《The Untold Stories - Season 1》Pilot (Episode 1)
Advertisement
Sophie sits within a Post Office cross legged picking her thumbs nail tearing and biting it off. She is given a yellow box full with Today's and Yesterdays Uncollected vouchers, birthday cards and more importantly bills with The Statue of Liberty printed at the top.
Ms. Jills: Sophie you're nothing like your mother. You're lazy and selfish and if you don't hand them in under an hour you will be fired.
Ms. Jills is the owner of the Post Office and a Grandmother at the age of 86 turning 87, she hired Sophie's mother when she was 13 and is now seen as the Grandmother to Sophie. Her wrinkles tell a story of every year and every sack.
Sophie: You'll never fire your favorite worker... or should I say slave?
Ms. Jills: STOP AND GO!
Sophie sighs and leaves the Office while slamming the already broken door behind. She hears Ms. Jills fill up with anger and swear at Sophie but smiles while walking away. She pulls open the yellow box and picks up Mr. Jewenson's Birthday Card and snickers at "Jew". As she reaches the Jewenson household a vibration of fright shiver Sophie and her vision fuzzes, turning black. She regains her vision as the doorbell rings for the Jewenson's and an elder man answers the door.
Mr. Jewenson: What? Why would you ring the doorbell? Looking for trouble?
Mr. Jewenson looks at Sophie with a perplexed look and continues to look at her for answers to the questions he boldly made. Sophie shrugs off the questions and hands him the Birthday Card.
Mr. Jewenson: Oh- mail. Sorry about that.
Mr. Jewenson takes the card and backs up to close the door on Sophie but just before re-opens the door and looks at Sophie one last time before grabbing her arm.
Mr. Jewenson: You look awful - my lovely. Why don't you come inside?
Sophie struggles to get him off her arm and gets smacked across the face by Jewenson.
Mr. Jewenson: You disrespectful yo-
Sophie uses her other hand and outstretches it, a power forces the man back into the kitchen and a roaring flame erupts from the stairs spreading into the kitchen and surrounding the man and burning him alive. He swings at the flames with his arms in an attempt to escape but the flames engulf him and burn him into a crisp. Sophie reaches her other hand inside her pockets and dials the police.
Sophie: Help-.
Ms. McDonald: We can't keep her here, she's dangerous and how do we know she can't kill anyone else!
Sophie hides cramped up in her bed listening to another argument between her parents about the day of the fire. Her little brother waddles into her room and crawls into the bed with her while complaining about the argument.
Mr. McDonald: We don't know that! We must send her away!
The argument progressively turns silent as they start deciding whether to send Sophie away or not. Sophie fights back her emotions and remains strong infront of her brother while reading him a story from a book Sophie was given by her great-grandmother. Halfway through the book, her parents walk in; her mother looking more mean and her father an emotional mess.
Ms. McDonald: I'll take him and you can explain everything to her.
Ms. McDonald refuses to look at her daughter but gives a mean tone to her husband. She swoops up her son and walks away to leave Sophie and Mr. McDonald alone. Mr. McDonald looks at her with a selfless but strict expression.
Sophie: You're going to send me away aren't you? To a boarding school for troubled children..

Sophie whimpers at this line but Mr. McDonald carries onto looking at her with a calm expression.
Mr. McDonald: We're sorry for this... We thought it would skip your generation since it skipped mine and your grandmothers. Your great-grandmother was a Witch and was the Leader of the Witchal Approval until the other magical beasts took her over and she took cover here. We have to now send you over since your powers are too powerful to be hidden away. We're sending you there and we hope to see you never again.
Two men in black suits walks towards Sophie wave their hands and her clothes fly from her closets and draws into the back of the car. They grab hold of Sophie on both arms and take her away from her bed. Away from her smiley dad. Away from her brother and mother hiding behind a closet and away from the front door of her house. She gets pushed into the car and turns to open the door although another wave and the door is locked. She presses her spread out hand on the door and takes in the front garden of her home one last time before she turns back and the outside appears black. Her vision falls fuzzy again and she lands onto one of the clothes piles surrounding her.
The car pulls up outside of a College-styled House. The two drivers remain in the two front seats and flick their hands again; Sophie's clothing flying past her once again and into one of the windows of the House. The two men drag Sophie out of the car and lay her on the floor infront of the house while surrounding neighbors watch in fright. They then lower their black shades and kneel to Sophie blowing at her ears, a jolt of purple electricity enters into her ears and surrounds the brain causing her to immediately wake up and scream. She sits up and looks at the two men who smile back at her and then notice the Black Gate infront of her and the polished-white house infront of the gate. Beds of gardens surround the outside of the house and tall trees with a broken down tree house rests in one of the corner trees. Sunflowers sit in the middle of the meadows surrounded by Lupins and further with a range of Tulips, Daisies, Bluebells and other distinguishable spread out ones. Vines dangle from the Main Balcony decorated with other smaller white flowers blending in and on top of the roof remains moss revealing no brick. As the gates open up Sophie strolls inside and up onto the porch to ring the doorbell but as soon as the bell rings around the house a flashback pops up with Mr. Jewenson's eyes wide while being flown back.
