EXT. SCHOOLYARD – DAY

The senior class are all lined up in their graduation robes. A picture is taken and they all throw their caps into the air and cheer. They all start talking and shouting as we zoom in close. We zoom so far in that we go into one of the robes and cut to…

EXT. NIGHTS SKY

We hear faint music in the distance. We come down to reveal a house packed with the senior class, the house is almost in the middle of nowhere and there is no houses for at least a mile in every direction. A graduation party is going on. Lots of cars are outside the house. Some students are outside being sick because of all the drink they've had.

INT. HOUSE

As we travel through the dark house, we go past many screaming happy students, glad to be rid of school. Music is booming and students are dancing in the middle of hallways and packed rooms. We got through the kitchen where a few boys are taking down shots of vodka non-stop. We come to the lounge where a boy and girl are kissing passionately against a wall. The boy is RYAN MACGOTHE and the girl is MELODY SHYNE. Ryan pulls away from the kiss.

RYAN

(Shouting over the noise)

Come outside, it's too noisy in here.

MELODY

What?

Ryan takes Melody by the hand and leads her through the house.

EXT. FRONTYARD

Ryan brings Melody out and leads her to a car parked quite far from the house. He opens the door for Melody and she climbs in, he gets in after her.

INT. CAR

Melody shuffles up so Ryan can fit in. Ryan gets close to her and they resume the kissing. We see Ryan's hand travel up Melody's thigh. Melody pushes it right backed down again and pulls away from the kiss.

RYAN

What is it?

MELODY

I don't feel right it being like this…

RYAN

What do you mean?

MELODY

I want my first time to be … perfect.

RYAN

What's not perfect about this?

MELODY

You make it sound like you're only using me for sex!

RYAN

It's not like that!

MELODY

I want it to be the perfect guy.

RYAN

(A little angry)

You saying you don't want it to be with me?

MELODY

No I don't mean that! I need to be sure you are the right guy.

RYAN

Trust me I am!

MELODY

I just don't know whether I can…

RYAN

It's the end of high school, we're finally free, we can do whatever we want!

MELODY

I know, Ryan. But that doesn't mean I just want to jump into bed with any man I see just because I'm free to do it!

Ryan slides his hand up her thigh again.

RYAN

Aw come on! You said you wanted to before!

Melody pushes his hand off getting a little heated up.

MELODY

RYAN JUST STOP!

Ryan leans onto Melody pinning her to the seat.

MELODY

GET OFF ME! STOP!!

INT. HOUSE

Quite a lot of people have left now apart from a few drunk kids or kids making out. MICHELLE CAYLOR and GRAHAM CORSCH are making out on the couch in the living room. They play around giggling.

GRAHAM

Are you ready for this?

MICHELLE

Yes!

Michelle rolls Graham over and they fall down onto the floor. A scream erupts from somewhere outside the house.

EXT. FRONTYARD

The scream echoes through the night.

INT. LOUNGE

Michelle and Graham freeze at the sound of the scream.

MICHELLE

What was that?

GRAHAM

I don't know!

Graham and Michelle get up.

GRAHAM

I'll go and see!

MICHELLE

No, don't go alone!

GRAHAM

It's OK, I'll get Dom to go with me.

He walks from the room.

EXT. FRONTYARD

Graham, DOMINIC FONCE and MILES BEIKE walk out onto the yard. Dominic sees Ryan's car.

DOMINIC

Look!

They all look over at Ryan's car. Michelle runs out and up to Graham.

MICHELLE

Graham!

GRAHAM

What're you doing? Get back inside!

Michelle ignores Graham and follows as the three boys walk over to Ryan's car. Dominic walks to the car door and pulls on the handle, it's locked. He knocks on the window, which is opaque.

DOMINIC

Ryan open up!

MILES

I saw Ryan inside.

MICHELLE

Well I saw him and Melody come out here.

DOMINIC

Oh great.

Dominic elbows the window and it shatters. We zoom in on the dead body of Melody! Her eyes are wide open and her clothes are partly ripped off, blood is all down her chest. Michelle screams. Graham hugs her. Dominic backs away from the car window.

DOMINIC

Fuck!

MILES

Oh my god!

DOMINIC

Where the fuck is Ryan? I'll kill HIM!

GRAHAM

We don't know it was Ryan!

DOMINIC

It's his car!

GRAHAM

He wouldn't kill his girlfriend!

MILES

The points lead to Ryan, Graham!

DOMINIC

Why wouldn't he kill his girlfriend, he's a twisted

motherfucker!

INT. HOUSE

Dominic runs through the house in a mad rage to find Ryan. He comes to him stood alone in the hallway.

DOMINIC

YOU! ME! Outside NOW!

RYAN

For what?

DOMINIC

You know exactly what I'm talking about!

EXT. NEAR RIVER

Ryan is slammed down into the wet mud. Dominic drags him up.

DOMINIC

Why'd you do it?

RYAN

Do what?

DOMINIC

You know what! MELODY!

Ryan bows his head.

DOMINIC

So you did kill her!

Graham, Miles and Michelle are stood around, Michelle is keeping a distance.

DOMINIC

See Graham? What did I tell you, what did I

fucking tell you?

RYAN

What're you talking about ‘killed'?

DOMINIC

You fucking murdered her!

Miles comes in.

MILES

Don't try denying it now! Not now you've admitted

to it!

RYAN

I didn't murder her!

Miles punches him and he falls down.

MICHELLE

Stop! You'll hurt him!

DOMINIC

Like he hurt Melody?

RYAN

(In pain)

I didn't murder her!

GRAHAM

Dominic, Miles get the cops in to deal with it!

DOMINIC

No, we'll deal with it right here, right now.

Dominic and Miles lunge in, kicking and punching Ryan as he screams in pain. Michelle keeps screaming for them to stop.

Graham comes over to stop them but Dominic punches him and he falls down. Michelle runs over to him.

MICHELLE

Graham! Are you OK?

They look at the big brawl between the other three boys. Miles punches Ryan up on the chin and he rolls down near the river, hitting his head several times on the rocks. The other four get up and run to the river edge, they look down at Ryan's lifeless body.

MILES

Oh shit, he's fucking dead!

DOMINIC

NO! He can't be! He's just unconscious.

Miles hesitantly goes down and checks the pulse.

MILES

(Almost being sick)

He's… he's dead!

GRAHAM

Oh my god!

MICHELLE

He can't be!

MILES

He is.

Miles stands up.

MICHELLE

I'll call an ambulance!

MILES

No you won't!

MICHELLE

We have to get him to a doctor, maybe there's

still time!

DOMINIC

Still time? HE'S DEAD!

GRAHAM

She's just trying to help him!

MILES

No one can know about this!

MICHELLE

What are you saying?

MILES

Well we'll have to get rid of the body won't

we?

MICHELLE

NO!

MILES

I fucking killed him! We did!

MICHELLE

We'll just say it was a drunken brawl got

out of hand!

