One more… just because I really like this one.. heh

FADE IN

int. - Valencia's basement- day

JASPER is chained up to a wall in VALENCIA'S basement. Both of the are beautiful, almost too beautiful to look at. Valencia is holding a bowl with a liquid inside, it is hard to tell what the liquid is. Jasper is facing Valencia, eyeing the bowl wearily.

JASPER

(calmly)

What am I doing here? I have done nothing to you and I demand to be released. You had no right to take me from my home.

VALENCIA

Right? Ha! I have every right after what you did to my family.

JASPER

Your family? What do I care about you or your family? Get me out of here before I just break free and kill you.

VALENCIA

Oh no you won't be doing that. You see, you haven't eaten in a little over eight hours. Which means that you don't have the strength to break free from those chains. Do you think I would bring you in here without making sure I could handle you first?

Valencia holds up the bowl, the light glinting off the dark metal of the bowl. Jasper knows what is inside the bowl but refuses to acknowledge the fact. He crosses his arms over his chest in defiance and glares at Valencia.

Valencia

I have what you want inside this bowl. And I will give it to you. Just ask me for my forgiveness and for my family's forgiveness.

jasper

(glaring at Valencia, slowly turns his back on her)

I will do no such thing. I did nothing to deserve this and I will kill you after this petty game of yours is over.

VALENCIA

(growls at him)

Petty game? You will be the one who will die. Maybe not today, but after I have broken you, be certain that you will die.

Valencia takes out a brush of sorts, dips it into the liquid and starts sprinkling Jasper with the liquid. She can see Jasper cringe every time a sprinkle hits him, but he remains standing with his back to her.

JASPER

(Turns back around)

You think that you will break me? I am stronger than you and I have lived longer than you. I have dealt with torture you can't even imagine. I will outlast you.

VALENCIA

(smirking)

We will see who outlasts who.

She sprinkles a little more liquid at him as she leaves the room, looking just a little disappointed.

int. - valencia's basement- night

It has been 8 hours since Valencia was in her basement last and finally she returns, still holding the bowl, hoping to see Jasper begging for mercy. Jasper, however, is still standing with his arms folded, looking at her defiantly.

JASPER

I told you that I am stronger than you and that I will outlast you.

Valencia hisses at him, light glinting off her fangs. She throws the whole bowl of liquid at him, the light now glinting off the liquid to show it's deep red color. It splashes on Jasper's face, running down to look like bloody tears. Jasper uses whatever willpower he has left to not lick his face. Valencia sees his discomfort and smiles. She already knows that she is winning.

VALENCIA

Once again, we will see who outlasts who...

Valencia once again leaves.

INT. - VALENCIA'S BASEMENT- day

Valencia lets another eight hours go by before she heads back to her basement, carrying yet another bowl of the blood. Jasper is on his knees and he seems to be cleaning himself like a cat; he brings his hands up, wipes his face then licks the blood off of his hands. He is getting frustrated because it is not enough and he hasn't eaten in almost two days.

VALENCIA

(smiling widely, her fangs looking longer than ever)

That is what I thought. I knew that I could break you. Everyone needs to eat and it has been a long time since you have had a full meal. I have what you need right here. You need it to live past this day and you will do what I say if you want it.

Jasper doesn't respond, just continues to lick up as much of the blood as he can. Valencia sets the bowl on the ground, just out of Jasper's reach. Jasper sniffs the air, smelling the bowl of blood. He moves slowly toward it, his body weak. He just needs however much is in that bowl and he can break free and kill her. He gets almost within reach and then his chains stop him. He starts to snarl, his lips pulled back to reveal his fangs. Valencia laughs as Jasper shakes his chains and strains against them, trying with all his might to get to the bowl. If he had all his strength, he would have been able to break the chains, but he is too weak.

VALENCIA

You didn't apologize or ask for forgiveness. For that you will suffer. You will never get what you need again and I will see you die here in my basement. This is what I can do for my family.

