Nosebleed Chapter 1: Yesterday And Today
It is 5:45 pm and Caesar is attempting to fix the lights at his job, he is in the back area. around him are boxes, pallets, and items such as toys and shelf's and cleaning supplies, on his left is his coworker and on his right is another coworker, in front of him is a Fuse box as he is working on it. we can't really see anything at all, as it's almost pitch black but we zoom in on Caesar's hands as he is working on the fuse box
CAESAR VALENTINE
Alright, that should do it.
A click sound can be heard as the lights all come back on at once
CAESAR VALENTINE
That was a lot easier than I expected
Caesar puts his electrician's gloves in his back pocket
COWORKER NUMBER ONE
Thank you, Caesar, that was driving me nuts.
CAESAR VALENTINE
No problem.
Caesar lifts his sleeve and looks at his watch it's now 5:51 and Caesar seems to have a glow in his eye and a grin on his face
CAESAR VALENTINE
Alright! My shift is almost up.
MANAGER
hey, what are ya doing back here
CAESAR VALENTINE
well, the lights were out so I came back here and-
MANAGER
NO NO NO unless I tell you to do it then you can do it
CAESAR VALENTINE
alright sorry my bad I just thought
MANAGER
Nah you thought nothing, now I need ya to get all the carts from outside then you can leave alright
Caesar's glow and grin fade away and turn into a face of disappointment
CAESAR VALENTINE
*sigh* alright I got it
MANAGER
Thank you and be here tomorrow at 7 AM DON'T BE LATE
CAESAR VALENTINE
Alright.
The sun is beginning to set as Caesar is pulling back 15 carts and pushing them towards the building his face is dark with an annoying look with his head hanging
CAESAR VALENTINE (V.O)
Man, this sucks just worked eight damn hours just to do it again even earlier tomorrow, is this really all life has to offer just working at a job I don't love just to pay for shit I don't want to pay for.
Caesar's face seems to glow and his grin seems to reappear realizing that he is making 16 dollars an hour fresh out of high school (this is not a lot but he's still essentially a stupid high school kid)
CAESAR VALENTINE (V.O)
Eh money is money I GUESS BUT THIS STILL SUCKS MAN, WORK MY ASS OFF FOR NOTHING IN RETURN. I GOT NOTHING MAN NO FRIENDS, NO GIRLFRIEND, JESUS
He brings the carts back into the store
The carts reenter the building in the front area where there are self-checkout booths and cash registers and workers moving all about as is Caesar pushing the carts in the cart area where there are about 45 other carts sitting
MANAGER
Did you get allll of them
CAESAR VALENTINE
yeah.....
MANAGER
All right good now clock out and be here at 7 don't forget YOU CANT BE LATE
CAESAR VALENTINE
see ya.
Caesar is driving home in his 2009 Toyota Camry, he looks down at his dash and sees that he is low on gas so he pulls over to a gas station that is pretty rough looking with the pumps being all stained and there's trash blowing in the wind and multiple pumps are out of order
CAESAR VALENTINE (V.O)
Santo dio this place is nasty
Caesar turns off his car and steps out and puts his card into the pump, it is denied 3 times before he gets it to work. over to Caesars left is a very cute girl she is filling up her car and she drops her phone and bends over to pick it up
CAESAR VALENTINE (V.O)
oh my god she's so cute, should I talk to her, hell no I shouldn't, what would I even say, I guess ill just keep staring but not too much don't wanna seem creepy
as the woman is bending over a man steps out of his huge black truck the man is around six foot six inches and is extremely jacked, he is wearing a grey tank top with tight jeans and some Nike shoes
HUNTER (the man with the truck)
What's going on girl what are you doing later
GIRL
*silence*
HUNTER
come on I know you can hear me
the girl gives him a nasty look and continues to fill her car
HUNTER
I see what you're doing your playing hard to get
I love it when girls do that
GIRL
I'm not interested
HUNTER
come on baby I know your crazy about me I
mean look at my arm *flexes arms*
GIRL