MILES

Drink or no drink! We'll still fry!

DOMINIC

Michelle, he killed Melody!

GRAHAM

He's right Michelle!

MICHELLE

I'm not going with you're plan!

MILES

Yes you will! And you'll keep quiet, nothing

happened! After tonight, this is between us OK?

DOMINIC

Yeah.

GRAHAM

Michelle, we've got no choice!

MICHELLE

We've got a hundred choices and you're

making the wrong one!

MILES

Is that a yes?

Michelle doesn't answer.

EXT. FOREST

Dominic and Miles are carrying the black bags containing the dead body; Dominic is also carrying a shovel in one hand. Graham and Michelle are walking behind. Graham has a shovel in his hand. After a while of walking, Dominic and Miles put the body down.

MILES

Here.

Dominic begins shovelling. Miles looks at Graham who's just frozen.

MILES

Get digging!

Graham throws the shovel down.

GRAHAM

I'll keep quiet but the rest is up to you!

Miles gives him a look and picks up the shovel, he begins digging with Dominic.

TIME CUT:

The hole has now been dug. Dominic and Miles pick up Ryan's body and place it in the hole. They begin refilling the hole.

EXT. NEAR RIVER

Ryan's car pulls up where Michelle, Dominic and Graham are waiting. Miles steps out of the driving seat with a sickly look on his face. He has gloves on.

MICHELLE

What're we going to do with the car?

MILES

Dump it.

MICHELLE

What about Melody? We didn't kill her!

MILES

You think the cops'll believe that?

GRAHAM

Michelle, don't have anything to do with it!

MILES

Graham, we're all part of it now!

DOMINIC

Just dump the car and get it over and done with!

Miles opens the door and pulls back the stick, it rolls and he closes the door. It rolls into the river and is swept away down the river.

The screen fuzzes and we cut to a TV screen. The news is on and it shows a reporter near the river where the car is being lifted.

A hand pushes the power button and the TV flickers off.

EXT. MICHELLE'S APARTMENT - NIGHT

VIEW ON night's sky. The words; One Year Later appear over the dark sky. Lightning flashes and the words vanish, as it does for a split second we see a hooded person's head, The Reaper. It flashes again, and as it does it cuts to…

INT. DARK ROOM

A plug socket with a plug in it sparks, there is a hand over it, as the socket sparks the hand quickly moves and we hear a girl scream. The lights go out. The camera turns to reveal the girl is Michelle, her hair is wet and she is in a bathrobe. She grabs her fingertips.

MICHELLE

OW!

She looks around the dark room.

MICHELLE

Shit.

She stands up from where she is sat and walks from the room.

INT. HALLWAY

Michelle opens the fuse box; there is a small torch inside. She turns the torch on and shines it on the fuse box's contents. We see something shadowy black, and transparent rush past behind her. She turns, nothing there. She turns back to the fuse box and flicks a switch. The light flickers back on. Michelle sighs a sigh of relief and walks upstairs.

INT. BEDROOM

Michelle walks in and opens up a drawer; she takes out a t-shirt and closes the drawer. With us seeing from behind she drops her robe and puts the t-shirt on.

She grabs a brush from the dresser and starts brushing her wet hair. Again the shadow rushes past behind her.

Then the lights go out again.

MICHELLE

What the hell?

Michelle turns onto the dark landing.

INT. LANDING

Michelle looks around, and slowly walks down the landing. She looks curiously around. No one. A loud crash from somewhere within a room. Michelle jumps.

MICHELLE

Hello? Grace, you home?

No answer.

INT. HALLWAY

Michelle quietly walks down the hallway. Suddenly GRACE CORTZ(Michelle's roommate, and friend) pops out in front of her.

Michelle jumps. Grace smiles, and laughs.

GRACE

Boo!

MICHELLE

Grace!

GRACE

Gotcha.

MICHELLE

You know I don't like being scared Grace!

GRACE

Oh sorry Michelle, wanted to have some fun.

MICHELLE

You know, you seriously scared me.

GRACE

I know. You're so easy to scare.

Michelle sighs. Grace giggles.

EXT. PARK - DAY

Michelle is jogging on a path. She has her head phones on.

People play football on an open field. Michelle looks ahead. TYLER BRIGGS is jogging her way. They both stop running when they meet eachother.

Michelle takes her head phones off. They're both out of breath.

MICHELLE

Hey Tyler.

TYLER

Hi Michelle.

MICHELLE

What are you doing here?

TYLER

Jogging too, with Kyla.

Tyler turns around. KYLA FRIESE is slowly jogging. She breaths heavy. She reaches them.

KYLA

Hi Michelle.

MICHELLE

Hi, you OK?

KYLA

It's just that I'm so tired.

TYLER

We've been running for two hours.

KYLA

Two hours? Thats it?

TYLER

You can't be tired already.

KYLA

Oh, but I am.

Michelle smiles.

MICHELLE

Well I better get back to jogging.

KYLA

Michelle puts on her head phones, and continues to run.

INT. CLOTHING STORE

A crowded clothing store. Michelle has her workout-fit on, she stands putting pants on a rack.

VOICE(O.S)

Michelle turns to CASSIE KELLER.

MICHELLE

Oh hi Cassie.

Oh, I'm working at a pizza parlor.

MICHELLE

Good for you.

CASSIE

Hey, well I got to get going. Talk to you soon.

MICHELLE

OK, bye Cass.

CASSIE

Bye.

Cassie smiles, and walks away. Michelle looks around the store. A lot of old ladies talking about the good, old days.

Michelle smiles. She looks over to the front windows of the store. Cassie is just walking out. A hooded person runs across the street.

Michelle eye's that person curiously. She walks towards the door.

EXT. SIDEWALK

Michelle exits the store, and steps onto the sidewalk. No sign of the hooded person. Michelle continues to look around. No sign of him.

Michelle sighs. She turns around, and walks back into the store.

EXT. MICHELLE'S APARTMENT - NIGHT

We see that it is now night.

INT. HALLWAY

A door opens. Michelle steps in. She hangs her coat on a coat-rack, then freezes.

She turns to see the whole house pitch black.

MICHELLE

Grace?

No answer.

MICHELLE

Grace!?

GRACE(O.S)

What? I'm upstairs.

INT. LANDING

Michelle walks up the landing quickly.

INT. HALLWAY

Michelle walks down a dark hallway. She reaches a door that is half open. Light shines through the crack of the door.

INT. BEDROOM

Michelle enters. Grace stands in front of a mirror putting mascara on. She's dressed in sexy clothes.

GRACE

Hey, whats up?

MICHELLE

Nothing, just got home from the store.

Grace turns to Michelle.

GRACE

I'm working at the club tonight. You coming?

MICHELLE

No, I'm really not up for dancing tonight.

GRACE

C'mon girl, you need to have some fun in your life!

MICHELLE

GRACE

Fun? Working at that shity clothes store, jogging every morning, and you start college in a few days. Now, does that sound like a fun life?

