It was 7.30PM and Marko was putting on a leather jacket and about to leave the house.
He planned to meet Christine at 8 on the boardwalk by the carousel, he had packed a small backpack with some garlic and he brought two pieces of wood to shape a cross. He was nervous and a bit scared, was David a vampire? No, impossible!, but Christine sounded so sincere, Marko kept his mind open on the whole thing as he went to head outside.
Susan saw him walking to the front door; she was sitting on the couch in the living room watching the news.
She looked a bit worried and Marko walked over to see the news report.
Reporter: It is a shocking and disturbing scene here in the township of Santa Carla; two bodies have been found in the park by the mall, the two people here, one male and one female both in their 20's have been savagely attacked by what seems to be some kind of animal, with bite and scratch marks all over their bodies, we will bring you more on this strange case as it develops
Susan switched off the TV and looked at Marko; he knew what she was going to say
Susan: I can't have you going out there Marko
Marko: Mom, c'mon!
Susan: Didn't you hear that! What if that animal gets you next, huh?
Marko: I have my bike, I'll be fine, please I gotta go its important
Susan: Just because you are on your bike doesn't mean something won't happen to you! I couldn't live with myself if something did
Marko: Mum, it's that girl, my uh girlfriend, it's really important!
Marko hoped by saying Christine was his girlfriend she would let him out
Susan stood up and held Marko's shoulders
Susan: Marko, you're my son and I couldn't bare to lose you, I can't let you go until that thing has been found and stopped, you must understand, do you have the girl's number?
Marko: No
Marko looked down disappointed; he thought of ways to sneak out, he had to be there! For David's sake
It was almost 8PM and Christine walked up to the boardwalk, she looked around for Marko as she was scared that David, Jerry and Max may be here, watching her.
She was decked out in tight jeans, heels, black jacket with a Kiss T-shirt underneath and she wore a pink headband that sat on her forehead with her long brown hair flowing out.
Christine stood by the carousel and looked at her watch a lot; she was really nervous and didn't stop looking around for Marko.
Marko went back to his room and noticed he could easily sneak out his window, he closed his door and put on his Def Leppard record on so it was loud enough to drown out the sound of him sneaking out, and it would made his mother think he was in his room listening to it.
Marko climbed out his window and snuck around to his bike, he wheeled it slowly to the road and far enough away from his house so his mother couldn't hear the engine, he started up his bike and headed for the boardwalk.
That was the last time his mother ever saw him…
It was ten past 8 and Christine was getting more nervous by the minute, where's Marko?
She heard the sound of a motorbike in the distance and followed it to see Marko dismounting his bike.
Christine: Marko! What kept you!
Marko: Sorry! My mother saw the story on the news, you see it?
Christine: No, what was it?
Marko: Two murders in the park by the mall, biting and scratching, they say it was an animal.
Christine: Wrong, it was those vampires!
Marko still looked unbelieving, he couldn't help it
Marko: or the vampires
Christine: You'll believe me soon enough, when you see them! And David
Marko: I uh, got some garlic and wood to form a cross see
Marko held the wood together to form a cross
Christine: Good work! I got some water blessed and a stake
She held them out
Marko: I see, ok so what's the plan?
Christine: We wait and look
Marko: Whatever you say
Christine walked over to the band stage and Marko followed, as he was walking he saw I quick glimpse of David in the crowd, he looked a little menacing, like the vampire side had already taken him over
Marko: (Calling) Christine!
Christine turned
Christine: What is it?
Marko: David, I saw him
Christine: Where?
Marko: Over there in the crowd
Marko pointed
Christine: Lets go!
Christine headed in that direction
Marko: No, no wait!
Marko caught up with her
Marko: he looked at me, with like hate you know, he didn't look himself
Christine: It must have took him over
Marko: What?
Christine: The vampirism, the bloodlust, we must find Jerry
Marko: Jerry?
Christine: The leader the one who turned him, we have to kill him and maybe David might turn back
Marko: Well, lead the way
Marko couldn't believe he was doing this, but he gave in and followed Christine, who was all gung-ho to save David and kill Jerry and Max
They headed into the crowd when suddenly Christine was flung back and knocked into a guitarist for a metal band who was about to head onstage
Guitarist: ah fuck!
He looked down to see Christine laying on him
Guitarist, well, hello!
Christine grunted and got up and looked over to see Jerry in front of her
Guitarist: hey what happened there, I'm Paul by the way
He held out his hand but Christine was looking away from him and at Jerry
Marko ran up and stood beside Christine
Marko: That him?
Christine nodded
Jerry: I told you I'd find you girl, didn't I?
Marko: Hey back off man! Where's David?
Jerry chuckled
Jerry: With his family, you must be Marko I presume
Marko: What did you do to him man?
Marko had an aggressive tone now
Jerry: Made him forever, that's all; in fact you can see him if you like
Marko: I saw him around here before, bring him out
Jerry: I'll take you to him he is over there, come on
Marko started to go and Christine grabbed his arm
Christine: Don't
Marko: I'll find him, don't worry
Marko was under Jerry's vampire charms and he followed him into the crowd
Paul: Hey you ok
Paul looked at Christine
Christine: No, but I need some help
Paul thought he might have a chance with Christine so he went with her into the crowd after Marko, he forgot about the band and just wanted to get into Christine's pants
Paul: so who was that guy?
Christine: A vampire
Christine didn't care if he thought she was nuts
Paul laughed
Paul: Yeah, right
He went along with it and they went further down the boardwalk looking for Marko and Jerry.