HUNTER

GIRL

HUNTER
damn, well I'm not taking no for an answer I know you want some of this
GIRL
Do I have to spell it out or something. are you this stupid
HUNTER
come on baby girl I'm not leaving till you go out with me
hunter starts to walk closer to the girl as sweat starts to run down Caesars back and face
CAESAR VALENTINE (V.O)
oh my god I should do something, hell no I shouldn't look at this guy he's huge, but what if I don't, aw crap what do I do, wait, the golf club
in my trunk
without hunter noticing Caesar opens his trunk and grabs a golf club
CAESAR VALENTINE (V.O)
dad always told me to keep a golf club or a bat
in my car just in Case
*IN CAESAR'S MIND*
Caesar hits the man over the head with the club knocking him down
CAESAR VALENTINE *IN A HEROIC VOICE*
Leave this poor innocent beautiful female Alone you dumbass
HUNTER *IN A MORE CRying VOICE*
Wow I could never compete with a stud like you and I promise to never harass women ever again
GIRL
Wow-what a hero I'm suddenly so attracted to you as I'm a girl and I love hero's
The girl begins to kiss Caesar repeatedly on his face as we fade back to reality
real life
Caesar goes up behind hunter and cracks him over the head with the club with a loud thud hunter smacks the ground and is down for the
count
GIRL
ahhhhhhhhh! what the hell is wrong with you!
CAESAR VALENTINE
It's ok your safe now Ma'am *caesar comes back to real life again* did you just ask what's wrong with me?
GIRL
he was annoying yes but he wasn't getting touchy or anything
CAESAR VALENTINE
I'm sorry I just thought
GIRL
I think you killed him!
the girl runs back into her car and speeds away with her tires making a very loud screeching sound
CAESAR VALENTINE
holy shi- what have I don-
Caesars mind goes blank as he starts to drool, foam at the side of his mouth begins to form as his vision goes blurry and then fades to black as his vision comes back he flies through space and then sees what seems to be a kaleidoscope of color and weird shapes and people in the style of the Beatles yellow submarine and the last thing he sees out of all of this craziness is the number 5
CAESAR VALENTINE
what the hell was tha- oh crap I forgot the guy oh no
Caesar runs back to his car and drives off not realizing that he didn't take the pump out so he tears the pump out and it falls out of his car.
CAESAR VALENTINE
I'm such a terrible person I just left him there oh my god, should I go back? no way I could get in way too much trouble.
Caesar walks into his apartment which is pretty clean overall there is a medium-sized tv in the living room and a game console with a couple of cups on the coffee table and a couch
CAESAR VALENTINE
Oh my god I can't believe I just did that
Caesar locks the door and goes to the bathroom and throws up
CAESAR VALENTINE
Jesus Christ
Caesar goes to wash his hands after he throws up and as he is washing he notices the number five on his palm
CAESAR VALENTINE (V.O)
Did someone write on my hand?
Caesar attempts to wash the number off his hand To no avail, he begins to sweat and feels like he's about to drop on a roller coaster, at the same time feeling the need to throw up again.
CAESAR VALENTINE
Was I drugged? No there is no way but all that crazy shit I saw when I hit that guy, this is like some hangover type shit oh my god. My Nonna will kill me dude holy shit
Caesar pulls out his phone and takes a picture and sends it to his friends
jared (PHONE)
What was the point of sending a pic of your palm dude
CAESAR VALENTINE (PHONE)
Do you not see that tattoo
Jared (PHONE)
Nah there's noting there
CAESAR VALENTINE (PHONE)

jared (PHONE)

joe joe (PHONE)

CAESAR VALENTINE (PHONE)

Jared (PHONE)

joe joe (PHONE)

