A Voice Waiting For Me in The Dark/Transcript

## Kai's Penthouse

*Kai is asleep. He's woken up by a noise that is coming from Luna's room. He gets up and goes to investigate*.

KAI: What are you doing?
LUNA: [yells] Leave me alone!
*Kai walks towards her*.

KAI: Baby, I'm here. You're fine.
LUNA: No! He's gonna kill me!
KAI: No one is going to hurt you.
*He puts his hand out and offers it to her*.

LUNA: [yells] Don't touch me!
*Luna throws a book at Kai. He sighs and kneels*.

LUNA: I don't want to hurt you.
KAI: We're the same baby.
LUNA: Help me, daddy!
KAI: Then take my hand.
*Luna reaches for his hand and takes it*.

KAI: Daddy's got you.
*He caresses her head*.

KAI: I've got you.
**TITLE CARD**

## The North School

BRANDON: Woah! What happened to you?
KAI: [groans] Luna had a breakdown last night.
BRANDON: She okay?
KAI: Oh. She's fine. It's not like she's cutting...
*Brandon stops in his tracks*.

BRANDON: Cutting?
KAI: [slurping] Oops. Did I say that?
BRANDON: So, my little girl is cutting now?
KAI: Look, she's been through a lot.
*Brandon shoots him a look*.

KAI: And not an excuse.
BRANDON: Home instruction was a bad idea.
KAI: If that's so, then what would her punishment be?
BRANDON: I thought that I'd never send a student again.
KAI: No!.
BRANDON: Yes. Northride.
## Docks

*Brandon and Lizzie are training. Brandon looks away and Lizzie pushes him*.

BRANDON: Good girl.
*She helps him up*.

LIZZIE: Again?
BRANDON: You're the best hunter in school. So yes, again.
*Reuben arrives and interrupts*.

REUBEN: Her form is perfect.
BRANDON: It is, isn't it?
*Brandon takes a sip of water*.

REUBEN: Clean up on aisle C.
BRANDON: He was doing so well.
## Brandon C. Marshall Suites

*Reuben and Brandon run and see other boys holding Christian back. Reuben intervenes picking him up and escorting him out of the building*.

## Brandon's Office

*Reuben sits Christian down and stands by the door*.

BRANDON: I'm very disappointed in you.
*Christian plays with a squishy on Brandon's desk*.

BRANDON: I'm going to need Headmaster North back at Northride.
CHRISTIAN: What's that?
BRANDON: You'll find out soon.
## Fields

*The cheerleaders are currently practicing. Clara, the captain is leading the girls into the finals*.

CLARA: Keep up ladies. Remember, we're in it to win it.
## The Northride School

*Reuben begins to remember what it was like before his death. Horrible memories begin to flood his memory. However, he lets them go as they are in the past*.

## Kai's Classroom

*Kai is currently teaching his class of seniors. However, when he looks up, he sees that one of his students aren't paying attention*.

KAI: [bitterly] Ms. Parker? Am I boring you? Because you're always welcoming to take a trip to the famous bench... outside of my classroom.
*Clara shakes her head*.

CLARA: [stammers] Um... No sir.
KAI: That's what I thought. Now, because you fell asleep, you will read aloud for me.
CLARA: Sir I...
KAI: Now, or get out.
*Clara begins to read out loud from the textbooks*.

## Brandon's Office

*Brandon is looking out the window when Elizabeth walks in*.

ELIZABETH: Are you okay?
BRANDON: [sighs] I'm never okay. I know I've asked this question before, but why me?
*Elizabeth walks over to Brandon, and lays her head on his shoulder*.

ELIZABETH: These kids, they need you, and Justin would've wanted you to continue on.
BRANDON: Well, Justin is dead and...
*Elizabeth scowls at him*.

BRANDON: [stammers] My bad, gosh. It's just that, I haven't been myself lately.
ELIZABETH: Well in case you didn't realize, you're never yourself so, there's no difference there.
*Elizabeth walks out and Kai walks in with a file in his hands. He throws the file on Brandon's desk*.

