Part Four

A/N: Thanks to Evil Angel because that's the only person that I've gotten reviews from...cough cough. All "songs" are written by me. Technically they are only poems because I don't have musical talent, but just put some kind of rock/punk beat to it. I don't own the lyrics to "Bring Me to Life." Just credit Evanescence and LINKN PARK. On with the fic.

(Camera pans over a Victorian house that is a little smaller than the manor. The house is on a corner and the sing reads 'Prescott Street.' The manor isn't too far from this house. The front door opens and PAIGE walks out onto the porch. She grabs the mail out of the mailbox next to the door and heads back inside. As she shuffles through the mail the camera zooms in on the lettering.

'Paige M. Hinton, 9242 Prescott Street, San Francisco CA'

There is no return address. PAIGE opens the letter. With a puzzled look on her face, she pulls out a blank piece of paper that was in the envelope. There is nothing else.)

PAIGE: (Whispers to herself) Weird, but what else is expected in this family.

(As PAIGE sets down the letter her finger gets a small paper cut. A drop of the blood drips on the paper. PAIGE frowns and then starts to walk off toward the kitchen hold her finger tightly.)

PAIGE: God, paper cuts kill.

O.S. (Off screen) MALE VOICE: Yes, Paige, if you had millions of paper cuts all over then that would kill you, but I doubt that will.

(PAIGE turns around and smiles.)

PAIGE: Jeff, you're home.

JEFF: I just missed my wife so much today.

PAIGE: Really?

JEFF: Yep.

(JEFF pulls PAIGE to him and kisses her. He smiles as PAIGE lets out a content sigh.)

JEFF: Seems you missed me too.

PAIGE: Always.

JEFF: Where's Tatiana?

(PAIGE smiles again.)

PAIGE: At Phoebe's house. Tristan and Wyatt met some new kids at school who might be their new lead singer and bass player in the band. She went to watch and judge. I think she's taken a liking to one of them. They're twins. According to Tristan they are "really cool guys." If they have Tristan's approval then I don't know if I want Tatiana hanging out with them.

(JEFF gives a light chuckle. As the two walk into the kitchen the camera falls back to the blank paper. Suddenly, the blood is absorbed by it, and then disappears. Camera fades to a large room where music equipment is set up. WYATT, TRISTAN, JENNA, and the twins are all in chairs or on the floor. BEN slips a c.d. into a c.d. player and turns the volume up two more notches. A piano slowly starts to play and then a females voice is heard.)

MUSIC FROM C.D. PLAYER:

How can you see into my eyes
like open doors
leading you down into my core
where I've become so numb?
Without a soul;
my spirit's sleeping somewhere cold,
until you find it there and lead it back home.

MALE VOICES:(I can't wake up.)
Wake me up inside.
MALE VOICES: (Save me.)
Call my name and save me from the dark.
MALE VOICES: (Wake me up.)
Bid my blood to run.
MALE VOICES:(I can't wake up. )
Before I come undone.
MALE VOICES: (Save me.)
Save me from the nothing I've become.

Now that I know what I'm without
you can't just leave me.
Breathe into me and make me real.
Bring me to life.
Bring me to life.
I've been living a lie/There's nothing inside.
Bring me to life.

Frozen inside without your touch,
without your love, darling.
Only you are the life among the dead.

All of this sight
I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark
but you were there in front of me
I've been sleeping a 1000 years it seems.
I've got to open my eyes to everything.
Without a thought
Without a voice
Without a soul
Don't let me die here/There must be something more.
Bring me to life---

(BEN changes the song. ETHAN leans over to WYATT.)

ETHAN: (softly to WYATT) That's an older song of ours. The girl was Ben's girlfriend. I'm surprised he let us listen that far. Things ended on a bad note fore them. No pun intended.

(WYATT nods his head in understanding.)

NEW SONG FROM C.D. PLAYER:

I feel the pain of the world,

It's pressing me down so hard,

I'm losing my breath.

I feel all the sorrow, and it just won't leave,

I'm trying to move on,

Push through,

And forget,

But I can't,

I'm losing my breath.

You tell me that it wasn't my fault,

I still don't understand,

I did it,

Now I'm left with the guilt,

And I'm losing my breath.

A dark cloud seems to follow,

Everywhere I go,

I can't ignore it,

I can't escape it,

I can't run from it,

I'm losing my breath.

I feel the pain of the world,

And I feel all the sorrow,

It just won't let me be,

I'm trying to move on,

Push through,

And Forget,

But I can't,

I'm losing my breath.

Just let me be,

Let my mind be clear and free,

Let me move on,

Push through,

And forget.

Let me lose my breath in peace.

(WYATT looks over to TRISTAN. TRISTAN is obviously impressed. The two nod.)

WYATT: You guys are in.

(A door shutting from downstairs is heard.)

O.S. (off screen) FEMALE VOICE: Tristan, Jenna! I'm home!

JENNA: We're up here, mom!

(BEN and ETHAN look at each other with wide eyes.)

BEN: Hey, Tristan, is your mom's name Phoebe?

(Tristan seems confused, but answers.)

TRISTAN: Uh...yeah.

ETHAN: (To BEN.) This isn't good.

BEN: This is really bad.
