The green trees blew into the wind and leaves fell from the trees as the birds chirped and the sun slowly rose
An alarm clock went off loudly saying "6:00 AM" on it
Connor turns around towards it turns it off and tries to toss back over and go back to sleep
He's unable to be able to go back to sleep and finally gets up
He drags himself to the bathroom and stands in the mirror
His brown hair almost looks similar to before but shorter and he has reddish PJs on with no shirt
Connor: I should stay home today….
He grabs the toothpaste and starts to brush his teeth
As he brushes his teeth he feel as strong pain in his back
Connor: AHHHH!
He says as he falls to the bathroom floor
Ella runs into his room and sees him of the floor
Ella: Connor!
She runs towards him and grabs him
Ella: Are you ok!?
She lifts him up and in the reflection you see his back having the same black lines and spots glowing but it looks worse
She brings him to the edge of his bed and sits him down
Ella: It's happening again….
Connor: I'm fine, mom…..
Ella: No you're not….. This has been happening every week….
Ella: Maybe you should stay home
Connor: No…. not again
Connor: I've barely been to school…. Since- you know….
Ella: I know…. but are you sure you can deal with that while you're at school?
Connor: Yes Mom…. I'll be fine…. I promise
Ella smiles and rubs his hair
Ella: Alright champ… try not and be late
Connor: Imma be home late
He says as Ella leaves out his room and she stops
Ella: Why? You have plans?
Connor: Well I have practice today
Ella: You're playing football again?
Connor: Yeah gotta get back to my regular life….
Ella: Just be careful ok?
Connor: Yeah- Got it
The school bell rings….
Students walk through the hallways talking and laughing
Connor opens his locker as Dominic walks up
Dominic: Hey….
Connor: Dominic…. Hey
Dominic: You came today
Dominic: You weren't here at all last week
Connor: Yeah my back is still pretty bad
Dominic: Yeah I'm working on it…
Cassidy walks up with a smile on her face
Cassidy: Hey losers
Connor: Hey Cassidy
Cassidy: The mood is pretty depressing over here can you guys put a smile on your faces
Connor: Not today-
Cassidy: Like attempt to at least for me?
Connor: I SAID NOT TODAY
Cassidy: What's wrong with you?
Connor: OH NOTHING IT'S NOT LIKE HANNAH DIDN'T JUST DIE
He yells as he slams the locker and walks away in anger and the entire hallway gets quiet and stares
Cassidy: It's getting worse
Dominic: I mean he isn't wrong Cassidy…. Hannah's death was only a month ago and some of us haven't fully recovered from it
Cassidy's face turns saddened
Dominic: Imma head to class
He says as he closes his locker
Dominic pulls out his phone and sends a text as he walks off
A little while later….
Dylan sleeps with one leg hanging off the bed and around his bed are beers and liquor bottles
He also has wrappers of snacks and food everywhere
Jessica walks up to his door
Jessica: DYLAN!
She shouts as she walks into his room and opens the blinds bringing the sunlight to hit his face
Dylan grunts as he tosses around
Dylan: Go away….
Dylan's face was full of regret and grief and his beard became wild tangled and unkempt
Jessica: You have been locked up for weeks
Jessica: Come on get up!
Dylan: For what….
Jessica: News flash Connor is still cursed with that spell and Dominic just told me it's getting worse
Dylan grunts again
Dylan: Connor can handle himself….
Jessica: No way you actually believe that
She says as her face tenses up in anger
Jessica: Connor needs our help…. You're not the only one dealing with this Dyl…
Dylan: Can you just go away like far away
Jessica: You know what... Fine…. but I'm going to help Connor because he jumped in front of that blast for Hannah and I
Jessica: And- If- if she was still here…. she would be nonstopping working to find a cure for him….
Jessica walks out of Dylan's room and slams the door behind her
Dylan looks over to a picture of Hannah on his table on the side of his bed
He stares at it for a second and his face shifts into a sad look
The school bell rings and Connor & Dominic stand in line at lunch waiting to get their food
Connor: I think I might go home early today-
Summer walks up and she grabs a tray
Summer: Hey Connor….
Connor: Summer! Hey…
Dominic: Am I just invisible?
Summer giggles
Summer: Hey Dominic
Summer: So Connor…
Connor: Yeah
Summer: I was wondering are you doing anything like…. This weekend?
Connor: Not planned, no why?
Summer: So I got these tickets to see the re-release of Godfather in theater….
Connor: As in Theee Godfather?
He says with a lit smile on his face
Summer: Yeah and was wondering-….
Dominic: Yes he will go of course he will
Summer looks at Connor waiting for an answer with hope on her face
Connor smile drops from his face and he grows a sad look on his face
Connor: Yeah I would love to… But I don't know if I can- I have a lot going on….
