Act 1: Mirror, Mirror
"I am he who donned the white and bright fringed cloak of Nun which is on his breast, which gives light in darkness, which unites the two companion-goddesses who are in my body by means of the great magic which is on my mouth. My fallen enemy who was with me in the valley of Abydos will not be raised up, and I am content. The remembrance of him is mine. I have taken authority in my city, for I found him in it, I have brought darkness by means of my power."
Spell 80 - Book of the Dead
The scene opens on the beautiful city of Las Vegas. The bright lights of the city shone brightly from the hotels and casinos that lined the streets. The strip is filled with people moving about taking in the sights of the city, or in search of nightlife. The camera goes over the city to the suburbs of North Vegas. The camera stops on a street just like the others in a quiet neighborhood. The camera pans over the manicured lawns, and the two car garages. One house seemed to appear a bit different. A car sat out in the driveway, and the lawn was starting to get a bit longer then those around them. A pile of newspapers was starting to pile up on the doorstep, and the mail was starting to over flow in the mailbox at the end of the driveway. The heavy dark drapes were drawn, as if the house was hiding a secret within. The sound of a large truck was soon heard coming up the street. A monster truck stops in front of the house, and Ex jumps down, and walks around to the other side, and opens the door, lifting Necra down from the passengers side. He sets her down onto the end of the driveway and she smiles, knowing that her father wasn't that far away. She makes her way to the front door, and sees that it is cracked open slightly. Necra pushes the door open, and walks inside seeing the blood splattered walls, and the drag marks as her eyes adjusted to the darkness of the house. Mirrors had been shattered, along with pictures knocked off the walls as they were dragged into one area of the house. Necra and Ex walk into the kitchen and came upon a grisly sight. At the kitchen table there sat three figures. A man, and two children with their throats slit, and their eyes had been replaced with the broken mirror shards. The food on their plates had begun to spoil, and mold as if they had been posed over a couple of days. Necra looks at them and then back at Ex.Ex: Are you sure Sothren did this?Necra: I'm sure. The glass in the eyes are a dead give away.Ex: But it could be a copycat. Anyone that has read a paper in the last three years would know about his calling card.Necra: Trust me... I know it's him Ex. I can feel it. The other side of me knows one of her own when we're that close. Wait here.Necra walks off following the blood trail, that seemed to move toward the back of the house. Necra continues to follow the trail until she comes to a bedroom. The door was opened a crack, and she pushes it open seeing a woman tied to the bed with her face scared. Newly made stitches still bled a little bit, as Necra looked her over, smiling. The woman starts to stir, and looks over seeing Necra standing by the bed. She struggles against the restraints; as she looks at Necra, with her eyes filled with a pleading look for help. Necra just sighs, and pushes back a piece of hair that had fallen into the woman's face.Necra: I see my father has been busy. The stitches are healing nicely.The woman tries to say something, and Necra just puts a hand on her face tracing the scars.Necra: Don't worry. He's not going to kill you yet. When he's done with you, you will be the splitting image of my mother. You'll live at least another week before he finishes.Necra just smiles, as she hears someone behind her. She turns around and there stands a man with straight black hair, and red glowing eyes. Necra stands up, and hugs him when he reaches her. Necra: Hello daddy.Sothren: It's good to see you sweetie. But what are you doing here?Necra: You know me, I couldn't stay away from the mortal world.Sothren looks at his daughter, knowing there was something more. If she had a choice Necra would stay in the Underworld in her own kingdom enjoying the screams of those descending into the furthest reaches of hell.Sothren: There's something you're not telling me.Necra smiles softly and nods. She could never lie to her father.Necra: There is another reason I came... I signed on with the SCW. I'm here to sign a contract with them. After that I head to China with the company.Sothren: Good, then I'll go with you. It's been a while since I've been in China. It'll be just you and me sweetie.Necra shakes her head, and smiles slightly.Necra: Not quite. Ex is with me, and Sara is waiting at the SCW headquarters for me. Do you still want to come with us?Sothren looks at her, and then at the woman that was lying on the bed. He sighs, and Necra just smiles.Sothren: Can you give me an hour to finish my work?Necra: Just meet us at the airport with a ticket to China. I'll only be an hour or so.Sothren: All right! You talked me into it. I'll be there. Now you go on and do what you have to do sweetie.Necra smiles softly, as Sothren kisses her on her forehead, before she walks out of the room. Necra could hear the sound of muffled cries as she walked away, to find Ex. He was waiting in the living room, sitting on the black leather couch watching TV. Necra just sighs as she turns it off.Ex: Hey I was watching that.Necra: Sorry, but I'm going to be late for my appointment if we don't leave now.Ex sighs, and gets up, as Necra starts for the front door. The two of them walk out into the dulling sunlight, and head for the monster truck.
Ex: So was it your dad?Necra: Yep. He's going to meet us at the airport. He's coming with us.Ex looks at her and shakes his head. This couldn't end go with Sothren with them, but he was always good for a laugh. Ex helps Necra up into the truck, and then climbs into the truck himself, and they soon pull off heading to downtown Vegas, as the scene fades to black.
