INT. SUMMERS KITCHEN-NIGHT
Buffy stands in front of the door, she is ready to go to patrol..
BUFFY:
Dawnie? I'm going on patrol!
She looks behind her to the door ..
BUFFY: (cont'd)
And don't forget to study! You've
got a math test tomorrow!
Dawn appears in the door to the living room, she doesn't look very excited..
DAWN:
Why can't I go on patrol with
you? I've learned enough already!
BUFFY:
Dawn we have been through this!
As long as your schoolwork isn't
affected you can go on patrol
with me ,so?
DAWN
(yearning)
Yeah OK! Ill stay at home !
But tomorrow..
Willow enters the room..
WILLOW:
Come on Dawnie , math is
waiting! Ill help ya..
She looks towards Buffy
WILLOW: (cont'd)
You going on patrol?
Buffy nods.
WILLOW:(cont'd)
Alone ? I mean .. without Spike?
BUFFY:
Yes I'm going alone! I've done it
before, so why is it so strange
now?
(Willow says nothing)
OK I'm off! Have fun with the
maths!
Buffy goes outside
EXT-SUMMERS HOUSE-NIGHT
We watch from a LURKERS POV ,as Buffy gets out of the House
As she walks down the street , we reveal our lurker, it's A VAMPIRE , which watches from afar, among with THREE OTHER VAMPIRES
VAMPIRE:
Now she is still too strong for
us! But soon she'll be weak.
And I'll kill her without any
problems!
The vampires nod and laugh dirtily
VAMPIRE: (cont'd)
But her friends will die first!
And she is going to kill them
herself!
CUT TO:
EXT. SUNNYDALE STREET-NIGHT
We see that Buffy is still on patrol and she seems rather bored , no vampires anywhere
Suddenly she hears someone scream and she begins to run
Not far from her, a vampire tries to attack a woman, who screams like hell
WOMAN:
Oh my god! Help me! She is a
monster!
Just as Buffy enters the scene from behind
BUFFY:
Hey! Why don't you try someone
more equal ,like me?
With that, she attacks the vampire and knocks it against a wall!
It struggles , but then gets up again. The woman can escape and
runs for her life, while Buffy attacks again
The vampire now turns around and Buffy stops and looks shocked
BUFFY:
Willow?
We reveal that the vampire is indeed Willow, but she is not a leather Vamp as she was in Cordelia´s wish this time she wears the clothes she has worn before as we saw her in the kitchen..
VAMP WILLOW:
Nahh .. I'm not Willow anymore!
And you know that!
(smiles evilly )
but I think you'll taste good!
With that she lunges at Buffy and tries to bite her, Buffy manages to get away from her, but stumbles and falls to the ground from there she just stares at Willow
She still looks shocked
VAMP WILLOW:
Aww Buffy are we afraid?
Are you thinking about little
Dawnie?
(grinning)
I don't think she needs a math
test anymore ,does she?
Now Buffy realizes that this is really the Willow she left at the house with her sister Dawn, she is totally shocked
While she is still in shock and she cannot move, Evil Willow grabs her chance and runs away
VAMP WILLOW:
(still grinning evilly)
Don't worry we'll see each other
again honey! And I can't wait to
taste you!
With that she vanishes into the dark, leaving Buffy alone
END OF TEASER
ACT 1
Buffy still is at the place where she has seen Vamp Willow,
after a few seconds she comes to her senses again
BUFFY:
(to herself)
Dawn!
She begins to run
CUT TO:
INT. SUMMERS KITCHEN- A LITTLE LATER
Buffy runs into the kitchen, we see that the back-door is open ,but apart from that the whole kitchen looks normal, like no fight has been happening
BUFFY:
Dawn?
(more panic)
Dawn? Where are you?
But no answer, so she takes out a stake and goes upstairs, to search for her sister
We can see that everything is dark upstairs
BUFFY:
Dawn? Come out, please!
I'm here now ,everything is gonna
be okay!
(louder)
Daaaawwnn!
Still no answer and Buffy really looks worried now. As she hears that someone is behind her She turns around and sees Dawn, who morphs into Vampface
VAMP DAWN:
You called me, big sis?
Buffy now is in extreme shock and just stares at her former sister
BUFFY:
Oh god!
She raises her stake and aims it at her sister ,but holds back,
she can't really do this..
She looks at the stake
VAMP DAWN:
That's naughty! You are really
going to kill your sister? I
don't think so!
Buffy raises the stake again and tries to regain herself, but with no avail
The hand with the stake sinks again
VAMP DAWN: (cont'd)
Awww come on you couldn't do it
last time when we were at Glory's
tower ..I know that you can't
kill me! But hey that doesn't
mean that I cant
Kill you!
(grins evilly)
Come here and I promise to make
it quick.
Vamp Dawn lunges out to Buffy , who moves backwards
VAMP DAWN:
Hey I didn't think I'd live long
enough to see you once afraid! Hm
actually I'm not alive anymore
,so...
Buffy just stares at her and says nothing , then after a few seconds she turns around and runs away . Now she doesn't have the force to deal with her sister.
VAMP DAWN: (cont'd)
Hey would you just stay here?
I wasn't ready and I'm not in the
mood for running now!
She stares after Buffy , but makes no move Suddenly not so interested anymore
VAMP DAWN: (cont'd)
Tsss , why´d I just know you
wouldn't be there for me,when I
need you? I will get you anyway
,but I gotta find me a snack
first! I'm hungry!
Dawn moves to go and search for her snack
Off Dawns evil grin
EXT. SUNNYDALE STREET-NIGHT
Buffy is running again and we see that she reaches Xanders apartment..
BUFFY:
(to herself)
God please let him be OK!
She moves into the building and bangs at the door..
BUFFY: (cont'd)
Xander! Please open up!
(louder)
Xander!
But nobody seems to be at home..
Then suddenly she hears something from behind
XANDER:
Oh you are looking for me?
That's good ,cause I'm here
for you , too! More for your
blood actually but we could also
have some fun if you want to!
With that he moves for Buffy
She makes a face, but still looks shocked
BUFFY:
Ewwww! First, I think you don´t
get the "you are my best friend
thing"! Second ,eww you are dead!
And third ,you are drunk,too.
God get away from me!
Buffy backs away and they play a sort of "catch me" game
Xander tries to embrace her and Buffy gets away
VAMP XANDER:
Oh come on, you always had a
thing for deadboys! First there
was Angel And then there was
Spike! Now you act like that
was nothing?