Summer smiles drops
Summer: No- No yeah of course- that's completely understandable….
She says with a smile
They finish getting their food
Summer: I should get going- my friends are waiting for me
Connor: Yeah- yeah alright
Summer walks away
Dominic and Connor take a seat at a lunch table
Dominic: Have you lost your mind?
Connor: What?
Dominic: That was your chance to go on a date with the girl you've been wanting
Connor: I just got a lot going on right now… I don't have time for dates and relationships
Dominic: Connor…. It's been a month- She would want you to move on and live your life
Connor: You don't know what she would have wanted….
Connor gets up from his seat and starts to walk away from Dominic
Dominic also gets up and follows behind Connor
Dominic: Connor wait-
Connor heads into the football locker room and the locker room is empty
Dominic: AM I WRONG THOUGH?
As Connor stops and opens his locker
Dominic: YOU HAVE TO MOVE ON CONNOR-
Connor: YOU DON'T THINK I'VE TRIED?
He says as he punches a locker leaving a big dent in it
Connor: EVERYDAY I FEEL LIKE I WANT TO MOVE ON…. BUT I CAN'T
Connor: I'M RESPONSIBLE FOR HER DYING- ME!
Connor: I WATCHED WILLIAM PUT HIS HAND THROUGH HER CHEST AND I STOOD THERE AND DID NOTHING
Connor: I take the blame for her death….
Connor: And now Imma have to live with that for the rest of my life…. she's gone because of me….
Connor then storms out of the locker room
Dominic face grows upset as he stares at the dent Connor put in the locker leaving it to be half-destroyed
Jessica arrives at an old wooden home
She stares at the house as Dylan pulls up and gets out of the car
Dylan: Why did you want me to meet you here?
Jessica: From what I know a powerful witch lived here
Dylan: I'm pretty sure if a powerful witch lived here either William got to them already or I would've at least known about them
Jessica: According to my source her name is Abigail-
She says as she starts to walk to the front door but Dylan stops himself
Dylan: Wait- did you just say Abigail?
Jessica: Yeah that's what I was told
Dylan: We have to go now-
As he tries to finish his sentence the door swings open as a black woman with curly dark brown hair and a rainbow color type of gown on
She raises her hand and catches Jessica bringing her to her knees
Dylan's eyes turn blue as he runs toward the witch jumping at her
Abigail releases Jessica to stop Dylan but is too late Dylan slashes his claw across her neck as blood starts to drip from her neck and her body drops to the ground
Jessica gets up and dusts her clothes off
Jessica: What just happened!
She yells in frustration
Dylan: We just lost our only chance of saving Connor….
Dylan: She worked with William….
Connor doorbell rings and he is standing in the kitchen making himself a sandwich
Connor: Coming!
He walks to the door and opens it to see Dominic, Cassidy, Summer, Jessica, and Dylan standing at his front door
Connor: Did I miss something?
Dylan: We need to talk… All of us…
They all head into the living room and take a seat
Dominic: Connor can you grab me a snack
Connor: Get up and get your own
Dominic: I should have slammed you at practice….
Dominic heads towards the kitchen
Summer: Connor, Your mom home?
Connor: No she won't be home until midnight- she's at work
Dylan: Alright so listen up
He says standing up
Dylan: We all haven't really been in the same room all together since-….
Jessica: Yeah because you've been locked in your room for a month
Dylan: The point is- it's time to get back to our lives and that's coming from me
Dylan: But before we can do that we have to figure out a cure for Connor because he's getting worse
Connor: I'm fine- I'm back to normal…. I'm focused on school and football
Dominic: Yeah we start playoffs in two weeks….
Connor shakes his head
Dylan: How are you going to play football with your back and mind like that?
Connor: Don't worry about me, I'll be fine….
Cassidy: No you won't Connor we all are worried about you
Cassidy: Especially me….
Connor: WELL STOP WORRYING ABOUT ME I SAID IM FINE
His eyes turn black
He says as he storms out the front door
Cassidy: We gotta find that cure
Dominic: Because that wasn't Connor…
Dylan: And fast…
Connor sits on the porch looking off into the cars pass by
The door opens and Summer walks out and sits next to him
Summer: Hey…
Connor: If you came to cheer me up then just save it…
Summer sighs
Summer: Connor... I know you have been and you are going through a lot…. You've been in a coma… you've witnessed a friend die… you even battling a darkness curse inside of you
Summer: I do understand your anger… I do but we both know this isn't you….
Connor eyes slowly start to tear up
Connor: I just want things- things to go back to normal
He says as he starts to sob
Summer grabs him and lays him on her shoulder
Summer: I know… It's gonna be okay….
She says as he cries on her shoulder
A woman and a man in the distance in the woods staring at them on the porch
Women: There still grieving
Man: Good…. This is what we want
To be continued….
