"The Wolf" Screenplay

[Truman]

WOW how many more parts are there

Maybe about 2 or 3 more. Getting close to the end.

[hawkeye]

if it was made into a movie it would have to be a bit longer depending on some things cause it only took me 30 mins to read 1-5 even though im a fast reader...

and you are 11 so everyone else is probably a faster reader than you.

[Truman]

Yeah, but the time of the action and words of each character is real-time, not just fast reading, especially if you take into mind the points where it says "this takes about 'blah' seconds." So basically, if you read it with each action and phrase occurring normally, it would be 1 1/2 to 2 hours long.

[hawkeye]

good point btw i am at a high school reading level

[Machiavelli]

The people in my high school are all dumb so I dont think that is saying to much.

[hawkeye]

Part 7

Cuts to the commander's face which turns out to be Pytor

Cuts to Hestram who raises his sword

Cuts to Pytor

Pytor: Wait!

Hestram: For what?

Cuts to wolf who growls menacingly

Pytor: Have mercy, please!

Hestram lowers sword

Darus/Wolf: You're- You're letting him go?!

Pytor looks at wolf, eyes widened

Hestram: Would you like to have a swift moment of peace before I run you through?

Darus/Wolf: What are you--

Hestram interrupts

Hestram: He's got nowhere to go. What could happen?

Pytor: Yes!! Please--

Pytor stops and looks back at a door behind him

Pytor: That door--

Hestram holds hand up to silence Pytor and walks over to the doorway and opens it to reveal it's a closet

Hestram inspects the closet for anything suspicious for about 5 seconds and steps out

Hestram: Make it quick.

Pytor looks at Hestram, then the wolf with a solemn look on his face, then enters the closet and closes the door

Hestram steps a few yards away

Darus/Wolf: And he calls me a coward.

Hestram: Most likely he'll kill himself before we ever touch him again.

Darus/Wolf: The damn coward dares to call me a coward and throws me out!

Darus/Wolf: (looks at the door) What if he tries to escape?! He could open the door and--

Hestram interrupts

Hestram: Relax! He's got nowhere to go.

Cuts to Pytor in the closet opening a trapdoor on the floor and lowering a rope ladder down

Cut back to Hestram sitting on a wooden bench with the wolf next to him, both looking at a bust of Pytor on a table next to them

A soft bump is made and Hestram immediately looks at the door

Hestram: (gets up from chair) On second thought...

Hestram slowly walks over to the door for 9 seconds, midway hearing another louder bump, then opening the door very fast and looking into the closet, seeing Pytor get off the rope at the bottom of the first floor about 20 feet down, then yanking the rope ladder away from the posts that it was loosely tied to, just enough for one person to climb down slowly

Cuts to Pytor at the bottom starting to run down a stone hallway he entered and stopping suddenly seeing a group of Hestram's soldiers running his direction, then turning to run the other way

Cuts to Hestram and the wolf running out of the room and turrning right; cuts to two passages with stairs that they run toward

Hestram: You go down the left passage and I'll go down the right! We'll catch Pytor on both ends!

Darus/Wolf: Right!

Both turn their ways and cuts to Pytor running through a passage and turning left; Pytor passes a passage and keeps going; cuts back to the passage he passed and shows Hestram running out it and turning right for Pytor

Cuts to Pytor running but instantly stopping dead when the wolf starts walking slowly toward Pytor, growling furiously; Pytor backs away for 2 seconds and turns back to see Hestram is behind him approaching slowly; cuts to Pytor with fear in his eyes

Cuts to Hestram looking triumphant at Pytor and then noticing something; cuts to a passage to the left of Pytor which Pytor sees and begins to run down

Cuts to Hestram and the wolf both running to the passage and running toward Pytor, slowly catching up, alternating shots between Pytor and Hestram and the wolf

Pytor reaches the end of the passage and opens a wooden door leading to the outside, then slamming it shut behind him; Hestram and Darus arrive there a second later and open the door to see 175 of his men fighting Pytor's guards, which Pytor starts to run through, beginning to escape

