REVENANT By Oney Mendoza FADE IN: SILENCE and darkness. The only thing that can be heard is the sounds of BREATHING. MAN(OS) You do realize that we're questioning your insanity, right? I'm having a very difficult time understanding your story. (beat) I need you once more to explain to me what happened… what really happened. (beat) Please, we need you to communicate with us. Tell us your story… EXT. NIEGHBORHOOD – NIGHT THUNDER and Lightening pervade the night's sky. Rain pours down onto the suburban homes below. A pair of feet step into a puddle. REBECCA MYLES, 24, travels down the sidewalk. She is drenched from the heavy rain. She looks up toward the sky and watches the lightening. Rebecca walks toward a stunning two-story house. She opens the door and enters. SLAMMING the door behind her. Another strike of lightening followed by the roaring sound of THUNDER. All of the light shinning from within the windows of the houses become pitch black. INT. REBECCA'S ROOM Rebecca enters, SLAMMING the door behind her. She listens to the powerful STORM outside. She looks around her darkened room. She rushes toward a dresser. She angrily throws open a drawer and pulls out a pentagram that is linked onto a chain. She grips it in her hand and throws herself to the floor. She starts BANGING on the floorboards. INT. ART STUDIO LIZ HARDESTY, 22, looks up at an unusual art piece. She holds a glass of wine in her hand. She turns and looks around. She walks past groups of PEOPLE staring at the art that is exposed on the white walls. She smiles as she sees TREY BENNETT, 24, talking to a TALL MAN. She approaches them. Trey smiles at her. She listens to their CONVERSATION. Trey shakes the man's hand. TREY …I'll give you a call tomorrow. We'll discuss some kind of contract. The man leaves. Trey turns to Liz and kisses her. Liz hands him her glass of wine. He takes a sip. LIZ Did he make an offer? TREY Yeah. He made an offer on two of my pieces and one of James's. LIZ Where is James? I haven't seen him all night. Heather isn't here either. TREY He should be here. I've had a lot of offers for some of his pieces. A WOMAN approaches them. WOMAN Mr. Bennett, may I say that you are one of the most original artists that I've seen in the last five years. Trey smiles. TREY Oh, really? That's really kind of you to say. Liz walks away. She walks toward a group of PEOPLE standing next to another art piece. She listens to them DISCUSSING it. She smiles. She walks over toward a pair of glass windows and peers out. She watches the rain flood the gutters outside. A pair of hands reaches out and grabs Liz's back. Liz jumps and turns around. It's Rebecca. She looks like she's been crying for hours; mascara runs down her face. REBECCA You're James Grey's friend, right? LIZ Yeah –- REBECCA Where is he? LIZ He isn't here yet. Rebecca turns to leave. LIZ May I ask? Rebecca turns back to Liz. LIZ Who are you? If I see him I'll tell him you're looking for him. REBECCA I'm just someone he's been seeing. Rebecca hurries off. Liz stares blankly at Rebecca walking off. Liz turns around; standing behind her is HEATHER KLEIN, 22. She smiles at Liz. HEATHER Hey! There's a good crowd tonight. LIZ Yeah… Liz looks around for Rebecca, no sign of her. She turns to Heather and takes a drink from her glass. HEATHER Oh my God. I feel so bad because I took like forever getting ready. (beat) Oh yeah! Guess who I bumped into, it's so freakin weird. Brandon Reid. LIZ Brandon Reid? Your ex? HEATHER Yeah, I saw him when I was with James, it felt so awkward. LIZ Speaking of James, how is your prince charming doing tonight? HEATHER He hasn't acted like my prince charming for a while now, he's acting more like a toad. Heather LAUGHS. Liz forces herself to LAUGH. HEATHER He's just been into his art for the past few weeks. But, I love him. (beat) I'm his bitch. Heather LAUGHS. Liz smiles. HEATHER What's the matter? Why are you so quiet? Are you pissed or something? Your period? Heather CHUCKLES. LIZ No. I'm fine. Just…feeling strange right now. I'm really excited for James and Trey. HEATHER Me too. I hope he sells some pieces; he's spent a lot of money on paints and shit. We could really see that money back. (beat) Come on girl, talk. Are you sure you're okay? Having problems with Trey? LIZ No. We're actually doing well right now. HEATHER You better tell me sooner or later, because I know when my best friend is having problems. Heather smiles. HEATHER C'mon, lets go grab us a drink. Lets get drunk tonight. Heather and Liz walk off, Heather sees her boyfriend, JAMES GREY, 25, talking to Trey. He smiles at her. A COUPLE suddenly approaches the men. James looks around and sees Liz and Heather pouring themselves a glass of wine. He turns and sees PEOPLE admiring the art. HUSBAND Have you two been in the business long? TREY No…well, I can't speak for James, but I've just started a while back. WIFE Oh, well your very talented and so are you Mr. Grey. JAMES Thank you. It's great that my art is actually getting noticed by the public. HUSBAND It's not your art getting noticed and receiving observations, it's the creator of the art, you, that's getting the awareness of the public. JAMES Yeah, it honestly feels great that people are appreciating the art. TREY Truly does feel good to get some good feedback after we've spent a immense amount of money on the studio. WIFE Well, you two should be very proud of yourselves. James nods and looks around. His face suddenly drops. He sees Rebecca standing by a door. She is staring back at him. He rushes off toward her; reaching her as she takes a long drink from her glass of wine. JAMES I told you…we're over. REBECCA You've made me cry for an hour. No one has made me cry. I've shared things with you that nobody else knows. You know my secrets. JAMES Rebecca, please stop. I'm with Heather. Just leave. That will make everything better. James turns to leave. REBECCA You know what I can do to you, James. James stops and turns back to her. He walks back over to her, staring coldly at her. JAMES I know the shit that you do. Do I believe in it? No. You're just a weirdo with nothing better to do than fuck with me. REBECCA You'll soon see. (beat) I'll destroy you. I'll ruin your life in so many ways and you won't see any of it coming. JAMES Just stop it. You're sick. You need extreme help, Rebecca. REBECCA You know better than to tamper with me, James. Liz is watching James and Rebecca talk from a distance. She takes a drink from her wine. Heather rushes up to her and starts TALKING. James stares grimly at Rebecca, waiting for her to speak. She doesn't. JAMES If you don't leave right now, I'm calling the cops. Rebecca, this is your last warning. REBECCA You're going to have me arrested? JAMES Yes, for harassment. James turns around. Rebecca quickly MUMBLES something under her BREATH. Before James can walk away, Rebecca reaches out and grabs the back of his neck. James jumps. She lets go. He quickly shivers with fear and begins to BREATH hard. He turns back to see her grinning at him. She walks away. James slowly walks back over to Trey, who is drinking a glass of wine. He is sweating a lot. He falls forward, but Trey quickly helps him redeem his balance. Trey looks at him confused. James wipes away perspiration from his forehead. He turns back toward where Rebecca was, but she is no longer there. James continues to BREATH hard. He falls to his knees. Trey SAYS something to him, but the only sound that James hears is the sound of his BEATING heart. James falls flat on his face. His eyes slowly close. Liz and Heather suddenly rush toward him. They look down at him. The last thing that James sees is the concerned look on Heather's face. His eyes close. FADE TO BLACK INT. APARTMENT – BEDROOM James lays motionless on the spacious bed, in the dark. His BREATHING is very calm. His eyes twitch and then snap open. He GASPS loudly and jumps off the bed. He YELLS. He runs over to the light switch and CLICKS on the light. He looks around, BREATHING very uneven. He listens to the RAIN hit the window. The ceiling lights flicker, he looks up at the lamp, the light remains on. He YELLS again. He stands up against the door. The door suddenly pushes open, pushing James away. Trey, Liz, and Heather enter. James turns to them and YELLS like hell. All of them jump. TREY James! It's us. What the hell is wrong? James YELLS again. Heather approaches him, but he quickly turns around and grabs the digital clock from a small table. He forcefully throws it at them. Liz swiftly moves out of the way. It SLAMS into the wall. Liz hurries out of the room. HEATHER Babe! What is wrong!? Tears quickly fill James's eyes. The ceiling lights suddenly shut off. James YELLS. Trey and Heather jump. Heather approaches James again, he shoves her away. Heather SCREAMS. She looks back at Trey. TREY We need to get him to the hospital! Heather turns back to James and sees him CRYING in his arms. He looks up at Heather and YELLS. Heather BREATHS hard. HEATHER James. What is the matter? He YELLS again. Liz stands by the doorway, panicking. She looks at James YELL directly at her. LIZ What is happening!? Trey steps forward toward James. James quickly backs up. He turns around toward a dresser and rapidly pulls open a drawer. Trey, Liz, and Heather all try to see what he is doing. Liz slides her hand in and FLICKS the light switch. Nothing. LIZ The power must be out. They turn back to James, only to find him pointing a handgun at them. They all jump and GASP. He suddenly shoves the gun in his mouth. They all YELL. James continues to CRY. Heather rushes toward him. He PULLS the trigger. Blood and gore fly everywhere. The bullet SHATTERS the large mirror behind him. All of them SCREAM. James's body falls to the ground. Heather's face has spots of blood smeared across her face. She looks down at James's body and SCREAMS like hell. Trey moves forward and wraps his hands around Heather's eyes. He pulls her back. Liz turns and looks away, CRYING. She leaves. Heather rushes out of the room. Trey SIGHS loudly and looks depressed. He moves forward and looks down at his best friend's body. He quickly turns to his side and VOMITS. THUNDER drowns out every other sound. INT. FUNERAL HOME – DAY PEOPLE stand around, talking very QUIETLY. They glance over at Heather, who is CRYING down onto a closed casket. Trey approaches her from behind, looking very miserable. He puts a hand on her shoulder. She turns to him and wipes away tears. TREY Hey, how are you doing? HEATHER I can't be here. It's too depressing. I'm a mess right now…God I loved him. TREY He knew that…Believe me, he knew you loved him. He loved you and treated you like a princess. Heather speaks, holding back the tears. HEATHER I don't understand why. That haunts me Trey. It truly does, he killed himself and I know no reason why he did it. (beat) I don't even think he knew what he was doing. You know what I found? When I was cleaning some of his stuff out? I found an engagement ring, Trey. He was going to ask me to marry him. But, now… She begins to CRY. Trey grabs her and hugs her firmly. Liz approaches them, also teary eyed. She grabs Heather and hugs her. Heather settles her CRYING. LIZ I'm so sorry sweetie. Talk to me if you want. I've always been there for you. TREY You know we're here, Heather. HEATHER Thanks guys, I just want to be alone. I mean for the moment. LIZ Yeah, we understand. Trey and Liz walk away. Heather turns back to the casket and glances at the picture of James atop of the casket. She smiles at the picture. REBECCA(OS) So soon. So sad. Too bad. Heather quickly turns around and sees Rebecca walk over toward her; walking to the casket. She picks up the picture and looks at it. Heather eyes her suspiciously. REBECCA He wasn't that bad of a human. HEATHER Excuse me? Who are you? Rebecca SLAMS the picture down back onto the casket. She turns to Heather and lightly smiles. REBECCA I'm Rebecca Myles, you're Heather Klein? HEATHER Yes. How do you know that? REBECCA He talked about you a lot. HEATHER Who James? (beat) May I ask how you knew him? REBECCA He used to screw me… Heather's face drops. REBECCA(COUNT'D) You're the damn reason why he broke up with me in the first place. That's okay…we screwed even when he was with you. Tears fill Heather's eyes. She turns away, but then looks back at Rebecca, who looks pissed. REBECCA I envy you. You were no good for him, but he still wanted to be with you. He didn't want me anymore. That's why I had to make him see and now look where he is. (beat) I'm alive and he's rotting –- HEATHER Shut the fuck up right now. REBECCA Are you getting angry? HEATHER How could you do this? Why did you have to ruin today? Why did you have to tell me these things? All these things…especially today of all days. REBECCA You had to know what twisted things he was doing behind your back. HEATHER Get the fuck out of here! PEOPLE turn and look over at Rebecca and Heather. Rebecca smiles. She walks away from Heather and leaves. Heather starts CRYING. HEATHER I'm sorry…everyone. Trey and Liz rush over to Heather. She CRIES even louder. Liz grabs Heather's hand and forces her away from the casket and the staring PEOPLE. EXT. FUNERAL HOME Liz holds Heather in her arms as she CRIES. Trey follows behind. Heather sits down on the curve. TREY Who was that, Heather? Did she say who she was? HEATHER Rebecca Myles. I don't know who the hell she is. She was saying that her and James…oh God! She CRIES hysterically. Liz hugs her. LIZ I feel guilty now. Heather pulls away from Liz and wipes away tears. She stops her CRYING. She looks at Liz with very serious eyes. LIZ Two nights ago when…James killed himself, earlier that night a woman…her, she asked me if James was here. When I asked her who she was, she replied "someone who he's been seeing.". HEATHER Liz, how come you didn't tell me? LIZ Because I didn't know if it was true. I didn't want to say anything to you. I mean if it was true, I didn't want to hurt you… Liz begins to CRY. LIZ(COUNT'D) I don't know…I don't know why I didn't tell you, Heather. I'm so sorry. They all are SILENT. TREY Do you think James killed himself because of her? HEATHER She said she had to make him see. LIZ What does that mean? TREY So, she made him kill himself? That doesn't make sense. I'm lost, I don't understand. HEATHER I want to understand –- LIZ Maybe we could talk to her? I don't know, its just an idea. At least we'll understand more of the situation. (beat) I mean we're all disoriented and frightened right now. We're all under a lot of stress. Hopefully we don't go into a stage of psychosomatic disorder –- HEATHER Liz, shut up with all your psychology