A tall man with wavy black hair and piercing purple eyes creaks the door open and stares at Sophie for a moment before opening it fully revealing his long dark grey suit and a white rose in his pocket.
Professor Llama MacCarones: Hello- I believe you are Sophie McDonald. Am I correct?
Sophie McDonald: Yeah...
Sophie looks up into Professor Llama's eyes and a blinded vision appears but it quickly snaps back into reality and her head beats with pain.
Professor Llama MacCarones: I am Professor MacCarones with a double C. I will be your teacher in Witchcraft and Wizardry Magical Arts. We have seen your bags and clothes have already made home here and expect you will shortly too.
Sophie looks back at the two men who zoom off and gulps as she walks past the Professor and down the crooked hallway to where a stairway splitting into two ways sits like a throne at the end of it. At the top of it perches a tall mirror that stretches to the top of the ceiling decorating in red and black flowers and covered in what is known as Mertle Tongue. But Sophie ignores this and carries on stepping one step at a time and by the time she reaches the top two girls with crossed arms look at her judgingly.

Rachel Poppies: Who are you new girl? I thought there was only supposed to be 3 girls here this year.
Sophie McDonald: So... you, me and her?
Chelsea Williams: Her? How dare you use such language to your new sworn enemy.
Sophie McDonald: Oh... sorry?
Rachel Poppies: I'm Rachel Poppies and "her" is Chelsea Williams.
Rachel uses the quotation fingers for 'her' and smirks at Chelsea's redding face as she mocks her.
Rachel Poppies: But no... there's another. She's Cat Montreddins.
Sophie McDonald: The Cat Montreddins?
Rachel Poppies: Did we stutter? YES! The Cat Montreddins she's currently busy in her room so I wouldn't distract her.
Chelsea and Rachel both look at each other smirking and giggling silently at each other before looking at Sophie and nudging her as they walk past her. Sophie looks back at them descending down the stairs and pulls a face at them but Chelsea clicks her fingers and Sophie trips, they both look back at her.
Chelsea Williams: Oh yeah... mind the step.
They both laugh as they walk down the stairs but Sophie turns around and uses the handle as support to stand up. As she fully reaches the top a swift of wind makes her hair fly into her face and another girl with a long black dress stands before her. Sophie moves away her hair to reveal a long dark brown haired with blue eyes staring into Sophie's with only less than a meter standing distance between them. The girl pulls out her hand to offer a shake, Sophie grips it tightly but the shaking doesn't stop. She then opens her mouth and says this really speedy.
Kieghan South: Greetings! I am Kieghan South the 5th Housemate. I've read all about this House and how it was created in 1853 in an attempt to secure all witches from the normies. My parents and their parents and their parents were all with the arts so I was destined to joined the House and i've read all about you- Oh... I'm sorry.
Kieghan stops the handshake and looks around in a scared tone but Sophie chuckles at Kieghan's response and Kieghan lets off a giggle aswell.
Sophie McDonald: Have you met Rachel and Chelsea yet?
Kieghan South: Yeah... they gave me a full lecture about they were the first two to enter the house so they own it. They also mentioned Cat Montreddin but obviously they must be lying. Anyway, what room are you in? I am in that one at the end.
Sophie McDonald: I'm in the one opposite of it!
They both walk down the corridor and see "Rachel" and "Chelsea" opposite each other and "Cat" with a blank one opposite and at the far end "Sophie" and "Kieghan". Sophie and Kieghan both look at eachother smiling one last time before entering their rooms. Sophie hears Kieghan say "wow" but Sophie looks inside and her head fuzzes, falling.
A shadowed man and woman enter a room.
Shadowed Man: We can't keep her anymore... her powers have not been shown.
Shadowed Woman: We have to see what she's capable of she can be the next Queen of the House.
Shadowed Man: But what if she is weak and runs away like her stupid great-grandmother?
Shadowed Woman: Then we will have to kill her...
Sophie wakes up to Kieghan distinctly saying her name. She looks around the room; Kieghan is sitting next to her at the left and a mid 20 year old man stands over with a yellow potion in his hands. Nikos Lees. He has been the Caretaker for this household since he was 9 and ever since has made for up to 11 witches and wizards be banned from the house due to their failed attempts at flirting.
Nikos Lees: I gave you some of this Hedgehog's Eyeball Juice. It cures visions and headaches.
His smile reflects onto Sophie. A man of dreams. A man of the future. But his gaze quickly breaks towards Kieghan but Sophie's hearing becomes muffled as she gains distraction. Before she can say anything, Nikos turns to leave and Kieghan says thankyou for her.