MICHELLE

No. But, I'm happy with my life.

GRACE

OK. It's just ever since high school ended you've

changed.

Michelle's face goes down.

MICHELLE

I know. It's just not the same.

GRACE

Why though?

MICHELLE

Nothing. Forget about it.

GRACE

OK. I'm inviting Miles, Dom, and Elsa over

MICHELLE

GRACE

Why don't you invite Graham over?

MICHELLE

A car roars down an empty, dark road.

MICHELLE

INT. CLUB

Rave music blasts. Flashing lights shine down on the dozens of people that are dancing.

Graham, and Michelle enter through the doors. They walk over to the bar. Grace is the bartender. She looks shocked to see Michelle.

GRACE

Hi Grace.

GRACE

Hi Graham. You guys want something?

GRAHAM

They both turn to Elsa.

MICHELLE

Hey Elsa.

GRAHAM

Elsa? Hey, what're you doing here?

ELSA

Elsa turns to the dancefloor. Tyler, and Kyla are dancing.

Grace turns around, handing Michelle her drink, and Graham his beer.

GRAHAM

GRACE

Grace dissapers into the kitchen. GAVIN JENEIO walks up to Elsa.

She turns to Michelle, and Graham. Grace comes back with a Sprite, she hands it to Elsa.

ELSA

Grace turns to her boss.

GRACE

I'm taking a break.

Her boss nods his head.

All of them walk to the dancefloor. They start dancing. We zoom into a bright light in the ceiling, as we do we cut to....

EXT. HIGHWAY

We zoom out, we see we're in front of a headlight of a car.

INT. CAR

Elsa, Gavin, Tyler, and Kyla sit inside. Elsa drives. Tyler, and Kyla make out in the back.

Kyla pulls back.

EXT. APARTMENT BUILDING

Kyla walks towards the building. The car leaves.

INT. CORRIDOR

Kyla walks down a corridor. She reaches a door, and enters.

INT. KYLA'S APARTMENT

Kyla enters, she hits the light-switch. The room quickly lights up. We see that we're in a small living room.

She throws her purse on the couch. She grabs her head.

INT. KITCHEN

She walks over to a cabinet, and pulls out a bottle of asprine. She grabs a glass, and walks over to the water fossit, and fills her glass up. She swallows the asprine. The phone rings. She walks to the table, and picks up the cortless phone.

KYLA

Hello?....Hey Cassie....Whats up?....Yes I'm drunk.... I've got an early class tomorrow....I'm gonna take a quick bath....Yeah, I'll seeya tomorrow...Later.

Kyla clicks the phone off.

INT. BATHROOM

Kyla clicks on a light. She walks over to the bathtub, she turns on the fossit labeled "hot", she runs her hand threw the water. She quickly takes her hand out from the running water.

KYLA

Aahh! Shit!

She quickly turns the fossit labeled "cold". She walks out of the bathroom.

INT. BEDROOM

Kyla enters. She takes off her shoes. She takes off her shirt, revealing her bra. She throws the bra onto the bed.

INT. BATHROOM

The bathtub is almost full of water.

INT. BEDROOM

Kyla is now changed into a bathrobe. She stands in front of a mirror. She takes off her earings.

INT. BATHROOM

The bathtub is full now. Kyla enters, she quickly turns off the fossits.

INT. HALLWAY

The reaper stands in the middle of the hallway, motionless.

INT. BATHROOM

Kyla is now in the bathtub. The water is to her neck.

VIEW ON Kyla's face. Her eyes slowly close.

INT. HALLWAY

The reaper is gone!

INT. BATHROOM

VIEW ON Kyla's face. Her eyes are still closed. She looks as if she's sleeping.

Suddenly the bathroom lights turn off! Kyla still remains with her eyes shut.

The reaper's hand pulls down on the drainning leaver! We start to hear the water drain. The water drains down to her chest. Suddenly the reaper's hand reaches for the leaver, and pulls it. The drainning sound stops. The reaper turns on the hot fossit! Hot water begins to pour.

Kyla's eyes open wide, she screams. The reaper grabs her, and shoves her forward. He holds her head under the hot water! She screams furiously.

Her hands grip the side of the bathtub. Her screams get louder. He pushes her back. He quickly turns the hot water off.

Kyla chokes on water she's swallowed. The reaper's hands dive for her, and hold her underwater.

VIEW underwater. Kyla is struggling. Her mouth is open in a scream. The reaper's hands grip her neck, and he begins to choke her underwater. We hear her screams, seconds later the scream begins to fade away. Her eyes slowly close.

The reaper lets go of her neck. He slowly walks out of the bathroom, leaving Kyla's naked, dead body in the bathtub.

INT. HALLWAY

The door swings open and a very drunk Michelle crutched onto Grace and Graham stumbles into the hall.

GRACE

Who'd have guessed we go to a club and Ms. Sensible

comes home more drunk than me.

GRAHAM

I know, she's not usually one for drinking is she?

GRACE

You can say that again.

INT. LIVING ROOM

Grace and Graham lay Michelle down onto the sofa.

GRAHAM

Do you want me to stay or should I go?

GRACE

You can stay if you want but I doubt we're gonna

get much more action out of her tonight.

GRAHAM

I guess you're right, I'll seeya later OK?

GRACE

Yeah seeya Graham.

Graham exits.

GRACE

Well Michelle, looks like it's just you and me.

POV MICHELLE; We Grace sat across from her, a shadowy figure rushes past behind Grace then disappears.

FADE TO BLACK

TIME CUT:

INT. LIVING ROOM – DAY

Michelle is still asleep on the sofa. Her eyes slowly open. Grace wonders in wearing her night gown.

MICHELLE

Grace, what time is it?

GRACE(O.S)

Nearly nine o'clock, aren't you supposed to be at the store?

MICHELLE

Oh shit yeah!

Michelle leaps up.

INT. CLOTHING STORE

Only a few people are in the store. The woman sat behind the desk looks at her watch and shakes her head. Michelle hurries in.

WOMAN

Michelle I don't know what you've been told but the

rest of us start at nine!

MICHELLE

Sorry I'm late. I had quite a rough night last night.

WOMAN

I don't want to know about your social life just make

sure it doesn't happen again!

MICHELLE

OK, sorry again.

Michelle starts doing her job. She looks over at the dressing rooms. She sees two feet underneath the end door just sitting there, doing nothing. She walks over to the curtain across the front as a door.

MICHELLE

Hello? Do you need any help?

Silence. She looks under the curtain again. The feet aren't there. She draws the curtain back, no one is there.

She looks down again and sees the two feet are now under inside the cubicle next to it.

MICHELLE

Is someone in here?

Silence. She draws back that curtain, empty. The other people around the store look at her.

She then the feet under the third and final curtain. She slowly reaches out to draw back that curtain but before she can it is whipped open and we see Cassie stood there.

