It's Evening. Open with a pan over Manhattan's busy streets. Cut to a street where maintenance is being done. There are work crews and barricades. We angle in on a manhole that is uncovered. A police car drives up and stops just outside the barricade. James and Jeff jump out of the car and run in to the work area. Just then the ground begins to shake. People all around start screaming and grasping on to what ever they can get a hold of.
Jeff - (tries to steady himself) What is going on?!
The ground stops shaking and the people who had just experienced the quake look around confused. Just then a couple of people gasp in shock and point to the uncovered manhole. Serena and Chris climb up. James and Jeff run over to help them out. James and Jeff each give Chris a dirty look knowing what he's done.
Jeff - Mrs. Summers, are you okay?
Serena - (catches her breath but is slightly panicked) Eve and Alex are still down there. Bobby went back to go get them!
Jeff - That quake might have caused a cave in! They could be trapped!
Jeff and James make their way over to the man hole when they are stopped by some of the maintenance workers.
Worker - Where do you think you're going?
Jeff - My friends are down there and they could be in trouble.
Worker - You can't go down there! If people are down there then you have to let a crew find them!
Jeff - (Takes out his badge) I'm with the police. I need to . . .
Serena - Bobby!!
Jeff turns around to find Bobby covered with dirt climbing out of the man hole. Jeff helps him out.
James - Where's Eve?
Eve - (voice) Right here.
Eve pops her head out of the manhole as she climbs out. She too is covered in dirt. James helps her out and pulls her into an embrace. Jeff looks around.
Jeff - (gravely) Where's Alex?
Eve - Thuvan has her. Thuvan has Alex!
Cut to darkness. A torch is lit and we see Thuvan in Craig's body. He lights a few more torches. A tomb is being lit.
Thuvan - Bring her in!
Two guards carry Alex's frozen body into the tomb and lay her on an alter. Demon monks come in and stand at the side.
Thuvan - Have the chains been covered?
Demon - Yes
Thuvan - Shackle her and release the spell
The guards chain Alex to the alter then the monks whisper an incantation to release the spell and Alex's limbs go limp. As soon as she realizes she's free from the spell she struggles against the chains to try and break them. After a few minutes she begins to panic when she realizes the chains are not breaking. Thuvan begins to laugh
Alex - What have you done to me!?!
Thuvan - Don't worry. Your godhood is still intact. The chains have merely been coated in Golden Hines blood. It weakens you.
Alex - There are no Golden Hines left!
Thuvan - There are in the Elysian fields. You would be surprised at how persuasive henchmen of Lucifer can be in obtaining such things.
Alex - You're sick!!
Thuvan – No. I'm determined. I want something back and you’re going to help me get it
Alex - I know you want Fraysa! But you won't really be getting her back! If you try to jam her soul into my body, I'll fight against her to gain control.
Thuvan – Not if I use Hines blood to weaken you and separate your soul from your body long enough for my love to gain control.
Alex - (panicking) The consequences of you actions . . .!!!
Thuvan – I don't care! I would risk everything to get my wife back.
Alex - Why me? Eve knows what you're planning to do. Even if you succeed, she won't late hate over take her.
Thuvan - Lucifer's plans are not my plans. You're the perfect vessel for Fraysa. Once she is a demigod, no one will be able to harm her ever again (leans down close to Alex) And Craig seems rather fond of you too!
Alex spits in his face. Thuvan recoils back and wipes the spit from his face. He them slams his hands down on either side of Alex's head and leans down close to her.
Thuvan - Lucky for you, I like feisty women!
Thuvan trails his tongue up the side of Alex's face as she grimaces. He moves away from her and turns to the monks
Thuvan - Begin the ritual!
We pan out from the alter as demon monks circle around the alter. We hear Alex's screams in the distance
Alex (voice) NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Cut to outside the Centre. A police car stops in front of the centre. Eve and Jeff get out of the front seats and Serena Bobby and Chris get out of the back. Eve goes over to the doors to unlock them.
Cut to inside the centre. It's dark as it had been closed by evening. Eve turns on the lights and walks in with the others behind her. She takes of her jacket and throws it with fury over the bar. It smashes some bottles. Eve closes her eyes and pulls her hair away from her face and breathes deeply.
Serena – Eve, I'm so sorry. This is all our fault.
Eve - It's no ones fault.
Jeff - Sure it is! (nods his head over to Chris) It's his
Chris – I didn't know part of the plan was to take Alex. I swear.
Bobby - No, you just wanted to get your dark magic fix!
Eve - What Lucifer and his henchmen do best is exploit weaknesses and manipulate people. Thuvan is a worthy protégé.