BUFFY:
You know that Angel was different
and Spike.. ugh .. that was...I
wasn't myself back then!
And...
Beat.
(to herself)
Oh god I'm defending myself to
the vampire version of Xander!
She runs a few metres down the corridor and gets her stake out
Xander has followed her and stands right before her and they both look each other into the eyes
VAMP XANDER:
Come on Buff, lets have some
Fun! I could eat you, literally!
He moves to kiss her and Buffy pushes him away
Again she raise her stake and aims it at him
BUFFY:
Don't think I wont kill you!
I killed Angel remember?
So run!
Xander just laughs.
BUFFY:
I said I have no problem with it!
She attacks Xander and they start a fight
Buffy throws a few blows at him and knocks him to the ground,
then she raises her stake and plunges it into Xanders
shoulder..
ON BUFFYS SHOCKED FACE AS SHE STARES AT HER BLOODY HAND
VAMP XANDER:
(angry)
Bitch! You hurt me! Now you are
going to die!
Now Xander throws Buffy away from him, he gets up and then gets up to start the fight again
Buffy looks again at her hand which is still full of Xanders blood she shudders, then looks at Xander
BUFFY:
(whispers)
Oh god! I'm ... Im so sorry!
Then she runs away without looking back
INT. BRONZE -NIGHT
We see Willow ,wearing her human face, and she dances in the crowd. After a few moments she recognizes a boy who is looking at her and moves to dance with him.
CUT TO:
EXT. SUNNYDALE STREET-NIGHT
Buffy is still running , but it seems that she has no real clue,
where she is going, then the Sunnydale cemetery comes to sight,
she halts a few seconds then she decides to go there
INT. SUNNYDALE CEMETERY- A LITTLE LATER
Buffy is moving through the cemetery, searching for Spike ,
after a few moments when she doesn't find him, she walks
straight to the crypt , once in there she finds him, huddled in
a corner.
BUFFY:
Spike!
Spike doesn't move . He seems totally absent. Buffy moves to him.
BUFFY:
(rambling)
Spike ! I need your help! Dawn
and the others.. they are... I
have to kill ... oh my god
Buffy sinks to the floor she is truly desperate Spike moves slowly towards her
SPIKE:
Slayer .. Buffy!
Buffy is not able to answer, she just remains on the floor ,
crying. Spike tries to calm her but she just says nothing
After a few beats Spike can't hold any longer. He grabs Buffy and shakes her, to get her out of her state.
SPIKE:
Slayer .. Buffy stop it! If I
should help you ,you must tell me
what's up !
Buffy still does not react.
SPIKE:
(angry now)
Buffy! Bloody hell what is up
with you?
He shakes her more harder and suddenly Buffy reacts and stops crying and looks at him.
SPIKE: (cont'd)
Tell me what's up ! I'm here to
help you!
BUFFY:
They are all dead!
CUT TO:
INT. THE BRONZE-NIGHT
Just a few metres away from Willow ,who is now talking avidly
with the Boy, Anya is sitting alone on one of the tables,
nipping at a drink. She seems a little bored and is probably
looking for another victim for her vengeance activities.
A few seconds later Willow and the Boy move away from the dancefloor and out of the Bronze. At this moment Anya sees them and because she seems to find something odd about seeing Willow with a boy ,she follows them.
EXT. THE BRONZE ALLEY -NIGHT
We see how Willow and the Boy start to kiss. Anya is just around the corner and watches them surprised.
WILLOW:
Hey want to see something Cool?
The Boy just nods.
At this moment Willow morphs into vamp face and before the boy can react she bits him .
BOY:
(screams)
What the hell are you? Get away
from me! Help.. can anyone help
me please!
Willow just tries to hold him down and is still drinking while the boy struggles for his life, after a few moments he kicks her into her leg and she howls . Luckily the boy can use this moment to escape..
Anya is still watching, truly terrified.
ANYA:
Oh my God! I have to find Buffy!
Anya teleports away while Willow is vanishes into the Bronze again
INT. SUMMERS HOUSE KITCHEN-NIGHT
We see Spike and Buffy are in Buffys house again, searching for Dawn and the other Vamps.
BUFFY:
And you are sure they will come
back here again?
SPIKE:
Well it's just a guess, but they
were all about eating you, right?
And this is the place where they
can find you..
Before Buffy can answer anything, Anya reappears next to them.
Buffy ,in full Slayer mode produces a cross and thrusts it in
Anya face. Anya moves back for a second, then moves the cross
away.
ANYA:
Hey already a demon, remember?
Can't become a vampire then!
She packs the cross away into her bag
BUFFY:
Sorry... I'm just a little off.
you know you don't get to see
your little Vamp sislet everyday.
Beat. Anya just looks at her not sure how to explain what she has seen.
BUFFY: (cont'd)
Wait you know about the vamps? I
mean about Dawn and...
ANYA:
No not Dawn.. Willow !I saw her
attacking a boy .. I mean I was
at first a bit surprised, cause
seeing her with a boy doesn't fit
in the whole "Hey, I'm gay now
thing," you know, but then I saw
how she sucked him nearly dry.. I
mean I knew she was evil but a
vampire? How could she sink that
low..
BUFFY:
What she attacked a boy? Oh my
god that's my fault! I should
have killed her immediately!
Soon she will kill anybody and
then I'm also a murderer, its
just I can't.. I mean she is my
Friend after all...
She looks sad and her gaze moves down to the floor.
BUFFY: (cont'd)
And I have to kill Dawn and
Xander, too.. and.
(regains herself)
I'm OK ! I can do that! I'm the
slayer! And that's what the
Slayer does!
With that she walks upstairs leaving a stunned Spike and Anya behind her. They look at each other shortly then follow her!
INT. BUFFYS HOUSE DAWNS ROOM
Buffy is standing in Dawns room , and Spike and Anya enter
BUFFY:
Spike you were wrong! They are
not here!
Spike wants to say something but before he can answer she continues
BUFFY: (cont'd)
I'm going to call Giles ... he
needs to know.
INT. SUMMERS HOUSE KITCHEN
Buffy is standing right before the phone , just staring at it.
After a few seconds she reluctantly picks it up and dials the
number.
The call goes through immediately
BUFFY:
(weak)
Hello this is Buffy Summers , can
I speak to Mr. Giles please?
