Act 1
The year 2022
Small Moutain City
A forest on the outskirts of the Little Mountain town near base 51. In the middle of the night on a Friday, snarls, and hisses break the silence. Two students run through the frightened bushes after leaving the school dance. A girl, Anastácia Alerick, and the boy Roger Myer. Something or someone seems to be chasing them.
Anastasia.
Keep running. Do not stop. Do not look back.
Sounds of panting and gasping.
Roger
Damn it, Ane. Did you hear that? But what the hell was that? There is something here that is not human. It cannot be human.
Ane (running and out of breath)
And what does it matter what it was? Did you see my dad's car? Do you want to tell me how I'm going to explain the condition of his car? Were those claws? Forget the damn bright blue eyes. It's a contact lens. Only that.
Roger
They were claws. Can believe. And it is not human. That noise ... Damn it, Ane. When will you believe it...?
Ane gasping and crying as she tries to run.
For the love of God! Give me a break. That does not exist. No animal would have marks like that and ... It could be a mugger. I do not know!
Roger screams with fear. Something passes by them quickly advancing through the vegetation and Ane falls, rolling down the bank.
In the meantime, the subject noise comes back to echo closer to them again. It is a night of a new, dark moon. The first splashes of rain start to fall. Ane's screams grow more and more distant. A blinding flash of light suddenly illuminates the clearing.
Roger
Ane! Ane! Somebody help! Help!
The wind whistles and shrill.
Silence. Nothing but silence. Young Roger is wide-eyed and paralyzed looking at the sky. Without action, he watched his killer. Beyond the treetops, a flying object hangs over the clearing. Intense and blinding lights. The air seems to freeze.
Ane (fallen between vegetation and bruised.)
Roger! Roger! Where you ....?
No answer. The girl let out the last cry when she receives the impact against the body of something huge that could be an animal. There are the sucking noise and the low moans of pain. And another screeching, high-pitched scream from the boy before disappearing into the silence. Something is coming. Or someone ...
Someone
Animal. You know we must not interfere. Nor do we let humans know about our existence. We are just guardians ... Did you have the audacity to try to feed on the girl? You will die for that. Just like that poor boy who couldn't resist his hunger.
Ane struggles to resist awake, ignoring body aches and eyes wide for the newcomer. It is not human. This is the last coherent thought you can think of.
Newcomer
You fool. With all the damn adrenaline that runs in your blood do you intend to become the appetizer for these creatures' dinner? You can smell a trail of fear that leaves for miles.
Ane
-Don't approach. Do not touch me! Help! Roger! ROGER! ANYONE! HELP!
Fighting sound. Breaking branches and angry hisses. Bright blue eyes glimpse the surrounding darkness. And the newcomer raises a strange sword that he brings. The fight begins ... Ane passes out weakly after the attack while the newcomer fights the creature.