talk! Don't even try analyze my feelings! Save it for class because I'm definitely not in the mood! LIZ I'm sorry, I didn't realize. Heather stands up. She turns toward the parking lot. She wipes away more tears. HEATHER I'm sorry for blowing up at you. I just need to spend some time alone, I just need to calm down. INT. LIZ'S CAR Trey is driving, while Liz sits in the passenger's seat. Rain begins to splash onto the windshield. Both of them look sad. TREY Why did you have to do that? LIZ I already fill like shit, Trey. Don't rub it in my face. I said I was sorry, I was just trying to help her out. TREY I understand that babe, she's just vulnerable right now. You think we should invite her over? I don't think its right for her to be alone, right now. INT. APARTMENT – BEDROOM Heather enters and rushes toward the dresser. She pulls out all of the drawers and tosses them to the floor. She leans down and looks through a drawer of papers. She throws useless papers to the side. Tears begin to fill her eyes. She picks up a little post-it. She SIGHS. Written on the post-it is "R. Myles", underneath the name is a phone number. She stands up, grasping the post-it, she walks over to the cordless phone and DIALS a number. EXT. SIDEWALK Heather exits the building, stepping into the rain. She slides on a jacket, she feels on a bulge in her jacket-pocket. She bumps into someone and GASPS. BRANDON REID, 24, stands in front of her. Both of them look surprised. HEATHER Brandon, hi. BRANDON Hi, Heather. How're you doing? I read about James in the paper. HEATHER His wake was earlier this afternoon. What are you doing here, Brandon? BRANDON I was wondering if we could talk, you know? We didn't end our relationship with any closure and I want some closure between us. HEATHER Now, isn't a great time. BRANDON Please, I really want to talk to you –- HEATHER I have to go. I'm meeting someone at Trey and Liz's place. It's really important. BRANDON Okay, call me. HEATHER I will. Heather hugs Brandon, tightly. She lets go and walks over to her parked car. Brandon watches her drive off. INT. APARTMENT – LIVING ROOM Trey and Liz are watching TV. Liz rests her head against Trey's lap. Both are QUIET. TREY You think we should take her away from here? Take her on a vacation or something? LIZ I was just thinking that. It would get her mind off everything. TREY Lets take her camping. LIZ Baby, she hates the woods. She hates anything that deals with nature. KNOCKING is suddenly heard. Liz sits up, while Trey stands up and walks over to the front door. He pulls it open. Heather enters. Trey SHUTS the door. Heather looks around, cautiously. HEATHER Good, she's not here yet. LIZ Who's not here? HEATHER Please don't be pissed off, but I invited Rebecca to come here. TREY You serious? Why? HEATHER I didn't want her to come to my apartment and see all of James's things. (beat) I just want to ask her a few things. I didn't want to be alone with her, who knows what she is capable of doing. The doorbell CHIMES. Trey walks over to the door and opens it. Rebecca stands in the corridor. REBECCA Heather? She's here? TREY Yeah, come on in. Rebecca enters. Trey CLOSES the door. Rebecca looks over at Heather, who looks frightened. INT. KITCHEN All of them are seated at the table. All of them are uncomfortably SILENT. REBECCA So, why did you want me over here? HEATHER I just want to ask you a couple of things. I want some clarification. (beat) How long were you two seeing each other? REBECCA Does it matter? I mean we were seeing each other, that's all that matters, right? HEATHER I don't appreciate how you're treating me. You're the one who started it, I mean why did you tell me? It was probably better if I knew nothing about you two. REBECCA I just thought I'd be nice and tell you –- HEATHER No! Heather SLAMS her hands on the table. Liz and Trey look at each other, bewildered. HEATHER Because of you and the shit you've told me I feel I'm about to have a nervous breakdown and you show no emotion or any symphony for me! How do you think I should feel!? Happy!? Relieved that you told me the truth!? That's bullshit! REBECCA If you want my opinion, I don't really give a damn how you feel. The doorbell CHIMES again. Trey grabs Liz's arm and they both stand up and leave the kitchen. INT. LIVING ROOM It CHIMES again, Trey and Liz reach the door. Liz pulls open the door. It's Brandon. TREY Brandon… BRANDON How are you guys doing? LIZ Hey, it's been such a long time. BRANDON Is Heather here? She said she would be… TREY Yeah, come on in. Brandon enters, he CLOSES the door. Suddenly, we can hear Heather's YELLING. All of them look toward the kitchen. INT. KITCHEN Heather and Rebecca are YELLING at each other. Trey, Liz, and Brandon enter. Heather suddenly stands up and pulls something out of her pocket, from her jacket. It's a handgun, she quickly SHOOTS Rebecca in the head. Rebecca falls out of her seat, landing on the tiled floor. Liz SCREAMS. Both Trey and Brandon GASP. Heather realizes what she's done and drops the gun. She slowly begins to CRY and SCREAM. Brandon looks over at Heather. BRANDON What the fuck did you do that for!? LIZ Oh my God! There's so much blood! INT. LIVING ROOM – LATER Liz and Heather are sitting QUIETLY on the couch. Liz glances over at the kitchen to see Brandon wrapping Rebecca's body in a sheet. Blood seeps through it. Liz GAGS. She turns to Heather, who is in complete shock. LIZ Why did you have to do something like, Heather? You just made it worse for yourself, do you know that? HEATHER I had to…I just had to. LIZ You didn't have to, but you did it anyways. What's going to happen next? We're going to jail because of you? HEATHER I'm sorry I got you guys involved. LIZ Sorry doesn't cut it. Liz stands up and leaves Heather all by herself. Heather begins to CRY. HEATHER Please, don't leave me! I need you right now! Liz, please don't do this! INT. KITCHEN Trey is mopping up the blood. Brandon slides Rebecca's covered body over to the side. Both of them are in complete shock. BRANDON What are we going to do? TREY Dump the body I guess. We have to. BRANDON What happened? I don't understand, who was this girl? What did she do to Heather? TREY Brandon, now isn't the time to talk about it. Brandon glances over at Rebecca's covered body. He looks at all the blood that has soaked into the white sheet. He turns back to Trey. Behind Brandon, Rebecca's body suddenly sits up. The sheet begins to slide off Rebecca slowly, revealing the bullet wound on her forehead. Liz enters, she holds her hand around her eyes, purposely blocking the view of Rebecca's body. In her other hand she grips a pair of gloves. She walks over to Trey and hands it to him. Rebecca's body has risen to her feet. The sheet falls to the ground. Rebecca stands there, with her eyes shut. Blood from the bullet wound flows down her face, traveling all the way down her body and landing on the floor. Rebecca's eyes snap open. She walks toward them. Liz puts her hand up again, blocking her eyes. She turns around and walks toward the entrance. Brandon leans down and picks up the gun that Heather dropped. Liz continues walking and bumps into someone. She brings down her hand and SCREAMS like as she sees Rebecca is whom she bumped into. Trey and Brandon turn around and GASP. Liz picks up a chair from the kitchen table and swings it at Rebecca, hitting her. Rebecca falls to the ground, but she is still moving. Heather rushes in and sees. She SCREAMS. They all watch as Rebecca still moves around, trying to stand up. Trey grabs the handgun from Brandon and SHOOTS at Rebecca. EXT. ALLEYWAY – NIGHT Trey pulls open a dumpster lid. All of them look around. Trey looks inside the dumpster. Rats have infested the inside. Liz and Heather stand close by. They hear the rats SQUIRMING around. LIZ Rats… TREY That's good, hopefully they'll dispose of any evidence. Trey and Brandon lift up the body, which is now covered in the sheet again. Brandon slips, Heather rushes over and helps them drop the body into the dumpster. All of the look around, no one. Trey closes the dumpster. All of them still look as if they're in shock. BRANDON Does someone want to try to explain what happened back there? I mean, she was shot in the head. How was she still alive? TREY That's a question that can't be answered. Just leave it alone. FADE TO BLACK INT. APARTMENT – LIVING ROOM ONE MONTH LATER Heather is jogging on the treadmill, watching the TV. The news is on. She watches it. Suddenly, she stops running; staring directly at the TV with her mouth dropped, she GASPS. She hops off the treadmill and walks closer to the TV, a very concerned expression is across her face. She GASPS as a picture of Rebecca pops up on screen. REPORTER …police are taking this case to a further investigation and are questioning suspects that they believe might be involved. Once again, the body of twenty-four year old Rebecca Myles has been found, this is an inane murder that is leaving all of the authorities puzzled. She grabs the phone and DIALS a number. She waits. HEATHER Brandon if you get this message, I need you to either call me back, or meet me at my work at six. It's very important. Bye. INT. DINER A WAITRESS places plates of food in front of Trey and Liz; she leaves. TREY So, how are your classes? LIZ Semester is almost done, which is a lot of relief. I can't wait to get my degree…finally, after so long. Find anyone interested in the studio? TREY Just a few offers… They start eating. Trey looks over at Liz and smiles. TREY Listen, how would you like to get away from everything right now? LIZ Meaning… TREY I was thinking maybe you and I could plan a vacation to Hawaii or something. We could just spend some time together. LIZ This isn't really the perfect time… TREY Why, is something wrong? LIZ Its just…I want to wait, you know? Until they find her body and everything blows over… TREY I understand babe, don't worry. Trey glances at his watch. TREY Your class starts in half an hour. EXT. DINER Trey and Liz step out of the diner and walk toward Liz's car. Before they reach it, a car HONKS. They both look and see Brandon in his Yukon, he rolls down the window. Trey and Liz walk to the SUV. TREY Brandon, hey. BRANDON Hey. Did you guys read the paper by chance today? TREY No, why? What's wrong? BRANDON They found her body, this morning. LIZ Oh my God… TREY What're they saying? BRANDON Not much, but the only suspects they have are the crazies on the streets, they're saying the city is full of them. A car appears behind Brandon's and HONKS at him to move. TREY Come by tonight or tomorrow. Bring Heather with you, okay? We should talk. BRANDON Okay, bye guys. LIZ Bye, Brandon. Brandon's SUV takes off. Trey and Liz look at each other, confused. Trey kisses her. TREY I've got to get to the studio, I have to move everything into storage. Liz looks at him, baffled. TREY Are you okay? LIZ I'll be fine. Bye, babe. They kiss. INT. ART STUDIO It is lonely and SILENT. Trey walks in, carrying two art pieces wrapped in a plastic covering. He moves toward a corner and sets them down next to more art pieces. Through an open window, a strong blast of wind enters, knocking over papers. Trey turns around and watches the papers fall slowly to the ground. Trey walks over and stores some art in boxes and carefully tapes the box shut. He stacks a few boxes on top of each other. He grabs his keys from a nearby table. He walks slowly toward the entrance doors. He suddenly jumps as a MAN BANGS on the glass door. Trey opens the door. MAN I understand that this place is up for sale? EXT. SIDEWALK Trey walks through the crowded sidewalks of business PEOPLE. He looks up at the sky, the rain clouds are moving in. He looks at the jammed pack streets. Cars impatiently HONK at each other. SOMEONE suddenly walks into him. Trey moves around him and continues walking. Trey suddenly stops and turns around. He GASPS and looks very mystified. Behind him, standing still in the crowds of PEOPLE is Rebecca. There is no bullet wound. She stares back at Trey. He suddenly stops in his tracks. He continues looking at Rebecca, still very confused. Another PERSON suddenly bumps into him. He turns to see a MAN, walking around him. Trey quickly turns back to Rebecca, she is still there. Still staring at Trey. PEOPLE begin to block his view of her. He tries to look for her, but he can't see her anymore. INT. UNIVERSITY – CLASSROOM The PROFESSOR is standing at the podium, TALKING away. Liz sits in the first row, listening very carefully. She jots down notes in a journal. INT. CORRIDOR Liz walks down the corridor, shoving books into her backpack. She drops her pen, she leans down and picks it up. Liz's face drops. She wildly stares at something. Her face turns into pure fright. Standing at the end of the corridor is Rebecca, she quickly turns around and exits through the doors. Liz rushes down the corridor, exiting the same doors Rebecca did. EXT. CAMPUS Liz rushes up concrete steps and looks around. No sign of Rebecca, only the smiling faces of students. Liz continues to look around. From behind Liz, two hands reach out and grab her. Liz SCREAMS and quickly turns around. Rebecca stands right in front of her! Liz turns around and runs like hell away from her. EXT. STREET – DUSK The sun is slowly setting above the traffic jammed streets. We focus on a Yukon, Brandon's SUV. Through the windshield, Brandon sits behind the steering wheel, bored to death. With all the traffic ahead, he isn't moving. He digs into his pocket. INT. YUKON Brandon pulls out his cell phone. He puts it up to his ear and listens to Heather's message. He tosses the cell phone to the passenger's seat. He looks ahead and is surprised that the traffic is moving forward. He pushes on the gas pedal and moves forward, he looks to his side and looks onto the sidewalks. He GASPS. He sees Rebecca standing on the sidewalk, grinning at him. Brandon looks confusingly at her. He starts BREATHING hard. She starts walking along the sidewalk at a slow pace, following Brandon. Brandon turns his attention back to the windshield and YELLS. He slams on the BREAKS. EXT. STREET Before coming to a stop, the Yukon SLAMS into a car. Both vehicles stop. Brandon quickly steps out from his SUV. He looks very shaken. He looks over toward the sidewalk, but Rebecca isn't there anymore. SOMEONE very angrily steps out from the car in front and approaches Brandon, YELLING at him. INT. BAR MUSIC is playing and PEOPLE are dancing, while Heather stands behind a counter, serving drinks. She takes a shot of Vodka and downs it. She continues mixing drinks at a very fast and professional pace. She glances