Hello, this is just a short screenplay that I wrote for a school project. My teacher seemed to like it so out of sheer boredom, I decided to upload this onto my account ( which I guiltily admit has been inactive for 2 years). This is based on the TV SERIES of the vampire diaries, so for those who haven't seen it, you may not know, well, 2 out of the 3 characters in this. Nonetheless I hope this will be an enjoyable read and please feel free to leave a review! Thank you so much!
England 1475
TREVOR AS NARRATOR
I was 17 years old when I was turned.
To put it frankly, I didn't choose this lifestyle. But then again, I didn't want to die. So really, what choice did I have?
17 YEAR OLD TREVOR LAYING SICK IN BED WITH DOCTOR AND HIS SISTER, ROSE.
DOCTOR
This boy is very ill. He won't make it for the morning sun.
ROSE
Is there really nothing you can do?
DOCTOR
If there was, he would be on his feet, now wouldn't he? However...
ROSE
However?
DOCTOR
For a price, I guess I could...
Doctor grabs Rose's wrists.
DOCTORS LUSTFUL FACE
ROSE
Is there a cure, or not?
DOCTOR
That depends on you, my lady.
Rose twists out of the doctors grasp and bends his wrist back, then compels him.
ROSE
I ask again, Is there a cure, or not?
DOCTOR
No..No there is not. There is no cure for the boy.
ROSE
Very Well, you may go.
Rose bites the doctor and drains him of his blood, killing him.
ROSE
Your reward for your honesty.
Rose wipes her mouth and stands over Trevor.
ROSE
Trevor. Trevor, wake up.
Trevor wakes up, his face pale and eyes red.
TREVOR
I heard the doctor, Rose. I'm going to die.
ROSE
You are not going to die.
TREVOR
Spare me the false hope, Rose. I don't need your encouraging words before my heart decides to stop beating and my brain de-
Trevor coughs widely, his body quavering in the bed
TREVOR
Leave me be, Rose. It's for the best. Let your little brother have a peaceful death.
ROSE
Peaceful death it will be, brother.
Rose bites her own wrist and thrusts it onto Trevor's mouth.
Trevor's shocked face as he chokes on the blood.
ROSE
I can kill you painlessly now, or You can wait until the sickness kills you.
Trevor's relaxed, bloodied face, breathing slow and loud
TREVOR
Do as you please, Sister.
Rose snaps his neck.
Trevor as narrator
And that was how I was turned. You'd expect Rose to be a lot more gentle, perhaps even nicer. But we were stubborn children, and we hated the vulnerability that derived from our weaknesses. I guess you can say I'm grateful for what she's done for me. I mean, I didn't die.
TREVOR WAKES UP AS A VAMPIRE.
ROSE
Took you two days worth to awake, Trevor.
TREVOR
My apologies for taking so long to return to the living, sister.
ROSE
Always a snarky bastard you are.
Rose smiles and pulls Trevor into a hug.
TREVOR
Now it is reality.
ROSE
What is?
TREVOR
You and Me, protecting one another,for an eternity.
Rose
Very well it is.
TREVOR
This is what mother and father would have wanted right?
ROSE'S SAD, UNCERTAIN FACE.
ROSE
They would have wanted nothing more..
Rose pulls out of the hug.
ROSE
Now, let's go.
TREVOR
Where to?
Rose
To feed. It won't be an eternity if you haven't any blood in you.
TREVOR DRINKING BLOOD FROM THE NECK OF A YOUNG WOMAN
Rose
Trevor, stop! Trevor, You'll kill her!
Trevor drops the woman onto the floor, snapping her neck.
TREVOR'S BLOOD SMEARED FACE AND DARK DEMOTIC EYES.
TREVOR AS NARRATOR
But sometimes, I wish she would have just let me die.
ROSE
Trevor! I told you, leaving bodies around is far too dangerous for our existence.
TREVOR
Leave me be.
ROSE
No! Trevor! If you continue this, we will all be dead. What has gotten into you?!
TREVOR
You made me this way! You haven't the right to yell at me.
