[previous | bottom] ACT TWO
FADE IN:
12 INT. SAFE HOUSE - CORRIDOR - NIGHT. 12
Chris and Twist are walking long another one of the wide,
glass-walled corridors, Twist now wearing a dressing gown and
her New Rock boots - unlaced, of course.
TWIST
Wow. So he was really paling you,
huh?
CHRIS
I'm afraid I wasn't in much of a
state to fight at that point.
TWIST
Yeah, couldn't help but notice the
hundred or so vamps and demons you
fought your way through to get to
the top of that tower! So where was
Julie in all of this?
CHRIS
Why don't we ask her?
Chris pauses at a doorway set into a wall ahead of them, and
motions for twist to enter. As she opens the door, we follow
her into:
13 INT. SAFE HOUSE - GUEST ROOM - NIGHT. 13
Twist steps into a small, motel-like room, plainly furnished
with a bed, a wardrobe, a desk and a TV. Lying on the bed,
propped up by pillows and flicking through the TV channels,
is JULIE.
Twist lights up when she sees her, and bounds across the room
to wrap her arms round her.
TWIST
Jules!
Julie smiles as Twist squeezes her. Twist releases her and
sits on the bed as Chris shuts the door, staying over by the
doorway.
Julie looks a little pale, and her face is peppered with
small cuts and scratches like Twist's, but she's otherwise in
one piece.
JULIE
Hey, Twist. I heard you'd woken up,
figured you'd be round to bug me
soon enough!
TWIST
Guess that sass of yours didn't get
knocked out of you, huh?
JULIE
(smiles)
No, I guess not.
TWIST
So what happened to you? Last I
saw, you were heading off with that
Osbourne guy's team. I've got a few
blanks I still need to fill in.
Julie suddenly falls quiet, and Twist frowns, looking over to
Chris. Chris heads over and takes a seat next to the bed,
squeezing Julie's hand.
CHRIS
Julie and the others found a series
of bombs hidden all around the
city, all part of Malkuth's plan.
TWIST
Yikes! What did you do?
Julie starts to speak, but it's obviously still a painful
memory for her.
JULIE
We, uh, we found some of them, and
David, he, er... he-
Chris interrupts her, picking up on how difficult it is for
Julie to tell this part of the story.
CHRIS
Part of what I did to get rid of
Malkuth shorted out the power
across the whole of New York City
for a few moments, and that was
enough to disable all of the bombs.
(looks at Julie)
Except for one.
Twist bites her lip as things start to fall into place.
TWIST
What happened?
Chris and Julie exchange a look, as we cut to:
14 INT. OFFICE BLOCK - BASEMENT - NIGHT. 14
We pan across a scene of utter devastation - concrete and
steel pillars lie in ruins around us, the scene covered with
rubble.
The explosion we heard earlier obviously started here,
ripping through the entire basement and caving in several of
the levels above it.
Sparks fly off shattered electrical circuits, a few small
fires burn away and a thick cloud of dust coats the scene.
We pan across to one end of the basement, picking up the
blackened shell of what used to be an air conditioning unit,
thick cables and sections of metal ventilation shafts in
pieces all around us.
We can make out a few bodies in amongst all the mess, covered
with dust and unmoving.
After a beat, one piece of the vent shaft moves, and with a
COUGH we can make out somebody trapped beneath it, trying
weakly to push it away.
With a heave of effort, the large, square piece of metal
rolls to one side, and DECADWAY is revealed, several deep
wounds visible across her arms and chest. She coughs again,
trying to stand and wiping the dust from her face.
She looks around the wrecked basement in horror, calling out
with a dry, croaky voice.
DECADWAY
Hello? Hello, is anyone here?
David? Julie?
DeCadway spots another body to her left, and quickly tries to
lift the tangled mess of insulated cables off them. She
reveals the body of KAY - and the large shard of metal
embedded in her chest tells us that she is, sadly, dead.
