another keen.
Alex-
Oh
keen.
Rachel Roth-
So
what did you do last night?
Alex-
Nothing really. Watched my little sister.
Rachel Roth-
How old is she?
Alex-
7.
Rachel Roth-
Is she nice?
Alex-
She’s 7.
-Alex laughs althought Rachel just sits there and smiles-
Alex-
What about you?
Rachel Roth-
Oh
nothing really
Alex-
Oh. Did you hear about the fair?
Rachel Roth-
No.
Alex-
You know what a fair is?
Rachel Roth-
Not entirely.
Alex-
Ferris wheels, cotton candy, rides, smelly animals.
Rachel Roth-
Yeah.
Alex-
There is one tomorrow night. You want to go?
Rachel Roth-
Yes!
Alex-
Cool. Do you want me to pick you up?
Rachel Roth-
Yes.
Alex-
What time?
Rachel Roth-
What time does it start?
Alex-
Like 5.
Rachel Roth-
Sure.
Alex-
So, it’s a
Rachel Roth-
Date?
Alex-
I guess
Rachel Roth-
That’d be nice.
-Rachel gulps down her milk. The both stare at eachother. Cut to Rachel sitting in History class, the other students quickly jot down their notes. Rachel draws an orange tree-
Mr. C-
Now, with Obama as are president, our country-
-Rachel quickly grabs her side again and within a few seconds she knows it’s the same pain, she raises her arm-
Mr. C-
Rachel?
Rachel Roth-
Can I go to the nurse’s office?
Mr. C-
Fine. But hurry.
-Rachel quickly gets up and walks out. Cut to the Nurse’s office. She puts a thermometer into Rachel’s mouth as she sits down on a white bench-
Nurse-
So, you haven’t missed your period or anything?
-Rachel groans. After a few seconds the nurse grabs the thermometer and looks at it-
Nurse-
Seems like you are fairly healthy. Don’t really know what it could be. Suffered any injuries recently?
Rachel Roth-
No. None at all.
Nurse-
Hmm
-The nurse puts the thermometer up. Cut to Rachel in the Counselor’s office-
Josephine Miller-
I’m glad to see you again Rachel, what can I do you for?
Rachel Roth-
I’ve been having this sudden rush of emotions.
Josephine Miller-
What do you mean?
Rachel Roth-
Used to, I never really felt a lot
of anything. It’s come all in quite sudden, from love to hate
It’s hard to describe
Josephine Miller-
Is it the people around you?
Rachel Roth-
Yes.
Josephine Miller-
Are you in love?
Rachel Roth-
I believe so. But, as I said hard to say, these things have been happening.
Josephine Miller-
I don’t follow you
Rachel Roth-
I don’t know how to say it but
er
things are a lot different.
Josephine Miller-
Your social life?
Rachel Roth-
Yes. I used to never really have much of one, and it’s both wonderful and a burden.
-Rachel quickly analysis what she said-
Rachel Roth-
I’m sorry, I’ve been having a weird feeling all day.
Josephine Miller-
It’s okay Rachel, we all have our moments.
Rachel Roth-
But most of the time my “moments” where by myself, I think I’ve been under a lot of stress for some reason, least ways I feel like that.
Josephine Miller-
It’s hard going from being alone to having friends for some people and I understand that Rachel but it’s worth it. I just wish I could have had as many friends as you did when I was in High School.
Rachel Roth-
Where you the quiet one?
Josephine Miller-
A little.
Rachel Roth-
I would never of thought so.
Josephine Miller-
Thank you Rachel.
Rachel Roth-
Is the fair any fun?
Josephine Miller-
Haven’t been. Why?
Rachel Roth-
Was going there tonight.
Josephine Miller-
That’s great Rachel!
Rachel Roth-
Yeah
Josephine Miller-
Who are you going with?
Rachel Roth-
A guy.
Josephine Miller-
Wonderful! I’m so glad your making friends so well!
Rachel Roth-
How could you tell that?
Josephine Miller-
You just seem more relaxed and calm then when I first met you, and it takes talking to do, and friends are the perfect way to relax.
Rachel Roth-
Well, thank you.
Josephine Miller-
Glad to here from you.
Rachel Roth-
Alrighty.
-Rachel gets up and begins to walk out-
Josephine Miller-
Have a fun time at the fair!
