This figure is merely the [[Twelfth Doctor]], and [[Clara Oswald | This figure is merely the [[Twelfth Doctor]], and [[Clara Oswald]] is not far behind. Jess explains that she initially mistook the Doctor for "the [[vampire]]" - specifically, the Highgate Vampire which dominated the news a few years before their current setting of 1972. | ||
Suddenly, the three hear a scream which Jess recognises as Dave's voice. As they reach him, however, they find his body lifeless and completely drained. A distraught Jess explains that Dave simply wanted to prove the vampire's existence, and his mere curiosity has killed him. Clara, putting her hand on a grave, feels a curious static sensation; however, the Doctor puts off investigating that oddity, as they have a vampire to hunt. | Suddenly, the three hear a scream which Jess recognises as Dave's voice.

Unfortunately, they realise that have left without Clara, in whom the vampires seem to have gained interest. | ||
The Doctor and Jess find the rest of the group, and the former begins to question the creatures. They explain that they are a savage species called the [[Corvid]]. Living in the [[time vortex]], they travel to areas where death is abundant. The Doctor suggests the humans flee, but Gabriel encourages them to consume the rest of the group, exclaiming that "it's feeding time!" He explains that he had attempted for seven years to encounter the Highgate Vampire, whose power fascinates Gabriel. He had manipulated the group with talk of spiritual enlightenment, but in reality he merely wanted the vampire's power. Jess pushes Gabriel to the vampires, though he is not dead. The rest of the group finally runs. | The Doctor and Jess find the rest of the group, and the former begins to question the creatures.
