NARRATOR (Liam): For one hundred years my human ancestors and my family today have suffered a terrifying life, a life of maladies and disease, one that no one could explain, one that no one else could ask of, a life that no one should experience, a life which you can't live with. My name is Liam Salvan. This is my story.... i'm ready to kick back.
----
==Liverpool, Pennsylvania - 1677==
(A little village stands in all it's glory, very gritty, very dirty. The village is circled by cottages and a log fire burning in the center. The village is filled with men and woman picking up logs by hand and walking into cottages. It seems like a nice place to be. A young woman named Abby stands watching she doesn't look impressed, then Yusuf her husband stands next to her.)
ABBY: I wish, we could do this another way darling.
YUSUF: We can't. This is the only way.
ABBY: Why haven't we yet brought justice, for our village?
YUSUF: Abby darling, this is the only way to get rid of the plague. 
ABBY: OK. 
(Yusuf touches Abby's face, she turns to him.)
YUSUF: I don't ever want to be parted from you Abby, no matter even if we perish. Love is forever.
==Salvan Cottage - One Year Later==
(Abby hears chaos outside and looks out of the cottage window. She sees the villagers throwing burning wood at their own cottages. Hari Salvan, Abby's step-brother walks to the window with Abby.) 
ABBY: Oh why shall this happen!? Why?!
HARI (look on): We need to get rid of the plague.This will not destroy us, do you hear me?
ABBY: Where's Yusuf? 
HARI: He's helping the rest of the villagers burn their cottages down.
(Yusuf bursts through the door.)
ABBY (over joyed): Oh Yusuf, shall we leave? 
YUSUF: (looking at Abby) we must (looking at Hari) otherwise the worst will surely happen to us.
HARI: He's right, Abby we need to go. The fields, the villagers have put our horses there. It's to unsafe for them to stay here. 
(They grab their bag of supplies and run out of the door.) 
(as they pass by the village, Abby is horrified by the chaos that has occured. She freezes and watches on. People are still throwing burning wood at the cottages.)
YUSUF: Come. We have to go. It's not just for us, it's for the villagers. They would want us to continue our lives in happiness. Please! 
ABBY (tear in her eye): burning down our homeland.
HARI: Lets go we haven't got much time. 
(The Mayor runs over to them, he is also panicking.)
MAYOR: You must go. Go now. NOW!
ABBY: We can't it's our home. 
(The mayor takes her hands.)
MAYOR (to Abby): Look, you must leave, everyone has to. There is many more villages and towns as jolly as ours was, the adventures you will have. I've got my men to get you horses, there in the fields. GO. GO! 
YUSUF: He is right, we need to flee 
(She sobs as they run to to the fields.The Mayor runs the opposite way.)
==Field ==
(The chaos echoes throughout the village. Yusuf, Hari and Abby all run to the horses, Abby is truly devastated and horrified. Hari jumps on to his horse, Yusuf helps Abby onto hers then Yusuf jumps onto his.)
ABBY (worried): Where will we go?
YUSUF: Don't worry we will find somewhere, we always do.
(Their horses start to gallop. They start their journey to the unknown.)
NARRATOR (Liam): For over twenty years my family adopted a nomadic lifestyle in their search for a plague free land, they went from settlement to settlement, living off the land, hunting and gathering. Never staying in one place for longer than a week, they eventually decided to go south and they eventually found a settlement sufficiently isolated enough to be free from the plague, this place was called Gallows Hill and that is where the second Salvan Family started, my family.
== Salvan House - Gallows Hill - 1863==
(A woman named Ulisa Salvan is delivering a baby. Her maid and her husband Silvanus are helping her. Silvanus stands beside the bed and dampens a cold cloth onto Ulisa's sweatladen forehead.) 
MAID: Push a little harder, darling.
(She pushes and screams then suddenly, the baby's cry can be heard as she delivers her baby. Silvanus looks and smiles. The Maid takes the baby, and holds the baby in her arms.)
MAID: It's a boy. 
(SILVANUS GRINS WITH JOY AND GLEE)
ULISA (getting her breath back): A boy! (smiles). Let me see him.
(The Maid hands the baby to Ulisa, she now holds him in her arms. Silvanus and Ulisa kiss and look at the baby.)
ULISA (to Silvanus): We shall name him Liam, Liam Salvan. (smiles).
SILVANUS: Perfect.
(Liam cries.)
==Salvan House, Library - 1878==
(Liam is dressed in suitable school clothes, reads an old grey book by the fire. His mother Ulisa stands by the door.)
ULISA: Liam honey, time to go to school and don't forget the mayor has invited us to a dinner at his house.