Rachel Roth-
Will do so!
-Rachel leaves-
Josephine Miller-
Such a sweetie.
-Cut to Rachel, looking out the bus window past all the streets, leaves blow in the wind as children run down the side walks, with cheery faces. Rachel smiles. She sees Matt walking down a street and waves at him, he smiles and waves back. Cut to Matt, walking down a long alley full of dumpsters full of garbage bags. He begins to whistle as the wind picks up speed. He turns around quickly after he hears foot-steps-
Matt Close-
Anyone here?
-something growls-
Matt Close-
Doggie?
-The sun, which is beginning to fall becomes the only hint of light as street lights begin to go out all at once-
Matt Close-
Hey
-Something glows out of a nearby shadow-
Matt Close-
What the
-The eyes appear-
Trigon-
Bow and do my bidding.
Matt Close-
What the
?
-The shadow leaps forward and engrosses Matt, covering him entirely and finally fading away to reveal him-
Matt Close-
Hmmm
now to get what I want.
-Matt continues his walk with a sinister grin. Cut to Rachel, in her room, digging through a drawer, looking for a shirt as he sits in her white bra and dark jeans. She finds on that is black with a tiny white smiley face on the right sleeve, she quickly puts it on and then goes into the bathroom. Rachel grabs a orange tooth brush and puts peppermint tooth paste on it and begins to brush her teeth while looking at herself in the mirror. She quickly spits and begins to walk out but then turns around. Rachel takes a close look at herself in the mirror. After a bit of examining, she smiles. Cut to her, eat the dinner table eating a piece of bread while Kathy sits next to her eating a bowl of oatmeal-
Kathy-
You won’t be out too late?
Rachel Roth-
Probably not, should be home by 10.
Kathy-
Okay.
-Kathy looks at Rachel who has finished eating the toast-
Kathy-
You sure I can’t get you anything else?
Rachel Roth-
No, I’m fine.
Kathy-
I wouldn’t mind.
Rachel Roth-
I think we were going to get something at the Fair.
Kathy-
Oh, okay then. Is he nice?
Rachel Roth-
Yes.
Kathy-
When will I get to see him?
Rachel Roth-
Well, maybe when he drops me off
Kathy-
I’m probably be to bed by then.
Rachel Roth-
Well
sometime.
Kathy-
That’ll be nice.
-The sound of a car pulling in and honking is heard-
Rachel Roth-
That’s him.
Kathy-
Oh, well, you promise me to have a good time?
Rachel Roth-
I do.
Kathy-
Good.
-Kathy kisses Rachel on the cheek as she gets up and walks off-
Kathy-
Have a good time!
Rachel Roth- (Off Screen)
You too!
-Kathy smiles and takes another bite from her oatmeal. Cut to Rachel sitting beside Alex who is in the driver’s seat. Ralph and Jesse are in the back. The car is red and very slick looking-
Rachel Roth-
Nice car.
Alex-
Thanks. Oh, forgot to mention I was giving Ralph and Jesse a ride.
Rachel Roth-
Oh, hello.
Ralph-
Glad to her your doing better.
Jesse-
Me too.
Rachel Roth-
Thanks.
-Alex starts the car and they begin to drive-
Jesse-
So
Rachel?
Rachel Roth-
Yes.
Jesse-
Ever been to the fair?
Rachel Roth-
No.
Jesse-
You are going to have a blast. It’s soooo much fun.
Ralph-
It is.
Rachel Roth-
Keen.
-Rachel looks at Alex who smiles back. Cut to the fair. The grass is mostly flat, smashed that way by the hundreds of people attending of all ages, and the massive rides. Rides that shoot you up and quickly pull you down then up again to rides that swing you around in flash. Many different vendors offer many different foods and items. Pizza stands, bagel stands and pop corn stands. The lights are all colorful and the sun is gone. A huge Ferris Wheel in the colors of red and yellows is at the tale end and reigns over them all. Rachel, holding Alex’s hand walk down the different assortments of contests, jumping rope for big teddy bears among other things-
Rachel Roth-
It’s so colorful and lively.
Alex-
Oh yes. Well
what do you want to do first?
Rachel Roth-
I don’t know. I’m kinda over whelmed.
Alex-
Yeah
Rachel Roth-
How about that?
