30 Days of Night: Dark Days Page #2

Synopsis: It has been a year since the isolated Alaskan town of Barrow's population was decimated by vampires during its annual month long sunset. Riddled with grief over the death of her husband Eben, bound by nightmares and void of all emotions beyond hate and sorrow, Stella Oleson has spent the past months traveling the world, trying to convince others that vampires exist. Met with skepticism and laughter, she is ready to throw in the towel when a group of lost souls offers an incredible opportunity: the chance to exact revenge upon Lilith, the vampire queen responsible for the assault on her sleepy Alaskan town. With nothing remaining to live for, and nothing left to fear, Stella joins their mission and ventures into the uncharted underbelly of Los Angeles where she pushes herself to the most extreme limits to stop the evil from striking again.

I heard the window shatter upstairs.

I rushed back to her room.

I saw him.

I saw him there in the window

with her.

He looked back at me.

Those black eyes...

...hollow.

And then she was gone.

Nobody believed me.

Not the police.

Not my wife.

Ex-wife now.

So l kept moving...

...but always listening...

...for a story like mine.

That's how l found Todd

and Amber.

That's how we found you.

Lilith.

You said she orchestrates.

They don't make a move

without her saying so.

Not one move.

Barrow?

Hey, you okay?

Yeah.

Sh*t, man.

I thought we had it bad

back in Bywater.

A lot of desperate people.

It's all right, though.

You know, it was home.

Live just about anywhere when you're

with somebody you care about.

How about you, Stella?

What's it like up there in Barrow?

Cold.

It's a Marine Defender.

There are six in the mag.

You can go ahead and check.

Here.

Bullets only slow them down.

-l know.

-l guess you do.

Oh, sh*t.

All right?

Yeah, l just--

F***er.

I'm good.

F***er.

Sorry.

Sh*t.

Watch your step.

You guys,

we never go this far from the light.

I'm serious.

This isn't how we did it last time.

Amber.

You smell that?

Yeah.

Sh*t.

That's real fresh.

Let's be careful.

They could be close.

This isn't right.

This is a mistake.

This is not how we do things.

-We're too far from the sun.

-This is not the time.

-We're too f***ing--

-Shut up.

-Do it now or we don't do it.

-We need to regroup.

No, this isn't how we do things.

You're gonna get us killed.

You know what? F*** this.

I'm going back.

Amber.

Die!

Behind you, Stella!

F***.

Amber!

Go!

Hold onto me.

Amber!

This way!

Come on, over here.

Go, go, go.

Todd, you okay?

Where did they get you?

What happened?

What have they done?

All right?

Oh, crap!

-lt's okay.

-Kill me.

No.

Todd, you can hold on.

You can hold on, okay?

Hey, Dane held on for years.

You can too.

I can't.

-l can't.

-Yes, you can.

Yes, you can. You can.

Hey, hey.

Hey, hold on.

Will you--? Todd?

I can feel myself...

...slipping away.

No.

Paul.

No!

You know how this works.

Jesus Christ!

I can't. l can't.

You don't have a choice.

Todd.

Do something!

Todd, I'm not gonna do it.

I'm not doing it.

Look at me.

I'm your friend, Todd.

I know you.

Fight it, Todd.

Fight it.

I thought you said you've done this

before.

Never one of our own.

Yeah, well, get used to that.

What are we gonna do?

How are we gonna get out of here?

Fight our way out.

How are we gonna do that?

We're low on ammo.

We're down a man.

Well, what do you suggest?

We wait.

Until dark,

until they go out and hunt.

No, f*** that.

F*** that. l can't stay in here.

I can't.

Can you try not to lose your sh*t

and get another one of us killed?

What?

-What the f***?

-Amber.

What the f*** did you just say?

You think this is my fault?

You think this was my fault!

That what you think?

Well, f*** you. Everything was fine

until you showed up.

You'd be doing me a favor.

F***.

We'll wait till dark.

Are they still out there?

I don't see them.

