INT - FREDETH'S APRATMENT/ LIVING ROOM - NIGHT
Fredeth is sitting on the couch reading a newspaper with his feet resting on the coffee table. Stacie is curled up in the love seat across the room reading some love a book. Her eyes are watery.
STACIE: (to self) I can't believe Karl is dead.
Fredeth looks up from the newspaper with an annoyed look.
FREDETH: What are you sapping about?
STACIE: (holding back tears) This book. It so good, you should read it.
FREDETH: (rolling eyes) I'll pass.
Fredeth continues reading the newspaper.
STACIE: (setting down the book) I have to take a break from this.
She wipes her tears and stands to her feet. She heads over to the window and glares out of it. When she notices a group of Bringers and several vampires standing out side of the apartment complex. Stacie steps back slowly and turns to Fredeth.
STACIE: (fear) Fredeth, look at this.
He looks up from his paper.
FREDETH: What is it?
STACIE: Look outside.
Fredeth closes the newspaper and sits it on the coffee table. He stands to his feet and goes to the window to look. Out sound the Bringer's and the Vampires run in scatter formation. Fredeth steps back from the window.
FREDETH: Those bastards are up to something. Get Casey and get some weapons.
Stacie runs into the back.

CASEY: Stacie told me the 411. So how many?
FREDETH: About six Bringers and three vampires.
STACIE: Whoa, that's a lot.
CASEY: Are they working together?
FREDETH: Yeah, it looks like it.
CASEY: So they must be The First's army?
FREDETH: I wouldn't say that but I know they're working with The First. I need a weapon.
Casey hands him a sword.
CASEY: Here.
FREDETH: Thanks. We need Steven and Noah.
A knock on the door makes everyone jump as their heads turn to the door.
CASEY: You think it's them?
STACIE: I highly doubt they would knock.
Fredeth slowly makes his way over to the door and looks through the peek hole.
FREDETH: Oh god!
Fredeth opens the door and Noah spills in holding his wound. Fredeth catches him before he meets the floor.
STACIE: Noah!
Stacie and Casey runs over to Noah's aid. Casey helps Fredeth take him over to the couch. They lay him down. Stacie kneels down beside him and places her hand over his wound.
STACIE: (holding back tears) What the hell happened to you?
NOAH: (weak) Bringers and vamps attacked me in the graveyard.
STACIE: (crying) Oh god! They stabbed you.
NOAH: (weak, snickers) Yeah its okay, it's a flesh wound. Only in the ribs.
Stacie wipes her tears away and clears her throat.
STACIE: Yeah. We have to get you to a hospital.
NOAH: (weak smile) Yeah I guess so.
Suddenly the door burst open and Bringers come rushing in.
FREDETH: (yells) Get Noah out of here!
Stacie helps Noah up to his feet and they quickly walk into the back.
Casey punches Bringer#1 in the face as she extends her leg kicking Bringer #2 in the face. Fredeth plunges his knife into a Bringer's stomach. Two Bringers chase after Stacie and Noah. Stacie and Noah stumble into the training room.

Stacie steps back.
STACIE: (nervous) Listen, don't do this. I know you're a good guy inside.
The Bringer charges at her. Stacie runs over to the weapons closet as the Bringer follows her. Stacie flings open the weapons closet and pulls a crossbow out. She turns and points it at the Bringer.
STACIE: Peace out.
She pulls the trigger, the arrow flies out and into the Bringer's head. It falls over, dead.
STACIE: (gulps) That was close.
She runs back over to the door and closes it as two Bringers run up to the door. Stacie locks the door. She steps back as the door is being banged on from the other side by Bringers.

REBECCA: Do you hear that?
Steven stops.
STEVEN: What is it?
REBECCA: Heavy breathing.
STEVEN: Let's get inside.
As they run to the door three vampires step in front of them blocking their paths. Steven and Rebecca step back. One of the vampire snarls as he steps forward. Vampire#1 leaps at Rebecca and vampire#2 and #3 charge at Steven. Steven leaps in the air as the vampires run under him. Steven lands.