Chris – So, it's not my fault?
Eve - (looks directly at Chris) You need help! But right now I just want to get Alex back.
Jeff - How are we going to do that? We don't even know where she is. And even if we do get her back, Thuvan will come after her again.
Eve - Which makes Thuvan's mission simple. Get Alex to get back Fraysa. If he's focused on that he won't be spending his time hurting more innocents
Natalie - (voice) A word of caution: Before you cut of the dragon's head, make sure it does not grow another one more deadly.
Eve turns around to see Natalie standing in the door way with James behind her.
Natalie - Thuvan might continue to hurt innocents in an attempt to force Alex out of hiding, should you get her back.
James - I brought her like you asked. (James throws Jeff car keys back to him.)
Eve - If Thuvan wants to get Alex he will have to come straight to me. He's so close to having what he wants and he'll do what ever it takes for his lover's soul. But I need to get her back first. I need you to . . .
Natalie - Find where Thuvan has taken Alex. I can search the Psychic Expanse. I was close to her long enough to already have an imprint of her energy in my mind.
Serena- The Expanse?
Natalie - The world is full of energy. This energy can be fueled by a person's emotion, soul or mind. That energy can leave traces on the plain known to psychics as the Expanse. I know Alex's energy but I don't know if her imprint is strong enough in my mind.
Serena - Is there anything I can do to help?
Natalie - You raised Alex like a daughter right? Your memories of her can help get me a clearer reading.
Serena nods. Natalie goes to the middle of the gym floor and opens her bag. She takes out a few candles incense and crystals. Serena picks one up.
Serena - Concentration crystals. I haven't seen these in a long while. Some of my family used them in training.
Natalie - I know you feel guilty. But everyone including your children make their own choices. You did what you did in the beginning to protect them.
Serena - If only we had encouraged them and helped harness their ability and gift. Maybe Chris would have turned out differently and things for Craig would have been different too.
Chris hangs his head a little in shame and Eve goes over to Serena and puts her hand on her shoulder.
Eve - Don't focus on the past. You can make a difference now. Help Natalie search the expanse for Alex so we can find her and save her. We just might be able to save Craig too.
Serena - (smiles) Craig spoke very fondly of you. He said you possessed a wisdom of love.
Eve - I was able to rediscover that because of him.
Natalie - We're ready. James, I will need your help too.
Bobby - I would like to be of some assistance.
Chris - Me too.
Jeff - Can we trust you?
Chris - Craig is my brother. I have to help. I know I did some crappy things but I want to make up for it.
Natalie looks to Eve and she nods. Bobby puts his hand on Chris's shoulder and gives him a nod of approval. Bobby and Chris walk with James to sit in a circle with Serena and Natalie. As Serena sits down she sees the crystals set up in a pattern to help with concentration. Serena puts the crystal she was still holding in the pattern to complete it. Natalie smiles. Natalie James Bobby Chris and Serena hold hands close their eyes and begin to concentrate. Jeff and Eve look on. Eve closes her eyes.
Eve - (whisper to herself) Eli watch over Alex. Rid her heart of fear, fill it with love and hope and let her know we will find her and bring her back.
Cut back to the five sitting in a circle. Natalie begins whispering. It is incoherent at first but we realize she is chanting. We pan around the circle at the faces then close in on Natalie's.
Cut to a search of the Expanse. Yellow blue and white lights zoom past us as we blast through toward the light. A flash of light appears and fades out. We see a dark room lit with torches. Everything seems to be moving in slow motion. Monks move around an alter. We move in closer to the alter and Alex is laying there. She is chained and seems to be unconscious. A black X is being painted on her forehead and the light surrounding her is fading away as wisps of light fly into an urn. Around this urn more monks are chanting and holding crosses around it. We pan out and see Thuvan at the edge smiling as he looks on. We pan out further to see where this room is and discover it's a tomb in a cemetery. The writing over to door says, "In dedication to the family of Evans." There is another flash of light and we drawn back though the tunnel of yellow blue and white light.
Natalie opens her eyes in shock.
Natalie - He's in a tomb. Evans!
Serena - That's my family's tomb! Relatives on my mother's side have been buried there for years, including my mother!
Eve - I know the cemetery that's in. Craig brought me there before. Everyone needs to stay here. One person can get in better than half a dozen. It's safer this way.
Jeff - I'll go with you! You’ll need a lift
James - Eve! Be careful
Eve smiles and runs out of the centre with Jeff behind her.
