CHAPTER 22: TWO FACED
(Pleasantville Park. Tommy [wolfed out], Tonya, and Sky-Anne are still fighting the teenagers.)
Tommy: (Between punches) Sky-Anne, you hung out with these creeps?
Sky-Anne: (Ducking a kick) What? You hung out with them too.
Tommy: Oh . . . right.
Maria: You can't win Sky-Anne.
Sky-Anne: (Sarcastic) Oh really? Are you a fortuneteller as well?
(All of a sudden Maria and the other teenagers stop)
Maria: Stop your fighting. Our Master is calling to us.
Tommy: You know. I really don't like that guy.
Maria: We'll meet again Sky-Anne for one last final battle.
Sky-Anne: (Raised eyebrow) Do you hear yourself? I mean, really. My God you're such a drama queen.
(Maria hisses at her. She turns to leave with the others as they disappear into the shadows)
Tonya: And I thought my adolescent years were hectic.
Sky-Anne: At least they're gone, for now. Tommy, can you still sniff out Merton?
Tommy: Already ahead of you sister. Follow me.
(Camera changes to the road outside Catherine's house. Dana is driving the hearse, while Merton is in the passenger seat, barely conscious. Tommy, Sky-Anne, and Tonya are seen by the headlights. Dana slows down and gets out of the car)
Sky-Anne: Dana, why are you driving Merton's car?
Dana: (Wearing the overcoat) Gee Sky-Anne, maybe if you had followed me a little closer you would already know.
Sky-Anne: (Blushing) We were just making sure-
Dana: Whatever. Let's not talk about this alright? (Going over to the passenger's door) Merton's in trouble.
Tonya: What happened?
Dana: Remember the sub? Turns out she's a vampire.
Tommy: Is he okay?
Dana: Not dead, but he'll be fine, that is, if we can get him some blood in time.
Sky-Anne: Then let's get him to the hospital. We need to do it now or-
Dana: No-
Sky-Anne: What? Are you crazy? He's going to die if we don't.
Dana: I know. You didn't let me finish. WE can't take him; it'll take too long. Tommy, you gotta carry him. You're the one with the Superman speed here.
Tommy: Right. I'll take care of it.
(Tommy takes Merton and dashes off. Sky-Anne, Dana, and Tonya watch.)
Sky-Anne: Sorry Dana, I didn't mean to offend you.
Dana: You didn't.
Sky-Anne: Shouldn't we get going?
Dana: Yes. I suppose we should.
(Tonya knocks Sky-Anne out with a tree branch)
Dana: Thank you Tonya.
Tonya: No problem.
T.V.O. I hurried as fast as I could. Merton's life was in danger, and every next second was hurting him.
Tommy: Please, he needs to see a doctor.
(Various medical assistants push a stretcher carrying Merton)
Nurse: We've got it under control. We'll take it from here.
Tommy: Can I do anything?
Nurse: (Sympathetic) No dear, I'm afraid you'll just have to wait. But, you can answer a few questions. What happened to him?
Tommy: (Half-dazed) Umm, he got bit.
Nurse: Bit? By what?
Tommy: I mean. Wait, umm . . .
Nurse: Calm down. You don't have to answer now. Just try to get some rest.
(The nurse turns to leave)
Tommy: (Sarcastic) Oh sure. That'll be easy.
(Dark caves. The fiery pit grows stronger than before. Tonya brings in an unconscious Sky-Anne.)
Master: Welcome Tonya. I see you've brought the witch. Where is my Dana?
Tonya: She's taking care of a business opportunity.
Master: The time is getting closer. She must hurry before it's too late. I want that Tommy gone for good.
Tonya: (Grinning) Don't fret. We'll take care of it.
(Outside Catherine's house. Catherine's body starts to move. She lifts her head up, cracking her neck.)
Catherine: Great. Now I have a headache.
Dana: You'll have much worse than that if you don't follow my instructions.
Catherine: Not you again. Alright missy, ready for round two?
Dana: Oh no. You don't want to fight me.
Catherine: Is that a fact?
Dana: Yes indeed. After all, we're on the same side. We both worship the same Master.
Catherine: Then why did you screw up my plan?
Dana: Because, you're price was too high. You see I need Merton. He's very important to me and to the Master. You know I actually did you a favor. By turning the boy into a vampire, I would have been furious, and the Master would see you kissing sunlight, without that amulet you hold to so dearly.
Catherine: (Scared) I meant no harm. Please, forgive me. Just don't take my amulet away. It's my only power.
