Script Draft 1

         
          EXT. STREET. NIGHT
          KAIRA is walking down a dim, foggy street alone. Footsteps
          become clear as they get closer to her. She ignores them
          completely and keeps heading forward, then her shoulder is
          grabbed to reveal HANS catching his breath.
                              HANS
                    Kaira! Where are you going?
          KAIRA shrugs off his hand and glances over her shoulder at
          him.
                              KAIRA
                    To the carpenter's house. A man
                    told me that the last attack,
                    happened a few months ago.
          KAIRA continues down the road, with HANS keeping close lead
          on her, trying to get her attention again.
                              HANS
                    And why are you going there? It's
                    dangerous!
                              KAIRA
                    Yeh, I don't care. This type of
                    thing interests me.
          They approach an old abandoned house. It's in bad shape, but
          the door still seems to be in tact. Kaira proceeds to the
          door whiles HANS hangs back near the small gate at the end
          of the pathway.
                              HANS
                    Kaira, come back to the carriage
                    with everyone else where it's safe
                    ... don't go in there!
          KAIRA pushes the door open and peers about inside the house.
                              KAIRA
                    Don't be a wuss.
          Without hesitating, she walks into the darkness, HANS edges
          closer to the door but doesn't stand an arms length close to
          it.
          INT. BAR. NIGHT.
          VULRICH and M.M are in a humbly lit tavern. VULRICH is
          sitting at the bar, closest to the bar tender, JOHAN, while
          M.M is on the other side with a shot of whiskey. JOHAN has a
          bottle near him and is cleaning the side down with a rag.
                              VULRICH
                    Excuse me sir, but can ye tell me a
                    bit about what's goin' on arund
                    'ere?
          OHAN looks away from VULRICH and mumbles something inaudible
          under his breath.
                              VULRICH
                    ay?
                              JOHAN
                    There's nothing going on ound here,
                    everything' fine. Nothings wrong.
                              VULRICH
                    But people 'av been dissapearin'.
                    What's 'appenin' 'ere?
                              JOHAN
                    Nothings happening, everything's
                    fine, nothing's wrong, now stop
                    talking about it.
                              VULARICH
                    Apparently there's some sort a
                    monster doin' this? Do ya know
                    anythin' 'bout it?
                              JOHAN
                    Don't talk about 'them'! Stop
                    mentioning it, nothings wrong!
                              VULRICH
                    'Them'? Who are 'they'?
                              JOHAN
                    Stop talking about 'them' you're
                    not allowed to talk about'them'
                    don't ask any questions, you're
                    ruining business!
                              VULRICH
                    But, who are 'they'?
          JOHAN takes the bottle near him and smashes it on the
          counter, creating a weapon from it. He points it in
          VULRICH'S direction, threatening him.
                              JOHAN
                    I told you, don't ask questions
                    about 'them', you can't know about
                    'them', they'll hear you! They'll
                    come, stop talking about them,
                    stupid outsiders, you're ruining
                    business, everything was fine until
                    you showed up!
          JOHAN swings the bottle aimlessly at VULRICH and catches his
          cheek. VULRICH returns a punch, causing the bottle to be
          dropped,  and pulls JOHAN over the bar. JOHAN tries to
          struggle out of his grasp and breaks free, looking to
          reclaim his lost weapon. M.M throws his shot glass at JOHAN,
          who pays no attention to the action and focuses his
          attention on the main threat. As he nears VULRICH with his
          reclaimed bottle, M.M comes up behind him and knocks him
          down, tying him up with rope from his bag as he does.
          INT. HOUSE. NIGHT.
          KAIRA looks around the bare room, seeing splinters covering
          the walls. She ignores them for the most part but notices
          some scratches on the floor with some dried blood by them.
                              KAIRA
                    Hand, Hans! Come look at this ...
                    it looks like he was forcefully
                    dragged out of here...
          Hans sighs and takes a look around outside and what he can
          see from the door inside before retrieving an arrow from his
          bag and digging it in front of the door.
                              HANS
                    Let me see.
          While he kneels down to inspect the marks, KAIRA wonders
          towards the stairs curiously peering up them.
                              HANS
                    Hmm, nothing seems to be odd about
                    his blood .. Kaira, don't you go up
                    there alone! We have to stick
                    together!