DeCadway's hands go to her mouth in shock, and as her gaze
stays locked on Kay's body, she doesn't spot somebody else
pushing themselves up out of the rubble behind her.
It's Julie, badly injured but still in one piece, which is
more than can be said for CHESTERTON - the unfortunate
technician's body was covering Julie's, and the array of
wounds on his back show us that he is also deceased.
DeCadway turns round, stumbling over to Julie and helping her
up. Tearful, DeCadway throws her arms round Julie, starting
to sob.
DECADWAY (cont'd)
Oh, God! Oh, my God, Julie...
JULIE
Are you okay?
DECADWAY
I- I think so, but Susan, she's...
Julie looks across, and closes her eyes when she see's Kay's
body. Julie rubs a weary hand across her brow, then see's
Chesterton's body at her feet.
JULIE
Oh, no... Terry!
She rolls him over, but it's clear that he's dead. It looks
like he shielded Julie from the worst of the blast, but it
cost him his own life.
DeCadway continues to sob as Julie bows her head, before she
looks up again and scans the rest of the basement.
JULIE (cont'd)
Where's David?
DECADWAY
Uh, I don't know, he- he was right
next to me, I can't- oh, God,
Julie, what if he's dead too?
JULIE
Then there's nothing we can do.
Come on, Hannah, we've got to work
together to get out of here.
Julie takes DeCadway by the shoulders, looking into her eyes.
DeCadway takes in Julie's serious expression and manages to
hold back the tears.
JULIE (cont'd)
We can't help them. This whole
place could fall in on us at any
second, we've got to get out of
here!
DeCadway nods, and Julie scans the basement again.
JULIE (cont'd)
Okay, here's the plan. I'll find
David, you look for some way back
to the surface. Don't disturb
anything else, this whole place is
like a badly-stacked house of cards
at the moment.
One wrong move could bring the
whole thing crashing down. You got
that?
DECADWAY
I've got it.
The girls stand, Hannah carefully stepping through the rubble
as she looks for a way to get clear as Julie peers around,
looking for Osbourne.
She spots a pair of legs sticking out from beneath a large,
dislodged ceiling panel, and with a GRUNT of effort she
manages to push it to one side, coughing in the dust it kicks
up.
Osbourne is there, not looking too badly injured, but his
eyes are closed and he isn't moving. Julie listens at his
chest and checks his pulse, then breathes a sigh of relief.
DECADWAY (cont'd)
Have you found him?
JULIE
I've got him, he's alive. We need
to get him out of here, he may have
internal injuries! Any luck on a
way out?
DECADWAY
Not yet...
Julie looks down on Osbourne again, and we cut from her
desperate expression back to:
15 INT. SAFE HOUSE - GUEST ROOM - NIGHT. 15
Tears are rolling down Julie's cheeks as Chris pauses the
story, and he reaches out to grab her a tissue. Twist is
sympathetic, holding both of Julie's hands.
JULIE
Terry gave his life to save mine.
There was nothing I could do for
him.
CHRIS
You got out alive, Julie. That's
what he would have wanted.
JULIE
Yeah, well, how about what I would
have wanted?
TWIST
Hey! Julie, don't you go blaming
yourself. It was his choice, you
have to respect that.
Julie bows her head, and Twist glances at Chris.
TWIST (cont'd)
Why don't we change the subject for
a second? You said that Danyael
told you Van Lewin showed up just
after we'd got out of the tunnels,
what happened after that?
CHRIS
Well, right after that, I think you
showed exactly why you've lasted so
long...
Twist cocks her head to one side, curious, and we cut to:
16 INT. EMPIRE STATE - BASEMENT CAR PARK - NIGHT. 16
SLAM! Twist lands heavily in frame, reeling from the last hit
she took. She starts to push herself to her feet, but Van
Lewin steps into view, KICKING her in the chest.
Twist flips over, winded, and Van Lewin takes the opportunity
to leer down at her.
VAN LEWIN
Thought you'd taken care of me,
didn't you? Thought you'd gotten
rid of old Van Lewin, never to be
seen again?