Casey and Fredeth stand at the window watching in awww.
CASEY: Fredeth, what the hell was that? His eyes were closed the whole time and he did it perfectly. He doesn't know how to fight that well. How can he do that?
FREDETH: (baffled) I don't know but it was good.
CUT TO:
INT - EAST WICK HOSPITAL/HOSPITAL ROOM - NIGHT
Everyone (Steven, Casey, Fredeth & Stacie) is surrounding Noah's bed. Stacie is sitting on the bed beside him. Stacie is rubbing his head, Noah is asleep.
CASEY: (worried) Is he going to be okay?
STACIE: Yeah, he will. The doctor said he lost too much blood and so they're gonna take some of mine.
CASEY: That's good.
STACIE: Guys, what was that tonight?
FREDETH: It's war, that's what it is. The First has declared war and we need to fight back. I don't think this was meant to kill any of us, It was a warning. They had Noah where they wanted him they could have easily killed him.
STACIE: If this the beginning of the war, we're in trouble. I can't stress this enough. We'll lose. Look around- we're not a army. (pause) We can't do this alone.
FREDETH: I understand what you are saying Stacie. But right now, we are an army. And we will act like one and we will not give up. (stern) Is that clear?
No one answers.
FREDETH: (raises voice) Is that clear?!
ALL: Yes.
Awkward silence. A knock on the door breaks the silence. Everyone's head turns to the door to see Rebecca standing in the thresh hold. She has a forced awkward smile across her face.
REBECCA: Hi...
STACIE: Who are you?
STEVEN: Oh, she's with me. I'll be back.
Steven turns and walks out pulling Rebecca into the hall.

Steven and Rebecca exit the hospital and walks over to a bench and sits.
REBECCA: (smile) This has been a interesting night.
STEVEN: Yeah.
REBECCA: I guess it was kind of fun.
STEVEN: It was, wasn't it? So? where do we go from here?
REBECCA: (thinking) Ummm. This.
Rebecca grabs his shirt and pulls him into a kiss. The camera pans back as music begins to play. Beautiful Love By: The After
What a beautiful smile

On this beautiful night
We'll make everything right.

FADE IN
EXT - CONDO/ESTABLISHING - MORNING
A large white brick apartment building with a garden around it. Its fenced in with a tall black fence.
INT - CONDO/LIVING ROOM - MORNING
We see the same young, blonde, woman from the club wearing a long black silky robe.The young woman is sitting on a couch looking through a purse. She pulls out a wallet and opens it. She pulls out a driving license. Camera pans in on the license she is starring at her self. The name reads Alicia Lennon. She runs her finger over the picture then feels her face. She stands to her feet heads over to a body length mirror and studies her self. She pulls her hair back and studies her face then she slides off her robe and studies her naked body.
ALICIA: Beautiful proportion.
Suddenly she sees her self in the reflection standing behind her dressed in a black dress. Alicia gives a half smile and turns around.
ALICIA: I love the look.
THE FIRST: Love yours too. Nice body.
Alicia kneels down and picks up her robe and raps it around her again.
ALICIA: Thanks.
She heads over to her couch and sits down.
ALICIA: So when do I start. (smirk) When can I get into their lives?
THE FIRST: Be patient, Alicia.
ALICIA: So I'm curious. What made you pick this body?
THE FIRST: Why do you ask so many questions?
ALICIA: Well I'm working for you so I should have the right to ask you as many questions I want. You know, I came to you. I can easily leave.
THE FIRST: (smirking) Honey, do you know who your talking to?
ALICIA: (exaggerating) Ohhh the infamous, powerful, oh Great One. The First. (giggle) Your name isn't very catchy. It's a little bland.
THE FIRST: Do you know what? I like you. I'm glad you're my right hand woman. But let's get one thing settled. I-
ALICIA: Save the small talk. So what's the plan?
The First ignores Alicia's last comment.
THE FIRST: Okay, smartass. Like you said, you need to get into their lives and sabotage every plan that comes their way. And don't fail or I'll kill you myself.
Alicia stands to her feet.
ALICIA: Silly, you can't kill. Incorporeal, remember?
Alicia approaches The First and runs her finger's through it's chest. The First rolls its eyes.
THE FIRST: (annoyed) You know what I mean.
ALICIA: (evil grin) So basically I have to break them down so badly that they will never walk again?
THE FIRST: Exactly.
The First disappears into a light. We see Alicia standing there by her self. She crosses her arms with a devious smile on her face.