at her wristwatch. She turns to a WOMAN, also pouring drinks. HEATHER I'm taking my break. Heather slides her apron off and throws it to the ground. She walks around the counter, walking toward the exit. She pulls a box of cigarettes out from her back pocket. EXT. BAR Heather exits and walks toward the curve and takes a seat. She lights a cigarette. She looks down the sidewalk and sees absolutely no one. Night has fallen. She checks her wristwatch again. She takes another drag from her cigarette. She looks very impatient at the moment. Raindrops suddenly begin to fall on her. Heather takes one last drag from the cigarette and flicks it in the street. She stands up and walks back inside. INT. BAR Heather walks past a group of drunken PEOPLE. She glances at her wristwatch again as she moves towards a table. She takes a seat. She still looks very frightened and anxious. She pulls her cell phone out from her pocket and DIALS a number. No answer. She agitatedly tosses the cell phone onto the table. To the side of Heather, PEOPLE begin to dance to another song. She rests her shoulders against the table, knocking her cell phone to the floor. She leans over to pick it up. While leaning over, emerging from the crowds of dancing people is Rebecca, looking over at Heather. She moves a few steps closer toward the table. Heather picks up the cell phone and sets it on the table. She looks to her side and finally notices Rebecca. Heather's face drops and turns into sheer terror. She stands up from the table, not taking her eyes off Rebecca. Rebecca continues to look at Heather with a very disgusted look on her face. Heather takes a step closer toward Rebecca; she remains still. BRANDON(OS) Hey! Heather SCREAMS and turns around. It's Brandon. She quickly turns back and sees Rebecca is gone. Heather pulls on Brandon's shirt and leads him into a corridor. INT. CORRIDOR A lot more SILENCE, but less spacious; Heather and Brandon walk toward the end of the corridor. Both look a little scared. Heather grabs Brandon and hugs him. BRANDON What's the matter? HEATHER Nothing… BRANDON You look hella scared. Did something happen? HEATHER Yeah…they found her body –- BRANDON I know I read it in the paper. I tried to call your cell, but I couldn't get through. I've already told Trey and Liz. HEATHER I need to talk to all three of you. It's…just strange. BRANDON How about after work we go see Trey and Liz? You could tell us because I need to tell you guys something too. HEATHER Yeah. I need to get back to work, my break ended a while ago. INT. APARTMENT – LIVING ROOM Liz enters and closes the door. She looks around, pitch black. She FLICKS on a switch and the room lights up. She throws her backpack and purse on the couch, along with her drenched jacket. Something DROPS to the floor. Liz looks to her side and moves toward a closed door. INT. ROOM Trey is sitting on a stool, painting on a board. The door opens and Liz steps in. He turns to her and throws the paintbrush down. Liz walks over to him and kisses him. TREY Before you tell me that it was just my imagination, I need you to listen to me. Maybe you can help me understand something. Liz pulls up another stool next to Trey. LIZ What? What happened, Trey? TREY Well, after I had a meeting with someone who was interested in the studio, I was walking down the sidewalk, coming home…Liz, I saw Rebecca. (beat) I wasn't daydreaming…I don't daydream. LIZ You're not lying to me, are you? TREY No, why? LIZ I saw her too. After one of my classes, I was in the hallway and…she was there, staring at me. I thought I was just seeing things. I've been tense for the last few weeks. TREY This is too weird. I don't understand –- LIZ Maybe we both shared a common illusion of her? My Professor says it is possible. TREY I've just been very stressed today. LIZ Don't be baby. We just…saw it in our head. That's the only realistic scenario there is. (beat) As much as I hate to say it, she's dead, we killed her. Trey grabs her and kisses her. They stand up and shove the stools out of the way. They continue kissing romantically. Trey slides off Liz's sweater, exposing her bra underneath. Trey kisses her neck while Liz enjoys it. He moves down to the top of her chest; Liz MOANS with pleasure. Liz slides off Trey's shirt as they slowly move toward the floor, still kissing in a very sexual manner. INT. BEDROOM – LATER Trey and Liz lay on the bed, underneath the sheets. Both lay asleep. Rebecca stands at the foot of the bed, staring angrily down at them. Trey rolls onto his side, but the sounds of FOOTSTEPS make his eyes snap open. He quickly sits up and looks around. No one. He listens, no more footsteps, just pure SILENCE. He looks over at Liz, who is peacefully sleeping. He looks over toward the open bedroom door. He GASPS as a blurred FIGURE stands at the end of the hallway. Trey squints his eyes and hops off the bed. He walks toward the bedroom door and peers out into the hallway. No one. INT. HALLWAY Trey slowly enters and looks around. No one. He listens, only SILENCE. He passes a closed door and hears a loud THUD from inside. Trey stops and turns around. Reaching the door, Trey grips the doorknob and pushes it open. He looks inside the darkened room. Nothing. Trey reaches his hand in and CLICKS on the light. No one, only an open window. INT. ROOM Trey quickly walks over toward the window and SLAMS the window shut. He looks around and without hesitation, he walks back toward the door. He CLICKS off the light and is ready to leave –- VOICE(OS) Trey… Trey quickly CLICKS on the light and looks around. No one. He turns around and leaves the room. INT. BEDROOM Trey enters and SLAMS the door, shut. He quickly locks the door. He turns to see Liz, sitting up. She looks at him, baffled. LIZ That's the first, I've ever seen you lock our bedroom door. She smiles. LIZ(COUNT'D) Where were you? I called you. TREY That was you? LIZ Yeah, it was me. Who else would it be? Trey walks over toward the bed and lays back down. Liz rolls onto her side and holds Trey's hand. LIZ Are you okay? TREY Fine. I just had to go close a window I left open. Liz rests her head against his chest, closing her eyes. Trey stares at the ceiling, thinking. INT. GARAGE – DAY Brandon is working on his SUV, attaching a new headlight. Trey appears at the open garage door. He walks in. TREY Brandon… Trey walks over toward the front of the SUV. Brandon gently puts his tools down on the floor. He stands up. BRANDON Hey, what's up? What're you doing here? Trey looks at the damaged area on the SUV. TREY Oh damn, what happened? BRANDON Just a little accident yesterday afternoon. Taking it to the shop later today. (beat) So… TREY Oh, I wanted to ask you something about Rebecca. BRANDON What? TREY I've been meaning to ask you something… Brandon nods. TREY(COUNT'D) …and I was just really curious if you've told anyone? Have you kept everything quiet? BRANDON Dude, you think I would tell? I wouldn't do that…I wouldn't risk getting caught. TREY Well, thank you for that. I appreciate that, we all do. I'm so sorry that we got you involved in the first place. (beat) Liz and I want to invite you over tonight for dinner. Heather is coming, she needed to speak to us anyways. Will you come? BRANDON Yeah…I need to tell you guys something also. EXT. APRTMENT BUILDING – NIGHT Night has fallen again. The sky is clear with bright starts and a full moon. Trees sway in the light breeze. Through a window on the fourth floor, we can see Trey, Liz, Heather, and Brandon sitting at a table, eating. INT. APARTMENT – KITCHEN All of them are done eating. Heather takes a long drink from her glass. Brandon smiles at Liz. BRANDON That was really good, Liz. LIZ Thank you. Heather, are you okay? HEATHER What? Fine, it was really good. Thank you for having me over for dinner. Heather smiles. BRANDON Liz, I wanted to ask you a question that I think you might know. (beat) Can guilt or depression…or even stress cause the mind to see things? LIZ Do you mean nightmares? BRANDON Not really, I've been seeing…weird things during the day. LIZ If you're suffering from major depression, your mind goes into a stage where you can begin to see objects, it can either be a delusion or hallucination –- HEATHER Brandon, what are you seeing? BRANDON This is going to sound extremely dumb and immature to you guys, but I saw Rebecca. Heather stares at him, confused. Brandon turns to see Trey and Liz, both have the same expression across their faces as Heather. HEATHER I also saw her…when I was at work. I thought I was daydreaming –- LIZ I saw her. I saw her when I was at school, she was in the hallway and then I saw her outside on campus…she was standing behind him. BRANDON What does this mean? Liz turns to Trey. LIZ Baby, didn't you see her also? TREY Yeah, outside the studio –- HEATHER How is that possible? All of us saw her? Isn't that a little weird to any of you? TREY Is it possible that we all shared a same delusion? LIZ Yeah…I mean it rarely happens…but it has happened before. (beat) We're all completely stressed out, that's it. I mean that's the only other solution that sounds rational. BRANDON What if we're all going crazy? LIZ Don't jump to conclusions. We're not insane, we're very much sane. BRANDON Well, I don't think that it was likely for all of us to have seen her because we're stressed out. HEATHER Maybe she's still alive… LIZ No. That isn't possible. We saw her die, we…dumped the body, she's dead. Rebecca Myles is dead. What are you guys thinking? People die and return from the dead? No, that doesn't happen…at least not in the world I live in. HEATHER I have been very stressed out and when I heard about Rebecca's body being found I even got more stressed out. LIZ See? It's all mental. It's all in the head. Anyone else what to acknowledge that it could be just stress? TREY I guess I've been stressed out. I've been trying to sell the studio. LIZ I've also been under a lot of stress. I've got a thesis paper due. Exams are coming up…I got this job interview at a clinic. (beat) Brandon, what about you? BRANDON Yeah, I've feeling really guilty about Rebecca, just lately though. I mean, I feel terrified of getting caught. Huh…I lost my job at the shop. LIZ We're all just really stressed out and even depressed over the guilt of Rebecca's death. We're not crazy, we're not even close to being crazy. We need to watch out for each other. HEATHER I used to think that the psychology bullshit you were learning was idiotic and a waste of time. I never dreamed it would help me out. INT. LIVING ROOM – LATER Heather stands in the doorway, putting a jacket on. Liz grabs her and hugs her. Brandon and Trey are on the couch, TALKING. She opens the front door. She turns back to them. HEATHER Bye, guys. INT. CORRIDOR Heather walks down the dim lighted corridor. She walks down toward the elevator at the end of the long corridor. She reaches it and pushes a button. She waits. The elevator DINGS as the doors start to slide open. As they open, Heather GASPS. In the elevator, staring back at Heather is Rebecca. Rebecca's hands suddenly reach out and try to grab Heather. Heather SCREAMS and quickly runs away. Rebecca steps out from the elevator and follows Heather. Heather rushes back towards Trey and Liz's apartment at the end of the corridor. Heather looks back and SCREAMS at the sight of Rebecca, very close behind. Heather continues running and finally reaches the apartment door. She quickly starts POUNDING on the door. Heather looks back as Rebecca's hands grip around her neck. The door is suddenly pulled open. Liz stands in the doorway and sees Rebecca strangling Heather. Liz SCREAMS. Rebecca lets go of Heather and looks over at Liz. Heather rushes in and SLAMS the door. INT. APARTMENT – LIVING ROOM Heather quickly locks the door. Brandon and Trey rush over. The girls look very frightened and the guys look very confused. TREY What the hell is wrong? HEATHER She's out there! BRANDON Who!? LIZ Rebecca! I saw her, it's her! Loud POUNDING can be heard right outside the door. It continues, each POUND become more intense and louder. All of them look over at the door, scared to death. Trey grabs a fire poker and moves in front of the door, while Liz opens a closet and pulls out a bat. She joins Trey. The POUNDING continues, Heather and Brandon move back against the wall. Trey and Liz move forward, raising their weapons high in the air. Trey pulls open the door and both of them swing, hitting air. They stop and look outside into the corridor. No one. Rebecca is nowhere in sight. Trey steps out into the corridor. Liz hesitates. Brandon grabs the bat from Liz and follows Trey. The girls stay behind, close together. INT. CORRIDOR Trey and Brandon quietly walk down the corridor. No one is in sight. Suddenly a door swings open, the men jump and turn around. They see a NEIGHBOR entering the corridor, wearing only a robe. NEIGHBOR You people are making a lot of noise. Is something wrong? TREY No… BRANDON Sorry about that. We'll keep it down. The neighbor YAWNS and walks back inside his apartment. Trey and Brandon go back inside. INT. APARTMENT – LIVING ROOM Trey tosses the fire poker down. Brandon lays the bat against the door. All of them still look frightened. HEATHER Did you see her? TREY There was no one…she wasn't there. LIZ I saw her…Heather and I saw her. HEATHER She had me by the throat damnit! (beat) You still believe that we're just stressed out, Liz? Cause she seemed pretty fucking real to me. LIZ But, she's dead… TREY They found her body. BRANDON Than if that wasn't her pounding at the door, who was it? LIZ I don't know! Just stop it! (beat) I just need to think all of this through. I need to clear my mind… Brandon grabs his jacket from a coat rack, he moves toward the door. He turns back to them. BRANDON I need to leave. Being here, hearing all these theories is just making me really question my insanity. HEATHER Take me home, please. I don't want to leave alone. TREY We'll talk to you guys tomorrow, okay? INT. UNIVERSITY – CLASSROOM - DAY The professor finishes talking. Liz raises her hand, he quickly notices her. PROFESSOR Yes, Miss Hardesty? LIZ From what I know, more than one person can suffer from the same delusion or hallucination, right? PROFESSOR Sure, but not by coincidence. The only way to "share" a similar delusion is only by either if the persons experience a traumatic experience together…or shared disturbing conversations with each other. LIZ Hallucinations, what else can cause them? PROFESSOR A severe medical illness, fever, drugs, delirium, schizophrenia, and psychotic depression. (beat) This is very interesting, why did you bring it up? Liz opens