FADE IN:

EXT. ORANGE CITY HIGH SCHOOL PARKING LOT - LATE AFTERNOON

Daemon parks her truck, and steps out. Immediately after, Marcus walks out of the building in front of her (Orange City High School Gym) and smiles.

MARCUS
Well hello there! Long time no see, Daemon. Your looking as lovely as ever. I didn't expect to see you here so early.

DAEMON
Can the crap, Marcus. I've been getting tailed by a bunch of "Kim's Karate" rejects, and odds are I've got you to thank for them.

MARCUS
Now, now, Daemon. You know better than to think I'd purposely irritate you.

Daemon pulls a long katana from behind her back.

MARCUS
You know, I've often found it so... refreshing to see your use of traditional weapons.

DAEMON
I'm not in the mood for this. I know you've got something planned involving my kid, so I'm giving you to the count of three to surrender.

Marcus begins to back up slowly, his hands in front of his face.

MARCUS
Now Daemon, don't be so brash. I only--

DAEMON
One...

MARCUS
Mordred's not going to be hurt if he just cooperates--

DAEMON
Two...

MARCUS
Who knows? He might just enjoy showing off what he really is--

DAEMON
Three!!

Daemon rushes at Marcus, who pulls a hand gun from the inside of his pocket and holds it at Daemon.

In a split second, Daemon slashes her sword upwards and cuts the gun in half.

MARCUS
In fact, you're giving me an unusually little amount of choice..

Daemon's features change again, her eyes glowing red and her vampire fangs growing as she puts the sword up to Marcus' neck. Daemon's other hand grabs him by the collar.

DAEMON
Marcus, you have no idea what your screwing around with!

MARCUS
No, I have a pretty good idea after seeing you. Tell me, how do you go on without it?

DAEMON
Without what?

MARCUS
This.

Marcus tilts his head, exposing his bare neck and grinning.

MARCUS
It's still as delicious as always, you know. Warm... thick... And I really wouldn't mind becoming a--

DAEMON
Stupid!!

Daemon throws Marcus against the wall.

DAEMON
I don't have the ability to pass on the lust anymore. You know that.

MARCUS
Well... you have a point. I can't really do much with you. Now, Mordred on the other hand...

DAEMON
I swear, if you've done anything--

MARCUS
(laughs) How would you even know?? You, my dear, have spent so much time outside with me... if I'd done anything to your precious little boy you'd be far to late.

Daemon grinds her teeth, runs into the building and...
