"Runaway"

by Aishwarya Odedra

INT.

We pick up at the end of a science lesson. A5H is staring lifelessly at the monotonous teacher, thinking of nothing in particular. The draining experience ends, and A5H snaps out of her daze.

Teacher: The homework this week is to finish the topic research we started... 

[Her voice gradually fades into the background] 

We cut to a suspicious person in a uniform staring at A5H. A5H feels a sudden sense of uneasiness wash over her. She shudders. Her head whips round swiftly as she tries to locate the source of her uneasiness. As the camera pans to the door, the man outside the window is suddenly gone.

EXT.

We cut to A5H's journey home. When walking A5H gets the same sense of uneasiness and spins around to find an agent from the AWRD (Advanced Weaponry Research Division) following her. A5H starts to run, looking over her shoulder every so often, adrenaline coursing through her veins. The man click a button on a remote he's holding. She arrives at home and bangs on the door desperately. No-one answers. She looks around the garden searching for a place to hide when BLAKE drags her into the house suddenly. A5H is startled and reflexively elbows BLAKE in the gut. 

[A5H turns around]

A5H: Blake, don't scare me like that

[Blake mouths sorry while clutching his stomach in pain]

Suddenly, her veins begin to glow neon blue.

BLAKE: Oh God! A5H you're glowing! 

[A5H looks down, sees this and starts to panic. She pulls off her blazer, revealing neon blue veins glowing in her skin]

A5H: [Quietly] No, not again. 

[Suddenly she looks up at BLAKE] Get Away! Now! Go! 

[She yells waving at him to leave as she backs into a corner of the room]

The screen then fades to white and the text: "To Be Continued" followed by the show's title, appears on the screen.