Cut to inside the tomb. We pan away from Alex who is laying unconscious on the alter over to a Demon Monk standing beside Thuvan
Demon Monk - We have completed the transference of the girl's soul to the urn. She is an inch from death. Why do we not inflict a mortal wound with the Hines blood. It's the only true way to kill a god. Once the connection between soul and body is completely severed it will be much easier for Fraysa's soul to control the girl's body once they've merged. . .
Thuvan grabs the demon Monk by the throat.
Thuvan - I want my wife to have the power of a demi god. I do not want to kill that off. I have faith in my wife's will to be with me. She will be strong enough to become the dominant force. No one will ever be able to kill her and she will never be taken away from me again.
Thuvan stops short as a priest is dragged in my two demon monks. The monks slice his arm and the young priest screams. The blood from his arm trickles down his arm and a monk holds a small vial up to the wound to capture the blood. Thuvan walks over to the scared young priest. The priest starts whispering the "Our Father".
Thuvan - Shut up. I'm not going to kill you. All I need is a drop of holy man's blood to complete the spell to bring my dear sweet Fraysa's soul to earth.
A demon monk pulls the priest over and throws him in the corner of the tomb. The other monk who has the vial of blood pours it into the urn as the monks are still chanting. A bright light appears. The light is warm and bright like the sun. Thuvan stands there basking in the warmth while all the other monks cower and try to hide in the shadows but the light fills the whole tomb. Little white lights trickle down into the urn and all the light is sucked into the urn. A demon monk who was cowering goes over to the urn and looks inside.
Demon Monk 2 - The souls are merging.
Thuvan - (looking excited) Quickly bring the urn over. Put the merged soul into the body!!
The monks put the urn at the head of the alter. Thuvan quickly kisses Alex's forehead right on the where the black X was painted on then moves out of the way as the monks surround the alter.
Demon Monks (in unison) Great Lucifer King of Hell give us strength to complete this task! Osiris, God of death, let us pass through your veil of life and death and bring the souls of two together and make one.
Cuts begin to appear on the arms of the demons and their black blood oozes from their wounds.
Demons Monks - OSIRIS, LET THESE SOULS PASS THROUGH YOUR VIEL OF LIFE AND DEATH. MERGE THESE SOULS AS ONE AND GIVE THIS BODY LIFE!!!
The demons eyes begin to glow bright red as they shout spells in an ancient language.
The light from the urn travels from the urn and spreads out over Alex's body. It fades into Alex's body and a moment of stillness passes. A flash of bright light suddenly emits from Alex and the monks are knocked off their feet. A light mist surrounds the tomb now. Thuvan walks over the monks lying dead on the ground.
Thuvan walks over to Alex's body and takes her hand and strokes her hair.
Thuvan - Fraysa? Open your eyes. Awake my love.
Alex eyes snap open and takes a deep intake of breath. She sits up in shock. She is gasping and looking around in panic.
Thuvan - Fraysa! Fraysa calm down!!
Alex (Fraysa) - WHO ARE YOU???? WHAT IS THIS??? WHERE AM I?????
Alex jumps off the alter and sees the demon bodies lying dead on the ground. She begins screaming in terror. Thuvan comes up from behind and grabs her to keep her still. She continues to scream and struggle against Thuvan's grip
Thuvan - FRAYSA WE HAD TWO CHILDREN. ONE WAS NAMED HORACE AND THE OTHER WAS OMAR . . .
Alex stops struggling and screaming. She is still confused and panicked. She is now gasping and breathing heavy.
Thuvan - (calmer now that Alex stopped screaming) Why did I name them as such?
Alex (Fraysa) - (in a small voice) You had a dream . . . You heard those names the night before . . . I gave birth to Horace. You said it was a sign.
We realize now this is indeed Fraysa in Alex's body as does Thuvan. He turns her around to face him.
Thuvan - (smiles happily) I never told anyone but you! My love, you won! You've become the dominant spirit of the new body I've given you!!
Alex (Fraysa) - (unsure of everything) Thuvan?
Thuvan - Yes!!!
Thuvan brings Fraysa into his embrace and wraps his arms tight around her. Fraysa in Alex's body still looks scared as she is wrapped in Thuvan's embrace.
COMMERCIAL
Cut to inside the tomb. Thuvan is sitting on the alter holding Fraysa, in Alex's body, in his arms. We pan over to the dark corner where the priest is crouched.
