OPENING (V.O.) There’s a moment— Right before something hits you… Where the world slows down. Not to save you. Just to make sure you understand— This is really happening. --- SCENE 1 — CONTINUATION (NO CUT) Same rooftop. Same breath. Same fear. UNKNOWN FIGURE “You stopped running.” (tilts head slightly) “…interesting.” Zara doesn’t move. But her voice lowers—serious now. ZARA “Don’t speak. Don’t react. Don’t let it pull you in.” TUNDE (quiet) “It already did.” --- MONOLOGUE (V.O.) It wasn’t just seeing me. It was… listening. To everything inside me. Fear. Doubt. Even the part of me that wanted to fight. --- SCENE 2 — FIRST STRIKE No warning. No movement. Just— Impact. Zara is thrown back instantly. Tunde barely reacts before the pressure hits him too— But not the same way. It doesn’t push him. It holds him. UNKNOWN FIGURE “…there it is.” --- SCENE 3 — LINK ESTABLISHED Tunde’s body locks. Electricity freezes mid-spark. His eyes— Glow. TUNDE (V.O.) I couldn’t move. Not because I was weak. Because something else… Was holding the controls. --- UNKNOWN FIGURE “You’re not like the others.” (steps closer) “You respond.” --- SCENE 4 — ZARA GETS UP Zara forces herself up. Shaking. But focused. ZARA (strained) “Let. Him. Go.” No response. She exhales— Then changes strategy. ZARA (to Tunde) “Hey… listen to me.” (beat) “That thing? It feeds on reaction.” --- SCENE 5 — INTERNAL BATTLE Inside— Silence. But not empty. Heavy. TUNDE (V.O.) I could feel it inside my head… Pulling. Searching. Like it wanted permission. --- Echo of Zara’s voice— Faint. But steady. ZARA (V.O.) “Stop reacting. Just… exist.” --- SCENE 6 — BREAK Something shifts. Not outside. Inside. Tunde exhales— And lets go. Not fear. Not power. Control. — The connection snaps. Violently. The figure steps back for the first time. --- UNKNOWN FIGURE “…you cut it?” (beat) “…yourself?” --- SCENE 7 — FIRST REAL FIGHT Tunde doesn’t wait. A small surge— Focused. Direct. It hits. The figure moves— But not fast enough. Contact. Real contact. --- UNKNOWN FIGURE (soft… almost impressed) “…progress.” --- SCENE 8 — CONSEQUENCE Tunde drops to one knee. Breathing hard. Too hard. ZARA (rushing to him) “You’re not ready for that!” TUNDE “I didn’t have a choice…” (looks up) “It was learning me.” --- SCENE 9 — RETREAT The figure watches. Silent again. Then— Steps back. And fades into the storm. Gone. Just like that. --- FINAL SCENE Silence returns. But it’s not the same silence. TUNDE “…it left.” ZARA (shakes head slightly) “No.” (beat) “It learned.” --- ENDING (V.O.) This wasn’t a win. It wasn’t even survival. (pauses) It was an introduction. --- TO BE CONTINUED… Episode 5: It doesn’t chase anymore. It waits. #SupernaturalSeries #Episode4 #CinematicThread #KdramaEnergy #SlowBurn
