WOLVES WITHIN WALLS
WOLVES WITHIN WALLS
“Title: WOLVES WITHIN WALLS Genre: WEREWOLF / URBAN CENTERED/ LEGENDS AND MYTHS --- I. Introduction Zara: A quiet but fiercely intelligent woman who just moved into a luxury high-rise on the 23rd floor. She's recovering from a traumatic past and trying to start over. Lucien: Mysterious, charming, and intimidating. He lives in the penthouse. No one knows much about him-he's rumored to own the building or have dangerous connections. Setting: The building itself feels alive-glitches, flickering lights, strange sounds in the walls, and neighbors who vanish. --- II. Inciting Incident Zara encounters Lucien in the elevator. He's cold but intrigued by her presence. A strange event occurs-Zara hears scratches from the 25th floor, which supposedly doesn't exist. Lucien warns her not to ask questions. --- III. Rising Action Zara starts receiving cryptic messages and experiencing lucid dreams where Lucien appears. She begins to suspect Lucien is hiding something-he's connected to the building's secrets. Despite herself, she's drawn to him-and he to her. She uncovers old news articles about disappearances, all residents of the 25th or higher. Zara witnesses something inhuman in Lucien during a blackout-glowing eyes, a guttural growl. --- IV. Climax Zara learns the building is a sanctuary-or prison-for supernatural beings, and Lucien is its reluctant guardian. Her arrival triggered an old prophecy. She's not just a tenant-she's the key to opening a sealed dimension within the walls. Lucien is torn: protect her or fulfill his role and sacrifice her to maintain the balance. --- V. Falling Action Zara refuses to be a pawn. She digs deeper into her past and learns her bloodline is tied to the 25th floor's original architect-a man who went mad building a gateway between worlds. Together, Zara and Lucien confront the entity trapped inside the wall. A showdown ensues: betrayal, confessions, and a forbidden kiss amidst chaos. --- VI. Resolution The balance is restored-but at a cost. Lucien vanishes or is trapped behind the wall. Zara stays in the building, now changed-stronger, more powerful, and connected to its secrets. A final scene hints Lucien may still be watching-or waiting to return.”
