Dead Town Page #3

MARSHA(OFF SCREEN)

(shouting)

You need to stay away from Joe! He’s mine alone!

Jenny glaring at Joe and Khaled, her emotions a mixture of hatred and love. She struggles to find the right words. Gentle tapping of her foot on the ground echoes her psychological turmoil. The camera slowly captures the details of her face.

Joe gently places his hand on her shoulder.

JOE:

(softly, reassuring)

Khalid's fine. We can leave... and clean up the mess before the news spreads.

Marsha interrupts him, her voice cold and defiant.

MARSHA:

(challenging)

You'd better... because it's my presence with Khaled that keeps this town safe. But if I'm ever separated from him... I'll destroy it. I'll turn it into a dead town... just like every other place Khaled tried to hide from his loyal lover.

Joe gently holds Jenny's hand, his eyes calm yet intense as he speaks

JOE:

(calmly)

This is for the best, Jenny. we should go. Let's leave them alone for a while.

Jenny is caught in an internal struggle, her face betraying every ounce of pain and sadness.

She takes slow steps away, her eyes never leaving Khaled, tears glistening as they fall.

Suddenly, she pushes Joe aside, running toward Khaled with all her might. She wraps her arms around him from behind, holding him tightly, her voice trembling with love

JENNY:

(softly, filled with emotion)

No… I won't leave him. I won't give up that easily…

We shift to Joe, who is now seething with anger. He pulls out his gun and yells at Jenny

JOE:

(furious)

You whore, who do you think you are? Weren't you the one who hated him? How many times did you two fight? Have you forgotten all that?

Jenny stares at Joe, defiant, tears streaming, but she refuses to let go of Khaled.

JOE:

(with a menacing tone)

If Marsha utters her curse, you'll be the first one I kill.

Marsha, her voice dripping with malice

MARSHA(OFF SCREEN)

(with a sly smile)

What if you did it right now? No need for me to touch this filth they call a town

(light laugh)

And I promise, I'll make you one of the richest people here.

Joe's eyes glisten with greed, his hesitation fading as a sinister determination takes over.

He turns toward Jenny, his decision made, and steps forward, his gun slowly rising to her head.

JOE:

(coldly)

No one will ever know. This is what you deserve...

Jenny, despite her overwhelming fear, clings tighter to Khaled, her eyes narrowing, tears streaming down her face. But she refuses to let go.

JENNY:

(softly, her voice trembling)

No... I won't leave him...

Joe moves closer, finger on the trigger, and with a voice filled with contempt, he says

JOE:

(quietly, with deadly finality)

Goodbye, you whore. I never loved you.

In that instant, Khaled hand rises slowly, and as it reaches the level of his head, Joe freezes, suspended as if an invisible force has seized him.

Suddenly, he’s lifted into the air, his body moving helplessly, like a puppet controlled by a master sorcerer. Without turning around, Khaled flicks his fingers, and Joe is hurled from wall to wall, as if a supernatural power is wielding him, each impact shaking the very foundation of the room.

Here's the scene incorporating Khalid's transformation with the requested suspenseful and dramatic elements:

Slowly and with complete gentleness, Khaled turns toward Joe, while Jenny continues to cling to him, refusing to let go no matter what.

Moments of silence fill the air before everyone is struck with shock at the sight unfolding before them; Khaled begins to change entirely.

Khalid's eyes turn a dark, blood-red, his height suddenly increasing, muscles bulging as if some supernatural force is overtaking him. Even his voice, when he speaks, transforms into something rough and deep, carrying a terrifying tone that freezes the blood in their veins.

KHALED:

(in a deep, menacing voice)

Do you think you can harm us? Now you'll see who we truly are.

MARSHA(OFF SCREEN)

(Tone grumbling)

Sh*t, I forgot about him.

(evil tone)

I have to go now, see ya my love.

Khaled releases Joe, who drops to the ground with the marks of his injuries evident on his bruised face. Khaled walks toward him with steady steps, while Jenny still clings to him, refusing to let go. Khaled glares at Joe, speaking in a low, threatening tone.

KHALED:

If you ever come near her again, I'll send you to the underworld in the blink of an eye.

Joe struggles to respond, gasping for air. An agonizing silence fills the room as the tension grows. The camera slowly moves closer to Jenny, who has her head resting on Khaled's chest. Then, Khaled's voice, now calm and back to its true self, breaks the silence.