-Rachel points at a “Scare Ride”. A house of which carts come out, holding 1-2 people-
Rachel Roth-
That looks interesting.
Alex-
The Scare Ride?
Rachel Roth-
Yes.
Alex-
If you want
-Cut to Alex and Rachel being strapped into a cart. The rusty looking attendant just smiles at them as it begins to pull into the darkness-
Alex-
Scared?
Rachel Roth-
A little
Alex-
Don’t worry, I’m-
-Out of no where, a vampire looking creature flings from the ceiling and screams. Rachel jumps up as Alex holds onto her, a few seconds later they both laugh at eachother-
Rachel Roth-
Here? You where just as scared as I was.
Alex-
Sorry, I was just trying to impress you.
Rachel Roth-
It’s okay, you don’t-
-Giant, bug red eyes flash and a sinister laugh rooms through the place-
Rachel Roth-
-OH MY GOD!
-Alex laughs-
Rachel Roth-
I’m sorry it’s
Alex-
I understand, we all get scared at one point.
Rachel Roth-
Thanks.
-Cut to the cart pulling out of the house. Rachel and Alex quickly get off and head for another ride. Cut to them being strapped into a double swing set, hanging only 6 inches off the ground-
Rachel Roth-
So
it just goes up high and spins around?
Alex-
Pretty much.
Rachel Roth-
How high?
Alex-
You could see the entire fair, I’d say 50 feet or something.
Rachel Roth-
Exactly?
Alex-
I honestly don’t know, really high for sure.
Rachel Roth-
And if I throw-up?
Alex-
As long as it’s not me, I’m fine.
-Rachel giggles. The ride begins, they swings are lifted into the air, spinning faster as they go along till their high into the air, seeing above the entire fair-
Rachel Roth-
I THINK I’M GONNA BE SICK!
-Cut to both of them, getting off as Rachel rushes to the nearest trash can. She throws up for about 5 seconds. Alex pats her back-
Alex-
I’m so sorry!
Rachel Roth-
No
huh
. I’m alright, just need
need to sit down for a minutes.
Alex-
Okay.
-Cut to Rachel and Alex, sitting on a bench as she slowly drinks from a cup-
Alex-
You feeling better?
Rachel Roth-
Yes, A LOT better.
Alex-
That’s good.
Rachel Roth-
This is very tasty, what is it?
Alex-
It’s A&W Cream Soda.
Rachel Roth-
It’s perfect.
Alex-
A personal favorite of mine.
Rachel Roth-
I definitely can see why.
Alex-
Well then, what do you want to do now?
Rachel Roth-
How about we
um
I have no idea.
Alex-
We could
try and win something?
Rachel Roth-
Sure.
-Cut to Rachel and Alex, looking at a target, Alex holds a handful of darts, on the sides of the narrow walls are different colors of pandas-
Alex-
Just hit that dart across the room and I win a panda?
-The fat owner just nods silently-
Alex-
Okay
-Alex throws the first dart. It just barely misses the target. He throws the next, it hits far above it-
Rachel Roth-
You can do it!
-He throws his last dart and just barely misses it-
Alex-
I’m so sorry.
Rachel Roth-
Relax, it’s okay.
-Alex smiles-
-Cut to Rachel and Alex getting on The Ferris Wheel. They get into the small cart, it’s red padding go well with the yellow color the cart itself comes in. The door locks behind them as they both get in. The Ferris Wheel begins to go into motion, and they are slowly lifted up. There half way to the top-
Rachel Roth-
Wow
it’s gorgeous.
Alex-
I know.
Rachel Roth-
I’ve never seen anything like it.
Alex-
I have.
Rachel Roth-
What was it?
Alex-
You.
-Alex looks Rachel directly in the eyes-
Rachel Roth-
Thank y-
-Alex grabs Rachel’s chin and brings her forward-
Alex-
Rachel, I l-
-Rachel presses her lips against his and they being to kiss passionately. Alex puts his arms around her back, rubbing it. Rachel closes her eyes and grasps the back of his head, holding on to him, never wanting to let go. Rachel starts to lean back as Alex begins to lean onto her. The cart makes a loud shaking noise then Rachel and Alex quickly sit up straight-
Rachel Roth-
What was that?
Alex-
I don’t know, probably the cart moving.
Rachel Roth-
Oh, good
-The cart begins to move again, it stops at the very top of the Wheel-
Rachel Roth-
It only looks better the higher we go up.