her mouth, but hesitates. LIZ Truthfully…I think I might be suffering from hallucinations, caused by –- The professor nods. PROFESSOR Post-traumatic stress? LIZ Yes. Hopefully it's just a short-term condition, but I think it may be developing into a more serious condition. PROFESSOR May I ask what caused the trigger of your stress? LIZ I rather not talk about it –- PROFESSOR You should, it might resolve and help you understand your delusions and hallucinations. Proving yourself also. LIZ Proving myself? PROFESSOR You could find a way to prove yourself wrong about the delusions. You could take medication prescribed from a doctor, like Prozac or something. INT. LIBRARY Trey sits at a table, turning pages through books. He closes the book and pulls another one closer to him. INSERT – BOOK "PSYCHOTIC DEPRESSION AND SURVIVOR'S GUILT" He opens the book and looks through out. He begins to read it. REBBECA(OS) Trey, I'm watching you… Trey looks up and looks around. No one, just a lot of elderly PEOPLE. He looks back down at the book and closes it. REBECCA(OS) Trey! Look at me! Trey looks up and sees Rebecca standing in front of the table. Trey quickly jumps out of his seat and runs away. He stops by a isle of bookshelves. He looks back, she isn't there anymore. Suddenly, hands reach out through the cracks of bookshelves and grab Trey. Trey YELLS and turns around. Behind the bookshelf is Rebecca. Trey turns and runs down the isle. EXT. LIBRARY Without looking back, Trey rushes down the stone steps of the library, he quickly pulls on a helmet and grabs a pair of keys out from his pocket. He hops on his Kawasaki ninja bike that's parked on the curve. He starts it up and hauls ass away from the library. EXT. HOUSE Brandon's Yukon comes to a stop in front of Rebecca's house. The passenger's door opens, it's Heather. She looks at the house and SIGHS. Brandon steps out from the driver's side and walks over toward the sidewalk with Heather. They look up at the house. Finally, they walk towards the front door. They reach it and look at each other, nervously. Brandon KNOCKS on the door. It opens, a WOMAN stands in the doorway. Rebecca's Mom. MRS. MYLES Yes? BRANDON Mrs. Myles? Hi, huh…I'm Brandon Reid and this is Heather Klein, we were close to Rebecca. We just wanted to ask you a question, if you don't mind. MRS. MYLES Sure… BRANDON We recently found out that her body was found and we just wanted to know where she is buried, so that we can go pay our respects. MRS. MYLES Golden Hill's cemetery –- HEATHER So, she is dead? MRS. MYLES Excuse me? What? Brandon flashes Heather an angered look. HEATHER Don't mind me, I'm sorry. Thank you Mrs. Myles, take care. Brandon grabs Heather's hand and quickly walks away. Mrs. Myles closes the door. Brandon and Heather stop at the sidewalk. He looks at her pure anger. He looks back at the house and sees Mrs. Myles looking at them from a window. BRANDON What the hell? "So, she is dead?", what kind of shit is that? HEATHER I don't know…I just really thought that she was still alive. BRANDON Well, she's not. She's buried six feet under. HEATHER How do we know that it's her body down there? We don't know, it could be another body. BRANDON Don't give me that bullshit, she's dead. I don't want to think that people come back after they've died. She's not alive. Just accept that. HEATHER No! I don't want to believe that I'm going crazy. I am not crazy. We're not crazy! BRANDON Well, what do you want? Proof that she's dead –- HEATHER Yeah and don't give me that shit saying you wouldn't, because I know for a damn well fact that you want some kind of proof also! They get SILENT. Brandon SLAMS his arms down on the hood of his SUV. He thinks and then suddenly looks back at Heather and smiles grimly. BRANDON Okay, we're going to get some proof, tonight. HEATHER What are you talking about? EXT. ROAD – NIGHT Quiet and very dark. Brandon's Yukon suddenly ROARS down the empty road. The night's sky shines brightly, the moon slowly begins to be covered by a cloud. INT. YUKON Brandon is driving, while Trey rides shotgun. In the backseats are Liz and Heather. There is a very irritating SILENCE between them. Liz rolls her eyes. LIZ You and Trey couldn't do this by yourself? Why'd you have to drag me along? BRANDON We're all going to see the truth. TREY Liz, didn't you tell me that? That if we face the truth the delusions will stop? LIZ What if we're actually not having delusions. (beat) Now, we're risking our lives once again to do what? Dig up a body. I'm I the only one who thinks this is morally wrong? No one responds. TREY Look, we'll do it quick. I'll be like we were never there. You don't have to look if you don't want to. HEATHER What if her body is actually there? Then what? BRANDON There is no possible way that it's her down there. I'm positive. (beat) I'll tell you what will happen if she's down there. I will check myself into a mental institution. That's how positive I am of her being alive. Trey looks out through the windshield, in the darkness he can see a cemetery approaching. He looks back at Liz and Heather, who also notice the cemetery. EXT. CEMETERY Trey slides on a jacket. Brandon hands him a shovel, they begin to walk down isles of gravestones. Trey looks back and sees Liz and Heather sitting inside the parked SUV on the road. TREY How do we know where she's buried? BRANDON Keep following. The new burial sights are over here. They continue walking toward a lot more graves. Brandon starts eying each grave and continues down the isle until he reaches a gravestone at the end. Trey and Brandon look down at Rebecca's grave. TOMBSTONE READS: REBECCA MYLES OCTOBER 13, 1980 JUNE 15, 2004 Brandon looks at Trey and then looks back down at the grave. He shovels the ground. Trey quickly joins him. They tare the top layer of grass and dirt. INT. YUKON Liz puts on her sweater while Heather shivers with coldness, she then puts on a beanie. HEATHER How long you give them? LIZ Two-hours at the most. I just want to go home, I don't want…I don't need to be here. HEATHER Do you hold me responsible for everything that has happened? LIZ Truthfully…yes. But, I've been your friend for eight years and I've always been by your side and helped you through problems. I wasn't going to stop… HEATHER I wish I could take back everything that I've done. I mean you don't know how much guilty I feel for ruining your lives. LIZ At least we're alive, right? I mean this is just a bad time in our life. It'll get better. HEATHER Right now I feel it can't get any worse. But, I'm just lying to myself, it can always get worse. LIZ It's unhealthy to think negative. Nothing is going to get worse. (beat) Can we change the subject now? HEATHER Yeah…I don't know what to say. LIZ Huh…what's the deal between you and Brandon? On again? HEATHER I don't know. I mean I really like him, but it's just bad timing. I think he wants to get back together –- Liz reaches out and grabs Heather, hugging her tightly. Heather hugs back. Tears flow down from Heather's eyes. INT. YUKON – LATER Trey can be seen approaching the SUV. He walks over to the passenger's seat and pulls open the door. He's dirty and sweaty. In the backseats, Liz's head is rested up against the window, she's sleeping. Heather has her head rested back on the seat, also sleeping. Liz opens her eyes, very tiredly. Trey grabs a crowbar from beneath the seat. He looks back at Liz, who is YAWNING. TREY Hey. We're done. LIZ What? –- She glances at her watch. LIZ(COUNT'D) Oh my God. It's one hour before dawn. TREY We're almost done…we need to crack the casket open and check. Trey kisses Liz and leaves. Liz shakes Heather awakening her. Heather's eyes snap open. EXT. CEMETERY Trey reaches Brandon, who is equally as sweaty and dirty as Trey. Brandon looks down at the casket in a reasonably sized pit. Trey hops down into the hole. INT. YUKON Liz can roughly see Brandon staring down into the hole. Heather forcefully tries to keep her eyes from closing. Suddenly, they hear a BANGING sound coming from behind the SUV. Both Liz and Heather quickly look behind them and see no one. They jump as they hear another BANG. Both girls begin to BREATH hard. Another BANG, they look at each other and suddenly rush towards the doors and hop out of the Yukon. EXT. CEMETERY The girls rush down the gravestones. Liz grabs Heather's arm and both of them turn and look at the Yukon. No one. They begin to BREATH hard, almost hyperventilating. The sounds of RUSTLING bushes make the girls GASPS and turn their heads to the side. They hold each other as the bushes continue shaking. They turn around and SCREAM. Brandon stands behind them. BRANDON What's the matter? HEATHER Look…the bushes. They all turn back to the bushes, no more movement. Brandon looks confused. Suddenly, the bushes start to shake again. EXT. PIT Down in the pit, Trey is trying to pry open the casket with a crowbar and the shovel. He struggles, but the sound of something CRACKING makes his eyes light up. He puts the shovel and the crowbar to the side. He grabs the edge of the casket's lid and struggles to open it. EXT. CEMETERY Liz, Heather, and Brandon are still looking at the bushes shaking. Brandon steps forward, walking towards the bushes. EXT. PIT Trey slides the top of the lid off and slowly peers inside. His face turns into peer disgust. Inside the casket, are Rebecca's remains. He monitors the skull; a small hole is on the forehead, the bullet wound. He turns away from the casket and takes in fresh air. EXT. CEMETERY As Brandon reaches the bushes, they stop shaking. He turns back to Liz and Heather and walk back toward them. All of them look very scared and confused. EXT. PIT Trey still has his head turned away from the casket, not wanting to look. TREY Brandon…guys. Come here. Brandon, Liz, and Heather appear, standing over the edge, peering down. All of their faces drop as Liz and Heather begin to SCREAM. Trey turns his head towards the casket and suddenly jumps with fright. Lying inside the casket is Rebecca! Not skeleton, but Rebecca in the flesh. She grins at Trey and suddenly sits up upward, grabbing Trey's neck. She begins to choke him. Trey grabs the shovel from the ground, picks it up, and swings it at Rebecca, hitting her in the face. She lets go of Trey and he quickly climbs out of the pit. EXT. CEMETERY Brandon and Liz help Trey stand up. Heather starts running towards the Yukon, SCREAMING. Without looking back, Trey, Liz, and Brandon run to the Yukon. INT. YUKON Everyone enters, SLAMMING and locking their doors. Brandon quickly shoves the keys into the ignition. Trey whips around and peers through the back window. TREY She's coming… The engine ROARS alive and Brandon slams his foot on the gas. Liz and Heather turn around and look out the windows. They GASP. EXT. HIGHWAY The Yukon travels fast down a highway, passing up other vehicles. Over the hills, the sun can be seen rising. INT. YUKON Heather rolls down the window and BREATHS in air. Everyone else is speechless; all look shocked. BRANDON We are going crazy. TREY Can anyone explain what the hell happened back there!? What is she!? HEATHER Is she like a ghost or something? TREY Liz, what the hell is going on!? LIZ I don't fucking know! (beat) Something wrong is happening to us. Something unordinary. Something…evil. Heather begins to CRY. Liz wraps her arms around her. Brandon sees something on the driver's window, Rebecca's reflection. Brandon GASPS. Trey, Liz, and Heather all turn towards Brandon. Unnoticed, Brandon begins to slide the steering wheel to the left side. His attention seized by the sight of Rebecca's reflection. Brandon turns his attention back to the road and suddenly YELLS. All of them turn back towards the windshield. The sounds of a car HONKING rip through the silence. Brandon SLAMS his foot of the break and swiftly turns to the steering wheel. EXT. HIGHWAY The Yukon is on the opposite lane. It begins to emerge onto the right, almost hitting the other car. Too late, the opposing car SLAMS into the Yukon. The Yukon spins out of control. Through the windshield we see Brandon trying to take control, but is failing. The Yukon spins off road and then ultimately, it flips onto its side. The Yukon rolls four times down the hill, debris and glass fly everywhere! It finally comes to a stop, upside down. Everything goes SILENT. Through the shattered window, we can see Trey lift his head up. Cuts are across his face and his nose is bleeding. He looks around and suddenly starts to YELL. INT. HOSPITAL – CORRIDOR Four hospital beds are being wheeled down the long, white corridor. Trey, Liz, Heather, and Brandon all lay unconscious. Trey's eyes snap open. He quickly sits up, very alarmed. He GASPS for air. But, NURSES hold him down. INT. HOSPITAL ROOM – DAY Liz's eyes open, only to reveal Trey sitting in front of her. His face and neck are slightly bruised from cuts. He forces a smile. He stands up and approaches her; he walks with a limp. Liz sits up, ACHING with pain. She has a minor cut on her face, but more on her neck. Trey grabs her, hugs and kisses her. TREY Are you okay? LIZ Very soar. How about you? TREY I dislocated my ankle. But, I'll be fine… LIZ Heather? Brandon? Where are they? TREY Brandon is okay; he's just been released. But, he's with Heather's parents…they're talking to her doctor. LIZ Why, what's wrong with her? TREY She's in a coma. During the accident, she suffered from a serious blow to the head. She's been hemorrhaging. LIZ Is it serious? TREY She's been on close watch. INT. HOSPITAL ROOM Heather lays asleep on the bed. Her BREATHING is disturbingly shallow. Her upper shoulder is bandaged up and there are cuts on her face, but mainly her neck. She is sadly hooked up to monitors. Heather's PARENTS stand in the doorway, looking extremely upset. A DOCTOR appears behind them and they leave with the doctor. Brandon enters. He is wearing a splint on four of his fingers and his arms are covered in scratches and bruises. He walks over to Heather and looks down onto her. He leans down and kisses the top of Heather's forehead. He turns around and leaves. A monitor starts BEEPING. Heather's eyes open, she quickly sits up. She looks very dazed and confused. She looks over towards the doorway and sees Brandon appear. He looks down the corridor and CALLS for help. He turns back towards Heather and takes a step forward. But, before he enters the room, the door SLAMS shut and we hear it LOCKING. BRANDON(OS) Heather!? What the hell? What's happened? The monitor suddenly stops BEEPING. Heather glances at it, very confused. She starts to climb out of bed, revealing Rebecca on the other side of the bed. She grabs