History
While they stand guard, one of the soldiers enters the church and is attacked by a creature with enormous wings and red eyes, the chupacabra. His companion guard listens to the noise and when approaching is also attacked. In the cell, the group is awakened by the screams and Leo observes the flying creature through the window. In that, Leo's brother, Nando, appears outside the cell with the intention of frightening the group and freeing his brother. Before the imminent approach of the chupacabra, Nando is forced to open the door and everyone flee from there. When the group is crossing the aqueduct, they are attacked by the chupacabra who weakens the structure of the aqueduct, causing it to begin to crumble. In order to save Leo, the leader of the imprisoned insurgents sacrifices himself by knocking the monster with his body and both fall into the abyss. The group has no choice but to return. Leo and the others devise a plan to catch the chupacabra, which consists in attracting the monster to the weakened structure of the monastery so that the roof falls on it.

In the church, Leo shows the chupacabra amulet and he does not attack it. He opens the float and finds another chupacabra and his calf locked in a cage. One of the soldiers who accompanied him before, attacks the creature but it kills him, and the body is rescued by two other prisoners from the roof. After a quick inspection, Leo discovers that the other part of the amulet is under the poster of the float and joins the two parts, which causes the cage to open and the chupacabra to reunite with his family and leave the place not before rescued Leo makes him safe and gives life back to the last soldier he had attacked.
