ACT I

EXT - GRAVE YARD - NIGHT

Steven, Minxie, Casey, Marty and Stacie are standing in a circle holding candles.

STACIE: (annoyed) Guys it didn’t work, the portal isn’t opening up here.

MARTY: I hate to admit this, but I think your right.

CASEY: The spell didn’t work.

STACIE: Yeah, that sucks. Okay can we go now?

MINXIE: When that portal opens we have to be there to get that book of Camarin from the
Calarkin demons!

STACIE: Minxie, don’t you think we know that. We can’t just search every inch and crevasse of East Wick. (Beat) Marty thought he felt energy surrounding this place and he was wrong. For all we know the Calarkin demons haven’t even left Htob.

They all begin to blow out their candles.

MINXIE: I’m just trying to help you guys out.

STACIE: I’m sorry new girl you aren’t helping.

Minxie throws her a dirty look but doesn’t muster up confidence to say anything back.

CASEY: (sympathetic) Minxie, I hate to admit this but Stacie has a good point.

Minxie sighs and rolls her eyes.

MINXIE: (angered) I don’t care anymore!

Minxie approaches the others and snatches the candles from each their hands and shoving them angrily into a brown backpack.

STACIE: Well I’m hungry. Well… Marty and I are getting some pizza at Johnny’s, you guys wanna go?

CASEY: No, Steven and me kinda have a job to do.

Casey gestures to the graveyard behind her. Steven looks disappointed.

STEVEN: That sucks.

Stacie turns to Minxie.

STACIE: (fake smile) You wanna go?

MINXIE: (curt) No.

STACIE: Okay then. Bye.

Stacie grabs Marty by his arm and drags him off.

MARTY: (to others) See ya’ guys.

STEVEN: This job sucks.

CASEY: Rule number one, sacrifices.

Casey turns to Minxie.

CASEY: Are you okay?

MINXIE: (curt) I’m fine.

CASEY: Are you sure?

STEVEN: No. I know what she‘s thinking. (Pause) Stacie is a bitch.

Minxie snickers.

CASEY: (appalled) Steven!

STEVEN: (defensive) She is.

Suddenly in the distance they hear scuffling and fighting.

STEVEN: What is that?

CASEY: Someone or something is fighting.

STEVEN: (unsure) Lets go?

CASEY: Yup.

Casey breaks out into a sprint across the graveyard as Steven and Minxie run close behind her. They approach two young men fighting off two vampires and one bringer.

STEVEN: (to self) Can’t believe I’m gonna do this!

Steven uses a headstone as a boost and jumps through the air, kicking Vampire#1 in the chest. Vampire #1 stumbles away from Young Man#1. Vampire#2 charges at Steven from behind. Casey runs up and turns Vampire#2 around before he reaches Steven.

CASEY: Hello.

She punches him across the face.

CASEY: (to Steven) Headstone thing. Nice move.

She goes back to fighting.

The two young men both take on the one Bringer. Young Man #1 kicks the bringer across the face then Young Man#2 runs up behind the bringer, taking the Bringer’s knife.

YOUNG MAN#2: Peace out.

Young Man#2 slit’s the bringer’s throat.

Cut to: Minxie turns and runs over to her friend’s aid. Vampire#1 leaps to his feet and starts to circle Steven. Steven doesn’t take his eyes off of the creature.

VAMPIRE#1: You must be a Demon Slayer.

STEVEN: Ding, ding, ding!

Steven kicks and misses.

VAMPIRE#1: (laughing) You tickle me.

Steven throws a punch, the vampire ducks.

VAMPIRE#1: (laughing) Wow, you suck!

The vampire looks over to Casey who is whaling on Vampire#2.

VAMPIRE#1: Now, she’s kicking ass.

Cut to: Casey kicking Vampire#2 in the face. She pulls a stake from her black leather jacket and plunges the stake into the vampire’s chest, dust.
Cut back to Steven and Vampire#1.

VAMPIRE#1: See.

Out of nowhere Minxie jumps on Vampire#1’s back and repeatedly hits the creature over the head with her stake.

MINXIE: How do you like that!

Steven stands back with a confused look.

STEVEN: What are you doing?

MINXIE: Helping you!

Vampire#1 grabs Minxie by her jacket and violently flips her over his shoulder. She hits the ground with a thump. Minxie stagers to her feet and pulls her arm up ready to stake. Vampire#1 punches her across the face. She falls to the grown.

