3:00p.m.

Katie and Victoria are walking on the beach. Both in bikini's. There's some dark clouds rolling into the area. With a big threat of rain and even a strong thunderstorm is supposed to hit.

Victoria: Been another good day.

Katie: For us anyway.

Victoria: What do you mean?

Katie: Mickie.

Victoria: Ohh.

Katie: Have you noticed she seems to be getting worse. I'm worried about her.

Victoria: I know you are. She's having a really hard time. I haven't seen her this bad since Sebastian was killed.

Katie: Yeah I know.

Rain starts to fall.

Katie: Oh my. Its starting to rain.

Victoria: We better get inside.

Katie and Victoria walk to the beach house and they step up on the deck and they walk in the house. The wind starts to pick up.

Victoria: Its supposed to storm today.

Katie: When?

Victoria: I think its supposed to hit about 7 or 8.

No one else is around. Katie and Victoria sit at the kitchen table.

Victoria: You know I love it here. Its awesome getting to sit around in my bikini all day.

Katie: I know.

The rain starts to pour in buckets.

Victoria: Wow. Its really coming down out there.

Katie: We got in just in time.

Victoria: So wanna play some checkers or something?

Katie: Sure. Let's do it.

Victoria: Hey. Wanna play strip checkers?

Katie: Huh?

Victoria: Oh you know. Who ever loses has to take off a piece of her bikini and we keep playing until one of us is naked.

Katie: Mickie would never stand for it.

Victoria: Oh come on. No one's here but us.

Katie: We better not. What if Seth or Roman was to walk in on us?

Victoria smirks.

Victoria: So what? Roman's seen us both naked.

Katie smirks and she shakes her head.

Katie: No. We better not. Mickie's having enough problems without us running around naked.

Victoria: Aww. Okay.

Victoria and Katie start playing checkers.

Victoria: So what do you think is wrong with Mickie?

Mickie steps out of her room.

Katie: Mickie's been talking about our mother alot. She hasn't talked about her for years. I don't understand why she would suddenly start talking about her.

Victoria: Well. You don't want to forget her do you? I mean. Talking about our loved one's is what keeps them in our hearts. Right?

Katie: Yeah. I guess your right. I don't have a problem with Mickie talking about mom. I just find it odd that she has suddenly started talking about her. Wanting to know what she was like. What happened to her and why she died. I find the sudden interest odd. But I guess she would want to know.

Mickie stands in the hallway and she listens.

Mickie: Their talking about mother.

Victoria: What really did happen to her?

Katie: Well...We're not sure...but I think she had a heart attack...caused from giving child birth. I can remember hearing my dad talk about it. Guess he didn't think I was listening.

Victoria: Oh my. But that happened right after she gave birth to Mickie.

Katie: I know. My dad said that my mom had alot of problems after she gave birth to me. She got really sick and even fell into a depression. She also nearly had a heart attack. Once again. Caused from giving child birth. She survived though and got healthy again. My parents didn't want another child. Mom was afraid of having a heart attack and dad was afraid of losing her. And...well. You know how it is when your in love. They got lost in their passion for each other and well. 9 months later. She gave birth to Mickie. Everything seemed fine. I remember I was thrilled that I have a baby sister but I didn't know what it did to my mother. Then just a few months after she gave birth to Mickie...she had a heart attack. And...this time...she didn't survive.

Victoria: Man. That's rough.

Mickie fights back the tears.

Mickie: My parents really didn't want me...Now I know the truth. They didn't want me.

Mickie makes a noise as she tries to keep herself from crying as she turns and she walks into the bathroom and she closes the door. Both Katie and Victoria look toward the hallway.

Victoria: Must be Mickie.

Katie: I really hope she didn't hear that. There's no telling how bad it would effect her if she knew the truth. She probably would feel like its her fault. And that mom and dad didn't want her. Crazy things like that. Mom and dad loved her with all their hearts.

Suddenly it starts storming outside. Thunder sounds as the rain comes down hard and the wind blows. Suddenly the power goes out. Katie and Victoria look around.

Katie: Well. Its a good thing we didn't get comfortable watching tv or something.

Victoria: Yeah.

They keep playing their game.

Katie: It sounds like Mickie is crying.

Victoria: You don't think she heard us do you?

Katie: I hope not. She's having enough problems.

11:00p.m.

