2. 1 EXT. BUS STOP - EVENING 1
A quiet bus stop on a narrow road opposite a dark woods.

clothing - is leaning against the bus stop. Her phone
buzzes.

POV down on phone face.
Message:
"Your choice"
NEW ANGLE Kate’s face screws up and reddens, and her eyes
become watery, she starts to huff and puff.
Lilly - young, girly clothing, loose bunches, a comforter
- shuffling next to Kate, runs her hands through the
comforter and quietly glances up innocently at Kate.
Kate angrily starts stomping her foot on the floor and
then starts pacing back and forth.
Lilly raises her hand and gently taps on Kate’s arm.

3. CONTINUED: 2.
Kate stops in her tracks.
Kate shoots a deadly glare at Lilly. Kate walks back over
to lean against the bus stop staring at her phone in deep
thought.
Lilly walks over and cuddles up to the Kate’s arm.
Kate jumps up from leaning and grunts as she moves Lilly
and places her in the bus stop.
KATE
Don’t move.
Kate then turns and walks away from the bus stop and down
the road.
Lilly waits at the bus stop as she awkwardly watches Kate
walk away, Lillys breathing becomes unsteady, fingers
twitch and her legs shake.
Lilly’s eyes squint in the direction of the figure of
Kate.
Lilly pulls out a little flip phone from her pocket and
presses some buttons and the phone starts to ring.
LILLY
Can you come back?
Kate turns around and stares back in the direction of the
bus stop.
KATE(V.O.)
No stay there.
The phone cuts off and Lilly watches as Kate turns back
around and walks out of vision down a path on her left.
Lilly cherishes the last glimpse of Kate with a shot of
fear in her eyes.
2 EXT. ROAD SIDE - EVENING 2
It’s starting to get dark and there are cars zooming past,
with their lights shining brightly. A MAN with a dog
pounds down the road towards Lilly.
Lilly spots the man with the dog and scurries down the
road in the direction that Kate went. Lilly walks down the
side road and approaches a dark myserious wood. Lilly
hesitates before walking in.
EXT. WOODS - EVENING
The woods are dark and overgrown, the trees eery shadows
are cast everywhere by the light from the full moon in the
night sky.
(CONTINUED)
4. CONTINUED: 3.
Lilly pulls out her small phone and dials. But the phone
stop ringing with no answer. She pauses for a second and
calls again.
LILLY
Where are you?
There is interference on the phone.
KATE (V.O.)
Lilly...
The phone cuts off and Lilly puts the phone in her pocket.
She looks around in circles at all the possible routes.
She stops and starts running down a thin path with
thistles everywhere. Lillys running becomes faster and her
legs get stabed by the sharp throns.
Lilly’s run becomes unsteady as she staggers along. She
trips on a root and falls to the floor.
Lilly pulls the phone out of her pocket and clutching it
in her small hand, she calls Kate.
LILLY
Kate where are you?
I hurt my foot...
The interferrence stops any reply from reaching Lilly and
then the call is cut.
She stares up at the night sky peering through the
treetops, and starts to cry and curls herself into a ball
on the floor.
3 EXT. WOODS - EVENING 3
In another section of the woods Kate approaches the bench
and takes a seat looking around. Her face bears a worried
expression. She starts to mutter inaudiblely.
The concern on Kate’s face grows into an expression of
panic. She looks down at her phone and sighs before
putting it back in her pocket. Her actions demonstrate
conflict as she goes to leave before turning back to take
the seat whilst her eyes search the woods.
Kate struggles a deep breath, gets up and starts to pace
which builds up into a sprint back into the direction she
came from. The sweat starts to appear on her forehead and
tears form in her eyes.
Kate stops as the tears start to pour, she repeats the
same mutters under her breath and she holds her head in
her hands. She screams into the night before beginning to
sprint again.
5. 4.
4 EXT. WOODS - EVENING 4
Kate still running spots Lilly on the floor and runs up
and tightly hugs her.
Lilly clings onto Kate.
Kate picks Lilly up and she starts to walk off with her.
Kate rests her head against Lilly’s.
KATE
I am sorry
