EXT. Woods- Mid-day

Two typical teenage boys walk worriedly deep into the scary forest. Tom Glasgow (17) and Joey Carabini (17) are lost and start to blame each other for taking them into the forest.

Joey turns to Tom and worriedly asks him.

Joey

So, do you know where we are then?

Tom

Yeah of course mate I have been here before.

The Two boys keep walking through the mysterious forest both confused and anxious of their surroundings until they reach a cross path within the forest and Joey hears something in the distance.

Joey

What was that?

Tom

What are you on about mate?

Joey

I just heard something in the distance.

Tom

I didn’t hear anything.

 Joey

Mate, can we please just go this way, I have a bad feeling about this.

Tom

Yeah of course mate, I’ve heard this way is quicker.

The two boys carry on walking down this strange dirt path not knowing that they are being watched from afar.

The boys stop in which they think is a safe and suitable and rest near tree that had recently fallen down.

Joey

Ok mate I’m just going to go for a piss.

Tom

Yeah ok mate, be quick I will just wait here.

Joey walks off carelessly further into the woods not knowing that the killer is watching his every move as he tries to find a tree where he can go to toilet. While Tom is waiting back by the old, fallen down tree.

Joey arrives at the tree to go to the toilet as he turns his back the killer closes in on him. Meanwhile Tom is clueless about what is happen-ing to his friend at this moment in time.

Joey hears the killer’s footsteps as he approaches him and turns but finds out he is trapped so he begins to beg for his life he trembles and finally opens his mouth and says to the killer softly.

Joey

Please, No please I beg you!

But it is too late.

Meanwhile, back at Tom’s resting spot he checks his phone anxiously for the time and sighs

 Tom

Where is he? What could be taking him so long?

So Tom decides to go and look for his friend.

In the distance he sees that something is wrong with a few of the tree they are painted with blood so he rushes to find his friend so that they can escape as quickly as possible.

But he is too late. Tom sees what appear to be his beloved friend’s feet sticking out at the base of the huge, old, oak tree. Tom puts his hands over his face and he goes to check if he is really dead. But suddenly he sees a dark figure in the distance watching him

Tom

What is that?!?

He gets up off the floor and runs for his life with the killer following him closely behind as he runs for his live. He trips over a small tree stump hidden in some leafs while spraining his ankle in the process and tries to carry on limping before taking shelter and tries to hide behind a small Burch tree. He looks over his should while taking cover behind the tree and turns around only to find a meat cleaver dripping with blood lodged into the side of the tree he as sees this he yells and screams at the top of his voice.

Tom

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
