Opening scene:
A local
teenager Marilyn Joy is enjoying her new found time off and has invited some of
her friends over for a little keger in her basement while her parents are away
on a trip. She calls people up on the phone and asks them to bring the
essentials. Meeting a few hours later they all arrive and start to drink and
other things. Marilyn talks to Spring over in the corner of the room. They are
discussing how boys really suck and how they wish they would just die. Without
another word Spring says “Done” and vanishes. On one of the couches Randy Debit
crumples over and begins to clinch his chest. Four spider-like legs come
bursting out of his sides and his skin begins to rip off of his frame. His
insides grow larger and eventually there is a monstrous spider standing there.
Marilyn leaps for the ax grabbing it while one of her friends is impaled on one
of its legs. The rest of the group runs to the only exit, the stairway. The
thing then begins to spin a web around the door leading out blocking some of
them in. The rest make it up the stairs and run. Some of the rest manage to
break the bonds but with little else they can do flee as well. Luckily they
have Marilyn. She swings the ax hitting the thing dead on slicing its side
another blow and the thing goes down. Her overcome with adrenaline keeps
bashing away at it until she is sure it’s dead. After that she huddles into a
corner waiting for help to arrive clutching her ax the entire time.
Act1:
Dante is at the church meeting with his allies within it. This would
happen to be his holy water supplier, Father Nelson. In the confessionals
collaborating and words of support are given to Dante to not loose hope (not
Hope). Stepping out of the confessional there is a woman and her child ready to
enter when suddenly the woman shrieks and drops her child. It starts to become
a sickly green color with bugging eyes and sharp claws. It grows taller and
taller until it reaches 4ft. tall. It pounces on its first target, Dante.
Dodging its attack he pulls out a crucifix and brandishes it at the thing. It
snarls in anger and lunges again. Again Dante avoids the blow. It grabs a
candleholder and throws it into the confessional Father Nelson was in. Taking
his cane in hand he reveals the blade within and assaults the creature with a
flurry of strikes. Able to only avoid a few it soon it out matched and falls
dead. The woman begins to scream and shout frantically at Dante saying that he killed
her baby. Father Nelson scrambles out of the confessional at the same time and
tries to douse himself, however, his wounds are fatal and he dies in Dante’s
arms. Dante gets on the phone to the police station to send somebody down
there.

to lay down a few rules. The more important ones are as follows:
1)
Must always be home by
2) Must do chores before leaving the house.
3) May have to do occasional errands.
4) You stay out of my stuff I’ll stay out of yours.
Ruby accepts them without much
fuss and continues to unpack. After she is finished she requests to use the
phone to call up Tristy. Ms. Dunnal agrees and Ruby calls her up. She asks her if
she wants to come over and help her to get moved in and perhaps look at a spell
or two. Tristy gladly says yes and starts to drive over. Before Tristy arrives
Ms. Dunnal asks Ruby to go to the “Candle” shop for a bag of stuff that
Act3
Ruby comes in on the scene and
finds both people unconscious. She runs over to Tristy
to see if she is al right; however, Tristy is still
unconscious. Ruby calls the police and tells them to come quickly. The Cops
arrive as well as an ambulance. Ms. Dunnle is sent to
urgent care while Tristy is examined by a physician
at the scene and is said to take it easy. After trying to make up a tale that
the police will believe Tristy stays with Ruby and
tells her what really happened. Ruby thinks it would be best if she were to
stay here for the night but Tristy says that she need
to tell her aunt what happened and start researching this. She tells Ruby to
call up Mr. K and the others and inform them to research this thing. As Tristy is taken away by a police officer to go home, Ruby
gets this really creepy vibe coming from the other side of the house. Going
around the house Ruby sees what looks like a cemetery for pets. There was over
fifty here, but the strange thing is that they where all buried in a
traditional way of a familiar (you know witches and their black cats). Well
after the comforting fact that there is a cemetery in her back yard she goes
back into the house all alone. Ruby digs out her spell book and begins to read.
Scene switches to Tristy getting dropped off and
running up to the house, then up the stairway, then into a study like room
where her aunt is. She Tells her aunt and they begin rifling through all the
books in the library.
Hope is at the Hospital doing her
usual rounds. The then discovers that she has run out of bed pans and needs to
go to the storage room for more. She walks in and the door shuts behind her
leaving her in the dark. She flicks on a switch and goes over to the shelves.
Then out of nowhere a hand shoots out at her from the shelf. With her slayer
reflexes she grabs the hand. The scalpel it was wielding drops to the floor.
Looking through the shelves she sees one of the other nurses but one thing is
different, her mouth is gone. Horrified Hope steps back to the door, the nurse
advances. As she reaches for Hope she clasps to the floor looking up at Hope
with imploring eye praying for her to help her. Hope picks up the woman and
places her in a wheelchair and takes her out of the storage room. Yelling for
help she finds none until she gets up a few floors. A doctor is coming around
the corner and nearly gets run over. He sees the woman and pages the other
doctors on his pager. Suddenly the hallway is filled with staff and they put
the woman on a gurney and hall her off.
