After an hour of torching what was left of the village, Max flies to a house that is a few miles outside of town. He lands in front of the house, and explodes into a black smoke returning to his human form; he then removes his sword from his back and stalks towards the door of the house. It is still raining and the blood all over his white shirt starts to turn it pink as the blood and the rain mix. Max kicks down the door to find Mystery and his parents looking at him in shock.
Tony turns to Tira: “Get her to a safer place!”
Tira takes Mystery away quickly into the dark hallway. Tony then turns to Max as he walks into the house.
Tony: “Please Son, tell me what is wrong”
Max: “Nothing is wrong father; I’m just killing those who are weak”
Tony: “There is something wrong with you boy, has been for a few months”
Max just looks at him without emotion: “I am perfectly fine; I was just too strong for them”
Tony: “No you are not, things have been different since you met… (eyes widen) Alexa”
Max: “Don’t bring her into this, she has done nothing wrong, unless me being happy is wrong”
Tony: “How would I know, before you met her, you where full of life, always smiling and helping others, especially Mystery and TJ. After that dinner we had with Alexa, you are never home anymore, we rarely saw you up till today. Now, I don’t recognize you anymore, you are no longer the cheerful child that would soon protect the village, now I just see an emotionless murdering teenager”
Max: “All I did was open my eyes, people here are weak, you even said it yourself father, that I could surpass your strength. You told me that when you told me that I was going to be the ruler of this village. However, everyone here is weak and pathetic”
Tira comes back from the dark hallway.
Max: “All I need to do now, (Takes his sword and points it at them) is to see if I’m stronger then you”
Tira gasps: “You wouldn’t dare!”
Max smiles evilly: “Then you don’t really know me now do you?”
Max swings at his parents; Tony runs in front of Tira, maxes sword slices across Tony’s chest and arms.
Tira screams: “Stop Max!”
Max looks at her blankly: “No one can”
Max drives his sword at them again, but Tony catches Max’s arm.
Tony yells: “You will stop now!”
Max ignores him and slams his into Tony’s face, causing him loose his grip on Max’s arm, Max then thrusts his sword into Tony’s gut. Tira unharmed, but looks on in shock and horror, tears start streaming down her face.
Tony whispers: “Son, how could you do this? This is really not like you, the happy playful child you used to be”
Max glares at him: “I am no longer him”
Max then slides his sword free of Tony, Tony falls to his knees and Max raises his sword over him.
Tira runs to them trying to stop Max by grabbing his arms: “NO!”
Max forces his sword down onto her shoulder, cutting her deep before she falls to her knees. Max raises his sword over them again, and brings it down slicing their throats. They both fall over, and attempt to scream as blood fills their throats. They being trying to crawl away as Max cuts them up into pieces with his sword. Blood splatters everywhere, painting the room red as it is almost completely covered in their blood. Once they are no longer recognizable as humans, Max stops and just looks at the ground, at where they used to be, but all left is their flesh, bones, and blood.
Max throws his sword over his shoulder: “Glad that’s over”
Mystery suddenly comes into the room from the hallway. She notices the blood and the gore, and gets scared.
Max: “Mom and Dad, I thought that they would put up a bigger fight, they seemed to be such good half dragons, but I guess not”
Mystery’s eyes widen: “Mom? Dad?”
Max nods as Mystery starts crying.
Mystery screams: “Why?”
Max: “I wanted the see if I could defeat the strongest half dragons, and I did (Raises his sword at her) and now to kill you”
Mystery starts running from him, into her bed room. Max follows but the door slams in his face, he turns the knob but it’s locked. He then stabs his blade through the door and hears Mystery scream and whimper, then hears her running and opening her window. Max takes his sword back and quickly sprints out of the house and to the back yard. He looks for Mystery but sees her nowhere.
Alexa from behind him: “Don’t worry, we will find her someday”
Alexa walks up behind him and puts her left hand on his shoulder as he watches the village burn to the ground.
Cut to Max’s wide eye; pan out to see his shocked facial expression. Mystery is still crying, and Hisui stares down at max in a confused expression. They both meet eye to eye and Max’s eyes start tearing up. Max starts shaking as tears run down his face.
Max whispers: “I killed them both”
Hisui didn’t really hear him, angrily: “What did you say?”
Max looks down to see his bloody hands, shaking. Max then puts his hands over his eyes, crying.
Max screams: “NOOOO!”
Max falls over on his right side, he just lies there, tears running down his face and shaking.
Max sobs: “I can’t… NO!”
Flash of everyone in the village smiling: “It’s the promise child”
Max: “I can’t believe that I killed every last one of them”
Mystery looks over to Max: “So you do remember?”
Max whispers: “I killed them all; mom and dad, even my best friend (pauses)… I let everyone down”
Mystery angrily: “You sure did! (Max looks up at her) You where supposed to protect the village after dad was too old to, and you just killed them all”
Max slowly sits up and looks down: “I just don’t understand what happed, (Looks up at her) it’s like I lost control over my own body”
Mystery: “How the hell could that possibly happen. What I think is that you either just went crazy and wanted to kill everyone, or the thought of ruling the village got too much and you killed everyone so you wouldn’t have to”
Max shakes his head, and looks at the ground, thinking to himself.
Flashback to Max walking in a forest with TJ. There are many trees around them, making it almost dark.
TJ: “Do you think we should start heading home now?”
Max: “Probably should, (Smiles) my mom is making my favorite dinner tonight”
TJ laughs: “I think I will join you then”
They continue walking, then they both hear someone walking towards them from behind.
Max quickly turns to see who it is: “Who is there?”
They both see a girl around their age, Alexa.
Alexa: “Hello, I’m Alexa, I’ve seen you guys around here a few times, wanted to get to know you both, and you guys seem to be loads of fun”
TJ: “Yeah, we are fun, but I don’t think we want a girl with us”
Max: “Don’t be so sure of yourself TJ, (To Alexa) I am Max, and this is TJ”
TJ grins: “We are best friends”
Cut to Max and Alexa alone in the woods, they are standing by a big tree. Alexa gets close to Max.
Alexa: “It was very nice meeting your parents”
Max smiles: “It wouldn’t be right if they never met my girlfriend, they had to know why I’ve been out longer than usual”
Alexa smiles: “I just have to do one more thing”
Max is confused: “And what is that?”
Alexa gets close to his right ear: “It’ll be quick”
Alexa then opens her mouth, revealing vampire fangs, and bites into Max’s neck. Max screams and pushes her away from him, he puts his hand over her bite mark.
Max angrily: “What is wrong...”
Max then doubles over in pain.
Max: “What did you do to me?”
Alexa bends down to his face: “We will be together forever”
Alexa then kisses Max, everything turns black.
Cut to Max still looking down to the ground, his eyes widen. He then quickly turns to Alexa, with angry eyes.
Max: “YOU!”