The storm continued for along time. The storm was rough. The power is still out. The other's called in pizza's. Everyone is in their bedrooms. Mickie walks to the bathroom. She closes the door. She has a candle set up that lights up the bathroom pretty good. She gets in the shower to clean up and try to relax. After her shower she puts on her clean night clothes. She walks out of the bathroom and she walks to the living room. There's a few candles burning around the living room and kitchen. Mickie gets herself a drink of Dr Pepper. She stands at the kitchen counter. She begins crying as she thinks over what Katie said about Hunter and Angela. Mickie suddenly feels a chill in the air. She walks over to the sofa and she sits down. She props her feet up and she tries to relax. Mickie sits back on the sofa. The candles begin to move like something walked by. They begin to move like they are blowing in wind or something. Mickie looks at the candles. An uneasy feeling hits her. Suddenly a shadow figure steps out of the dark hallway. The shadow figure walks toward the sofa. Mickie can feel the evil. Suddenly the shadow figure takes form and he looks like The Emperor from Star Wars. He's dressed in a long black robe with the hood over his head. He walks to Mickie. Mickie can feel him. She puts her feet back on the floor and she leans forward.

Mickie: Who...Who's there?

Emperor: It is not important that you know my name. Only that I am an old friend.

Mickie: Your no friend of mine. Who are you?

Emperor: Dear child. You've known me your whole life.

Mickie: What?

Emperor: I am here to help you.

Mickie: Help me?

Emperor: Of course. Of course.

Mickie can feel the fear. She's too afraid to even turn and look at The Emperor.

Emperor: Listen to me dear child. You are confused.

Mickie: Confused? About what?

Emperor: About who you are.

Mickie: What?

Emperor: You are not the good warrior everybody believe's you are. You have been fooling them!

Mickie: Huh? That's not true at all! I've been myself! I'm not faking! I'm not fooling anybody.

Emperor: Yes you are! Do you remember when you were younger? The rage fits you had?

Mickie: Yes.

Emperor: That was the real you!

Mickie: No it wasn't!

Emperor: Yes it was!

Mickie looks to be thinking. Almost like she doesn't know what to think or believe.

Emperor: You are evil dear child. Your parents didn't want you. Your family doesn't want you. They all hate you!

Mickie: No. That's not true! They love me!

Emperor: Do you really believe that Mickie? Do you?

Mickie: Well.

Mickie looks to be thinking.

Emperor: You heard it yourself. Angela told you herself. She hates you! And so does Hunter!

Mickie: No...No.

Emperor: And you Mickie. You need more proof of how evil you are? You need more proof of the darkness inside of you?

Mickie fights back the tears.

Mickie: Tell me. How evil am I?

Emperor: You killed your own parents! Innocent. What did they do to deserve such vengeance?

Mickie looks toward the floor and she starts crying.

Mickie: Its true. My parents didn't want me. I understand why they hate me.

Mickie starts to get angry at herself.

Emperor: You have darkness inside of you. Give into that darkness Mickie. Give into the dark side.

Mickie's anger builds.

Emperor: Yes! Yes! Give into your anger! Let your hate flow!

Mickie: No!

Emperor: I can offer you more than your family. I can give you the ultimate power!

Mickie: Ultimate power?

Emperor: I thought that would get your attention.

Mickie: Tell me...what is this ultimate power?

Emperor: You are the legendary saiyan. I can make you the strongest warrior that has ever lived!

Mickie: I may already be the strongest. What can you offer me that I don't already have?

Emperor: I can teach you attacks that you can only learn from the dark side. Give into the dark side child.

Mickie seems to be thinking.

Mickie: What...do I have to do to get this ultimate power?

Emperor: Very simple. Give into the dark side. Unleash the monster! I got some things I want you to do.

Mickie: What's that?

Emperor: I want you to hurt your family! Crush their hearts!

Mickie: No...No! I'm not evil like you! I won't give in! I refuse to believe your lies! My family loves me! No power is worth hurting my family!

Emperor: Very well. Believe what you want. But keep in mind. Your about to learn...the true power of the dark side!

The Emperor laughs as he steps back into the shadow's and he disappears and his laugh fades away. Mickie feels the fear leave and she looks around.

Mickie: What...the heck was that? The dark side? What the crap is going on?

2:00a.m.

Mickie is still on the sofa. She's trying to relax.

Mickie: What is all this? I can't figure this out. It just...doesn't make sense. Was that really my mother I saw? Is she really haunting me? It just...doesn't seem right. I sensed nothing but...pure evil. That...couldn't have been her. But I heard Katie say it. My parents didn't want me. I really did kill both my parents. This...hurts so bad. I didn't think it was possible to be so sad and hurt. This hurts far worse then any beating I've ever taken during a battle. I'd rather be beat down and have both legs and one arm broken. I can't stand the thought. My parents hate me...Rightfully so. I always thought dad treated Katie better. No wonder she was his favorite. I always thought he mistreated me.