STEVEN: Hey!

Steven grabs the Vampire#1 by his shoulder and spins him around. Vampire#1 turns with a punch but Steven blocks it with his for arm and stakes him. The vampire explodes into dust.

STEVEN: (excited) Yes!

Casey approaches with a smile,

CASEY: You still get excited with a slay?

STEVEN: Yeah, it feels so exhilarating. I get the flutters in my stomach.

CASEY: I guess that’s good.

MINXIE O/S: A little help.

Casey and Steven look to the ground to see Minxie trying to get to her feet.

STEVEN: Oh!

Steven helps her up. Minxie lifts her head and there is a cut on her bottom lip

STEVEN: Are you okay?

MINXIE: (in pain) I’ll live.

The two Young Man approach the others. Their faces look battered and bruised.

CASEY: Who are you guys?

YOUNG MAN: We’re Demon Slayers.

Steven’s eyes open with surprise.

CUT TO:

INT - STEVEN’S HOUSE/ LIVING ROOM - NIGHT

The two Young Men are sitting on the couch as Casey is standing over them cleaning the cuts on their faces. She is wearing fitted blue jeans, black tank - top and black and white converse. Casey presses a band-aid onto Young Man#1’s forehead.

YOUGN MAN#1: Ouch!

CASEY: Sorry, Kyle.

KYLE: Its fine.

She moves over to Young Man #2 and places a band-aid under his left eye.

CASEY: Okay Dink, all better.
Casey stands to her feet.

DINK: Thanks.

She backs up from the couch as Steven and Minxie enters the room. Minxie is wearing low - cut, fitted blue jeans and a pink fitted top with a gray jacket pulled over it. Steven is wearing a black zip-up sweatshirt and blue jeans.

CASEY: Did you talk to Fredeth?

STEVEN: Yeah, him and Noah are on their way.

CASEY: Good.

MINXIE: I can call Marty and Stacie.

CASEY: That’s a good idea, thanks.

MINXIE: No prob.

Minxie exit’s the room as she pulls her cell phone from her jacket pocket.

Casey then turns to Kyle and Dink.

CASEY: The 411 on you guys?

KYLE: A couple of weeks ago I was leaving work and I was attached by some bringers. Then a guy named James Clark, who I found out later he was my watcher, saved me. He filled me in on the whole destiny thing and that’s when I met him. Kyle gestures to Dink.

DINK: Yeah, James was my watcher too. He told us if anything happen we should head to England to the Watcher’s Council. But when a seer contacted us and told us that we should head to East Wick, we did.

STEVEN: (confused) Why would it be bad to go to the watcher’s council? That would be the safest place to go.

Casey nods

DINK: I don’t know, she told us don’t go so we didn’t. I figured it’s better to be safe then sorry.
Minxie walks back in as she slips her cell phone back into her jacket pocket.

MINXIE: Marty and Stacie are on their way.

STEVEN: Okay.

CASEY: (continuing) Also, why would the bringers still be after demon slayers. You guys aren’t potentials anymore.

KYLE: That’s what we were thinking, are watcher actually said something before a bringer killed him.

CASEY: What?

KYLE: (sighs) He said something about the Demon Slayer line being tainted and something was wrong with it.

Minxie walks in closer.

MINXIE: (intrigued) What do you mean?

KYLE: He also said things haven’t been feeling right. Like off balanced.

MINXIE: It makes since. Like when Willow did the wakening spell to awaken the Demon Slayer‘s line, she fell into a coma. She told me the first time she did that back in Sunnydale her hair was white and she felt amazing. That didn’t look amazing with the veins and the black eyes.

STEVEN: So… if the Demon Slayer line is tainted, what do we do?

MINXIE: First, we wait for Fredeth to get here. Then we figure out what’s wrong with the Demon Slayer line. (Sighs) By doing that we have to go back to Rome where Willow found the sickle. But I can’t be sure; we’d have to talk to Fredeth.

KYLE: Sickle?

MINXIE: The traditional Demon Slayer weapon as Willow called. It’s what got you guys your powers.

STEVEN: How in the hell do we go about doing that? We can’t just get a ticket to Rome and fly there.

MINXIE: Not if you work for the council. I‘ll give them a call. (turns to Steven) Do you know where the sickle would be?