CAESAR VALENTINE (V.O)
SCREW THIS I'M DONE WITH EVERYONE
CAESAR VALENTINE
What time even is it
Caesar checks the time and it's 12:15
CAESAR VALENTINE
Ah crap I have working tomorrow. damn it, stupid ass job
NEXT DAY
CAESAR VALENTINE
So you really don't see anything
COWORKER NUMBER ONE
No man, there's nothing there
CAESAR VALENTINE
Bro, you really don't see the huge number 5
COWORKER NUMBER ONE
No dude not at all, man you're freaking me out just get away from me
CAESAR VALENTINE *pointing at his palm*
Dude, it's right there
Caesar does an outline of the 5 on his palm
COWORKER NUMBER ONE
Yeah I promise you I don't see anything. now, I'm gonna go you can tweak on your own time
CAESAR VALENTINE
Bro, I'm freaking out
MANAGER
Hey Caesar, CARTS, 15 OF THEM NOW!
CAESAR VALENTINE
Yeah I got it
CAESAR VALENTINE (V.O)
Every day man, I feel like 80 percent of my shift is getting carts, FUCK!
Caesar is grabbing carts and he has about five. the parking lot is packed, it is a very busy day as a black truck parks in the distance about 80 feet away from Caesar
HUNTER
HEY ASSHOLE!
CAESAR VALENTINE (V.O)
Wow that guy is pissed at someone
HUNTER
yo! I know you can hear me
CAESAR VALENTINE (V.O)
Who is this guy talking to
HUNTER
Dude with the carts I know you can hear me
Caesar turns around And sees the guy from yesterday, his body begins to tremble and he dashes back into the Building
Caesar runs up to his manager in a cold sweat
CAESAR VALENTINE (WORRIED)
Hey man I just threw up in the parking lot can I head out
MANAGER
is that even a question? get out of here I don't need you getting the better workers sick
CAESAR VALENTINE (RUNNING AWAY)
Thanks
Caesar runs to the back and finds the back door and runs into the employee parking lot and gets into his car and drives away as fast as he can
Caesar opens the door to see Hunter already in his apartment waiting for him
HUNTER
What's up little man
CAESAR VALENTINE (SHAKING)
Hey?
HUNTER
I bet you're wondering how I found this place well that woman took a picture of your license plate, and I got your name and found where you lived, all I had to do was pick the lock. Now I'm not that mad at you all I want is my number back ok.
CAESAR VALENTINE (CHOKED UP)
Honestly dude I don't even know what you're talking about can you please just leave me alone
HUNTER
Oh man that's awkward, well, let me just tell you something you just entered a death game, your life will never be the same as it was before, you should have just minded your own business pal.
CAESAR VALENTINE
I'll give you what you want just don't hurt me
HUNTER
I don't know if I can, you have the number 5 and you know that I'll have it once I'm done with you and I don't want the stress on my back ya know
CAESAR VALENTINE
What stress? What does the tattoo have to do with any of this
HUNTER
Oh jeez, you're even more clueless than I thought dude well I'll just end it quickly for ya ok so hold still
Hunter flexes his right arm with his veins popping, we see a spinning shot as he shoots a bolt of lightning out of his palm directly at Caesar who barely dodges it.
CAESAR VALENTINE *TREMBELING*
What the hell was that!
THEN CAESAR RUNS AWAY TO HIS ROOM AND LOCKS THE DOOR WHICH HUNTER THEN BUSTS DOWN LAUGHING SO CAESAR SOCKS HIM ACROSS THE FACE TO NO AVAIL BECAUSE HIS ENTIRE BODY IS NOW ELECTRIC *his skin is still normal but touching him would be like hugging a giant bug zapper* SO HIS BODY ONLY SHOCKS CAESAR WHEN HE TOUCHES HUNTER
CAESAR VALENTINE
Ahhhhhhhhh!
so Caesar then crawls In between Hunter's legs and runs for his car.
As Caesar gets to his car he starts it, Hunter shoots another bolt of lightning shorting out the battery. Caesar is running out of ideas, he grabs a water bottle from out of his car and splashes hunter which does a little damage but not nearly enough to take him down. Hunter then grabs Caesar by the throat And Repeatedly punches him in the face causing him to bleed from his nose, hunter then looks at his hand expecting to see a five on it but it's still just a normal palm he then shocks Caesar a couple of times and drops him to the ground. he then looks at his palm again and still sees no 5. while he looks at his palm Caesar grabs the electricians gloves from his car and puts them on, he then winds up for a huge punch
CAESAR VALENTINE
AHHHHHHHH! EAT THIS FUCKER!
Caesar hits hunter with what seems to be a devastating punch to the face but when he opens his eyes he sees that Hunter completely ate the punch and it did nothing to him
HUNTER
hahahahahahahah! That took some guts kid I almost feel kinda bad for having to kill you. well, at least you put up a good fight
Hunter picks up Caesar and slams him into the ground cracking the pavement below him. Caesar has gotten so weak that Hunter does not even need to use his powers against him. he then picks up Caesar for a second time and does one more huge final slam to Caesar. when Caesar hits the ground he coughs up blood and is unable to speak anymore
HUNTER
wow you still not dead. you're pretty tough for someone who entered the LOF by accident. but, you're not tough enough, sorry about this you put up an ok fight I give you a 3 out of 10
hunter then steps on Caesars head and is attempting to crush it, all caesar hears is a cracking sound which he assumes to be his skull as he is so beat up and tired that he can't even scream or attempt to getaway
CAESAR VALENTINE (V.O)
is this the end? no, it can't be, come on get up, come on dumbass body move, COME ON!
before Caesars skull is shattered a giant sword pierces through Hunter's body and slices through his whole body as if he were butter, Hunter's body falls to the ground as what Caesar sees before him is a man with long flowing hair and a blood-stained sword
END OF CHAPTER 1