Valencia kicks the bowl away from him, the blood hitting the ground and drying almost immediately. She leaves the room laughing as Jasper howls desperately; all he wants to do is eat.

INT. - VALENCIA'S BASEMENT- Day

Valencia comes back after another eight hours. Jasper is on his back, lying on the ground, panting. His skin is even more pale than it normally is and his body looks like just a husk of what a body should look like. All of his bones are showing through his skin and his lips are peeled back in a permanent snarl; the hunger is finally killing him. He is barely strong enough to look at Valencia when she enters.

VALENCIA

Who knew torture could be this fun? I had what you wanted all along and you couldn't just confess and ask for forgiveness. That was all I wanted.

Jasper is so hungry that he has no response for her. He rolls on his stomach and starts licking the dried blood off the ground, desperately trying to get sustenance of any kind. Valencia lets out another laugh and Jasper rolls his head to look at her. All that can be seen are the whites of his eyes.

VALENCIA

(holding a new bowl)

Well I suppose I can't let you go without a last meal, can I?

She holds the bowl over him, dips her hand into it and let's one single drop fall on his lips. Jasper groans in pleasure at the freshness of the blood as it enters his throat. She then drinks the rest of the blood in front of him, throwing the bowl behind her when she is done.

VALENCIA

(licking her lips)

That was good. Nice and fresh from a human that was just killed.

Valencia laughs at Jasper as he groans, this time in pain. His face is still turned towards her as he tries his hardest to ask the question that has yet to be answered.

JASPER

(barely audible whisper)

... why... what did I...

VALENCIA

(kicks him in the stomach)

Just a name... Shae Remy... She was my sister...

Jasper's eyes widen just a little bit as he has seconds to register this before Valencia reaches down and tears his heart out. She looks at the heart for a beat before it dies completely then devours it, enjoying the taste of her enemy. She then goes to the door, which opens on a bunch of eagerly waiting pale faces.

VALENCIA

Do what you want with him. Just don't leave a mess.

FADE OUT

Rebecca

I know this is supposed to be for my short stories, but for school this term we were writing screenplays, so I thought I would post them here too! =) Enjoy!

DAVID'S girlfriend, REBECCA, has just broken up with him and he is completely distraught over it. He doesn't know what to do with his life anymore and just wants to pain to end. Rebecca had been his everything and now what was there? He has spent many hours hiding in his room, crying over old pictures of them. Tonight he wanted to see her again and he talked SEAN, his best friend, into going with him. SEAN is trying to help him get over it and knows just the thing. He doesn't want David to stop his life because of this girl and he knows how to help him. They are hiding behind a dumpster on the campus. Sean hands David a gun.

DAVID

What the hell is this? What am I going to do with this? I can't use this...

SEAN

I got it for you when I saw how upset you were over this bitch. You can use it, it will make things all better. Just trust me...

David reluctantly takes the gun from Sean and stares at it.

DAVID

I... I just don't know... I just want the pain to end...

SEAN

And this is how that is going to happen... like I said, just trust me. I know this feeling and it is a great one... It is just... it is just the best!

DAVID

You... know this feeling? What the hell Sean? What do you mean you know this feeling? What are you even talking about? How would you know what this feels like?

SEAN

Would I steer you wrong? Can you just trust me? It is just better than anything and I have been getting away with it so far and I have been waiting to get you involved...

David looks at Sean with wide eyes, trying to decipher what he was just told. Sean looks at him knowingly with a huge smile on his face. David looks at him a moment longer then shakes his head as if he has come to a decision. He can only handle one thing at a time and right now he needs to deal with the task at hand.

DAVID

I just.. Don't even know... I will worry about you later. I need to figure out what to do now...

SYRACUSE COLLEGE CAMPUS- NIGHT

REBECCA is beautiful with long brown hair and bright green eyes. She is very successful in college and is ready to start her career. Her cell phone rings and it is her current boyfriend. They start talking over the cell phone.

CUT TO-

SYRACUSE COLLEGE CAMPUS- behind a dumpster- NIGHT

Sean has just spotted Rebecca talking on her phone.