STEVEN: (shrugs) Don’t know, Fredeth has it. He hid it from me. Doesn’t think I can handle it.

MINXIE: Ok… we’ll just ask him when he gets here.

CASEY: I just thought of something…. Do you think that the book of Camarin has anything to do with the Demon Slayer line being tainted?

MINXIE: Yeah, I think it has a lot to do with it. That’s why The First is so damn eager to get his non - existing hands on it.

Minxie face lightens up.

MINXIE: I have an idea. (turns to Steven) Can I see your car keys.

Steven face grows confused as he digs in his pocket and throws her the keys.

MINXIE: (smile) Thanks, Ill be back.

She turns and heads for the door.

STEVEN: (yells) Be careful I just got it fixed.

Minxie doesn’t turns around and she exit’s the front door as Rebecca enters with a tray of coffees in hands. Steven face lightens with happiness as she enters the living room.

STEVEN: (smile) Rebecca!

Rebecca looks around the room.

REBECCA: Am I interrupting something?

STEVEN: No. Not really. Slayer stuff.

REBECCA: Oh, do you want me to leave?

STEVEN: (snaps) No!

REBECCA: Okay… Well I brought coffee for everyone.
CASEY: Coffee, you brought coffee!?

Rebecca nods.

CASEY: (excited) I love her!

Casey approaches Rebecca and shakes her hand.

CASEY: Hi Rebecca. I’m Casey I’ve heard a lot about you.

REBECCA: Hi Casey, coffee?

CASEY: (eager) Yes!

Casey picks up one of the coffees from the tray and quickly begins to drink it as she walks back over to the couch.

REBECCA: I was driving home and saw that you guys were in here. I figured there was a meeting going on so I thought coffee.

Kyle and Dink stand to their feet and each grab a coffee then head back to their seats.

Steven walks over to her and grabs a coffee.

STEVEN: Thanks.

He leans in and gives her a soft kiss on the lips. They break apart with smiles. We see Kyle, Dink and Casey staring at them in the background with smiles.

DINK: (whisper; to Casey) They must like each other? I meant really like each other.

CASEY: (grin; whisper) Yeah, they do.

KYLE: (joking; referring to Steven) What a dork.

The three of them burst out in laughter. Steven and Rebecca look over at them in confusion.

CUT TO:

INT - STEVEN HOUSE/ LIVING ROOM - NIGHT

Steven, Casey, Marty, Noah, Rebecca, and Stacie are scattered round the room as Fredeth is standing in the middle of the floor talking.

FREDETH: I know everyone is asking the question “Why The First would want Demon Slayers in its possession?” I do believe the theory of the Demon Slayer line is tainted in some way. First, we have to get the book of Camarin. What ever it’s for, it’s to help The First progress in its wishes. So we have to take that away from it. By doing that. (turns to Marty) I want you to do another Tellalina spell to see if there are anymore riffs in the dimensions around here.

MARTY: Okay.

Fredeth turns to Steven, Kyle and Dink.
FREDETH: Since The First wants you guys as it’s constellation price. We’re going to use you guys as bate.

DINK: What!?

FREDETH: Listen. We’re going to go patrolling and I’m sure agents of The First will show up, hopefully a vampire. We get the vampire make it talk and get our answers.

Fredeth then turns to Rebecca.

FREDETH: And you are?

REBECCA: Steven’s friend.

FREDETH: Oh, Rebecca.

REBECCA: I’ve heard a lot about you and your ability.

Rebecca turns to Steven with a stern look.

REBECCA: (curt) Really?

Steven nervously stares ahead not making eye contact with Rebecca.

FREDETH: Are you in with us?

REBECCA: Yes.

FREDETH: Okay. I‘m going to be straight with you it will be tough and you could die.

REBECCA: (unsure) Really?

STEVEN: Fredeth!

FREDETH: It’s true. (to Rebecca) So are you in or not?

REBECCA: I’m in.

FREDETH: (turn to Casey) You go with Marty and Stacie.

CASEY: Okay.

NOAH: And me?

FREDETH: We need as much man power, so you with us.

NOAH: Okay.

FREDETH: (Steven) Where’s Minxie?

STEVEN: She had a lead on the book of Camarin.

FREDETH: Ok… I guess. Lets go and everyone grab a weapon from my van.

Everyone exit’s the house.

