"The Longing" (Part 2) by Lisa

[minpetella]

Morning time in the conservatory. Daytime Students are walk about the room. Mimi and Malcolm are sitting on the couch, Nick comes up to them.

NICK: So what the hell happened last night?

MALCOLM: What do you mean?

NICK: You didn’t hear that god awful Scream? What are you deaf?

MALCOLM: No! Just a heavy sleeper.

MIMI: So what do you think it was?

NICK: I have no idea… but I’m going to find out. (He leaves off so fast before Malcolm or Mimi could say anything)

MALCOLM: Do you think Nick just imagined the scream? I mean that I might be a heavy sleeper but I think I would have heard a scream.

MIMI: I was with Nick when we heard the scream. He’s not imaging anything. In fact I think I’ll join Nick in solving this mystery. (She gets up and runs in the direction Nick went)

MALCOLM: Hey… (Starts to pack up stuff) Wait… I’m coming too! (Runs after them)

Night Time down in the cellar. Vampires are just getting up. Drew is already up, sitting at the table.

KARL: Couldn’t sleep, Drew?

DREW: No… It’s funny…

ESSIE: What’s Funny? (Sits with the guys)

DREW: Well, How in the world did Kali survive, that sun should of killed her even though Murdoch got to her in time.

MERRILL: Kali, and the elders can only answer that question. (Sits with them and opens her book)

MARTY: The Elders won’t tell you a d**n thing!

ESSIE: What about Murdoch? He’s buddy, buddy with Vakaal, isn’t he?

KARL: You know Drew; it’s worth a try.

(Drew sits there for a little bit and finally gets up and walks away)

MARTY: Hey! Drew! Where are you going?

ESSIE: Like you don’t know!

Upstairs in Murdochs Study. Drew comes up the stairs and Murdoch comes walking in.

MURDOCH: Oh! Drew… What can I help you with?

DREW: I want to talk about Kali.

MURDOCH: Don’t you mean Catherine? (Drew nods) Well what do you want to know?

DREW: Do you know if she’s okay?

MURDOCH: Drew… let me tell you something, when it comes to matters of the heart, of another ones heart. It’s best to just forget about them. You didn’t even love her back. Why now Drew? Why do you care to know about her now?

DREW: I couldn’t sleep last night. I couldn’t stop thinking about her. Deep down I think I do still love her and would love to see her again. Isn’t that what Vakaal said, “When the time is right, she’ll be back.”? Well when will that be?

MURDOCH: That’s up to Vakaal. And when she comes back, will you tell her how you feel?

DREW: I should, but…

MURDOCH: But what? If you still have feelings for her, wont you let her know.

DREW: There’s something else I wanted to know.

MURDOCH: What’s that?

DREW: How did Kali, I mean Catherine. How did she survive the suns rays?

MURDOCH: Well you know the answer to that one. You too got hit by the suns rays once upon a time. Wasn’t it the first day you came to Mansbridge? Sherry was fending off Nick’s torcher and you came to her defence.

DREW: Yes…but that was stupid of me. And Kali was out side far longer then I was in the sunshine. I only got miner burns.

MURDOCH: You can ask Kali, the next time you see her. That’s if Vakaal will allow it. Well let’s get to class, shall we? (They both head down stairs to the others)

Downstairs in the Cellar, Everyone sitting at the table. Drew and Murdoch come downstairs.
MURDOCH: Let’s begin Class! Open your books to page 17. (All of a sudden Vakaal shows up.) Vakaal!

VAKAAL: Murdoch… may I have a word with you, in private?

MURDOCH: Sure, this way. (They head upstairs.)

ESSIE: What was that all about?

MERRILL: Kali.

DREW: How do you know Merrill? You can’t mind read an elder.

MERRILL: I just know, okay!

KARL: So if she is coming back, what are you gonna to do?

(Drew gets a look on his face.)

Morning Time, Nick is snooping around outside. Mimi and Malcolm come up behind him and scares him.

NICK: Geezes guys! You scared me half to death!

MIMI: What are you doing?

NICK: Looking for clues. And I found one! (Points to the ground)

MIMI: What!? That!? That’s not a clue. The caretaker just put that down this morning.

NICK: Yeah, but the question is… Why?

MALCOLM: To cover something up?

NICK: (puts his arms around the twos necks, like buddies do and they walk back to the Manor) Exactly!! And we’re gonna find out what was covered up, tonight.

MIMI: (they stop) This is so stupid! There’s probably a logical explanation why they changed the grass.

MALCOLM: Do you think a vampire got caught in the sun, that’s why you heard a scream?