Having seen the whole thing as what he thinks is a most unholy act, the priest takes a deep breath to try and regulate his shallow breathing. He slowly stands up sliding up the wall while still applying pressure to the wounds. He looks around the tomb at the dead demon monks lying on the ground. He sees the entrance to the tomb unguarded. Seeing Thuvan's back is turned to him the young priest inches slowly toward the entrance. Once he reaches it he bolts out the door. Thuvan quickly turns around hearing the scuffle of feet. He looks into the corner and finds the priest gone. He turns back to Fraysa who looks to him confused in her already muddled state.
Thuvan - Fraysa, my love, we must leave. It's no longer safe here.
Cut to the cemetery late at night. The young priest is running past the tomb stones that scatter the grounds trying to get away as fast as he can.
Cut to a car pulling up to the side of the road. It's Jeff and Eve. Eve gets out of the car and nods to Jeff. She begins to make her way to the "Evans Tomb". Eve jogs along trying to pick up the pace and keeps a look out. She stops when she hears rustling. She looks around. Upon turning her head to look to her left something comes out from behind a tree at her right. It knocks her over. It's the priest. He scrabbles to get to his feet in a panic. Before he can run away again Eve grabs his arm.
Priest - (out of breath and panicked) You have to help me. .. Demons . . . everywhere . . . dead . . .
Eve - Calm down! It will be alright. Tell me, where are these demons?
Priest - In a tomb.
Eve - Why? What were they doing?
Priest - I don't know. The man . . . he said . . . he said he needed my blood . . . to take a soul from heaven!
Eve - (takes a look at his arms that is covered in dried blood) Go to the street. There's a man there who will clean up your arm and see about getting you to a hospital.
As he turns to leave she turns him back
Eve - Was there a woman with them?
Priest – Yes. When she woke she was terrified.
Eve - (nods and turns the priest back toward the direction of Jeff's car) Go on.
Eve continues to make her way to the tomb.
Cut to just outside the tomb. Eve hears sees a faint light and a voice from inside.
Thuvan - (voice from inside the tomb) We have to leave. That priest will find someone and our cover will be blown.
Eve turns and walks right into the tomb.
Eve – Kaboom.
Thuvan whips around and sees Eve standing there
Eve - I want my friend back now.
Thuvan lets out a growl and charges at Eve. Eve flips over him. Thuvan runs strait to the wall and runs up. He kicks himself off the wall and flips backward to land in front of Eve blocking her way again. She looks at him stunned.
Thuvan - I've spent two thousand years honing my skills Livia. I'm not letting you take me out a second time.
Thuvan charges at Eve swinging punches at her. Eve dodges the jabs and punches and ducks under one swing. As she does she grabs Thuvan's arms and pops in out of its socket. Thuvan glares at Eve and pops his arm back in place. Thuvan jumps up and bicycle kicks Eve in the face a few times. She stumbles back on the alter which Fraysa, in Alex's body, has hidden behind. Thuvan runs and jumps up to jam his elbow in Eve's face but Eve dodges to the side and knees Thuvan in the stomach. He gets off Eve clutching his stomach winded. Eve cart wheels over Thuvan's bended form and grabs his back She flips him over by the wall, he lands on his feet still clutching his sides and Eve kicks him in the hip so he crashes into the wall and hits his head. Eve turns back to look at Alex.
Fraysa catches Eve's face for the first time and she realizes who it is. Fraysa faints.
Eve looks at Alex confused. She whips her head to the side as she hears a groan coming over by the wall. Thuvan is slowly getting up. Eve jumps over the alter and picks Alex up. Eve slings Alex across her shoulders and is weighed down.
Eve - Ugh! Alex you have got to lose some weight!
Eve makes her way out of the tomb as fast as she can with Alex on her shoulders. Thuvan watches them leave in horror. He tries to get up to go after them but slumps back down to the floor in pain. He gets up again and staggers to the entrance of the tomb.
Cut to outside the tomb in the cemetery. Eve is running past the head stones and around trees slightly hunched over with Alex on her shoulders. She makes it to the road when Jeff comes skidding down the street and up on the curb. He screeches to a halt in front of Eve and jumps out of the car and open the door to the backseat.
Jeff - Get in!!
Eve - Where's the priest?
Jeff - I got him patched up and on his way! Now come on!!!
Eve puts Alex in the back seat and the climbs in with her. Jeff runs back around to the front. He jumps in and speeds off down the road. Eve looks out the back window to see Thuvan running out to the middle of the road.
Cut to Thuvan who ran out into the middle of the road. He watches in horror as the card speeds away
Thuvan - AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Cut to inside the centre. Natalie, James, and the Summers family are all waiting inside as Jeff runs in with Eve carrying Alex. They carefully place Alex's unconscious form down on the floor.
Eve - James get some pillows from my apartment!!
