The city hidden in the mountain side.

Indigo Bay. A small city in the pacific northwest; just outside Seattle. Most people have heard the myths of supernatural beings living here in the ancient world, but those are just stories to scare children. Or is it?

Anyone who researches those stories or actually takes them seriously are considered the town crazies.

Take Alex Benston for example . Alex has just moved back with his older sister Carolina. They used to live here, but moved when Carolina graduated high school. Now they are back....after their mother was murdered last April.

Alex was always considered a little strange, but even more so now since he believes his mother was killed by a vampire. Which doesn't please his sister.....



...at all.
Carolina: Ok I finished taking stuff to my room. That was two hours ago, Alex. You haven't touched anything since.


Alex: I know. I told you that I have to do my research today. It's no big deal.
Carolina: Fuck! Not that vampire crap again! I swear to god, Alex you are on very thin ice right now. Do you want to go back to that facility? We moved here, because it was good for YOU. I had a life back home. I never thought I would have to move back here.
Alex: Well it seems to me that you will have no trouble living here. Aren't you meeting up with your old high school friends later?
Carolina: Yeah in a bit, but don't change the subject! You need to quit with this vampire shit. I know it's a way of coping for you, but it's just not healthy for you to...
Alex slammed his laptop shut.


Alex: She was killed by a fucking a vampire!!! I don't know how many more times I have to say it!
Carolina: No! She was murdered! You need stop hiding behind this vampire myth and deal with her death!
Alex: I don't need to do anything, but sit here and do my research on this city. One day you will realize I was right. Until then you can go out with your friends and act like mom never existed.


Carolina: Fine...


Alex: Hmm. Campers killed by a mountain lion? More like vampires.



Carolina arrived at the Coffee house downtown. She was about to be reunited with her high school friends.


Fiona: Lina! It's been so long!
Carolina: I know, I know. It's nice to see you too!


Carolina: So where's everyone else? Sade,Shane, Mia??
Sarah: Sade's on her way. Mia is in New york, you know, trying out that whole modeling thing. And Shane....
Sarah paused for a moment. In reality no one knew where Shane was.
Carolina: What? Something wrong?
Fiona: Two years ago he kind of just left. He said that he needed to figure some stuff out. We haven't heard from him since.
Carolina: Oh wow....I can't believe it. Do you think it's because his parents disapproved of him being gay? I know they had a tough time when he came out.
Sarah: No, they opened up a lot since then. They got a call from him a few months after he left. He was in New Mexico I think. He said he got a job and an apartment. We all miss him, but what else can we do, ya know?



Sade: Ew...I didn't know you hung out here...
Jasper: Nice to see you too, Sade.
Sade: Whatever, just leave me alone.


Carolina: Hey Sade!
Sade: Hey girl! Wow you haven't changed a bit. I love your flat hair. I wish I could get mine like that. Hahah
Fiona: As you can see, Sade is still a bitch!
Carolina: No worries. So what are we doing tonight? I'm dying to get out of the apartment.




Sade: I'll be right back.


Jasper: Look who's following who now.
Sade: Wait up!


Sade: You really need to stop doing that thing where you glance at me thinking I'm not going to see you.
Jasper: I'm sorry that my eyes wander like every other human being on the planet. Listen just because we had sex a few times doesn't mean I've fallen in love with you. I'm not some desperate loser.

Sade snickered at Jasper's comment. She was thinking the exact opposite.
Sade: You're hilarious, you know that? I seem to remember you calling me nonstop after we hooked up that night. I guess you don't understand the concept of a one night stand.
Jasper: Oh yes I do. Usually you are supposed to sleep with a complete stranger, but you chose me out of all people. The guy who's had a crush on you since the 9th grade. Why is that, Sade? Hmm? Maybe because you really do like me and you are just afraid to admit it. And FYI I see the way you look at me sometimes too.

Sade: Ok let's get one thing straight. That night, was Sarah's celebration party for her fancy new job. I got drunk and somehow ran into you. I slept with you because I was lonely and felt fat that day. I may be a slut with no college degree, but at least my attractiveness can get me somewhere......and by somewhere I don't mean into the arms of a fat loser like you.

Sade: Also when I look at you, It's a look of disgust not lust!











Elsewhere in an apartment downtown.....

Empty beer bottles and pill vials shook as punk music blared out of a sound system.

This is the Reese residence.


Darcy Reese...the girl with issues....

lots of issues.

On most nights she could be found bent over her night stand, sniffing pills.

Much to her brother's dismay

JJ: Hey, Darce!!! Turn this shit down! The whole house is shaking!

Darcy: Fuck off!
JJ: Don't talk to me like that! I'm letting you live here, so show me some respect!
Darcy: You're fucking up my vibe, man! Get lost!!!!!

JJ: Of course you're high! You're always fucking high!!!
Darcy barely heard her brother's words as she slowly drifted towards the floor.

JJ: Waste of space! That's all you are!!!


Naomi: Hey mister, you shouldn't be losing your temper like that! Especially so close to the full moon. You don't want to wreck all of our progress right?
JJ: I'm sorry. I'm just worried about her. I feel like everyday she's getting more and more messed up. One of these days she's going to lose it on someone and it won't end well.

