The title slowly fades in through the frozen still picture of a Priest leaning against a balcony, looking stricken with fright. This mid-shot, over-the-shoulder picture has a vampire on the left side of the shot, and is looking determined to accomplish some deadly task. As the title dissolves out, the scene comes into motion, and you can depict the vampire rushing towards the priest, with no guilt or smirks laid upon his face. He has a straight face - He has one task, and he is going to complete it. The priest is looking to try to escape, we sense from his body language he his panicking and is acting as he has no where to run. His arms appear to be leaning on the balcony, tensed with fear, while his eyes are looking straight at the vampire's vicious face. As the vampire advances towards him, we can hear the priests breathing pace increase dramatically - Appreciating each gasp of air he has left to breath. The vampire is moving towards the priest like a lion hunting a deer, and all you hear is the combination of creeky floor board and the priests breathing. Suddenly, we hear a large drum beat - only one. As soon as this occurs, the screen turns black.
Now the screen zooms onto the Vampires face, you see him from the priests point of view, and this emphasis the idea of him being much larger and domineering than the Priest. A light is shining onto the vampires face, creating shadows and making him seem much more villainous than the previous scene. Once again, he has a straight face with no signs of pleasure, or discomfort on his face. The scene is silent, and all that is depicted is the hollowing wind, whistling through the church windows that are in the background. The wind is slightly blowing the vampires hair, and while this is happening you can hear a slight mumble coming from the Priest. All you now hear is the Priest say quietly, "One...Two... Three...".
The scene quickly cuts onto the next clip, and you can identify the Priest still leaning on the balcony, while the vampire is lurking towards him menacingly. The scene has zoomed out and this makes the characters seem to be on the right side of the screen. Once the Priest has said the world "Three", he shoots across the balcony, dashing for his life. You see him dragging his legs across the floor, trying to run away from the vampires gaze. You hear loud and fast footsteps, and as you see the priest running across the balcony, the vampire is only walking slowly towards him. During this time, the camera is still continuously panning to the left, following the priests desperate steps to freedom.
All of a sudden you hear the vampire say in a deep voice, "Let's go", and he runs at an in-human speed and lunges onto the priest - flinging him off the balcony and slamming onto the alter beneath the balcony. You can hear the gigantic smashing noise of the alter collapsing and the contents on the table flying to the ground. From the items on the table, you hear metal clashing and along with you hear the breaking of two or three bones. As the Priest starts to recover from his fall, he leans on his elbows, trying to stand straight and all becomes quiet and still. Three seconds into the silence the vampire launches onto the Priest, with a snarl on his face, red eyes beaming with hunger. You hear shrieking from the priest, and during this the camera zooms outwards in a slow and haunting manner. The shrieking slowly fades out, and becomes just another howl in the wind. The Vampire stands up (the camera is still zooming out), and wipes is mouth with blood covering is mouth and hands. The camera then goes to a high angle shot, where you can see the statue of Jesus on the cross. Below this is the priest, laying lifeless among the bloody objects on the table. The vampire is gone, and once again, all you can hear is the howling of the wind.
THE END.