TWIST
Wishful thinking...
Van Lewin scowls and STAMPS down on Twist's chest.
VAN LEWIN
Damn right, wishful thinking! See,
that's one thing you didn't figure
about me, girly. You can take bits
off of me, but I just keep on
coming back.
Van Lewin reaches down and starts to roll up his left pants
leg, and Twist boggles at what she sees there.
The whole of Van Lewin's left leg is cybernetic! Coated in
chrome panelling, but every bit as thick and muscular as his
other leg, he flexes it a few times with a HISS of hidden
hydraulics.
VAN LEWIN (cont'd)
See that? State of the art. They
tied the thing right back into my
nerve endings, feels just as good
as my old one did. Difference is...
He KICKS her again, sending Twist rolling across the floor
with a bloody nose.
VAN LEWIN (cont'd)
They make 'em much heavier!
Van Lewin chuckles and stomps over, grabbing the stunned
Twist by her shirt collar and lifting her up in the air, her
feet dangling.
VAN LEWIN (cont'd)
Malkuth paid me to take care of you
two if you made it out of there,
and that's exactly what I'm gonna
do. I figure I can show you how it
feels to lose a leg or two, see if
you can get an idea of what you did
to me before I put you down.
TWIST
Sounds great... just one thing you
forgot...
VAN LEWIN
And what's that?
Twist grins - and then KICKS Van Lewin hard in the groin. Van
Lewin's eyes pop, and he drops Twist, staggering backwards.
She rears back and PUNCHES him in the face.
TWIST
You don't...
Another PUNCH, sending out a spatter of blood from Van
Lewin's split lip.
TWIST (cont'd)
Hit...
And the third PUNCH sends Van Lewin reeling backwards,
landing on the floor with a THUD.
TWIST (cont'd)
Girls!!
Twist dashes over to Danyael, pulling him to his feet as the
stunned Van Lewin starts to get back up.
TWIST (cont'd)
Spook! Time to go, before he-
Van Lewin GRABS Twist and throws her to the floor, pausing to
KICK Danyael before he turns back to Twist.
He stomps towards her, blazing with anger.
VAN LEWIN
You little bitch! I'm gonna make
you watch while I tear your
boyfriend inside out!
TWIST
Oh, give it a rest!
Van Lewin swings with a punch, but Twist flips neatly to her
feet, blocking it.
The two begin to spar, Van Lewin's slower but heavier blows
giving Twist time to duck, dodge and block, chopping and
kicking back faster than he can react.
Twist's face is a mask of anger as she lays into Van Lewin,
beginning to get the upper hand through sheer rage.
TWIST (cont'd)
You picked the wrong girl to mess
with this time, you crap-bashing
ass midget!
WHACK! She kicks him in the face, leaving a boot print there.
She tries to press the advantage, but Van Lewin recovers
enough to grab her foot, spinning her round and SLAMMING her
onto the floor.
He tries to grab her again, but Twist spins her legs round,
knocking him off his feet, and as Van Lewin hits the ground
she leaps onto his chest, pinning his arms down with her
knees and PUNCHING him repeatedly in the face.
Three heavy punches and Van Lewin's almost out, Twist's face
still a snarling mess of pure rage as she raises her fist one
last time, SCREAMING with anger.
Danyael suddenly lunges into frame, grabbing Twist's blood
stained fist before she can land the killing blow.
DANYAEL
Twist, no!!
She throws him a killer stare, but he doesn't back down,
keeping a firm grip on her wrist.
DANYAEL (cont'd)
(shakes head)
Don't kill him. You'd be no better
than he is. You said that to
Lucinda once, remember?
Twist, breathing heavily, looks back down on Van Lewin - his
face is a mess of blood and bruises, his breathing shallow
and ragged. There's no fight left in him.
Twist lowers her fist, slowly starting to calm down - and Van
Lewin starts to SNICKER, wheezing with pain.