Naomi: Yeah ,because she will trigger the curse and then I'll have two werewolves to deal with.
JJ: C'mon it's not funny. We need to keep an eye on her.
Naomi: I am, babe, but right now you need to go to my room and meditate. We are making so much progress with your transformations each month. I feel like one day there won't even be a difference between you and your wolf form.

JJ: Seriously? You're a powerful witch and all, but I highly doubt you can turn my werewolf form into a puppy!



Across town, the girls were ready to go out for the night.

To a place where supposed “vampires” used to hang out in the old days. Too bad those were just more rumors about Goth people, right?

Sade: So are you guys sure you wanna go to The Twilight Lounge? We can go to Amazon! There's a Jacuzzi!
Sarah: No, tonight isn't about hooking up with guys and dancing in a room with 500 people. It's about catching up with Carolina and just hanging out.

Sade: Ugh so I dressed hot for nothing?! I bet the only guys that hang out at this place are hipsters who will want to show me their “oh so cool” art.
Sarah: Don't you dress like that every day?
Fiona and Sarah started giggling. Sade rolled her eyes and continued to play with her hair in the mirror. It was normal for her friends to judge her attire and attitude. If only they knew that Sade was only trying to find attention, because no one else would give her the time of day. She was always surrounded by successful college grads, yet all she had was a high school diploma and a job at the diner down the block.

A knock on the door


Carolina: What the hell do you want?
Alex: Can't I say hi to your friends?

Sade: Oh my god, Alex! Wow you look so grown up!! I think the last time I saw you, you were fourteen!!
Alex: Hey Sade, you look good too. All of you do, haha.

Carolina shoved past her brother. Why was he trying to flirt with her friends?

Alex: So, I heard you guys were going to the Twilight Lounge tonight. That place is really awesome. It has a lot of history. I was wondering if maybe I can come along too?
Sade: Aren't you too young to go to a bar? Besides, you don't seem like the type to go out drinking.
Alex: I can find a way in. Did you know that vampires hang out there?

Carolina: Ugh! Here he goes again.

Sarah: Are you serious?! Hahaha. Vampires?! Don't tell me you are into that stuff, Alex. The place used to be a seriously whacked out bar where Goth people hung out. It's been under new management for years.

Carolina: OK! Let's go, girls. I think we've had enough of my weird little brother for today. Don't mind him, it's just a strange hobby he has.
Alex: It's not!

Carolina: You guys go ahead. I'll meet you by the elevator.

Carolina: Ok, it's fine if you want to talk to me about your psycho theories, but don't let my friends know that you are a freak now.
Alex: I'm not lying, Lina! I read online that about a year ago a girl was found dead around the block from there and they said she was attacked by an animal and lost a lot of blood. Why would there be an animal In middle of the city? Also back in the 1930's people used to see vampires hanging out there all the time. They would kill people and then serve their blood as drinks!
Carolina: Those are just stories!!!!! You need to do something else with your free time!

Carolina: Maybe go out and meet some other freaky people! At least you will be around your kind!




Sade: Jeez, you think they could calm down with the fog machines? I feel like I'm at a high school Halloween dance. Also, where are all the people??
Fiona: Calm down, Sade. This isn't a club. Besides, they have a killer happy hour going on right now. Let's just have an old fashioned girls night for once.
Sade: Fine, but I hope you know that you are carrying me home tonight.

Sade: Ugh, you've got to be kidding.
Sarah: What? Not enough men to look at?
Sade: My stalker is here. Even after I let him down HARD.

Sarah: Honestly, Sade. You are so mean to him. He's the nicest guy I've ever met.
Sade: That's really nice, why don't you go date him?

Sarah: You can't admit it can you?
Sade: Admit what? That I'm not into fat nerds?
Sarah: Haha...no, that you are! Face it Sade. You want to rip off those glasses and do him in the bathroom! hahaha.
Sade: Please don't make me vomit! C'mon take a shot with me.

Sade: Sarah!
Sarah: Alright, alright!
Sade: There's this hot guy staring at me at the end of the bar. I'm going to bring this drink over to him.


Sarah: Really?? I thought it was supposed to be girls night!
Sade: Please...you knew that would only last ten minutes. Now...uh if you'll step aside..

Sade: Hey...I'm Sade.


Sarah: Sorry about that, dude. I know you have a thing for her.
Jasper: Sade? Nahh. I'm just here for an after work drink. You know, running a comic book store is REALLY stressful.
Sarah: Nice sarcasm. So you really want to sit here watching your crush hit on another guy?

Jasper: Maybe...
Sarah: Honestly, Jasper. You deserve so much better. Sade is a....uh.....free spirit I guess. She would really treat you like crap.
Jasper: Hmm. Aren't you two best friends? Why do you let her do what she does?
Sarah: I've known her since I was five and you know what I've learned from 19 years of friendship? That I can't tell that girl to do anything she doesn't want to.