Heather's arm. Heather turns around and SCREAMS. Rebecca pulls out the IV from Heather's wrist! Heather SCREAMS in pain as she falls to the ground. Heather tries to stand herself up. She looks up and sees Rebecca standing above her, she reaches for Heather, pulling out her heart monitor patch. We hear BANGING on the door. BRANDON(OS) Heather! What the hell is wrong! Heather! Heather starts CRYING and SCREAMING. She stands up and walks to the door as fast as she can. She tries to pull open the door. It's locked. She POUNDS on the door. BRANDON(OS) Heather! Open the door! INT. CORRIDOR Brandon looks down the corridor and spots some NURSES. He YELLS for them to come over. They rush over towards him. They listen to Heather's SCREAMS and CRIES of pain. INT. HOSPITAL ROOM Heather turns around and sees Rebecca approaching her. Heather slumps to the floor, CRYING intensely. HEATHER This isn't real…you're dead. Rebecca reaches her, standing directly in front of her. Heather CRIES into her arms. HEATHER Leave me alone…I'm sorry! Please stop! Rebecca forcefully grabs Heather and forces her up against the door. Rebecca looks devilish toward Heather. INT. CORRIDOR The nurses and Brandon are still trying to open the door. A nurse looks down the corridor and HOLLERS for a guard. Brandon is very panicky and becomes frightened as Heather's CRIES become more loud. He puts his face up to the door, trying to be very calm. BRANDON Heather, sweetheart, please try to open the door. (beat) Heather, please answer me. INT. HOSPITAL ROOM Rebecca lets go of Heather and lets her fall to the floor. Heather slowly stands up, shielding herself. HEATHER Brandon…help –- REBECCA Want to see what James saw? Heather begins to GASP for air. HEATHER Please, don't do anything –- Rebecca reaches out and grabs Heather's throat. Heather SCREAMS and her vision becomes blurry. Rebecca shoves her to the tiled floor. Heather suddenly shivers like crazy, but then suddenly stops. She jumps to her feet and looks around. Rebecca is nowhere in sight. She quickly turns around and tries to pull open the door, it still won't open. She turns around and sees a dark FIGURE standing in the dark corner. She YELLS. Heather quickly picks up a stool. She stares at the featureless figure. It suddenly charges at her. Heather strongly throws the stool at the figure, it suddenly disappears, but the stool shatters the tall window on the other side of the room. A thick wind suddenly enters. INT. CORRIDOR A GUARD rushes down the corridor, DANGLING a pair of keys. He walks over towards Brandon and the nurses. INT. HOSPITAL ROOM The room quickly feels with a darkness. Heather GASPS and grabs another stool by the door. She grips it tight. Something grabs her and she turns around, it's a dark FIGURE! Heather swings the stool. She glances over her shoulder and sees three more FIGURES standing around the room. She backs up into a corner, SCREAMING like hell. HEATHER Get away! (beat) Someone, please help me! INT. CORRIDOR The guard pushes the door open. Brandon rushes towards the doorway and GASPS. Heather is swinging a stool, hitting air. There is no darkness, but a heavy wind. He enters. INT. HOSPITAL ROOM He starts walking towards her. Heather turns to him and swings at him, but misses. She SCREAMS. BRANDON Heather! What the hell!? Heather looks around and sees the darkness getting darker, a FIGURE is in front of her, she swings again –- Almost hitting Brandon, she doesn't realize it. BRANDON Heather! Please, stop! Heather continues swinging the stool and backs up toward the window. She swings like crazy at the figures. She stands in front of the shattered window, she starts CRYING. Brandon is trying to approach her, she is looking down towards the floor, CRYING. She looks up, very frightened. She SCREAMS and swings at Brandon. She backs up and trips over the bottom frame of the window! She falls backwards, falling out of the building! Brandon dives for her, but hits the floor. He YELLS like crazy. We hear Heather's SCREAMS get further and further away. They depressingly stop. Brandon CRIES like crazy. He starts walking towards the shattered window, but the guard holds him back. Brandon breaks away from him and looks out of the window. Five floors below is the splattered body of Heather; blood oozing out onto the sidewalk. Brandon turns around, nonstop CRYING, he collapses to the floor. INT. LIZ'S CAR In the backseat, Brandon has his head slumped up against the window, he is strangely quiet. His eyes bloodshot and soar. He closes his eyes as a flash of Heather's body creeps into his mind. Liz is riding in the front seat, SOBBING into her arms. Trey drives slowly, looking extremely sad. A tear rolls down his cheek, he wipes it away. Brandon turns his forward and watches raindrops begin to hit the front windshield. BRANDON We're all going to die…aren't we? Liz looks back; her face is covered in tears. She grins over at Brandon. LIZ Shut up…just stop, Brandon. TREY Why do you think she did it? BRANDON She didn't do it. You guys didn't hear her screaming like the way I did. (beat) I mean that door closed and locked right in front of my eyes. TREY No… BRANDON Why do you doubt this so much? TREY You were doing the same thing. (beat) I don't want to believe that this is happening. BRANDON Well, it's happening. TREY Don't you think I realize that!? LIZ Shut up! The both of you, just shut up! INT. APARTMENT – LIVING ROOM Trey and Liz enter. Liz tiredly walks to the couch and falls down on it. She puts a pillow over her face and CRIES. Trey walks over and sits on the edge of the couch. He puts an arm around her and pulls off the pillow; she looks up at him, extremely emotional. She pulls him close and kisses him. She slides over, making room for him. He lies down next to her. Trey kisses her and wipes away some of her tears. LIZ She did it –- TREY I know she did. (beat) Something wrong is happening to us. LIZ So, now you believe that this is happening? TREY I don't know what I believe. When I begin to think I understand something, I realize I don't. INT. BATHROOM – SHOWER Liz lets the steamy water fall onto her. Her eyes are swollen and she looks very tired. TREY(OS) I'm going to go take a ride, maybe stop at the studio. She opens the shower curtain and sees Trey standing in the doorway. He forces a smile. TREY Okay? I'll be back. I just need to get out for awhile. LIZ Love you. TREY I love you too, babe. Bye. INT. PARKING GARAGE Trey carries his helmet and walks towards his bike. There is an eerie SILENCE. Something CRASHES to the ground. Trey stops in his tracks and looks around. No one. He reaches his bike and hops on. The bike ROARS to life. INT. APARTMENT – BATHROOM Liz steps out of the shower, a towel wrapped around her. She walks over towards the fogged mirror and wipes it clean. She turns around and grabs a shirt from a rack and slides it on. A strange wind blows past Liz, making her hair flutter for a quick second. Liz turns around, eyeing the bathroom. No one. She hurries out of the bathroom. INT. BEDROOM Liz enters wearing a t-shirt and her panties. She looks a little panicked. Something CRASHES to the ground. Liz turns toward the doorway. She quickly grabs a pair of pants from the bed and slides them on. She starts BREATHING hard. Liz hears something else CRASH to the ground. INT. HALLWAY Liz, shaking with fear, walks slowly down the short hallway. LIZ Trey? No answer. Suddenly, we hear a door CREAKING open. Liz jumps and SCREAMS as she sees the door next to her opening, revealing Rebecca behind it. Liz turns around and runs. INT. BEDROOM Liz enters and quickly SLAMS the door and LOCKS it. She backs up, tears forming in her eyes. She listens, nothing. Suddenly, BANGING and POUNDING can be heard coming from the door. Liz GASPS. LIZ This isn't real! I'm not crazy, this cannot be happening… The PUNDING continues. LIZ(COUNT'D) I'm a logical person! This isn't happening! You're dead! This isn't real! The POUNDING suddenly stops. Liz smiles a bit of relief. She falls onto her knees and lays flat on her stomach and peers underneath the door. She barely can see anything, but no one is standing in front of the door. Liz SIGHS. Liz jumps back up to her feet. She grabs her purse from the bed and quickly opens the bedroom, without hesitating, she runs out. INT. LIVING ROOM Liz runs towards the door, but glances around the room. Rebecca is standing at a closet door. Liz GASPS. LIZ You're not real Rebecca. You're dead… REBECCA Liz, you don't understand yet, do you? LIZ I don't have to understand anything. You are dead! (beat) What are you? REBECCA Brandon is next by the way, I've already decided that. LIZ Decided? Decided to do what? Die? Rebecca starts walking towards Liz. Liz YELLS and grabs for the doorknob, she flings the door open and runs out. INT. CORRIDOR Liz runs down the corridor like hell. She reaches the elevators at the end. She quickly pushes the button. She glances back and SCREAMS, Rebecca is approaching. Liz turns around and pushes the button again. She looks at the mirrors attached to the wall, Rebecca is standing directly behind her. Liz SCREAMS. Liz swings her arms and turns around. She runs towards the staircase and runs down the four flights of stairs. INT. PARKING GARAGE Liz pushes her way through a door and runs toward her car. She drops her purse and quickly turns around and picks it up. She runs toward her car, digging into her purse, pulling out a pair of keys. She shoves a key into the driver's door and quickly pulls the door open. INT. LIZ'S CAR She quickly LOCKS the doors and puts the key into the ignition. She looks to her side and sees Rebecca standing on the other side of the window. Rebecca BANGS on the window, shattering it. Liz SCREAMS as glass descends onto her. She turns the key and the car STARTS. Liz SLAMS on the gas pedal. EXT. STREET – DUSK Liz's car exits from the garage and speeds down an empty street. The sun can be seen setting in the distance. EXT. ART STUDIO Trey's bike is parked on the curve. Almost hitting the bike is Liz's car. It comes to a stop and Liz jumps out from the car and runs towards the entrance doors. She reaches the doors, trying to open them. They're locked. Liz POUNDS on the glass doors. Trey quickly exits. Liz grabs his hand and forces him back to her car. TREY What's the matter with you!? LIZ Rebecca is going after Brandon! Trey opens the passenger's door and gets in. Liz enters and the car ROARS down the road. INT. LIZ'S CAR Trey confusingly looks over at Liz, who is concentrating on the road. He looks down and sees glass spread out over the carpet. TREY What happened? What do you mean she's going after Brandon? LIZ Trey! Rebecca is real! She shattered the fucking window…I even felt her. I hit her and she felt real! Trey, she is not dead! Trey looks over at her, very concerned. He thinks and turns towards the windshield. TREY Get to Brandon's quick… INT. HOUSE – KITCHEN Brandon is sitting at the kitchen table, filling out a job application. The phone suddenly RINGS. He grabs the cordless from the table. BRANDON Hello? TREY Brandon! It's Trey! (beat) Listen to me, Rebecca is coming for you… Brandon's face drops and he slowly stands up from the chair. TREY(COUNT'D) Get out of your house. BRANDON What do you mean she's coming for me? TREY Brandon, Liz and I are on our way. Just please, get out of your house. Brandon CLICKS the phone off. He looks around frightened to death. REBECCA(OS) Brandon… Brandon GASPS with fright. REBECCA(OS) You put yourself in this situation. Do you realize that? Brandon looks around for her. She's nowhere in sight. He looks down the hallway next to the kitchen. It's empty. BRANDON No, Heather put me in this situation. I didn't ask for this, you sick bitch! REBECCA(OS) Oh, no!? He looks around the entire kitchen. No one. BRANDON How are you doing this? REBECCA(OS) The devil brought me back… Brandon looks around terrified and confused. He suddenly runs out of the kitchen, down into the hallway. INT. LIVING ROOM Brandon runs out of the hallway and turns a corner, towards the door. He bumps into Rebecca. He YELLS and quickly backs up, running back into the hallway. INT. BATHROOM Brandon SLAMS the door, but falls down to the floor. He looks up and sees the door begin to CREAK open. Brandon YELLS. He jolts up and SLAMS his body into the door, closing it. He quickly LOCKS it. He CLICKS on the ceiling light and rushes towards a window at the back of the bathroom. He opens the window and grabs the ledge, pulling himself up towards the window. He pushes out the screen and slides half of his body out. Hands grab Brandon and quickly begin to pull him back in. He YELLS. He's pulled all the way and falls he falls to the ground, SLAMMING his head against the edge of the bath tube. A wound forms around his temple and blood starts to flow out. He stands up and the ceiling lights shut off. Brandon GASPS. He looks around. No one. The bathroom door is still closed. We hear something CRACKING. Brandon turns his head towards the mirror and sees the glass cracking through the middle. In the reflection of the mirror is Rebecca, standing behind him. Brandon turns around. No one. In the mirror's reflection Rebecca is standing on the opposite side of Brandon, he doesn't notice. The entire mirror SHATTERS, sending glass flying everywhere. Sharp, jagged pieces of glass fly into the back of Brandon. Brandon's face drops and he falls to his knees. He COUGHS up blood and his eyes slowly close. He falls forward, revealing six pieces of glass sticking out from his skull and several pieces of glass sticking out from his back. TREY(OS) Brandon!? Where are you? Are you still here? We hear doors OPENING and CLOSING. LIZ(OS) Brandon? We hear someone grab the doorknob and the door is pushed open. Liz quickly SCREAMS at the gruesome sight of Brandon's body. Trey appears behind Liz and looks into the bathroom, he also starts YELLING. EXT. HOUSE Trey and Liz run out of the house, SCREAMING like hell. They rush over toward the car. INT. APARTMENT – LIVING ROOM Trey walks toward Liz, holding a baseball bat. She is sitting on the couch, CRYING. He hands her the baseball bat and takes a seat next to her. LIZ Brandon was right, we're all going to die. Both look extremely depressed and sadden. She looks at the bat, confused. TREY For protection… (beat) We need to find some help… LIZ And say what, Trey? "A girl we thought we killed has come back for us?" TREY No matter what we say, it'll all sound crazy. Liz starts SOBBING. TREY We're both loosing it, aren't we? I don't know what to do anymore. I'm loosing all hope –- LIZ I've already lost my hope! I'm scared! I don't want to be