Twilight Shade:
Season 1: Episode 1: Pilot
Gabriella: What is it, Mrs. Watson?
Mrs. Watson: Your mother called the school department.
Gabriella: But why?
Mrs. Watson: You're leaving.
Gabriella: What? But what would Shane have to say about this? I mean, I'll have to tell him that I'm going.
Mrs. Watson: I don't think that it's going to be possible.
Gabriella: But-
Mrs. Watson: *Cuts her off.* He's dead, Gabs.
Gabriella: *Drops to the floor.* When?
Mrs. Watson: He died yesterday following a car accident with a drunk driver.
Gabriella: *Sheds a tear.* How?
Mrs. Watson: The drunk driver wasn't paying any attention on the road ahead of him, so he collided with Shane's car and he died overnight in hospital.
Gabriella: Is that how it happened?
Mrs. Watson: Yes.
Gabriella: I have to tell the others!
Mrs. Watson: There's no point, Gabriella. The others have already been notified on his death.
Gabriella: The have?
Mrs. Watson: Yes.
Gabriella: And was I the last person to know about this?
Mrs. Watson: Yes. And your mother believes that you are in grave danger.
Gabriella: What kind of danger?
Mrs. Watson: They're after your blood.
Gabriella: Who?
Mrs. Watson: The Vampires.
Gabriella: Oh.
Mrs. Watson: Don't worry. Your mother is sending you to a safe place.
Gabriella: And what is this safe place?
Mrs. It's called 'Prythian'.
Gabriella: Oh.
Mrs. Watson: It's a faerie realm across from the border.
Gabriella: *Faints.*
Mrs. Watson: That went well.
Gabriella: *Wakes up.* Why would she want to send me there?
Mrs. Watson: Because she wanted you to be protected from harm's way.
Gabriella: Oh, so, I don't have a choice or a way out of this?
Mrs. Watson: Of course you don't.
Gabriella: And that is why she is sending me there?
Mrs. Watson: Yes. Cause, it's the only way to keep you safe from them.
Gabriella: I can't what I'm hearing.
Mrs. Watson: It's a lot to take in.
Gabriella: I meant this conversation.
Mrs. Watson: If you don't believe me ask your mother and she'll tell you everything that you need to know about the faerie realm.
Gabriella: Then I will.
Mrs. Watson: The only people that will protect you are France and Lucas.
Gabriella: Are they human?
Mrs. Watson: No. They're not. They are Faeries.
Gabriella: Now your creeping me out!
Mrs. Watson: Franco and Lucas are here to take you to Prythian now.
Gabriella: *Gets up off the floor.* What?!
Mrs. Watson: They're going to take you there now.
Gabriella: Okay.
Franco: *Walks into the room.* Why do we have to take a human to our lands? Can't her mother protect Gabriella herself rather than to have us take her across the border?
Lucas: Franco, her mother doesn't have the power to protect her from certain death.
Franco: But it still doesn't give her the right to dump her on us.
Lucas: I know, but it's for the best.
Gabriella: *Runs out of the office/starts crying.*
Lucas: Look at what you did!
Franco: It's not my fault!
Lucas: It is your fault!
Franco: I know. And I'm not apologising for it.
Lucas: Now that's just cold, Franco.
Franco: And we've got to find her and get her out of here.
Lucas: Yes, we do.
Franco: Of course we do.
Lucas: *Walks away from the office/passes a couple of classrooms/spots her sitting on a step.*
Gabriella: *Gets up/starts walking away.*
Franco: *Blocks her pathway.*
Gabriella: *Tries to get pass him.*
Lucas: *Grabs her.*
Gabriella: *Struggles to get out of his grasp.* Let go of me!
Lucas: No. I'm not letting you go.
Gabriella: Please just let me go.
Lucas: No.
Franco: *Whispers to Lucas.* I suggest we knock her un-conscious.
Gabriella: *Looks between them both.* What...
Lucas: *Knocks her out.* That wasn't a bad idea.
Gabriella: *Falls to the ground.*
Franco: *Picks her up.* I guess it wasn't.
Lucas: I thought you didn't care about the human?
Franco: *Starts walking with her in his arms.* Of course I don't.
Lucas: *catches up/walks beside him.* Maybe, I should carry her.
Franco: *Stops/passes her over to him.
Lucas: Why were you carrying her in the first place if you didn't care about her at all?
Franco: Because I suggested to you to knock her un-conscious.
Lucas: I know.
Franco: *Exhales/smells a vampire.* I have... I mean, we have to get her out of here NOW!
Lucas: Why?
Franco: Because there's a vampire here.
Lucas: Let's get her out of here now. Otherwise it's going to be too late to save her life.
Franco: *Takes her from him/runs as fast as he can.*
Lucas: *Catches up to him.*
Franco: *Carries her across the border.*
Lucas: *Joins him.*
Franco: She's safe for now.