Cuts to Hestram with a very angry expression and music changes as he charges into the fight with the wolf by his side

Hestram tries to fight his way through for about 4 seconds, but encountering a sword about to strike him from the front, and quickly parrying and slashing the man's chest; cuts to the wolf biting another guard's leg, then cuts to Hestram who sees the guard being bitten; Hestram dashes over to the bitten guard

The guard, still being bitten on leg, comes to his senses and sees is about to slash the wolf when he sees Hestram coming for him; Hestram makes it over and strikes at the guard but guard parries back so hard Hestram falls back

Guard, now with enough time, is about to strike the wolf; cuts to Hestram who sees this and partially gets up and, with all his might, cuts the guard's foot off at the ankle the wolf bit and guard falls

Darus/Wolf: Watch it!!

Hestram gets completely up and stabs the fallen guard into the heart

Cuts to Pytor turning back, almost completely through the fighting crowd, cuts to Pytor's eyeview of Hestram and the wolf, then cuts back to Pytor who runs out of the crowd toward another castle about 2 miles away

Hestram notices Pytor getting away and fights his way through the crowd with the wolf by his side which lasts for about 7 seconds; Hestram stops at a big guard who attempts to slash Hestram's head off

Shot turns into slow motion showing Hestram seeing the fast approaching sword and he ducks just in time, this takes about 4 seconds; shot turns back to regular motion; Hestram, the sword having passed all the way over his head, seizes this moment and stabs the big guard in the stomach while still partially ducking

Hestram again notices Pytor almost completely out of the fight and begins to run toward Pytor, fighting his way through the crowd and making it out, which takes about 8 more seconds

Cuts to Hestram seeing Pytor having successfully gotten away; cuts to Pytor running in the distance toward a castle; cuts to Hestram's furious face

Darus/Wolf: That's my castle!! (cuts from Hestram's face to the castle Pytor is running toward)

Cuts to Hestram's hands tightening around his sword grip so hard it makes a faint squeek; cuts to very close view of Hestram's angry-looking eyes

Hestram: He got away.

Darus/Wolf: He'll warn the guards for sure! We must attack quickly!

Hestram: (ignoring the wolf) No one ever get's away from me.

Darus/Wolf: Hestram! We must call the troops in to settle the skirmish back there and attack Fahalas!

Hestram: (still ignoring the wolf) But he did.

Darus/Wolf: Hestram! Do you understa--

Hestram interrupts

Hestram: Follow me!

Hestram turns back and starts running toward the fight; cuts to the lieutenant running from the fight; cuts to the wolf looking confused at Hestram running toward the fight; the wolf runs after Hestram

Lieutenant meets Hestram about 15 feet from the fight

Lieutenant: (exhausted talk) The guards see our army approaching and are retreating back to the fortress.

Hestram looks from Lieutenant to the fight; cuts to Hestram's eyeview of the fight, then moves quickly from the fight to the army charging in; cuts back to Hestram

Hestram: (looks at Lieutenant) You called them in?

Cuts to Lieutenant

Lieutenant: I took care of it.

Cuts to Hestram's eyeview of the fight again, the army having charged and the guards locking themselves inside; soldiers start banging the door; cuts back to Hestram

Hestram: Call the army away and put 40 men guarding every entrance!

Lieutenant: Yes sir!

Hestram: (looks back at the wolf's castle) Let's get your revenge, Darus.

Cuts to the wolf's face looking at the castle; camera slowly fades to black

Camera cuts to Hestram walking down a long line of soldiers; cuts to close view of Hestram; Hestram looks behind him where it cuts to the castle

Hestram: Lieutenant, you command the left flank.

Lieutenant: Yes commander.

Cuts to the wolf beside Hestram

Darus/Wolf: We attack now, yes?

Hestram: Not just now. We should have attacked long ago. Gildur was a terrible plan. It's less guarded than Fahalas.