Mickie lays on the sofa.

Mickie: I just don't understand this. Does my family really love me? I can't believe I'm actually asking myself this question. But I'm so confused.

Mickie lays there. The candles start blowing around. An uneasy feeling hits Mickie.

Mickie: Oh come on. Twice in the same night?

Shadow's appear and start dancing around the room. Mickie puts her feet on the floor and she gets up. She looks around the room. Ghostly moans fill the room. Suddenly a shadow figure appears in the kitchen. It looks like Angela.

Dark Angela: Mickie! Mickie!

Mickie looks.

Mickie: Mother? No. It can't be. I feel nothing but pure evil.

Dark Angela: Mickie!

Dark Angela disappears. A few more shadow figures appear. One in the hallway and the other near the back door. The one by the door looks like Hunter.

Shadow Figure: Mickie! Mickie!

Dark Hunter: Mickie!

Mickie: Daddy? No. This feeling. Its...its pure evil.

The shadow figure disappears. Dark Hunter disappears.

Mickie: What's going on? Why are you haunting me?

Suddenly Mickie hear's The Emperor's voice.

Emperor: You refused to bow to me. You refused to give in to the dark side. You have made your mistakes. One way or another. I will unleash that monster.

Mickie: You again? Where are you?

Mickie looks around. The Emperor laughs.

Emperor: You think your strong. But I am about to break you down. Now young one. You are about to feel the true power of the dark side!

The Emperor laughs. It fades away. Mickie looks around. The shadow's continue to dance around the room. Mickie looks around and a shadow figure appears in the kitchen. Mickie looks at it.

Mickie: You...I know you. Who are you?

Shadow Figure: I'm your life. I'm the one who takes you there. I'm your life. I'm the one who cares. They'll betray. I'm your only true friend now. They betray. I'm forever there!

Mickie: What?

Shadow Figure: Your my mask. Your my cover my shelter. Your my mask. Your the one who's blamed. Do my work. Do my dirty work. Scape goat! Do my deeds. For your the one who's shamed!

Mickie feels the shadow figure trying to take control of her.

Mickie: No! I refuse you give into you!

Shadow Figure: Hate! I'm your hate! I'm your hate when you want love!

Mickie looks at the shadow figure.

Shadow Figure: Pay the price! Pay for nothing's fair!

Mickie begins crying.

Shadow Figure: I'm your life. I'm the one who took you there! I'm your life...And I no longer care!

Mickie: What do you want? I don't believe any of you. Your telling lies. Just who are you?

Shadow Figure: I'm your truth...telling lies...I'm inside...open your eyes.

Mickie looks shocked.

Shadow Figure: I'm you!

Suddenly the shadow figure takes form. It looks just like Mickie. Mickie looks shocked.

Mickie: What? No...This can't be. You look just like me.

Dark Mickie smiles as she looks at Mickie. Dark Mickie laughs.

Dark Mickie: Yes...This new form...Its amazing.

Mickie: Ohh my.

Dark Mickie laughs.

Dark Mickie: This power...Its totally awesome.

Dark Mickie looks at Mickie.

Mickie: I don't understand any of this.

Dark Mickie: You don't have too. Everything is working perfectly. We're not gonna stop until we get you Mickie. So you might as well give in! Now!

Dark Mickie takes Mickie by the arms. Mickie feels the evil trying to take over.

Mickie: Grrr...Grrrr. No...No! I won't give in!

Dark Mickie: Crush your family Mickie! They hate you! Crush them! Feed us!

Mickie: Grrrr! Grrr ahhh! No! I won't do it!

Dark Mickie: Very well. Then I shall do it for you!

Mickie: Don't you dare! You leave my family alone!

Dark Mickie takes Mickie and she hits a hard knee to the gut. Mickie holds her gut. Dark Mickie then throws a mean punch and she hits Mickie right in the face. Mickie falls to the floor. Mickie pushes up to her hands and knees. Dark Mickie then punts her in the head. Mickie drops to the floor. She's out of it. Dark Mickie stands above her.

Dark Mickie: Perfect. Now I will take her place. The others. They will think I'm her. I can crush them myself. Their sadness will feed us and make us stronger. Now to get you out of here. And don't worry. You'll never see your family again.

Dark Mickie drags Mickie out of the house. Dark Mickie laughs.