The guy at the end of the line answers but we can't hear him
BUFFY: (cont'd)
Yes please its really important.
Yes OK I will wait!
While Buffy waits if the guy at the other reaches Giles , she nervously drums her fingers on the table, its clear that she is truly desperate
After a few moments
BUFFY:
Giles? Oh my god! I'm so glad to
hear you..
INTERCUT-GILES WATCHERS HEADQUARTERS ENGLAND/BUFFY IN THE SUMMERS KITCHEN
Giles immediately senses that something is wrong
GILES:
Hello Buffy! Is everything
alright? You sound like something
is wrong. How are you guys over
there?
Buffy hesitates.
BUFFY:
Its.. Xander and the others ,
they are
(pauses)
they are vampires and I don't
know what to do anymore! Please I
can't kill them ..I..
GILES:
Bloody hell!
We see that Giles is truly upset about the news and needs to sit
GILES: (cont'd)
Buffy ,what has happened?
BUFFY:
(sounding weak)
I don't even know, I was on
patrol and I suddenly heard
someone screaming and then I saw
it was Vamp Willow attacking a
woman and .
(Pauses)
And then I ran home and Dawn was
turned ,too and Xander.. Please
Giles there has to be another
way! I can't kill them .. I
couldn't bear Willow turning
against us , but all of them?
Giles I can't kill my whole
family .. they are everything I
have left..
Buffy is crying desperately now.
Giles says nothing and tries to take that in, but his face shows true shock.
BUFFY: (cont'd)
Giles ? Giles? Please say
something!
After a few moments Giles reacts again
GILES:
There might be.. Buffy how much
time has passed since they have
been turned?
BUFFY:
About 2 hours , why?
Giles is still hesitating , but he decides to tell her
GILES:
There is.. there might be spell ,
it can be performed until 5 hours
after someone was turned , but
there is no guarantee, only about
30 become human again and even
if , it has dire consequences
BUFFY:
I'm willing to accept every small
chance and..
GILES:
(interrupting her)
Buffy , even when the spell goes
right , they won't be the same ,
they will be not able to move a
single muscle again , they won't
be able to speak . It would be
like being alive in dead body
with no chance to ever regain the
control over it!
Buffy swallows hard.
BUFFY:
Giles , I will find a way .
somehow.. I must! I just can't
kill my family ! I had to send
Angel to hell and to fight
against Willow, but this...
Please tell me what do I need for
it!
Then after a moment it clicks in
BUFFY: (cont'd)
Wait, how do you know without
doing research?
GILES:
I just... I looked it up when I
found out that you where together
with Angel. Just in case he.. I
was not sure if I would have been
able to kill you and the chances
to succeed are higher when a
slayer..
He stops talking.
BUFFY:
Its OK , I understand. Please
tell me what do I need for the
spell I don't have much time..
We see Spike lurking through the door while Buffy tries to grab
a pen and a piece of paper, to write the instructions down,
which Giles gives her. After watching her a moment he goes into
the living room again.
INT. SUMMERS HOUSE -LIVING ROOM
Anya is sitting on the couch waiting for Buffy who is still talking to Giles on the phone. Spike comes in from looking after Buffy in the kitchen.
ANYA:
Is she still talking to Giles?
SPIKE:
Yeah. She is, they are trying to
find a way around the killing ,
but I know there is no way around
that. We all know that ,right?
Anya nods and at this moment Buffy comes in.
BUFFY:
We found another way! Giles found
a spell, the chances are slim but
its better then nothing! And..
ANYA:
Are you really sure you want to
do that? Giles told you about the
consequences , right?
I used to do that to people ,when
they had done the worst betrayals
to another person and you want
to do it to your friends and your
sister?
BUFFY:
Yes he told me! And you knew
about that chance and you didn't
tell me? It means that I don't
have to kill them and that's all
what counts
SPIKE:
Wait before you all decide here
without me... what are the
consequences of the spell?
ANYA:
They will be more dead then
alive, they won't be able to move
or to even think and ..
Before Anya can go on Spike shakes his head..
SPIKE:
There is no way I'll do that to
Niblet and you know that! They
are dead Buffy and now you have
to be strong enough to give them
the peace they deserve!
Buffys glares at him angrily
BUFFY:
Spike I won't kill my friends if
there is no need for it!
They both stare at each other, both heated up.
SPIKE:
I'm leaving! I'm not helping you
with this! And I hope you'll get
your senses back soon! You don't
even know what you are talking
about! They will be caged in
their own bodies!
With that he grabs his coat and runs outside . Buffy stares after him and screams
BUFFY:
Fine! I don't need your help! I
won't kill them if there is still
a chance ,
( a little more silent)
and I'll find a way to get them
their life back! I promise.
Then she turns around to face Anya who is still standing behind her , without saying anything. Now the tears glimmer in her eyes again
BUFFY:
( broken)
But you will help me ,OK? You
don't want Xander to die! I know
that ! Please help me! I.. I
can't do this alone!
Anya hesitates a while but then she nods. Buffy takes a deep breath.
BUFFY:
Thank you! That's the list with
ingredients we need for the
spell, can you get them from the
magic box? I will stay here and
will look for their personal
things that we need for the
spell!
ANYA:
Yeah, OK , but I don't know if we
will have them all in stock , you
know after the disaster with
Willow! But I'll try!
Buffy nods and a few seconds later she teleports to the magic box, while Buffy also starts to prepare for the spell
END OF ACT 1
ACT 2
EXT. SUNNYDALE CEMENTARY - A LITTLE LATER
We see Spike storming towards his crypt , he still seems angry and it takes a few seconds to notice the vampire who is hiding in the shadows by the crypt. As he moves towards it , the vamp steps out of the shadows : its Vamp Xander !
Vamp Xander has still the wound he gained in the fight with Buffy , but although its still slowly bleeding, it seems not to bother him
SPIKE:
So you are here to annoy the hell
out of me? Give me a reason why I
shouldn't kill you immediately!
He grabs Xander by his shirt, yanking him towards him and looks around for something to use as a stake
Xander just looks at him , not moving a single muscle in his face
SPIKE:
(sighs)
Good . Okay you can come in! But
only cause I still care for the
slayer , don't even try to annoy
me or you will be staked in less
then a second!
Still angry, he throws Xander towards the crypt and Xander walks in.
