Script draft 2

          EXT. STREET. NIGHT
          FOG fills the screen, allowing the audience to see a distant
          figure walking away from the camera. The camera passes
          through the fog gradually getting closer to the unknown
          figure. Once the fog clears we see it's a young woman
          dressed in red with long dark hair. Her face is never seen,
          but footsteps become apparant. They get faster and louder as
          the sound approaches her. A hand grabs her shoulder, at this
          the girl turns around showing an unamused look on her face.
          We see a man panting from the run.
                              HANS
                    Kaira! Where are you going?
          KAIRA shrugs off his hand and turns slightly to look at him.
                              KAIRA
                    I'm looking for a house. I read in
                    an article a while back about an
                    occurrence that happened in this
                    village...
          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
                    could be dangerous!
                              KAIRA
                    That doesn't bother me. There's
                    just something about that story
                    that caught my interest. I feel
                    like i have no choice but to
                    investiagte it more.
                              HANS
                    We shouldn't even be here, come
                    back to the carriage so we can get
                    back on course.
          KAIRA continues ignoring HANS and his suspicions.
          INT. BAR. NIGHT.
          VULRICH and M.M are in a humbly lit, empty tavern. M.M is
          off to the side sitting on his own with a shot of whiskey.
          VULRICH sits at the bar by JOHAN, who is cleaning the side
          down with a rag.
                              VULRICH
                    Excuse me sir, but can ya tell me a
                    bit about what's goin' on around
                    'ere?
          JOHAN ignores him and continues cleaning.
                              VULRICH
                    Aye, Sir? Our carriage went missin'
                    and we've been 'earin strange
                    things, could ya shed some light on
                    this?
          JOHAN looks away from VULRICH and mumbles something
          inaudible under his breath.
                              VULRICH
                    Ay?
                              JOHAN
                    There's nothing going on around
                    here, everythin's fine. Nothings
                    wrong.
                              VULRICH
                    We been told people 'av been
                    diassappearin'. Out carriage 'as
                    also. What's 'appening' 'ere?
                              JOHAN
                    Nothings happening.
          EXT. STREET. NIGHT.
          KAIRA is closing in on a run down house, nearing the door.
                              JOHAN
                         (V.O CONT'D)
                    Everything's fine, nothings wrong.
          INT. BAR. NIGHT.
                              JOHAN
                         (CONT'D)
                    Now stop talking about it.
                              VULRICH
                    Apparently there's some sort a
                    creature doin' this? Do ya know
                    anythin' 'bout it?
                              JOHAN
                    Don't talk about 'them'!
          EXT. STREET. NIGHT.
          KAIRA reaches her hand out to open the door, HANS at a safe
          distance away.
                              JOHAN
                         (V.O CONT'D)
                    Stop mentioning it, nothings wrong!
                              VULRICH
                         (V.O)
                    'Them'?
          INT. BAR. NIGHT.
                              VULRICH
                    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...
          EXT. STREET. NIGHT.
          KAIRA pushes open the door, seeing nothing but a bare room
          and darkness.
                              VULRICH
                         (V.O CONT'D)
                    Who are 'they'?
          INT. BAR. NIGHT.
          JOHAN takes a near empty bottle near him and smaches 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'.
          INT. HOUSE. NIGHT
          KAIRA enters the house, spotting odd marks on the floor and
          a blood stain.
                              KAIRA
                    What's this? Hans, come look at
                    this.
                              JOHAN
                         (V.O CONT'D)
                    They'll hear you.
          HANS sighs and slowly enters the house, kneeling down and
          inspecting what KAIRA found. KAIRA idly wonders around,
          noticing a set of stairs and wonders over to them.
                              HANS
                    Kaira, don't go up there alone!
          KAIRA shrugs and turns her back to the stairs, HANS focuses
          on the blood once again. Once he's focused KAIRA once again
          faces the stairs and makes her way up them. Hans stays
          focused on the blood and marks, untill a a high pitches
          scream and a thud comes from upstairs.
                              JOHAN
                         (V.O CONT'D)
                    They'll come.
                              HANS
                    Kaira.... Kaira?!
          HANS rushes up the stairs to see KAIRA laughing. She looks
          as innocent as possible as HANS' face begins to retort with
          rage.
                              KAIRA
                    Good evening.
                              HANS
                    You annoying little girl!
                              JOHAN
                         (V.O CONT'D)
                    Stupid outsiders.
          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 teh two
          into silence once again.
                              JOHAN
                         (V.O CONT'D)
                    Everything was fine until you
                    showed up!
          INT. BAR. NIGHT.
          JOHAN swings the bottle aimlessly at VULRICH, who backs off
          avoiding it easily. VULRICH smacks the bottle away from
          JOHANS hand. JOHAN doesn't falter and he climbs over the bar
          to get a better reach at VULRICH. VULRICH grabs him as he
          climbs down, JOHAN struggling to break free before finaly
          regaining his freedom, looking for a new make shift weapon.
          M.M throws his shot glass at JOHANs body, but he's ignored -
          JOHAN stays focused on VULRICH, the main threat. As he nears
          VULRICH, M.M comes up and takes him down, tying him up with
          rope from his bag as he does.
          INT. HOUSE. NIGHT.
          KAIRA and HANS are crouched on the floor silent and waiting.
                              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 some odd splinters and
          scraps of wood 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,stop asking
                    questions,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 takes a sip from his shot.
                              M.M
                    Where did Kaira and Hans go?
          VULRICH looks up, now pondering the same thing, looking
          slightly worried. JOHAN continues to rock back and forth,
          muttering to himself, he looks petrified, as if he knows
          something.
          INT. HOUSE. NIGHT.
          The pair are still crouched upstairs, unmoving.
                              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. 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.
          Over KAIRAS shoulder a horrific creature can be seen.
          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!
