INT. PLAINS - NIGHT

 

A lone HIGHWAY cuts through the vast PLAINS. MOUNTAINS are

seen from the distance as the FULL MOON shines above the

clouded sky.

 

THUNDER RUMBLES.

 

An old SIGN stands by the left shoulder of the highway. It

reads: Ghorgemire, Arizona 120 Miles Away.

 

Suddenly, a portal opens up on the road. It ROARS and

CRACKLES as the road begins to vibrate a little.

A hand reaches out from the portal and holds on to the

surface of the road. Climbing weakly out from the portal is

a critically injured WOMAN carrying a BABY with her other

arm.

 

ELLEN, 23, a brown-skinned woman who wears a black, tight

belly shirt revealing her cleavage, the shirt is ripped and

clawed on; she also wears tight, leather, black pants, and

boots. She has long, dreads, and sharp, brown eyes.

 

The portal shrinks.

 

Ellen holds the baby in her arms as tears slid slowly down

her cheeks.

 

RUMBLE.

 

The portal finally closes.

 

THUNDER RUMBLE.

 

DROPLETS starts to rain down lightly.

 

THUNDER RUMBLE.

Ellen turns her head to the mountains and sees LIGHTNING

FLASHES in the distance.

 

The BABY begins to sob a little.

 

Ellen turns to her baby.

 

ELLEN

(softly)

Hush now, my child. Everything is

going to be alright. I promise.

(sobs softly)

 

Ellen scans the environment for any shelter. She turns to

her left and sees a mailbox and a lone TRAILER nearby.

 

BABY WHINES.

 

ELLEN

(softly)

It's alright.

(rubs the baby head)

It's alright.

(tears slowly slide from

her cheeks)

 

Suddenly, Ellen grunts in pain. She topples a little to ease

the pain, while holding the baby tightly in her arms. She

grits her teeth and hisses. She breathes uncontrollably from

her injuries.

 

She narrows her eyes at the TRAILER. She stands up and takes

deep breaths.

She takes slow steps towards the front yard.

CUT TO:

 

INT. FRONT YARD - NIGHT

 

Ellen walks to the FRONT YARD with a LITTLE TIKE COUP lying

on its side, a rusted BICYCLE, and SLIDE.

The droplets begins to POUR as THUNDER RUMBLES.

 

BABY COOS.

 

ELLEN

(softly)

We're almost there.

 

Ellen approaches the trailer, walking a little faster.

 

CUT TO:

 

EXT: TRAILER - PORCH - NIGHT

 

Ellen walks up to the porch.

 

THUMP. THUMP. THUMP. THUMP. Her heartbeat's getting slower

and slower.

 

Suddenly, she collapses on her knees with her baby still in

her arms. She's having trouble breathing. Tears are flowing

from her eyes to her chin. She hugs her baby and gently

places it on the mat by the door. She digs in her pockets

and pulls out a circular white box with a stapled note on

the front and places it by her child.

 

She places her hand and slides it against the baby's left

cheek.

 

ELLEN

(soft whisper)

Always remember, who you are.

(sobs)

And always remember that I...

 

Ellen takes her last breath and collapses on the ground.

 

THUNDER RUMBLES.

 

BABY CRIES.

 

The door opens behind the baby.

An OLD WOMAN looks down and sees Ellen on the ground with

her arms covering the baby.

 

MARY, 59, a retired school teacher wearing a purple night

gown and slippers. She wore her hair tied to a pony-tail and

bares a ring on her left index finger. She has light-brown

skin and dark brown eyes.

 

MARY

(wide-eyed)

Oh my goodness.

 

Mary picks up the baby and rocks it. She looks down and sees

Ellen on the ground.

 

Holding the baby tightly in her arms, she rubs Ellen's head

and sees a box by her.

 

She takes the box from her and sees a note stapled on the

front.

 

The note reads: Alpha - Remember who you are.

 

She glances at the baby and rubs her left hand at the baby's

right cheek.

 

The baby COOS and smiles.

 

MARY

Everything's going to be alright,

Mopy. I promise.

(rubs the baby's head)

 

FADE TO:

INT. SKY - DAY

The SUN shines brightly in the crystal blue sky as the MAIN

TITLE slowly ZOOMS TO the camera.

PAN TO:

 

EXT. HIGH SCHOOL - DAY

The HIGH SCHOOL sits on top of a low hill. It is moderately

big. The campus is small and has a flag pole on the center.

Five buses are stationed in the front of the school. Gates

surround the school, as visitors park in the school parking

lot.

SCHOOL BELL RINGS.

CUT TO:

EXT. HIGH SCHOOL - CAMPUS - CONTINUOUS

A BOY runs through the DOUBLE DOORS, panting heavily. He

looks around and quickly runs across the campus, knocking

things over.

MOPY, 15, African-American, teenaged boy with black spiky

hair, and has sharp brown eyes who wears a blue shirt with a

yellow letter Calibri "I" centered on his shirt, a pair of

gray jeans, and black and white sneakers. He carries a black

backpack.

He bumps to a TEACHER; the Teacher drops his books.

TEACHER

(angrily waves fist)

Mopy!

Mopy runs pass the Teacher.

MOPY (O.S)

Sorry!

Mopy slides down the rail, leaving the school perimeter.

He flips to the ground, panting and lands on his feet.

CUT TO:

EXT. HIGH SCHOOL - DAY

He pants and looks back at the school.

The STUDENTS gawks at him oddly, the GIRLS scoffs at him

while the boys CHUCKLES lightly.

Mopy sheepishly smiles and nervously waves at them.

The Students murmurs and chuckles at Mopy.

Mopy slowly turns around and walks away.

