HIGH SCHOOL (at night)
Allison : (laughing) hey wait I think I forgot some of my books on the bus.
They enter in the school bus.
Scarlett : Come on... Do you want your books or not? It's not even that dark in there.
She sits on a seat, While Alison searches the buss for her books. Scarlett stands up and joins her. She starts to shift, so she backs up.
Allison : What's wrong ?
Scarlett : Get away...
Allison : Scarlett... Scarlett !
Scarlett : Get away from me.
She turns around, Allison sees her face. She starts to run but Scarlett catches her leg and makes her fall. She screams and tries to escape but she's trapped in the bus.
HIGH SCHOOL (in the morning)
Stiles and Scarlett enter the school.
Stiles : have youo figured out how your going to control your blood lust yet? Like a class or a teacher...
Scarlett : Yeah, not a class, but... Maybe a teacher.
Stiles : Who, Derek ? Did you forget the part where we put him in jail ?!
Scarlett : Yeah, I know ! But... Attacking her, pulling her to the back of the bus, it just felt... so real !
Stiles : How real ?
Scarlett : Like it actually happened...
They open the door and they see the police on the parking. A bus is full of blood. There are scratch marks.
Stiles : I think it was real !
They return in the school. Scarlett has her phone in her hand.
Stiles : She's probably fine !
Scarlett : She doesn't answer my texts !
Stiles : You know it could be just a coincidence ! A seriously amazing coincidence...
Scarlett : Just help me find her, okay ?
She starts getting angry and hits a locker. Then she realizes what she's doing and calms down. She goes to another corridor where she bumps into a person... It's Allison.
Allison : (smiling) Oh, you scared the hell out of me !
Scarlett : (relieved) You're okay ?
Allison : When my heart starts beating again, yeah. (Scarlett is starring at her) What ?
Scarlett : I'm just happy to see you.
They hear an announcement from the principal in the entire high school.
Principal : Students, this is your principal. I know you're all wondering about the accident of last night in one of our buses. While the police tries to determinate what happened, classes will proceed as usual. Thank you.
Allison : I see you at lunch !
Scarlett : (smiling) Yeah...
When she turns her head she sees that the locker smashed is Jacksons.
Jackson : What are you looking at ?
CLASSROOM
The teacher is on the board, writing something. The room is quiet.
Scarlett : (turning to Stiles) Maybe it was my blood.
Stiles : Or an animal blood. You know, maybe you caught a rabbit or something...
Scarlett : And did what ?
Stiles : Eat it...
Scarlett : Raw ?
Stiles : No, you cooked it in a little werewolf oven ! I don't know, you don't want or can't remember anything !
Teacher : Mister Stilinski ! If that's your idea of a quiet whisper, you mind want to take your earphones out every once in a while ! I think you and miss Scarlett would benefit for a little distance, yes ?
Stiles : No...
The teacher makes them move.
Teacher : Let me know if the separation is too difficult...
Suddenly, a girl who is sat next to the window gets up and starts screaming.
Girl : Hey, I think they found something !
Everyone gets up and goes to the window. They see the police with a man on a stretcher, he seems unconscious.
Scarlett : It's not a rabbit...
The man gets up really quickly, screaming. Everyone jolts.
Stiles : This is good, this is good... He got up, he's not dead ! Dead guys can't do that !
Scarlett : Stiles... I did that !
CAFETERIA
Stiles and Scarlett enter in the cafeteria.
Stiles : But dreams aren't memories !
Scarlett : Then it wasn't a dream ! Something happened last night and I don't know what...
Stiles : What makes you so sure that Derek even has all the answers ?
Scarlett : Because, the night of the full moon, he wasn't changed, he was in total control ! While I was running around in the middle of the night, attacking some total innocent guys...
Stiles : You don't know that !
Scarlett : I don't not know it ! I can't go out with Allison and Lydia, I have to cancel...
Stiles : No ! You're not cancelling, okay ? You're not going to cancel your entire life ! We'll figure it out ! (Lydia sits at their table)
Lydia : Figure what out ?
Stiles doesn't believe in his luck that Lydia sits there.
Stiles : Er... Homework !
Scarlett : Yeah...
Stiles : (whispering) Why is she sitting with us ?
Allison, Danny and two other people sit with them.
Jackson : (to one of the two people) Get up !