BRANDON: What now?
KAI: Well, normally I wouldn't care, but for some reason I do.
BRANDON: About?
KAI: One of my student's grades are heavily dropping.
*Brandon rolls his eyes*.

BRANDON: Laurent? I mean if he wants to go to the NFL, he's gonna have to up his game.
KAI: Who? I don't have him.
BRANDON: Right. Masters.
KAI: Christian is a wolf. I don't teach wolves.
*Kai looks at him impatiently*.

KAI: And they say my brother is slow. I'm talking about Clara.
BRANDON: Well there's always an opening for a new cheer captain.
KAI: Don't jump to that. Let's see how she does first.
## Kai's Classroom

CLARA: What the hell was that?
KAI: Language Ms. Parker.
CLARA: I don't see anyone here but us.
KAI: What do you want?
CLARA: Why are you hard on me?
*Kai stands up and walks towards her. He points a finger at her*.

KAI: You know the answer to that.
CLARA: Why? Is it because I'm your granddaughter?
KAI: You know exactly why.
CLARA: [sighs] I don't know how I'm related to someone like you.
KAI: You don't mean that.
CLARA: NO. I mean this. I hate you.
*Clara storms out of the room leaving Kai highly disturbed*.

## Dining Hall

*Clara sits down with the rest of the cheerleaders*.

GIRL: That's your lunch? A brownie and a pretzel?
CLARA: Don't forget the ice cream.
GIRL: You need your strength for this afternoon.
CLARA: I'm sure you guys will do fine without me.
*Clara sighs and picks up her brownie. However before she can take a bite, her friend stops her*.

GIRL: What's going on?
CLARA: We got into it again. It was bad. I told him that I hate him.
*Kai hears Clara through his super hearing*.

CLARA: I think I was just upset with myself, and so I lashed out at him.
GIRL: Well, stress eating isn't gonna help you. Go get your waffle and stop acting like a fool.
*Clara gets up and goes to get a waffle*.

KAI: I know you didn't mean what you said.
CLARA: [scoffs] Really? I meant it.
KAI: I heard you.
CLARA: Fine. Maybe I didn't.
KAI: The truth is, I'm hard on you because you're my best student.
CLARA: [stammers] I knew that.
KAI: I'm sure you d...
*Clara hugs Kai. At first he's reluctant but eventually gives in*.

CLARA: I love you.
KAI: [chuckles] How could I not love you? MMM? If you ever need help, you know where to find me.
*She walks away and forgets her plate*.

KAI: Forgetting something?
CLARA: What? I'm not forgetting anything.
KAI: Your waffle?
CLARA: Yeah. Thanks.
## Brandon's Office

*Elizabeth is trying to get pieces of wood and silver out of Brandon's skin. He's heavily sweating. Luna is holding his hand while looking away*.

ELIZABETH: Almost...
*Brandon yells. As he's yelling Elizabeth pulls out a shard of wood from Brandon's back*.

LUNA: Holy...
*Luna doesn't finish her sentence due to the fact that Brandon gives her a stern look*.

LUNA: What happened?
ELIZABETH: Wolve traps.
LUNA: That should've been me. Not you.
*Elizabeth and Brandon look up at Luna. The room goes into an awkward silence*.

LUNA: Have fun getting the silver out. I hear it's the most painful part.
*Brandon scrunches his face. However, when Elizabeth puts the tweezers in his skin, he begins yelling once more*.

ELIZABETH: Got it!
*Elizabeth pulls a long piece of silver out of his chest*.

ELIZABETH: That wasn't bad. Wasn't it?
BRANDON: [sarcastically & slurred] No. It didn't hurt at all.
*Elizabeth takes a washcloth and dips it in a bowl of warm water. She cleans his cuts and wounds*.

## Vincenté's Classroom

*Luna knocks on the door. Vincenté tells her to come in. She finds him sitting at a desk. He looks up and smiles at her*.

