At the Rastari recording studio.
Carly had gone out to walk with Niall, had thought it best not to interrupt whatever Alexis and Liam needed to talk to.
-Carly, explain something to me? -Niall was confused.
-What?
-Alexis and Liam already knew each other? -You asked knowing it was the only thing that made sense.
-I don't know Niall, Alexis always changes the subject. I think something happened, doesn't Liam tell you anything? -Carly and Niall shared the same doubts.
-Nothing. He never wants to know about Alexis, he avoids magazines, commercials, events, websites ... Anything that has her name he avoids or makes a joke. -Niall said aloud what was going on in Carly's head.
-What's going on between them? Argument? Reconciliation? Settlement of accounts? -I asked.
Niall and Carly went to the stage where they were, but they did not kill or love each other. They were quiet, as if they were remembering something in the past.
-What are you laughing at? -Alexis came in front of Liam to question Carly and Niall.
-To be curious, behave like a woman you are no longer a little girl. -Liam approaches.
-You don't miss any opportunity to throw a tantrum, do you, kid? Alexis composed herself and asked with a sarcastic smile.
-Do you want to go back on that?
-No, she doesn't want to go back on that! -Niall replied, taking the lead from Alexis.
-Great friend, this one that is on her side. -Liam didn't like Liam's defense.
-I'm not on anyone's side, so let's get this fight over with. -Carly agreed, shaking her head.
Alexis and Liam turned to face each other.
-And then, Carly? -Alexis asked the question again.
-Nothing Alexis, we were just talking.
- So you read the script? -Jeff came up with papers in his hands.
-No! -They answered in chorus.
-They are excused for today, to practice the first scene. -Jeff could feel in the air how thankful they were for not having to look at each other's faces for the rest of the day.
-They can start now, just give them the sheets. -Niall butted in.
-Not quite, they are not professionals, Niall. -Jeff teased, but Liam was not amused.
-I know you're saying this because of Alexis who is a newbie. I always do this.
-I'm not a novice at all. - He took the papers from Jeff's hands.
-Is that a yes? -Jeff laughed, reverse psychology always worked with children.
-Certainly! Alexis crossed her arms in offense.
-So let's go, here are your papers, Liam. - He gave the text to Liam and everyone walked towards the first set of the film.
Fourth scenario by Conner Miller.
The story was about the movie was about a powerful young man: Conner Miller and his curse, a passion for a witch. The narrator tells this story.
-Isn't it better to read first? -Alexis felt insecure.
-Just incorporate the witch, it will be easy. -Jeff said leaving the stage.
-We will! -Liam positioned himself with the script in hand, at that time he felt nothing, not even cold in the belly.
Light camera action!
In the great valley of dry leaves, winter is sad and the ground is cold. The top of the cliff housed an earl's castle, Count Dominic, the castle was the only sign of life there, Dominic had a nephew, Conner Miller who carried the same curse as all the firstborn in the family.
A long time ago, the firstborns of the Miller family had been cursed, they didn't even have a good feeling in their hearts. For Conner, loving was an act of blasphemy to itself. Conner was a loner, a wandering knight.
Conner was in his room and from the remains that escaped under the door he noticed the presence of his uncle Dominic, a wise man, despite being sadistic and wicked. Yellow and messy hair, but always elegant and well dressed.
-Conner is time to know your way or you will end up merging with this castle. -Dominic was holding a book.
-To dazzle the magnificent deadly forest? He asked wryly.
-Conner, Conner, Conner ... it's time to get out from under my skirt, -I said firmly. -Go with Lennin, take him for an invigorating walk on the dead ground.
Lennin was Conner's horse, they had each other for a long time, this animal was the only one to whom he placed blind trust.
-I wasn't convinced, but I miss riding. I'll be back when the sun is gone. -He took his sword and left.
-I convinced you! - He told himself.
- I heard that, Uncle Dominic. -Conner replied from the hall, Your uncle always did these things.
Conner picked up his black horse and galloped around the castle. The closed sky and the cold ground, everything was as lifeless as he liked to remember. He decided that he would go to the wild forest, gave the command and his horse rode for long minutes, he did not want to be seen by any unsuspecting peasant who might pass through there. When he found himself alone with Lennin he took a deep breath and was relieved, loneliness was familiar to him.
There he found a spring full of life and crystalline.
-Lennin, what is this place? - Asked knowing that there would be no answer. -Do you feel that energy, exciting and deadly? -Conner tried to describe it, he didn't know what happiness was.
Conner lay on the cold ground, he wanted to watch the treetops, Lennin beat his hooves on the ground, he looked like a happy horse. In that place you could only hear the wind blowing.
-Who's there? -Conner asked, hearing a scraping of leaves, when he got up he noticed a female figure, wearing a beautiful dress.
-Sorry if I scared you, you were so far away. -The redhead apologized, her voice was soft and kind.
- You didn't startle me, witch. He changed his cold tone.
-What? -You got serious.
-You are perfect, you would not be a simple mortal. -You can see the girl smile wide.
-How nice of you. -In a blink of an eye the woman was in front of him, making him uncomfortable.
-That would never be a compliment. -Zombou.
-You are not friendly, get out of this forest. -He warned without taking the smile off his face. Conner expected an offended woman, but she just ignored him, felt like smiling at her petulance, but only one side of her mouth pulled a smile aside. He felt awkward with himself.
-What's in that forest? Why are you here?
- I live here, Conner.
-How do you ...I
-Know your name? -Laughed -I am a dear witch you said yourself. I'm sorry for your family heritage.
-Why are you sorry? -I knew she was talking about her curse, but I didn't understand her concern about it.
-Sorry for not introducing me, I'm Benita. He changed the subject, in the same kind voice.
-What else do you know about my curse? -Conner approached and Benita just stared at him.
-Nothing useful to you, It is getting dark you better go. -Benita again ran away from the subject and gave Lennin an affection that miraculously accepted.
- Feel honored, Lennin does not allow strangers to touch. -Conner warned and Benita laughed.
-I'm not a stranger, I'm an old friend.
-It's a lie! -Conner hated lies and hated that joke.
-I'm a witch, Lennin brought you here because he knew where to find me. Now you need to go. -Benita asked with less sweetness, she looked worried.
Conner didn't know what he was feeling, he felt good and fulfilled, but he didn't know what it was.
"I can't go," he said.
-It is not welcome after the sun goes down.
Conner didn't know what that meant, but he felt Benita's sincerity. I shouldn't believe in witches, but Lennin liked her. What he felt might have been natural for other people, but it was unnatural for him.
-If it's so dangerous, come with me to the castle. I can give you a safe haven. -Conner tried without hope.
"I'm not welcome." He laughed and walked away. -Go fast! -The last sentence seemed to be for Lennin and not Conner.
The farther I was, I felt all those sensations going away. The void was with you again.
And ... Cut ...