EXT- WELL MAGIC/ ESTABLISHING - NIGHT

We see Steven’s red Mustang GT pull in front of the shop. Minxie then climbs out and enters Well Magic

CUT TO:

INT - WELL MAGIC - NIGHT

She heads over to the front counter. The lady behind the counter turns from the shelf.

LADY: (smile) Welcome to Well Magic.

MIXNIE: Hi, I’m looking for something.

LADY: And what would that be?

MINXIE: I need a Hogelen Sphere.

LADY: Ahhh… You need a Hogelen Sphere?

MIXNIE: Yes, do you have any?

LADY: You’re lucky we have one left. They’re very rare and we only have them in stock once a year. Actually a blonde girl came in earlier today and bought three of them. She wanted all of them but I thought I sold them all. (Pause) But it was one left I didn’t see.

The lady bends down behind the counter and pulls out a black class sphere.

LADY: Here you go.

The Lady places the sphere in a box of bubble rap and slides it into a plastic bag.

LADY: That will be twenty-two dollars, please.

Minxie pays her as The Lady hands her the bag.

LADY: Here you go.

MINXIE: Thanks.

Minxie turns and proceeds out the door.

WOMAN’S VOICE O/S: Opening a portal, huh?

Minxie stops and turns around to face Alicia.

MINXIE: Do I know you?

Alicia swings her arm up swiftly, backhanding Minxie to the face. Minxie flies back, twirling through the store and smashes through the front window, landing and tumbling onto the pavement outside.

ALICIA: I believe this is mine.

She stands to her feet and looks down at Minxie with a smile. Alicia is wearing skin-tight black jeans, black fitted belly shirt, under a black jean jacket. Her hair is pulled back into a perfect ponytail.

ALICIA: Sorry, did that hurt?

Camera cuts to Minxie unconscious body then cuts back to Alicia.

Marty grabs Casey's hand and pulls her to her feet as they run after the energy ball. Stacie stays behind with Minxie. She digs into Minxie's jacket pocket and pulls out keys. Stacie turns to see Steven's car parked on the street.

Stacie: (sighs of relief) Thank god, thought I was going to have to carry your ass.

EXT - GRAVE YARD - NIGHT

Steven, Fredeth, Rebecca, Noah, Dink, and Kyle are strolling side by side.

FREDETH: (to Dink and Kyle) Have you guys had any training?

DINK: James taught us the basics and that's about it. It was so crazy and hectic we were always on the run. So he didn't have the time.

KYLE: That's why those vampires and that bringer earlier kicked our ass.

REBECCA: This whole atmosphere is very strange. Never walked around in a dark, gloomy cemetery at night looking for trouble before.

STEVEN: Welcome to my life. You like?

Steven shrugs.

STEVEN: I guess it comes natural.

Noah steps up in-between Steven and Fredeth

NOAH: Or maybe you're a freak.

A stream of blue, green energy escapes from his hand. It hits Calarkin#1 in the back sending him flying across the park and landing on a bench, smashing it into pieces. The book slips from his hand and rolls into the bushes.

ACT III

EXT - EAST WICK WOODS - NIGHT

Camera is above the woods; we can see two bringers dragging a long Dink's unconscious body by his legs.

Camera moves in closer.

Dink's eyes shoot open, all he sees are trees and a star lit sky. He lifts his head realize two bringers are pulling him.

DINK: NO!

Dink snatches his legs free from the Bringer's grasp. He extends his legs, kicking them sending them flying backwards. He rolls over to his stomach then hops to his feet. He takes off running in opposite direction. One of the bringers jumps to his feet and pulls a knife out from his robe.

DINK: (yelling) Help, Kyle where are you!

The bringer whips the knife, it rips through the wind until it finally imbeds itself into the back of Dink's skull. He goes stiffs and stops. The camera rotates around to Dink's face. His face is in mere shock; the veins in his eyes suddenly rupture. A bloody tear rolls down his cheek as he drops to the forest floor with a thump. The camera pans back as the bringers approach Dink's body and begin to pull him once more. They drag him a few feet further as they reach a pentagram that is made out of white sand. The bringers gently lye him onto the pentagram then they go to their knees out side the pentagram's circle. Seconds later the ground opens beneath Dink and he falls into the darkness. The soil closes as the bringers stand and walk away.

Stacie nods.

MINXIE: So, I bought it and when I turned around to leave?. she punched me. I assume she took the sphere.

MARTY: (defensive) Man, back off my dad!