VAN LEWIN
I knew it... I knew you couldn't do
it... You're too weak, vampire! You
haven't... got the balls... to do
it...
Twist narrows her eyes and stares down at him.
TWIST
You ever hear that saying, 'life's
just one big joke'? I always liked
that. But you know something I just
realised?
Van Lewin blinks - and with a final SMACK, Twist knocks him
cold with one last punch.
TWIST (cont'd)
I'm the punchline.
She stands up, still breathing heavily as her system calms
itself down, before she sees Danyael throwing her a raised
eyebrow.
TWIST (cont'd)
What? I didn't kill him, did I?
He chuckles and shakes his head.
DANYAEL
Never mind. C'mon, let's go find
Chris and Julie and get out of
here.
TWIST
Yeah. Wonder how they're doing?
As the duo walk away from Van Lewin's sprawled, unconscious
body, Twist rubbing her sore knuckles, we cut to:
17 EXT. OUTSIDE TOWER BLOCK - NIGHT. 17
The sword fight is still going on, Chris able to keep up the
battle even in his weakened state.
Chris SHOVES Ciegue back into the abandoned news van,
stabbing with his katana but just missing Ciegue as the wily
assassin rolls out of the way.
Chris lunges again, but Ciegue jabs his elbow up into Chris'
outstretched arm, and Chris YELLS in pain as we hear the
CRUNCH of a bone fracturing.
Chris clutches his arm and staggers back, letting his sword
fall. Ciegue swings for his neck, but Chris dodges back.
On the back foot, Chris dodges several steps backwards as
Ciegue takes several swings at him, ending up at the first of
the police cars on the scene.
Chris rolls across the bonnet, narrowly avoiding getting
skewered to it as Ciegue stabs his sword down.
Chris smirks as he sees Ciegue is getting frustrated with how
long the fight is taking.
CHRIS
What's the matter, Ciegue? Am I
messing up your schedule? Should
you have finished me off by now?
CIEGUE
Enough!
Ciegue LEAPS over the bonnet, and Chris has to roll out of
the way to avoid him.
CIEGUE (cont'd)
When I rip out your heart, I'm
going to mount it in a museum as an
example to others!
CHRIS
I was never one for museums,
myself...
Chris KICKS out, knocking Ciegue off his feet.
CHRIS (cont'd)
... they stay in the past too much
for me.
Ciegue FLIPS back to his feet, and as he charges towards
Chris with a SNARL, we cut to:
18 INT. OFFICE BLOCK - BASEMENT - NIGHT. 18
Julie has Osbourne in the recovery position, rolled onto his
side, as we see Decadway in the background checking up what
used to be the stairway leading up to the ground floor of the
building overhead.
She turns and calls to Julie, one hand on a displaced cinder
block next to her.
DECADWAY
Hey, Julie! I think I found
something! Looks like we can-
DeCadway suddenly stumbles to one side as Julie looks round -
the cinder block she'd been leaning on falls to the side, and
as it lands it unbalances a large section of semi-collapsed
roofing overhead.
DeCadway looks up in horror as the several hundred pounds of
concrete above her starts to shift, moments away from burying
her.
Julie is already on her feet, racing across the rubble as
fast as she can.
JULIE
Hannah! Move! Get out of there!
DeCadway is transfixed, her eyes locked on the blocks above
her as they shift further, dust cascading down from them as
they start to GROAN, stone grinding against stone.
She throws one arm up as the first chunk of roofing starts to
drop down towards her...
... until with a SLAM, something blurs past her and knocks it
out of the way.
DeCadway blinks, looking around, but a moment later the blur
streaks past again, scooping her up and carrying her rapidly
out of the way as the blocks CRASH down into the space she
just left.
DeCadway finds herself on the ground several feet away,
coughing in the dust as Julie finally reaches her, helping
her up.
JULIE (cont'd)
Hannah? Are you alright?
DECADWAY
I'm fine, I'm fine - what the hell
just happened?
