Chapter 15 - Alex‘s Awakening

Angle on Tim, Alex and Lily walking down the streets

Tim

“Whoa! I’m still surprised at how well you know the city!”

Lily

“Lived my whole life here, you learn a few things!”

Tim

“We lived here our whole life too, and we still don’t know a few things!”

Alex

“I just can’t believe that we were lucky enough to get tickets to this show! It’s crazy high-profile! We would never have gotten tickets from Malcom! He’s kinda cheap...”

Lily

“Yeah, I get an allowance of several thousand dollars every month, soooo-“

Tim and Alex

“SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS?!”

Lily

“(Chuckles) Yep!”

Alex

“You are my new favorite!”

A buzzing sound is heard from Lily’s pocket

Lily

“Ugh! Sorry guys, I’ll be right back!”

She walks off

Alex

“What was that about?”

Tim

“Probably Laura!”

Lily hides in an alleyway

She pulls out the Sorcerer Token

It turns on

Warwick’s Face is floating there, sorta like a hologram

Warwick

“Lilian!”

Lily

“What is it Warwick?”

Warwick

“I require your presence back at the Sorcerers’ Kingdom! Hurry, it’s very important!”

He vanishes

Lily

“Ugh!”

She walks back out

Lily

“Sorry guys, I have to go back to Wa- my mom... you guys enjoy the show without me!”

She runs off

Tim

“Bye Lily!”

Tim waves for too long

Alex

“That seemed... odd...”

Tim

“What do you mean?”

Alex

“She’s never been one to obey rules before...”

Tim

“Maybe Laura just set up some new restrictions, she hates our family remember? (walks off), I wouldn’t worry about it!”

Alex

“Yeah... okay... that seemed really hasty though...”

Intro plays

Angle on the trio eating dinner

Malcom

“Alex, you seem uncomfortable, are you alright?

Alex

“Yeah! Yeah totally!

Short silence

Tim shrugs and keeps eating

Malcom

“Uh huh, nothing bothering you then?”

Alex

“Why would anything be bothering me?”

Malcom

“Hmm...”

Alex

“Honest, I’m not suspicious about anyone, anything or-“

Malcom

“That’s enough, finish your food and, while your at it, stop lying to yourself”

Alex looks down moodily

Angle on Lily, she goes through the barrier between our world and the Sorcerers’ Kingdom

Radcliffe and Frida are standing guard

Radcliffe (greeting)

“Lily”

Lily (grudgingly)

“Radcliffe”

She walks over to Warwick’s tower

Cut inside, Warwick is sitting on his throne, very intimidating

Lily enters

Warwick (jovially)

“Hello Lilian! Welcome back!”

Lily

“Whoa... that was a contrast...”

Warwick

“What? I’m excited! It’s good to see you again!”

Lily

“Uh... you too?”

Warwick

“Delightful! Alright, let’s get down to business! I’ve got some new potions made upstairs, and I think you’ll find them very interesting!”

Cut to Alex laying awake in bed

Alex (thoughts)

“This doesn’t sit right... Where does she keep going? Why am I so concerned?”

He bolts upright

Alex

“Ugh!”

He walks out

Cut to the barrier to the sorcerers’ kingdom

Lily comes out, returning to our world

Lily

“(Makes the M sound for a prolonged amount of time)”

She walks off

Cut back to Randoms

Malcom and Tim walk into the kitchen

Malcom

“Yeah, I bought the organic waffles, they- ALEX WHY?!”

Alex is already there, red eyes (due to lack of sleep)

Alex (stiffly)

“Hello family, how are you today?”

Tim

“Alex, are you okay?”

Alex (stiffly)

“Why wouldn’t I be okay?”

Malcom

“You’re not your usual snarky self...”

Alex

“Oh, y’know. I just thought I’d try being kind for once!”

Malcom

“Okay?”

Knock on the door

Tim

“I’ll get it!”

Alex

“I’ll follow him”

Malcom

“Might be the mailman”

Tim opens the door

Lily is there

Lily

“Wazzup!”

Alex instantly wakes up

Tim & Malcom

“Hey!”

Alex (stiffly)

“Hey”

Lily

“I felt bad about missing yesterday’s show, so I decided to buy tickets to whatever you want to see!”