CASSIE

Hey Michelle!

MICHELLE

Oh, hey. Why didn't you answer?

CASSIE

Huh?

MICHELLE

I shouted but I didn't get any answer!

CASSIE

How was I to know you meant me?

MICHELLE

How did you do the swapping cubicles thing?

CASSIE

What?

MICHELLE

I saw you in that cubicle then that one then this one.

CASSIE

Are you feeling OK?

MICHELLE

Oh don't worry about it; I had a lot to drink last

I have a banging headache! Probably seeing things.

CASSIE

Well are you sure you should be working with a headache?

MICHELLE

I've got no choice, I need the money.

CASSIE

You shouldn't push yourself Michelle.

MICHELLE

I know.

INT. MICHELLE'S APARTMENT – EVENING

The door opens and Michelle comes in. She walks into the living. Grace, Elsa, Miles and Dominic are in the living room. Lots of cans of drank beer cans are around.

MILES

Oh hi Michelle.

Michelle looks around silently.

GRACE

Are you OK Michelle?

MICHELLE

Yeah fine.

GRACE

I told you last night that they were coming around.

MICHELLE

Oh yeah I forgot.

DOMINIC

Well are you gonna join the fun or what?

INT. KYLA'S APARTMENT

A knock comes on the door and it slowly creaks open. Tyler stands in the doorway.

TYLER

Kyla? Are you home?

Silence.

TYLER

Hello?

INT. LIVING ROOM

Tyler comes in and looks around the empty living room. He walks back out.

INT. BATHROOM

The shower curtain has been drawn around so we can't see Kyla. We can hear the shower running.

TYLER

Taking a shower, baby? Want some company?

Tyler smiles and draws back the curtain. He looks down at Kyla's dead body and screams. He stumbles back and falls into the hallway.

INT. HALLWAY

Tyler gets up and hurries out.

INT. MICHELLE'S APARTMENT

The gang, including Michelle, are all laughing and messing around.

GRACE

Michelle, ring up Kyla, see if she wants to come around!

MICHELLE

OK.

Michelle goes to the phone and dials a number.

INT. KYLA'S APARTMENT

Police officers are around investigating. Next to the phone stands Tyler, he has tears in his eyes. The phone rings and Tyler answers it.

TYLER

H-hello?

MICHELLE

Tyler, do you and Kyla want to come around for a drink?

TYLER

I'm afraid… Kyla won't be able to make it.

MICHELLE

Why not?

TYLER

She's dead…

MICHELLE

She's WHAT?

TYLER

She's dead, she died in the bathtub. They're not sure about cause of death yet but they think she passed out whilst in the tub.

MICHELLE

Oh my god! I'm so sorry Tyler… I gotta go.

TYLER

Bye…

He hangs up and slumps down into a sitting position.

INT. MICHELLE'S APARTMENT

Michelle hangs up and turns to the rest of the gang.

GRACE

Are they coming?

MICHELLE

Kyla's… Kyla's dead.

DOMINIC

What?

MICHELLE

They found her dead in the bathtub. They think she passed out, and drowned.

GRACE

I can't believe it.

MICHELLE

Neither can I. I need a drink.

She grabs a bottle and gulps some down. The gang goes quiet. Miles gets up and walks out. Michelle goes after him.

EXT. OUTSIDE

Miles hurries away but Michelle stops him.

MILES

Don't even say it!

MICHELLE

Miles…

MILES

No, I know what you're gonna say!

MICHELLE

Miles, maybe he wasn't dead!

MILES

NO! He was dead! What happened to Kyla is an accident! Why would

he target her anyway? She had nothing to do with it!

MICHELLE

I don't have the answers, OK? I just can't settle with the theory

that she died accidentally.

MILES

Well get used to it!

Miles storms away. Michelle watches him leave.

INT. TYLER'S APARTMENT

Tyler holds a picture of Kyla in his hands. Tears roll down his cheeks, his eyes are blood-shot from all the crying.

INT. CORRIDOR

Michelle knocks on a door.

VOICE(O.S)

Michelle.

Michelle turns her head down the hall to see a someone with a hood on, the reaper. Michelle gasps. The reaper starts walking towards her, slowly.

Michelle bangs on Tyler's door.

MICHELLE

Tyler! Open up! Tyler!

The reaper continues walking towards her.

MICHELLE

Tyler!

Suddenly the door opens, revealing Tyler. Michelle sighs. She looks back down the hall. The reaper is gone.

TYLER

Are you OK?

INT. LIVING ROOM

Michelle, and Tyler step in.

TYLER

Sorry it took me a long time to answer the door. I..??

MICHELLE

You don't have to explain.

Michelle notices a candle lit under a picture of Kyla.

MICHELLE

How you holding up?

TYLER

It wasn't right for her to die.

Tyler starts tearing up.

TYLER

I was going to ask her to marry me, as soon as I

could of afforded a ring.

Michelle hugs him.

MICHELLE

I'm so sorry.

They pull back from eachother.

TYLER

The detectives told me that cause of death was accidental

drowning.

MICHELLE

Tyler, she was drunk. She could of passed out.

TYLER

Water had been splashed onto the floor.

MICHELLE

She could of stood up, and lost her balance. She could of

hit her head, and passed out.

Tyler starts crying.

TYLER

She's gone. Kyla's gone.

Michelle hugs him.

MICHELLE

It will be OK.

EXT. CEMETARY – DAY'S LATER

The funeral for Kyla is just ending.

PRIEST

They start lowering Kyla's casket into the six feet hole.

Kyla's parents cry furiously.

CASSIE

Hi. Did I scare you?

MICHELLE

doing here? You're here everyday!

CASSIE

I know.

MICHELLE

What are you doing here everyday?

CASSIE

Truth is, I'm debating on if I want this skirt, or not.

Cassie holds up a skirt.

MICHELLE

Oh. Sorry.

CASSIE

No, if I were you, I'd also be curious.

Michelle looks at the skirt.

MICHELLE

Cass, it's a beautiful skirt. Why don't you get it?

CASSIE

I don't know if I really like it. I come in here everyday,

trying it on, seeing if I want it.

Michelle goes silent.

CASSIE

Michelle, is everything OK?

MICHELLE

Did you know Kyla Friese?

CASSIE

What about her?

MICHELLE

She's dead.

CASSIE

She's dead?

MICHELLE

She drowned. In her bathtub.

CASSIE

Oh my God.

MICHELLE

I know.

CASSIE

Was it an accident?

MICHELLE

Everyone thinks so. But, I don't.

They get silent.

CASSIE

Well, I guess I'll buy the skirt.

MICHELLE

Nice seeing you, again.

CASSIE

Yeah, maybe we can get together sometime.

MICHELLE

Yeah, that sounds great.

CASSIE

Well, I have to get to work.

MICHELLE

CASSIE

Bye.

Cassie walks away.

INT. HALLWAY – EVENING

The apartment door opens and Michelle steps in. She walks down the hall and into a room.