Dana: Yes that is a very interesting piece of jewelry. Myth says that the first vampire forged it himself, if I'm not mistaken. It has the power to hypnotize and even protect the vampire that wears it. The myth also says it was lost forever in an erupting volcano.
Catherine: Not all myths are fully correct.
Dana: Of course. Oh, now, don't worry. I won't take it away from you, but I need you to do a favor for me now. I want you to find Tommy Dawkins yourself, and I want you to kill him.
Catherine: Done.
(Catherine runs off)
Dana: (Satisfied) I love my job.
(Pleasantville Hospital)
Tommy: (Near Merton's bed) Hang in there buddy.
Doctor: Mr. Dawkins may I see you for a moment?
Tommy: Sure. What is it Doctor?
Doctor: I'm afraid it doesn't look too good. Are you sure none of his family is in town?
Tommy: Yeah.
Doctor: And you don't know when they'll be back?
Tommy: No. Nowadays they just take off without telling him anything.
Doctor: Oh . . . well then I-
Tommy: What did you mean by not looking good?
Doctor: Well, he's lost a lot of blood, what did you say it was again?
Dana: I believe it was a wild animal, right Tommy?
Tommy: Dana?
Dana: Yes, we were in the woods, and he was bitten by an animal, or something.
Doctor: Well, that would explain the large holes in his neck. Alright, that'll be all for now.
(The Doctor leaves. Dana and Tommy go into the room.)
Tommy: (Shutting the door) Where's everybody else?
Dana: They got sidetracked. I was worried about Merton.
Tommy: You should be. The doctors say he won't make it.
Dana: Of course they do, Tommy. They're doctors.
Tommy: And so they wouldn't know how to save him then? Okay, I'm confused.
Dana: No, they wouldn't. Not when it comes to the paranormal. I was thinking, as a werewolf you have faster healing abilities than a normal human being. Maybe you could-
Tommy: Don't even suggest it Dana. I'm not going to bite Merton.
Dana: It's the only chance he has. Look, after you bite him and he gets better, we can just slip him some wolf's bane and all is forgotten.
Tommy: It just doesn't seem that simple.
Dana: It is Tommy. C'mon, do you want Merton to live?
Tommy: Of course I do.
Dana: Then bite him Tommy.
(Tommy hesitates. Then nods his head. Dana grins. Later on. Dana and Tommy sit by Merton's bed.)
Tommy: (Happy) He's getting better.
Dana: I know. I knew it would work.
Tommy: Shouldn't we get some of that wolf stuff? You know, just before anything bad happens.
Dana: Well, the thing about that Tommy is-
(She hits Tommy hard, knocking him to the floor)
Tommy: (Rising back up, wolfed out) What the-
Dana: Surprise.
Tommy: So it is true. You are evil.
Dana: I'd like to think of it as being reformed.
Tommy: Why Dana? What's gotten into you?
Dana: A child, what's your excuse?
(Tommy looks confused. Catherine jumps on him from behind, pushes him towards the wall, and starts to choke him)
Dana: Thank you Catherine, your timing is impeccable. You'll have to pardon my friend, she seems to have a crush on you, or rather, your throat. You might remember her. Catherine . . . Onassis?
Tommy: The sub.
Catherine: I always love a pupil with a good memory.
Tommy: Oh that's too bad because you seem to be loosing one right now.
(Tommy pokes Catherine's eye. Catherine whimpers in anguish. Tommy charges at Dana.)
Dana: Touch me and I'll scream.
Tommy: You wouldn't.
Dana: Hmm, I wonder how the citizens would react if they finally caught that were-creature they'd been after for the passed few months. Don't worry, I'll give you a head start.
(Tommy starts to run. Dana opens the door)
Dana: Help! Help! The wolf man, he's here.
(Tommy runs towards the hospital window. He bursts through it, tumbling down.)
(Dana stops screaming. She races to the window in glee. She looks down. She doesn't see Tommy anywhere. Her smile fades)
Doctor: Are you alright Miss?
Dana: Oh, I'm just having a dog of a time.
(Dark caves. Sky-Anne looks bloodied and bruised)
Master: Now, are you ready to join us?
Sky-Anne: Never.
Master: Oh dear. I was hoping this would have been the last beating.
Sky-Anne: You'll never have me. (Spits out blood) You'll just have to kill me first.
Tonya: That can be arranged.
Master: Silence. Now, Sky-Anne, I was inside of you for quite some time. I know you have a little desire in there somewhere to be one of us.