SPIKE:
(cursing under his breath)
Bloody Hell! I'm so going to
regret this! Having the whelp
around is bad enough but the
whelp as a vampire? Damn that's
gonna kill me!
With that he shuts the door to his crypt
INT. SPIKES CRYPT-NIGHT
Xander seems to have lost all his fear and makes himself home in front of Spikes TV , while Spike just shakes his head about him.
SPIKE:
( sarcastically)
Does the dear majesty want some
blood for his entertainment?
Xander just nods which nearly causes Spike to jump on him. But just a few inches in front of him he catches himself and walks over to the freezer to get him some blood.
SPIKE:
(muttering)
Guess its better then you going
on the hunt and killing people.
Slayer is upset enough already.
Sighing he gets the blood out and pours it into two glasses ,
then walks over to Xander and gives him one and Xander
immediately begins to drink
SPIKE:
Now you will get the absolutely
tasteful flavour of pigs blood
honey! Sorry its that distasteful
but I'm still disabled you know?
Points to his head, where his chip his.
SPIKE : (cont'd)
Hm guess you going out for
hunting wouldn't be such a bad
thought after all!
He watches Xander who is still gulping the blood down like mad
SPIKE: (cont'd)
Well or not! At least you seem to
like it! Never saw any Vampire
drinking pigs blood that fast!
Xander now has gulped down the whole glass of liquid and tries to get out the last drops with lapping his tongue out and getting them out of the glass that way..
Spike stares at him in disbelief
SPIKE:
Now that's gross!
He hands him his glass
SPIKE: (cont'd)
Well you can also have mine!
Xander gets the glass and he gulps it down again at once.
Off Spike staring at Xander
INT. SUMMERS HOUSE - LATER
Buffy and Anya are sitting on the floor, around them there are lots of bottles and some other things with magic stuff. Between them there is a a little bowl with herbs. Buffy is about to open one of the bottles and looks rather disgusted
BUFFY:
God, i don't know how Willow can
get used to this !
She reads the label of the bottle again
BUFFY: (cont'd)
Dried eyes of a Mangoon demon!
Can i say eww? But these here
seem not really dried ! I'm more
for killing the demon than for
playing around with their guts!
She gets three of the eyes out , they look rather sludgy then dried, disgusted she puts them into the bowl with the herbs and we can see that there is still slime on her fingers.
ANYA:
Mangoon eyes never dry
completely ! We just need to put
the ingredients and then we have
to read the spell. Shouldn't be
too difficult.
Both of them open another bottle and put the ingredients in the bowl, then they begin to read the incantation from a paper which lies before them.
ANYA/BUFFY:
Ad te magnas opes imploro,
Dare iterum anima ad vos,
discedes ad demonos , nos
obsecrant !
TRANSLATION:
We plead you big keeper of
power,give them their life again,
vanish the demon , we plead you!
The bowl begins to smoke and then the ingredients burn up with a blueish fire , which then vanishes completely . (CGI) Buffy and Anya continue the incantation and we can see that its really difficult and exhausting for them
Three red lights emerge from the bowl and dance around them,
then they fly out of the window.(CGI)
Buffy and Anya sink exhausted on the floor
BUFFY:
Do you think it worked? I feel
like i have been run over by a
train!
ANYA:
We have to search for Xander and
the others to see it! But i think
it should have...oh
(she stammers)
Oh my god!
Truly terrified of the sight she is seeing above her , Anya jumps up and immediately backs away from the intruders
Now Buffy sees them ,too. Vamp Dawn and Vamp Willow are standing right before her
VAMP WILLOW:
You called for us?
BUFFY:
OK no searching needed.. Guess
you don't belong to the 30
that make it !
She frantically she searches around for a stake or something
else to fight them, but there is nothing in reach of her ,
except the bottles of the spell
BUFFY:
So.. how is the life as a
vampire? Looks like you had lots
of fun and.. ehh lots of snacks!
She points over to Vamp Dawn who still has some dried blood on her mouth
VAMP DAWN:
Lots of fun .. and now we are
going to have some snack fun
with you!
But before the Vampires can jump on them ,Buffy grabs the bottle with the Mangoon eyes and throws them into the vampires faces
BUFFY:
If you want us for main course
you have to do the aperitif
first!
While Vamp Willow and Vamp Dawn try to get rid of the slimy Mangoon eyes , Buffy and Anya run past them to get something to fight against them.
They run into Buffys room to get some weapons .
BUFFY: (cont'd)
The spell didn't work .. Maybe
Spike was right we shouldn't have
tried it! Well no time for regret
, lets kick their asses!
She hands Anya an axe and a stake and grabs herself one,
although she tries to look confident it doesn't really work
They run back into Willows room where they performed the spell ,
but as they look around the vamps are gone
It takes them a few beats to notice the open window
BUFFY:
They are gone! I can't believe
it, they are playing around with
us!
Buffy lets her stake sink down and sits on the bed
BUFFY: (cont'd)
God i still feel knocked down! In
this state i might be no match
for them!
ANYA:
It will take you some time,
because you are not used to doing
magic, but with your slayer
strength you will be alright
soon! Maybe we should find Spike
, he could help us, as long as
you are weak.
Buffy just nods and slowly arises from the bed .They go to search for Spike
INT. SPIKES CRYPT-NIGHT
We see that Xander is still in Spike Crypt , sitting in front of the TV watching Passions with Spike. They seem to have bonded together and look like they are (Vamp) friends having a nice night together.
EXT. CEMENTARY -THE SAME TIME
Buffy and Anya are both on the way to Spikes crypt . They don't talk much ,both are lost in thoughts and after a few moments Spike crypt comes at sight
Neither of them notices the three shadowy figures following them , as they go into the crypt, we reveal two of them as Vamp Dawn and Willow , but the third remains hidden far away from them
VAMP WILLOW: Come on Dawnie lets play kill the slayer!
They both hurry to the crypt
INT. SPIKES CRYPT-NIGHT
Buffy and Anya enter the crypt and Spike and Vamp Xander immediately look up
BUFFY:
Spike i need your help, I ..
She notices Vamp Xander and gets her stake ready
Vamp Xander jumps up and glares angrily at Spike
VAMP XANDER:
( growling)
Buffy!
But before Buffy can attack him she gets grabbed from behind ,its Vamp Willow . Immediately the begin to fight
While Anya attacks Vamp Xander with a stake , Spike grabs Vamp Dawn and gets her in his hold. He looks at her with total regret , grabbing a stake which lies on a table near him, while she struggles to get free.