James nods and runs to get them
Serena - What happened? Is she alright?
Eve - I don't know. We might be too late
Eve checks over Alex and finds a puncture wound in her arm like it's from some sort of needle
Eve - What is that?
Chris-(looking over Eve) She might have been injected with something. (they all look up at Chris with confused looks and he shrugs with a bit of shame) I've . . . uh . . . done stuff like injections before
Serena and Bobby sigh and Eve goes back to look over Alex.
Eve - A priest was running out of the tomb on my way there. He said they used his blood.
Jeff - For what?
Eve - I don't know. Natalie what do you think?
Natalie - I don't know what to think. I have no idea what's involved in these rituals. This is way out of my league
James runs down into the main area with pillows and blankets on hand. He hands a few to Eve who puts the pillows under Alex's head gently.
Times Elapses as they all wait for Alex to wake up. We fade from one scene to another. Jeff and James move Alex upstairs to Eve's apartment, Eve walking down the stairs to the centre having changed and washed, Natalie looks over Alex, the Summers family wait downstairs by the bar.
Cut to Alex lying on the couch. Her head moves slightly and she lets out a moan. Eve runs to her side.
Eve - Alex?
Alex - Eve? (gets up slightly)
Eve runs to her apartment door and calls down the stairs
Eve - She's up!!!
Eve runs back to the couch as Alex sits up straight but grabs her head in pain
Alex - Ow!
Eve - Hey take it easy. You had us very worried. Are you okay?
Alex - Compared to what?
James, Jeff, Natalie and the Summers family walk into Eve's apartment and crowd around the couch
Eve - Do you remember anything that happened?
Alex - How I got here? No. The last thing I remember was being chained to an alter. Thuvan coated the chains in Hinds Blood.
Natalie - He just doesn't stop breaking the rules does he?
Alex - (shakes her head) I couldn't break free. He also injected me with it. I was completely knocked out after that
Eve - That must be what the puncture wound is from. I'm surprised it didn't kill you.
Alex - I have mortal blood remember. The only way to kill me is to use the blood and give me a fatal wound.
Alex swings her legs off the couch and stands up quickly. As she stands she almost falls over. Eve and James catch her
Alex - Whoa!! I guess that Hinds blood has some lasting effects . . . Oh okay, the room is spinning
Natalie - That blood could have kept you in a semi death state just long enough to get your soul and merge it with another.
Eve - (to Alex)Do you feel any diff . . .?
Alex begins to scream. She clutches her head and falls to the ground in pain. Everyone gathers around to try and find out what's wrong
Eve - Alex? Alex! What's wrong???
Alex stops screaming all of a sudden. She let's go of her head. She looks around at her surroundings. She stands up and looks to James. She gasps slightly and stumbles back into Eve. Alex turns around quickly and looks at Eve
Alex screams in fear as she runs around looking for a way out. She looks at her strange surroundings and is blocked by people who are confused by her actions. She finally runs into a corner by the door and crouches down shaking and crying. She whimpers
Alex (Fraysa) - Livia . . . .Livia . . . .
Serena lets out a gasp of surprise while everyone looks to Eve. Eve sits down sadly and puts her head in her hands suspecting the worse. Natalie walks over to Alex. She bends down slowly. Alex looks at her and begins clawing at the wall as if it was a way to get out. Natalie takes Alex's hands and she struggles a bit
Natalie - It's okay. I'm not going to hurt you.
Alex is still whimpering and Natalie puts Alex's hands down. Natalie lifts her own hands and lays them at either side of Alex's head. She looks straight into her eyes. After Natalie blinks she turns to Eve.
Natalie - You were right to suspect the worse Eve. It's Fraysa. But Alex is there too. Their souls haven't completely merged.
Everyone looks to Fraysa in Alex's body. No one has ever seen her look so confused and frightened as she sits there in the corner shaking
COMMERCIAL
Jeff walks over to Alex and reaches for her to pull her up from the ground gently
Jeff - Come on
Alex now Fraysa scrambles away in terror
Jeff - (recoils offended) Well, Hey now!!
Natalie - Jeffery! This woman has just had her soul ripped from heaven. She is two thousand years away from the time she knows. She is scared and confused.
Serena - (walks over to Fraysa and takes her hand gently) Do you understand anything that's going on (sees Fraysa shake her head) We can help you understand. Why don't you sit over here on the couch?
Alex(Fraysa) - (shakes her head furiously) I will not sit by her! (looks to Eve) She murdered my children(begins sobbing)My children. Why did you take me away from them? WHY?? (looking up and around crying violently) Everything here is so solid. It's so violent and bright.