Sky-Anne: You forget, when you left my body, you took that with you.
Master: (Flames become higher) My patience is growing thin with you child. Very well, take her away. (Sky-Anne struggles as Tonya drags her away) Teenagers these days.
(Pleasantville Park. Tommy walks along the sidewalk)
Tommy: This can't be happening.
Sky-Anne: Tell me about it.
Tommy: Sky-Anne?
Sky-Anne: Look, I don't have much time. They left me alone for a while, but they'll be back.
Tommy: Where are you?
Sky-Anne: At their headquarters.
Tommy: What? What are you talking about?
Sky-Anne: Tommy, Dana is evil.
Tommy: I've noticed. She's got this vamp chick with her too. And they've got Merton.
Sky-Anne: Is he alright?
Tommy: Well, he wasn't.
Sky-Anne: What do you mean?
Tommy: Dana talked me into biting him, to save him. (Getting frustrated) Why did I listen to her?
Sky-Anne: It's alright Tommy. I'm sure you did it with good intentions.
Tommy: Yeah, a lot of good that did.
Sky-Anne: Tommy, you have to come get me before they can do anything else. They're looking for you. I'm the only one that can protect you, that's conscious.
Tommy: What's that suppose to mean?
Sky-Anne: Never mind I have to get going. Oh, one more thing, there's somebody else you can't trust, it's-
(Sky-Anne disappears)
Tommy: Sky-Anne?
(Tommy spots the caves near Pleasantville)
Tommy: Why don't I have a good feeling about this?
(Pleasantville Hospital)
Dana: (Supporting a weak Merton) Is it clear?
Catherine: Yeah, those people were yummy.
Dana: That's just like you vampires, always thinking with your teeth.
(Dana walks down the hospital wing. A doctor comes from out of nowhere. Dana glares at Catherine)
Catherine: Okay, so I missed one.
Doctor: What are you doing? You can't take him-
Dana: (Casting him aside with the flick of her hand) And, why would I care? (Turning to Catherine) Now you, find Tommy, and don't let him get away this time, alright?
Catherine: Yes Mistress, my apologies.
(Later on. Dark room. Merton turns on a light.)
Merton: Where am I?
Dana: Somewhere safe.
Merton: Safe from whom?
Dana: (Sympathetic) Merton, Tommy is after us.
Merton: What? Why?
Dana: He and the rest have decided that our child is evil. Now they're trying to hunt us down.
Merton: This can't be right. Are you sure he isn't just confused?
Dana: I tried to explain. They wouldn't listen. Merton, I'm scared; what if they find us?
Merton: (Taking her hand) I won't let anything happen to you, or to our baby.
Dana: (Smiling) I knew you'd say that.
(Tommy enters the caves. He tries to sneak in, and hears a crack behind him. He turns around. It's Tonya)
Tonya: Tommy, what are you doing here?
Tommy: Trying to rescue Sky-Anne.
Tonya: Me too. Look, I know these caves, follow me.
Tommy: Okay. Where are we going?
Tonya: (Turning on him) No where.
(She draws out a long sword.)
Tommy: No fair. Where's my weapon?
Tonya: Weapon?
Tommy: Yeah, isn't that the rules?
Tonya: There's only one rule in killing someone, and that's making sure they die.
Tommy: Good call.
(Tommy ducks a swing from the sword)
Tommy: What's gotten into you Tonya?
Tonya: I came to my senses. You don't really think I actually liked you do you?
Tommy: Ouch.
(Dungeon. Sky-Anne picks at a lock)
Sky-Anne: Come on, almost there. Got it.
(Sky-Anne opens the door and holds up a small object)
Sky-Anne: Hair clips- stylish and useful. Now to find Tommy.
(She teleports into the fight scene. The sword misses her by an inch)
Sky-Anne: Well, safe to say I found him.
(Tommy punches Tonya making her fall to the ground)
Sky-Anne: (Throwing the sword) Tommy, here!
Tommy: (Catching the sword, points it to Tonya) Any last requests?
Tonya: (Coughing up blood) Tommy? Wha- what's going on?
Sky-Anne: Don't listen to her. She's trying to trick you.
Tonya: Where are we? Wha-what's happening?
Tommy: I think she's for real Sky-Anne.
Tonya: Sky-Anne? Where are we?
Sky-Anne: (Rolling her eyes) Typical.
Tommy: Are you really you or are you evil you?
Tonya: Huh?
Tommy: It's her.
(Tommy helps her up)
Tonya: The last thing I remember is fighting this big, ugly guy.