ROSE
I saved your life
TREVOR
Maybe I did not want you to.
ROSE'S SHOCKED AND HURT FACE.
Trevor turns around and leaves into the woods.
TREVOR AS NARRATOR
Life as a vampire wasn't as beautiful as it seemed. The life of immortality, the strength and powers that cheated the intentions of God. We were the creatures of the night, bound to the eternal life of blood and death. It didn't take long for me to completely fall of the rails. In between hating myself and drowning in the euphoria of the human veins, I found myself at rock bottom- literally.
Trevor laying at the bottom of sharp seaside rocks by the beach, blood everywhere, with his eyes wide open.
TREVOR As narrator
I should have known that it took more than jumping off a cliff to kill myself. When I felt the heavy air slice at my skin and the pressure press against my chest, I could only feel the stiffness of my limbs relax, as if they were enjoying the ride. And when I felt the sharp rocks protrude through the back of my head, I thought I had finally done it. The pain was incredible, like my skull was being bashed with a hammer again and again until all that was left were fragments of shattered bones.
But almost immediately, I felt it. The bitter sweet miracle that was my indestructible core. It had only taken my body 32 seconds to realize it was torn apart. 32 seconds for the healing to begin, and peel my broken skin and bones back to perfection. And so I laid, bloodied with the tingly sensation of my newly healed wounds pressed against the jagged rocks, staring at the bright blue sky that was ever so lively.
Trevor's eyes open slightly, his ears twitched once
WOMAN'S VOICE
Hello? Are you alright?
TREVOR AS NARRATOR
It was then, I met her.
woman with curly dark hair and green dress running towards him
WOMAN'S VOICE
Oh my god! Sir! Hello? Are you alright?!
Trevor, stay lying down, turns to the side to look at the woman.
Woman falls onto the rocks in front of Trevor and looks at him with concern.
TREVOR AS NARRATOR
I guess I scared her quite a bit when I first met her. It's not everyday you come to see a man drenched in his own blood sleeping upon the rocks that waves crashed onto. I could remember the look in her eyes; the beautiful look of concern and heart in those big brown eyes.
TREVOR
I...I am well.
TREVOR AS NARRATOR
The Humanity.
THE WOMAN
But your clothes...and your skin..All that blood..
Trevor stares into the woman's eyes, his pupils dilate
Trevor compels the woman
TREVOR
You saw nothing, I am not hurt.
WOMAN'S VOICE
You are not hurt...
TREVOR
What is your name, fair lady?
WOMAN'S VOICE
My name is Katerina. Katerina Petrova.
Trevor's love stricken face.
TREVOR AS NARRATOR
It would be a lie to say I wasn't attracted to her. I can remember the moment I set my eyes on her, the moment I heard those beautiful words escape her lips. It was like my heart learned to beat again; waking up from it's lonely sleep.
Trevor and Katerina sitting together by the beach, talking
KATERINA
Are you new to England? I have never seen you around.
TREVOR
No, I have lived here all my life.
KATERINA
Do you have any family?
TREVOR
I have a sister, Rose. But we are not close anymore.
KATERINA
Why not?
TREVOR
She killed me.
KATERINA'S CONFUSED FACE.
TREVOR
But you brought me back to life.
Katerina smiles
TREVOR AS NARRATOR
It would have been a lie to say I didn't fall in love with her.
Trevor and katerina laughing and walking through town
KATERINA
Trevor, look!
Katerina points at a hair piece in a store
TREVOR
It's beautiful
Katerina touches the hair piece in her hand, Trevor takes it and lays down money onto the clerk's table
KATERINA
Trevor?
Trevor places the hair piece into her hair
TREVOR
And it looks beautiful on you.
TREVOR AS NARRATOR
I can't say that Katerina saved me from jumping off the cliff, or that she was the one who nursed me back to health.
That is human talk.
KATERINA
Thank you, Trevor!
Katerina jumps and hugs Trevor
TREVOR AS NARRATOR
But she is the reason I am alive.
