By night, I protect my village from evil. I’m a hunter with a cause.

EXT. VILLAGE STREETS-NIGHT
PETER (V.O.)
I am on a holy war. Every night my village is infested with demons. I hunt them.
SFX: Woman screams
Scout reacts first and barks to signal Peter. Peter hears the sound of the woman screaming to and jumps off the rooftop.
Peter and Scout run through the empty streets to try and find the woman in danger.
EXT. ALLEYWAY-NIGHT
Four demons corner a young woman and Peter’s eyes turn bright red. Peter shoots the young woman and laughs. The young woman slowly transforms into a demon.
PETER
You couldn’t fool me that easily, fellas. Now where’s your leader?
The demons start walking towards Peter and Scout who are both in a fighting stance.
DEMON #1
Foolish, half breed. Whose side on you on?
Peter laughs then shoots all four demons at a rapid pace.
PETER (V.O.)
I forgot to mention that I’m a half breed. I’m half human and half demon. Weird, I’m taking part in a holy war.
One of the demons tries to crawl away only for Peter to grab it and pick it up.
PETER
Where’s the Star Demon?
The demons disappear in a cloud of black smoke and the demon Peter is holding disappears at the same time. Peter exits the alleyway and returns to the streets.
EXT. VILLAGE STREETS-NIGHT
Peter and Scout are walking in the streets looking for demons. But the streets are empty.
PETER (V.O.)
The Star Demon. The second only to Satan himself. My greatest rival. He raped my mother. For that he must die.
SFX: Evil Laughing
Peter spots THE STAR DEMON (A blue skinned demon with a star across his eye) standing at the end of the street. Scout starts barking at The Star Demon while Peter rushes over towards him.
Peter and The Star Demon fight an epic battle in the streets. Peter shoots The Star Demon with his crossbow and wounds him.
Peter faces over The Star Demon and his eyes burn even redder in anger. The Star Demon start pleading for his life.
THE STAR DEMON
Peter, why would you kill me? I gave you the gift of life!
Peter shoots The Star Demon in the face and kills him. Scout starts celebrating as Peter touches The Star Demons dead body. Peter does a prayer and throws holy water on The Star Demon’s dead body.
After Peter sprinkles holy water on The Star Demon, his body fades away in a cloud of smoke.
Peter does one more prayer and then Peter checks his pocket watch.
EXT. VILLAGE STREETS-DAY
The sun raises and Peter puts his pocket watch away. Peter takes off his hat to reveal a pair of small horns as he itches his head. Peter puts the hat back on his head and Peter walks back to the church with Scout following behind him.
SFX: Church Bells Ringing
PETER (V.O.)
You may think after killing my rival and father The Star Demon, my battle would be over right? No, this is a never ending battle. Like the battle between good and evil itself, my hunt has only just began.
