    Meanwhile, on a random house, in the village of Sirogojno, the priest is coming inside of the house, where many other villagers have gathered in a room, to look at what is going on and see if they can do something to the situation they are facing. In the house have gathered around twelve villagers, all by different ages and sex, but all sharing the same religion. To the bed on the main room rests the body of a woman, who is holding her newborn baby in blankets. She just gave birth to a baby, who is not looking in a good health.


    The people gathered around the bed, rumours started spreading about the health of the baby and of the mother of it. And before you know it, the baby started to exhale the sound a zombie would make, that hissing and groaning who cannot be mistaken by anything else.


    "Is it a zombie?" asks a village who looks like to be in his mid-thirty.


    "Yes…" says another village holding the knife, and looking at the mother who is starting to push the baby on slow rhythm from her.


    Then, someone enters the room, that person who''ve entered it is Sava. The same priest who have tried to kill the four people who entered their village in front of the villagers. The priest walks from the crowd gathered around the bed, he approaches the female who is holding the body of the baby who is exhaling furious sizzling and moving its hands. The priest, as he approached the baby, he grabs it slowly from her mother body, and hold in its hands.


    "I am sorry what happened to your small child…" says the priest sounding heart-breaking. "I''ve had a son, who has also died in my hands. But it was long ago." he says this thinking this will help the mother pain feel less awful, but this looks like it did not help too much. "Our souls have been cursed by Satan. This is not your fault." he said the last sentence looking at the mother. "This is the work of the Devil himself."


    "W-What are you going to do to my son?" asks the man who seems it is the father of his son.


    "What it should be done." says the Priest who is holding the baby up high.


    And all of a sudden, the Priest puts the baby on the table. He lets it move uncontrollably, trying to grab the Priest who is not even far at him. The Priest knows a zombie cannot bite him, but he never thought a zombie baby will try to grab on him and eat him. Sava is taking the knife of a villager, and before he was about to do the unthinkable, he looks at the father of the child who is starting to tremble.


    "Ped." says the priest to the man. "I have to do this. In the name of God."


    "Don''t spout that bullshit!" says the man angry, getting up and about to jump on him.


    "Pedria." says a woman from the group. who looks to be a relative of him.


    "No. This priest is a monster! I am the only one who saw his weird behaviour? Are you all blind?... Do not touch my baby!"

    "He needs to be sent to a better place."


    "N-No. H-He is fine. It can be cured. We need medicine."


    "It cannot be." says Sava to the man, who is looking helpless in this situation. "And you know it better than this."


    The man is looking at Sava, and was about to walk a step forward, but it gets grabbed by a villager before he was about to jump on him. The man tires to free himself, but another village comes fast to catch the other arm and hold him strong. While he is getting hold together in a place, and the villagers try to hold him down, Sava does his thing. He uses the knife to stab the heart of the baby.


    After the stab was done, blood was dripping from its wound. Sava takes a bit of blood from there, and makes a cross on the forehead of the baby, who is still moving and sizzling at Sava, moving its hands and feet frenetically. When it made the cross, Sava says a few words to the baby, indistinguishable words even for any speaking Serbian person because he said it in mutter. Then, he stabs the forehead of the child, the place where the blood cross was made. The baby stopped moving.


    "It is done." says Sava.


    "You monster!" yells the father of the child. "Bring me back the child, you monster!"


    "You cannot bring a soul back to what it is." says the Priest to the man, who is getting angrier. He glances at the bed of the mother, who is starting to breathe heavily.


    Sava is a bit concerned by the way the mother of the dead child is breathing. He approaches the mother, looks at her body, and observes a small bite on the left hand, on the wrist level. When he saw the bite mark, the priest is looking sadden at the father, who is starting to cry, and sobs.


    "Elena! Elena!" yells the holding man at the boy of his wife who is turning into a zombie, slowly.


    "God want your soul to be together with the child of yours." says Sava saddened by this.


    The man holds the hand on the bite mark, he looks at the woman, who is turning her head to him, she breathes heavy, then she says to the priest in a whisper tone, only for him to hear it.


    "I-I am okay…"


    "Yes, dear…" says the Priest taking the knife, and impaling on the heart of the woman, who is grasping for air, then the priest quickly stabs the head of the woman, to stops her to become a zombie. "There, there… You will rest your soul into Kingdom of Heaven."


    Sava raises up, and as we were about to turn around, he sees the husband of the woman collapse on its knees. The villagers are starting to leave him alone. The man doesn''t have any strength left to do anything, only to speak, so the man is looking at the priest, hopeless and says to him.


    "Leave my home… Leave my home, you monster."


    Sava obeys the request, and he leaves the house, together with the other villagers, leaving the man named Ped alone in his house, grieving the death of her wife and newborn child. As he was crying and sobbing near the bed of his wife, in his mind, a thought comes to him. "Kill the Priest. Kill the Priest. Kill the Priest by any chance you''ve got.". The man remains on the bed, crying and reminiscing every memory he had with his dead wife.


    When the villagers left the house, they continued the searching of the fugitive people. All the villagers are wondering where they would go. Sava, is looking at his fingernails, he has a blood spot on it, blood from the body it doesn''t belong to him. He licks the blood from the fingernail, then, he looks on the direction of a forest net to his village. Tells the people who were waiting for its order.


    "In the forest." says Sava in a few seconds.


    The people start to run to the said forest, about six of villagers, all holding some weapon categorized as melee types by video games enjoyers. All the six are running, while Sava is walking in a slower pace after them, holding a bloody cross on his right hand, he let it outside. Sava, as he walks toward the forest, he can sense where the four fugitives are. Sava have used the blood of Dragan wound to check where he was running. Earlier he pressed the wound of Dragan hard enough to free some blood from it.