SPIKE:
I'm sorry!
VAMP DAWN:
For what ? For being a little
baby vamp , dependent on the
slayer? Awww poor Spike! We could
have so much fun together! Come
on get on our side!
Spike looks like he is considering it for a moment , at least he could act like a normal Vampire again without running behind some love who will never love him back. But then he shakes his head
SPIKE:
No , I'm sorry for letting you
down and for failing to protect
you ! I should have prevented
this , i have sworn to protect
you!
His face truly shows that he doesn't want to do this , but he raises the stake, aiming for Dawns unbeating heart.
But before he can plunge the stake down, Dawn uses the second of Spikes regret and kicks him in the groin . Spike loosens his grab on her and she gets free and runs to the door of the crypt
VAMP DAWN:
Come on Spikey , try to catch me
!
With that she runs out of the crypt and Spike follows her
Willow and Buffy are still fighting and its seems like nobody of them is stronger then the other one . Buffy is still weak from the after effects of the spell and Vamp Willow manages to throw a few good punches at her . She begins to struggle and with the next punch she falls on the floor , clearly feeling dizzy
VAMP WILLOW:
Oh come on Buff , why don't you
give up? I promise to make it
quick ! Life as a Vampire isn't
as bad at all , you'll see!
Just as she is about to bite Buffy , who is still lying on the someone hits her hard from behind so that she flies off Buffy...it is Anya
Just as Buffy manages to get up to face Willow again , she turns around to face Vamp Xander and sees that he is fleeing out of the crypt
ANYA:
Oh what a coward!
She turns to Buffy who is facing Willow again
ANYA: (cont'd)
But that's typical about men,
right? If its gets tough they run
away!
BUFFY:
Get .. after .. him!
Buffy talks between the punches she sets at Vamp Willow and Anya looses no time and teleports to get behind Vamp Xander
BUFFY:
( shouts after her)
Kill him!
Off the fight
CUT TO:
INT. THE VAMPIRES LAIR-NIGHT
ANGLE ON one of THE VAMPIRES we saw before near Buffys house,
as we now move away, we reveal that he is in a lair , where he
and his vampire friends seem to hide.
Now we see three other vampires sitting next to him and near him, standing is the vampire which we now reveal as THE MASTER of the pack.
In the middle of the room we see an orb standing on what seems like a little altar. It is glowing bright red , but it seems unstable , like its not going to glow like that forever.(CGI)
Suddenly one of the minions moves to the orb and wants to touch it.. The leader immediately tears him away before he is able to
MASTER VAMPIRE:
Don't dare to touch it or I'll
shred you to pieces!
The minion moves away, clearly afraid of his Master.
MASTER VAMPIRE: (cont'd)
The effect of the orb won't last
very long anyway and if some of
you idiots are going to disturb
it ,it would be even shorter.
He turns around to face his minions
MASTER VAMPIRE: (cont'd)
We need the Slayer to believe
that her friends are vampires.
as long as some parts of the
spirits of her friends will be in
the orb,replaced with a temporary
demon, she will try to kill these
so called monsters... and when
she finally finds out what
happened she will be destroyed.
( laughs evilly)
Then we'll come and rip her apart
and we will rule Sunnydale.
Off the evil laughter of the Vampires
END OF ACT 2
ACT 3
EXT. SUNNYDALE CEMENTARY - NIGHT
We see Vamp Xander running through the cementary , just as Anya reappears in front of him.
ANYA:
Geez running away won't help you!
You know that!
Vamp Xander isn't listening to her, even when he knows that he has no chance to escape , he still tries to run away . Anya follows him slowly , always a few steps behind him.
Vamp Xander looks around to find something where he could hide .
He is fully in panic. After a few beats he spots a crypt , runs
there as fast as he can to it and throws himself against the
door. He is lucky and the door opens and he manages to get it
closed again as good as this is possible.
Anya has stopped and is watching him.
INT. CRYPT - SAME TIME
Xander is still in panic and tries to secure the door with some coffins which are standing in the crypt
EXT. SUNNYDALE CEMENTARY - NIGHT
Anya is still watching the door. After a few beats she sighs and shakes head. Then she vanishes.
INT. CRYPT - SAME TIME
Vamp Xander is still putting anything he can find against the
door ,to secure it, just as Anya reappears behind him.
Immediately he turns around to face her.
ANYA:
Geez ,you haven't always been
the most intelligent have you?
Guess being dead and all craving
for blood doesn't change that.
Vamp Xander just stares at her
ANYA: (cont'd)
Hello! Haven't you noticed?
Vengeance demon here! Can
teleport whereever i want to!
Doors and coffins don't stop me!
A small Beat.
ANYA: (cont'd)
You didn't really think you could
escape me, right?
She sighs and produces her stake from the pocket.
ANYA: (cont'd)
I'm sorry Xander .. you know! It
could have been so wonderful if
you wouldn't have run away , we
could have been together , have
kids and live happily ever after
! It could have been so
wonderful. But you..
Her voice breaks .She gets a few steps nearer to him, while Vamp Xander tries to get away until he is stopped by the wall of the crypt .
She corners him there so that there is now way out for him and gets her stake ready.
Vamp Xander just stares at her and morphs back into his human face which we haven't seen for a long time, knowing that he is about to face death, when she raises the stake. But then..
VAMP XANDER:
(small)
I love you!
A long beat. Anya reacts. Tears form in her eyes and she hesitates to bring the stake down.
VAMP XANDER: (cont'd)
(stumbling)
I... i mean it, i really love
you!
Anya says nothing. Then she moves towards Xander and kisses him.
At first Xander reacts a little shocked , but then he kisses her
back.
They kiss for a few seconds and we see how Anya clutches her stake in her hands, behind her back.
They stop kissing and Anya slowly moves away from him, never losing eye contact. As she stands straight again , she raises the stake and is about to plunge it in Xanders heart as...
ANYA:
Oh my god, you ... you
A small beat.
ANYA: (cont'd)
You still have your soul!
Before Xander can react to this , she knocks him out. She stares at Xander as it sinks in...
ANYA: (cont'd)
Oh my god.. Buffy!