here! I…I…wish I was dead. Liz jumps off the couch and rushes to the kitchen, Trey stands up and looks toward the kitchen. His eyes are quickly filling up with tears. Liz walks back, holding a sharp kitchen knife against her wrist. Trey jumps off the couch and rushes to her. TREY Liz, stop it! LIZ No! I can't take this anymore! I am not a strong enough person for this shit! She starts CRYING fiercely. Trey pulls the knife away from her and pulls her close, hugging her. TREY Please, baby, stop it. Things will get better for us, they have to. LIZ Make everything just stop, Trey. Please…I'm so scared right now. TREY I am too, Liz. We'll get through this together. INT. LIVING ROOM – LATER Liz is lying on the couch, asleep. Trey is sitting on a chair, falling asleep. He snaps his eyes open, trying not to fall asleep. He stands up and walks over to the window, looking out at the darkened sky. EXT. HOUSE Trey looks up at Rebecca's house. He stares awkwardly and notices no light is showing through the windows. He starts walking up towards the house. He turns the doorknob, its locked. He walks down the porch and eyes the windows. He walks over to the side of the house. He spots a window, halfway open. He looks around, making sure no one has seen him. He grabs the frame of the window and slides the window open. He looks around one last time. No one is around. He pulls himself up toward the window and slides into the house. INT. HOUSE – DINING ROOM Trey looks around, looking very nervous. He slides the window shut and walks toward a stand with pictures on them, mostly photos of Rebecca and her family. Trey notices that Rebecca never smiles in any of the pictures. A light FLICKS on. Trey whips around and sees Mrs. Myles walking down the lightened hallway. Trey jumps and quickly hides in between the wall and a hutch. MRS. MYLES(OS) Jerry, have you seen my watch? MR. MYLES(OS) Dining room table… Trey's eyes bulge as he notices a watch on the dining room table. He leans down, being covered by the darkness of the room. He GASPS quietly as the ceiling lights FLICK on. She walks in front of him, but not noticing him. MR. MYLES enters the room and puts a hand on his wife's shoulder. She puts on the watch. MR. MYLES Honey, we got reservations at eight. MRS. MYLES I'm ready. Lets go. They turn around and leave the room, leaving Trey unseen. Mr. Myles FLICKS off the light. Trey SIGHS. We hear the front door OPEN and then CLOSE. Trey steps out from his hiding place. He leaves the room, walking toward a staircase. INT. HALLWAY Trey steps onto the darkened hallway. He looks in both directions; all is SILENT. He begins walking down the hallway, OPENING and CLOSING doors. INT. REBECCA'S ROOM The door CREAKS open. Trey peeks his head in, he enters. The bedroom is uncannily dark. He CLICKS on the light. He examines the room. He notices that the walls of the room are black, posted on the walls are a lot of gothic paintings and objects. He walks over to a desk and grabs a book from it. INSERT – BOOK "THE UNKNOWINGLY SUPERNATURAL" He places the book back down and opens drawers. He pulls out some photographs and scrutinizes them. The pictures are of James and Rebecca, she actually smiles in a couple. He looks sadly looks down at James's face. He tosses the pictures back into the drawer. He shuffles through the rest of the junk in the drawer. Nothing interests him. He closes it and moves toward a bookshelf. He observes the books, all of them are about witches, demons, hauntings, and the supernatural. He looks around and sees a shelf above her bed, laying on the shelf are black candles. He turns back around and looks at the bookshelf. He pulls out about a dozen photographs from beneath the books. Its pictures of mountainous landscapes, an opening of a tunnel, and a tree with a lot of carved symbols on them. He slides the pictures into his coat pocket. He walks over to a dresser and starts OPENING drawers, just clothes. He shuffles through the clothes and suddenly stops. He stares down into the drawer. He pulls something out and looks at it weirdly. It's a pentagram, he looks inside the drawer and spots another. Trey tosses the one he has into his pocket. He SLAMS the drawer and OPENS another. He shuffles through more clothes and pulls out three books from the bottom. He looks at them, his expression confused. INSERT – BOOK(S) "WITCHCRAFT AND THE OCCULT" "THE ART OF BLACK MAGIC" "WICCA" INT. APARTMENT – LIVING ROOM Liz is still asleep on the couch. The front door OPENS and Trey enters. He places the books on a table; pulling out the pictures and pentagram, he places them next to the books. He walks over to the couch and takes a seat next to Liz. He turns to her and shakes her. TREY Liz…wake up. INT. LIVING ROOM – LATER Trey and Liz are now both sitting on the couches, flipping through pages of the books. Trey glances at Liz who is writing notes on paper. LIZ I can't believe you snuck into their house. That's so illegal. TREY I know, what I did was wrong. But, c'mon we had to know something. They get SILENT. Trey looks down onto the book and reads. Liz SIGHS and looks down at the book she's holding and she begins to read. Trey looks up and looks over at Liz. TREY She's a revenant. LIZ Where did you read that? What…is a revenant? Trey holds up the book "WITCHCRAFT AND THE OCCULT". TREY A revenant is to be believed as someone who returns from the dead after experiencing a violent death. Liz looks at him speechless. She sets the book in her hand on a coffee table. TREY You know what else I read? (beat) Witches, assuming that she was one, use magic to harm others by causing illnesses, accidents, bad luck, and death. LIZ James's death wasn't coincidence and neither was Heather and Brandon's. TREY She messed around with James's mind…some of them are competent of doing that. She caused all of their deaths. LIZ And she's going to cause ours, isn't she? Trey flashes a grin at Liz. LIZ I'm sorry, I just don't know what to do now. TREY Neither do I, its not like I'm holding a book on how to kill a witch. I'm just trying to understand… Liz's eyes get teary. She lays back on the couch. Trey grabs some pictures from the table. He looks at the one with the symbols carved into the tree for a long time. TREY Maybe she was part of a cult or something. What is it called when there is a group of witches? LIZ Coven, they're made up of like twelve witches, but they practice alone. I just read about it. Trey walks over to Liz and sits down next to her. She is starting to SOB. She sits up and grabs him, hugging him. Trey kisses her, romantically. He wipes away her tears. Liz passionately kisses Trey back. Both of them begin to lower down onto the couch. INT. BEDROOM – DAY Trey and Liz are underneath the sheets, covering their naked bodies. The morning light shines through an open window onto their sleeping faces. Trey's eyes begin to slowly open. He YAWNS and turns to his side, only to see Liz waking up. She looks at him. TREY Hey… LIZ Morning. I have class at ten, but I'm not going today. I won't be able to handle being there. TREY I understand, but don't you think you should be around people? (beat) I think I'm going to go talk to Rebecca's parents –- LIZ What!? Why!? TREY Maybe they could help us out. Maybe they know something about her. LIZ What do you actually plan on saying to them? "Is your daughter a witch? Does she worship the devil?" –- TREY I don't know what I'm going to say. Don't worry…I'll figure something out. EXT. HOUSE Trey's bike comes to a stop in front of the Myles home. He takes off his helmet and begins walking towards the porch. He reaches the door and takes a deep BREATH. He KNOCKS on the door. He watches, nervously, as the front door is pulled open. Mr. Myles stands in the doorway. TREY Hello…Mr. Myles? MR. MYLES Yes. TREY I don't know how to say this, but I just wanted to pay my respects and say I'm sorry for what happened to Rebecca. Mrs. Myles appears in the doorway, standing next to her husband. MR. MYLES Thank you, that's really thoughtful of you to say. MRS. MYLES You're another one of Rebecca's friends? TREY Well…not really, sort of. MRS. MYLES Oh, because we had two visitors two days ago. TREY I wanted to ask you two a very serious and kind of personal question. MR. MYLES What do you mean? TREY Please, do not take this offensive. It's just something my girlfriend and I were curious about –- MR. MYLES Well, what is it? Trey takes a deep BREATH once again. TREY Was your daughter into some kind of witchcraft or voodoo or something? Both Mr. and Mrs. Myles look shocked by that question. Mrs. Myles SIGHS. MR. MYLES Why do you say that? TREY It's…huh…just something we've heard from other people about her. I apologize if I'm sounding rude… MRS. MYLES No, it's okay. (beat) We're not sure. We both have come to terms and finally realized that our daughter was different…she became fascinated with blood and death at a very young age. MR. MYLES She's always been depressed…ever since her younger brother's death. TREY You had a son that died? MRS. MYLES He was in an accident. A drunk driver took his life when he was crossing for school. Mrs. Myles begins to tear up. MRS. MYLES After that she began having these violent stages and she would be very aggressive. She suffered from a nervous breakdown by the age of seventeen. (beat) She tried to commit suicide once, we institutionalized her at a clinic for that. MR. MYLES Our daughter was an extremely disturbed person and we know that. We tried helping her by putting her in therapy, but… MRS. MYLES She was never happy. God, the last time I even remember her smiling is when she was just a small child. TREY I feel really bad…I'm sorry to have brought this up at a time like this. MR. MYLES No, it's okay. MRS. MYLES Truthfully, it's better for her that she's gone. She's not sadden or angry anymore. She's with her brother. MR. MYLES We think she was on something though. MRS. MYLES I've tried to build up some kind of courage and go look through her bedroom and discover what she was keeping from us, but I can't… She begins to SOB. Mr. Myles wraps a hand around her. MR. MYLES What our daughter did in her lifetime, we cannot say. TREY I'm sorry. I'm sorry for bothering you. MRS. MYLES She was going to these meetings a lot or whatever they were. She said they were "nature seminars". I didn't care what it was…as long as it was making her happy. TREY You wouldn't remember where they meetings were held at, would you? MRS. MYLES I believe it was…Windsor National Park. It's right outside the city. TREY Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Myles. Once again, I'm sorry for you and your family. MR. MYLES May I ask, but what is your name by the way? TREY Huh…Trey Bennett. MR. MYLES Well, thank you Mr. Bennett for paying your respects. Take care. INT. PARKING GARAGE Liz's exits from her car, text books in her hand. She CLOSES the door and begins walking toward a door. She turns to see Trey, on his bike, entering the garage. He parks his bike and hops off. He rushes toward Liz, she confusingly looks over at him. TREY We're going to Windsor National Park. LIZ Why? Did you find out something? TREY Her parents said that's where she spent a lot of time. I think maybe we could find out more there. LIZ Well, you go, okay? TREY Come with me. I don't want you to be alone. LIZ Trey, we haven't seen in her for a while. Maybe she's not coming back for us. TREY See, you're not sure, you said "maybe". C'mon Liz, don't you want to find out how we can stop her? LIZ And you plan on finding out on how to stop her in the fucking woods? TREY Maybe that's where she practiced? Maybe…there's others like her. LIZ I don't want to find others like her! TREY Liz, please, just come with me. Liz thinks. She looks over at him and SIGHS. EXT. HIGHWAY Liz's car ROARS down a semi-empty highway, leaving the city behind them. Dark rain clouds uncover the sun. INT. LIZ'S CAR Trey is driving; concentrating on the road. Liz sits in the passenger's seat, looking at a map. Both are SILENT. TREY Are you okay? LIZ Yeah…I'm fine. I'm sorry, though. TREY For what? LIZ Being such a bitch. I'm mad, but I shouldn't take it out on you. TREY Don't worry, I understand. (beat) You know what were doing for sure after this is all over? We're going to Hawaii. LIZ I rather be there right now, than here. TREY We'll be there quicker than we think. You know why? Because this is going to end soon…I promise you. Liz leans closer to Trey and kisses his cheek. EXT. WINDSOR NATIONAL PARK Liz's car comes to a stop at a tollbooth. Trey rolls down his window, he looks inside the tollbooth. No one is in there. Trey looks back at Liz, she points her index finger. We hear something being BANGED against a window. Trey whips around and sees a MAN standing inside the tollbooth, he removes his hand from the window. He slides it open. MAN Hey, its twenty bucks. Trey pulls out money from his wallet and hands it to the man. MAN Park is closing at five, a storm is supposed to be moving in. Trey nods his head and rolls up the window. Trey drives the car past the tollbooth. EXT. FOREST – ROAD Liz's car travels down a barely asphalted road. Tall trees surround the road. Liz looks through the window, looking into the woods. Trey concentrates on the road, but turns his head and looks out the window. He sees a WOMAN standing in the distance of the woods. She is looking at them. Trey turns his attention back to the road. EXT. PICNIC AREA Liz's car comes to a STOP. Both Trey and Liz step out from the car. Liz shivers, she reaches inside the car and pulls out a sweater. She slides it on. Trey looks around. It's strangely quiet and empty. Liz walks over to a picnic table and takes a seat. Trey looks over at her. LIZ So, what do we do now? TREY We look… LIZ Look for what? Trey looks over into the woods. He squints his eyes and then turns back to Liz. TREY C'mon…look. EXT. WOODS Trey and Liz are walking down a trail. Trey is pulling something out from his pocket. Liz looks ahead and sees a lake in the distance, they're approaching it. Liz looks at Trey, who has pulled something from his pocket. A picture. He hands the picture to Liz. TREY Look. Do you see it? LIZ What I'm I looking for? Trey grabs the picture away from Liz. They both stop walking as Trey holds up the picture in front of Liz. The picture is of a lake. A dock is placed in the center of the lake. Trey lowers the picture and Liz looks at the lake a couple of feet from them. There's a dock in the lake, it's identical to the one in the picture. They walk closer to the lake, stepping onto the shore of the lake. They notice the water is very calm. Trey looks at Liz. TREY We've