SANCTUS (O.S.)
You had a lucky escape, my dear...
The girls SPIN round - and facing them in none other than
SANCTUS, the elegantly-featured vampire who first Turned
Chris!
Sanctus's neat, receding hair is a little wild from his
daring rescue, and his long, lavish dark red coat is caked
with dust, but as the vampire grins and bows slightly for the
ladies, it's clear he's lost none of his style.
JULIE
Who the hell are you?
SANCTUS
My name is Sanctus. I'm a friend of
Christopher's... and I'm here to
get you out of this tomb.
Julie and DeCadway exchange a look, and from that, we:
BLACK OUT:
END OF ACT TWO
ACT THREE
FADE IN:
19 INT. SAFE HOUSE - GUEST ROOM - NIGHT. 19
Twist is watching Chris with rapt interest as he continues
the story, leaving Julie to sit quietly, when there is a
KNOCK at the door.
JULIE
(calls out)
It's open.
The door opens and in steps Danyael, a brown paper grocery
bag in his hand. He's peering into it, so doesn't see Twist
sitting on the bed.
DANYAEL
Uh, they were all out of that soda
you asked me for, so I got you-
TWIST
Spook!!
Danyael looks up, pausing for a beat as he sees Twist - and
then with a huge grin he jogs over to her. Twist jumps up to
meet him halfway, the two wrapping their arms round each
other and squeezing tightly.
Julie and Chris exchange a sly grin, before turning back to
the two vampires.
DANYAEL
(happily)
You're up!
TWIST
(nods)
That I am. Good as new, pretty
much.
(looks into grocery bag)
Whatcha got?
Danyael makes a jokey show of moving the bag away from
Twist's prying eyes.
DANYAEL
Things for Julie. She's been
recovering as well, you know!
TWIST
Yeah, but she doesn't mind helping
a fellow hero recover with the aid
of a few sugary treats...
(to Julie)
... do you?
JULIE
(chuckles)
Help yourself, Twist. The doctor
said I'm about ready to leave here,
so I asked Dan to go out and buy me
a big bag of junk food to
celebrate.
Danyael grins and holds the bag out to Twist, who snatches it
away and empties it out onto the bed. Danyael sits next to
Twist, and as she and Julie make a start on sorting through
the snack foods on offer, Chris allows himself a smile - the
team is reunited at last.
Twist takes a grateful bite out of a candy bar, then
remembers something, and parts her hair to show Danyael the
scar she found there earlier.
TWIST
Oh, hey, check this out.
DANYAEL
(impressed)
Wow.
(to Chris)
Is that where she...
Chris nods, and Twist throws him a look.
TWIST
Where I what?
CHRIS
There's still a bit of the story to
tell.
TWIST
So tell! I've got junk food and my
posse all back together. I'm in the
zone.
Chris smiles, and we cut to:
20 EXT. OUTSIDE TOWER BLOCK - NIGHT. 20
Chris, still holding his wounded arm, tries to get some
distance between himself and Ciegue.
The lightning-fast assassin jumps up onto a police car roof,
leaps across onto the nearby police van and then soars
through the air, landing right in front of Chris - and STABS
him with his sword, right in the gut.
Chris YELLS and slides backwards, landing heavily on the
ground again.
Ciegue steps over him, retrieving a stake from inside his
jacket and twirling it in his fingers.
CIEGUE
You know, I've often wondered if
one of these things would kill you
or not, Chris. Shall we find out?
CHRIS
Be my guest...
Chris tries to spring to his feet, but Ciegue is too quick,
and with a lunge of his sword, he IMPALES Chris through the
shoulder, driving his sword blade into the ground.
Skewered in place, Chris can't move as Ciegue grins, raising
the stake and standing victoriously over him.
CHRIS (cont'd)
So this is it? This is the great
victory you always wanted over me?
Kicking a man while he's down,
taking advantage of other people's
hard work?