With that she vanishes,leaving the unconscious Xander alone in the crypt
INT. SPIKES CRYPT-NIGHT
Vamp Willow and Buffy are still fighting. But now it seems that the Slayer Senses of Buffy are slowly kicking in and Willow is clearly about to loose
Now Anya appears and immediately jumps between them
ANYA:
Stop! She ...
Buffy looks confused , while Anya throws Vamp Willow a long ,intense look - just to be sure
ANYA: (cont'd)
Stop! You don't have to kill her!
She .. She still has a soul!
Buffy reacts , clearly not sure if she should believe this
BUFFY:
What? I mean ... are you sure?
Anya nods and before Vamp Willow can do anything , both of them literally jump on and capture her.
It takes a few moments but then she is well tied and barely able to move
BUFFY:
Oh my god .. we have to save
Dawn! Spike is..
She swallows hard. Anya is already about to move
ANYA:
Don't worry if she still has a
soul , i should be able to find
her!
Before Buffy can say anything , she is gone
Off Buffy nervously pacing around the crypt, watching Vamp Willow , who growls at her..
EXT. SUNNYDALE STREET -THE SAME TIME
Spike is still following Vamp Dawn , they are somewhere on a street in Sunnydale now, which is completely deserted , cause its already too late for humans to be a on the street.
Dawn is still playing around with him and Spike looks already nerve wrecked
SPIKE:
( serious)
Come on ,pet ,you know i won't
give up! You only try to put it
off , but it won't help. There's
only the two of us and i won't be
going until you find peace.
He grabs his stake again , cause Dawn has stopped now and is watching him .
SPIKE: (cont'd)
See that's the right way... now
just stay there and i promise to
make it quick!
Spike gets closer and closer to him and when he is just a few steps away from her as..
Anya appears behind her
ANYA:
Hey Dawnie!
As Dawn turns around she.. Bang! Knocks her unconscious.
Spike stares at this scene rather unbelievingly and he is shaking his head
SPIKE:
Wow didn't know you had it in ya
, pet! So we dust her now?
He looks uncomfortable again,its still clear that he doesn't like it
Anya immediately jumps in front of Dawn
ANYA:
No no! There will be no staking!
She still has a soul!
Spike looks surprised and takes that in
ANYA: (cont'd)
You should have noticed it! You
are a vampire too! You can sense
it!
Spike looks down to the ground
SPIKE:
I .. I couldn't look into her
eyes.. I ..
He looks at her again and Anya just nods at him, understanding,
but then she takes a few steps back , still staring at him
ANYA:
Oh my god! You .. You have soul!
You ... what the hell did you do?
Off Anyas face
INT. SPIKES CRYPT-NIGHT
Buffy is still waiting for a sign or anything from Anya, she is slowly getting nervous
VAMP WILLOW:
Oh come on whiny slayer! They are
all dead .. You know that.
BUFFY:
Shut up!
VAMP WILLOW:
Aww poor Slayer is getting all
cranky ... come here and free me
and I'm going to make it all nice
and bloody.
Buffy has enough of this , she grabs a T shirt from spike nearby and gags Vamp Willow with it
BUFFY:
I said shut up!
Vamp willow tries to protest , but to no effort as we hear suddenly something from outside
Buffy immediately ignores Vamp Willow and runs to the door
BUFFY:
Anya?... Spike?
No answer but we see a shadowy figure , which is trying to get behind the bushes again from BUFFYS POV.
BUFFY:
(to herself)
Vampire!
Immediately she grabs her stake and she runs to get him.
EXT.SUNNYDALE CEMENTARY -NIGHT
Where we left of..
At first the vampire tries to remain hidden , but as he realizes that she has seen him he runs from his hideout.
It doesn't take long and Buffy is near him and brings him to the ground . Now we notice its one of the Vampires which we saw in front of Buffys house.
Buffy raises her stake already as
VAMP:
Please... please don't kill me !
Buffy is truly unnerved
BUFFY:
Geez can't any of your nightly
creatures tell me something new?
VAMP:
I was only here to watch and not
to harm anyone!
BUFFY:
Yeah right and I'm only here to
love Vampires and not to kill...
A small beat as she realizes what she just said
BUFFY: (cont'd)
That came out totally wrong. Wait
you said you were here to watch
me?
Buffy realizes that he might have a connection with what happened to Willow and the others
BUFFY: (cont'd)
Guess we gonna have a serious
talk now! What the hell did you
do to my friends!
EXT. CEMENTARY GATE - NIGHT
Spike is carrying Vamp Dawn who is still unconscious. Anya is walking next to him , still clearly excited about she just found out
ANYA:
So what the hell did you do to
get a soul? Buffy has to know!
Spike growls at her and sets Vamp Dawn carefully down on the floor ,only to jump on Anya a few moments later
SPIKE:
I said i don't want to talk about
it! And leave Buffy out of this!
This is none of her business!
Anya struggles a while until Spike releases her from his hold
ANYA:
So you did it for her , right?
Spike growls at her again
SPIKE:
Bloody hell! I don't want to talk
about it ! So. shut. up!
Before he can jump on her again Anya nods
ANYA:
OK ..OK i won't say anything to
her! Satisfied now?
( more to herself)
And guess i was right you did it
for her!
Spike has clearly heard that but he says nothing and picks Vamp Dawn up again
SPIKE:
Lets go and find Buffy! Little
tooth here will be awake soon!
They walk further to Spikes Crypt. After a few beats they discover Buffy who is still sitting on the Vamp trying to get an answer from him
BUFFY:
Tell me who your Master is!
Buffy punches the Vamp right in the face , but he still won't tell anything
VAMP:
I can't cause my Master is going
to kill me, if i tell the Slayer
anything .
Buffy sighs and aims her stake at his heart
BUFFY:
Yeah right and Newsflash : I'm
going to kill you in an instant
if you don't tell me anything!
Just at the Moment Anya and Spike arrive with Vamp Dawn
SPIKE:
Have problems pet?
BUFFY:
Yeah ... sometimes i think the
brain must be situated in the
soul... they can't be that dumb ,
can they?
She looks at the Vampire again
BUFFY: (cont'd)
Back to you! Open your mouth or
going to feel Mr. Pointy here!
Spike has put Dawn onto the grass and is walking to Buffy
SPIKE:
Let me deal with him, Slayer!
But before he can do anything , we recognize the Dawn has woken up and is trying to get away
SPIKE:
Hey! No running away!
He rushes after her and after a few metres he catches her .
