SCENE
INT. Nunery - Early Morning
In the living quarters of the nuns PHOENIX; crimson hair and garden green eyes (5). S. NATALIE (19)
PHOENIX
Sister Natalie! You're finally up.
S. Natalie
It’s you again. (she acknowledged her by petting her head) Good morning little one.
PHOENIX
(she smiles brightly) Good morning Sister.
SCENE
INT. Dining Hall
She ate with S. Natille and the other nuns.
SCENE
INT./EXT. Basilica - Later
PHOENIX helped them with chores around the covenant and the church. While cleaning the window in the church she spots a few children playing outside.
S. Candius (O.S.)
(gasps see Phoenix cleaning the window on a high ladder) What is that Highlander doing in the house of God!
All the sisters direct their attention to S. CANDIUS an older sister of the cathloic church. PHOENIX is still watching the children play.
S. Candius
Hey! (she starts to walk up to the ladder) Get down from there this instant!
Nun
Sister Candius, the child is helping us with the chores around the covent. To work off the meal she ate earlier this morning.
S. Candius
That doesn’t matter. (the nun was shocked) (S. Candius grabbed the legs of the ladder) Down from there Highlander! Right now. (and shook it and PHOENIX’s balance became very unbalanced and wobbly, the novitiate nuns beg S. Candius to stop)
SCENE
EXT. CHURCH ENTRANCE
Phoenix is now covered with bruises all over her arms. Sits by herself still watching the village children play. She looks at her scars and bruises and hides them under her sleeves.
PHOENIX
(she makes her way towards the children) Can I play too? (the children look up at her then stand up)
V.kid
Look at it. Her hair is burning.
V. kid
No it’s bleeding. (they look at one another and smirk at her)
EXT. Village Square
The children push Phoenix into the village well. Her clothes are covered in dirt. While CROW shops nearby.
V.Kid
Why is her hair so weird?
she curls into knees.
V.Kid
What are you? Tsk.
He grabs her by the hair pulling up from the ground.
V.Kid
What? You can’t speak now?!
she flinches while his other hand goes up.
the kids look up at him to only see one frozen blue eye staring back at them from his cloak.
CROW
What do you think you're doing? You shouldn’t bully pretty little girls. It gives mixed signals.
the kid tries to take his arm back but CROW squeezed tighter
V.KID
Get off of me!
the boy hisses in pain while the others run off.
CROW
Why, where I come from. Handzy little mice like yourself are a delicacy.
A crow nearby squawks before swooping down to fly through the market and grabs a small mouse. It flies off. The boy watches the crow fly off. He screams. The crow rips into the mouse's flesh.
V.Kid
I won’t mess with her never ever again.
CROW
Do you promise?
V. Kid
Yes.
Crow squeezed tighter.
V.Kid
Yes! I promise, I promise okay!
Crow lets go of his arm. He runs off quickly. Crow watches him. Looks down to see Phoenix still curled in a ball. Crow holds his hand out to her.
CROW
Are you ok? Hey there. You mind telling me your name?
she stank her head into her knees.
PHOENIX
I--
he kneels to her in the crowd of the busy streets of the town.
PHOENIX
I, I don’t have one.
Crow stares into her eyes.
CROW
You have no name. That’s fine. I could just call you, ‘mine’.
She looks up at him holding his hand out to her.
ACT 2
EXT. The Woods - Sunset
Phoenix rides on Crow’s back while they walk through the forest.
CROW
So you don’t live in the town of Phillis.
PHOENIX
I lived here with my auntie, before.
CROW
Before?
She tucked her head into his back.
PHOENIX
A group of men called the highlanders, came to Phillis a few years after I was born.
CROW
Highlanders?
Phillis - Night
The Highlanders raise their clubs to the sky before charging in.
PHOENIX (O.S.)
They terrorized the people. And many were killed. And raped the women. The only thing they could describe these men were giants. And their leader was called the king. Known for being strong and also having hair that appeared to be burning.
EXT. THE WOODS
They see a run down cabin that looks out to a manmade lake.
INT. CABIN
Opens the door to see the hubble.
CROW
So you live here.
PHOENIX
Yes.
CROW
You live here by yourself.
PHOENIX
Yes. My aunty died last winter. I tried going into one of the nearby towns but the people were all the same towards me.
CROW
Because of your hair right?
PHOENIX
I’m a monster.
CROW
You are not a monster.
PHOENIX
All the people hate me or want to see me dead.
he caressed her cheek
CROW
Trust me, a cute girl like you could never make a whole town want to kill you.
she rejects his touch by moving her cheek.
PHOENIX
You're a traveler right?
she takes the charred wood out the chimney.
CROW
Yes, I’ve been traveling for quite sometime now.
PHOENIX
I don’t understand.(she places the wood in) Why do you travel so much? (she spots the scissors on the edge)
CROW
I’m looking for the lost continent Gelbelly.
PHOENIX
Why? (she reaches for them)
CROW
Well see, well. That’s a good question. I don’t truly remember why? But it has to be
PHOENIX pulled a strain of her hair to cut with the scissors. Crow appears behind her.
Phoenix looks up at him in shock.
PHOENIX
What do you think you're doing?
CROW
A haircut isn’t appropriate for an occasion like now.
the scissors drop to the floor.
PHOENIX
Let go of me!
she pulls away from him and grabs the scissors off the wooden flooring. She pulls a lock of hair forward and cuts it off. She makes her way to the fireplace and tosses the hair in.
Crow watch the hair become brighter. All of a sudden the hair catches fire burning the wood slowly while the small fire continues to dance and consume the wood.
CROW
Did you just--
PHOENIX cut more of her hair to make fire for cooking over.
PHOENIX
Don’t worry my hair always grows back. In just a minute. I’m guessing you don’t eat.
CROW
Why would you assume such a thing?!
PHOENIX
Because, birds should never eat what’s bigger than them.
CROW
How’d you find out. That I was a bird demon.
PHOENIX
You're a bird demon?
CROW
Uh, UGH! You didn’t know?! Oh satan, please forgive my treachery!
PHOENIX
You're using a lot of weird words. You won’t be eating my porridge.
CROW
What?!
Int. Cabin
The porridge is at a boil. The room is neat and lived in.
He pouts.
Phoenix (20s) stirs the soup.
CROW
Your heartless pretty girl. All I wish is to be close to you. But if I don't eat your porridge. Who knows what I’ll do.
PHOENIX
Is that a threat?
CROW
I’d never threaten a cutie like you.
PHOENIX
Why do keep saying such gross stuff. I’m a kid now. You have to respect that.
CROW
I hoped and prayed to see you. I waited for you. But you never grew. So how long will you pretend Phoenix!
PHOENIX
You're cruel. You didn’t wait for me, you’ve abandoned me.
CROW
I didn’t-
PHOENIX
You abandoned me! I requested for a life without you Crow. And you lied, in wait. Like I was your prey.
CROW
Again with this.
PHOENIX
I wouldn’t have to repeat myself if I wasn’t making a point crow. You think of me as just an extinction of yourself. Like a pair of shoes or shirt.
Crow
Is that really a bad thing?
PHOENIX
Yes! Because I don’t want to be that for you! I want to be alone. I can’t stand the thought of even being in the same room as you.
CROW
You're being a child, just come home with me. Gelbelly is waiting for us to rule it.
PHOENIX
You seriously don’t listen. I don’t want to be with you anymore. Ruling over a kingdom is the last thing I want.
Int. cabin
Phoenix(5) hands the bowl of porridge to him.
Phoenix
I don’t have spoons.
Crow
I’ve noticed. You stirred the kettle with a stick.
Crow sips the porridge.