MOPY

(holding his backpack

straps)

That was awkward...

(looks back)

...but at least I got away from

them.

BEEP. BEEP.

Mopy stops and hesitates; he eerily turns his head around.

BEEP. BEEP.

Mopy stops and hesitates. There are no cars on the road.

MOPY

(raises an eyebrow)

Strange. I thought I heard someone

beeping.

Students are running to the street screaming in mass.

BOY #1

Every scholar for himself!

Mopy slowly turns his head to the school perimeter and sees

a whole flock of students stampeding down the hill scared.

MOPY

(raises left brow)

What the heck?

VROOM. VROOM. VROOM.

MOPY

(sighs annoyed)

Please don't tell me.

BAM.

A BLACK BMW crashes through the double doors and ROARS down

the short hill.

ERRK.

CUT TO:

INT./EXT. BMW - DAY

Three TEENS are in the car screaming and laughing

maniacally.

ONE BOY in the driver's seat has an evil grin across his

face as he drives the car maniacally.

THE SECOND BOY sits besides him on the passenger seat laughs

alongside with the FIRST BOY, and the THIRD BOY, who sits in

the backseat also has an evil grin across his face.

BROOMY, 15, Mopy's bully with an athletic built body who has

blue eyes and pale skin, and short, brown hair who wears a

white shirt with a black skull on the front, a pair of blue

jeans and sneakers. He also wears a red cap backwards.

He sits in the driver's seat driving the car.

ZERI, 15, Broomy's best friend and Mopy's bully. He has long

blonde hair that covers half of his face. He is very skinny

in stature and wears a black shirt with a white horizontal

line cutting across the middle, a pair of blue jeans, and

black sneakers.

He smiles evilly; he sits in the passenger seat by Broomy.

WATER, 17, Broomy's adopted brother and loathes Mopy to the

core. He has light-brown skin, short brown hair, thick

eyebrows, broad nose, sharp brown eyes, has a square face,

and a chisel chin. He's also the tallest, and biggest of the

trio. He wears a dirty, white tee, baggy pants, and shoes.

BROOMY, WATER, AND ERI

(evilly)

Mopy, come out and play-yay!

(laughs maniacally)

CUT TO:

BACK TO SCENE

MOPY

(wide-eyed, and screams)

Mopy runs from the BMW screaming.

CUT TO:

EXT. SCHOOL SONE - DAY

 

Mopy sprints across the street and jumps over the hood of

RED CAR. Mopy GRUNTS and rolls on the road and quickly gets

up.

DRIVER #1

(waving fist angrily)

Hey, watch it kid!

MOPY (O.S)

Sorry!

CUT TO:

INT. RED CAR - DAY

The DRIVER sits back down in his seat and adjust his

side-view mirror.

Suddenly, he catches a glimpse of a runaway car, coming from

the same direction Mopy ran from, coming directly his way.

DRIVER #1

(groans)

Kids today.

CUT TO:

BACK TO SCENE

Mopy sprints as the BMW crashes to the RED CAR, severely

denting both the BMW and the Red Car on the front side.

Mopy sprints to a steep alley.

CUT TO:

INT. ALLEY - DAY

Mopy runs down the steep hill, finally sliding down on a

pizza cart.

He dodges two dumpsters, ducks under several metal porches

and ladders from left to right.

The BMW crashes through the entrance of the alley running

over everything.

MOPY

(turns around and

screams)

MOPY'S POV

Sees a curve coming up.

MOPY

(smiles cockily)

Stands up straight and jumps and surfs on the curved wall,

does a 270 spin on it and lands on a dumpster, surfing

through the edges of it and does a 360 leap. He dodges and

ducks more metal porches, and ladders.

He bends 90 degrees backwards immediately from a water pipe

half his height, raises back up and dodges immediately from

an upcoming dumpster and dodges through sharp edges of a

lowered ladder.

He cruises through the alley and sees an opening coming his

way.

MOPY

(laughs)

Mopy turns around and smiles at his bullies who are driving

the BMW.

CUT TO:

INT./EXT. BMW - CONTINUOUS

Broomy, Zeri, and Water have stupefied looks across their

faces; they exchange them with one another.

WATER

(shocked)

He's good.

BROOMY

(shocked)

Shut up.

CUT TO:

BACK TO SCENE

Mopy blows raspberries and laughs - until he runs on a

concrete ramp. Mopy flies off the floor and screams as he

flips in the air.

THUD.

Mopy rolls on the floor and CRASHES on a pile of garbage.

Mopy groans and removes a BANANA PEEL from his head.

The BMW slows down and stops.

Broomy, Water, and Zeri all get out of the car carrying BLOOD

WEAPONS: Zeri carries a small PLANK of wood, Water carries a

small STEEL CHAIN rope, and Broomy carries a crowbar.

They all approach Mopy threateningly.

Mopy struggles to move, his left leg is stuck on the large

pile of garbage.

Mopy stops as Broomy's shadow overcasts the view of the sun.

The gang surrounds him.

MOPY

(gulps nervously)

BROOMY

(chuckles)

Well, well, well. Seems like the

Humiliation Factory here made a

trip to the stink bomb factory!

 

 

Author's Note

This is only a snippet of the screenplay before I put the whole thing. It's not in the correct format, I copied and pasted it from my PDF file. This was originally written in the screenwriting software called Trelby, it was a lot of help.

This snippet measures through nine pages, the actual file measures up close to fifty! I know I have a lot of work to do, but second of all of that, I hope you guys enjoy this screenplay as much as I have, it took me half a year for me to write 50 pages, and I know it's going to take me a while for me to write up to the final draft for my craft.

Please always leave reviews, they are always appreciated. Thank you!
