Caleb wakes up in a attic looking room and starts to panic and look around
He is standing on his knees and his wrist are held up in chains
Caleb: HELLO!
He shouts and no one responds
He tries to pull out of the chains but can't
Caleb: WHOEVER DID THIS WILL ANSWER TO MY DAD!
Lapis walks into the room
Caleb: Lapis…?
He looks in confusion and she sees the fear in his eyes
Caleb: You- You GOTTA GET ME OUT HERE
She sits a bowl on a table with another bowl with blood in there
Lapis: I'm sorry I can't
Caleb: Is that my blood?
Lapis: Just calm down
Caleb: Calm down?
Caleb: YOU FREAKING KIDNAPPED ME FOR CHRIST SAKE HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO CALM DOWN
Lapis looks in regret as she walks out the door
The town is festive with the Halloween decorations as the moon beams through the night and people are walking around in costumes
Connor walks to Dominic front row and rings it
He's wearing a werewolf mask in jeans and a black leather jacket
Dominic opens the door
Dominic jumps a little when he sees Connor costume
Dominic is wearing a wizard outfit
Dominic: So we thought the same thing
He says as he walks out and closes his door
Connor: Might as well embrace who we are
He says as he takes his mask off
Connor: But if I'm being honest with you aren't you a witch?
They start walking down the street
Dominic: I mean yeah but does it looks like I would walk around in a witch costume
Connor: I mean yeah a little
Dominic glares at him with serious face
Connor: I'm just kidding
He says as he softly punches Dominic shoulder
Dominic: Where is Cassidy?
Connor: I don't know….. I haven't heard from her since… You know-
Dominic: The kiss?….
They both come to a complete stop
Connor: Yeah….
Connor: What if she hates me for what I did
He says as he starts walking again slowly
Dominic: She doesn't hate you
Dominic: You just have to give her time
Connor looks in remorse
Dominic: You know what…. I have an idea
He says as he smiles
In the attic
Caleb is very weakened and coughing from his loss of blood
Lapis come back in the attic
She brings in a jar of green liquid as she puts on a blue moon rock looking ring
She looks at Caleb with guilt
Lapis: You look thirsty can I get you some water
Caleb looks up slowly and he breathes heavy
Caleb: Go to hell….
Lapis: Listen Caleb….
Caleb: I don't want to hear it….
Caleb: Just let me out of here
He says while panting heavy
Caleb: It's Halloween and my friends will notice that I'm missing
Lapis: It's almost done I just need a little more time
Caleb: What are you talking about?
Lapis: This is the only way I can save you from him
Caleb: Save me how…..
Lapis: You will have to drink this as all of this
Lapis: And when you do you
She turns around a looks at him with a serious face
Lapis: You will become a vampire….
He look in fear
A doorbell rings and Dominic and Connor is standing at the door
The door opens and Cassidy is standing there in her pajamas
Cassidy: Dominic and Con-
Cassidy: What are you guys doing here
Dominic: We're here to come get you
Cassidy: I'm not in the Halloween spirit if you couldn't tell
Dominic: I'm pretty sure I wasn't asking
Cassidy: Fine give me like 20 minutes
She walks off and they both come in
In the attic
Caleb: What do you mean a vampire
Lapis: It's better for you not to ask questions right now and let me focus
Caleb: Is that what you are? Have you been lying to me all this time…
Lapis: No I'm not….
Caleb: Then what are you?
Lapis looks at him
Lapis: I'm a mermaid….
Caleb: A Mermaid?
Lapis uses the moon ring as it lights up and it's lifts the water out of the bottle and she throws the water on herself
A few second passes as she turns fully into water and she gains a orange scaly tail and a orange scaly sports looking bra on her top
Caleb eyes widen as he jumps back
Lapis: You see I want to be honest with you from now on
Caleb: Your- You're a mermaid…
Lapis uses her moon ring and it glows as she points it to her tail and she becomes steamy
Connor and Dominic is sitting on the couch talking
As Cassidy starts walking down the stairs in a girls vampire outfit
Connor looks at her and he is mesmerized
She then looks at him
Dominic: Well I'm pretty sure we're ready
Connor: Yea- Yeah… let's go
The streets are full of people with costumes and Connor, Dominic and Cassidy carry different colors Halloween baskets
They walk in silence
Dominic looks at both of them
Dominic: So….. This is nice…. We're going trick or treating again
Connor: For the twelfth consecutive year
It becomes silent again
Dominic walks in front of both of them
Dominic: LISTEN UP!