NICK: Don’t be stupid Malcolm! You and your vampires. Although… Nah! (They enter the school) We’ll meet back here at Midnight. Don’t tell anybody! (Hits Malcolm on the head)

MALCOLM: Hey! What was that for?

MIMI: Don’t take it personally Malcolm. (She leaves)
MALCOLM: (says this kind of sassy) Don’t take it personally Malcolm. I still think it was a vampire? And I’ll prove it. (Storms off and crashes into a girl, and they fall to the ground) Oh, sorry!

GIRL: It’s okay really! (They look at each other) Malcolm?

MALCOLM: Kali!? What are you doing back? I haven’t seen you for a long-time. Where have you been?

KALI: I got kicked out for doing stuff, I shouldn’t have been doing. I’m back that’s all that matters. (She gets a look in her eyes)

Midnight Down in the Cellar, Drew quickly opens his coffin.

DREW: She’s Back!

MARTY: Say what?

DREW: (gets out of coffin) Catherine.

MERRILL: How do you know Drew?

DREW: I can feel her.

MARTY: Your loosing it Drew, seriously.

DREW: No it’s true! I know she’s here. I felt like this every time we meet each other under that oak tree.

ESSIE: Oak tree? (Does a coo-coo gesture)

MERRILL: I can sense anything?

DREW: I’m going to go to her. (Runs off, just as Drew is leaving Murdoch enters and stops Drew)

MURDOCH: Where are you off to Drew?

DREW: I’m going to go see Kali.

MURDOCH: But she’s not here Drew.

DREW: I know she’s here, I can feel her.

MURDOCH: Drew! She’s not here! Now sit down! (The others sit down and Drew turns to go and sit. Murdoch walks ahead but then Drew takes off for upstairs really fast) DREW!!!

Upstairs in the entranceway Malcolm, Mimi, and Nick are about to go outside.

KALI: Whacha guys doing?

[minpetella]

THE THREE: Ah!

MIMI: Kali? When did you get back?

MALCOLM: Never mind that, we have a mission.

NICK: Couldn’t stay away from me, hey?

KALI: Gag me with a sthingy! So what are you guys doing?

MALCOLM: Searching for Vampires!

KALI: Vampires? They don’t exisist Malcolm. You’ve been reading those Vampire books again, haven’t you?

NICK: We’re investigating, a spot outside on the lawn.

KALI: What’s so special about this piece of lawn?

NICK: Well we don’t know yet. You coming?

KALI: Why not, it might be fun.

They all head outside to the spot of grass. Drew then comes through study door and see’s that the door is open. He goes to see what’s going on.

NICK: Malcolm, help me with this. (They lift up the piece of grass)

MIMI: What’s that?

MALCOLM: (says it confusing) It looks like someone was standing here and was on fire.

KALI: Let’s put it back. I thought I heard something.

NICK: Don’t be a chicken!

MALCOLM: I was reading something in my vampire book…

NICK: Oh here we go again!

MALCOLM: No just listen! I have the book right here. (Opens book) It says right here. (Points to paragraph)”Vampires are known to kill themselves by the suns light…”

NICK: (grabs book) Shut up Malcolm! Look, what ever this is, Dr. Murdoch knows about it. We’ll just ask him.

MIMI: He won’t tell you anything.

NICK: Well let’s just go ask him, shall we. (Starts to walk towards the School and the others follow)

Inside the school Drew is at the door and Merrill sneaks up behind him

MERRILL: What…

DREW: Geeze Merrill!

MERRILL: What? (Drew walks away from her a heads back to the study she follows) What were you doing by the door? (They stop and he turns to her)

DREW: It’s none of your Business.

MERRILL: (looks at him funny)

DREW: What?!

MERRILL: You forgot I can read minds. You thought you saw Kali, Am I right?

Drew: What was that? (Looks at door, the two of them take off to the cellar and in walks The 4 day students)

KALI: Look, I think this is a waste of time talking to Murdoch.

NICK: Then leave.

KALI: Fine I will. (She storms off, seconds later in walks Murdoch)

MURDOCH: What are you guys doing in here?

NICK: I got some questions for you.

MURDOCH: About what Nick?

NICK: A couple of nights ago Mimi…

MIMI: Don’t get me involved Nick.

NICK: Fine. I! heard a loud scream outside. Today we! Found some burnt marks outside, where that new piece of grass is laid. I want to know what’s going on. Old Malcolm (Pats him on his shoulder) here thinks its Vampire suicide.