Lucas: Let's take her to Spring Court. But why?
Franco: Because the High Lord might know what to do.
Lucas: Okay.
Gabriella: *Begins to wake up.*
Franco: *Looks down at her.* She's awake.
Lucas: I know.
Franco: Are you okay?
Gabriella: I'm fine. But can I go back?
Franco: No.
Gabriella: I didn't get a chance to say goodbye to my dead boyfriend.
Franco: Gabriella, you can't go back.
Gabriella: Why?
Lucas: Because there are vampires hunting you down for your blood and we would very much like it, if you don't end up dead.
Gabriella: But I thought that you didn't like humans?
Lucas: We didn't up until the High Lord of Spring Court, by the name Caspian, sent us to the mortal lands to get you.
Gabriella: And what's going to happen now?
Franco: You stay here with us of course, so that no-one can murder you or ever hurt you again.
Gabriella: What about my mother?
Lucas: I don't know.
Gabriella: We don't... You two don't know?
Franco: Of course we don't. We don't even know if she's safe. I mean, if your mother's safe.
Gabriella: Okay. But why am I even here?
Lucas: Because we all have to protect you from being harmed.
Gabriella: Okay. Can I walk?
Lucas: No. You were just knocked out and you'll possibly feel dizzy. And I wouldn't want you to fall and hurt yourself and attract the vampires.
Gabriella: They don't know where I am.
Lucas: They will figure it out and make their way onto these lands, and try to murder you, Gabs. Your blood will be splattered all over the place, and I don't choose that. I wouldn't if I were you.
Gabriella: *Shakes her head.* Okay.
Lucas: Do you want know the reason why you were sent here to us in the first place?
Gabriella: No.
Franco: Lucas, don't ask her such questions.
Gabriella: Thanks, Franco.
Franco: Did you just thank me?
Gabriella: Yes, I did.
Franco: Wow.
Gabriella: *Falls asleep in Franco's arms.*
Lucas: Can I carry her for a bit?
Franco: No. She's fine here in my arms.
Lucas: She is?
Franco: Yes, she is.
Lucas: But I thought you hated the humans?
Franco: I did. But then I changed my thoughts about them. It might not be that bad living with a human.
Lucas: *Smiles.*
Franco: Why are you smiling?
Lucas: Because you're getting used to her.
Franco: Yes, I am.
Lucas: Are you falling in love with her?
Franco: No! Her boyfriend just passed away.
Lucas: I know.
Franco: What is it?
Lucas: *Sad.* He probably died trying to protect her.
Franco: Of course he did.
Lucas: I wonder if the vampires figured out that she left London to come to Prythian?
Franco: I think they will.
Lucas: How so?
Franco: If they sense her blood on the mortal land.
Lucas: Okay. But what would Queen Isabella of Under the Mountain have to say about this?
Franco: I don't know. Why?
Lucas: I'm just curious.
Franco: Okay.
Lucas: Did her mother say that it was her final year in her school?
Franco: I'm not sure. But I'm pretty sure that her mother was going to tell her as soon as possible.
Lucas: Her and Shane would've had a future of raising kids together.
Franco: I don't want to hear the sub story of what her future would be like. Fate has many ways.
Lucas: How so?
Franco: It can change her life forever.
Lucas: *Changes the suject.* But did he ever care for her at all?
Franco: I don't think he did, Lucas.
Lucas: Okay.
Gabriella: *Wakes up/looks up at him.*
Franco: Your alright, Gab. We're nearly at the manor.
Gabriella: Okay.
Lucas: Why did you wake up anyway?
Gabriella: Because I thought I might have heard something snap.
Franco: Okay. I think your hallucinating things, human.
Gabriella: Your right, Franco.
Lucas: *Puts a hand on Franco's shoulder/whispers into his ago.* Put her to sleep.
Franco: *Makes her faint.* Okay.
Lucas: *Glamour's her.*
Gabriella: *Falls asleep.*
Franco: That should keep her quiet.
Lucas: Your right.
High Lord Caspian: *Spots them from the dinning room/goes outside to greet them.*
Franco: Hi, Caspian.
High Lord Caspian: Did you bring her?
Lucas: Yes, we did. Franco's carrying her.
High Lord Caspian: *Looks at the sleeping mortal in Franco's arms.* Okay. Has there been any trouble at all?
Franco: No.
High Lord Caspian: I've got some grave news to tell you. But first, we must put her into her new room.
Lucas: You can tell us, High Lord.
High Lord Caspian: Her mother was killed by a vampire.
Franco: How?
High Lord Caspian: She had a dagger ran through her heart.
Lucas: We mustn't tell her.
Franco: Of course we shouldn't.
High Lord Caspian: Why don't we tell her when she wakes up?
Franco: Okay:
Gabriella: *Moves in his arms.*
High Lord Caspian: Carry her upstairs and put her to bed.
