1. EXT – 5156 – OUTSKIRTS OF NEW LONDON – DAY
Flying cars, kids on hover boards, tall skyscrapers and metal shining everywhere. The golden age of the city of London. The city appears to be glowing.
Outside the city is old fashioned box shaped building where the windows are boarded up and falling apart. Most are either being knocked down or are crumbling apart.
CHRISTINA and DESTINY appear outside one of the building, dressed in black jump suits and wearing old fashioned cloaks. They go towards the building which is separated from the others scattered around the outside of London.
CHRISTINA
Why do we have to investigate? Surely, they could have hired someone better than us.
DESTINY
The government didn't want to risk the lives of there human agents especially when they detected Gamma radiation.
CHRISTINA
What cowards... let's just get this done, I have a meeting with a client after this.
Stopping at the door, Destiny turns to face her.
DESTINY
I thought you had stopped meeting clients.
CHRISTINA
Its only the Undertaker, keep your hair on.
DESTINY
It better be.
Christina glare at her as Destiny goes inside and she follows her through the front door.
CUT TO
2. INT – 5156 – HOUSE CORRIDOR - CONTINUOUS
Focuses on them as they walk through the narrow corridor. The wooden floorboards creak beneath there feet, the wallpaper is peeling off the walls and the walls not covered in wallpaper are crumbling and covered in mould.
CHRISTINA
Would it be such a bad thing if I was still meeting client? I have helped a lot of people...
DESTINY
... And creatures.
CHRISTINA
And creatures. But it was small requests and they only owe me favours. Which I don't always claim back.
Destiny stares at her weirdly as they go into the next room.
CUT TO
3. INT – 5156 – FRONT ROOM OF HOUSE – CONTINUOUS
Destiny turns on a torch and shines it around the room. revealing a cracked smart tv, a broken ripped apart sofa and cabinets falling apart into tatters with the cabinets doors falling off. Cobwebs and layers of dust covering every surface.
DESTINY
True. But do you remember that deal you made back in 1666 with Lucifer? You killed a man to save my life.
CHRISTINA
Off course I remember.
DESTINY
That didn't exactly end well, did it?
CHRISTINA
That's a matter of opinion.
DESTINY
A matter of opinion?!! You killed an innocent.
CHRISTINA
And if I didn't, you would be dead and so would I. You know I couldn't have refused.
DESTINY
You could have found another way!!
CHRISTINA
There wasn't another way!!
DESTINY
There is always another way, you just didn't even bother finding one.
CHRISTINA
Tell me then Dest what you would have done? I would do anything to protect you and if that meant I had to kill thousands of people I would do it!!! Anything to protect you!!
Destiny looks at her horrified.
CHRISTINA
Lets just go and see where this radiation is coming from?
Christina walks back into the corridor and Destiny follows, still in shock.
CUT TO
4. INT – 5156 – HOUSE CORRIDOR, STAIRS – CONTINUOUS
Camera focuses on Christina and Destiny as they go back into the corridors and go up the stairs. Christina continues to go up the stairs while Destiny splits off to search the rooms.
CUT TO
5. INT – 5156 – ATTIC – CONTINUOUS
Christina steps out into an attic, it's sparkling clean compared to the rest of the house. In the centre is a shiny mirror, golden and glowing. It's shining a pure gold.
CHRISTINA (YELLING.)
Destiny, I think I found it!!
Destiny appears seconds later behind her.
DESTINY
Now that isn't from 2017.
CHRISTINA
Exactly, and just look at the place, it's spotless compared to the rest of the house. Someone put it here.
DESTINY
But what is it?
Destiny goes closer to it and touches it and is suddenly sucked into with a flash of light.
CHRISTINA
Destiny!!!
No response. Christina leans forward and touches it and is sucked in to. The mirror chimes, followed by an creepy laughter. LUCIFER appears from behind the mirror.
LUCIFER
Let the games begin.
CUT TO
6. EXT – AUGUST 12, 30 BC – ANCIENT EGYPT
The sand is golden and the pyramids appear to be shining from the sunny glow. The camera then focuses on a mausoleum and meters away is Destiny and Christina. Both of them are standing in bewilderment at what is before there eyes.
CHRISTINA
Is this?
DESTINY
Yes, we have gone back in time. Ancient Egypt.
They spot an Mausoleum from a distance.
CHRISTINA
I know this Mausoleum, this is where Cleopatra took refuge before she committed suicide.
DESTINY
Maybe not, look.
Christina follows Destiny's gaze.