Man : Why don't you ask Danny to get up ?
Danny : Because I don't stare at his girlfriend.
The man leaves the table and Jackson sits.
Danny : So I heard it was some kind of an animal attack... Probably a cougar.
Jackson : I heard it was a mountain lion.
Lydia : A cougar is a mountain lion. (Jackson strangely looks at her) ...Isn't it ?
Jackson : Who cares ? It was probably a homeless who were gonna die anyway.
Stiles : (looking at his phone) Actually I just found out who it is, check it out !
Journalist : The sheriff department won't speculate on the details of the incident, but confirmed that the victim, Garrisson Meyers, did survive at the attack ! Meyers was taken to a local hospital where he remains in a critical conditions.
Scarlett : Wait, I know this guy !
Allison : You do ?
Scarlett : Yeah, I used to take his bus when I went to see my dad. He was the driver.
Lydia : Can we talk about something more fun, please ? Like... Oh, Where are we going tomorrow night ? (Allison looks at her) You said you and Scarlett were hanging out tomorrow night, right ?
Allison : Oh, hum... We haven't decided what we were gonna do...
Lydia : Well, I'm not a big fan of watching lacrosse videos with Jackson, but if the four of us are going to hang out... We're doing something fun.
Allison : Yeah, I guess it... sounds fun.
Jackson : You know what else should be fun ? Stabbing myself in the face with this fork !
Lydia : What about a bowling ? You love to bowl !
Jackson : Yeah, with actual competition bowl.
Allison : How do you know we're not actual competition ? (to Scarlett) You can bowl, right ?
Scarlett : Sort of...
Jackson : Is it sort of, or yes ?
Scarlett : Yes ! In fact, I'm a great bowler !
IN THE CORRIDOR
Stiles and Scarlett are walking on a corridor.
Stiles : You're a terrible bowler !
Scarlett : I know ! I'm such an idiot !
Stiles : It was like I was watching a car accident. First it turns into Lydia and Jackson. and after that comes that phrase from nowhere !
Scarlett : How did all of that happen ? I maybe even killed a guy, or maybe I didn't...
Stiles : I don't think Lydia likes me very much.
Scott : I asked Allison to hang out, and now we're hanging out plus 2.
Stiles : Am I attractive to girls ?
Scarlett : I made it to first line and the captain of the team wants to destroy me and now... Now I'm gonna be late for work !
Stiles : Wait, Scarlett ! You didn't... Am I attractive to girls ? You didn't answer my question.
ANIMAL CLINIC
Scarlett arrives to the clinic.
Scarlett : (to her boss) Sorry...Sorry.
Dr Deaton : You're only two minutes late.
Scarlett : I just don't want you to think I'm slacking.
Deaton : Scarlett, I gotta tell you, you're one of the least slacking kids I know in this town !
The door opens and Scarlett sees the sheriff coming in. She's getting scared but she realizes that he has a dog and is not here for his job.
Deaton : Hey ! I see somebody's ready to get his stitches out !
Sheriff : Hey, Scarlett, you're staying out trouble ?
Scarlett : Yeah...
Sheriff : Hey, listen, while I'm here, you mind taking a look at these pictures and tell me what you can say about it ? Sacramento took indeterminate animal.
Deaton : I'm not exactly an expert. (He looks at the pictures) Oh... This is the guy who was attacked in the bus ? (Scarlett looks up)
Sheriff : Yeah. We found wolf hairs on Laura Hale's body.
Scarlett : A wolf ? I mean, I... I think I read somewhere that wolfs haven't been in California for like sixteen years !
Deaton : True enough, but wolfs are migratory. They can come from another state, drove by their impulse or strong enough memory.
Scarlett : Wolfs have memories ?
Deaton : Long term memory, yes. Associated with a primal drive. (He shows the pictures to the Sheriff) You see this one here ? Those are scratches. A wolf would have bite the throat or the spinal cord, with his teeth.
Sheriff : So, what do you think, it's a mountain lion ?
Deaton : I don't know... A wolf could purchasing him, destroy his ankles.
Scarlett remembers her dream when she catches Allison by her ankles.
Deaton : And then the throat...
HOSPITAL
Scarlett enters the hospital. She brings dinner to her mother.
Melissa : Is my beautiful, talented and wonderful daughter actually bringing me dinner ?
