Opening credits role. Flash to the inside of XtRaVa's house. Mothman and Tic run out the back door. They climb over the back garden fence to the back alley. It's empty. They split up. Fade to a small, run down barn. It's got a television, a sofa and a bed in it. Rayne carries Freak into it. She lays him on the bed.

Rayne: Hello Freak...do you remember me?

He reaches into his pocket and produces a picture of her, looking slightly younger.

Rayne: Yes. That's me.

Freak: Mum...my?

Rayne wipes a tear from her eyes.

Rayne: Are you sleepy?

He nods.

Rayne: Then, I'll start a fire to keep us warm. You go to beddy byes.

Freak: Tell me a story...

Rayne: Okay then...Once upon a time, in a land, far, far away. There was a princess in love. But her wicked mother and step-father wouldn't allow it. They thought her love was a bad man. So she kept it a secret.

A clip of Dude sitting in his jail cell is faded in with Rayne and Freak.

Rayne: The princess' mum was ill. She was going to die and suffer. So, the princess, who still loved her mother, decided to stop her suffering. She was going to put her in a deep sleep.

A clip of Stubborn lays onto the images, she's lying in her coffin.

Rayne: The princess' love tried to help her, but then an evil warlock discovered the plan and decided to ruin it. He got the princess' love in a dark tower and threw away the key. But the woman had a baby. The most handsome, wonderful baby in the world. It was her loves baby.

A clip of freak in the orphanage lays on the screen.

Rayne: The princess couldn't let anyone know about her baby or the warlock would get rid of her. She sent him away to a place where he would be looked after. Years later. She returned. And she got her baby back. And they lived happily ever after.

She looks down at Freak. He's asleep.

Fade to a small road. Tic is running along it. It's deserted and the sky is getting dark. He looks around. Nothing.

Tic: Scarecrow?

A can of drink rolls along the road. Tic draws his gun.

Tic: Hello?

Somebody taps Tic's shoulder. He spins around but is faced only with Jenna and Vod, who are making "SHHH" motions. They point to a house. The three people walk towards it. Fade to a close-up shot of Rayne. Screaming can be heard in the background. SHe looks up. The camera zooms out to reveal the barn in flames.

Rayne: NOOOOOOO!!!!

She jumps up and covers her face with a cushion from the sofa she was sleeping on. She walks towards Freak. A piece of the roof falls down. It lands on the bed, beside freak. The whole bed goes up in flames.

Rayne: FRRREEEAAAKKK!!!!!

She runs to the bed, forgetting about the fire. She shoves her hands into the blaze and pulls out freak, who's on fire. She runs out of the barn and down to a small stream. She puts freak into the water. The fire goes out but he has horrific burns. Rayne sloches down and breaks into tears. Fade to the inside of the house. The trio are searching around.

Jenna: Anything?

Tic: No. I don't think he's here.

Jenna: Dad?

No response. She says it a bit louder.

Jenna: Dad?

Still no response. She rushes to the bottom of the stairs.

Jenna: Dad!

He appears at the top.

Vod: I don't see him. He might not be here. We should try next door. I have a feeling he would have done something by now. HE has us here. If he wanted to do something, he would have.

Behind him, the loft hatch opens (There arent any stairs to it.) Scarecrow hangs down. He shoves a sharp rod of metal through Vods stomach. Vod looks shocked and falls down the stairs. Jenna scream. Scarecrow goes back up into the loft. Tic shoots at the ceiling. No sucess. Fade to a shot of a hospital. Rayne is holding a bundle. She hurries in, leaves it at the reception whilst the receptionists back is turned and leaves. There's a note. IT is read out in Raynes voice.

This boy was in a fire. I rescued him. He needs urgent treatment. Please look after him carefully. Please. R