CUT TO
7. EXT – ANCIENT EGYPT – OUTSIDE MAUSOLEUM – CONTINUOUS
CLEOPATRA strolls out the front of the mausoleum, her skin pale and wearing the latest fashion of Egypt. An single sheath dress called an Kalasiris. But it more revealing just above her knee with golden jewellery on top.
She goes over to sit on old fashioned carriage before she is lifted into the air. They begin heading in the direction of an pyramid.
CUT TO
8. EXT – ANCIENT EGYPT – ½ mile away from MAUSOLEUM – CONTINUOUS
Christina and Destiny turn to each other with Cleopatra being escorted in the background towards the pyramid.
CHRISTINA
I thought she was supposed to stay in the mausoleum until she commits suicide.
DESTINY
Time is being rewritten.
CHRISTINA
You do know this whole thing is trap?
DESTINY
What do you mean?
CHRISTINA
Well, we find a mirror which transports us back in time. And out of all the time periods we could of landed in, we landed here where time is being rewritten.
DESTINY
You're right, it's a trap. But we still need to put history back the way it was and get back to 5156.
CHRISTINA
Right and to do that, we need to get into the pyramid and convince Cleopatra to return to the mausoleum where she kills herself. Fixing the time line, hopefully.
DESTINY
I assume you have a plan to get in their.
CHRISTINA
I think I do.
CUT TO
9. EXT– ANCIENT EGYPT – OUTSIDE THE PYRAMID
The Pyramid stands in the centre, the blue sky and the hot sun beaming down. Focuses on the entrance to the period where TWO GUARDS stand at the front, GUARD 1 and GUARD 2. They are dressed in armour with a spear in their hands. They suddenly point their spears at Christina and Destiny as they approach
GUARD 1
Halt, who goes there?
GUARD 2
Halt? Really?
GUARD 1
Who goes there?
Christina and Destiny look at each other, holding back there laughter.
CHRISTINA
My name is Christina, this is my sister Destiny.
(Gestures to his sister.)
And we seek an audience with Cleopatra.
DESTINY
It's an matter of great urgency.
GUARD 1
No one is allowed inside.
GUARD 2
Apart from us
GUARD 1
Apart from us.
DESTINY
We must insist.
CHRISTINA
Give us a second.
Christina and Destiny turn to one side and whisper, there conversation not audible. After a few minutes turn back to face them.
CHRISTINA
We are apart of Cleopatra's Elite Council and seek her audience immediately. Unless one of you wants to tell her why you turned us away and lose your head for it.
The guards face go pale before turning to look at each other.
GUARD 1
What should we do? Should we let them in?
GUARD 2
How should I know? You are the brainy one.
GUARD 1
Me? The brainy one?
GUARD 2
Well yeah... (Pause.) Did I just say that?
GUARD 1
Yes you did. Should we let them in or not? They said they are apart of Cleopatra council.
GUARD 2
They could be lying.
GUARD 1
But they might not be.
GUARD 2
They wear strange clothing and are obviously are not from around here.
GUARD 1
I think we should let them in, I don't want to be executed
GUARD 2
Their lying!!! They must me.
GUARD 1
You should agree with me, I am the smart one.
GUARD 2
No I am.
Christina and Destiny slowly move past them as they continue to bicker and slip inside.
GUARD 1
I thought we just agreed I am the smart one, you are the dumb one.
GUARD 2
I was lying you idiot.
GUARD 1
I'm not a idiot
GUARD 2
Yes you are.
GUARD 1
I'm not.
GUARD 2
Yes you are.
GUARD 1
I'M NOT!!!
GUARD 2
If I'm the idiot, then where are they?
They look around and the sisters have already gone inside.
GUARD 1
Oh
GUARD 2
We're dead.
GUARD 1
Yep
They lower there heads.

10. INT – INSIDE PYRAMID – CORRIDOR
Christina and Destiny creep through the corridors, avoiding guards before going towards the queens chambers. They slip inside.
CUT TO
11. INT – INSIDE PYRAMID – CLEOPATRA's CHAMBER
Christina and Destiny appear inside the main entrance before looking around. They don't see anyone inside, much to their surprise.
CLEOPATRA
How dare you enter my chambers!!
They turn to see Cleopatra holding a sharp sword, pointing it at them. Destiny and Christina quickly bow.
CHRISTINA
We apologise for our intrusion. But we seek an audience with you.
DESTINY
It's a matter of life and death.
Cleopatra lowers her sword before going to sit on her throne, plucking a grape from a bunch on her table and eating it.