MURDOCH: (laughs) Well, It’s quite simple, last night I took some students out and we did a little experiment on Acid and a student spilled the liquid on the grass. Thank God no one was hurt. Is that all Nick?

NICK: I guess.

MURDOCH: Now I would suggest you guy’s head off to bed.

They leave disappointed and Murdoch gets what he came for and leaves too. After Murdoch is gone Drew and Merrill come out of the Cellar.

MERRILL: That was close! Now, back to kali.

DREW: Not now Merrill. (He leaves Merrill and heads for the library.)

In the Library. Drew enters the room and wonders around, then he see’s a figure walk passed a bookshelf. But he cannot see who it is. He follows the shadow until he finds it.

DREW: Hello! Kali, is that you? (The figure just stands there with it’s back towards him) Kali?

FIGURE: No, Drew…it’s… (The figure turns around) Sherry.

DREW: (A surprised look) Sherry! No, your dead.

SHERRY: Well, Drew… aren’t you gonna give me a kiss? Aren’t you happy to see me? (Goes over to him and kisses him)

DREW: No, You’re not real! Get away from me! (He turns to go; the figure turns into Merrill and turns him around)

MERRILL: Drew what’s wrong? It looks like you’ve seen a ghost.

DREW: Merrill, did you see her?

MERRILL: See whom? I’ve been here the whole time.

DREW: Sherry? She was right here.

MERRILL: Drew, you’re loosing it.

DREW: Where did you come from?

MERRILL: From the study. Why?

DREW: Something’s different about you.

MERRILL: What do you mean?

DREW: You’re not Merrill. Who are you?

MERRILL: I’m whoever you want me to be, Drew. (Changes form into Kali) Who ever you desire that’s who I’ll be.

DREW: (Walks backwards away from her) Who sent you?

MERRILL: (Changes form again into what it really is) Shakari, sent me

DREW: Shakari? Why?

FURY MONSTER: To find the ones who appose him. I must kill you now.

The Monster lunges at Drew but Drew speeds away out of the way. And get behind the monster and a fight breaks out between the two of them. The Fury monster changes form and is now Kali again.

KALI: Drew! Stop! You’re hurting me! (She kicks him off and they are sitting on the ground out of breath)

DREW: This is another one of your tricks.

KALI: No! Drew it really is me! Please listen. Something funny is going on with you and yes Shakari is probably the one to blame. (Get’s up and goes to him to help him up) You see I was sent back here the first time to find out what’s been going on with you, but my feelings got in the way and then I had to see you and let you know that we once loved each other. That’s why the elders saved me and I had to be re trained. They need to find out who and what did something to you.

DREW: I don’t believe you. For all I know your still tricking me, Becoming Kali like before.

KALI: Drew, that didn’t happen. It’s your mind playing tricks on you. I’ll prove it. (Walks away)

DREW: Where are you going? (Goes after her)

Down in the cellar. The other vampires are about. Murdoch is down there as well. In walks Kali and drew is not far behind.

KARL: Look, Kali’s back. (Murdoch turns around to face her)

MURDOCH: Kali what are you doing back?

KALI: Look, Murdoch… tell Drew why I’m here. He doesn’t believe me.

DREW: It’s not that I don’t believe her; it’s just that something weird happened in the Library.

KALI: Yeah, like you trying to kill me.

ESSIE: Drew! You tried to kill your love? (Kali gets a look on her face)

DREW: No! I don’t know, one moment she’s Sherry and the next…

MURDOCH: Sherry?

DREW: Yeah, but then she changed into a fury Monster. And we fought; it then changed back to Kali.

MERRILL: What’s going on Murdoch?

MURDOCH: I’ll have to discus this with the elders. Maybe they know what’s going on. For now Drew, Stay down here. Kali come with me. (They leave together upstairs.

MARTY: Well you heard Murdoch. Drew is under house arrest. Poor Drew.

KARL: Marty shut up, it could of easily happened to you you, not Drew.

MARTY: Get real Karl, Everything bad happens to Drew. (Drew storms off to his coffin and Merrill follows)

MERRILL: Don’t listen to Marty. Murdoch will find out what’s happing to you.

DREW: I can’t stay down here. I feel like I’m going to explode. I need…

MERRILL: What…? Kali. Your once true love. What if she’s doing this to you? She went into your mind before; to show you the past maybe she did something to you.

[minpetella]

DREW: Kali wouldn’t do that to me! You don’t understand Merrill and you never will! Leave me the hell alone! (Gets into coffin and shuts the lid)

ESSIE: God Merrill, lay off.