Alex-
Yeah
-Rachel and Alex turn back to look at each other again. Rachel quickly grabs him and they continue to kiss. Rachel smacks her lips on Alex’s, becoming less neat and precise as they go on. Alex places his hand on Rachel’s thigh and squeezes it, he quickly leaps off-
Alex-
I’m so sorry, I didn’t
-Rachel grabs his arm and places it directly back on her thigh-
Rachel Roth-
It’s okay.
-Alex continues to grasp ahold of it, rubbing it. Rachel slowly leans her head back as Alex starts kissing on repeatedly and gently on the neck. Alex slips his left hand into Rachel’s pants, placing his fingers insider her panties until Rachel quickly grabs his hand and pulls it out-
Alex-
Im
I’m sorry.
Rachel Roth-
No no, it’s not you at all
it’s just where here.
Alex-
Oh, are you sure because if you don’t want to I fully understand
Rachel Roth-
It’s not that at all, I just prefer it not be here because well
it’s a Ferris Wheel!
-Alex laughs-
Rachel Roth-
I’m sorry
Alex-
Relax, it’s okay. I’d rather wait a bit anyways, I mean we’ve only known eachother for a few days and
Rachel Roth-
I love you.
Alex-
You
you do?
Rachel Roth-
Yes.
Alex-
Like
how
er, sorry, what I meant to say is
I don’t know.
Rachel Roth-
It’s alright.
Alex-
I love you too.
Rachel Roth-
I know.
-The door opens. Rachel and Alex get off and begin to walk back into the fair madness, holding hands. Cut to Alex, driving Rachel down the woods pathway to her home-
Alex-
I had a great time tonight.
Rachel Roth-
Yeah
me also.
Alex-
What are you doing tomorrow?
Rachel Roth-
I don’t know.
Alex-
Maybe I could pick you up from school and we could hang out?
Rachel Roth-
I’d love that.
Alex-
Well, here we-
-The house is on fire. Smoke rises like a black beast into the abyss of the night. Rachel leaps out of the car and looks at it in utter shock-
Rachel Roth-
OH MY GOD!
-She falls to her knees and crys. Alex quickly jumps out to hold her-
Alex-
Come on Rachel, we gotta go!
Rachel Roth-
NOOOOOO!
-The shadows that are from the trees reflecting the fire begin to twist in shapes as Alex nearly forces Rachel into the car. Cut to The Police Station. A white room with a plain table, three black chairs and a recorder on the table. Rachel sits in a chair while Detective Jason, sitting a blue suit and black shades hits the recorder button-
Detective Jason-
This is Detective Jason on the fire incident that occurred with the death of Kathy J. Lenner. With me is Rachel Roth, her foster daughter. Rachel, tell us what you saw.
Rachel Roth-
I was driven home by Alex
Detective Jason-
And who is Alex?
Rachel Roth-
My boyfriend.
Detective Jason-
Go on.
Rachel Roth-
And I saw the house
on fire
and I didn’t know what to think.
Detective Jason-
What did Alex do?
Rachel Roth-
He held me. Rushed me back to the cry and
and
Detective Jason-
And?
Rachel Roth-
He drove me here.
-Rachel just stops. She wipes new tears forming from her eyes-
Detective Jason-
How long did you know Kathy?
Rachel Roth-
Less then a week.
-Rachel cannot hold it anymore, she places her head on the table and covers her face with her hands-
Detective Jason-
We can do this some other time.
-Rachel lifts her head up and rids herself of the fresh tears-
Rachel Roth-
I
I just don’t have that much to tell.
Detective Jason-
Do you have somewhere to go for the night?
Rachel Roth-
Yeah.
Detective Jason-
And where is that?
Rachel Roth-
Alex’s. His parents are out of town tonight.
Detective Jason-
Alright then. Come back here around 4 tomorrow.
Rachel Roth-
Sure.
Detective Jason-
You have a good night and
I’m sorry for your loss.
Rachel Roth-
It wasn’t your fault but thanks anyways.