CLEOPATRA
I am most intrigued. So before I execute you, I will grant your request. Please, come forward.
Christina and Destiny comes forward and Cleopatra looks at them, studying their appearance.
CLEOPATRA
What are your names?
CHRISTINA
I am Christina, this is my sister Destiny.
CLEOPATRA
What strange clothing you wear.
DESTINY
I'm sorry if this offends you, but we came here rather unexpectedly.
CLEOPATRA
What do you want so urgently that you seek an audience with me?
CHRISTINA
We were informed of roman army coming this way and we request that you go back to the Mausoleum where you will be safe from harm. We must insist you go there immediately.
Cleopatra stands up from her throne, holding her sword in her hand as she goes up to Christina.
CLEOPATRA
I see. Well Christina, I do appreciate your concern for my safety. But my death has already been foretold by a man in red.
Christina looks at Destiny confused and then look at Cleopatra.
CHRISTINA
A man in red?
CLEOPATRA
His face was red as blood, his eyes black as the night and wore strange clothing like you do now. He told me of an prophecy, one that foretold my death. That if I were to stay in the mausoleum, I would die by the hands of two woman, claiming to save me from my fate.
Christina looks at Destiny.
DESTINY
Lucifer?
CHRISTINA
It must be
The doors suddenly shut behind them, locking them inside the chamber.
CLEOPATRA
Two woman who despite their normal appearance are inhuman beasts.
Before the sisters can react, Cleopatra strikes Christina with the sword, cutting her across her chest. Through the shredded clothing, blood pours out as the wound begins to heal.
DESTINY
Christina?
CHRISTINA
I'm fine.
The wound heals, leaving nothing but dried blood and a hole in Christina's t-shirt. Cleopatra steps away, not surprised.
CLEOPATRA
You are the two woman, beasts in human form, who have come to kill me. But I shall not die today.
DESTINY
Please Cleo, listen to us. We do not want to kill you.
CHRISTINA
Well, actually, you do have to die.
DESTINY
CHRISTINA!!!
CHRISTINA
What?
DESTINY
Please listen, you must go to the mausoleum. Whether or not you chose to die is your choice, and yours alone.
Cleopatra moves away from them as a SERVANT comes in and bows. As he bows, Cleopatra beheads him and he collapses to the ground. His head rolls across the floor as blood goes everywhere. Christina and Destiny eyes flash a bright red from the blood.
DESTINY
We should have drank before we left.
Cleopatra moves towards them, kicking the body everywhere causing the blood to drench the floor. Trying to control the blood lust, the sisters collapse to their knees.
CLEOPATRA
Vampires... you crave blood. Drink.
Christina looks at the body, its still. Before looking up at Cleopatra then back to Destiny.
CHRISTINA
Are you thinking... what I'm... thinking.
DESTINY
I think... I am.
Before Cleopatra can take another step, Christina lungs forward with inhuman speed and sinks her teeth into her wrist. She struggles as Christina drinks her blood. Cleopatra slowly stops struggling before falling to her knees. Christina lets her go and she collapses to the floor, dead.
Destiny stares at her horrified
DESTINY
What the hell? That wasn't what I meant!!
CHRISTINA
She had to die, we both know that otherwise time would be rewritten. She must die.
Destiny shakes her head, moving away from her sister.
DESTINY
We could have found another way but you let your blood lust take over! Admit it!!
CHRISTINA
Finding another way? There wasn't one. We were marked before we even came here.
DESTINY
I know that but you didn't have to kill her.
CHRISTINA
I did what I had to do. Now we can take her to the mausoleum and make it look like she killed herself. Time will be fixed.
DESTINY
At what cost? Fine, lets go but I still don't like it.
Christina stares at her confused but helps her sister pick up Cleopatra and carry her out the chamber.
CUT TO
12. INT – INSIDE PYRAMID – CORRIDOR – CONTINUOUS
Christina and Destiny run down the corridors with Cleopatra, past guards until they come across the carriage she was travelling in earlier.
They put her inside before they lift it up and continue to run until they exit the pyramid.
CUT TO
13. EXT – OUTSIDE PYRAMID – CONTINUOUS
The sisters run out of the pyramid, but freeze when they see Guard 1 and Guard 2.
GUARD 1
I think you should go first and tell her.
GUARD 2
Why me? You are the brainy one.
GUARD 1
Exactly.
They continue to bicker on who is the Brainy one and who is the dumb one. The sister slip past not noticed and run in the direction of the mausoleum.
