VEL
Jesus Chr-! (realizes where he is) Are you okay?
Vel runs to the cross and helps the burning priest down. He pats out the flames and turns out the priest is a zombie also. The priest is very crispy from the burning and he attacks Vel. The priest bites a chunk out of Vel?s hand and Vel flips out on the priest. Bashing his head in with his foot. Vel grabs a candle holder and breaks it. Vel starts sawing his hand off so he won?t turn into a zombie. He then wraps the priests scarf over the wound and uses the crucifix from the Mary statue as a weapon against the priest.