INT. LIVING ROOM

Michelle comes in. A piece of paper is on the table, Michelle picks it up and reads it, it says; ‘Michelle, gone to the club, luv Grace'.

Michelle puts the paper down and slumps down onto the sofa. Her mobile rings and she takes it out of her pocket. The mobile screen says; ‘KYLA HOME'. Michelle looks baffled. She answers it.

MICHELLE

Hello?

TYLER

Michelle its Tyler.

MICHELLE

What're you doing at Kyla's house?

TYLER

How'd you know?

MICHELLE

I've got her number on my phone.

TYLER

Oh right… well I just can't…

MICHELLE

I understand. Should I come around there?

TYLER

Sure I suppose.

INT. KYLA'S APARTMENT

A knock comes on the door and it slowly creaks open. Michelle stands in the doorway. She looks in and sees Tyler sat on the floor. He looks in a very bad state.

MICHELLE

Tyler are you OK?

TYLER

I'm fine.

MICHELLE

Do you think you should be here?

TYLER

What does it matter?

Michelle leans down next to him.

TYLER'S POV: We see Michelle and then it evolves into Kyla's face.

KYLA/MICHELLE

What's wrong…?

Tyler leans out and kisses her. Kyla pulls away and turns back into Michelle.

MICHELLE

Tyler! I have a boyfriend!

Tyler buries his face in his hands.

TYLER

I'm sorry, I'm just so confussed.

MICHELLE

We're all confussed.

TYLER

Why Kyla!? Why her!?

MICHELLE

I don't know.

Tyler stands up.

TYLER

I have to go to the bathroom.

Tyler walks down to the hallway.

INT. BATHROOM

Tyler walks in and looks at the bathtub. A look of sadness comes across his face.

The reaper appears behind him but then disappears again. Tyler kneels down and leans on the bathtub. He reaches into the tub but then backs a bit and looks up at the ceiling. He sees a hangman's noose hanging from the curtain rail. He falls back onto something black. He looks up to see the reaper looking down on him.

TYLER

Who is that?

The reaper grabs him by the neck crushing his voice box.

INT. LIVING ROOM

Michelle is leant on the side and looks unhappy. She hears gurgling from the bathroom.

INT. BATHROOM

The reaper has managed to put Tyler's head through the noose. The noose tightens.

We see that Tyler's feet are stood on the edge of the tub. Then they are knocked off and his body falls with a snap. His body hangs there. Michelle hurries in and screams at the sight of his body. She quickly runs out of the bathroom.

EXT. CAR PARK

Michelle runs out and runs into Graham.

MICHELLE

GRAHAM!

GRAHAM

What's wrong?

MICHELLE

Graham, what're you doing here?

GRAHAM

I went to Tyler's to see how he was, he wasn't there so I thought

he'd be here.

MICHELLE

He's… he's dead…

GRAHAM

What? How?

MICHELLE

He's hung from the rail in the bathroom.

GRAHAM

Oh my god.

INT. MICHELLE'S APARTMENT

Michelle and Graham walk in.

GRAHAM

The cops should be there by now.

Yeah.

Graham kisses her and leaves. Michelle stands in the hallway but then goes to the door.

INT. HALLWAY

Graham is walking down the hall. Michelle's head pops out.

MICHELLE

Actually, I may need some company.

Graham smiles and walks back into the room. The door closes.

Michelle jumps out of bed.

MICHELLE

Little? LITTLE? All our friends are dying exactly

one year after it happened!

MILES

Michelle I felt…

Three people die accidentally exactly one year

after we murdered a classmate, what a coincidence. This was planned! I don't know who planned it but…

DOMINIC

Michelle you're just full of bullshit theories!

Just do it!

DOMINIC

Whatever.

We'll do it here maybe?

be together, because Ryan, the guy we killed last year is killing is. I don't think so.

GRAHAM

Then what then Michelle? What can we do?

MICHELLE

If we throw a party. We have to have an excuse.

She keeps viewing behind her and waits for the reaper but she runs backwards into the reaper. She screams and the reaper bangs her up against the wall. She falls onto the floor a little dazed. The reaper grabs her and drags her along the floor. He picks her up at the top of the stairs just as a barely alive Dean is stumbling up the stairs. He throws Grace down and she knocks into Dean.

He falls back and through a glass window.

Hello?

MICHELLE

Elsa, you OK?

ELSA

No, I can't stop thinking of Gavin.

MICHELLE

Everyone is going through a tough time.

ELSA

It's so weird that Kyla, Tyler, and Gavin died,

in what a week?

MICHELLE

That's why you should come over tonight.

ELSA

Why?

MICHELLE

Well, it's Grace's birthday. I'm trying to

gather everybody up at my place.

ELSA

I can't go.

MICHELLE

Elsa, why not? It can also be a rememberance for Kyla, Tyler, and Gavin.

ELSA

I don't know.

MICHELLE

Please? It'll mean a lot.

ELSA

God. When?

MICHELLE

Great. How about tonight, six?

ELSA

Sure.

Elsa puts down the phone.

INT. LIVING ROOM

Michelle puts down the phone.

MICHELLE

Elsa's coming.

Grace is laying on the couch.

GRACE

How are we going to get Dominic, and Miles over here?

MICHELLE

Dom, I think he might come. Miles?

GRACE

I think he might be mad at me.

MICHELLE

I'll see if Graham could talk Miles into coming.

GRACE

Where is Graham?

MICHELLE

Working. I am heading over to the market, go get food, and a cake.

GRACE

OK.

MICHELLE

You wanna go with me?

GRACE

No, I guess I'll clean up the place.

MICHELLE

OK.

Michelle walks out of the living room.

MICHELLE(O.S.)

Be back in a hour.

INT. MARKET

Michelle pushes a full shopping cart up to the check-out stand.

VOICE

Paper, or plastic?

MICHELLE

Paper.

Michelle looks at the clerk. It's Cassie.

MICHELLE

Cassie?

CASSIE

Michelle.

MICHELLE

You work here to?

CASSIE

It's my second day.

MICHELLE

You work two jobs?

CASSIE

I have to. I'm paying for school, bills,

and rent is not cheap.

MICHELLE

I know what you mean. I tried to get a hold

of you.

CASSIE

My cell has been turned off all day.

MICHELLE

That explains.

CASSIE

What's up? Everything OK?

MICHELLE

Yeah, I just wanted to see if you wanted to come over my place. It's my roommates birthday, and some friends were coming over.

CASSIE

Is there going to be alcohol?

MICHELLE

Plenty.

CASSIE

Sure. After this shift I have quick class at the university. Then, I have a shift at the resturant.

MICHELLE

Boy! Your day is packed.

CASSIE

I know. I feel like my parents.

MICHELLE

But, you'll be over, right?

CASSIE

Of course. Time?

MICHELLE

Around six. Or whatever time you can come.

CASSIE

Great.

MICHELLE

Great.