Serena takes Fraysa in to her arms and comforts her and strokes her hair
Serena - Do you remember what happened when you first woke up in this harsh world?
Alex(Fraysa) - (still sobbing) It was dark. There were dead things all around (has a spark of realization) Thuvan! Thuvan was there! It didn't look like him but he knew our children's names. He knew who I was!!! Why would he be there? Why did he look like that!!!
Eve - (gently) He wanted you back. (Fraysa looks to Eve in shock) He was desperate and he went to great lengths to get you back. He loves you.
Alex(Fraysa) - Wha . . . What lengths?
Serena picks Fraysa up from the ground and guides her over to a mirror. Fraysa gasps in horror. She tries to tear at her skin in disgust but Serena pulls her hands away and forces her to look at her self in her new body
Serena - This is you!! Fraysa listen to me! Thuvan tore your soul away from heaven and placed it in a new body.
Serena guides Fraysa over to the couch to sit by Eve but Fraysa hesitates and pulls away.
Eve - (stands up) I'm not going to hurt you.
Fraysa eyes Eve wearily and looks to Serena who nods. She sits Fraysa down on the couch
Alex (Fraysa) - Where am I?
Eve - You're in my home in New York
Alex(Fraysa) - What's a New York?
Eve - (stands up and looks out the window) Its a long story. And I'd like to tell you about it, about how I've changed, how I'm a different person now, but it wouldn't change how you feel. It wouldn't change the pain you've experienced. All I can tell you now is that I'm so sorry. I am trying to atone. And I need your help.
Alex(Fraysa) - What can I possibly do?
Eve - Thuvan is hurting people. He's doing it because I hurt him. I have to stop him. I have to stop him before he damns the soul of my friend. The body he's in, the reason he looks so different, is because he stole a body.
Alex (Fraysa) - The body of your friend. If that is true, then my husband has not changed much.
Eve - What do you mean?
Alex(Fraysa)- Thuvan is relentless. He will stop at nothing until he gets what he wants. It does not matter what the cost.
Eve – He loves you. It is misguided but it's real. There might be hope.
James - Eve, are you trying to get at something?
Eve - Above all else Thuvan wants Fraysa. He loves her. He might be willing to change for her. She's the key.
Alex(Fraysa) - He has been killing and hurting people for a long time. It was never what I wanted. He would not listen to me. I was going to leave him because I couldn't do anything then. There is nothing that I can do now.
Eve - Love is the most powerful force in the world. It can heal pain. Everything Thuvan has done has come from a place of pain, the pain he feels from losing those he loves. You may not love him anymore but he still loves you and he has gone to such great lengths already I know he would change for you. You can make him see how he's hurting people, how he has hurt you. Together, you and I can stop him, we might be able to redeem him.
Alex(Fraysa)- I feel like I should trust you. There is a voice urging me to . . . help you.
Natalie - That's Alex. She trusts Eve with her life.
Alex(Fraysa)- Can you send me back?
Eve - You belong in heaven. Even if you don't want to help, we will still send you back to where you belong.
Alex(Fraysa) - I will help you. Take me to Thuvan.
Cut later to just outside the centre. Everyone is standing outside.
Eve - Serena , Bobby, Chris you need to stay here. This is the safest place for you right now. Jeff stay and protect them. Natalie and James, I need you to come with me and Fraysa. I will need you to form some sort of Psychic link and get into Thuvan's head. He witnessed the ritual that got Fraysa soul into Alex's body; find out what it is, maybe we can reverse it.(puts her hand on Fraysa's shoulder) All you need to do is talk to him. If he won't willingly send you back Natalie will at least have the ritual. We'll do the rest
Alex(Fraysa)- And I am grateful to you for that
Eve - It's the least I can do.(She sees Fraysa grab her head in a bit of pain) What's wrong?
Alex(Fraysa) - I am . . . confused. I am experiencing memories I've never had before and a voice keeps resounding in my head. She continues to shout obscenities.
Eve - That sounds like Alex
James - Sounds like she's fighting to get out.
Natalie - The souls are trying to merge. That's why Fraysa is experiencing Alex's memories. If their souls merge completely, the only way we might be able to send Fraysa's soul back to heaven would be to kill Alex.
Eve - All the more reason why we have to find Thuvan now!
Thuvan(voice)- What's your hurry?
Everyone turns to find Thuvan walking toward them from across the street
Eve - Jeff, get the Summers inside!!(gets into a defensive stance)
Alex(Fraysa) - (holds Eve back) Wait! Let me talk to him.
