Episode 1- Make it Yours
TEASER
(A woman is running through a dark alley; her breathing is heavy and scan down to the object around her neck being held in one hand. Cut to her shadowed face; she catches a breath and glances back. Cut to the object that we soon see is a small ball, glowing electric blue. We come back up to the woman’s face who looks to be rather young, but still there isn’t a clear view of her. She is pulling a blue jacket around her to rid herself of the cold winter weather. She stops to lean against the side of a building, and this is where footsteps can be heard. The woman grips the ball tightly and lifts it to her lips before thrusting it out in front of her. There is a noise like a rumble of thunder, than silence)
Woman: (gasps and glances behind her)
(Cut to the bell, than cut to the woman’s face) That should give me some time.
(The woman takes off down the dark alley)

Act 1, Scene 1
(The Backstreet Boys- Backstage during the late night after a concert. Nick is towel drying his hair on a stool. AJ is pacing backstage, and glancing out to the crowd. Kevin is talking with the bodyguard near the curtain. Brian is relaxing on a chair, with his arms folded behind his head and Howie is reading a fan’s letter)
AJ: (confused) What are we waiting for, again?
Nick: (looks up from his towel) Billy.
AJ: (nods) Oh… yeah… and why is that?
Kevin: (offering with a nod) Because if we tried to leave alone, like we did last week we’ll get mobbed and you’ll break something else. Billy will get us to our bus safely.
AJ: (nodding) Okay… I get that.
Howie: Bump on your head still got ya, bud?
AJ: (rubs at his temple and looks to Howie with a grimace) Bein slammed up against the bus wasn’t exactly a spiritual experience. I told you I saw spots.
Nick: That looked a lot like pink elephants.
AJ: Drop that, Carter.
(Nick snickers into his towel, but his smile is revealed)
Kevin: Okay, okay we don’t need a fight in here…
Nick: Whose fighting?
AJ: (avoiding the topic) Where the hell is Billy?
(Billy appears almost on cue through the stage doors. He is holding the doors closed with his back. Billy is a big guy with muscled arms, and strong chest beneath a yellow t-shirt)
Billy: (out of breath) Right here. I meant to check out the area, see if it was safe. Fans must’ve been waitin for me, though. I got back here, but my jacket was lost in the crowd.
(All the guys gear up to leave the arena and Kevin passes Billy to pat his shoulder) Kevin: You’re new. You’ll get it.
(Cut close to the bodyguard who exhales heavily)
Billy: Yay.
(Nick is the last to leave, but nearing the doors he remembers that he has left something)
Nick: Damn.
Billy: Come on, man it’s rough out there.
Nick: (contemplating his choices of leaving or going back) Hey uh… I think I can manage, just make sure the driver brings the bus extra close, k?
Billy: (shrugs) Sure.
Nick: Thanks, man. (holds up an “I won’t be long” finger and races back to the stage area)
(Close up on Billy as he’s leaving, shaking his head)
Billy: This ain’t gonna be an easy job.
(The doors close behind him and lock)
(Meanwhile… Close up on Nick, picking up his new chain with a medallion in the shape of the aquarius sign from off the practice drumset beneath the stage. Nick sighs relieved and turns back to go up to backstage. At first there is a chiming sound like tiny bells and Nick stops to look around for the source of the sound. He sees the bodyguard who is eyeing him now.)
Nick: Hey, Kel, what are you still doin here?
(The bells continue to chime softly and Nick rubs at his ears)
Kel: My job, sir
(The bells chime louder, causing Nick to look for the source again)
Nick: (shrugs with raised eyebrows) Sure, well see ya. Try and have a good one, k? (He walks towards the doors, as he does up the buckles of his new yellow NIKE jacket. ) Kel… (He turns to finish and finds that Kel has vanished) That was fast. (With a shrug, Nick lifts his new chain to clasp around his neck. He turns to leave… gasp…the chiming ends- there stands a woman, gasping heavily- she is wearing a blue jacket, and holding a ball in her hand. Nick glances back, than faces her in utter confusion) Who the hell…
Woman: (wavers) I made it to you… Nick…
Nick: Uh huh, but we’re not havin the usual meet and greet today so if ya don’t mind, I gotta get goin.
(Cut to woman, clutching her stomach- she holds the ball out to him) Woman: Wait… take this…
Nick: (glances to the ball, and shakes his head) Uh… no, that’s okay I think I’ll pass.
Woman: No, listen to me. You must take this bell… I can’t… I can’t… (she collapses forward, and Nick catches her before she can hit the floor)
Nick: What’s wrong with you?
Woman: Make it yours.
Nick: (takes the bell- a white flash envelopes Nick like a camera flash, at this very moment, he lifts his hand to see blood drip off his fingers) Oh god…
Woman: Only the one who hears the bell’s chime can be the new possesser…
Nick: (panicking) I gotta get ya to a doctor.
Woman: Find my sister… she’ll tell you… she’ll know. Laura… tell her I’m sorry, and I love her… (falls limp)
(Close up on Nick, holding the girl close to him now and the bells chime…)
Mystik2~Act 1 Sence 2~
(Focus on Nick, rocking on the sofa in the living room of his suite)
Nick: (dazed) Her name was Blu… she died… (winces) she died, man. I saw it.
(Pull back to see Howie, standing next to the arm of the sofa. He is watching Nick with sympathetic eyes)
Howie: (trying to console) We all see weird things…
Nick: This wasn’t weird. (looks up at Howie) I’ve never seen stuff like that before. I never wanted to.
Howie: Nobody really wants to see death.
Nick: It freaked me out. I felt like I was gonna pass out, luckily Kel was there or I would’ve dropped Blu. (stares at the ball he has clenched in one hand) I have to get rid of this or I won’t ever get those images out of my head.
Howie: But she wanted you to have it.
Nick: (shakes his head) I don’t care. I keep gifts when I’m not watching the girl die in front of me. This is different… this was traumatizing
Howie: (nods) Right, I’ll tell the guys. For the best, right?
Nick: Defenitely for the best…