Tim

“\*gasp\* you didn’t!”

Lily

“Not yet!”

Tim

“Let’s see what’s out! Come on Alex”

Alex

“Nah, you guys go ahead. I’ll tag along”

Malcom

“Okay Alex, what’s up?”

Alex

“Uh-“

Malcom

“I know it’s related to Lily Boyer...”

Alex

“She’s up to something! Maybe working for her mother, or Robert! We haven’t seen him in awhile!”

Malcom

“I highly doubt-“

Alex

“Do you have any other enemies? Any that are still alive?”

Malcom

“One... my greatest enemy... but it couldn’t be him!”

Alex

“Who?!”

Malcom

“Well... Warwick, the leader of the Sorcerers, he never died... technically... I defeated him by taking his spellbook and locking him in a cursed prison, but he’s somewhere inescapable! I have the only key! It’s not really a key, but still! He’s not going anywhere! I doubt that Lily would’ve found him!”

Alex

“Where is he?”

Malcom

“Oh, under a bridge in downtown- wait... you’re planning to go there! Aren’t you?”

Alex

“Malcom, I’m snarky, not stupid! (Forced laugh)”

Malcom

“I don’t trust you...”

Alex

“You have good reason too! Anywho, I think I’ll go for a walk n-“

Malcom

“Nice try”

Alex

“I have to know!”

Malcom

“Hmm... well... you don’t... stick with Tim and Lily, enjoy their company!”

Alex (Face lightning up)

“Yeah! Okay!”

Malcom

“And if you leave them... (threateningly) there will be consequences!”

Alex (Face falling)

“Yes Malcom”

He walks off, as Malcom takes a sip of coffee

Malcom

“I mean... the barrier’s locked anyway, it wouldn’t just get weaker... \*sip\* wow, this is really bad”

Cut to them walking down the street

Lily

“We’re almost to the theater!”

Her token buzzes again

Lily (exasperated)

“Oh come on! Ugh! I’ll be right back!”

She walks off

Alex

“Hmm”

She walks into an alley

Alex spies on her from behind a wall

Lily

“What?”

Warwick’s Head appears

Warwick

“Lillian, I’ve finished your final potions for the heist. Get here as fast as you can!”

Lily

“Fine, I’ll be there in a minute Warwick!”

Alex

“Warwick?!”

Warwick

“What was that?”

Lily

“This alley’s right next to a BarStucks Coffee House”

Warwick

“I’m sorry, what?”

Lily

“How long have you been imprisoned?”

Cut to Lily sneaking toward the barrier, Alex sneaking behind her

She arrives and crosses through

Alex (quietly)

“What the?!”

He slowly walks to it and sticks his hand through

Alex looks surprised

He goes through

He gets through, spears point at him

Alex

“Uhh... hi?”

Cut to Tim

Tim (sorta carelessly)

“Where’s Alex and Lily?”

Back to Alex, being cornered by some Sorcerers

Alex

“Umm... hey?”

Radcliffe

“How many people are gonna show up this month?”

Alex

“Wait, who else did?”

Radcliffe

“Lily Boyer, she’s helping Warwick-“

Frida hits him

Frida

“Your saying too much you moron!”

Radcliffe

“Well, what?! He’ll be captured just like she was at first, before deciding to help us exact vengeance on Malcom in exchange for her freedom! I said too much”

Grey

“You said too much”

Radcliffe

“Ugh! Whatever!”

Radcliffe grabs Alex

Radcliffe

“Have fun in the dungeon!”

They start dragging him off

Alex looks up and sees Warwick and Lily through a window on the main tower

Alex

“Uh, let’s make a deal! I have to stop them and you need to get hit in the face!”

He elbows Radcliffe’s face and runs towards the tower

Radcliffe

“Stop him!”

He runs over to the tower, and looks up

Alex

“Yeah... I can definitely climb this...”

A sorcerer is next to him, in a stand selling sand

Sorcerer

“Y’know, my sand will give you amazing powers! Really! It’s crazy!”

Brief silence

Sorcerer

“Yeah... I heard myself...”

He starts climbing the tower

Alex

“See ya!”

