Fade In:

 

1.EXT. EVENING.A FORRESTED AREA. ALL ACTION TAKES PLACE IN THIS SCENE.

 The woods are revealed by a panning shot. It’s dusk and the light is slowly fading, Callum, Courtney, Sophie and Kelsey are walking through a small forested area. We follow them with a tracking shot, with a close up of Courtney’s face.

KELSEY (WALKING. looking around)

          So what are we here to do?

COURTNEY (speedily walking, looking intently at the area and thinking)

Well, we’re here to go look at that abandoned campsite from a few months ago.

 

Courtney leads the rest of the group through the woods, to find an old, ruined tent.

COUTNEY (confidently leads her friends to a specific place within the forest. she seems impressed.)

I think it’s just up this way. I think this is where we were.

Here it is. This is where we were last time.

Sophie (warily glances around where she is, she’s uneasy about where they are)

Oh, it looks real weird, like, just strange.

 

 

2.EXT.LATER IN THE DAY. COURTNEY IS SAT IN THE WOODS CRYING. CALLUM TRIES TO CALM HER DOWN, MEANWHILE KELSEY REALISES SOPHIE HAS GONE MISSING.

 

Callum (rushing over to courtney, tries to comfort her as she’s sat crying)

Courtney, calm down a bit! We’ll leave, come on, let’s go.

Are you alright now?

 

Kelsey (confused, and alert)

Hang on, where’s Sophie gone?

 

CALLUM (panicking)

Sophie! Where are you?! Come back, this isn’t funny.

 

kelsey

Christ.

CALLUM (alarmed and quickly runs over to courtney)

Courtney. COURTNEY! WHAT YOU DOING!

Jesus. What even.

What are you doing kels?

KELSEY (moving around the bushes looking for sophie, she looks concerned as she thinks she’s something els. answers callum reluctantly) 

I’m just looking for Sophie, like I just don’t even know what’s happening.

CALLUM (looking around, curious)

Where do you think she is?

Kelsey (worried, slowly walks around the bushes and she hears something, and questions callum shocked.)

I don’t know… What was that?!

CALLUM (stands still, and has a blank reaction to kelsey’s question, and questions it)

.. What?

KELSEY (panicking, runs back over to callum with their torches)

What the HELL was that!

callum (looking around quickly to try and see what’s going on)

I don’t know. Don’t move.

 

3.EXT. LATER. CALLUM AND KELSEY ARE ROUTING ABOUT LOOKING FOR SOPHIE IN THE BUSHES. THEY HEAR A SCREAM COME FROM SOPHIE.     COURTNEY IS SAT IN A BUSH CRYING TO HERSELF.

 

callum (turns around to see courtney running off)

OH MY GOD. Courtney! Go back!

KELSEY (turns around quick to inspect the bush behind her)

Was that Sophie?!

CALLUM (joins kelsey to look for sophie after sorting courtney out)

What the hell! Where has she gone? Oh for god sake.

KELSEY (hears a faint whimper from a bush. walks over to open it to find courtney)

Oh my god, I can hear her crying.

CALLUM (walks over to kelsey, constatnly looking around the while area)

Oh god. She’s in that bush.

Something isn’t right here. It’s too weird.

KELSEY (confused and curious)

What is going on?

CALLUM (worried and beginning to be impatient whilst observing courtney. hears something, so gets up and goes to see what’s happening)

Right. She’s talking to herself.

 

What’s that?

 

Oh God. Hang on, just wait there.

KELSEY (stands in the middle of the area, looking concerned, and notices courtney has left the bush, but she can still hear her)

Is that Courtney?

 

…Courtney?