Dominic: You both are my best friends….
Dominic: And this bump in the road will not tear us apart
Cassidy and Connor looks at each other
Cassidy: I need something to eat…
She walks towards a food truck
Dominic sighs
Dominic: I'll go talk to her
Lapis is working on the potion
Caleb: There has to be another way
Lapis: No there not….
Caleb: There has to be…
Caleb: Lapis please
Lapis: THERE NOT!
Caleb: IT HAS TO BE! I CANNOT LOSE MY HUMANITY!
Caleb: WHAT ARE YOU NOT TELLING ME
Lapis: IF I DONT TURN YOU HE WILL KILL YOU…. He said your my weakness and if I don't turn you he would rip your heart out of your chest
Caleb: So why protect me? Huh?
Lapis: Because I care about you…..
Caleb eyes widens a little
Lapis: I can't lose you…. And I won't allow him to take you from me
Lapis: I Just a few more minutes
William appears from the shadows
William: Hello mate
He says with a evil grin
Dominic sits down next to Cassidy on the bench
They sit in silence for a few seconds and just look around
Dominic: Look-
Cassidy: I know what you're about to say…. That our friendship means more than just a phony kiss that didn't mean much and that we should just move on….
Cassidy: But I can't…. And not because of the kiss but because it did mean something and I hate that the way I feel about him might ruin our friendship
Dominic: Well I'm not the right guy to give you advice on what you should do or not but what I can tell you is… Life is too short to not take risk and if that risk is that you like Connor then take that risk
Dominic: Don't let your gut get in the way of how you feel about him
Cassidy looks at him with a smile and she bumps him softly
Cassidy: When did you get all lovey and soft on me
Dominic: Me? Pfttt….. Never
He says with a smile
In the attic….
William stands there and Caleb looks at him in fear
William: So this is the one that you like
He walks up and drops down to him
William: Let's get one thing straight….. Once your transformation is complete you will work for me
William: Understand?
Caleb: Go to hell…
William gets up
William: I see why you like him
He says as he walks out the room
Lapis: The potion is ready…
Caleb: I can't do this
She gets close to him
Lapis: I'm going to unchain you and take the potion with you and you decide on what your going to do with it
She says as she unties him
Lapis: But If you don't he will hunt you down and he won't stop
He gets free and she hands him the potion
Lapis: If you do decide to take it you will need to die and then you will need to feed before the next 24 hours or you will die
He gets up and starts walking
Lapis: Hey Caleb
He turns around
Lapis: Please make the right choice
They get back to Cassidy house
Dominic: We'll imma head out
Cassidy: So early?
Dominic: I got a job interview in the morning
Connor: Dominic getting a job?
Connor: The world must be ending
He says as he laughs
Dominic: I'll have you know I'm maturing and trying to become a adult unlike you two
Connor: Sure…. You just want a job girlfriend
Dominic: Yeah….
He says as he leaves out the door
Connor looks at Cassidy and they lock eyes
Connor: Cassidy look-
Cassidy speed walk up to him
Cassidy: Stop talking-
She says as she kisses him
They kiss for a few second then stop
Connor: What changed your mind?
He says breathing heavy
Cassidy: I realized life too short to live in fear and shield ourselves from our emotions
Connor looks at her and she look at him as he kisses her again and they continues to kiss as they run into the door and she opens it which is her room
She throws him onto the bed and she gets on top of him and takes her shirt off
At Caleb house
Caleb looks at the potion and thinks to himself
He starts to panic and paces back and forth
Caleb: I know my choice
He says as his face turns serious
To be continued…..