Tommy: Gee, thanks.
Tonya: No, not you. I wasn't even here. I was up on those mountains.
Tommy: Well . . . that was a while ago then. You've missed out on a lot.
Sky-Anne: We'll fill you in on the details on the way back to the Lair. Come on.
(Tonya and Sky-Anne start to leave. Tommy looks into the cave curiously)
Tonya: Tommy, we gotta hurry.
Tommy: We're not alone.
Tonya: Exactly! That's why we need to go before anyone else finds out that we're here.
Tommy: No, I mean. I smell Dana . . . and Merton.
(Sky-Anne and Tonya pause)
Tommy: Are you guys up for this?
Sky-Anne: (Rolling eyes) Why not?
Tonya: Sure . . . umm, what are we up for again?
(The dark room. Merton is better, sitting on the bed thinking. Dana paces inside the room)
Dana: He's getting closer. I can feel him. He's not alone.
Merton: I'll talk to him. He'll listen to me.
Dana: No Merton. He won't. You didn't see his eyes. They were burning with rage.
Merton: Oh that's nothing. See, sometimes his eyes glow when he gets really angry and- oh, I see your point.
(Outside the room. Tommy, Sky-Anne, and Tonya approach)
Tommy: They're in here.
Sky-Anne: Okay. Let's not do anything that would alarm them.
Tommy: I just don't understand what Dana said. Something about a child?
Sky-Anne: Umm, yeah. I kinda overheard some conversation when I was in the dungeon. See, the Master couldn't bring forth total chaos because we stopped him, right? So now he's trying to bring forth total chaos through his son.
Tonya: You mean, Dana's pregnant?
Sky-Anne: Right, but in order for this to happen a special ritual, a.k.a. the one this previous full moon, had to be established before the woman conceived a child with the man.
Tommy: But, who was the man?
Catherine: Honestly, are you that dumb in the head to not figure it out yet?
Tommy: Hey, no one asked you.
Catherine: No one had to ask puppy. I just said what everyone else was thinking.
(Catherine charges at Tommy, knocking him down on the floor)
Tommy: A little help here ladies?
(Sky-Anne and Tonya struggle to move)
Sky-Anne: We can't.
Tonya: Something's got us.
Catherine: I'm glad you showed up. I was getting really thirsty.
(Catherine is about to bite Tommy when she suddenly stops. She looks down at the wooden stick coming out of her chest, then looks around to see her amulet on the floor. Before she can do anything else, her body turns into dust.)
Tommy: (Dusting himself off) Thank a lot . . . Merton?
(Merton stands over him with a pointy wooden staff in hand.)
Tommy: Thanks bud- (Merton aims the staff towards Tommy's neck) dy.
Merton: I don't want to hurt you Tommy.
Tommy: Neither do I.
(Merton lowers the staff and helps Tommy up)
Merton: Leave Dana alone.
Tommy: Merton, she's not who you think she is.
Merton: I know you think that. I don't know who's told you that, but it's wrong.
Sky-Anne: Merton, she's tried to kill us. All of us.
Tonya: Except me.
Sky-Anne: Except Tonya.
Merton: What? She's done nothing. Just because she's been near you when people try to kill you doesn't necessarily mean she's evil.
(Tommy, Sky-Anne, and Tonya raise their eyebrows)
Merton: I'm serious.
Tommy: Merton, you have to come with us. You're not safe here.
Merton: I'm not leaving them. It's my child too you know.
Tommy: She doesn't love you Merton.
Merton: What do you know about love? Huh? Everyone you've ever loved has been too scared to love you back.
Sky-Anne: Merton!
Tommy: (Hurt) No. He's made his decision. (Backs up.) You know we won't stop until we've defeated Dana and whatever scheme she's up to.
Merton: I know.
(Tommy, Sky-Anne, and Tonya start to leave. Merton looks on at them saddened.)
Merton: (Sighs) Wait, Tommy-
Tommy: Yeah?
Merton: (Pause) Be careful.
Tommy: You too.
(The three teenagers leave. Merton waits until they're out of sight. He drops the staff)
Merton: (Glowing eyes) So long.

CHAPTER 22: TWO FACED
(Pleasantville Park. Tommy [wolfed out], Tonya, and Sky-Anne are still fighting the teenagers.)
Tommy: (Between punches) Sky-Anne, you hung out with these creeps?
Sky-Anne: (Ducking a kick) What? You hung out with them too.
Tommy: Oh . . . right.
Maria: You can't win Sky-Anne.