Scarlett : I thought you wouldn't mind skipping the cafeteria tonight !
Melissa : You are the most thoughtful, loving, the most conniving little con hardest ever, you are so not getting the car tomorrow night !
Scarlett : Mom !
Melissa : What ? There's a curfew, no car ! (she's smiles and take the bag) But I will take this ! Love you...
Scarlett : Love you too...
She's about to leave the hospital but she suddenly turns around and goes to the room of the patient who has been attacked in the bus.
Scarlett : Mister Meyers ? (Meyers opens his eyes) You're okay ? (He looks at Scarlett and starts to panic. He catches her and doesn't want to let her go)
Melissa : (coming in the room) What the hell are you doing here ? Get out, now ! Go ! Go ! (she tries to make him calm down)
DEREK'S HOUSE
A police officer arrive in front of the house in his car.
Police officer : (to his radio) It looks pretty deserted, there, you want me to come inside ?
Radio : Yes, it's the county property. All we have to make sure is that it's empty.
Police officer : (who seems worried) I... I don't think anyone's home...
Radio : For the love of god, go inside and see if everyone's in there !
Police officer : Copy that...
He's slowly getting closer to the house. Derek's watching him behind his window. In the car, the dog barks. The police man chooses not coming in and leaves the place with his car. Derek smiles. Scarlett arrives at the house.
Scarlett : I know you can hear me. I need your help.
Derek goes out and joins Scarlett.
Scarlett : Okay... I know I was a part of you getting arrested and that we basically announced you being here to the hunters, I also... don't know what happened to your sister. But I think I did something last night. I had a dream about... someone. But someone else got hurt. And it seems like a part of the dream actually happened.
Derek : You think you attacked the driver ? (Walking closer to her)
Scarlett : Did you see what I did last night ? (He's really close, I wonder if he's a good kisser?...and there goes my serious attitude)
Derek : No.
Scarlett : Can you at least tell me the truth ? Am I gonna hurt someone ?
Derek : Yes.
Scarlett : Could I kill someone ?
Derek : Yes.
Scarlett : Am I gonna kill someone ?
Derek : Probably. (Scarlett looks phased) Look, I can show you how to remember. I can show how to control the shift, even at the full moon. But it's not gonna come for free.
Scarlett : What do you want ? (I'll do anything, you know be your girlfriend maybe...)
Derek : You'll find out. But for now, I'm gonna give you what you want. Go back to the bus. Go inside, and see it. Feel it. Let your senses, your sight. Smell, touch. Let every memory flood to you.
Scarlett: That's it, just... Just go back ?
Derek : Do you wanna know what happened ?
Scarlett : I just wanna know if I hurt him.
HIGH SCHOOL
Scarlett and Stiles arrive in front of the school.
Scarlett : No, just me ! Someone needs to keep watch !
Stiles : Why I am always the one who's keeping the watch ?
Scarlett : Because there's only the two of us !
Stiles : Okay, why do I start to feel like you're Batman and I'm Robin ? I don't want to be Robin all the time !
Scarlett : Nobody's Batman or Robin any of the time !
Stiles : Not even some of the time ?
Scarlett : Just stay here !
Stiles : Oh my god !
Scarlett scales the wire netting. She starts to remember the night. She remembers that she's not the one who attacked the man. She even tried to help him. In the car, Stiles suddenly sees car lights. He honks. Scarlett hears him and runs. She gets into the car.
Scarlett : Go !
Stiles : Did it work ? Did you remember ?
Scarlett : Yeah, I was there last night. But the blood, none of it was mine.
Stiles : So you did attack him ?
Scarlett : No ! I saw red eyes in the bus. But it wasn't mine, it was an alpha, it was Derek. (Minor heartbreak)
Stiles : What about the driver ?
Scarlett : I was trying to protect him.
Stiles : Wait, why would Derek help you remember that he attacked the driver ?
Scarlett : That's what I don't get !
Stiles : This gotta be a pack thing.
Scarlett : What do you mean ?
Stiles : Like an initiation. You've got to kill together.
Scarlett : Because digging someone's throat out is a real brother sisterly experience ?
Stiles : But you didn't do it ! Which means you're not a killer ! And it also means that...
Scarlett : (smiling) That I can go hang out with Lydia, Alison, and Jackson...