(Liam looks up from the book and smiles.)
LIAM: Okay mother, i'll be right there.
(She smiles and walks on. Liam closes his book, the title is 'Life and living without terribles'. He lays it down on a table infront of him. He stands and walks out of the library. 
==Liam's School ==
(The teacher is standing, pointing at the board with work written on it. Liam sits at the far back, quite bored but trying to not get bored.  Liam looks at Katrina Tess, a hot, blonde haired girl, a girl who he likes. At the edge of her eye Katrina spots him staring at her.) )
TEACHER (to Liam): Liam Salvan!..Do you wish contribute to our lesson?
LIAM: what would you like me to contribute to, Miss Lockworth?
MISS LOCKWORTH: Stop putting your eye over another student. (angry)
LIAM: OK.
(He secretly looks back Katrina, she smiles. Liam looks back to Miss Lockworth.)
==A Nice Green Field ==
(Liam and Katrina run hand in hand, as they run Katrina's dress floats free with the wind into the grasses of Gallows Hill, flowers growing and the sun shines, it begins to set on a early summers night. Katrina lets go and runs free, Liam stops, he looks at Katrina. He smiles.)
LIAM (shouting): Katrina shall we not run too far. 
KATRINA(from a close distance) We shall, it's our time. Come honey! 
LIAM: I'm coming.. 
(Liam continues running through the field, following Katrina.) 
KATRINA: I feel free!!!! (waking her hands out through the wind.)
LIAM: SO free! (laughs)
(They tumble onto each other. They both laugh as they lay on the grass.)
[20 minutes later]
(Katrina lies on Liam's stomach.)
KATRINA: We will stay here until the moon rises. (smiles at Liam).
LIAM: We will. (smiles back.) 
KATRINA: It's wonderful.
LIAM: When will your father want you back at your house?
KATRINA: As the sun sets.
(Katrina closes her eyes and falls asleep.)
==Town Hall ==
(Katrina's father; Mayor Tess stands over a table with a map on it. Three of the founding council members all stand around the table looking down at the map. 
MAYOR TESS: In the last 9 days the plague has hit West Virginia, down the entire eastern coast all the way into Lousiana (he points at the map of America). What we don't want is it to hit Gallows Hill. So before it hits Gallows Hill we need to supply this (he holds up a tube of blood.), with this we can survive any plague or sickness and we can live forever. We must supply this to every stall and shop in the town, I can not tell you where i got this. We have to be quick because we had three families leave our town and end up dead in the settlement they arrived at, in order to stop the illness you must drink from the tube, all of it and then kill yourself. 
==Salvan House - Silvanus' Study==
(Silvanus sits at his desk, writing in his journal.)
SILVANUS: (reads as he writes) The plague is getting closer and yet, we haven't fleed. Call me a pariah bur i feel like we need to stay here, this is our homeland and I will not leave it...My ancestors suffered terrible lives while fleeing settlement to settlement trying to leave the terrible plague behind, but it kept creeping up and making them suffer and I will not accept my sons life to end the way their lives did.
(Liam stands outside the door and gently knocks, Silvanus looks up at him and closes his journal and places it to one side.)
SILVANUS (smiles): Son. To what do I owe this pleasure?
(Silvanus gestures towards the empty chair facing him. Liam walks into the study and sits down in the chair facing Silvanus.)
SILVANUS: How are you on this fine night?
LIAM: I'm bright (smiles).
SILVANUS: You seem unsure son, are you ok?
LIAM: Yes. I'm fine, will the plague rise away so we will not feel the pain?
SILVANUS: Yes, it will. (smiles)
LIAM: Where's mother?
SILVANUS: Shes making clothes for the winter.
LIAM: Are you studying father?
SILVANUS: Work of the dull minds, Son.(grins)
==Night - 1679==
(Yusuf, Abby and Hari are still riding on their horses. They are riding down a country road.)
ULISA: Where are we heading? 
YUSUF: Somewhere in Virginia.
HARI: Do you know where?
YUSUF (to Hari): Not exactly. They call it 'The Hills of Gallow', a settlement, called New Lancaster, it's the most safest place in the whole of Virginia. Secluded and free from disease.
ULISA: It sounds like a nice please to reside. 
(They come across a quite a big pathway. )
ULISA: It's quite dark, shall we proceed Yusuf? (unsure)
YUSUF: We must, this place is due to be our homeland. (smiles) 
(They start on the pathway, then five minutes later, they come across an open grassland dotted with cottages.)
HARI: 'The Hills of Gallow' a wonderful place
ULISA: Lets enter. (smiles)