CIEGUE
(shrugs)
A kill's a kill when you're in my
line of work, Chris. Oh, I know
there'll be nights when I look back
on this and wonder what would have
happened if you'd been fresh, and
if we could have had a real
fight...
Ciegue stops smiling, gripping the stake tightly and
preparing to strike.
CIEGUE (cont'd)
... but I can't allow you to live a
moment longer.
Ciegue rears back, and Chris closes his eyes.
He stabs down with the stake - which is suddenly KNOCKED out
of the way as Twist's boot sails into frame!
Startled, Ciegue looks across and sees Twist, now with only
one boot, striding towards him through the rain.
TWIST
Hi, honey! Did you miss me?
Ciegue GROWLS, places one foot on Chris' chest and presses
down, drawing his sword back out of Chris' shoulder. This
naturally causes Chris a lot of pain, and he HOWLS.
CIEGUE
I'll kill you in a second, Twist!
Don't be a fool! This is between me
and Chris, if you value your life,
walk away!
TWIST
Oh, don't get me wrong, I value my
life as much as I value my
'Firefly' DVDs, but there ain't no
way some no-eyed reject hitman's
gonna take out my partner!
Ciegue looks down at Chris, who is too weak to move, and
KICKS him with a sneer.
CIEGUE
You'd give your life for this...
thing? I can't even call him a man,
he's not human enough for that.
CHRIS
(weakly)
Twist... no...
TWIST
You're damn right I would! He'd do
the same for me.
(beat)
At least, he'd better, or I'm gonna
kick his ass once I finish showing
you what the inside of yours looks
like.
Ciegue stares at her for a beat - then grins. He looks down
and sees Chris' katana lying on the floor, so he strides
over, flicking it into the air with his boot and catching it
with his free hand.
CIEGUE
Very well. It's only fitting that
you fight me with his sword, it'll
give your death an almost poetic
denouement.
TWIST
(beat)
Okay, I don't know what that last
word meant. I'm still gonna have
you on your knees in about thirty
seconds, begging me to stop showing
the world what a whiny little
crapbucket you really are.
Ciegue smirks again at Twist's bravado, and strides forward,
tossing her Chris' katana.
She catches it, giving it a few twirls and swings, showing
that she knows how to use it.
As 'Rise' by The Cult starts to play, Twist lifts the katana
up, aims it at Ciegue and grins.
TWIST (cont'd)
Ladies first.
Ciegue chuckles - and then launches into his attack, leaping
into the air and spiralling round, his spinning sword forcing
Twist to block a succession of hits.
Hopping back out of the way, Twist is ready for him as he
lunges forward, the two fencing with one another with as much
intensity as Chris and Ciegue's duel, sparks flying from the
blades as they clash, rainwater spinning away from them as
they feint and attack.
Chris is trying to push himself to his feet when Danyael
appears in frame, helping the woozy Chris to his feet. Chris
has lost a lot of blood from his wounded shoulder, and seems
almost delirious.
CHRIS
No... we have to help her!
DANYAEL
She can handle it, Chris, come on!
She told me to get you out of here
before coming back to help her.
Chris watches as Ciegue and Twist duel, Twist's face a mask
of concentration as she holds the skilled assassin at bay.
CHRIS
(quietly)
Twist...
Chris is helped to his feet, Danyael throwing an arm round
his shoulder and carrying him away as we move back over to
Twist.
She's still fighting off Ciegue's attacks, but she's playing
to defend, not to kill, and Ciegue soon takes advantage of
this, increasing his attacks and finally SLICING his blade
across Twist's arm.
She SHOUTS in pain and staggers back a little, and Ciegue
takes the opportunity to laugh.
CIEGUE
I knew it! You're just playing to
break even here, aren't you? Hold
me at bay until reinforcements
arrive?
TWIST
I don't have any reinforcements,
Shades, I'm all the backup I need!
CIEGUE
Oh, that's touching. I'll be sure
to tell them to put that on your
tombstone.