Fredeth moves Marty out of the way.

FREDETH: I can handle my own, Martel.

Fredeth steps close to Kyle, face to face.

FREDETH: Kyle, I'm so sorry that Dink was taken. The plan didn't go the way we wanted that's what happens with plans. Some work, some fall. We're just going to have to deal with it. Fight back just as hard as they fight.

KYLE: I'm getting Dink back.

The room grows silent as Kyle turns to walk away. Kyle turns and back around throwing a punch at Fredeth. Fredeth catches Kyle's fist as everyone watches in shock. Noah and Marty look like they're ready to jump on Kyle.

FREDETH: Don't test me.

Fredeth backhands Kyle across the face. Kyle stumbles back he glares at Fredeth with fury in his eyes.

KYLE: (yelling) He was like a brother to me. The only person who gave a damn!

FREDETH: We can get him back!

KYLE: Bull, every Demon Slayer that's been taken by those no eyed freaks, dies! (Pause) And you know that, so don't sugarcoat!

FREDETH: I'm not trying to sugarcoat anything! I'm trying to be opened minded!

KYLE: I don't want to hear it!

Kyle storms out of the apartment.

STEVEN: I'll go talk to him.

REBECCA: Be careful.

NOAH: (sarcastic) Awe, isn't that cute the two freaks are gonna go talk and probably kill us all in our sleep.

CASEY: Noah shut up! This is not the time.

Steven ignores Noah's comment and follows behind Kyle.

Marty steps up to Fredeth.

MARTY: Dad, you okay?

FREDETH: (clears throat) Fine. What did you and Casey come up with?

MARTY: The book of Camarin.

FREDETH: You did?

Marty moves and reveals the book of Camarin on the dining room table..

MARTY: Thanks to Casey and I.

FREDETH: Good. Did you two kill the Calarkin's?

MARTY: Yup.

FREDETH: Great. (turns to Minxie; concerned) What happened to you?

MINXIE: (sighs) A agent and a bitch of The First met up with me at Well Magic. (Pause) And punched me through a window.

FREDETH: (stressful sigh; to Minxie) Are you okay.

MINXIE: A little banged up but I'll live.

NOAH: Okay, so what are we going to do now? We have a lot of info in our hands and we need to do something about it. We can't just sit around on our asses and stare at each other.

FREDETH: Noah's right. (Pause) Okay?. so this is the plan. Stacie and myself will look through the book of Camarin and get all the information we can. Steven and Kyle will stay here, it's too much of a risk to have them out. Casey and Noah go patrolling and see if you can get anything on The First or whoever is working for it.

Noah looks over at Casey with a arrogant smile.

CASEY: (rolls eyes) Oh my god.

FREDETH: Minxie and Marty will stay here and look up information about the blonde one who punched (turns to Minxie) you through the window.

Rebecca, who is standing in the corner, raises her hand with a coy smile across her face.

REBECCA: What about me?

FREDETH: Oh! You really want to help out?

REBECCA: Yeah, I think it's cool fighting for the greater good. And I have a nifty ability to help you guys out.

Fredeth shakes his head in agreement.

REBECCA: Also I know a lot of about different species or demons. (Smile) I think I'll be a great asset.

Fredeth looks around the room sarcastically.

FREDETH: Okay, you're in.

NOAH: At least she's hot. I can have something to look at when I'm bored with Casey.

Casey throws Noah a dirty look and Rebecca rolls her eyes in disgust.

CASEY: (to Noah) Pig.

REBECCA: (to Noah) Ass.

CASEY: I'm out!

Casey storms out pushing past Noah.

NOAH: Casey, wait!

Noah goes after her.

FREDETH: So let's get to work! Rebecca you can work with Stacie and me.

Rebecca nods her head as she heads into the dining room. Stacie follows behind her and Minxie and Marty heads back into Fredeth's office.

Kyle is pacing back and forth as a cigarette hangs from his fingers. Steven walks over to him.

STEVEN: Are you okay?

Kyle doesn't answer.

STEVEN: The silent treatment?

Kyle takes a puff of his cigarette.

STEVEN: Kyle, I know what your going through you can talk to me.

Kyle throws the cigarette to the ground in anger.

KYLE: (angered) I'm just pissed off at everything! I didn't choose this life, my life was fine before this. I had a job, a girlfriend and a great apartment. (Throws arms up in the air) Now I have nothing. My best friend is dead so is my watcher!