Franco: Okay. Lucas, are you coming?
High Lord Caspian: I need to have a word with him.
Franco: You do?
High Lord Caspian: Yes.
Franco: Okay.
High Lord Caspian: And Franco...
Franco: *About to leave.* What?
High Lord Caspian: Please be gentle with her.
Franco: I will be.
High Lord Caspian: I'd hate to see anything happen to our guest.
Franco: I'll be very gentle with her.
High Lord Caspian: Has she eaten anything at all?
Lucas: No, she hasn't
High Lord Caspian: She'll have to eat something when she wakes up.
Lucas: I guess she will.
Franco: She'll have to otherwise, she'll faint and we wouldn't want that to happen.
Lucas: I put all my trust in you, Franco.
High Lord Caspian: You took the words right out of my mouth.
Lucas: Oh. And after all, she is one of us now. Well a human one of us, sort of thing.
Franco: You're welcome.
High Lord Caspian: I'm glad you got to her in time to bring her here to me.
Franco: I know. But is there away to erase their memories?
High Lord Caspian: What?
Lucas: He meant the memories of her in their minds.
High Lord Caspian: Oh, that I'm not sure of. And I plan on keeping her here.
Franco: And what if Isabella, I mean, Queen Isabella of Under the Mountain, finds out that we've got a human on our lands?
Lucas: Okay. I'm sure that she will, but she will be mad.
High Lord Caspian: Don't worry, Franco. I won't let that happen.
Franco: *Carries her away towards her new bedroom.*
Gabriella: *Wakes up.*
Franco: *Walks up the stairs/looks at her.*
Gabriella: Did you really mean what you said about hating me, and my kind, Franco?
Franco: I spoke about it with Lucas, and I, no longer do.
Gabriella: How do I know that you're not lying to me?
Franco: Cause, I'm not.
Gabriella: So you just want me to go with it?
Franco: Yes.
Gabriella: Is this going to be my home?
Franco: Yes. Since you can no longer go back.
Gabriella: What's going to happen to me?
Franco: I don't know.
Gabriella: And why did you put me to sleep?
Franco: It was because we finding it hard to think.
Gabriella: Can I walk now?
Franco: Remember what I said back at the forest?
Gabriella: Yes.
Franco: And what was it that I told you?
Gabriella: You told me that you didn't want me walking in case I felt faint or dizzy.
Franco: Yes, that is what I told you, Gabs.
Gabriella: Okay.
Franco: Do you want me to stay?
Gabriella: *Lies.* No. I'll be fine.
Franco: Don't. Lie. To. Me.
Gabriella: Why are you being like this, Franco?
Franco: I need to be near you.
Gabriella: Firstly, I already had a boyfriend. Secondly, you hate me, and thirdly, I already have vampires chasing my tail, and fourthly, I don't want anyone else dying for me.
Franco: That's why nobody will. If you accept us for your own protection.
Gabriella: I accept, Franco. But eventually, I will have to go back.
Franco: But you can't.
Gabriella: Why?
Franco: You have no-body left.
Gabriella: Yes, I do. I have my mother.
Franco: Gabby-
Gabriella: *Cuts him off.* Don't Gabby me.
Franco: *Opens up her bedroom door.* You can't go back there.
Gabriella: *Sighs.* Why?
Franco: Because they'll kill you.
Gabriella: *Faints.*
Franco: *Lays her down/closes the door/stays with her.*
Gabriella: *Wakes up.* Franco?
Franco: I'm right here.
Gabriella: *Sits up.* And how would you know that their going to kill me?
Franco: Because your mother knew.
Gabriella: Oh. And is she alive? Is my mother alive?
Franco: *Silence.*
Gabriella: She's not, is she?
Franco: *Shakes his head.* No. Caspian was going to tell you himself, but he's busy talking with Lucas.
Gabriella: *Gets up/tries to walk/becomes dizzy.* Is the whole room spinning?
Franco: *Catches her.* Gabby?!
Gabriella: *Looks at him/closes her eyes.*
Franco: *Lays her under the covers/pulls the quilt over her/leaves.*
High Lord Caspian: *Spots him.*
Franco: Caspian, she definitely hasn't eaten anything at all today.
High Lord Caspian: What?
Franco: She fainted on me two times.
High Lord Caspian: Lucas, could you wait here for a second?
Lucas: Yes.
High Lord Caspian: *Rushes off with him/checks for any demons/goes up the stairs/enters Gabriella's room.*
Franco: Is she okay?
High Lord Caspian: *Checks her temperature/picks her up.* She looks really pale, Franco.
Franco: How?
High Lord Caspian: Because she's got a raging fever.
Franco: She has?
High Lord Caspian: Yes. But if we hurry up, she'll soon be just fine once she's eaten.
Franco: True dat. Should I carry her?
High Lord Caspian: Sure.