Frida

“I’m gonna skewer him!”

Radcliffe

“Actually... let Warwick deal with him!”

Alex climbs up

Inside the tower, Warwick is showing different potions

Warwick

“This one is fire resistance, not to be confused with the fire attractant!”

Lily

“That’s useless”

Alex makes it to the window

Lily

“What the?! Alex?!”

She has spotted Alex

Warwick

“Huh?!”

He turns and sees him

Alex

“Uh-“

He lowers down slowly

Then he bursts through the window, landing on the floor in front of Lily and Warwick

Alex

“Hey Lily, how’s it going?”

Lily looks guilty

Warwick

“You know him?”

Lily

“He’s Alex, Malcom’s son...”

Warwick

“Wait... Malcom, as in Malcom Silva, adventurer and defender of the realm, has a son?”

Lily

“Two sons...”

Warwick

“Wow... that’s the most shocking thing I’ve heard all day... really...”

Alex

“Heh... you’re going down Warwick! I’m gonna tell Malcom everything! And then you’re gonna be in a world of pain!”

Warwick

“Okay”

Alex grabs a small dagger from the counter

Warwick cricks his neck

Warwick

“This’ll be fun!”

He spins his scepter and lunges

Alex

“Geez!”

The clash, the fight is on

Lily’s sorta awkwardly standing there

They fight some more until Warwick sends Alex’s dagger flying

Alex

“H’boy...”

Warwick

“That’s an understatement!”

He taps his scepter on the ground and Alex becomes frozen

Warwick

“Well if you’re anything alike Malcom, this will be well deserved”

He blasts something at Alex, it seems to be siphoning something from him

Alex is put through unimaginable pain, he’s shaking and shouting

Lily

“W-what are you doing to him?”

Warwick

“I’m removing his memories!”

Lily

“How many?!”

Warwick

“I’m not ruthless, just this day! The only side-effect would be minor headaches!”

Lily

“I-“

Alex falls to the ground

Lily is shaking

Lily

“I- I- I-“

Warwick

“Traumatized? Heh... I would be happy, you get to keep your friend...”

Warwick leaves

Lily

“Oh man...”

She turns

Lily

“I can’t do this anymore!”

Warwick

“What?”

Lily

“I can’t betray them anymore! They’re my friends! Lock me in the dungeon for all I care!”

Warwick

“\*sigh\* I was afraid you’d say that...”

He snaps his fingers

The token rises from her pocket

Lily

“Huh... but wait, you were acting so nice to me today! Oh wait, that was a facade wasn’t it...”

Warwick

“Do you honestly think I didn’t suspect your betrayal? \*chuckles\* I’m a master strategist! Betrayal is the simplest thing in the book! I enchanted this token to take your mind as well!”

Lily

“Your gonna brainwash me?”

Warwick

“I was... but now...”

He looks at Alex

Warwick

“Having a child of Malcom makes things... very convenient!”

Lily

“No!”

The token turns towards Alex and launches

Lily jumps in front of Alex

The token attaches to her

Lily

“Agh!”

Her eyes glaze over and she goes stiff

Warwick

“Pity... but you’ll do just fine I suppose...”

He snaps and Alex vanishes

Cut to black

Alex wakes up

Alex

“Ugh! I had a horrible dream! And... what time is it?”

Malcom is sitting at the foot of his bed

Malcom

“Seriously? You went back to bed after I got mad at you?”

Alex

“Uh... I guess so...”

Malcom

“Well congratulations! You’ve invoked my rage, cleanup duty for a week! Go!”

Alex

“Ugh, fine!”

He stomps off

Tim bursts in

Tim

“I’m here!”

Alex (annoyed)

“Hey Tim”

Tim (to Malcom)

“Lily vanished again”

Malcom

“Laura’s probably just trying to keep you separated”

Tim

“Yeah... I guess so!”

Door knock

Tim

“Huh”

It’s Lily

Lily

“Hey guys!”

Tim

“Hey Lily, where’d you go?”

Lily

“My mom of course, what’d you expect?”

Tim

“That’s awesome! Let’s go see that movie!”

Lily

“Alright!”

As they leave, she makes an evil face and her eyes glaze over

The end