STEVEN: I know this sucks and it's hard but I learned you have to suck it up and deal. (Pause) I did. I was saying that exact same thing when I found out I was a Demon Slayer. In this line of duty there will be death, despair, and mayhem. We can't help it, we just have to fight back. Now you know and I know that Dink is dead and he's not coming back. Take that anger and hate and use it to the advantage because this big battle that's coming. It doesn't care who we lost or what we lost. It cares about one thing. (Walks closer to Kyle) And that's our death. So are you going to fight?

KYLE: (holding back tears) I'm so tired of fighting I just want it all to end.

STEVEN: (understanding) Kyle, I know but you can't give up. You have to fight.

Kyle's features quickly turn into anger.

KYLE: I'm going to kill them.

STEVEN: Huh?

KYLE: I'm going to find those bringers and kill them.

Kyle begins to walk away quickly heading down the street.

CASEY: (curt) Nothing!

Noah stops Casey and turns her around facing him.

NOAH: What is it?

CASEY: You, you make me mad.

NOAH: How?

CASEY: (angered) How? The little comments you make. I ?m just gonna be straight forward with you. I thought you liked me and for a moment I liked you.

NOAH: Wait? a minute. Casey, I do like you.

CASEY: Then why are you so mean!? If you like me so much why do you act like this towards me? Why do you act like this towards everyone?

NOAH: Like what?

CASEY: (baffled) You really don't see it? (Chuckles) Your own crap blinds you!

A flirtatious smile grows across his face.

NOAH: So you like me?

CASEY: I did.

NOAH: If you liked me you could've did this.

Noah leans towards Casey for a kiss. Casey doesn't refuse she leans in also. Noah gently grabs her face and they kiss. Casey quickly pulls away and pushes Noah back.

NOAH: What!? (Arrogant) It wasn't good? Because I know it was.

CASEY: You make me sick!.

Casey turns to walk away but stops. In the distance four bringers disappear into the East Wick woods.

Stacie and Fredeth are sitting at the dining room table looking through the book of Camarin. Fredeth is reading out loud in another language while Stacie is translating something on a piece of paper. Rebecca is standing behind Fredeth's chair looking over his shoulder.

STACIE: Anything yet?

FREDETH: More Sumerian. Did you translate the first chapter yet?

STACIE: Getting there but when I translate it, it doesn't translate into English. It's another language.

REBECCA: Let me see.

Rebecca walks around the table and takes a seat next to Stacie. Stacie hands her the notebook of translations.

REBECCA: (looking closely) It's Slyphshlonick. This book is coded with another language.

STACIE: Slim, what?

REBECCA: Slyphshlonick it's a language from a species of demons called Slyphshlon.

STACIE: And how the hell do you know this?

FREDETH: Your abilities.

REBECCA: (uneasy) Yeah that's where they come from.

FREDETH: I figured.

STACIE: Okay, Stacie is lost.

FREDETH: A Slyphshlon demon breads fire.

Stacie face lightens up.

STACIE: Wait, you're a demon!?

REBECCA: Half, that's why I can shoot fire from my hands.

STACIE: Oh? Does Steven know about your little demonish?

REBECCA: (chuckles) Yes.

STACIE: (not convincing) Oh, that's cool I guess.

FREDETH: Okay, ladies let's finish doing this and Rebecca I'll talk to you later.

REBCCA: Okay.

FREDETH: (to Rebecca) Do you know what is says?

REBECCA: No, it's coded with another language. I have no clue what it is.

FREDETH: Let me see.

Rebecca hands the notebook to Fredeth. Fredeth looks close and slams the notebook down on the table with anger.

FREDETH: (angered) Damn it! The whole book is encrypted with different languages!

STACIE: So that means it'll take longer for us to find out what it says. That sucks goose eggs.

FREDETH: Goose eggs?

Marty stops drawling and looks up at Minxie.

MARTY: Fat ass? You didn't even see her ass.

MINXIE: Shut up!

Minxie hops off the counter and turns to the trashcan to throw the bag of chips away until something catches her eye.

STEVEN: You can't do that! First off you don't know your powers yet, secondly you aren't trained to fight. They want us and you're putting your head on a silver platter!

KYLE: No, I'm not. If you're gonna bitch like this you should go home!

Steven runs a head of Kyle and blocks his path.