EXT. APARTMENT - DUSK

We see the sun setting in the background.

INT. LIVING ROOM

Music plays quietly throughout the house. Elsa, Michelle, and Grace are sitting on the couch.

MICHELLE

You comfortable, Elsa?

ELSA

Yeah.

On the table is Kyla, Tyler, Gavin, and Dean's pictures framed. Candles lit next to the pictures.

ELSA

Miles coming?

MICHELLE

I hope.

INT. HALLWAY

The front door opens. Dominic, and Miles step in.

DOMINIC

I don't know why I'm here.

GRAHAM(O.S.)

Then why you here?

In front of them, stands Graham.

DOMINIC

I am not here for you asshole. I came to

respect Grace's birthday.

MILES

Hell, I came ‘cause I need to get drunk

tonight.

INT. KITCHEN

Michelle, Grace, and Elsa enter.

MICHELLE

Elsa, you wanna drink?

ELSA

I'd like a glass of water, please.

MICHELLE

No beer? No soda?

ELSA

No, just water please.

Grace looks at Elsa, curiously.

GRACE

Girl, c'mon.

ELSA

C'mon what?

GRACE

Lighten up a little.

MICHELLE

It would help Elsa.

ELSA

I'll try, OK?

Dominic suddenly rushes up to Grace, and gives her a hug.

DOMINIC

Happy birthday, Grace.

GRACE

Thank you.

Dominic looks over at Michelle.

DOMINIC

Michelle.

Dominic walks out.

ELSA

So, is anyone else coming?

MICHELLE

I friend Cassie should be coming.

VOICE(O.S.)

Michelle.

Michelle turns her head to her right, and looks down the dark hallway. In the hallway stands the reaper! Michelle gasps.

MICHELLE

Holy shit!

GRACE(O.S.)

What!? Michelle!?

Michelle turns to Grace, and Elsa. They look at her confussed. Michelle quickly turns back to the hallway, the reaper is gone.

ELSA

Michelle? You OK?

MICHELLE

Yeah.

GRACE

C'mon guys, lets go listen to some music.

CASSIE(O.S.)

Ladies.

They turn to see Cassie entering. She looks a little drunk.

CASSIE

What's up?

MICHELLE

Cassie. Hey.

Grace shakes Cassie's hand.

GRACE

Grace Cortz.

CASSIE

Right, birthday girl. I'm Cassie Keller.

ELSA

Hey, Cass.

CASSIE

Elsa, sweetie. How ya holding up.

ELSA

MICHELLE

the mood.

Grace smiles.

GRACE

I like you. You wanna drink?

CASSIE

Sure birthday girl. What you got?

GRACE

Anything.

CASSIE

Just a beer.

Grace walks to the fridge.

CASSIE

Wow, she is nice.

Grace comes back with her beer.

CASSIE

Thanks.

Cassie grabs the beer.

CASSIE

Anyone I can hook up with at this party?

Elsa points behind Cassie.

ELSA

He might be intrested.

Cassie turns to see Dominic.

INT. LIVING ROOM

The music is louder than ever. Cassie, and Dominic are talking on the couch. Elsa, and Miles are talking on another couch. Michelle, Graham, and Grace are standing by the stairs.

GRACE

This party blows.

MICHELLE

Hey, it's just a way to keep everyone safe.

GRACE

Still blows.

GRAHAM

We should of invited more people.

MICHELLE

That would of been a bad idea.

GRAHAM

Why is that?

MICHELLE

We don't wanna put more people's lives at

stake.

Michelle stretches her neck, she glances up at the landing. The reaper is standing on it! Michelle's face drops. The reaper walks off into the hallway.

MICHELLE

I'll be right back.

GRAHAM

Where you going?

MICHELLE

Just to check something out.

Michelle walks up the stairs.

INT. HALLWAY

Michelle walks down the empty hallway. No sight of anyone. She turns to a closed door, and opens it.

INT. KITCHEN

Elsa enters, she walks over to the fridge, and opens it. No more beer.

GRAHAM(O.S.)

What's the matter?

Elsa closes the fridge, and turns to see Graham enter.

ELSA

No more beer.

GRAHAM

Really?

ELSA

Yeah. Where's the nearest market?

GRAHAM

Down the highway.

ELSA

Great, I'm going to go get some beer.

GRAHAM

You going alone?

ELSA

Yeah. Why?

GRAHAM

You think you're going to be OK?

ELSA

I know I'm going to be OK. OK?

GRAHAM

OK, just asked.

ELSA

Sorry, I didn't mean it like that.

GRAHAM

It's fine.

ELSA

I'm just so bitter with everything going on.

GRAHAM

Me too.

ELSA

I'm just frustrated.

GRAHAM

It's OK, I understand.

ELSA

Well, I'll be back.

EXT. OUTSIDE

We see a car leave.

INT. LIVING ROOM

Michelle walks back down the stairs. She returns to her spot by Grace. Graham returns.

GRAHAM

Well, Elsa went off to go get more beer.

MICHELLE

What!?

GRAHAM

Don't worry, she'll be fine. Everything

is fine.

MICHELLE

Oh my God. How could you do that?

GRAHAM

She just went to get beer. It's night like

she's going to die.

EXT. HIGHWAY

Elsa's car rushes down an empty highway. Woods are on each side of the highway.

INT. CAR

Elsa clicks on the radio. Some hokey kids song is on.

ELSA

Yuck!

Elsa turns the station to a heavy metal station. Elsa starts bobbing her head.

INT. MARKET

Elsa enters.

EXT. HIGHWAY

Elsa's car rushes back down the hallway.

INT. CAR

In the backseat we see the beer. The music is playing. Elsa starts singing along with it.

CLOSE UP-Elsa's face.

For once, Elsa looks happy. We PAN upwards to see the reaper sitting in the passanger seat! Elsa looks over there, and screams! The reaper grabs her head, and slams it into the steering wheel!

EXT. HIGHWAY

We hear the breaks slam. Elsa's car stops.

INT. CAR

Elsa slowly picks up her head. She has a little gash mark on her cheek.

She looks over towards the passenger side. The reaper is gone. Elsa looks around outside. The highway is empty, no cars in sight.

Elsa reaches for the handle. The reaper suddenly pops out from the backseat, and grabs Elsa! Elsa screams, and punches him!

ELSA

Get away fucker!

Elsa opens the car door, and runs out.

EXT. HIGHWAY

Elsa runs over to the side. She turns around to the car. We can't see the reaper in the car.

ELSA

Help me! Someone help!

She looks around, a car is coming.

ELSA

Help!

Suddenly the reaper grabs Elsa from behind, and they fall down the hill!

EXT. HILL

We see Elsa rolling down the hill. She screams. She falls at least ten feet at the most.

EXT. WOODS

She hits the ground, hard. She moans in pain. She crys. She grabs hold of a tree, to help her up.