Buffy gets up slowly , never leaving the Vampire out of her grab
BUFFY:
I think its the best when we go
home and try to secure the three
before they can do anymore harm!
Spike and Anya are the same meaning
ANYA:
Wait , I'm going to get Xander!
INT. SUMMERS HOUSE - CORRIDOR
ANGLE ON THE DOOR, which opens after a small beat and Buffy comes in , tearing a struggling Willow behind her.
A few metres behind her Anya enters with an unconscious Xander on her arms while Spike follows leading Vamp Dawn and The Vamp before him, both have tied hands.
BUFFY:
Get him into the kitchen, we are
going to...
She stops as she realizes that Spike can't get the Vamp in,
because he has no invitation
BUFFY:
That's strange why can the three
get in without an invitation?
( to the Vamp)
Come in!
Now the Vampire can be lead in by Spike
BUFFY:
There's definitely something
wrong here!
With that she drags Willow into the Living room
INT. BUFFYS HOUSE - LATER
Buffy , Anya and Spike are standing in the Summers living room.
Vamp Dawn, Xander and Willow are bound to some chairs and pretty
much gagged.
Buffy still looks really concerned.
BUFFY:
The spell didn't work! And now
they have souls! I'm mean they
can't be real Vampires , they
even can get in here without an
invitation! I honestly don't know
what to do now ...
Spike just glares at her still not happy that she did the spell
BUFFY: (cont'd)
I mean they don't act all .
well ..souly !
At this moment Vamp Willow tries to free herself and tears wildly on her ties
BUFFY: (cont'd)
See!
She looks at the ties again , just to be secure
SPIKE:
Pet, a soul does not always make
a difference. You know that !
BUFFY:
Yeah i know . But there must be a
way how we could help them. Guess
we are have an appointment with
our little guest.
INT. SUMMERS KITCHEN -NIGHT
They walk into the Kitchen where the Vamp is tied to a chair
BUFFY:
Now you are going to talk or this
is going to get real ugly!
The vamp just stares at her saying nothing, sighing Spike grabs a knife
SPIKE:
Ever had a knife in your eye? It
doesn't kill you but it hurts
like mad.
Now the Vamp is clearly afraid
VAMP:
Okay .. Okay I'm going to talk .
Please don't hurt me!
SPIKE:
(To Buffy)
See! That's how it works!
Buffy throws Spike a look but then gets her interest at the Vamp again
BUFFY:
So what did you do to my friends?
VAMP:
We did a spell , you were
supposed to think you friends are
vampires ! We wanted you to kill
your friends and ...
BUFFY:
(Now really angry)
Who is we ?
She jumps on him
VAMP:
My Master and his minions, we are
destined to rule Sunnydale and..
Buffy roles her eyes and Spike and Anya grin
BUFFY:
If i got a Penny every time i
heard this phrase.. well tell us
where your lair is and I'll let
you free!
Spike and Anya look at her, while the Vamp looks insecure and even a little bit surprised
VAMP:
We.. Our lair is in the old
factory on South Street. But now
you'll let me free,right?
Buffy nods and loosens the Vampires ropes , which he had on his hands and feet
Clearly happy ,the Vampire stands up and walks to Kitchen door,
still not sure if this is real . Spike and Anya watch this scene
unbelievingly , but Buffy makes not effort to stop him
So the Vampire is able to open the door and gets outside as
Buffy produces a crossbow and shoots him right in the heart ,
so that he is dusted before he can get any further
SPIKE:
What the hell?
BUFFY:
Just didn't want to clean the
kitchen again! Did that already
yesterday!
While Spike is laughing slightly and shaking his head, Buffy closes the back-door and locks it
BUFFY:
OK off to South street lets kick
their asses ! Noone is going to
mess with me like that!
Off the three preparing for the fight
END OF ACT 3
ACT 4
INT. VAMPIRES LAIR - NIGHT
We see the Master Vampire standing near the glowing orb, which is now glowing only slightly red.(CGI)
One of his Minions is standing next to him. They are both glaring at the orb
MASTER VAMPIRE:
Its going to end soon ... she
has to kill her friends very
quickly now , otherwise the orb
would be no use! Still no sign of
the minion I sent out to watch
the Slayer?
MINION:
No High Master ... I'm sorry!
Thought he should have been back
by now ! I'll send another one
out as soon as possible high
Master!
The master Vampire just nods his head at him and the Minion
hurries away to send a Vampire out, but he doesn't come far,
because at this moment we hear a big Bang! And Buffy stands in
the door of the factory cellar
BUFFY:
Well what a nice slumber party !
And I haven't been invited , what
a shame!
A few of the Minions run directly towards her to protect the crypt ,but they stand no real chance cause Buffy dusts one of them pretty easily
BUFFY:
Well not that I would have liked
to come ... not with the
Bloodlust and all!
We see her dust the next Minion and Anya and Spike appear behind her in the door. Now the Master Vampire comes into her sight
Spike and Anya immediately jump onto the Minions , from whom there are about 9 of them left and begin to fight
Buffy fights shortly with another Minion and dusts him after a
few beats . While Spike and Anya are still fighting the Minions,
she slowly gets nearer to the Master Vampire , who is still
standing on the other side of the room.
BUFFY:
So i guess you are the one
responsible for all that crap!
She gets her stake ready and attacks him right away and they begin to fight
While the Minions were easy to fight, Buffy obviously has more problems to fight the Master Vampire.
She manages to throw a few good punches at him ,but then it seems like he is getting the overhand and he manages to throw her to the floor, while her stake scatters away
We see that Anya and Spike are still fighting 4 of the minions and they can not help her and now the Master Vampire gets her into his grip
MASTER VAMPIRE:
Now you are not so cool anymore,
huh? If i would have known that i
never needed that spell...
BUFFY:
Noone messes with my friends!
MASTER VAMPIRE:
Yeah right ... like you could do
so much to hurt me now! I'll
break your neck in an instant and
stop your whining!
Buffy is still in his grip , but she rolls her eyes
MASTER VAMPIRE:
Hey that was meant seriou...
He doesn't get any further , cause Buffy produces a stake, which she had hidden in her left Boot and stakes him
We see his surprised face as he becomes dust
BUFFY:
(sighs)
Master Vampires used to be at
least a bit more intelligent then
their Minions! Guess you can't
even expect this these days!
We see how she watches Spike dealing with his last minion. She shows no intention of interfering.