          KAIRA shrugs and heads up the stairs despite HANS comment.
          Theres barely anything upstairs either, all the furniture
          has been destroyed. HANS finished looking at the scratches
          and blood before hearing a thud from upstairs. It's
          accompanied with a high pitched scream. He jolts up at this
          point.
                              HANS
                    Kaira... Kaira?!
          Hans rushed up to see Kaira laughing. She looks as innocent
          as possible as his face begins to retort in rage.
                              KAIRA
                    Good day.
                              HANS
                    You annoying little girl!
          The wind begins to pick up, and the pair hear a creaking
          from downstairs. The pair pick up on this and freeze
          momentarily.
                              KAIRA
                    It's probably just the wind, the
                    door is rather old. It'll probably
                    get blown about a bit.
                              HANS
                    I put an arrow in front of it to
                    serve as a doorstop, it shouldn't
                    be creaking this much.
          As Kaira opens her mouth to respond there’s a crash, like a
          door slamming, and a small squeal leaves her mouth instead.
          She shuts her mouth instantly as a scraping noise begins
          downstairs. The scraping continues until a loud thud plunges
          the two into silence once again.
                              KAIRA
                         (whispers)
                    What do you think that was?
                              HANS
                         (whispers)
                    How am i supposed to know? I told
                    you not to come up here!
                              KAIRA
                         (whispers)
                    I was curious, and it's not my
                    fault! This place has been
                    abandoned for months!
          The wind picks up once again and the splinters on the wall
          begin to shake a little.
          INT. BAR. NIGHT.
          JOHAN is tied up with VULRICH questioning him. M.M is back
          by the bar with another shot, listening in on the
          conversation.
                              JOHAN
                    No! Stupid outsiders, you're
                    ruining everything, everything was
                    fine before you showed up, you're
                    ruining business, none of the other
                    customers are like this, stop
                    asking quiestions,you can't ask
                    questions!
                              VULRICH
                    Just tell us what's going on
                    already!
                              JOHAN
                    They can hear you, they'll know,
                    they'll come here. Stop asking
                    questions. They'll leave me alone
                    if i don't talk about them. I don't
                    want them to come. You're all the
                    same, you stupid outsiders!
          M.M seems to have a thought as he leaves the bar, realising
          none of the customers reacted to their earlier brawl. He
          tips one over in their chair, they fall with it not moving.
          Vulrich watches as this happens while Johan continues
          rocking slightly under the pressure.
                              M.M
                    What's up with this?
                              JOHAN
                    None of the other customers are
                    like you, their all good, they
                    don't ask questions. Their not bad
                    for business, not like you
                    outsiders. Supid outsiders!
          M.M leans in closer to the body and cuts off the supposed
          man's head to find it's stuffed.
                              M.M
                    There's something really messed up
                    about this village...
          INT. HOUSE. NIGHT.
          KAIRA and HANS are crouched down upstairs by an old blocked
          off window.
                              KAIRA
                         (whispers)
                    Lets just make a run for the door.
                              HANS
                         (whispers)
                    No, I am not going down there! If
                    your so brave, why don't you go?
                              KAIRA
                         (whispers)
                    Fine!
          With a huff, KAIRA stands up and proceeds slowly to the
          stairs. She takes a breath before peering down. There’s a
          reclining circle carved into the floor with the arrow stuck
          in the centre of it. The wind is still picking up, and a
          strange noise can be heard very faintly bellow it. KAIRA
          slowly makes her way down the stairs, then avoiding treading
          on the spiral, makes her way for the door. She struggles to
          open the door, as some unseen force is keeping it closed.
          She tries to force it, but it won’t budge. A soft crash
          resonates from upstairs, as a strange screeching noise
          begins and the wind picks up dramatically. KAIRA turns
          slowly to seen an ungodly sight.
          EXT. STREET. NIGHT.
          The scene cuts away from KAIRA and her distress and focuses
          on the foggy street slowly zooming away from the commotion
          of Havenheath.
                              JOHAN
                         (V.O)
                    Stupid outsiders, you have no clue
                    what's going on. You don't know
                    anything. Don't ask questions. They
                    were gone until you came back, you
                    don't know what you've done. You've
                    ruined everything. You all talk
                    about 'them', you're all the same.
                    All of you!