Wait, Paul.

What the f*** are you do--?

Come on. They've gone to feed.

Nice of you to join us.

I found a way out.

What the f*** are you doing?

Just kill it.

Where's Lilith?

I don't think he heard you.

Did you not hear me?

Where is Lilith?

I told you.

He'll die before he gives her up.

No, please!

No!

Let me go!

Please.

We didn't see nothing.

Open your mouth.

F*** you.

Leave him alone!

No!

Leave him alone!

Please!

No!

Please!

What the f***, you sick b*tch?

You want to get out of here...

...tell me something useful.

There'll be another feast soon.

Where the sun doesn't rise.

How's that for useful?

Tell me what town.

Only the queen knows.

They're planning another siege

during the darkness.

Sun sets in three days.

Don't.

Let him go.

You can use him.

Slow. Slow down or they'll hear us.

There. There he is.

How many you think are in there?

I don't know. Could be lots.

Hey, what do you keep

in that bag of yours?

Just 1 2 pounds of C-4.

Good, then we'll wait till the sun's up.

What--?

--the weather.

There's a bit of sunshine--

Temperatures rising into 70s

for the afternoon...

...but we can expect to see some more

of those rain showers...

...by evening time as another front

moves in from the south.

Outlook for the week continues

to be rather gloomy.

Temperatures cooling down....

So, what do you do

when all this is done?

So if you were planning on going to

the beach anytime soon you might--

I used to feel like finding Lilith

was my endgame.

Like it was the last of my business.

Once we got it done, if I survived...

...l was gonna finally go home...

...put on my robe...

...sit on my porch...

...brew myself up

a nice cup of coffee...

...drink it while the sun come up...

...then blow my f***ing brains out.

But l don't think like that anymore.

What do you think like now?

Like l wanna put this all behind me.

Start over.

They won't come out

if we're near the light.

Then we'll go where it's darker.

Yeah, well, it won't be dark for long.

Guys.

Sh*t.

Are they dead?

-lt's okay.

-Help me, please. Get me out of here.

Calm down. We're gonna help you.

Hold still.

-lt's okay. l know.

-Please.

You gotta be quiet now.

What's your name?

Tell me your name, sweetheart.

-Jennifer. Oh, my God.

-Jennifer.

We're gonna get you out. It's okay.

Can you tell me where they are, huh?

They're everywhere.

-Where's the detonator?

-l don't know.

It's gone.

We're f***ed!

Stay behind me.

There's too many.

Stella!

Oh, f***.

F***ing thumb.

-You all right?

-Yeah, I'm fine.

Be careful. Here, watch your step.

Was she here?

I don't know.

Let's go.

You're okay.

I got you.

You're okay.

It's gonna be all right.

You're safe now.

Okay, ready? On three.

One.

F***!

Sh*t.

Easy, easy, easy.

Joint's gonna be pretty weak.

Could slip out.

-Thanks.

-Okay.

I can do it.

It's okay. I got it.

Where's the girl?

Jennifer? She's sleeping.

We need to find out what she knows.

Yeah, well, she can barely

put two sentences together...

...so let's give her a minute.

All right.

All set.

I haven't felt anything

in a long time...

...except anger.

And that's gotten me this far.

It's Dane.

He's helping them.

I've been trailing them.

I know where they're hiding.

Take care of it.

I'm running out of time.

I want this.

Please.

Show me.

Oh, God. Leave me alone.

Leave me alone!

Oh, God.

You f***ing--

They brought us on a ship...

...with bodies.

So many.

Some of us they took ashore...

...to keep bleeding us.

And Lilith, was she on the ship?

I think.

I don't know. They--

Come on, Jennifer.

I need you to remember. Does sh--?

Maybe don't push too hard, huh?

Can you try to remember?

Does Lilith stay on the ship?

I think so.

Do you remember where it was?

I saw army boats.

Would you recognize it, the ship?

Dane!

-Take her out back.

-Okay. Come on.

Come on. Out the back.