(Liam smiles, and rows his boat to shur.)
LIAM: OK Mother.

KATRINA: Hi.
LIAM: What is your reason to be here?
KATRINA: I just thought kindly to give you a visit here before you go to back to your home.
LIAM: You think kindly Katrina (smiles.)
(they both look softly at eachother.)
KATRINA: Sorry to cause fright. 
(Katrina turns around and goes to walk but Liam grabs her hand.)
LIAM: No wait. 
(She turns to Liam; she grins.) 
KATRINA: You know how to catch a soft hand.
(Liam smiles and and blushes.)
KATRINA: Sorry to keep you. 
LIAM (touches her face): How can one young mistress have such a smooth gentle face. 
KATRINA: I do try (smiles)
LIAM: You do more than one, Katrina. 
KATRINA: Oh
(Liam rubs her palm.)
LIAM: Thou i shall rub your palm dear Katrina.
KATRINA: Oh you talk to a lady in such a smooth way.
(Liam leans forward slowly towards Katrina's lips; their lips both collide and they kiss.)
LIAM (Voiceover): My love with Katrina was so natural. But ofcourse sadly something catched up with me.
(Suddenly, Liam stops kissing her..and he starts to gag.)
KATRINA: Liam!!!..LIAM!!
(Then, he starts to vomit and shockingly it's blood. He gags once more. Katrina panics. He falls to his knees clutching his neck.) 
LIAM (loosing breath): Help me (cries).

(he turns around quite quickly in shock.)
LIAM: Who's there? 
(he turns back and continues to walk.)

(he turns around again, and a boy is standing infront of him; looking quite angry.)
LIAM: Who are you (looks him up and down.)
BOY: Infomation is not my quality, but what you are will be.
LIAM: What do you mean. Will be?
BOY (grins): You have no clue, do you.
(Liam snarks. The boy puts his hand out to the left beside himself into a corner, like pulling something out of a bag then he pulls out a girl from behind the corner.) 
LIAM: Who is she?
(Her neck is cut and blood is dripping from her wound.)
BOY: Your source. Liam. (he puts his finger to the cut and takes abit, then licks it.) As you drink this blood you will remember everything.
LIAM: Remember what? and why am i feeling this crave.
BOY: Liam your craving for blood, the blood is your source to make you what you are. Your father fed you blood hoping you will change, you were willing to drink that blood but now you must drink this.
LIAM: Why?

BOY: Well done liam (smiles).
(Liam releases his mouth from her neck and she falls to the floor. Liam stands with blood red eyes;smiling.)
BOY: It's time. 
(Liam falls to his knees and gags.)
BOY: Don't worry, your turning in the real world.

He takes his eyes off the fireplace and looks back to both pictures slowly, he takes a look at Katrina's photo and throws it into the fire. He puts the photo of his parents back onto the mantle-piece.Then turns around and walks out slowly and emotionlessly not to turn back ever.

LIAM (smiles): WOW that's because your the one who made me who i am so? it's kindoff your fault..Wait let's say it...It is your fault. When i step out that door, your never going to see me again.