found it. We're here. EXT. WOODS – LATER Trey and Liz are striding along through the woods. Liz shivers. Trey looks over at her and wraps his arm around her. TREY You know, we can leave if you want. LIZ No, I'm just cold. Lets just get this over with, okay? (beat) Best-case scenario…we do find others like her, then what? TREY We try to get them to help us. Maybe…we can find a spell or something to stop her. LIZ Spell or something? C'mon Trey, this is getting ridiculous. What if she's not even a witch? TREY Liz, you didn't see her room. I showed you the fucking books and shit, how could she not being doing some type of magic? LIZ Whatever. (beat) Worst-case scenario, we do find others like her and they try to kill us? TREY We're not even sure we'll find anyone. Trey's eyes widen. He quickly grabs Liz's shoulder. He gestures her to be quiet. They listen. Somewhere in the distance, the sounds of leaves being WALKED on can be heard. Both of them turn towards the SOUND. TREY Hello –- Liz quickly covers Trey's mouth. She shakes her head. Trey notices that Liz is deeply afraid. She BREATHS hard. The FOOTSTEPS stop. Trey grabs Liz's hand and they walk off the trial. They walk deeper into the woods. Trey looks at Liz, who is gripping his shoulder tightly. They look to their side. They push their way through bushes. EXT. PICNIC AREA They step onto another picnic area. Their eyes fixed on something. They reach a picnic table. Liz GASPS. On the table are a few dozen black candles, only one is lit. Liz blows it out. The wax from the candles has melted onto the wooden table. TREY She had the same type of candles in her room… Trey looks around. He looks at the ground and GASPS. Liz turns around and looks at him, looking at the ground. She quickly looks toward the ground. Drawn on the dirt are pentagram symbols. LIZ Pentagrams…are you getting scared yet? TREY Doesn't mean anything. LIZ Like hell it doesn't. That's for evil, Trey. That's not a good sign. TREY Lets get out of here. EXT. WOODS Trey and Liz are quickly walking through the woods, going in and out of trees. Liz impatiently looks around as she begins to BREATH hard. Trey also looks around, nervously. TREY Trial…where the hell is the trial? LIZ No, we're lost! No! TREY Calm down, Liz. We'll find the trial, we're going to be okay! LIZ No one is every okay when they're lost in the fucking woods! Trey looks up at the sky, rain clouds are moving in, darkening the sky. He looks over at Liz, who is frantically looking around. Tears form in her eyes. They continue walking and looking around. EXT. WOODS – LATER The sky has darkened even more. Liz rests against a tree, while Trey takes a seat on a tree stump. He looks over at Liz and GASPS. He jolts up. He pulls out another picture from his pocket and holds it up in front of his face. Liz walks over towards him. She looks at the picture and then turns ahead. The picture is the one with the carved symbols on it. The tree that Liz was resting against is the same tree from the photo. SOMEONE suddenly rushes up to them. A WOMAN. Both Trey and Liz SCREAM. She grins at them. Trey recognizes her, it's the woman he saw in the woods earlier. TREY Do you know a way out of here? WOMAN I know who you are. LIZ How do you know us? WOMAN You're the ones who murdered Rebecca Myles. Both Trey and Liz's faces drop. TREY Rebecca Myles? –- WOMAN Don't act stupid! We know, we all know that you two killed her. TREY How could you possibly know that? WOMAN She told us –- LIZ She's dead, though. WOMAN In our dreams, she told us who. She's haunting our dreams. TREY How do we stop her? WOMAN You can't, she was too strong and powerful before she died. Now, even after death she became even more powerful. (beat) The devil…he helped her and now she has returned back to us. Liz begins BREATHING hard. The woman closes her eyes and MUMBLES something. Trey and Liz start taking steps backwards. Raindrops begin to PLOP down on them. Trey looks up as the sky darkens, even more, right before his eyes. Liz turns around and starts running; grabbing Trey's arm, he follows. They run through the woods, through the rain, not looking back. Liz is YELLING as they run. The rain becomes heavier. Liz trips on a tree branch and falls to the ground. Trey trips on Liz's legs and falls to the ground, both of them land in the mud. Liz is CRYING. Trey jumps to his feet and helps Liz up. They start running again, but they bump into Rebecca! They SCREAM. She grins at them as they begin to walk backwards. They stare at her. TREY What do you want from us!? LIZ Just leave us alone! She walks closer toward Trey and Liz. Liz begins to SOB. TREY Just kill us already! Stop messing with us and just fucking do it, you bitch! Liz angrily looks over at Trey. They look back over at Rebecca. She's gone. REBECCA(OS) I only want you two… Trey and Liz begin looking around for her. No one. REBECCA(COUNT'D) What? You guys don't like my games? You should've never messed with me, now you pay. Brandon and Heather already have… Trey grabs Liz's arm and they run like hell. EXT. WOODS – LATER Trey and Liz are sprinting through the rain. They stop at a near oak tree. They try to catch their BREATH. Trey looks around the tree and SIGHS. Liz steps up next to him. She sees what he sees. They begin to walk. They reach an opening of a tunnel. Trey remembers a picture of the same tunnel. Both of them look inside; nothing can be seen through the darkness. They listen, nothing can be heard. Trey takes a step inside, Liz holds him back. TREY What? We got to go through. LIZ No, you actually think this is a good idea? I think to go in there would be a very bad idea. TREY C'mon, we can't find the trail, we can't find a road. This is an old railroad… Trey points to the ground, Liz looks and sees railroad tracks. She looks back up at Trey. TREY It has to lead somewhere, right? We have no other chose. INT. TUNNEL Trey and Liz walk very quietly down the extremely dark tunnel. They walk along the railroad tracks. Trey grabs Liz's hand and they begin to run down the tunnel. Trey and Liz's faces drop. They stop in their tracks and look ahead. Boulders and wood panels block the rest of the tunnel. Liz looks over at Trey. LIZ Oh…that's just great. They turn around and begin walking back. Trey trips over a track, he grabs a railing to help regain his balance. He stops. Liz continues walking, but stops. She turns around and sees Trey looking down at something. She walks over towards him. Next to the railing is a concrete staircase, leading downwards. He takes a step down. Liz looks down; a dimmed light can be seen at the end of the staircase. Liz joins Trey and they begin walking very slowly down the staircase. Liz flashes Trey a worried look. They take their last step from the staircase and land in the dirt. On the opposite side of Trey and Liz, is a door. A light can be seen glowing from behind the door. They walk toward the door. Liz begins to BREATH hard. They reach the door; it's a wooden door with cracks across it. Trey tries to look in through a gap, but can't see anything. He grips the doorknob. Liz grabs his hand and forces it off the doorknob. He SIGHS, grabbing it again. He twists the doorknob and he pushes the door open. Inside is a cave; the walls are rock and dirt. Wooden tables and chairs are scattered throughout. Nothing else is visible. Trey and Liz take a step inside. INT. CAVE They enter and look around. Liz notices up on the ceiling of the cave are dozens of dangling lamps, lighting up the cave. They walk deeper into the cave. Hundreds of unlighted candles are placed on a wide table. Trey looks around and sees a table of books. He grabs Liz's hand and they walk to the table. Trey opens one of the books, spells printed inside. Liz GASPS. TREY This is so –- LIZ What did you get me into? Trey places the book back. Trey turns around and is suddenly hit over the head with a piece of plywood. He falls to the ground, unconscious. Liz SCREAMS and quickly sees the woman from the woods approaching her with it. Liz turns around and runs. The woman stops. WOMAN Why did you have to kill her!? Liz stops and turns around. WOMAN You like our home? (beat) The others will be here soon… LIZ What is wrong with you people!? WOMAN Are you scared of us people? We're just a little different. LIZ No, you guys are sick. The woman starts running toward Liz, Liz turns around and runs toward a hallway of some sort. Liz YELLS, it's a dead end. She turns around, the woman is approaching her. She raises the plywood and is ready to strike Liz, when suddenly Trey pops up behind the woman and hits her on the back of the head. The woman falls to the ground. Liz jolts past the woman and grabs Trey, they turn around and run. Liz SCREAMS. Rebecca is standing by the entrance. They stop. Rebecca suddenly starts running at them. Trey YELLS. They turn around and run, Liz SCREAMS as the woman is slowly pulling herself up. Trey turns around and Rebecca's hands dart at Trey, knocking him down to the ground. Liz SCREAMS and runs away. Trey shoves Rebecca off of him. He stands up and runs away. He trips over something and falls flat on his face. He jolts up and looks at what he tripped on. An axe. His eyes light up and he quickly grabs it. He looks around. The woman is gone, Rebecca is gone, and Liz is gone. He grips the axe tightly. TREY Liz… Trey looks around in every direction. No one. It is disturbingly QUIET. He glances over at the entrance and quickly runs toward it. INT. TUNNEL Trey rapidly runs up the staircase, still gripping onto the axe. He reaches the top and looks toward the entrance of the tunnel. No one. He turns looks around the tunnel as he sprints to the entrance. TREY Liz! Liz…where are you!? EXT. WOODS – NIGHT Trey runs out of the tunnel and into the rain. He looks around. No one. He becomes panicky. He takes off, running in one direction. He runs past trees, bushes, and plants. He still grips the axe tightly in his hands. INT. CAVE SILENCE. Liz peeks her head up from behind a table. She looks around. No one. She slowly stands up. LIZ Trey… She looks around the entire area, no one is around. She SIGHS and walks around the table. She walks very QUIETLY and slowly toward the door Trey and her had entered from. Something CRASHES to the ground, behind her. Without looking back Liz runs to the door. She opens it and SCREAMS. Rebecca is standing on the other side of the door. Liz quickly backs up as Rebecca walks toward her. LIZ Stay away from me! Rebecca stops approaching her. Liz starts SOBBING. LIZ What do you want from us? (beat) What are you? How…are you alive? REBECCA I started… Her voice is strangely soft and QUIET. REBECCA(COUNT'D) …When I was thirteen years old, right after my brother died. I was depressed and lost… She holds up her wrists; ugly, long scars across them. REBECCA(COUNT'D) …Past mistakes. (beat) I started reading and learning about Wicca and then I decided to start trying…witchcraft. I became one of the advanced ones here. I became able to control the weather and then I learned how to cast hexes and spells. Rebecca raises her voice. REBECCA And then you four took everything away from me! Its okay though…when I died, I didn't die. (beat) My practices brought me back. Liz shakes her head and begins moving backwards. She looks very scared and frightened. REBECCA You think you're crazy, don't you? Liz backs up into a chair, she tumbles to the ground, but quickly stands up. Rebecca is still in the same spot. REBECCA I'm very much real… LIZ If you're real, then you're just like me? You feel pain? Liz swiftly picks up the chair she tripped on and throws it at Rebecca, hitting her in the chest. It falls to the ground, Rebecca doesn't budge. Liz BREATHS hard. Rebecca grins over at Liz. Liz turns around and reaches for another chair, she picks one up. She rushes over to Rebecca, SLAMMING the chair across her face. LIZ Just leave me alone, bitch! Stop! Rebecca reaches for her; she grabs Liz's arm and twists it. Liz YELLS in pain. Liz swings her free hand, punching Rebecca in the face. Rebecca lets go of Liz's arm. Liz pulls away and runs. She turns around and Rebecca SLAMS her entire body into Liz, pushing Liz onto a table. Liz SCREAMS as PLOPS to the ground. Liz crawls underneath the table. She stops and looks around. Rebecca can't be seen anywhere. Liz WHINES in fear. EXT. WOODS Trey, still holding the axe, continues to run through the woods and rain. Branches SLAP him in the face. He trips on a log, falling to the ground. The axe flies from his hands. Trey YELLS. He grabs a trunk of a tree, trying to pull himself to his feet. He looks around for the axe and spots it. He limps over to it and picks it up. INT. CAVE Liz is still underneath the table. She slows her BREATHING down and begins to crawl out. She huddles close to the ground, looking every which way. No one. Above and behind Liz is Rebecca, standing on top of the table. She slowly reaches out for Liz. Liz continues to look around, unknown to who is behind her. Two hands grab Liz's shoulder. Liz SCREAMS and is lifted off the ground. Rebecca throws her to the other side of the cave; Liz CRASHES onto tables and chairs. Liz hits the ground hard, dirt flying across her face. Liz begins to CRY and SOB. She tries to stand up, but SCREAMS in sheer pain. She turns and lifts up her pants leg. She GASPS. Her ankle is twisted. It is very read and swollen. She looks up and sees Rebecca standing above her. She quickly grabs at Liz, picking her up. Rebecca throws her again; Liz collides violently against the rocky wall of the cave, the sound of her back CRACKING is heard. Liz SCREAMS brutally as she falls to the ground. Trickles of blood flow out from behind her head. Liz SOBS in pain. She lays limp on the ground. She looks up, her face is dirty and bloody. Rope is suddenly placed around Liz's neck. A noose. Tears flow down Liz's cheek, washing away dirt and blood. Rebecca places her hands on Liz's neck. Liz closes her eyes, a low SOB escapes her throat. Rebecca SNAPS Liz's neck without any hesitation. The sickening sound of bones CRACKING can be heard. EXT. WOODS Heavy rain pours down onto Trey as he walks fast through the trees, still walking with a limp. He looks around. TREY Liz! Please, baby, answer me! He rubs his face, trying to get the rain out of his eyes. He slumps up against a tree. He listens and through the sound of the rain, the sound of branches SNAPPING is heard. Trey peeks his head from around the tree. No one. TREY Liz? He turns around and starts walking, again. He begins to run, with a limp. He looks back, no one. He turns around and continues to run. The rain is starting to settle. It gets lighter