Final Script POST 8

 

WE OPEN ON A WIDE SHOT OF A STREET LEADING TO A SCHOOL. IT’S FULL OF MISSING POSTERS FOR THE SAME GIRL. WE ZOOM SLOWLY INTO IT. CUTS TO A POSTER ON THE FLOOR WHICH SOME ONE STEPS ON LEAVING A MUDDY FOOTPRINT.

ONE MONTH EARLIER…

A MEDIUM SHOT SHOWS A GIRL DRESSED IN FUNERAL ATTIRE SITS ON A BED WATER IN HER EYES. SHE IS LOOKING THROUGH A JEWLERY BOX (CLOSE UP). WE CAN HERE TWO ADULT VOICES ARGUING IN ANOTHER ROOM ABOUT THE FUNERAL. A DISTURBING FIGURE DRIPPED IN BLOOD IS STARING THRIUGH THE WINDOW AND PRESSES ITS HAND AGAINST THE WINDOW (BACK TO MEDIUM SHOT). SHE NOTICES A DAZZLING BLUE RING; IT SEEMS TO CALL TO HER. SHE HAS AN URGE TO PUT IT ON. SHE PLACES IT ON HER FINGER. (CLOSE UP)

GIRL: *Gasps*

SHE IS IN A WOOD (WIDE SHOT). SHE IMEADEATLY TAKES THE RING OFF AND IS BACK IN THE ROOM. SCARED BUT INTRUIGED SHE PLACES IT IN HER POCKET (CLOSE UP).

THE NEXT DAY IN SCHOOL. THE GIRL SITS IN A CLASSROOM SHE IS AT THE FRONT AND LOTS OF HER PEERS SIT AROUND HER. THERE IS ONE GIRL WHO WHISPHERING AND POINTING AT THE GIRL AND THEN PEOPLE AROUND HER SNIGGER. SHE GETS UP SET AND STORMS OUT OF THE CLASSROOM. USING A WHIPPAN SHE ARRIVES IN THE TOILET BATHROOM LONG SHOT SHOWS THE BLOODY FIGURE IS STANDING MENICINGLY IN ONE OF THE EMPTY STALLS. SHE ENTERS ONE OF THE STALLS SLAMMING IT BEHIND HER SHE SITA DOWN ON THE LID AND CONFIDENTLY PLACES THE RING ON HER FINGER.

SHE IS IN THE WOODS AGAIN SHE GETS UP AND WONDERS AROUND CONFUSED. (MONTAGE). SHE IS STANDING SMELLING SOME FLOWERS WHEN A FIGURE ARPROCHES HER FROM BEHIND.

FIGURE: (demeaner must be welcoming and friendly but at the same time unnerving, almost the character has an ulterior motive) Hello my love. I have not seen you around here before, are you lost?

GIRL: (startled) Oh my! You gave me quite a fight… sir…. Yes, I am afraid I am terribly lost, could you help me find my way?

FIGURE: I did not mean to startle you. Of course I can helping a pretty creature like you.

GIRL: (flattered) Me? Pretty? Thank you sir, no one has ever called me pretty before.

FIGURE: So where is it you wish to go love?

GIRL: Well, the thing is I do not really know where. I do not really know anything about this place.

FIGURE: Do not worry your pretty little head, I’ll show you where to go. I’ll take you back to my Grotto just outside of the village.

GIRL: (elated) Would you really? Oh, that would be so kind of you!

FIGURE: Follow me darling, I know the way. (turns around chuckling to himself)

(MONTAGE) OF THE PAIR WONDERING AROUND THE WOODS. FIGURE POINTS TO THINGS, THE GIRL NODS AND SMILES, SOMETIMES THEY LAUGH. A POV SHOT SHOWS THE FIGURE WALKING AND SLOWLY DETERIATING IN FRONT OF THE GIRL UNTIL THEY ARE ON THE GROUND.

GIRL: Are you okay Sir? (SHE SLOWLY AROCHES HIM) Sir? (SHE REACHES OUT HER ARM TIMIDLY) Should I get you some help? (SHE TOUCHES HIS SHOULDER) Sir?

FIGURE: *heavy breathing*

EXLOSIVLEY HE TURNS AROUND. TERRIFIED THE GIRL STARTS TO RUN AWAY. HE CHAESES HER IN AN OFF-PUTTING MANOR. EVENTUALLY HE CATCHES UP WITH HER AND PINS HER DOWN ATTAKING HER. SHE IS SCREAMING FOR HER LIFE. 5 CLOAKED FIGURES APPEAR FROM BEHIND TREES WHISHPERING. FADE TO BLACK.

1 MONTH LATER…

CUTS BACK TO THE STREETS A HAND COVERD IN BLOOD SNATCHES DOWN THE MISSING POSTER. ZOOM OUT TO SHOW BACK OF THE HEAD. HEAD TURNS. IT IS THE FIGURE.