Sarah: So you know what I'm going to do Jasper? I'm going to help you get over her and find the girl of your dreams.
Jasper: Oh yeah? Why would you want to do that?
Sarah: Because nice guys like you don't deserve to be Sade-ed. Also because you tutored me in 11th grade.

Jasper: *sigh* try all you want, but I will never be like those guys over there. I'll always be the fat guy.









Meanwhile, Alex was about to take his sisters advice...

Alex: This is so stupid. Why am I about to walk around in the rain, looking for friends?
He was about to turn around and go back, but he was interrupted by a scream.
Darcy Reese was on one of her high adventures..

Alex: Hey! Are you ok?!
Darcy: The vampires are after me!!!!!!

Alex: The vampires??
Darcy: Hahaha...dude I'm just joking. I know you are obsessed with vampires, Alex Benston!
Alex: Huh? How do you know my name?

Darcy: Don't you remember me? We went to high school together! It's me, Darcy Reese!

Alex: Oh man!! No way! You don't have blond hair anymore!
Darcy: Nope! I saw you moving in this morning. I was kind of high at the moment....well more high than I am now.
Alex: Ah yes, how could I forget? You were the sophomore that taught the little nerdy freshman me how to smoke. Glad you are still a pothead!

Alex: C'mon! Let's go upstairs. We have to catch up!







Carolina: So much for girls night, huh? I'm guessing that this is a regular thing with Sade? I see not much has changed since high school.
Fiona: Oh yeah. I just wish that she would stay with someone longer than two weeks, you know? Anyway, I'm glad you are back. I really need a sane person around here once in a while haha.
Carolina: Hah! no problem. I really miss having a group of friends. I haven't been out since before......well, you know.

Marcus: You. Go over to the other side of the bar and never come back.
Guy: Um...ok.

Sade: Hey, I was in the middle of talking to him. Why did you do that? Do you want me all to yourself or something??

Marcus: Yes that's exactly what I want. Now you are going to follow me and we are going to have some fun outside.

Sade: Whatever you say.

Jane: Save some for me. Don't be a greedy bastard this time.

Marcus: Don't worry. I always have fun with my prey before finishing them off.








About an hour later, Sade's friends were starting to worry about her.

Fiona: Sade....this is the fifth time I'm calling. Call me back!!

Sarah: Still no answer? I'm sure she's fine, Fi. She probably went to the guys house or something. This is Sade we're talking about.
Jasper: This isn't jealousy or anything, but that guy did seem.....off.
Fiona: I felt that too. I say we go look for her.



Fiona: Ok so you guys start up the block. Sarah and I will search around the building.




Sade was frozen with fear. For the past hour Marcus was toying with her. Kissing her and then pulling away....playing with her hair..... licking her neck.
She had no idea who this guy was or what he wanted. All she knew was that he told her to stay where she was.
His friend, Jane had finally arrived.

Sade: Wh...what's going on?
Jane: Are you done playing with the pathetic human? I mean seriously, Marcus. How many times must you do this? I'm starving!
Marcus: Calm down! There's something sort of special about this one. She reminds me of Lacey. You know...my girl back in '85?

Jane: Hah! Yeah if you take away the brain. Lacey was nice and all, but we did end up killing her . She didn't like you very much when she found out what you were. What makes you think this one will be different?
Marcus: *sigh* fine. At least let me go easy on her.

Sade: What are you doing?
Marcus: Don't scream, beautiful.
Marcus immediately sank his teeth into Sade's neck.
The sweet taste of her blood filling his mouth and slowly trickling down her blouse.

Sade: Ah... it hurts. Please.....

Marcus: That's right....not a sound. Now let my friend have a drink
Jane: Don't worry, honey. I won't be as gentle.

This bite was different.
It was hard.....and painful.

Sade: Mmmm.......that hurts!
Jane continued to drink as the tears started forming in Sade's eyes. She felt like screaming ,but Marcus told her not to. It was as if he had put an invisible tape over her mouth.


Sarah: Oh my god....oh my god. They just....what did they do?
Fiona: I.....I don't know.

Jane: What a shame. The bitch passed out before I could finish.
Fiona: Hey! What did you do?!

Fiona: I'll call the police right now, scumbag! What did you do to my friend?!
Jane: Ugh...I hate when stupid girls travel in packs.
Jane grabbed onto Sarah's arm and threw her two feet back into the fence.

Sarah: AHHHH!!!! What are you ??!!!

Jane: Your worst nightmare!
Before Jane could sink her teeth into her, Sarah collapsed from the fear.

Jane: Great....well that ruined my fun.
Marcus: Argh!!!

Jane: What?! Where the hell is the other girl??
Marcus: I don't know! All of a sudden she disappeared and then something shocked me!!

Jane: No....it can't be. Marcus...I think we found her....it's....
Jane was cut off by a sudden gust of wind.

So strong that it blinded her for a moment....
Jane: We must leave!



Fiona scanned the area, hoping that noone else saw.


She then flew to her friends.....and began to heal them.

A few blocks away....

Jane: Marcus...come on! The sun will be up soon!
Marcus: Jane...was that girl...the one we've been searching for?
Jane: Yes.

Marcus: Then we have to inform Joseph. The faerie has been found.