He attacks again, but the injury is slowing Twist down, and
it isn't long before he slices across her cheek, her stomach
and her leg in rapid succession.
Twist staggers back, her advantage slipping away, and Ciegue
steps forward, his blade flashing through the air. It's all
Twist can do to keep him at bay, and when he stabs forward
and sinks the blade into her gut, she CRIES OUT in pain and
stumbles to the ground.
He steps back and sneers at her as she pushes herself up.
CIEGUE (cont'd)
Oh, come on! This is too easy! I've
been paid way too much for how this
fight has gone so far - haven't you
ever heard of value for money?
Twist's expression is defiant as she stands again.
TWIST
You know something? You talk way
too damn much.
She ATTACKS, catching him off guard and starting to push him
back a few steps.
TWIST (cont'd)
And do you know what I always find?
Ciegue GROWLS and tries a low swing with his sword, but Twist
hops neatly over it, catches Ciegue on his back foot and
SLAMS her blade into his throat, piercing straight to the
other side.
Ciegue COUGHS, pressing a hand to the sword blade embedded in
his neck as Twist coolly puts her hands on her hips.
TWIST (cont'd)
It becomes kinda hard to make
snappy remarks with two foot of
sword sticking out of your throat.
Mostly, you'll just gurgle.
(beat)
And bleed.
Twist turns her back on him and starts to walk away.
What she doesn't see is Ciegue reach a hand up for the
katana's hilt, and with a slow, agonising pull, he draws the
blade back out of his throat, coughing but still very much
alive and kicking.
With his expression one of unadulterated fury, he hefts up
the sword, takes aim at the departing Twist, and THROWS it
towards her.
Twist is unsighted as the blade spears past her, slicing
across the side of her head.
She YELPS and drops to the floor, pressing a hand to the
wound which comes away bloody.
Stunned, she rolls onto her side, looking up as Ciegue steps
slowly towards her, the ugly red wound on his throat also red
with blood.
With some difficulty, he speaks, his voice hoarse and raspy.
CIEGUE
You turn your back on me? Ciegue
Sicario, the finest assassin in the
world?
Ciegue retrieves the stake he was going to use on Twist and
stomps over to her, kicking her onto her back and clamping
one boot down on her throat.
CIEGUE (cont'd)
(furious)
Nobody turns their back on me!
He raises the stake, ready to take care of Twist once and for
all - but suddenly, a sword blade BURST through his chest
from behind!
Ciegue GULPS and drops the stake - and we pull back to see
Sanctus on the other end of the sword, with Julie and
Decadway standing a few feet away.
SANCTUS
You're getting sloppy, Ciegue! When
we last met, you'd have already
killed her by now. I guess you're
just not as good as you used to be,
eh?
Ciegue makes a choking sound, and a thin trickle of blood
runs from his lips. Sanctus draws the sword back out of him,
and Ciegue drops to his knees, then crashes face down onto
the floor.
Sanctus steps over to Twist and holds out a hand to help her
up.
She's shaking now, her system going into shock from the
damage she's taken, but she tentatively reaches her hand out
to him.
SANCTUS (cont'd)
My apologies for not getting here
sooner. I literally had to burrow
my way out of the ground to get
your friend Julie to safety!
TWIST
J-Julie? Is s-she...
SANCTUS
She's fine. So is Chris, and so is
Danyael. Thanks to you.
Twist glances across and sees Julie, who manages a wave to
her, her other arm round the still woozy DeCadway.
TWIST
Well... that's j-just dandy. Now,
can you give me a min-minute? I n
need to slip into s-something more
comfortable, l-like toxic shock...
And with that, Twist wilts and faints away, but Sanctus
catches her, scooping her up in his arms and turning to
Julie.
SANCTUS
She's very weak. We need to get her
some help quickly or her body will
slip into a coma.
JULIE
Do vampires do that?
SANCTUS
If we're hurt badly enough, yes.
Let's move.
DECADWAY
We've got another base, few blocks
away. Should be good to go there.