Cuts to the second level of the castle, teeming with archers and guards

Hestram: Quietly run!

Lieutenant: (commanding the left flank) Quickly but quietly make your way to the wall! The archers will cover you when you're within 100 paces away.

Hestram: Let's go, Darus.

Hestram raises his hand high and motions it forward; army starts to run quietly for 20 seconds, alternating between shots of Hestram, the army, Lieutenant, and the wolf running quietly

Cuts to the castle slowly being approached by the camera; cuts to two guards noticing the approaching army coming very close; one guard runs off yelling

Guard: Hestram's arrived! Positions everyone!!

Soldiers on the second level start running about getting ready for the attack; cuts to Hestram and the army within 50 paces of the wall and arrows start to fly over them, hitting a few of the guards above; cuts to the soldiers on the level putting up shields; cuts to Hestram running and looking up to see archers with flaming arrows coming next to the shields, ready to fire

Hestram: Hold the charge!! Hold!!!

Soldiers repeat the order and soldiers slowly stop, very near to the wall; Hestram looks up, baffled and with a little fear in his eyes

Cuts to the second level with Pytor walking into view of Hestram

Pytor: Hestram, you fool.

Cuts to Hestram's face getting angry

Pytor: You should have destroyed me when you could.

Cuts back to Pytor

Pytor: Now I'm here, and you're there. (cut to Hestram with "...and you're there" line)

Hestram: I'm not a fool, Pytor. Just noble enough to have let you have some time alo--

Pytor interrupts with laughter, and laughs harder, showing Hestram getting angrier; cuts to Pytor

Pytor: Hestram. Always being a bit noble. Stupid, but noble.

Hestram: (cuts to Hestram) What is it you want, Pytor?!

Pytor: (smiles) I want your pet! (cuts to the wolf stepping back a bit) The wolf. Give it to me in exchange for your lif--

Hestram: Never!! You'll have to kil--

Darus/Wolf: Hestram, it's all right. I might have a chance to change back to myself. Remember the secret way.

Hestram looks to his forward right and sees a dirty longbow leaning against the wall about 100 feet away

Pytor: What will it be Hestram? The wolf, (cuts to the wolf and back to Pytor) or one of my flaming arrows in your neck?

Hestram: (looks up and then back at the wolf) You could be killed! He knows you're Darus!

Darus/Wolf: We must take risks at times. Let me go.

Hestram: But you--

Darus/Wolf: Let me go, Hestram. You can sneak in the passage.

Wolf starts to run toward the castle; cuts to Pytor smiling

Hestram attempts to run after him but Lieutenant stops him before he takes a step

Lieutenant: Let him go, my lord.

Hestram looks painfully at the wolf going away; cuts to the wolf looking back at Hestram, then guards from behind take the wolf by the tail and quickly muzzle his mouth; cuts to Hestram

Hestram: No!!

Cuts to wolf yelping and getting partially dragged on the ground as he is pulled away; cuts to Pytor

Pytor: You made the right choice, Hestram.

Cuts to Hestram who gets an extremely furious face

Hestram: Lieutenant! Get 30 men out here; we're going to the passage!

Lieutenant: But commander we'll be seen!

Hestram: No we won't! (points to wide ledge 10 feet above the passage)

Lieutenant looks and after 2 seconds quickly runs and musters about 31 men over to run with Hestram to the passageway, which takes 5 seconds

Pytor sees this and gives a command to the archers to fire at the main army body; archers fire and the army starts to retreat to afar off, showing many men getting killed by the flaming arrows

Cuts to Hestram running with the 31 men to the passage (the arrow against the wall); cuts to a few soldiers firing arrows from the wall and hitting three of the 31 men below which it cuts to; Hestram and his men reach the passage and soldiers stop firing arrows

Pytor: (looks back left) Why have you stopped?!

Soldier #1: Hestram is out of sight!

Soldier #2: He's gone under the ledge there!

Pytor runs over to the wall and looks down, seeing nothing but the army retreating away

Pytor: ...Guard the wall if he comes out again.

