High School

(Michael, Brenda, and a few friends are hanging around in the school cafeteria)

Brenda- So, Michael. I heard you joined this new band the other day.

Michael- Yeah, they're called the Dark Crusaders! It's a heavy metal band, all Goth and everything!

Sean- Last I heard, Gothic makeup freaked you out!

Michael- That was when I was a little kid, man! You know I was a sissy.

Sean- Yeah, you were. Remember the time, when we were in 2nd Grade, and I scared the crap out of you by pretending to be this zombie trying to kill you?

Michael- How could I forget? Brenda was in on it, too!

Sean- Yeah, she recorded the mixtape. It's a good thing I watched horror movies back then, those loud, grizzly sound effects used to scare me too.

Michael- Well, I'm grown up now. These kiddish pranks don't work on me anymore!

Sean- And that's why you have no problem in going Goth?

Michael- None at all.

Brenda- (kisses Michael) After all, my little baby's all grown up!

Michael- Okay, Brenda, that's enough.

Brenda- Is it, Michael?

Michael- Look, one more word-

Brenda- And what will you do? Break up with me?

Michael- (kissing her) You're one naughty girl.

Sean- Okay, listen. I'm gonna get us something to- (suddenly, he's hit by gunfire and falls down, dead. Brenda screams, and is shot dead too. Michael looks around, just in time to see the killer's face before he's shot)

3 hours later

(The school is surrounded by police cars and an ambulance. News reporters have surrounded the area cordoned off by the police)

Reporter 1- The shootout at Virgin High School has just ended with the police discovering the dead bodies of the perpetrators, who like every deranged student before them, ended up committing suicide.

Reporter 2- Police and the paramedics are still continuing rescue operations with the building. However, the death toll has already begun rising. Our sources have told us-

Reporter 3- Some of the dead bodies recovered by the police have been identified by their respective families. These include freshmen Michael Keane, Brenda Frasier, and Sean Houston.....

The next day

(A news channel is running a story on the High School massacre)

Reporter- It's been a day since two deranged students wreaked havoc at the Virgin High School. But the wounds inflicted by the incident are yet to heal. Meanwhile, new skeletons are tumbling out of the closets of the two perpetrators, Joe "Grunge" Kelso, and Frank "The Nightmare" Smith. Here's a video clip they sent to our channel shortly before the shootout began.

(Clip starts playing. Two teenagers and dancing around, holding toy guns)

Grunge- MOTHERFUCKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Frank- Yeah! You assholes is going down!

Grunge- Down, down , doooooooowwwwwwwwn!

(Clip ends)

Reporter- We would have warned that the clip has highly disturbing content, but we've already played it- (TV is switched off. A little kid runs towards the adult who was watching it)

Kid- Daddy!

Daddy- (lifting her up) Hey, Amanda baby!

Amanda- Daddy, when is Michael's funeral going to begin?

Daddy- Mommy's gone to take his body from the morgue. We'll bury him when she gets back.

Amanda- Daddy, what will happen to Michael after the funeral?

Daddy- (taking Amanda to her bedroom and laying her down) Well, when Michael's buried, a crow will come, and take his spirit to the land of the dead.

Amanda- You mean, where all the dead people are?

Daddy- Exactly. Then he can go back to his best friends, who were killed off too!

Amanda- But what happened to Michael was really bad. He should not have died like this. Can the crow bring him back to life, daddy?

Daddy- I'm sorry, baby girl, he can't. (a crow watches them, perched on a nearby tree. Just then, it begins to rain heavily, and lightening strikes the house, causing a power outage)

Daddy- Stupid lightening!

(the following morning, Michael's family carries his coffin to the cemetery. Brenda and Sean are having their funeral there too. The Priest reads out Michael's eulogy)

Priest- We have all gathered here, to mourn the tragic demise of Michael Keane. A devoted son, a bright student....yada yada yada.....may his soul rest in peace. (the coffin is buried)

Mommy- (tearful) I can't believe our son had to be victim of such a tragic incident!

Daddy- There there, darling. When fate decides to take one of us away, there's nothing much we can do.

(Brenda's family meets their family)

Brenda's mommy- Your son was killed too?

Mommy- Yes, Alison! (crying)

Alison- Oh, Martha! Whatever did we do wrong in our lives to deserve this?

Daddy- Well, I was a crack dealer in my past life. Maybe that counts.

Brenda's daddy- And I was an Al-Qaida operative. Man, karma is a bitch!

Alison- That can't be true, David! How do you know what happened in your past life?

