Setting: Jesse's party is in full swing, but the atmosphere is strange. The lights are dim, and there's an almost hypnotic quality to the music. People seem entranced, their eyes glazed over as they mingle. Unbeknownst to Ethan, Benny, and Sarah, Jesse and his vampire gang have something sinister planned for the guests.

[Inside the dimly lit room, Sarah pushes through the crowd, her eyes scanning for her friends.]

Sarah: (whispering urgently) Come on, where are you, Erica… Jamie? This isn’t just a regular party…

[She spots Ethan and Benny on the other side of the room. They’re both staring at something, and she realizes it’s their friend Rory, who’s acting strange, caught up in the music and shadows.]

Ethan: (leaning to Benny, wide-eyed) Do you see him? He’s like… completely zoned out! This party’s seriously sketchy, Benny.

Benny: (nervously chuckling) Yeah, man. I don't know if it’s the music or what, but this is some major vampire lair vibes.

Sarah: (appearing suddenly beside them) Ethan! Benny! This isn’t the time. I need your help. (She glances around the room, speaking quickly) Erica and Jamie are here, and they’re not safe. Jesse’s up to something—I can feel it.

Ethan: (nodding, looking serious) I knew this place was off… (pauses, realizing) Wait—Jamie’s here too?

Sarah: (determined) Yes, she came with Erica. We need to get them both out before something happens.

Benny: (glancing at Rory, conflicted) But what about Rory? He’s, like… practically hypnotized over there.

Sarah: (firmly) I’ll take care of Erica and Jamie. You two get Rory out of here—now. We can’t let him get… you know… turned.

[Ethan and Benny nod, looking at each other as the reality sinks in. They glance back at Rory, who’s swaying slightly, as though entranced by an invisible force.]

Ethan: (nervously) Okay, Sarah. Just… be careful. And if Jesse shows up…

Sarah: (with a slight smile) Don’t worry. I can handle Jesse. Just focus on Rory.

[Sarah melts back into the crowd]