Pytor turns away and goes in a doorway; cuts to the door from the inside which Pytor opens and shuts and leans against after shutting it; this takes about 6 seconds; Pytor has angry expression for 3 seconds

Pytor: (grin slowly forms) Darus.

Pytor stops leaning on the door and goes forward into a hallway ahead of him, then turns right, which takes 2 seconds

Cuts to Hestram and his men next to the wall

Hestram: Lieutenant, check the guard on the wall.

Lieutenant slowly looks from under the ledge and sees no one on the wall; Lieutenant walks a little out of the ledge's cover and looks at the wall to find no one is guarding it directly, but back a little, each guard talking casually to each other; Lieutenant runs back under the ledge over to Hestram

Lieutenant: The guards aren't guarding.

Hestram: Perfect! I want you to catch up with the army and send them back here to attack.

Lieutenant: Commander, won't the guards notice them coming back and shoot?

Hestram: The guards won't have time to reform and prepare with an army at the wall. The passage will be open for them to freely charge into.

Lieutenant: That depends on how wide the passage is. Who shall we send?

Hestram: You, Lieutenant. You're second under me so they won't think you're a spy. I must get inside myself to save Darus.

Lieutenant: I'll leave right now, and quietly as well. The army is probably no more than 2 miles away.

Lieutenant is about to run when Hestram grabs his arm

Hestram: Be careful, Lieutenant. (lets go of arm)

Lieutenant gives a half-smile and slowly approaches the end of the ledge, looks from under it and sees no guards; Lieutenant runs quietly out for about 4 seconds but sees a guard approaching the wall to give it a look;

Lieutenant thinks fast and falls over

Cuts to soldier's eyeview of ground below and sees the men they had killed previously; soldier walks away but camera stays on the view of the dead soldiers from above; 2 seconds later one of the bodies gets up; cuts to lower view reveal it's the Lieutenant getting up; cuts to Lieutenant running and looking back about 3 seconds after he began running

Cuts to Hestram looking at Lieutenant running off with a hopeful expression

Cuts to Pytor in an elaborate room with a golden chair in one corner and other luxuries surrounding the room; Pytor hears the guards approaching with the wolf to large hand-crafted double-doors which it cuts to; guards enter noisily with the wolf on a rope and in a muzzle

Cuts to Pytor who has a pleased expression; guards take 5 seconds to remove muzzle and rope

Pytor: Leave us.

Soldier: But sir--

Pytor interrupts with the drawing of his sword

Pytor: (while drawing sword) You have no idea who you just brought in. Leave us!

Soldier: Yes sir.

Soldiers turn and exit out the door; Pytor steps over to the doors and shuts them, then looks back at the wolf, smiling with a sinister look; cuts to the wolf, who snarls a bit...

Please leave some opinions on how you like the story so far. I know you'll love the ending. There are about 2 more parts.

[strike wolf]

hmm...








I twas good.

[Truman]

Any other opinions?

[rocksolid]

I didn't realize you weren't going to finish it with this part...thought it was coming to a bloody conclusion right now...then you leave it a cliffhanger. Very dastardly move on your part, young Truman. Hang the suspense! Give us the next part!

[hawkeye]

it was good so fill me in is pytor the guy whtook darus' throne

[strike wolf]

Well if you don't speed read the material you would know.

[Truman]

Yeah, Pytor's the guy....and his wife helped it happen in a way.

EDIT: By the way, the name "Pytor" is just a misspelled version of "Piter" from "Dune," where Piter was the Harkonnen mentat. I thought it was a good villain name, so I used it and changed the spelling. Thought you'd like to know.

[hawkeye]

kool whats dune

[Truman]

A book by Frank Herbert that changed the world of science fiction. You don't know?

[hawkeye]

no im young and well read but no

[Truman]

Oh well....

Are there any other opinions? I've looked over the last part of the story, and I think the next part will be the end.

[hawkeye]
