Seth emerges from the bathroom about twenty minutes later. Jonny is sitting close to the TV set the volume on low. Valec remains is his calm, self sedated state. Seth feels Valec brow and wipes his hand with his handkerchief. Seth approaches his son.

Seth- “I thought I said watch him”

Jonny-- “(Eyes fixed on the TV) I did for a second then I realised if he did wake up there's nothing I can do so I thought, just let him get on with it”

Seth looks sternly at his son but then breaks into a smile

Seth-- “Kids these days……can’t beat em so join em”

Seth pulls up a chair and watches the TV with his son.

Jonny- “Did you trying reaching Phoenix?”

Seth- -“Yeah but there’s no signal in this wasteland”

Seth and Jonny sit, the light of the TV flickering on their eyes. In the background Valec begins to stir and mumble to him self. Jonny and Seth both look over to him.

Jonny- “He ok?”

Seth-- “Fevers god him pretty bad”

Jonny- “Who’s he talking to”

Seth-- “Whoever listening”

Seth and Jonny continue to watch the TV while Valec speaks quietly, as he were the only one in the room

We zoom the action into the background.. Valec sits, his arms resting on his knees, his back against the wall and his head hanging low. Stands of his mat black hair clump and stick to his forehead. His skin is burning to the touch, the bloodlust fever in full swing irritating his entire body. Inside and out.

Valec- “Its strange, I have craved blood all my life but never until this moment craved the blood of a single soul. I have needed blood to sustain who I am, yet I have never needed the blood of one person to do so, until now. Pakelika!!! Are you listening. I may at this moment be shell of my usual self but soon my fever will pass and my bloodlust subdued. But will my thirst have been quenched….no. There will still be that itch, the feeling that you need only one more drop for the thirst is dissipate and yet with every swallow the void remains unfilled. However I already know what I need to rid myself of this feeling of emptiness. This Thursday, your blood will fill that void, you blood will make me complete as I take back from you what you took from me. (Valec swallows hard) I may bleed myself on Thursday, these wounds you bestowed on me may once again reopened so once again blood can be spilt. You can attempt that if you wish but just remember that every drop I lose, I reclaim. (Valec coughs and swallows hard again, his words beginning to irritate his dry throat). I once envied people like you Pakelika, people who were normal, people who lived their life by choice; it was the one thing I wanted. You got to choose your path one road at a time, where I was thrown on Highway from hell, no map, no brakes ad this demonic condition as baggage. Day by day I lived, if you can call that. It more like existence than life, an animal living of instincts alone, survival the highest priority. It made me sick to the stomach to know I had to ingest bloods that my entire well being depended on it. Can you imagine how it made me feel when I drank for the first time? I felt like a monster, and animal a spawn of hell itself, then I looked in the mirror and realised that’s exactly what I am so why hide from it. And so I was born. From that moment every drop of blood tasted just as sweet as the next. I knew who I was and from then on I ceased existing and began living. You can never understand that fully Pakelika, no living soul can. But this Thursday, you will get to know me a little better and maybe then you will be able to understand slightly what I am………………….and then wish you hadn’t.”

Valec’s inner monologue continues to speak aloud. Seth has turned to face him and listen to his word while Jonny has remained transfixed on the television screen. Valec’s self control seems to be controlling his urges for the moment but his temperature still increases and another outburst of rage is imminent.

Jonny- “What the…Dad look at this”

Seth turns his attention back to the screen as Jonny turns up the volume

News Reporter. -“…………………….police are baffled at the attack that happened in the Holy Rosemary church in downtown, yesterday evening. The victim, undisclosed for legal reason was wanted in connection with a fatal shooting at a nearby nite club. Colin Wrede is at the Holy Rosemary…..Colin.”

Colin- “Thanks Jane, yesterday evening it is believed that the victim came into he church to escape law enforcement however during confession if you will, he was attacked by an unidentified person. The extent of his injuries have not been released only the fact that he is in stable yet serious condition.”

Jane- “Colin, it has been reported that this can be seen as a vigilante attack due the victims involvement in a shooting earlier that night.

Colin- “Yes two witnesses to these men have been questions by authorities but no information has been discovered, we did get however of unconfirmed description of the attacker who was said to be of average height with a strong muscular tone, a facial description impossible due to the presence of a hooded robe, if you will.

(Jonny and Seth look at each other, they both know who the unidentified vigilante is)

“There are also reports of an accomplice who was not directly involved in the attack, his description is that of a giant.”

Jonny and Seth turn and look over at Valec who has awoken from his feverish state and is fixed on the TV laughing intently

“Reuters are reporting that the many people are calling this a somewhat indirect act of God.”

Jane- “Colin, thankyou. And we will have more on that story later. In other news…………………….”

Seth turns the TV set off and stands to stretch. Valec however is not pleased at this and his explosive temperament goes nuclear. Valec throws himself to his feet, turning the dresser over in the process.

Seth- “Go it’s always the small thing that set him off”

Jonny quickly turns the TV back on but this is no use and it serves only as another needle in Valec’s mind. Valec grabs the TV set and throws it to the floor before driving his huge foot through the screen.

Seth- “Valec, come on buddy you were doing so well……..Just a little while longer ok…can you do that for me.?”

Valec picks up the shattered remains of the TV and throws it in Seth’s direction. Upon throwing, shards of the Tv screen slice their way into Valec’s palm. Valec notices the welts begin to drip with crimson fluid. Valec strands deadly still breathing irrationally as he watches the pour drop from his hand to the floor. Seth slowly approaches him. Valec remains in a hypnotic stance as more blood begins to spill.

Seth- “Come on Valec, just a few minutes.”

Valec quickly becomes sour again and howls in anger……………….as the sound of screeching tyres can be heard outdoors. The roar of the engine echoes in Valec head as he clasps his hands over his ears. The motel door flies open, Blake and Phoenix appear scanning around the room’s destruction. Valec charges at them both but Seth and Jonny tackle him down. Phoenix helps subdue Valec’s uprising as Blake takes out two large clear bottles of scarlet liquid. Valec’s eyes blacken as they lock with vessels of blood. He calms his aggression as the others release him. He takes a brief moment o stare into the deep red colour before snatching the bottle and heading into the bathroom. The rest of the mercenaries collapse onto the beds in exhaustion.

Phoenix- “Looks like we missed a hell of a party”

Jonny- “Oh yeah we had a hoot……………where the hell did you go? Across the state line?

Blake- There weren’t exactly any blood banks open for business, you know”

Phoenix- “Yeah so genius here decides to break in to a butcher’s store in town.”

Blake- “I didn’t see you with any ideas………………”

Seth- “Gentlemen please. At least we got the big guy to calm down until his next feed
, so lets get some rest. Oh and Leon, we have to talk about your nocturnal activities.”


The mercenaries joke on in the other room, as Valec sits in the bathroom quenching his bloodlust with his fresh supply of what must cows blood. He looks into the mirror as he finishes the bottle.

Valec- “Pakelika…………..I’m still thirsty”

The events of the night close with those words and Valec staring deeply into his own refection.