-Rachel gets up and walks out the door. Cut to Rachel in Alex’s room. His bed sheet is dark blue and the rest of his room is a very light tint of purple, there is only a shelf full of mostly school books and a drawer in the corner, besides that, the rest of the room is very plain. Rachel sits at the end of the bed as Alex rubs her back-
Rachel Roth-
I never really knew how important she was to me, I should have spent some more time with her, I mean, she took all this time, time for herself it should have been, to help me, someone she barely knew. She was willing to dedicate years just for me, just some person who got lost
Alex-
I
Rachel Roth-
I should have appreciated for what she was, for what she wanted to do but I was too caught up in just being a jerk to realize
Alex-
You’re just a quiet person
Rachel Roth-
I never did really tell her what she meant to me and I don’t know if I ever would have, I
I’m just a asshole.
Alex-
No your not, most people don’t realize what they have until it’s gone Rachel, it’s not you at all!
Rachel Roth-
Are
are you sure?
Alex-
Yes, trust me.
Rachel Roth-
Alex, I want you to love me.
Alex-
I do.
Rachel Roth-
I want to appreciate you now.
Alex-
Okay.
-Rachel grabs Alex and starts kissing him, after a bit they are both laying down on the bed. Rachel sits up and removes her shirt to reveal a black bra-
Alex-
Are you sure you wanna?
Rachel Roth-
Just
love me.
-Rachel continues to kiss him as she pulls down his pants. Alex slowly removes his boxers as Rachel unsnaps her bra to free her perky breasts. She then pulls down her panties as Alex takes his shirt off-
Alex-
You’re the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.
-Alex lays down on the bed as Rachel gets on top of him. She slowly presses her body down and after a few seconds stops-
Rachel Roth-
It’s in.
-Rachel leans toward him-
Rachel Roth-
Thank you.
-Rachel presses her body against his and begins to lift up and down. Rachel softly moans as Alex holds her by her thighs. Sweat begins to drip off Rachel’s face as she tries to keep going. Alex tightens his face-
Alex-
I’m-
Rachel Roth-
Shhh
-Behind her, a painting on wall which seems like a blot test begins to shake with a purple mist surrounding-
Rachel Roth-
Oh god
-Rachel leans her head back and bites her lips. Alex lifts his chest up then Rachel nearly falls onto him, he pets her head as their sweat begins to dry-
Rachel Roth-
I’ll always love you.
-Rachel’s eyes tear up-
Alex-
Me
me too.
-Alex does so also. They look at eachother in the eyes and cry has Alex places a blanket over them. Cut to Rachel walking in the hallway, she holds onto her books and doesn’t dare look at anything besides the floor. The red headed bully comes up to her-
Bully-
Hey freakazoid, how are the rest of the corpses doing?
Rachel Roth-
Please go.
Bully-
Come on! The Land of the Dead doing alright?
Rachel Roth-
Just get out of my way please.
Bully-
Come on, you don’t have anything important to do, do you?
Rachel Roth-
I said!
-Rachel puts his hand on his chest, purple fog seeps from her finger tips and he is blasted toward the ground hard. Rachel drops her book and stands in shock. He lays on the ground for a few seconds-
Bully-
WHAT THE HELL!
Rachel Roth-
I
I
-He springs up and punches her in the face, a group of students walking by stop and soon a large group forms and chants the words “Fight”. Rachel checks her lip to see fresh blood-
Bully-
You fucking whore!
-He points his finger right out her face, Rachel’s eyes suddenly go pure white, and his finger is covered in a black covering with purple out lining, it snaps back then forward three times in a row, he himself falls back on the ground again. The other students just gasp and stand in silent among a few “Wow” and “How did she do that?”-
Rachel Roth-
Oh god
Bully-
Awwww FUCK!
-Rachel pushes her way through the other students and runs down the halls, pushes the front door of the school open and begins to run. Cut to the Park. The grass is almost gray in color and it’s hard to see the light green tint. Rachel sits on a white bench, the park is nearly empty and there are only a few trees. Rachel re-thinks of what happened and crys-
Rachel Roth-
I can’t control it
I hate it
I hate it so much
Alex-
What do you hate so much?
-Alex sits beside her-
Rachel Roth-
It’s hard to tell you
Alex-
I’m willing to listen.
Rachel Roth-
It’s these things that happen. I don’t know how to say it.
Alex-
You could
show me.
Rachel Roth-
That’s the problem. I don’t. I never wanted this.
Alex-
Rachel please, tell me.
Rachel Roth-
I don’t know what it is, it’s like
this is hard to say without making it sound cheesy, but
“powers”.
