Jett runs past the church pews toward the altar. We see the large, gold cross to the front. She jumps onto the altar, snatches the cross, and spins while on top of the altar. The creature squeals from the doorway and looks around with agitation and fear. Jett looks back to her surroundings.
JETT
(soft/surprise)
He can't cross into the church--
Jett slowly climbs down from the altar and walks toward the back doors with her three foot cross in her hands. The creature squeals with panic and runs away. Jett pauses halfway down the aisle and falls to her knees with a sob.
JETT
Oh, Max--please have gotten away.
INT. LOUNGE
Davis, Rob, Collin, Shelly, and Rita back away from the bolted and braced door. We hear the creature wheezing from the opposite end. There's a tremendous vibration as it strikes the door. Shelly cries out with fright.
ROB
(to Davis)
It's going to break down the door.
Davis retrieves the two sharpened swords and hands one to Rob.
DAVIS
We'll kill it if we have too.
COLLIN
(sobering)
Those won't work against a vampire.
(looks around)
We need to get out of here.
DAVIS
(angry)
And go where? If it gets through this door, it'll get through all the doors.
COLLIN
(concern)
We're not safe here.
(pause)
We should go to the chapel. It may not be able to enter.
RITA
The chapel is down a level and clear on the other side of the ship. What if it
doesn't work?
COLLIN
(excited)
We're going to die if we stay here!
DAVIS
(angry)
Shut up!
ROB
(concern)
I think he's right. We're not safe here.
DAVIS
Counting on myth is suicide.
The door vibrates with a crash and dents.
COLLIN
He's stronger then yesterday. He's going to come through that door.
Shelly begins to wail hysterically.
DAVIS
(grabs Collin)
Sit down and shut up!
The door vibrates and puckers away from the frame.
ROB
Holy shit! We have to go, Davis! Anything that can do that to a door will
cut through us like butter!
COLLIN
Once it gets inside, we won't have time to remove the barricade from the other door.
Collin backs up to the open, dividing door.
COLLIN
We have to go--now!
Rob looks from the door to Collin. He runs after Collin, motioning both women along.
RITA
Are you insane? Where are we going?