and lighter. Trey notices and SIGHS. EXT. WOODS – LATER The rain has stopped. Trey stops running and rests against something. He GASPS for air. He is extremely tired. He looks down and notices he's standing in a puddle of mud. He throws his head back, hitting something. Not wood from a tree, but steel. Trey quickly walks forward and looks back. A sign of relief spreads across his face. His eyes travel up toward the sky. Rested in front of Trey is a watchtower, standing fifteen feet upwards. He walks over toward a ladder and quickly begins climbing up it, he holds the axe in one hand and climbs with the other. He climbs a little higher, but a hand suddenly grabs his foot. Trey YELLS and looks down. It's the woman; she is on the ground, reaching her hands out. She grins up at Trey as she pulls on his leg. Trey kicks his leg, but looses balance, falling only a couple of inches. His hand grips the ladder and he quickly climbs up the ladder, not even looking down. INT. WATCHTOWER Trey pulls himself through the opening on the floor. He SLAMS the entry flap and quickly grabs boxes and shoves them onto the entrance. Everything goes SILENT. He realizes he is holding the axe. He quickly pushes everything off of the entrance and lifts the flap. He GASPS. The woman has pulled herself to the entrance. Trey YELLS and brings down the axe. The axe gruesomely SMASHES into the woman's head. Trey watches as her body, with the axe still intact in her skull, fall all the way down. She lands in the mud with a loud THUD. Trey SIGHS and begins BREATHING hard. He closes the entrance and backs up into a corner, hiding in the darkness. He SLAMS down on the wooden floor, he YELLS in anger. He closes his eyes and begins to SOB. INT. WATCHTOWER – LATER Everything is SILENT. Trey is still huddled in the corner, looking very desperate and scared. He slowly stands up and walks over to a shelf. He pulls a flashlight close to him and CLICKS it on. Something startles him. He listens, someone climbing up the ladder can be heard. He accidentally drops the flashlight to the ground, making the light shut off. He moves back, up against a window. He listens to the SILENCE. REBECCA(OS) Trey…I'm coming for you. Trey eyes the clutter on top of the entrance. He looks around and walks toward the shelf, he tips it over onto the entrance. He backs up into another corner. REBECCA(OS) You killed Madeline. (beat) So, you did have the balls to kill someone else. TREY Just leave us alone! REBECCA(OS) Us? You're the only one left, sweetheart. Trey's face turns into shock and disgust. TREY What do you mean!? REBECCA(OS) Exactly what I said. TREY No! You're lying! Suddenly, the sound of BANGING can be heard coming from the entrance. With every BANG, the clutter on top of it shakes. The shelf, boxes, everything blocking the entrance suddenly flies off the ground, landing everywhere. A box SHATTERS the window behind Trey. He falls to the ground. He looks and GASPS. Nothing is blocking the entrance anymore. It's slowly pushed up. Trey jumps to his feet. Rebecca climbs inside. She stands up, smirking at Trey. He turns around and grabs a broken piece of a chair. He turns around, ready to strike. Rebecca forcefully shoves on Trey's chest, sending him backwards. Trey falls out of the window! EXT. WATCHTOWER He falls out, but he manages to grab the ledge. Rebecca appears at the window and looks down at him. She reaches out. Rebecca's hand SLAMS down onto Trey's fingers. Trey YELLS in pain and fright. She raises her hand again and makes a fist, she SLAMS down her hand onto Trey's, again. She raises her fist once more and brings it down, hitting Trey's fingers again. Trey lets go and begins to fall. He YELLS. He falls far from the watchtower, landing in a lake below. EXT. LAKE Ten seconds pass before Trey reaches the surface. He GASPS for air. He looks up at the watchtower, Rebecca is no longer at the window. He starts swimming towards the shore. EXT. WOODS – LATER Drenched in his clothes, Trey travels along the woods. With every step he takes, he gains speed. He continuously glances behind him. He takes a precaution with everything around him. He stops and turns, eyeing a tree. It's the tree with the carved symbols on them. He looks around, trying to recognize the area. He listens. The only sound that can be heard is the WIND brushing up against plant life. He looks up at the sky; the moon is being covered by another rain cloud. He watches as the stars begin to disappear behind the clouds. He starts walking again. He pushes himself through bushes and long grass. He steps on something hard. He stops and looks down. He is stood on part of a railroad track. He follows the track with his eyes as he sees the opening of the tunnel. He eyes the tracks in the opposite direction, the tracks shortly disappear into the woods. He looks back at the tunnel. INT. TUNNEL Trey QUIETLY walks down the staircase. He tries his hardest to be extremely quiet. He walks over to the closed entrance door. He places his hands on the door, but hesitates. He turns around, just making sure that no one is there. He turns around and gently pushes the door open. INT. CAVE The lamps are still lighting up the room. Trey opens the door all the way and he slowly enters. He looks around. Everything is SILENT and no one can be seen. He sees a hatchet buried halfway in a block of wood on the other side of the cave. Trey runs toward it. He reaches it and pulls it out of the wood. He looks around, there's a strangely ominous SILENCE. He turns his attention to the side of him. He slowly steps forward. His face is twisted in pure horror. His eyes are bulged to the extreme as tears begin to flow out onto his cheeks. His mouth opens in pure fright as a GASP escapes his throat. He begins to HYPERVENTILATE. He continues to step forward, very slowly. His face turns into pure disgust. He lets the hatchet fall to the ground as he falls to his knees. He SOBS and CRIES. Six feet off the ground is the hanging body of Liz. Her body dangles from a rafter not high from the ground. The noose around her neck is extremely tight, twisting the skin. Blood from the wounds, flow down her body, seeping through her clothes. Trey continues to CRY and YELL. REBECCA(OS) Sad sight, isn't it? Trey YELLS loudly and picks up the hatchet. He quickly stands up and turns around. No one. REBECCA(OS) Do you feel the end coming? I do…the end for you. Trey looks around, turning in circles, looking for Rebecca. He turns around and faces the entrance. He takes off, running toward the door. A hand snatches the hatchet away from Trey's hand. Trey YELLS and looks back. He YELLS again as Rebecca dives at him, swinging the hatchet. She slices through air as Trey dives to the ground. Trey lifts up as the hatchet SLAMS onto the exact spot where his head was. He looks up as Rebecca raises the hatchet. Trey kicks Rebecca in the face, making her fall back. Trey jumps to his feet and rushes toward Rebecca, ripping the hatchet away from her. Trey impacts the hatchet into Rebecca's stomach. He backs up as he eyes Rebecca; she looks unharmed. She pulls the hatchet out from her stomach. Trey YELLS and runs around her, heading for the entrance. He runs out through the door in a hurry, not looking back. EXT. TUNNEL Trey runs down the tunnel, but he trips on one of the tracks. He quickly jumps up and looks back. Rebecca isn't there. He turns around and runs like hell, out of the tunnel. EXT. WOODS Trey continues running; he falls to the ground, thinking of Heather, Brandon, and Liz. He CRIES and YELLS loudly. He forces himself to stand up. A full blast of wind blows past him. TREY I can't do this anymore! If you want me, I'm right here! Just come and get me bitch! He looks around. No one, everything is SILENT. TREY Show yourself! I'm here waiting for you! EXT. WOODS – LATER Trey drags himself through the woods. He takes a seat on something and rests. He GASPS for air and closes his eyes. He places his hands in front of his face and he burrows his head in them. He feels on what he's sitting on. A confused look spreads across his face. He jolts up and turns around. He slightly smiles. In front of him is a picnic table. He looks around and realizes he's in the picnic area. He turns around and starts running. Parked, not far from the table is Liz's car. He reaches the car, pulling on the door handle. It's locked. He pulls out the car keys from his pocket. He fiercely jams the key into the keyhole and throws open the door. He jumps inside, SLAMMING the car door. INT. LIZ'S CAR He shoves a key into the ignition and the car ROARS to life. He turns around in his seat, looking around for one last time. No one can be seen outside in the woods. Trey shivers from being cold and CLICKS on the heater. He reverses the car and drives forward. EXT. WOODS – ROAD Liz's car speeds down the road. The headlights flicker on, leaving most of the dreadfully dark woods behind him. INT. LIZ'S CAR Trey concentrates on the road, not noticing that a shadow appears in the backseats. Slowly, a figure soon rises behind the driver's seat. Rebecca. She looks down onto him. Trey senses something behind him. He glances at the rearview mirror and GASPS. Rebecca quickly brings down her arms, gripping Trey's neck. He swerves the steering wheel. Rebecca YELLS as she continues to strangle him. Trey releases his hands from the steering wheel and tries to pry Rebecca's hands off his throat. His foot is still on the gas pedal. He can't make Rebecca's hands budge, so he starts swinging his hands. He hits her in the face, but she doesn't seem to mind. Rebecca digs her nails into Trey's neck, making him YELL. EXT. WOODS Liz's car drifts off the road and into the woods, almost hitting forest trees. Through the windshield we can see Trey hitting the side of Rebecca's head. INT. LIZ'S CAR Both Trey and Rebecca are YELLING. Rebecca continues to dig her nails into his neck, making blood flow out. Rebecca yanks on him, pulling him back. Trey's foot releases from the gas pedal, making the car begin to decelerate. Rebecca pulls him upward and back, into the backseat. She is too strong for Trey. Trey's feet kick in the air, hitting the steering wheel, making it turn. EXT. WOODS Liz's car begins to turn before SLAMMING into a boulder. The car flips several times before landing on its side. We can hear Trey YELLING. The car tips over, landing upside down. Gas from the tank pours out and runs down the side of the car, landing on the ground. A spark can be seen towards the front of the car. A small fire starts. INT. LIZ'S CAR Trey is crawling through glass; he glances back for Rebecca. He quickly turns around as a cloud of smoke fogs his sight. He cuts his arm on a sharp piece of glass; he doesn't care. He continues crawling towards the windshield. Rebecca sits up from behind Trey and grabs at him, snatching his legs. Trey YELLS and kicks her in the face. She lets go, but dives again at him, landing on top of him. Trey rolls over onto his back and faces Rebecca. He swings his fist at her, but she grabs his arm. REBECCA I just want to let you know…no matter how much you fight, you'll never get away from me. Rebecca twists Trey's hand, dislocating the wrist. Trey YELLS. With his free hand he grabs a jagged piece of glass next to him. He stabs Rebecca in chest. She lets go of his arm and he swings both of his fists at her, knocking her off of him. Without hesitation Trey turns around and crawls to the windshield, he doesn't bother looking back. EXT. WOODS Trey exits and jumps to his feet. Rebecca grins at him from inside the car. A suddenly explosion hurls Trey through the air, landing about ten feet from the burning car. He shields himself from the fire. He suddenly starts YELLING. His left arm is on fire! It spreads up towards the neck area. Trey YELLS and rolls on the ground, his burning arm and shoulder finally go out. Trey SIGHS. His left arm and shoulder is practically charred. Trey GASPS in unbearable pain. He forces himself to lift up. He looks at the burning car, some of the trees, bushes, and other plants around are on fire. TREY Rest in hell… Trey lowers his head to the ground and he closes his eyes. EXT. WOODS – DAWN FIREFIGHTERS and POLICE have arrived. The firemen have put out most of the fires, but are still working on a few. Trey is being lifted in a stretcher and is slid into an ambulance. He looks like an emotional messed up person, a sadden look spread out across his face. TREY(OS) And now I'm here… FADE TO INT. CLINIC – OFFICE Trey sits in a chair, with a hospital gown on. His left arm, shoulder, and part of his neck are bandaged up. He sits across from a DOCTOR, who is taking notes on a piece of paper. TREY Look, I've told you the same damn story several times and –- DOCTOR I know, but Mr. Bennett you have to look at it through my perspective. Your story is too unbelievable…too unrealistic. TREY It's the damn truth. She killed my friends and I killed her. DOCTOR Right. (beat) Listen, I spoke to the fire chief and even some of the officers that were present there at the sight. You know what I found out? There was no other body found in that car. TREY There had to be, though. I saw her in the car when it exploded. DOCTOR But there wasn't any trace of her presence in that car. No DNA…nothing. TREY You think I'm crazy, don't you? DOCTOR As I said earlier, we are questioning your insanity. TREY Tell me something then, if Rebecca Myles didn't kill my friends, who did? Did Heather jump out from the window? Did Brandon stab himself in the back of the head? Did my girlfriend hang herself? DOCTOR Maybe…you did those things? TREY Don't accuse me of anything! DOCTOR Well, you just did admit in your story that you and your friends did kill Rebecca Myles. (beat) Maybe you lost it Mr. Bennett? Trey doesn't respond. He stares in disbelief at the doctor. DOCTOR We're still going to need to keep you here for further testing. TREY You can't hold me against my will. DOCTOR Oh, but we can…especially in situations like these. (beat) Truthfully, if you were me…would you believe any of your story? Trey looks up at him, speechless. DOCTOR Exactly. INT. ROOM Trey is escorted in by a GUARD. The guard turns around and leaves, CLOSING and LOCKING the door. Trey looks around the very small room, with only a bed in the center. He lies down on the bed, staring at the ceiling. He takes in a deep BREATH. TREY I'm not crazy… He closes his eyes. REBECCA(OS) But, everyone thinks so. Trey's eyes open and he quickly sits up. He looks around the room and hops off the bed. He moves toward a window, where the sun lightly shines in. He looks around the entire room. No one. FADE OUT. THE END