SEAN

Oh. So this is why we were hiding here.

DAVID

I told you it was because of Rebecca.

SEAN

Well yeah, hence the gun. It's not like I know her schedule though, so I didn't know you were planning on stalking her tonight.

DAVID

(All said while stroking the gun)

Not stalking... just... watching...

As Rebecca comes closer, David's grip on the gun gets tighter and tighter. David hears Rebecca tell the person on the phone that she loves them and this seems to make his decision for him. His grip on the gun tightens and his heart starts beating faster. He hides the gun under his arm so she won't see it and steps out from behind the dumpster. Rebecca lets out a little scream when she sees him and takes an involuntary step back. Her hand goes to her throat and David can hear her breath speed up.

REBECCA

David! What the hell are you doing here? You need to stop following me!

DAVID

I am not following you.

REBECCA

YWhatever David. Just leave me the hell alone. I am done with you, I told you. And I am with someone else now...

David's shoulders slump at these last words and his whole body seems to shrink. Rebecca notices tears running down his face and for a moment feels some sympathy. Then David pulls the gun from under his arm and points it at Rebecca's face. She takes another step back but then squares her shoulders and stands her ground.

REBECCA

Really, David? And what are you going to do with that? You are just so ridiculous. This is why I broke up with you. You are never going to--

The words die on her lips with her as a bullet wound appears on her forehead. Sean lets out a cheer and grabs David before Rebecca has even slumped to the ground. David's eyes have gone wide and his mouth has formed an "o" shape. Sean struggles to make him run, to get out of there before they get caught. Finally David shakes himself, seems to wake up and they run to the car.

INT. SEAN AND DAVID'S HOUSE- NIGHT

Once home, Sean shakes David's hand and slaps him on the back.

SEAN

Amazing my friend. Just amazing! I knew you had it in you. That bitch deserved it! In the morning, I am going to make you a huge breakfast then let you in on what I have been up to these past few nights! You are going to love it!

David says nothing and they head to their seperate rooms, Sean a bit dissapointed by the fact that David doesn't seem more excited.

Int. David's room

David is tossing and turning and talking to himself.

DAVID

Why did I do that? Now I will never see her again. I could have won her back. Rebecca... I miss you so much.

A sob escapes David's lips as he just repeats her name over and over again. He rocks back and forth on his bed moaning in between saying her name, his fist clenching and unclenching the gun, not even realizing that he still has the gun. David falls into a fitfull sleep and he tosses back and forth for an hour. He jerks awake with Rebecca's name on his lips and looks down at his hand, finally realizing that he still has the gun. He stares at it a moment longer then makes up his mind what he wants to do with it. He goes back to sleep a little easier, this time with a different name on his lips.

DAVID

Sean...

INT. Sean and David's kitchen- morning

Sean enters the kitchen with a huge smile on his face, practically bouncing, ready to tell David his secret. He spots David sitting at the table, the gun in his hand. The smile falls off of Sean's face, but he tries to act like he hadn't seen the gun.

SEAN

Hey... David... What a great night, huh? Ready for that breakfast I promised you? David? Da--

DAVID

(in a whisper)

How could you? How could you make me... this is all your fault... I will never see her again and it is all your fault... I could've fought for her... but no... Sean must always have his way...

SEAN

Woah buddy. I didn't pull the trigger for you. You did that on your own. I just showed you the way, but you did the--

DAVID

(shouting)

You did this to me! You did this to her! I never should have listened to you! How could you...

Sean's heart starts beating faster and he puts his hands up as if to block the words that David is saying to him. David slowly raises the gun and aims it at Sean's head. Sean starts to back up, now using his hands as a shield against the gun. He is starting to sweat and his heart is in his throat; he can no longer talk to defend himself. David releases the trigger and shoots Sean in the same place he had shot Rebecca the night before.

DAVID

I am so sorry Rebecca... I never should have listened to him...

A final shot rings out.
