TEASER
NARRATOR: JESSICA BIEL (Raine)
BLACK SCREEN.
RAINE: [voice over] ”Once upon a time there was a girl that dreamt of a normal life; doing all things regular teenagers do. Like shopping at the mall and hanging out with her friends. All that she ever wanted was to love and be loved.” [beat] “But fate had chosen her to fight the forces of evil and so she did. She became a true warrior. She might have been the greatest warrior of all time. Her name was Buffy and she was a slayer just like me.” [beat] “But I am nothing like her.”
FADE IN-
EXT. A ROOFTOP – LOS ANGELES – NIGHT
A CLOSE UP on RAINE as she gracefully ducks form an incoming blow.
RAINE: [v.o] “Unlike Buffy I don’t have any family to hold me back. Not a single soul to distract me from my duties.”
DREW: [off camera] “Raine, help!”
RAINE: [v.o] “Well, except him.”
PANNING OUT to a WIDE SHOT to reveal that a tall and bulky vampire holds the young Watcher’s throat in a death grip.
VAMPIRE: “Back off, bitch, or I make him my next snack.”
RAINE: [v.o] “A slayer must always protect the weak and innocent.”
DREW: “Give it up, demon. She’s gonna dust you anyway.”
RAINE: [v.o] “On the other hand…”
VAMPIRE: “What’s it gonna be, huh?”
RAINE: “You know what? Just kill him. I can easily get another Watcher.”
FOCUS on the vampire’s stunned face. It’s obvious that it hadn’t counted on a response such as that. This shows as his grip around Drew’s throat loosens. And as soon as it does, Raine whips out a stake and throws it with lethal accuracy. It hits its target and Drew is left swatting away the dust particles on his clothes.
DREW: “I almost believed you for a second there.”
A WIDE SHOT of the scene as Raine walks toward the edge of the roof – looking down at the dark alley bellow.
RAINE: “I meant every word I said.”
And she leaps.
FOCUS on Drew as he looks down. From his POV; Raine walks away from the scene.
DREW: [shaking his head] “Crazy ass bitch.”
RAINE: [v.o] “You see; to be a perfect slayer you must be willing to make the hard choices, the sacrifices.” [beat] “Because the mission is all that matters.”

END OF TEASER
ACT ONE
FADE IN-
INT. A CORRIDOR – UNKNOWN FACILITY – DAYTIME
A SHOT of a long stretched corridor as people scurries off in different direction. Most of them are young girls with backpacks and piles and piles of books.
RAINE: [v.o] “To be a slayer is to be alone. Or it used to anyway. Then Buffy decided to share her power with all the Potentials – creating an army of slayers.”
FOCUS on a brown haired timid girl walking by the CAMERA. In her hands is a thick book with the title ‘Demonology’.
RAINE: [v.o] “For a while there were thousands of them all over the world. Using their powers to do good.” [beat] “But then there was an apocalypse like no other before it. A really bad one. And almost every one of them died. Only a few remained.”
PANNING ACROSS the corridor and ZOOMING IN on a closed door with the sign: ‘CLASS ROOM 201, HISTORY.
Through the tinted glass we can see a bunch of girls sitting behind their desks, listening to a middle-aged man – probably their teacher.
TEACHER: “In the middle of the 1500 century a vicious clan of demons called the ‘Argaukhs’ tried to bring fort an apocalypse by sacrificing a slayer. Her name was…”
ZOOMING OUT and continuing down the corridor, past girls that stand in groups or two by two, talking and laughing.
RAINE: [v.o] “Today there’s only a few hundred slayers left in the world. Seventy-six of them have been located.”
ZOOMING IN on another closed door with the sigh: ‘CLASS ROOM 216, THEORY AND PHYSICS.