Sky-Anne: (Sarcastic) Oh really? Are you a fortuneteller as well?
(All of a sudden Maria and the other teenagers stop)
Maria: Stop your fighting. Our Master is calling to us.
Tommy: You know. I really don't like that guy.
Maria: We'll meet again Sky-Anne for one last final battle.
Sky-Anne: (Raised eyebrow) Do you hear yourself? I mean, really. My God you're such a drama queen.
(Maria hisses at her. She turns to leave with the others as they disappear into the shadows)
Tonya: And I thought my adolescent years were hectic.
Sky-Anne: At least they're gone, for now. Tommy, can you still sniff out Merton?

Sky-Anne: What? Are you crazy? He's going to die if we don't.
Dana: I know. You didn't let me finish. WE can't take him; it'll take too long. Tommy, you gotta carry him. You're the one with the Superman speed here.
Tommy: Right. I'll take care of it.
(Tommy takes Merton and dashes off. Sky-Anne, Dana, and Tonya watch.)
Sky-Anne: Sorry Dana, I didn't mean to offend you.
Dana: You didn't.
Sky-Anne: Shouldn't we get going?
Dana: Yes. I suppose we should.

Dana: Thank you Tonya.
Tonya: No problem.
T.V.O. I hurried as fast as I could. Merton's life was in danger, and every next second was hurting him.
Tommy: Please, he needs to see a doctor.
(Various medical assistants push a stretcher carrying Merton)
Nurse: We've got it under control. We'll take it from here.

Master: Welcome Tonya. I see you've brought the witch. Where is my Dana?
Tonya: She's taking care of a business opportunity.
Master: The time is getting closer. She must hurry before it's too late. I want that Tommy gone for good.
Tonya: (Grinning) Don't fret. We'll take care of it.
(Outside Catherine's house. Catherine's body starts to move. She lifts her head up, cracking her neck.)
Catherine: Great. Now I have a headache.
Dana: You'll have much worse than that if you don't follow my instructions.

Doctor: Mr. Dawkins may I see you for a moment?
Tommy: Sure. What is it Doctor?
Doctor: I'm afraid it doesn't look too good. Are you sure none of his family is in town?

Catherine: Okay, so I missed one.
Doctor: What are you doing? You can't take him-
Dana: (Casting him aside with the flick of her hand) And, why would I care? (Turning to Catherine) Now you, find Tommy, and don't let him get away this time, alright?
Catherine: Yes Mistress, my apologies.
(Later on. Dark room. Merton turns on a light.)
Merton: Where am I?
Dana: Somewhere safe.
Merton: Safe from whom?
Dana: (Sympathetic) Merton, Tommy is after us.
Merton: What? Why?
Dana: He and the rest have decided that our child is evil. Now they're trying to hunt us down.
Merton: This can't be right. Are you sure he isn't just confused?
Dana: I tried to explain. They wouldn't listen. Merton, I'm scared; what if they find us?
Merton: (Taking her hand) I won't let anything happen to you, or to our baby.
Dana: (Smiling) I knew you'd say that.
(Tommy enters the caves. He tries to sneak in, and hears a crack behind him. He turns around. It's Tonya)
Tonya: Tommy, what are you doing here?
Tommy: Trying to rescue Sky-Anne.
Tonya: Me too. Look, I know these caves, follow me.
Tommy: Okay. Where are we going?
Tonya: (Turning on him) No where.
(She draws out a long sword.)
Tommy: No fair. Where's my weapon?
Tonya: Weapon?
Tommy: Yeah, isn't that the rules?
Tonya: There's only one rule in killing someone, and that's making sure they die.
Tommy: Good call.
(Tommy ducks a swing from the sword)
Tommy: What's gotten into you Tonya?
Tonya: I came to my senses. You don't really think I actually liked you do you?
Tommy: Ouch.
(Dungeon. Sky-Anne picks at a lock)
Sky-Anne: Come on, almost there. Got it.
(Sky-Anne opens the door and holds up a small object)
Sky-Anne: Hair clips- stylish and useful. Now to find Tommy.
(She teleports into the fight scene. The sword misses her by an inch)
Sky-Anne: Well, safe to say I found him.
(Tommy punches Tonya making her fall to the ground)
Sky-Anne: (Throwing the sword) Tommy, here!
Tommy: (Catching the sword, points it to Tonya) Any last requests?
Tonya: (Coughing up blood) Tommy? Wha- what's going on?
Sky-Anne: Don't listen to her. She's trying to trick you.