Eve nods and Fraysa begins to walk slowly toward Thuvan. As she reaches him he grabs her toward him and pulls her behind him.
Thuvan - You stole her from me again!! I’m going to kill you where you stand you bitch!
Eve – No can do tonight Thuvan. I have to put a soul back where it belongs.
Thuvan - Do you even know what I've done! I had to drain a holy man of blood to get my wife out of heaven! I had to steal the Urn of Osiris so she and the demi god's soul could be merged!
Eve - The god of death. You used the powers of his realm and the spiritual energy of Craig's family line to blur the lines between life and death, to merge souls and put them in Alex's body. That’s how it was done the first time. That's why you woke up in Craig's family's tomb
Thuvan - Well, aren't you the smart girl. I broke a lot of rules to get what I want and you will not take that from me again!
Thuvan makes a move to charge at Eve until Fraysa jumps in front of him to stop him
Alex(Fraysa) Stop!!
Thuvan - Fraysa what are you doing? She killed you, she killed our children. I must make it right!
Alex (Fraysa)- That's what she's trying to do!!
Thuvan - Fraysa, you are confused. Livia has killed so many . . .
Alex(Fraysa) - So have you! At least she is repentant!
Thuvan – Yes. I killed many in the past . . .
Alex(Fraysa) - And what about all those you have killed now. What about that young man whose body you stole? What did he ever do to deserve you killing him and corrupting his soul. And what of his family? How do you justify hurting them. (gestures to herself) What about this woman? Thuvan I'm hurting her and I hurt for doing that. Thuvan you are hurting me!!
Thuvan - What?
Alex(Fraysa) - You tore me from heaven! I was with our children and my family. I was happy and you, the man I love, tore me from that. WHY?
Thuvan - BECAUSE I LOVE YOU
Alex(Fraysa) - YOU LOVE VENGENCE!!
Thuvan - Because that is all I have been left with! But you are back now and Livia will soon die. We can have the life we want!
Alex(Fraysa) – Thuvan, even if you had succeeded in killing Livia, I would have taken the children and left you! If you succeed in killing her this time I will still leave you and I will hate you forever.
Thuvan - No. NOOOO!
Thuvan pushes Fraysa out of the way and charges at Eve
Thuvan - YOU'VE CORRUPTED HER!!
Thuvan charges at Eve. Eve braces herself for the blow. As Thuvan moves to strike, Eve dodges out of the way then takes Thuvan's arm and flips him over on his back. As he propels himself up, Eve strikes out her arm and clothes lined him to the ground again.
Eve - Stay down Thuvan!
Thuvan gets up quickly and grabs a dagger from his boot. He throws it at Eve which she catches effortlessly. Thuvan takes another blade from his other boot and charges at Eve. Eve tosses the other knife away and dodges Thuvan's attack by spinning behind him and elbowing him in the back causing him to stumble forward. When he turns around again Eve runs up to him and jumps up. As she flips backward she first kicks the blade out of Thuvan's hand with one foot and delivers him a fierce upper cut to his chin with her other foot sending Thuvan to land hard on his back. As Eve lands on her feet she grimaces at the sight of Thuvan in Craig's body getting up and spitting blood from his mouth.
Thuvan - I will bring your dead body back to hell even if I have to do it with my bare hands!
Screaming Thuvan throws a series of punches at Eve which she blocks and dodges. In the meantime James and Natalie who were trying to read Thuvan's mind and having no luck ran over to Fraysa who was looking upon the fight with great fear and sadness.
Natalie - Fraysa I need you to distract Thuvan. Right now his mind is focused on the fight but when he looks at you he thinks about the ritual. You have to get his attention long enough for me to read his mind and get the ritual so we can send you back.
Fraysa nods and stands up
Alex(Fraysa) - THUVAN!! STOP!!
Thuvan whips around and looks straight at Fraysa in Alex body. He sees Alex but he knows just by looking at her eyes that Fraysa is in there pleading with him to stop.
*flash*
Demon Monks (in unison) Great Lucifer King of Hell give us strength to complete this task! Osiris, God of death let us pass through your vile of life and death and bring the souls of two together and make one.
Cuts begin to appear on the arms of the demons and their black blood oozes from their wounds.
Demons Monks - OSIRIS, LET US PASS THROUGH YOUR VIEL OF LIFE AND DEATH AND MERGE THESE SOULS AS ONE AND GIVE THIS BODY LIFE!!!
The light from the urn travels from the urn and spreads out over Alex's body. It fades into Alex's body and a moment of stillness passes. A flash of bright light suddenly emits from Alex and the monks are knocked off their feet
*end flash*
Natalie over to the side gasps. She stumbles a little and James catches her.