Kieghan South: We thought you lost you. Apparently most witches once they gain they power faint and gain visions it's their power reacting-
Sophie McDonald: Kieghan you're talking fast again.
Kieghan South: Sorry... again.
Sophie takes in her surroundings and looks at the turquoise floral pattern on the walls and a bed in the middle of the room with sheets made of Sheep Fur. A closet and draws stands on the other side staring at the bed with a plain white decoration. A turquoise carpet matches the walls and sinks Sophie and Kieghan's feet into the warmth. Next to the bed sits perfectly a picture of Sophie and her brother smiling at the picture taken at a Selfie Angle with all of her clothing separated into piles of Shirts, Jumpers, Coats etc. that are as tall as Sophie with a black-dress for the Uniform around the house although a white-dress also accompanies it. They sink and breathe in the freshly burned candles smelling like Christmas Day it all gets interrupted when the two hear heavy footsteps and shouting down the hallway. They both peer their heads around the corner to see Rachel and Chelsea arguing close to the stairs.
Rachel Poppies: You stupid dumb bitch how could you show us up like that?
Chelsea Williams: I didn't know what I was doin-
It was too late for Chelsea to justify herself as Rachel smacks her and reaches for her hair. Kieghan and Sophie step out into the hallway as Chelsea stretches out her hand and Rachel flies toward a wall. Rachel grunts and sets Sophie's arm on fire but before it can reach further damage a swift of wind appears at the top of the stair and Sophie's burning arm has a blue bucket pour water onto it making her scream even more, the floating blue bucket shortly disappears.
Professor Llama MacCarones: GIRLS I should not be telling you to not fight. You should be grown adults and know what you did was wrong. As for your punishments...
Llama clicks his fingers, Chelsea and Rachel float spread eagle on the wall with gasping for air.
Professor Llama MacCarones: Now say sorry to each other unless you want to banned from the House... I can easily replace both of you with Unaccepted Housemates.
Chelsea Williams: I'm sorry! I won't do it ever again!
Rachel Poppies: You think i'm going to say sorry to a bitch who deserves what she got?
Llama deepens his thumb into his palm causing Rachel's chest to get tighter and for it to be tighter to breath.
Rachel Poppies: FINE! you win... I'm sorry.
They both get loose and fall onto the floor. Rachel grasping at her chest and Chelsea holding her neck.
Professor Llama MacCarones: Now all of you get dressed into your uniforms. Our first Blood Feast is in 10 minutes and I expect to see you all there...
Llama evaporates and wind makes everyone's hair move into their faces yet again. Rachel and Chelsea exchange mean faces before storming into their own private rooms. Kieghan and Sophie look each other before going into their rooms.
Nikos Lees grabs a golden bell at the foot of the stairs and rings it, each ding marking each Housemate.
DING; Rachel walks down the stairs with a candle wearing her smart black dress and a high ponytail, while descending down the stairs she waves her hand over the candle and it sets on fire.
DING; Kieghan walks down the stairs second with another candle. Her dark brown hair looking more curly and glitter spread around in a star shape on her hands. The black dress moving from left to right every step down she takes.
DING; Chelsea walks down the stairs third with a taller candle than Kieghan and Rachel. Her short dirty blonde hair and green eyes match the decorations she put on her candle.
DING; Sophie descends fourth with a small candle on a small grey tray.
Another ding gets let off but there are no sign of Cat. Nikos sighs and leads them towards a room with a long table in the middle. Portraits of past Queens and Kings of the household surrounding and judging the new Witches. five Chairs lined at one end of the table and one containing Professor Llama on the other. The four Witches take their seats and stare at Llama. Nikos walks towards Llama and whispers something before leaving through the side door.
Professor Llama MacCarones: As all- or all know The Blood Feast was a feast to celebrate our newcomers into the Magical World. The reason as to why it is named Blood is because we all share the same blood.... Magical Blood and in to celebrate that we must eat a selection of the favorited food from our founder; Kyphi Krakze. Now eat up because today is the first and last time you will see a Blood Feast.
The Professor smiles at them as he clicks and food for all options appears in the center of the table. Three maids walk into the room and hand around selections for different foods. Another maid walks into the room holding a large metal dish covering a steaming and juicy smell. They rest it onto the table and take off the dish revealing chicken wings. Rachel and Kieghan grabbing one first but Sophie refusing to and waiting for later. They all take options of their food and wait for Llama to start the feast.
Professor Llama MacCarones: You now may begin.
Rachel takes a chicken wing and bites down onto it but a worried emotional fills her face. Kieghan looks at her chicken wing and starts screaming. Rachel spits out the chicken wing as a finger pops out of her mouth. The other three look at the chicken wings full with fingers and all start to scream.
Kieghan gets up from her seat and leaves the room to puke.
