PAGE 3

PANEL 1
Long panel. Joseph, trying to see who’s there. Shadows seem to be moving behind him, but they’re indistinct.

JOSEPH Who’s there? I can hear ya breathin’.
PANEL 2 Joseph, leaning in to some nearby shrubs, mistaking them for a person. The shadow is more distinct now, looking like a man in silhouette.
JOSEPH Aw come on out. Maybe you got a little bust-head on ya?
PANEL 3 Joseph, pulling back from the bushes. The shadow is tighter, as if materializing into a human form. It’s a powerful man, long hair, handsome features.
JOSEPH Hmmph.
PANEL 4 The man materializing behind Joseph reaches two arms out, as if to seize him. His mouth is open, revealing long fangs glinting in the moonlight. There’s something savage about him, even in his noble human form. Keep most of him in shadow, don’t want a full reveal, but convey as much information as you can with him in the dark. This, by the way, is RAPHAEL GUZMAN de MEDINA, who we’ll see a lot of later on.
JOSEPH You be like that. I can get my own solace.
PANEL 5 Pull back, long shot on the scrubland in the moonlight.
JOSEPH Hey!

JOSEPH
AAAAHHHH…*