Stiles : I was gonna say that means you won't kill me.
Scarlett : Oh, yeah... That too.
ARGENT'S HOUSE
Allison looks in her closet to find something to wear .She chooses a shirt and show it to Lydia, sitting on her bed.
Lydia : Hum... Pass. (she chooses another one) Pass. Let me see... (she looks in the closet) Pass, pass, pass... Oh Allison, my respect for your taste dwindles every second. (She takes a shirt) This !
Allison's father get in the room.
Allison : Dad... Hello.
Chris : Right, I'm sorry, I completely forgot to knock.
Lydia : Hey, mister Argent.
Allison : Dad, do you need something ?
Chris : I wanted to tell you that you are staying here tonight.
Allison : What ? I'm going out with my friends tonight.
Chris : No, some animal out there's attacking people.
Allison : Dad...
Chris : There's a curfew passed 9.30 pm. No more arguing.
He leaves the room.
Lydia : Daddy's little girl...
Allison : Sometimes. But not tonight.
She opens the window, gets out of the room and starts walking on the roof.
Lydia : What are you doing ?
She makes a gymnastic move to get down.
Allison : (whispering) Eight years of gymnastics ! You're coming ?
Lydia : I'll take the stairs...
BOWLING
Allison is choosing her bowling ball.
Scarlett : You really looks like you know what you're doing.
Allison : I used to bowl with my dad. When was the last time you bowled ?
Scarlett : Hum... At a birthday party. (she leaves) When I was eight...
Jackson helps Lydia to bowl but she only hits three pins.
Lydia : Oh, I'm so bad at this.
Allison hits all the pins. Jackson too.
Jackson : You're up, Scarlett...
Allison : You can do it, Scarlett !
Scarlett completely misses the pins. Jackson starts to laugh.
Allison : Jackson ! (he keeps laughing) You mind shutting up ?
Jackson : (laughing) I'm sorry... I'm just laughing back to the word "I'm a great bowler" !
Allison : Maybe she just needs a little more up !
Jackson : Yeah, maybe she just needs the kiddy bumpers ! (Lydia laughs too)
Allison : (to Scarlett) Just aim for the middle.
Jackson : How about you just aim something else than the gutter !
Allison : Let her concentrate !
Scarlett : (to herself) Come on, just one pin, please !
The bowl gets in the gutter.
Jackson : Oh, great job Arlett ! Man, you are a pro !
Allison : Don't worry, we just started...
GAS STATION
Derek park his car at the station and goes out. Two cars arrive encircle him. Allison's father goes out of the first car.
BOWLING
Scarlett is about to bowl. Allison gets up and joins her.
Allison : Scarlett, you think too much.
Scarlett :I'm really sorry, I'm ruining everything.
Allison : No, no ! Not at all but, I would like shut them up so, just clear your head, and think about something else.
Scarlett : Like what ?
Allison : Anything. Think about someone you really like, concentrate on them.
Scarlett hits all the pins. Allison laughs.
Jackson : What did you say to her ?
Allison : Hum, I just gave her something to think about girl talk.
GAS STATION
Chris : Nice ride ! Black car though... Very hard to keep clean. I would definitely suggest a little more maintenance. When you have something that nice, you wanna take care of it, right ? Personally, I'm very protective of the things I love. That's something I learned from my family. You don't have much of that, these days... Do you ? (Derek clenches one's fists but stays calm) Here we go...
One of Chris' men break a window and they leave.
BOWLING
Scarlett keeps hitting all the pins.
Allison : That is seriously amazing ! Jackson, hum, how many strikes is it ?
Jackson : It's six... In a row.
Scarlett : I somehow just clicked I guess.
Allison : Maybe it's a natural talent.
Lydia : I could use a natural talent... You mind helping me this time ?
Scarlett : Hum... No you're good ! Go for it !
Lydia : Thanks for the vote of confidence !
Jackson : I'll help !
Lydia : How about I try this one alone ?
She makes a strike.
Lydia : I think I'm gonna I'm getting this thing !
Allison : That was sort of a perfect form...
Lydia : Was it ?
Allison : (whispering to Allison) Maybe you should stop pretending to suck just for his benefit...
Lydia : (whispering) Trust me, I do plenty of sucking JUST for his benefit...
