Title: Sins of Saints
Genre: Horror/Thriller (Supernatural/ Paranormal/Possession)

Officer Annie McKenzie along with her partner, Rick Cruise patrols around the small winter cold town.

"Looks like chief's really in a hurry today." Rick points out, Annie grimaces at his random thought. "He's always so pumped up for his church masses." Annie feels a chill on her skin both by the cold and the mention of the weekly masses held in the monastery. Though the mass itself is normal, but the crazy amount of people all over the world gathers for one night of prayer is damn creepy as hell.

"I don't really want to think about it too much." Annie says, sipping on her coffee which Rick offers. When she thought he'll just sit and stay silent, of course he wouldn't.

"So... any plans this Friday night?" He asked rather nervously. He's constantly wanting to make a move on her. The new dreamy hunky boy in town pushed his luck to far with her which ended with him getting kicked in the root of his desires and has since been a running joke in the office. It didn't stopped him from trying though, in fact, it seems to have encouraged him more. Annie always outwits his silly efforts, but this time he seems gravely sincere about it that she stopped midway to rethink her answer.

But before she could finally answer him, over his shoulder, she notices a massive source of light in the dark of night. A fire in the middle of winter. Rick follows her gaze and the two immediately gets in their car and calls help.

"This is Officer McKenzie calling in for backup, a fire and rescue team and medics on the far side of the mountain, to the monastery!" With an affirmed reply from their radio, Rick steps on the gas. With Rick's driving, the two arrived at the scene in less that a minute with the truck and medics on their way. The gigantic structure gets burned down, Annie almost instantly tries to dive inside when she hears the children screaming, if it weren't for Cruise. "There's people dying in there!" Annie shouts as she wriggles off from Rick's grip.

"You will be to if you act stupidly like that!... The truck is coming soon."

"Soon is not enough," she frees herself from him and runs inside, taking a deep breath and runs towards the burning church.

"Fuck! Annie!" He didn't even hesitated, he tears his uniform quickly off and rips off his tee into two pieces before running towards the car and soaks the pieces of cloths with water. Then he runs after her.

Annie turns around see her annoying partner, who's now in a ripped white tee that slightly exposes his hard chiseled abs. "what the fuck are you doing Cruise?!"

"Just shut up and save your breath, hon." He says as he puts the other cloth to her mouth, Annie rolls her eyes but agrees. Soon, they found the room for the kids. "Come on, guys. This way!" Rick ushers the kids out each room and Annie helps lead the kids down the vast burning hallways and stairs. "Is that every body?" Annie hears Rick shout from downstairs.

Annie coughs, "I think so!" Annie replies, and is about to go back down when she notices another girl crying in the far end of the hallway. "There's another girl here!" Annie shout out to Rick, this seems to alarm the girl and runs away from Annie. She follows her to another room. She crouches in a corner, desperate to get away. "It's okay, I won't hurt you. I'm here to help you to safety." Annie's feeling a little woozy for being exposed to much to the fire and the smoke. The wet cloth seems to be less help now. She offers a hand to the girl, who looks up.