David- Have you ever read the "Reincarnation" magazine that I subscribed to?

Alison- Of course not! I can't believe you actually believe what they tell you!

David- Of course I do! Why do you think I subscribed to it?

Martha- And you too, Dylan! What did I tell you about superstitions?

Dylan- I really don't think this is the right time to talk about this. I mean, what difference does it make? Our children are gone, and they're never coming back, no matter what we say or do.

Martha- You're right. Our children are dead. All we can do now is hope that their souls rest in peace.

(Sean's parents approach them)

Sean's dad- That might be difficult, given the way they died.

Dylan- Yes. It's times like these when a terrible sadness is carried with the death of loved ones. I don't know about their souls, I'm definitely not gonna be able to rest in peace.

Sean's dad- Me neither, given how our misdeeds in our past lives were responsible for this tragedy-

All mothers- Not you too!

Sean's dad- Why won't you ever accept that I was a Nazi in my past life!!

Sean's mom- Cause it isn't- oh, forget it.

Dylan- If only there was a way....to set the wrong things right.

Amanda- Daddy, you told me about the crow! Couldn't he do something?

Martha- (outraged) Dylan!

Dylan- (to Amanda) I don't know, baby girl. I don't know. (to Martha, discreetly) Let's talk about this later.

(it starts raining, and the families go home. It's during that time, when the cemetery is completely deserted, that the crow flies towards Michael's grave. It perches on the gravestone, and starts pecking it. Soon enough, the grave caves in, and Michael crawls out, gasping frantically.)

Crow- Hey, there, kid!

Michael- (gasping heavily, still taking in the surroundings)

Crow- (tapping his claws impatiently)

Michael- What.....what happened?

Crow- FINALLY! Usually takes hours for my clients to get out of the shock. It's really annoying.

Michael- Who....who are you? What have you done to me?

Crow- I'm the guy who brought you back to life, kiddo. You know....to set the wrong things right.

Michael- You're....that crow?

Crow- WHAT? How do you know about me?

Michael- My...dad told me this legend about how when people die-

Crow- Okay, okay, I've heard enough. Wanna know how you got here, why you are here, etc, etc?

Michael- I know how I got here. I was shot dead and then buried. Duh! (snorts)

Crow- Well, that was quick. How about, why you're here?

Michael- Alright, I have no idea.

Crow- Your death was due to was a horrific act of evil. One that has cast a shadow of misery over your entire family and friends. Those who survived, that is.

Michael- You mean my family-

Crow- Nah, just your friends. Some of 'em died along with you when two psychos started shooting at everyone in your school.

Michael- Brenda!.......Sean!

Crow- Yeah, sad, I know.

Michael- Please! Can you-

Crow- Oh, come on! That's got to be the most pathetic favor anybody's asked of me!

Michael- You didn't even hear what I had to say!

Crow- You want me to bring Brenda and Sean back to life, don't you?

Michael- (embarrassed) Um...yeah....

Crow- Yeah, so you can wander the entire world like undead zombies for the rest of your life! Don't you get it? Brenda and Sean have been taken to the place where they belong!

Michael- Where?

Crow- To the land of the dead. And you will join them, when you're done.

Michael- Done with what?

Crow- Setting the wrong things right.

Michael- You mean going after the psychos who killed me and my friends?

Crow- Nah, they killed themselves. You're going to take out the bastards who created them.

Michael- What do you mean?

Crow- Come with me, and I'll explain everything. (the crow flies away in slow-motion, and some dramatic music plays in the background)

Michael- What's with the slow-mo and the music?

Crow- Just follow me. (Michael follows him in slow motion, with the dramatic music still playing in the background. The screen flashes white and changes to a trailer van.)

Michael- That was fast.

Crow- (smugly) It's all for the dramatic effect. The music is from City of Angels.

Michael- Ugh! Really? No wonder I hated it!

Crow- It's a good movie, okay?

Michael- (sarcastically) Yeah, just like this one.

Crow- Will you just get back to the script here?

Michael- Okay, okay! (changes his expression to one of shock) This...it's the trailer van...

Crow- The van of the rock band you were gonna join. They, too, were killed in the massacre.

Michael- Wait, they're not from my school!

Crow- Their school had a shootout too. It's a long story.

Michael- I can keep up.

Crow- Fine, you win. (suddenly, the sky begins changing color, and a movie begins playing in the air. Michael begins seeing some weird rituals being performed). All the psychos involved in the massacres were members of this Satanist cult.