Later, Jackson is at the pinball machine. Scarlett goes to him.
Scott : Nice shot, man... (Jackson looks daggers at her) Listen, I know we both didn't want to be here. But the thing is, we don't have to hate each other.
Jackson : I don't hate you. I just don't believe you. You know, you may made everybody think that everything is normal and find about you but... I know something's off. You cheated tonight.
Scarlett : How do you cheat in bowling ?
Jackson : I don't know ! But you did. And I don't know if it's steroids or something weirder, I'm guessing something weirder, it's pretty obvious that you're a freak. So... Don't think for a second I'll give up on finding out you're little secret.
Scarlett : I don't have any secrets.
Jackson : Yeah, you do. And... Here's the other thing. I don't know why, but, I think whatever it is you're hiding, you don't want anyone to find out.
HOSPITAL
Derek is in the room of the man who was attacked.
Derek : Open your eyes... Open your eyes ! (Meyers opens his eyes) Look at me. What do you remember ?
Meyers : Hale...
Derek : (frowning) How do you know my name ?
Meyers : I'm sorry...
Derek : How do you know me ?
Meyers : I'm sorry...
Melissa : (smiling, to another nurse) I'm out of here. There's a DVD at home, full of unwatched TV, waiting to remind me how ridiculously single I really am. (She sees and hears an alarm on the computer) Rose, room 137 !
She runs to the room of Meyers and see him dead.
McCALL'S HOUSE
Melissa goes to Scarlett's bedroom.
Melissa : Hey, Scar, I'm gonna go to... (she realizes Scarlett is not in her room) ...sleep. Seriously...
She starts to leave but she hears a noise. She returns into Scarlett's bedroom and takes a bat. She sees someone getting in the room by the window. She's about to knock him out but she realizes it's Stiles. They both scream.
Melissa : Stiles, what the hell are you doing ?
Stiles: What am I doing ? God, do either of you even know how to play baseball ?
Melissa : What ?
Scarlett gets in the room.
Melissa : Can you please tell your friend to use the front door ?
Scarlett : You locked the front door, he wouldn't be able to get in !
Melissa : Yeah, exactly ! And, by the way, does either of you care the police made a curfew ?
Scarlett and Stiles : (together) No.
Melissa : No ? Alright, then, you know what ? It's enough parenting to me for one night. Good night ! (she leaves)
Scarlett : Good night... (looking at Stiles) What ?
Stiles : My dad left for the hospital fifteen minutes ago and it's the bus driver... He said he succumbed to his wounds.
Scarlett : Succumbed ?
Stiles : Scar... He's dead.
DEREK'S HOUSE
Scarlett goes to Derek's house. She gets in without knocking.
Scarlett : Derek ! I know you're here ! I know what you did !
Derek : (without showing himself) I didn't do anything.
Scarlett : (starting to gets upstairs) You killed him !
Derek : He died...
Scarlett : Like your sister died ?
Derek : My sister was missing. I came here to look for her !
Scarlett : You found her.
Derek : (getting upset) I found her in pieces ! Being used as bait to catch me !
Scarlett : I think you killed them both. I'm going to tell everyone. Starting with the sheriff.
She arrives on the first floor. Derek suddenly appears behind her and makes her fall down the stairs. Scarlett shifts, Derek jumps down. Scarlett gets angry and throws him through the walls.
Derek : (getting up and patting off his jacket) That was cute... (he shifts)
They fight. Derek wins. They both take back their human forms.
Derek : I didn't kill him ! Neither of us did ! It's not your fault and it's not mine !
Scarlett : This ? This is all your fault ! You ruined my life !
Derek : No, I didn't !
Scarlett : You're the one who bit me.
Derek : No, I'm not !
Scarlett : What ? (If he's not then...)
Derek : I'm not the one that bit you !
Scarlett : (remembering the bus scene) There's another...
Derek : It's called an alpha. It's the most dangerous of our kind. You and I, we're betas... This thing is more powerful, more animal than either of us. My sister came here looking for her and now, I'm trying to find him. But I don't think I can do it without you.
Scarlett : Why me ?
Derek : Because he's the one that bit you. You're a part of his pack. It's you, Scarlett... You're the one he wants. And I can't bear it without you... Or see you get hurt, so (he moves so their inches apart) were in this together scar. (He leans in and kisses her)