Tonya: Where are we? Wha-what's happening?
Tommy: I think she's for real Sky-Anne.
Tonya: Sky-Anne? Where are we?
Sky-Anne: (Rolling her eyes) Typical.
Tommy: Are you really you or are you evil you?
Tonya: Huh?
Tommy: It's her.
(Tommy helps her up)
Tonya: The last thing I remember is fighting this big, ugly guy.
Tommy: Gee, thanks.
Tonya: No, not you. I wasn't even here. I was up on those mountains.
Tommy: Well . . . that was a while ago then. You've missed out on a lot.
Sky-Anne: We'll fill you in on the details on the way back to the Lair. Come on.
(Tonya and Sky-Anne start to leave. Tommy looks into the cave curiously)
Tonya: Tommy, we gotta hurry.
Tommy: We're not alone.
Tonya: Exactly! That's why we need to go before anyone else finds out that we're here.
Tommy: No, I mean. I smell Dana . . . and Merton.
(Sky-Anne and Tonya pause)
Tommy: Are you guys up for this?
Sky-Anne: (Rolling eyes) Why not?
Tonya: Sure . . . umm, what are we up for again?
(The dark room. Merton is better, sitting on the bed thinking. Dana paces inside the room)
Dana: He's getting closer. I can feel him. He's not alone.
Merton: I'll talk to him. He'll listen to me.
Dana: No Merton. He won't. You didn't see his eyes. They were burning with rage.
Merton: Oh that's nothing. See, sometimes his eyes glow when he gets really angry and- oh, I see your point.
(Outside the room. Tommy, Sky-Anne, and Tonya approach)
Tommy: They're in here.
Sky-Anne: Okay. Let's not do anything that would alarm them.
Tommy: I just don't understand what Dana said. Something about a child?
Sky-Anne: Umm, yeah. I kinda overheard some conversation when I was in the dungeon. See, the Master couldn't bring forth total chaos because we stopped him, right? So now he's trying to bring forth total chaos through his son.
Tonya: You mean, Dana's pregnant?
Sky-Anne: Right, but in order for this to happen a special ritual, a.k.a. the one this previous full moon, had to be established before the woman conceived a child with the man.
Tommy: But, who was the man?
Catherine: Honestly, are you that dumb in the head to not figure it out yet?
Tommy: Hey, no one asked you.
Catherine: No one had to ask puppy. I just said what everyone else was thinking.
(Catherine charges at Tommy, knocking him down on the floor)
Tommy: A little help here ladies?
(Sky-Anne and Tonya struggle to move)
Sky-Anne: We can't.
Tonya: Something's got us.
Catherine: I'm glad you showed up. I was getting really thirsty.
(Catherine is about to bite Tommy when she suddenly stops. She looks down at the wooden stick coming out of her chest, then looks around to see her amulet on the floor. Before she can do anything else, her body turns into dust.)
Tommy: (Dusting himself off) Thank a lot . . . Merton?
(Merton stands over him with a pointy wooden staff in hand.)
Tommy: Thanks bud- (Merton aims the staff towards Tommy's neck) dy.
Merton: I don't want to hurt you Tommy.
Tommy: Neither do I.
(Merton lowers the staff and helps Tommy up)
Merton: Leave Dana alone.
Tommy: Merton, she's not who you think she is.
Merton: I know you think that. I don't know who's told you that, but it's wrong.
Sky-Anne: Merton, she's tried to kill us. All of us.
Tonya: Except me.
Sky-Anne: Except Tonya.
Merton: What? She's done nothing. Just because she's been near you when people try to kill you doesn't necessarily mean she's evil.
(Tommy, Sky-Anne, and Tonya raise their eyebrows)
Merton: I'm serious.
Tommy: Merton, you have to come with us. You're not safe here.
Merton: I'm not leaving them. It's my child too you know.
Tommy: She doesn't love you Merton.
Merton: What do you know about love? Huh? Everyone you've ever loved has been too scared to love you back.
Sky-Anne: Merton!
Tommy: (Hurt) No. He's made his decision. (Backs up.) You know we won't stop until we've defeated Dana and whatever scheme she's up to.
Merton: I know.
(Tommy, Sky-Anne, and Tonya start to leave. Merton looks on at them saddened.)
Merton: (Sighs) Wait, Tommy-
Tommy: Yeah?
Merton: (Pause) Be careful.
Tommy: You too.
(The three teenagers leave. Merton waits until they're out of sight. He drops the staff)
Merton: (Glowing eyes) So long.
