FADE IN:
EXT. NIGHT - AN ALLEY
Rather tidy - probably not a slum-ish part of the city, but well stocked with pallets and garbage bins.
SAYID (O.S)
I'm telling you. Everything is different now...

CUT TO:
EXT. NIGHT - SAME ALLEY
TRACK around a corner, see SAYID and WENDEL walking. Young 20s, dressed slightly to the wrong side of nerd-chic.
WENDEL
How is it different? It was horribly tragic, yes. But you survived. The world moves on!
SAYID
(self absorbed; looking at own hands)
People look at me different now! You think I can ever fly on a plane again?
WENDEL
(not walking)
Sayid?
SAYID
(oblivious)
I mean... geez... when the guys from Living Greyhawk found out...
WENDEL
(louder)
Sayid!
SAYID
(wearily, turning)
What?

CUT TO:
ANGLE: WENDEL'S POV
The alley ahead is littered with body parts - maybe three dismembered humans. Pallets and garbage bins are overturned and smashed, yet strangely, almost no blood.
SAYID
(nervous)
What the -

What the -
A growl issues from behind a garbage bin.
CLOSE UP: A leather boots step into view, framing Sayid and Wendel.
SAYID
(stammering)
Oh... Hi... Didn't realize this place was... uh... occupied...
(stammering)
Oh... Hi... Didn't realize this place was... uh... occupied...
CLOSE UP: A hand fidgeting with a dirt-streaked, but bloodless, kukri.
ANGLE: SAYID'S POV
A figure stands in the shadows, only boots and kukri visible.
CUT TO:
ANGLE: THE ALLEY FROM ABOVE
Sayid and Wendel are slowly backing up, while the shadowy figure advances.
SAYID
Nice... uh... nice knife... Indian? It's... uh... it's a kukri... right?
WENDEL
Don't... don't patronize the scary man, Sayid.

WENDEL
Don't... don't patronize the scary man, Sayid.
ANGLE - UP ALLEY - LOOKING FROM BEHIND SAYID AND WENDEL
The figure raises the blade to his face, and light reflects off the blade and some shiny, just revealed, fangs.
FIGURE
Blade's not right. But the blade is here. It speaks to me. They want release. I can feel it in my bones.
SAYID
Ok... your bones are very truthful. I... I have a good feeling about your bones. They're very believable.
WENDEL
(eyes shut, to himself)
Please be a larper... please be a larper... please...

ANGLE: DOWN ALLEY - LOOKING FROM BEHIND THE FIGURE
The figure stops walking, and stares at his kukri.
FIGURE
Still searching. Have to find the bone. Finish the blade.
Still searching. Have to find the bone. Finish the blade.
ANGLE: SAYID'S POV
Figure steps out of shadow. Yeah, it's a vampire. Biker-ish leathers, straw white hair - not bleached.
FIGURE
Find the bone. Finish the blade.
Find the bone. Finish the blade.
ANGLE: SAYID AND WENDEL
Sayid is backing up, while Wendel remains freaked out, clenching his eyes shut.
SAYID
We... we don't have any bones. Well, we do, but not your bone. No bones! Ok, I'm going to stop talking now...
We... we don't have any bones. Well, we do, but not your bone. No bones! Ok, I'm going to stop talking now...
Suddenly, the vamp lunges, knocking Sayid aside into a stack of pallets.
CUT TO:
CLOSE UP: Wendel and vamp.
Vamp glomps onto Wendel, as the young man screams wordlessly until
BLACKOUT

ACT 1
EXT. DAY - WATERLOO UNIVERSITY CAMPUS
Rather busy - students, faculty, staff, and visitors milling about. A vague hush in the air, as people discuss and react to the news of a brutal spree killing the night before only a few blocks from campus - four bodies killed and strewn about an alley, just off one of the main drags. Although omitted from initial reports, rumor swirls about a message scraped into the wall near the bodies - "Find the bone. Finish the blade."