Anya is standing next to the fight , clearly bored. As she has had enough she stakes the Vampire from behind , leaving Spike rather disappointed
SPIKE:
Hey .. that was my minion , i was
supposed to kill him!
ANYA:
Yeah but we didn't say that we
take long on purpose! Time is
running out! We need to resolve
the spell they did you bullock!
A beat.
ANYA: (cont'd)
There have to be some things of
the spell here somewhere! Maybe
an orb or something which holds
the missing parts of their
spirits.
While Spike is still glaring at Anya , Buffy spots the GLOWING
ORB in the corner of the room. Its still glowing slightly red ,
but we can hardly see it anymore. (CGI)
BUFFY:
OK i think we found where the
parts of their spirits are
supposed to be! What should i do
with them?
ANYA:
Destroy it , so that their
spirits can be free!
BUFFY:
Well that is easy ! I would have
thought it would involve slimy
demon eyes again!
With that she kicks the orb angrily at the wall, so that it
shatters into pieces. Shortly after that we see 3 glowing LIGHTS
emerging from the left splinters. They immediately fly away,
leaving the room (CGI)
INT.BUFFYS HOUSE LIVING ROOM-NIGHT
Buffy, Anya and Spike are back at Buffys house. They are freeing Xander, Dawn and Willow, who are still unconscious, from their ties.
Carefully they lie Dawn and Willow on the couch and Anya tries to make Xander more comfortable by laying him onto an armchair and putting him under a blanket.
While Buffy and Spike get seated , Anya remains at Xanders side, carefully touching his wounded eye where she knocked him out.
BUFFY:
He is going to have a black eye
tomorrow.
Anya looks shortly at Buffy and nods slightly then she starts to bandage Xander´s hurt shoulder, with the bandages Spike reaches her
BUFFY: (cont'd)
You still love him... right? I'm
sure he also does ...
ANYA:
(interrupting her)
He should have gone to hell ! I
mean he deserved it! He should
have his heart ripped out and
should suffer for eternity and...
Buffy just glares at her without saying anything
ANYA: (cont'd)
Well that's the way it should be.
Small beat.
ANYA: (cont'd)
I mean i... i can't understand
all this. Normally i should be
all about vengeance and doing
everything to punish him. But
when i saw him .. So near at
death, my heart felt like it was
going to break into thousand
pieces. And now I'm not sure if i
should hate him for doing this to
me ...or if i should be glad that
he is alive ! I don't know what
I'm feeling right now!
BUFFY:
(smiling)
I have a name for that feeling!
Its called love!
ANYA:
I guess..
BUFFY:
You know love means also to
forgive. If you love someone you
can forgive him a lot... even if
the someone sends you to hell...
Small beat.
BUFFY: (cont'd)
Literally.
While Spike flashes a quick grin, Anya kisses Xander on the head and stands up
ANYA:
You are right maybe I'm still in
love with him.. but don't tell
him. I just want .. myself...
Buffy nods , clearly understanding that Anya still needs some time.
A small beat, then...
BUFFY:
I'm going to call Giles . I need
to know if they will recover
fully from the spell. Can you two
keep an eye on them?
SPIKE:
Go and call the old tweedy man!
Anya and me are going to stay
here!
He looks at Dawn
SPIKE: (cont'd)
Can't leave Niblet alone when she
is like this... at least it was
also partly my fault!
With that Buffy leaves the room to get on the phone
INT. BUFFYS HOUSE LIVING ROOM-DAY
We see Buffy , Willow and Dawn sitting on the couch , while Xander and Anya sit on the chairs nearby. Dawn still looks pretty shocked while Xander seems to have regained himself.
Xander has a black eye and his shoulder is bandaged. Dawn and Willow look more or less healthy but they also gained a few scratches and blue stains which we can see
BUFFY:
Giles said that you all will be
OK , there will be no long term
effects of the spell so we don't
have to worry about that. As for
the amnesia , its, like the spell
was, only temporary and in a few
days you will all remember what
you did.
DAWN:
So I will remember that I drank
blood? Ewww!
Buffy just nods.
DAWN:
I mean ,You aren't sure that it
was just ketchup or something ?
Cause ewwww I still can't imagine
that I ewwwww.
(she shudders)
god that is nuts!
BUFFY:
Yeah you all drank blood it was
pretty gross. Xander you even
drank pigs blood with Spike , you
even licked the glass for the
last drop and..
Xander does look as he is about to puke
XANDER:
Can you just stop it now? Way too
graphic here! I just want to
pretend it never happened OK?
Cause ewww
Anya and Buffy are laughing while they other three just glare at them.
DAWN:
No that's not funny! I'm also
with Xander , it never happened,
okay?
BUFFY:
I am sorry but you will remember
soon, there is no way around
that.
Well, we should be just glad that
it ended that well ! Anya I still
wouldn't know what I would have
done without you! But honestly I
didn't know that vengeance demons
could detect souls.
(more to herself then to the
others)
Well you Never stop learning!
ANYA:
Hm, it was nothing big. Its just
something every vengeance demon
can do, cause hey somehow we have
to find the poor suffering souls
which have been trampled down by
the bad men
She glares at Xander who says nothing to this.
ANYA: (cont'd)
Well and as I was just about to
kill Xander when..
Now Xander reacts.
XANDER:
Hello sitting right here!
ANYA:
Yeah right! But I'm not sorry for
the black eye.
XANDER:
Yeah and you also like to play
lets poke Xander with a stick!
ANYA:
No that was Buffy!
Xander looks at Buffy , Huh? Buffy looks down, clearly sorry
ANYA:
But you deserved...
She stops ,not really sure if she wants to say this
Xander says nothing and just glares at her. Anya hesitates for a moment but then she goes on.
ANYA: (cont'd)
Well where was I? Right I was
just about to kill Xander and
then I saw that he still had a
soul like Spike has one, and I
immediately knew something was
wrong and I went to search Buffy!
I mean if he has a soul he can't
be a bad vampire , right? And..
At this moment Willow, who has been silent all the time,
realizes what she has just said and interrupts her
WILLOW:
Spike has a what?
ANYA:
A soul! Oh I haven't told you?
My bad!
She shrugs her shoulders
ANYA: (cont'd)
Well now you know!
Buffy glares at her not sure what she should say. The others also seem stunned and try to take that in.
Off the surprised faces