Alex-
Like, flying and stuff?
Rachel Roth-
Sorta. It’s this shadow like thing, it affects things when I get these feelings like anger, hate and
Alex-
love?
Rachel Roth-
You noticed?
Alex-
Yeah.
Rachel Roth-
I’ve never told anyone that but I accidentally showed someone it.
Alex-
Who?
Rachel Roth-
Some bully.
Alex-
What happened?
Rachel Roth-
I broke his finger without touching him.
Alex-
I’m sorry.
Rachel Roth-
The worst part is I didn’t even mean to do it. I can’t control it.
Alex-
I’m sure you can learn and I
I can help.
Rachel Roth-
Thank you, thank you so much. I could never know a better person then you.
Alex-
Thank you.
-Rachel grabs Alex and kisses him, holding him as close as he can get-
Matt Close-
It’s about time I see your face.
-They stop-
Rachel Roth-
Matt?
Matt Close-
Good guess.
Alex-
What do you want?
Matt Close-
I only want what I created.
Rachel Roth-
Are you okay?
Matt Close-
Never better.
-In a quick red flash, something bursts out of Matt’s chest: a red flash then all over his body holes from which shoot out red light until he is completed destroyed-
Rachel Roth-
OH MY GOD!
-The sky turns red. The clouds turn black and Trigon settles his large red feet onto the ground. Muscles on muscles, long white hair wearing a black loincloth with those awful yellow eyes and a deep booming voice, he stands at 20 feet high-
Trigon-
My Daughter.
Rachel Roth-
What the
Trigon-
Rachel, Your mother Arella and I conceived you nearly 18 years. But she didn’t know that I wasn’t really a blonde haired Adam and for that she paid her life.
Rachel Roth-
No
Trigon-
You are the only thing that can defeat me and for that reason alone I’m going to kill you. If you were not, I would let you live but it’s unfortunate it has to be this way.
Rachel Roth-
Wha
-Rachel stands in utter denial at first-
Rachel Roth-
NO!
-Rachel screams this as the trees begin to be pulled from the ground, they all point toward Trigon and in a second they all shoot towards him, clobbering him in the face-
Rachel Roth-
No, no, no
-Rachel turns to Alex-
Rachel Roth-
I’m so sorry.
Alex-
I-
-Trigon points his finger at Alex who instantly explodes into a batch of red fog-
Rachel Roth-
Ahh, AHH!
-Rachel falls to the ground, screaming, whimpering and crying-
Rachel Roth-
NOOOO! NO! NO! NO! NO!
-She holds herself and yells at the sky-
Trigon-
Your heart shall forever be consumed by my hatred
least ways till I finish you off which won’t be long.
-The park’s Earth begins to become charred. Rachel looks up at Trigon, lowering her head-
Rachel Roth-
You’re a bastard. Nothing more.
Trigon-
I have no feelings toward you or what you say. I need you dead and I need your power.
Rachel Roth-
Oh
-Rachel puts her hands together and points it at him-
Rachel Roth-
You can have it, you can have all of it!
-A blast of darkness surrounded by a purple mist shoots out and hits him directly on the chest, he steps back for second-
Rachel Roth-
TAKE IT ALL!
-Rachel repeatedly continues to blast him, the more she blasts she continues to get higher into the air-
Trigon-
Your a lot
ah
. Stronger then I thought.
-Rachel begins to lift chunks of earth from the ground and raining it on him-
Rachel Roth-
Here’s some MORE AND MORE!
-The rocks smash onto Trigon, Rachel’s tears begin to become blood. After a few minutes of ripping bits of the park and tossing it at him by just thinking about it, Rachel lifts back onto the ground, breathing deeply-
Rachel Roth-
There
I
I did
. Did it.
-Trigon, at once on his knees, lifts back up at looks down at her-
Trigon-
You impressed my for such a young girl
but
you could have a lot better-
-Trigon points at the bench, if lifts up and begins to smack Rachel around until it becomes loose and breaks into bits. Rachel is covered in bruises, her noose dripping blood and cuts on her arms-
Trigon-
And that when I barely gave any effort.
-Rachel, after much effort stands back up. She spits up some blood-
Rachel Roth-
I’m not finished.
