INT. CYNTHIA'S APARTMENT

CYNTHIA MARROW was a 32 year old BRUNETTE UNDEAD FEMALE who sets her keys down on the counter in her APARTMENT as she turns on the light to the LIVING ROOM.

CYNTHIA
TOM, TOM I'm home, are you here baby?

CYNTHIA stretches and yawns as she sets her purse and keys down on the table top as she comes into the KITCHEN and opens her fridge grabbing something to drink as she looks around her APARTMENT.

CYNTHIA
TOM, I know you're here, you're parked in the garage.

CYNTHIA heads towards her BEDROOM as she goes to turn on the light but stops as the lamp light near her bed turns on before she switches the LIGHT on, CYNTHIA freezing as she stares forward in terror.

A pair of DEMONIC GREEN EYES pierces through the dark at her before the light of the LAMP illuminates his face.

CYNTHIA
NICK...How....

NICK
Did I get out of PRISON?

NICK GARCIA, a fit and intimidatingly creepy DEMON sits on the side of CYNTHIA'S bed, rubbing his hands together as stares at her.

NICK
I had some friends outside I didn't know I had anymore.

CYNTHIA
You shouldn't..why are you here...? TOM!

NICK
I missed you, CYNTHIA...I've missed you for a long time. 55 years I rotted in the OMEGA WARD, because of you.

CYNTHIA
I had too...I had to NICK you were...out of control...you were becoming more and more of a MONSTER...TOM!

NICK
Are you still afraid of me? After all of this time, CYN, I would have never hurt you...

CYNTHIA
TOM!

NICK
He can't help you, stop calling for him, it's annoying.

CYNTHIA
What did you do to TOM!

NICK eyes the BATHROOM door in the BEDROOM as CYNTHIA hurries to it and screams loudly as she steps away as BLOOD and INTESTINES and other LIMBS are spread all about the room as CYNTHIA turns to run but as she gets into the KITCHEN, NICK is already upon her, grabbing her by her hair as he slams her face into the wall, CYNTHIA going limp in his arms as NICK takes her to the ground and mounts her, wrapping his hands around her throat as he begins squeezing hard, digging his thumbs into her eyes as she struggles as NICK whispers softly to her.

NICK
I would never hurt you...I wouldn't of...

NICK whispers this over and over as his thumbs pierce into her eyes as a blood curdling scream rings out before WHITE LIGHT IMPLODES around NICK.

INT. THE DINER

SHANE steps inside as he looks to see AUSTIN and ANTHONY sitting over at the table near COLBY, SHANE rolling his eyes as he goes to leave but stops as COLBY calls him out, SHANE turning as he comes over towards them.

COLBY
At least you THREE are punctual enough to show up.

SHANE
What is this about?

COLBY
The three of you need to fight.

ANTHONY
Come again?

COLBY
I've seen the way the three of you look at each other as of late, the way you treat each other. You're all primed to explode and when you do it's going to be at the detriment of everyone. Right now you need to be unifying, not pulling apart. CHARLES, and NIKKI and EMMA can only keep things afloat for so long. So here's what's going to happen.
