ACT II
INT. FONTAINE KITCHEN
Lucy is tying a bandage around Liv's arm.
LUCY
You want to tell me what happened?
Liv looks at her Mom sheepishly.
LUCY
Tucker said you fell asleep in class, is
that true?
Liv nods.
LUCY
And when you woke up you had those
scratches on your arms.
Liv doesn't say anything.
LUCY
It's happening again, isn't it?
Liv looks away.
LUCY
You're having those dreams again. That's
what woke you up last night.
LIV
(Quietly)
It's not anything to worry about.
LUCY
You did this to yourself while dreaming.
I think this is something to worry
about.
LIV
I'm fine.
LUCY
You're hurting yourself again.
LIV
I had two dreams. It's not like it was
before.
Lucy looks at her daughter with a worried look.
LUCY
I think we should call Dr. Bradshaw.
LIV
No. I don't need my head shrunk. I don't
need any drugs. I'll be fine. Seriously.
We don't need to do this.
LUCY
Honey-
LIV
I'll be okay. Really.
LUCY
Promise me you'll come to me if you have
more. Please?
LIV
I promise. It was just a bad dream. One
time deal. I swear.
INT. FONTAINE BASEMENT
Liv nervously pads down the steps in her workout
clothes. She turns the corner around the stairs
and yelps in surprise when she sees a figure sitting
in the middle of the floor.
Jordy sits in the lotus position meditating, bare
chested, eyes closed.
LIV
Jesus, Jordy. What are you doing down
here?
Jordy opens one eye to look at Liv and cocks an
eyebrow.
JORDY
Meditating.
LIV
At three in the morning?
JORDY
Full moon. My inner pooch is working
overtime. You?
LIV
Couldn't sleep. Thought I'd work out a
bit.
JORDY
What's wrong?
LIV
Who says anything is wrong?
JORDY
You. You got that little crease in your
forehead you get whenever your anxious.
LIV
I'm always anxious.
JORDY
That crease is deeper than normal. Plus
you smell anxious.
LIV
I smell?
JORDY
It's a werewolf thing.
LIV
It's a creepy thing.
JORDY
So what's bugging you?
Liv scowls.
LIV
I'm fine.
JORDY
You know who you're talking to right?
The guy who had to go to Tibet and
almost hurt his girlfriend because he
couldn't admit he had a problem.
Liv puts on a pair of gloves and starts wailing on
the punching bag.
LIV
I don't want to talk about it.
JORDY
(shrugs)
Neither did I.
LIV
I'm fine.
JORDY
I thought so too.
LIV
(Throws a hard punch to the bag)
Why are you bothering me on this?
JORDY
Because something's wrong and you won't
let anyone help you.
Liv begins to step up the pace of her punches and
kicks, getting more violent with each move she
makes.
JORDY
I know you're scared, but-
LIV
I'm.Not.Scared.
JORDY
Whatever it is Liv, you don't have to
shut us out.
LIV
(punctuating each word with a
vicious punch)
I'm!Not!Scared!
Liv's final punch sends the bag flying off the chain.
She starts breathing hard and starts getting
teary.
Jordy gets up from his position and quietly approaches
Liv. He puts his hand on her shoulder. Liv
flinches and slaps his hand away and tries not to
cry.
LIV
I'm fine! Leave me the hell alone!
JORDY
Yeah. Not gonna happen.
Liv looks at Jordy and then bursts into tears.
Jordy gives her a small smile and gently takes her
into his arms in a friendly embrace.
JORDY
Shhh. It'll be okay.
LIV
(sniffs)
You don't know that.
JORDY
I know you.
This seems to calm Liv down a little and she rest
her head on Jordy's shoulder.
LIV
(still crying)
Thanks. Maya's pretty lucky, you know.
JORDY
She'd argue that I'm really the lucky
one to have her.
Liv sniffs and wipes Jordy's shoulder with her
hand.
LIV
I'm getting your shoulder all ooky.
JORDY
What's a little ook between friends?
Liv chuckles a little and relaxes on Jordy's shoulder,
closing her eyes.
LIV
Thank you.
Jordy mumbles a reply and Liv sighs.
LIV
Sorry, what was that?
What sounds like another mumble comes from Jordy.
Liv opens her eyes and sees...
EXT. THE FOREST
Liv realizes that the person she is holding onto
isn't Jordy. She freaks and begins to beat the
crap out of the creature in front of her. (And
doing a good job of it too)
She's screaming as she does this. Completely out
of control
VOICE
Liv!
Liv continues to smack the figure around until a hand
reaches out and grabs her and shakes her.
VOICE
Liv! You're killing him!
Liv finds herself being shaken by Lucy, who has a look
of fear in her eyes. She's back in the basement
LIV
What?
Lucy points over in the corner where Jordy lies unconscious
and beaten to a pulp.
LUCY
Why did you do this to him? Xander!
LIV
I... I don't know.
Xander races down the stairs and starts checking out
Jordy.
XANDER
We better get him checked out at the
hospital.
LIV
(starts to cry again)
I'm sorry!
Xander and Lucy share a look.
XANDER
We'll talk about this later.
Xander picks up Jordy and heads upstairs. Lucy turns and
looks at Liv with a sad look.
LUCY
Honey. We have to tell him. It's gone on
too far.
LIV
I didn't mean it!
LUCY
You didn't mean it the last time either,
sweetie. You need help.
LIV
No!
Liv runs out of the room crying.
LUCY
Liv! Wait!
Lucy runs after her.
EXT. FONTAINE HOUSE
Liv runs out the front door an into the night,
partially crying, partially panicking.
Lucy runs to the front door but Liv is gone.
LUCY
Liv!