-She points her finger at Trigon, and shoots a thin purple beam straight into his eyes. He tries to cover them but his hands keep getting burnt, he quickly removes them from his face-
Trigon-
AHHHHH!
Rachel Roth-
DIE! DIE! DIE!
-After a few seconds, Rachel begins to hurl purple flashes at him, breaking his teeth and cutting his chest. White blood begins to drip from his chest-
Rachel Roth-
WHY WONT YOU DIE ALREADY!
-After a few more minutes, Trigon falls onto his knees. Rachel points at a sharp gray statue and lifts it-
Rachel Roth-
This should kill you
-It quickly jams into his chest-
Trigon-
AHHHH!
-Trigon quickly gets back onto his, rips the statue from his chest and throws it at Rachel who waves her hands at it which causes a purple explosion. Trigon stands back, panting as Rachel does the same-
Trigon-
You’re a quick learner.
Rachel Roth-
Are
are you really my Father?
Trigon-
Yes.
Rachel Roth-
Then I should like you
right?
Trigon-
I don’t know. I don’t care.
Rachel Roth-
Most Daughters generally like their Father. I feel like I should like you, but there is only one thing I want to do.
Trigon-
And that is?
Rachel Roth-
Kill you.
Trigon-
Well then, let’s see if you can do it.
-Rachel presses her hands together, forming a massive white energy ball outlined by purple. Trigon only slightly grins-
Trigon-
I’m sorry.
-She lets it go, it charges in full speed toward him, the second it hits him, he disappears into nothing. Rachel falls to the ground-
Rachel Roth-
I did it
I killed him Alex.
-Rachel begins to cry, as a shadow from a twisted piece of metal begins to cover her until there is nothing but darkness-
Rachel Roth-
I should have saved you.
-Cut to a dark ally way “Months Later”. The moon lights up the city. Something walks down any ally way, with trash on the sides of it. A skinny young man runs through it rather quickly, but he runs back when he sees a dumpster. He looks back at the direction he came and then quickly jumps into the dumpster and closes it. The shadows begin to move as someone in a purple hood and robe walks into frame-
Rachel Roth-
You’re here
I know.
-The shadows begin to cover the entire ally way, leaving it all dark. The sound of a dumpster begin forced open and someone being dragged out and screaming can softly be heard. He begins to scream and after a few minutes, the shadows disappear and we see him hanging from a near roof top, upside down by a black ghastly rope which has purple lining which is constantly moving around. Rachel stands on a roof top far away watching as a pair of cops look up and see him. Rachel just sighs-
Robin-
Rachel Roth.
-Rachel quickly turns around to see Robin. Wavy black hair, wearing a red padded shirt with yellow sleeves. Green tights and a golden belt that contains a number of different compartments. A domino mask that is laced with a two way mirror so no one can see his eyes. Very fit and young looking. Green gloves and black boots along with a black cape that has a yellow inside-
Rachel Roth-
Who are you and what do you want?
Robin-
My name is Robin. I’m a hero
just like you.
Rachel Roth-
I’m not a hero, if I didn’t think about Alex I would have killed that man. If I didn’t think of Alex’s gentleness I would have murdered him.
Robin-
Why?
Rachel Roth-
Because I’ve suffered and I’ve been feeling the most passionate hate anyone will ever feel and I only do this to hurt people.
Robin-
But it’s only bad people.
Rachel Roth-
Because it would only feel right that way. Morally. But it never feels right.
Robin-
I can help you Rachel.
Rachel Roth-
How do you know who am I?
Robin-
I have my ways.
Rachel Roth-
You never told me want you wanted.
Robin-
I’m forming a team of people, of people who have talent and need to be guided the right way to use it.
Rachel Roth-
Talent? You call what I have talent?
Robin-
Yes. It can be used for the greater good.
Rachel Roth-
No
no it can’t. It can only be used to harm things. That’s all it’s for.
Robin-
No it isn’t. Rachel you have to be given a new view on the world. I can help you.
Rachel Roth-
How?
Robin-
I know what it’s like to feel pain. My parents where killed in front of my eyes.
Rachel Roth-
Oh
I’m so sorry.
Robin-
No, it’s okay. I learned how to control my pain because of someone who offered to help. And you can too.
Rachel Roth-
I’d like that. I’d like that a lot.
Robin-
Join the Teen Titans.
Rachel Roth-
The what?
-Fade to black. Fin- |
