L’AMOUR DU SANG Written by Thomas West, Co-written by Luke Parker, Corey Kasza & Karl Swales.
SCENE 1. EXT URBAN AREA. EARLY EVENING.
JASPER is sat on a bench; he is staring at a woman across the street.
JASPER
It wasn’t always like this; I was normal like everyone else. I didn’t ask for it, I wouldn’t wish this upon anyone. Imagine living everyday hating yourself and who you are.
Look at her. She’s innocent, pure, human.
SCENE 2. EXT CHURCH. EVENING
JASPER is exiting a church; he walks solemnly with his hands in his pockets, he walks towards the gate, but a mysterious figure is stood looking at him. JASPER starts walking the other way to the other exit, but another figure is stood there. Several shots show us that they are vampires, they show their fangs and start hissing, they advance on jasper who rummages round to find his cross, he holds the cross in front of his face. The brown Haired Vampire [MARQ] grabs the cross and throws it away the blond haired vampire [LOUIS] grab’s JASPER and restrain’s him, while JASPER tries his hardest to escape. The Ginger Vampire [SOLOMON] Advances towards JASPER, and toys with him before biting his neck.
SCENE 3. EXT. URBAN AREA. EVENING.
The Young woman, Abi, walks across a road and looks at Jasper
ABI
Do you have a light mate?
JASPER
(Shocked) Excuse me?
ABI
A light, for this (waves cigarette)
JASPER
Sorry I don’t have one.
ABI
Oh okay! (Sits down next to Jasper and starts rummaging through her bag)
ABI starts looking through her bag for a lighter
ABI
Got it…would you like one? (Offers cigarette to Jasper)
JASPER
Sure
(They smoke. Abi’s smoke is white, but Jaspers is red, she doesn’t notice any difference.)
SCENE 4. EXT. DARK URBAN AREA. NIGHT. HEAVY RAIN
Close up of Jasper, he is laid on the ground on a dark rainy evening, his face is covered in blood, he has just been in a fight and has been abandoned we see the other vampires returning to him
MARQ
Have we made our point clear now!
LOUIS
Betray us again and you’ll wish you were never born!
JASPER
You don’t understand! I don’t want to be like this anymore!
MARQ
Let me pummel the bastard!
SOLOMON
Wait…we give you the gift of immortality and this is how you repay us?
LOUIS and MARQ start to beat us JASPER, They all put up the fight of their lives, blood splatters everywhere, and JASPER gets thrown to the floor again.
SOLOMAN
Have you learnt your lesson yet?
JASPER
I will never be one of you!
MARQ snarls and lunges forward but LOUIS restrains him.
SOLOMAN –
Well you shall be destroyed!
LOUIS
Any last words?
JASPER
Bite me!
MARQ
(Chuckles) don’t worry we will.
LOUIS, MARQ & SOLOMON surround JASPER, he slumps into a ball and remains still.
SCENE 5 EXT URBAN AREA. EVENING
JASPER is looking down at his feet his cigarette burning away, ABI looks at him
ABI
I’m Abi by the way (she smiles)
JASPER
Jasper
ABI
I was wondering…would you like to go for a drink?
Jasper
I would like that.
They start walking away from the bench and walk past a dark alleyway, Jasper starts to twitch, he is visibly starting to change more ‘vampire’ like.
JASPER
Wait here; I’ll be rite back.
ABI
Okay
Jasper scuttles into the alleyway, his eyes start to get darker, his face goes pale and his fangs are more pronounced than before, in his head we see a montage of the other three vampires: LOUIS, MARQ & SOLOMON, laughing and taunting him, we also see all the events of the film so far and a few shots of JASPER’s struggle.
JASPER
Abi! I need your help a minute.
ABI runs into the alleyway, she seems apprehensive.
ABI
What’s wrong? (She sees jasper) oh my god!
JASPER
I’m so sorry, but I can’t take it anymore, I must have your blood.
ABI
I knew it, vampire, I can help you.
JASPER
Its too late, i'm so sorry
JASPER attacks ABI, they fight, at one point JASPER has the upper hand and attempts to bite ABI, but she manages to break free, she then rummages through her bag and gets out a gun and a stake.
ABI
I didn’t want to have to do this.
She shoots him several times in the stomach and blood splatters everywhere, he lies on the ground in pain and starts to panic. She then stabs the stake through his chest and he eventually dies. She sits next to him on the ground, and wipes the blood from his forehead. She puts the same cross that JASPER lost in an earlier scene around his neck. She kisses his forehead sobbing and walks away from him. The last shot is of jaspers head on the ground with ABI’s feet walking away.