James - What?
Natalie - We just have to contact Osiris to take the soul back. If Fraysa will give up Alex's body willingly, we shouldn't suffer any repercussions.
James - Repercussions?
Natalie - The demons who perform the ritual died because they ripped a soul from heaven. We are restoring order. We will get a reprieve.
Thuvan realized that he was tricked into thinking about the ritual and his anger grows. He charges at Natalie. Her eyes grow wide and her body goes rigid with fear at Thuvan's charging form. James pushes Natalie out of the way as Eve flips over Thuvan to stop him. She tries to kick him but Thuvan grabs her foot and throws her into the wall of the centre. James runs to tackle him but with a simple shove from Thuvan James is flying back. Thuvan begins to advance on Natalie again when Jeff comes from Thuvan's left and tackles him to the ground.
Jeff - Stay away from my sister!!!
Thuvan grabs Jeff by the hair and throws him out of the way. This distraction gave James and Natalie enough time to grab Fraysa and get out of the way. Thuvan makes a move to go after them then Chris, out of no where, jumps on Thuvan's back.
Chris - Oh Yeah ride em cowboy!! YEE HAW!!
Thuvan tries to shake Chris off and ends up lifting Chris over his head. He throws Chris into a tree. Serena and Bobby run out of the centre to join hands with James and Natalie in a circle around Fraysa. Eve gets up and flips over to Thuvan to provide a long enough distraction so the ritual can be performed. As Eve stands in defense against Thuvan he looks at her shakes his head and sighs.
Thuvan - All I want, is what you stole from me!
Eve - Thuvan, I am sorrier than you will ever know. If my death could change things I would die a thousand times to right every wrong I've ever done. But it doesn't work that way. I can't change the past and neither can you. What you are doing now won't change things. You are only hurting yourself!
Thuvan - Why won't you let me be happy?
Eve - I'm sorry Thuvan! It was never up to me!
Cut to Natalie Bobby Serena and James in a circle around Fraysa in Alex's body. James Bobby and Serena are whispering chants and a wind begins to pick up a mist settles over them and a small white light glows from each of them.
Natalie - OSIRIS LORD OF DEATH AND KEEPER OF THE REALM BETWEEN THE LINES. A WRONGFUL MERGER OF SOULS HAS BROKEN THE LAWS OF WHICH YOU ABIDE. CEASE THE MERGER AND RETURN THIS SOUL TO ITS RIGHTFUL PLACE!!
The others chants grow louder as a greater wind picks up and a blue light surrounds Fraysa. The ground begins to shake and cuts begin forming on Natalie's arms
Natalie - Fraysa you have to willingly let go of Alex's body
Alex( Fraysa)- Thank you all (closes her eyes and relaxes)
A bright lights emits from all of them. The ground stops shaking and everything is as it was before the ritual started. Alex stands there in the middle of the circle and little white light flies out of chest. Alex falls to the ground
Thuvan - FRAYSA NOOOOOOO!!!!!
The little light soars up into the sky but then it is sucked down fast. It is sucked down into the Urn of Osiris held by a small demon in a black robe. Eve and Thuvan gasp.
Demon Monk - Master Thuvan, our Dark Lord Lucifer craves a word!!
Thuvan - (shakes his head) No!
A red light emits from the demon and engulfs both him and Thuvan and they vanish leaving only a light smoke drifting off the road.
Eve - NO!!
Eve looks all around her. Thuvan is gone. Serena and Bobby pick up Chris and Natalie and James let a limp Alex lean on them. Jeff picks himself off the ground and walks over to Eve who turns around seeing James and Natalie walk over to them. Alex is slowly coming to as she lifts her head up and sees Eve. Eve runs over and looks at her. She lifts Alex’s head up and pushes the hair out of Alex’s face
Eve - How do you feel?
Alex – (sarcastic)Oh Peachy
Eve - One of Lucifer's henchmen used the urn of Osiris to trap Fraysa's soul. He took it with him into hell along with Thuvan. Now they're both trapped.
Serena - What can we do?
Eve - I don't know. All I know now is that I have got to save them. They are all in danger. Fraysa, Thuvan and Craig. Their souls are in jeopardy!!
Jeff - (lays a reassuring hand on Eve's shoulder)We're in this together Eve. You know I'll help.
James - We all will.
Alex - It's not even a question.
Eve nods and looks to everyone around her
Eve - Then this is it. It's time to make things right.
Eve turns around and begins to walk forward with Jeff, Alex ,James, Natalie, Serena Bobby and Chris walking behind her.