LUNA: Hi, gramps.
VINCENTÉ: Your the person that I was just coming to see.
LUNA: Really? What for?
VINCENTÉ: The fact that you've been showing up late. It concerns me.
*Luna sighs*.

LUNA: Honestly, do I have to take your class?
*Vincenté raises an eyebrow*.

VINCENTÉ: This class might be the most important class that you take in all of your life.
LUNA: Are you forgetting that this is a lecture?
VINCENTÉ: Luna, look at me. You might not want to here this, but I will say it until it gets into your head.
*He signals her to sit beside him*.

VINCENTÉ: The world we live in, is no joke. You're a young supernatural living in a society where you'll never be truly accepted. I chose to open this school, to protect children like you.
*Luna puts her head down. When she does this, Vince lifts her chin up*.

VINCENTÉ: I don't want to see anything happen to you, or anyone else. I've seen what it's like to live in fear.
LUNA: You have?
VINCENTÉ: [sighs] I've never told anyone about my parents. Not even Reuben.
*Reuben is standing outside of the door. He's been listening for a while now*.

VINCENTÉ: Our bloodline goes back to Salem. When I say Salem, I'm talking about the 1600's.
LUNA: You mean the Salem witch trials?
VINCENTÉ: [nods his head] My father was burned at the stake.
*When Reuben hears this his jaw drops. Sadness can instantly be seen in his eyes*.

VINCENTÉ: Our ancestors were burned at the stake.
*Luna lays her head in Vincenté's lap. He softly strokes it*.

LUNA: Papa? I don't wanna die.
VINCENTÉ: [chuckles slightly] You're not going to die monkey, and I'm not going to let anyone harm you. Ever. Not as long as my blood runs through you.
*Luna looks up at Vince and smiles*.

LUNA: Do you think I can do better?
VINCENTÉ: I believe you can do much better.
*They both stand up. Vincenté hugs Luna. She holds onto him for dear life*.

VINCENTÉ: You're gonna be okay, monkey. I promise.
## Brandon's Office

*Brandon is sitting at his desk when a group of students walk into his office. This group is the core 4*.

ELIAS: You've summoned us?
BRANDON: [smirks] Did I?
*Sage looks at Elias and shakes his head*.

BRANDON: I know I did. We're gonna do something fun.
LUNA: Dad, when you say something fun what is it exactly?
*Suddenly Kai runs in the room*.

KAI: I'm here.
LUNA: Seriously? You called him too?
BRANDON: As I was saying. We're gonna do something fun.
LUNA: And what's "fun" exactly?
BRANDON: Road trip.
*Kai's eyes widen. Luna holds onto her stomach*.

LUNA: Where's the trash can? Because I'm gonna need it.
SAGE: Mr. M. No. That's not cool. If we're gonna do this, can we do it in style?
BRANDON: Style? I know all about style.
*They all roll their eyes at Brandon*.

## The North School - Outside

*The 4 stand at the front gates waiting for Brandon to show up. Suddenly, they can hear music blasting from the radio and they hear a car horn*.

SAGE: A Suburban? Damn Mr. M. Didn't think you had it in you.
*Brandon smirks and gets out of the car*.

LUNA: Well, if we're gonna be "riding in style", then I call front seat.
KAI: So, you're gonna make me sit in the back with them?
ELIAS: Well, If I may recall I am the oldest one here, right buddy?
BRANDON: Alright, chill out. We're gonna have a nice drive and be normal.
*Sage hovers Brandon*.

SAGE: We're not normal.
*Brandon hits Sage*.

BRANDON: Will, you sit down?
## Unknown Route/Disneyland

*Brandon is driving. He's enjoying the nice weather. Kai is sitting in the back with a frown on his face due to the fact that Sage and Elias are on opposite sides of him. Luna who is sitting in the front seat has her earbuds in, and looks like she's napping*.

*Just as Kai is about to doze off, Elias pokes Sage. This provkes Sage and the boys began rough housing. This annoys Kai. Brandon begins yelling at the boys to settle down*.

