Vampire Chronicles, part II

It was an old new England setting, with cobble stone, carriages, town squares and the weapon of choice was swords. And the difference between pride and foolishness back then was skill. And this man had skill, but compared to the second man, he looked like a stumbling drunk. The crowd surrounding the two were surprised. They knew the first man, and knew his skill, but the second man had something, a strength, no a speed that seemed almost "unhuman". The crowd was abashed by this, except for one girl. She had an intensity and hope as she stared at the second guy.
The room was spinning, as the swords were hitting (clanging) in a rhythmic motion until "the first man fall, stop, died". The crowd started to disperse, as the widow ran crying. The girl walk up to the man and started talking.
"I need you to teach me."
"Need is a strong word" the man replied.
"It is need. My family was killed by a person as quick and strong as you, maybe even quicker. My father was killed defending my mother, he was the best buy they both died. I ran into the crawl space, but he must have seen me & all I saw was his coat. He burned down the house but I know he will be back. Please help me"
The man listened to her story, as the details reminded him of that day. He believed the man was prideful & childless but he was only defending his family. The guilt's been eating him up inside ever since.
"Fine, I'll help you. Come after midnight to the house at the end of the hill. It's a long walk, but come anyway."
"Thank you, so much."

Funeral

So, this is created to be co-written with M. Night Shyamalan. Well, when I run into him and he is willing.
Do you know what the surprise idea is? Well, it is a 2hr. funeral, seriously, the whole movie is set at a funeral. That or my favorite director fake his death in push of the idea that "those who plan there own funeral will soon be dying". And I would have him as the main character: the documentary filmmaker. See, our main character is a documentary filmmakers whose topic is funerals and spends the whole movie as the corpse in the coffin.
Now, we have a little more, it is a funeral but it has flash backs, via the character's documenting filming. He is interviewing different characters about opinion of funerals and then you see that idea somewhere happening at the funeral. Like my emo type character. In his interview, funerals remind him of quote from his favorite song, SIXX:AM's "Life is Beautiful". He quotes the "Will you swear on your life, that no one will cry at my funeral?" and indicates that he thinks that is a smart idea. Ironical, when the flash back stops back to him at the funeral, a tear is falling down that's emo's check.

Mybo, 1982

Mybo, this is a bad character sketch of your father, but it was written by your mother and the other brothers believes it reveals more about her than she expected. We think you are old enough to read it. He even has your first name.

She sits on a chair on top of a plush carpet, staring at a painting above a decorative fireplace. In walks a young monk. He says "You must be the next Buddha, he like this room as a young monk.” She smiles at this, but replies, "Was this carpet, chair or even this pictures here then?" He shakes his head no. "I like the carpet, too."
"What is that?" she asks.
"Oh, it's a picture book, of when we've taken the people who need it most over seas."
She starts flipping though the book, but stops at a page. She picks up the pictures of a young man and reads the back. 'Mybo, 1982, Great Wall of China'. She lifts shows the picture and asks "Does he have a last name?"
The monk shakes his head in disapproval at the question.
"No, I mean, he must have a last name. I was just wondering if you knew it."
"Yes, it is....
'Hey, he even has my last name.’
‘Yes, Mybo, it was a fiction story she was trying to write.'
"I know him. Well, it makes sense, he had kidney stones and has been through a divorce."
"You know him! We have lost contact with him. Please share."
"Here, this is the work address, but I did not share this with you." She gives him a piece of paper with writing on it.

Next Monday morning, the workday is starting. The girl is hidden behind her desk at work.
"Thomas" is heard shouted from a corner office. "I have received a letter. It is from my brother!"
'Dear Mybo,
I have missed you. We have lost contact over the years, and that has saddened me. I am told that you are now divorce and even been through pain. I never thought you should have left, but now you can come back. I would love to see you again. Please.
Your Brother,
Monk Joe'
"He wants to see me."
"Well, you should let him.” Thomas "He is family".
"Fine, I will see him, but...maybe I will let him visit here. I..., I just don't want to go back".
