Ext. Mountain- Day
Craig sees Ella
Craig: I am glad that you are alive. Your skills will come in handy
Stella: What skill? I have nothing to offer
She walks away away while Craig enters a tent to see the captain
Craig: Captain, what will we do now? There is no way we will be able to survive for long. We don't have enough supplies
Captain: We have to figure out something. How many are we
Craig: Not that many. The search team and few men who can fight. Mostly is is girls and women
Captain: With our numbers we can't fight. For now we are hidden which will buy is some time
Ext. Woods - Night
Dan arrives as his father commanded
Cy: Sir, the prince is here
Mike: Everyone bow before your prince
Dan: Captain
Mike: Your highness
Junior pulls Ally's hand as she is the only one standing and whispers
Junior: Please do as he says and don't die
Ally: I will not bow to a murderer who has no respect for human life. You should be ashamed of yourself. How do you sleep at night knowing that your hands are covered with innocent blood
Mike: Kill her
Ally: I am not afraid of death but let me tell you; he who kills by the sword will die by sword. If you don't kill me right now I will remind you of these words and moment before killing you myself
Junior: {she is just like sister}
Mike: These wench! How dare you curse me
Dan: Let her be. By tomorrow we should reach home
Mike:{ she is lucky because of him or else I would have sliced her throat for insulting and disrespecting me}
Ally: {insolent fellows, if Stella was here we'd have these men a lesson. Where are you? I refuse to believe that you are dead}
Ext. Mountain - Night
She is drinking alone under a tree when Leo joins her
Leo: I see, you still haven't changed your habits. I guess it's true that habits die hard
Stella: Can you get lost
Leo: What? Can't I join you
Stella: What's the use you have already joined me
She sips then passes the bottle to him
Stella: Life is strange, not long ago we had everything we ever wanted. Now it's gone in a blink. We are hiding here waiting for death
Leo: So you are drinking your problems away
Stella: Thanks for the words of course. I am just relaxing. I am not the type to let her troubles pull me down. I am going to live my life to the fullest. I don't have shackles
Leo: Maniac!
Stella: Bastard!
Wayne: Quit it you two. I can't believe you still have time to bicker. One minute with you and our Leo has changed. Bad girl
Captain: I am glad that everyone here is fine. As you all know we have lost our home so we should look out for one another in order to survive
Man: What are we going to do. We are all going to die here. We might as well just do it on our own
Stella: What a loser. You might as well die alone why drag all of us into it. Who is we? You and who?
Dawn: Quit it! Ella
Stella: Stella! Stella! Why do you all keep calling me that
Girlie: I say we bring the fight to them. How dare they attack us when we are sleeping
Stella: Surely you are living up to your personality. Act first then maybe think later
Dawn: Do you have a better solution?
Stella: I say we all go out separate ways than wait for death here
Dawn: Shut up!
Ext. Woods- Day
He wakes people to go on with the journey
Mike: Prepare yourself for a walk of a lifetime. Consider it a walk to your new home
Ally: How can we walk when we are hungry, it's been days since we had a proper meal. The least you could do is feed us properly
Mike: Look at my face "I don't care" Now move it before you regret it
After a while everyone is exhausted
Eve: This is it, I can't carry on
Junior: Me too. I can't take it anymore
Ally: Hang in there
She sits down so is everyone
Cy: Sir, they are sitting down. What should I do
Mike: You see your highness. We should have killed her early. She is nothing but trouble
Dan: What does she want
Ally: Unlike you we have been walking, we are hungry and our feet hurt
Mike: Beat them
Ally: Go ahead and do your best, you might as well kill all of us
Dan: No such thing will happen today. Give them whatever they need
Mike: But sir, how can you that. Slaves should not be pampered, the king will not like this
Dan: Then he shouldn't know about it
Ally: How ironic, we have to beg for our own food. Everyone! Eat as much as you can until we empty our stolen food
Dan: Who is she? The princess?
Mike: They don't have one
Dan: She is smart. But with her mouth she won't survive for long
Ally: Who said I cared? One thing is certain, you will all get what is coming for you. She will make all of you pay
Dan: Who?
Ally: Oh! The little prince is curious. You will see in time
Mike this is what happens when slaves are pampered