Elsa is bleeding from her nose. Her hair is wild, she has dirt all over her face. She grabs her arm, as if it's broken.

She looks around for the reaper. No sign of him, just trees all around. We PAN around Elsa five times, when we stop, we see the reaper standing next to her! Elsa screams, she is rammed up against the tree.

ELSA

Don't.

The reaper starts choking her. Elsa gags for air. Elsa hits him. The reaper tosses her to the ground. Her face goes in the dirt. She starts coughing.

She looks up, the reaper is gone again. Nowhere in sight. Elsa stands up, she looks around. No one. She's afraid, she doesn't know what to do.

Suddenly she runs fast, passing trees.

EXT. HILL

Elsa climbs the hill. She looks back. Still no sign of the reaper. She runs up the hill faster.

EXT. HIGHWAY

Elsa's car is still there. A diesel truck is coming down the highway in the distance. Elsa runs back onto the highway. She looks, and still see's an empty highway. She turns the other way, and see's the diesel.

ELSA

Help!

She rushes towards her car. She waves towards the diesel, trying to flag him down.

ELSA

Help me!

The driver doesn't seem to notice her. The diesel is coming closer.

ELSA

Fucking help me!

Suddenly the reaper pops out from behind Elsa, and shoves her hard. Elsa hits the pavement of the highway hard.

We hear the diesel slam on his breaks. Elsa looks up, too late the disel slams into her. Elsa is no more.

INT. APARTMENT

Michelle and Graham are talking.

GRAHAM

The party is going good. Right?

MICHELLE

Yeah, I guess.

Michelle looks nervous.

GRAHAM

Michelle, what's wrong?

MICHELLE

Elsa should be back by now!

GRAHAM

Stop worrying, she'll be fine!

MICHELLE

How can you tell me to stop worrying? My friends

Are all dying!

GRAHAM

We don't know whether or not Elsa's dead.

MICHELLE

I didn't mean that!

GRAHAM

I know exactually what you mean!

MICHELLE

Don't yell at me!

GRAHAM

OK, let's stop this.

Cassie walks to them.

CASSIE

Hey, people.

GRAHAM

Hey Cassie.

MICHELLE

How you holding up?

CASSIE

Fine, I need more beer!

She smiles.

GRAHAM

Elsa, went to go get more beer.

CASSIE

No rush. We have all night.

MICHELLE

We do, don't we.

CASSIE

I'm thinking about hooking up with your friend Dominic.

A spark of electricity is heard and the lights all go out.

CASSIE

Oh my god.

GRACE

What the hell?

Grace comes storming down the stairs.

DOMINIC

Don't worry; it's just the electricity!

Where's your power box?

MICHELLE

It's down the hall, but you shouldn't go alone!

DOMINIC

Well come with me then.

Dominic walks out of the room. The rest look at each other and follow.

INT. HALLWAY

Dominic walks to the power box and pulls it open. It opens easily.

GRACE

Michelle that was locked up.

Suddenly the reaper appears behind Dominic.

GRAHAM

DOM!!!

CASSIE

BEHIND YOU!

Dominic turns to the reaper. The reaper grabs him by the hair and thrusts his head up against the electrical box. His face fries and sparks fly. The onlookers scream.

The reaper holds his head to the circuits until his body goes limps. The reaper drops his body to reveal his burnt black face. Miles begins into the next room.

MILES

COME ON!!!

They all run into the other room hesitantly.

INT. LIVING ROOM

They all get in and Miles throws a bookcase in front of the door. The photo of the senior class falls onto the floor and the frame smashes. Michelle slowly bends down and picks it up. She looks at Ryan in the photo and all the people who have died.

Miles and Graham are constantly trying to block the doorway with stools, etc.

Grace comes over to Michelle.

GRACE

Michelle, what're you doing?

A tear rolls down Michelle's cheek.

GRACE

Michelle?

MICHELLE

What does he want?

GRACE

I don't know!

The door is now completely blocked. They all wait for something to happen.

CASSIE

Is he still out there?

Michelle turns around.

MICHELLE

No. No he isn't.

Zoom in on the reaper at the top of the stairs. Cassie screams. She runs towards the blocked door but the reaper appears in front of her. Suddenly a stool smashes over the reapers head and he falls down, behind him is Graham.

GRAHAM

Are you OK Cass?

CASSIE

Fine.

They look down at the reaper but he is gone.

GRAHAM

Shit.

Miles runs to the kitchen and opens a drawer of knives. He tips them onto the floor.

MILES

Grab one.

Miles picks a big one up. Graham goes and grabs one. Cassie and Michelle come over. Cassie picks one up but Michelle is hesitant.

MILES

Grace?

Grace comes and gets one.

GRAHAM

Michelle get one, it's for your own safety.

Michelle leans down and gets one. All by itself, the stove turns on. The reaper's hand grabs Miles and slams him down onto the burning stove. His shirt sets alight and he is sent running into and through the living room. The others jump out of the way to dodge him. The reaper picks Miles up and throws him through the window.

His body falls down to the ground burning.

Cassie screams. Fire has spread across the floor. The reaper looks at Michelle.

MICHELLE

Who are you?

REAPER

Ask Cassie.

The voice is Ryan's, the reaper pulls his hood back to reveal Ryan!

MICHELLE

Ryan?

CASSIE

Oh my god!

Graham and Grace look on confused.

RYAN

Oh don't act so surprised.

Ryan turns to Cassie and blows a kiss at her.

CASSIE

Why … why did you…?

RYAN

Why? WHY? They fucking killed me!

CASSIE

So then why are you here?

RYAN

Long story.

CASSIE

Well we've got time.

RYAN

Why don't you tell the rest of us your story? Why don't you tell them about us? Tell them I didn't kill Melody, tell them who really did!

Silence.

MICHELLE

Who… killed Melody?

RYAN

Go on Cass.

Cassie buries her face in her hands.

GRACE

Holy shit.

RYAN

Well Grace has worked it out.

GRAHAM

Cassie, it was… was…

CASSIE

That's right! I fucking killed her!

GRAHAM

You were screwing Cassie while with Melody!?

RYAN

Well, Cassie got around to.

MICHELLE

What do you mean?

Graham's face drops.

RYAN

That's right Graham fucked Cassie while with Michelle.

CASSIE

I also fucked Miles! And Tyler!

They all get quiet.

MICHELLE

So you two where in it together?

CASSIE

No, he went too far. Why couldn't you just stay dead?

RYAN

Well that's not a nice thing to say to your boyfriend.

CASSIE

All this would've never happened if he stayed dead.

MICHELLE

None of this would've happened if you didn't kill Melody!

RYAN

Thank you.

CASSIE

Oh fuck you! Fuck you all!

RYAN

Looks like you need the really sentence for murder!

GRACE

Shit! There's a fucking fire!

A bookcase is on fire.

Ryan begins to approach Cassie. But Michelle stabs her knife into his back. He turns to her and is about to punch when Graham pounces on him. They begin fighting roughly.