DREW: (in coffin) It’s not Kali doing this to me. It can’t be, Why would she show herself to the others? (Opens lid and sneaks out of the room)

In the Study, Murdoch and Kali are talk.

KALI: But Murdoch…

MURDOCH: But what? Do it, and say away from Drew until we figure this out. Well I got to speak with the elders. I’ll be back shortly. (He leave and drew enters room)

DREW: Kali.

KALI: Drew! You scared me. What are you doing up here?

DREW: Don’t listen to Murdoch, I wont hurt you, I love you too much to hurt you. Am I going crazy?

KALI: I don’t think so, Some one must have entered your mind, when I was showing you our past together. But who could it be? I don’t think it was Shakari.

DREW: Marty!!

KALI: What?!
DREW: Marty entered Sherry’s dreams with me the last time I went into her dreams. Marty could of did this again. He’s been acting weird lately. (Heads for the cellar)

KALI: Where are you going?

DREW: To confront Marty!

In the celler: Drew goes up to Marty and punches him in the face.

MARTY: What was that for?

DREW: You know.

MERRILL: Drew what’s wrong with you?

DREW: He’s been messing with my mind!

MARTY: I have not!

MURDOCH: Marty’s right, it’s not him. It’s Kali.

EVERYONE: Kali!!!!

KALI: Me! How?

MURDOCH: Well… Since you entered Drew’s mind, you must have messed up something, his reality.

DREW: Well she’ll just have to fix it.

KALI: But how? If I don’t know what I did the first time, how do I fix it?

MURDOCH: Just go back in.

KALI: Okay.

MURDOCH: Drew sit here. (drew sits down) And Kali sit here. (she sits infront of Drew)

KALI places her hands on Drew’s hands and they close their eyes. Entering Drew’s mind. Kali is walking around in Drew’s mind. And then she see’s it. The monster in his head. It comes running up to her and pushes her down. Kali gets up fangs out and they fight. Kali finally knocks it to the ground and get on top of it.

KAIL: Get out of Drew’s head!!

The monster tosses her off and charges at her. Kali quickly grabs a sharp object from the ground and stabs the beast in the heart. The Monster explosses and Drew enters his mind and embraces Kali. They kiss and return to the real world still kissing.

MURDOCH: (clears voice. The two stop kissing and look at Murdoch) Well is it over?

KALI: Yes it’s over Dr. Murdoch. Drew is free, And my job here is done.

Morning time Nick, Malcolm, and Mimi sitting on the couch asleep. They wake up.

MIMI: Morning already.

NICK: What!!?

MALCOME: You missed it Nick. Now you’ll never figure out what’s been going on. You fell asleep.

NICK: I don’t care about that anymore. Who cares. I’m going to my room.

And that is that. Nick goes to his room leaving Mimi and Malcolm on the couch all confused.

[Scanjet]

Really interesting Fan Fictions there minpetella, I throughly enjoyed them.

[minpetella]

Why thank you scanjet! I thought I would share them with you guys. Glad you like them.

[Scanjet]

Anymore planned?

[minpetella]

well I did have one for a second season but I never got around to finnishing it.

[Scanjet]

Myself and Timeladyshaye are setting up a season 2, you might like to write some episodes when that comes along.

[Melissa Kane]

Very good story, Minpetella!! Well done!

I have one question, though. (I apologise if the answer is in there and I misread, hun) Who exactly was Kali? Was she really Drew's lost love? Or was she just a tool of The Elders or Dr Murdoch?

Take care and be good,
'Lissa

[crystalyna]

Bonnie here, this is really good. Hope to see more of your work.

Yes, I made her a lost love from the past, plus she kinda was a tool of the Elders.

A back story for this might help. After Kali aka Catherine lost Drew so many centuries ago the Elders took her under their wing teaching her things about living with humans and such, just like the 5 vamps but being as it was many years ago before the five got this opportunity to tame their predatory instincts, Kali aka Catherine surpassed all teachings and was sent out to be with humans, thus Murdoch enter the picture and has to Finnish what the Elders are teaching her. But in doing so and not knowing about Hers and Drew's past they met up. and She just has to let Drew know everything about them cause he doesn't believe it's true because he saw her dead, which wasn't true.

I hope that helps somewhat.

[Melissa Kane]

Ahh, I see now!! *lol* Thanks for clearing that up for me! ;D

Are you writing more fanfics anytime soon in which Kali makes a reappearance? *crosses fingers hopefully*
'Lissa

[minpetella]

well I might have too, since you liked this one. We'll see. Busy with other writting things at the moment. LOL, But I'll try to work on one.