BRANDON: Oh guys, come on! Leave each other alone.
*Minutes later, Sage hovers over Luna's seat and taps her. She rolls her eyes and looks back at him*.

LUNA: Yes, doofus?
*Brandon turns his head and looks at Luna. He flicks her head*.

LUNA: Ow!
BRANDON: Luna, come one now. No need for such negativity.
*She puts her earbuds back in. Just as everything seems to be okay, Kai begins complaining. After he starts complaining everyone begins to complain*.

KAI: I'm hungry.
SAGE: Yeah, and I'm hot.
*Luna rolls her eyes*.

LUNA: [sarcastically] This is so much fun dad!
*The car stops. Everyone is confused for a moment*.

SAGE: Mr. M. Why we stop?
BRANDON: Because I'm trying to be nice.
KAI: How?
BRANDON: Welcome to Disneyland.
*Luna looks back at the boys, and then back at Brandon*.

KAI: I'm sorry. You've brought me to hell?
SAGE: You brought us to Disney? For what?
BRANDON: So you can run wild.
LUNA: [confused] So you like brought tickets and everything?
BRANDON: No. We're just gonna run in and yea.
ELIAS: Nice one.
*Brandon reaches into one of the cars compartments. He pulls out an envelope and hands everyone a ticket*.

BRANDON: Just try to...
*When Brandon turns around the car is empty*.

BRANDON: Stay together.
## Disneyland

*Brandon is still in the car. He still trying to recover from the fact that three of his students have literally disappeared. His phone suddenly rings. A light can be seen in his eyes, but it quickly dissipates as it's no one other than Reuben*.

REUBEN: [voice over] Where are you?
BRANDON: Somewhere. Why?
REUBEN: [voice over] Where are the kids? Is Kai with you?
BRANDON: Calm down. Yes Kai is with the kids.
REUBEN: Are you...
BRANDON: Not in Santa Monica.
REUBEN: Great. So you decided to ditch?
*Brandon shakes his head in agreement*.

BRANDON: Kind of. What's wrong?
REUBEN: Well, its just that one of the kids are missing.
BRANDON: [pauses] What?
REUBEN: [voice over] One of the little kids.
BRANDON: Shit.
REUBEN: Yes. Well, wherever you are, I suppose you find your little minions and bring them back.
BRANDON: We're at Disney.
REUBEN: What the hell Brandon? Are you okay?
BRANDON: Well, ever since you called me, no. I haven't.
*Brandon hangs up*.

*Sage and Luna are laughing. They get on a ferris wheel. A few minutes later, something in Sage's pocket begins buzzing*.

LUNA: Is that? You've got the school phone?
SAGE: What? Mr. M trusts me.
*The phone keeps buzzing. The caller I.D. reads "Brandon Marshall". Sage picks the phone up*.

SAGE: Mr. M?
BRANDON: [off screen] Finally you picked up. Where are you?
*Luna snatches the phone from Sage*.

LUNA: Daddy, trust us. Please?
BRANDON: [off screen] Luna? Where's Elias?
LUNA: Above us?
BRANDON: [off screen] Oh, so he's with you?
LUNA: I guess?
BRANDON: [off screen] Nice. Where's Kai?
LUNA: No clue.
*Sage takes the phone back*.

SAGE: Kai is literally the worst babysitter ever.
*Kai looks up at Sage*.

KAI: I'm right here!
*Sage rolls his eyes and hands Kai the phone*.

KAI: Who's this?
BRANDON: [off screen] Jesus.
KAI: Well then, I'm gonna hang up, because you and I both know that I'm not getting into Heaven's gates.
BRANDON: [off screen] A kid is missing. Reuben says it's one of the little kids.
KAI: So...
BRANDON: [off screen] Bring the kids back.
KAI: [groans & sighs] Fine.
## Brandon's Office

ELIZABETH: Kiernan found a note in Ryan's room.
BRANDON: So they have Ryan?
ELIZABETH: No. Ryan is with Vince.
BRANDON: So if they didn't take Ryan, who's missing?
*Liliana enters the room*.

