- 2. SCENE ONE INT. ATTIC Ascruffy greasy long haired girl around 20 years old is kneeling curiously observing a woodlouse scurrying across a table. She mumbles incoherently but softly and affectionately towards it. Her index finger slowly meets the back of the woodlouse crushing and eventually killing it.She continues mumbling at it gradually getting confused as to why its not responding. She becomes angry and screams at the woodlouse. Fear overtakes her and she kneels up backing away with her hand shielding her eyesight from the woodlouse. A chair opposite the table makes a good place for her to curl up into the fetal position. She sits panting calming down slowly. Her fearful expression is suddenly dropped as something in front of her catches her gaze. An innocent teddy bear sits in a neutral position facing her on the table opposite. She appears happy as she looks on. The teddy bear now has one paw raised as if waving at her. She slowly raises her hand to wave back. Three loud evenly spaced clicks as the hatch quickly opens expel this action. The ladder slowly slides down revealing a bushy beard attached to a much older man. MAN Why do you always look so afraid? (BEAT) Daddy loves you. He takes steps towards the girl his boots echo in the room. She gives the same expression of fear, staring, working herself up into panting panic. The man places a screwdriver on the table. The girl still screams. (CONTINUED)

ATTIC The girl lays with her back against the wall, legs splayed, with a black eye and a trail of blood running from her nostril. She gradually comes to slowly regaining consciousness between blinks. Her hand slowly moves towards her face touching the blood. She retracts her hand back in front of her and stares at the blood on her finger. She gets scared and quickly feeds her body up the wall with her hands into a semi kneeling semi standing position. Her hand reaches between her legs. She pulls her hand back and looks at her fingers in awe. Her fingers now have considerably more blood on them than before. The teddy bear remains in a neutral position. Her expression is that of fear until she locks eyes with teddy bear. The teddy bear’s face remains the same. She moves over to the table kneeling down and stretching her arm out presenting her bloody fingers to the teddy bear. She nods her head encouragingly. The bear now has his paws covering his eyes. The girls happy expression vanishes and she begins to weep. The teddy bear is still covering its eyes. She gets angry picks up the teddy bear and throws him in the corner. The teddy bear is now in a neutral position, the blood from her fingers has stained its fur. (CONTINUED)
- 4. CONTINUED: 3. Her head is buried in her arms as she weeps. A loud knock is heard and she raises her head, she knows whats coming. She begins to cower but notices the screwdriver on the table. Another knock is heard. She picks up the screwdriver, studies it and then looks at the dead woodlouse. She then looks at the screwdriver again with a look of intent. A third knock is heard. She moves next to the chair and cowers in the fetal position, concealing the screwdriver. Muffled voices can be heard through the wall. MUFFLED VOICE ONE Get that sick fuck out of here. MUFFLED VOICE TWO Another barge should break it down. Another loud knock hits the hatch. It flings open with the ladder instantly sliding down. VOICE ONE Oh my god. Why do you look so afraid? Its okay, we’re gonna get you out of here. They take steps towards the girl. The teddy bear lays in the corner covering its eyes. She suddenly jumps up, lunging at the men who walk in raising the screwdriver and stabbing wildly. FADE TO BLACK