Grace runs upstairs.

GRAHAM

Michelle go!

Michelle stays.

GRAHAM

GO!

MICHELLE

NO!

GRAHAM

Get out of here!

Michelle finally runs to the door. She tries shifting all the things blocking the way but in the end just rams a stool through the weak wooden door. She climbs through the small hole.

INT. UPSTAIRS

Grace runs down the hall. She opens a door and runs in.

INT. ROOM

Grace huddles into the corner of the room.

INT. HALLWAY OUTSIDE APARTMENT

Michelle runs down the hall, Cassie running behind her.

Michelle gets to an elevator and begins pressing the button madly. The doors open and she steps in.

CASSIE

Michelle wait for me!

Cassie gets to the open doors. Michelle stops the doors from closing and grabs Cassie. She throws her down onto the floor and starts slamming her against the ground madly. She throws her into the elevator and Cassie falls into Ryan. Ryan disappears and a creak is heard. Michelle knows exactly what is going to happen. Cassie looks worried. Michelle steps back away from the elevator.

MICHELLE

Good riddance Cassie.

The elevator falls.

CASSIE

MICHEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLEEEEE!!!!

Her voice echoes then an eruption of fire and metal spews up from the basement and sends Michelle flying back.

Michelle stumbles up and feels a fire alarm. She sets it off and the alarm sounds. She runs back into her apartment.

INT. UPSTAIRS OF MICHELLE'S APARTMENT

A door opens and Grace slowly walks down the hallway, she looks behind her and walks towards the stairs, she crashes into Graham and they stumble into the banister, it cracks slightly. We hear an explosion.

GRACE

OOOHH, that was close.

GRAHAM

Yeah.

Suddenly the reaper's leg kicks the banister hard and it shatters. They fall back and down into the living room. They lie unconscious.

Michelle enters the room and walks over to them, she tries to wake them but they are out cold. Michelle shakes Graham harder.

MICHELLE

GRAHAM! WAKE UP!

RYAN(O.S.)

Michelle.

A chill comes across Michelle. Michelle slowly turns around. Ryan stands in front of her.

MICHELLE

Ryan?

RYAN

What?

Tears form in her eyes.

RYAN

Don't get all soft on me.

MICHELLE

How come I saw you those times, and you

dissapered like that. How'd you do that?

Ryan smiles.

RYAN

Michelle, you confussed?

MICHELLE

Huh?

RYAN

I'm dead! My soul won't rest until you guys pay for what you did to me!

Michelle turns away.

RYAN

C'mon Michelle, you really think somone could swap cubicles like that?

Michelle looks over at the fire that has now covered the walls.

RYAN

Michelle, did you really think you guys would

get away with this? With my death?

VIEW ON GRAHAM-His eyes slowly open.

RYAN

Tell me, is this how you expected it to end?

Michelle turns back to Ryan.

MICHELLE

No, I intend it to end much better.

Michelle runs into Ryan. They fall to the floor. Graham quickly gets up, and runs over to Ryan, and Michelle.

Graham pulls Michelle off of Ryan.

GRAHAM

Go get Grace out of here!

Michelle runs to Grace. Graham looks down to where Ryan was, but he is not there anymore. Graham's eyes open wide.

RYAN(O.S.)

Hey bitch!

MICHELLE(O.S.)

GRAHAM! BEHIND YOU!

Graham turns around, and Ryan quickly grabs his troat! Ryan lifts Graham, choking him.

Michelle is still trying to get Grace awake.

MICHELLE

Grace! C'mon!

Michelle thinks. She quickly slaps Grace, pretty hard. Grace eyes pop open.

Ryan is still choking Graham.

RYAN

Now you get to feel death!

Graham is struggling to breath.

MICHELLE(O.S.)

Leave him alone!

Michelle throws a glass vase at Ryan. It shatters on Ryan, Ryan drops Graham.

Grace starts coughing on the smoke.

GRACE

This place is going to come down!

Michelle turns to Grace, then back at Ryan. Ryan is once again, gone!

MICHELLE

Shit! Perfect!

GRACE

We need to get out of here!

Graham is gaging for breath. Grace grabs Michelle's hand.

GRACE

We gotta get out of here!

Michelle, and Grace walk to Graham.

MICHELLE

C'mon, let's go.

GRAHAM

Go without me.

MICHELLE

What!?

GRAHAM

Let me kill this ass! You guys GO!

EXT. OUTSIDE

Michelle, and Grace run out. We hear the sound of fire-trucks in the distance. Neighbor's rush to the girls. A lot more people from the burning building exit.

Flames on fire poke almost through every window of the building.

INT. HALLWAY

Graham walks down the hallway. One side is burning with flames. He starts choking on the smoke.

RYAN(O.S.)

Can't handle it?

Graham looks ahead to see Ryan. Ryan turns away, and enters the kitchen. Graham slowly follows.

INT. KITCHEN

The counter-top is a little on fire. Graham enters. No sign of Ryan.

GRAHAM

Bitch! Where are you!?

Suddenly Graham is knocked down by Ryan. Ryan kicks Graham.

RYAN

I thought maybe you, and me could of been long-time

buddies.

Ryan continues to kick him.

The fire is spreading towards the stove.

RYAN

I would of never have thought that Graham Corsch, the best fucking jock we had in high school was going to kill me! But, then again, killing you is..

Suddenly the stove catches on fire. The oven door explodes off, and slams into Ryan! Ryan fly's back into the fridge!

EXT. OUTSIDE

The fire fighters have arrived. The whole building is now on fire! Michelle, and Grace stand on the street, crying.

MICHELLE

Oh my God! You think Graham is OK?

Fire fighters start to hose the house with water. We hear a loud explosion!

Michelle jumps, and looks over at their apartment. The building is starting to break apart. The roof caves in.

GRACE

NOOOOOOO!!!!

MICHELLE

GRAHAM!!!!

An explosion takes out almost the whole half of the building! Michelle screams. They watch in terror as the house burns to the ground.

GRACE(O.S.)

MICHELLE!! LOOK!!

Off to the side we see Graham. He is outside! He is on the sidewalk, alive! Michelle's eyes widen.

MICHELLE

GRAHAM!!!!

Graham looks over at them, he starts running to them. He is coughing from the smoke. He reaches them. Michelle, and Graham hug.

MICHELLE

Oh my God!

Michelle starts crying hysterically.

MICHELLE

I thought I lost you!

GRAHAM

You didn't loose me.

MICHELLE

Ryan!

GRAHAM

No, he was in the house when it went down.

GRACE

Miles!

They turn to see Miles, his hand is wrapped. Grace hugs him.

EXT. OUTSIDE – DAWN

It is now early morning. The fire is gone, but the building is no more. A few fire fighters are still around.

Michelle, Graham, Grace, and Miles stand off, by the street.

GRACE

He's dead.

MICHELLE

It's all over, isn't it?

CUT TO BLACK!

The End?