LILIANA: They took my little girl.
*Brandon looks up with a sinister, dark look on his face*.

BRANDON: They took Lizzie?
REUBEN: The note is from James.
*Brandon stands up and throws a glass bottle on the ground*.

BRANDON: [yells] This bastard just waged war!
*He looks up at Liliana and walks over to her. He brings her into a hug*.

BRANDON: [softly] We're gonna find her. I promise. We're gonna bring her back.
*Brandon looks up at Reuben who is still standing there*.

BRANDON: [yells] Do your damn job, chief!
*Everyone looks at Brandon with shock in their eyes*.

BRANDON: [angrily yells] Get out!
## James' Residence

*Lizzie is sitting on the cold concrete floor. She looks scared. Suddenly the cell door opens*.

ARIA: What are you doing down here? How'd you get here?
*Lizzie shrugs her shoulders. She doesn't remember anything or how she ended up in the cell*.

ARIA: You must be cold.
LIZZIE: [nods head] I wanna go home!
*Aria nods her head*.

ARIA: We're gonna get you home I promise.
*Aria pulls her phone out of her pocket*.

ARIA: Mr. Marshall? I know you may be mad at me, but if I can make up for all of the nonsense that's happened this year maybe this is it.
*She sighs*.

ARIA: I know that you're looking for Lizzie. I know where she is. She's in a cell. Inside my house.
*She looks down*.

ARIA: Honestly, I know I screwed up, and you're probably fed up with me, but I'll do anything to win your trust again.
*Brandon sighs*.

BRANDON: [voice over] Sweetheart, we all make mistakes. I'm not mad at you. I know you think that I hate you ever since your fight with my daughter.
ARIA: But...
BRANDON: [voice over] No buts. And I mean it.
ARIA: I'm gonna bring her back.
BRANDON: [voice over] And if you get hurt, it'll all be on me.
ARIA: I'm not going to get hurt in the first place.
BRANDON: [voice over; sighs] Fine. Do it...
ARIA: Discreetly. I know.
## The North School

*Brandon makes his way down to the security office. Before he can enter, he's hit in the back of the head. He quickly loses consciousness. His body is being dragged by the mysterious figure that was previously seen outside in the school woods*.

## Werewolf Transition Space

*Brandon is still knocked out. The mysterious figure takes his hood off. He reveals himself to be James*.

## The North School - Front Gates

*Aria takes her card out and swipes it. This is how she is able to enter the building. Reuben looks up and stops her. However, he looks down and sees that Lizzie is holding her hand*.

REUBEN: You found her?
ARIA: I did what Mr. Marshall wanted me to do.
REUBEN: How'd you know where she was?
ARIA: It's a long story. I really need to see him. Like now.
REUBEN: [sighs] Alright. But make it quick.
## Brandon's Office

*Aria knocks on the door. She doesn't hear a response, so she opens the door anyway. She doesn't see anyone and realizes that the room is totally isolated*.

## The North School - Front Gates

REUBEN: That was awfully quick.
ARIA: [panting] That's because he's not there. I even checked his room.
*Reuben sits up, taking his feet off of the desk. He picks up his radio*.

REUBEN: [into radio] Headmaster Marshall?
*There's no response. Aria looks worried*.

REUBEN: [into radio] Headmaster Marshall?
*Reuben sighs*.

REUBEN: [into radio] Elizabeth?
*Radio beeps*.

ELIZABETH [voice over]: Go ahead.
REUBEN: [into radio] Any intel about Headmaster Marshall's whereabouts?
ELIZABETH: [voice over] No.
REUBEN: [into radio] Code Red.
## Werewolf Transition Space

*James strokes Brandon's head. He smiles deviously. Brandon begins to regain consciousness. However, his memory is fuzzy*.

BRANDON: What?
JAMES: Good you're awake. But you won't be awake for long.
BRANDON: Where?
JAMES: Don't worry. I'm here now, Brandon Marshall.
