5. Synopsis
*FLASHBACK* A child is messing around with some teenagers/ older kids around a pond when the child slips and falls in the pond and drowns.
The teenagers try to help him but can’t save him and he drowns. This all happens on the 5th November.
*FASTFORWARD 5 YEARS* A new girl joins college and wants to ‘make friends’ so invites some people from her class to a bonfire party, which
also happens to be on the 5th November. The night comes around and everyone is standing around the fire talking and joking around. Some
people get bored (boy 1 & boy 2) and they wander off to go and ‘explore’. They come across a newspaper with a story on the front featuring a
boy who drowned in a pond, they read the paper and joke about how the place they are at has a pond too. This is when Molly kills the two
boys. She attacks one and kills him whilst the other runs off and tries to escape by getting into a car however, the car is locked and he can’t
get in, this allows time for molly to chase after him and kill him too.
Meanwhile the others are still standing around the fire talking when they notice the two boys absence. This is when Molly reappears acting
innocent when questioned on their whereabouts. Boy 3 goes to get his coat from the car but as he shuts the car door he hears a noise and
looks around, as he goes to walk away he gets grabbed around the leg by the half dead body. He tries to run off but as he does so Molly
reappears with a pitchfork and he realises what she has done. He calls out to Sydney and she comes running. However just before Sydney can
reach him and save him Molly stabs him with the pitchfork and kills him.
Sydney sees this and runs off and hides in one of the old buildings to escape from Molly. Whilst in the barn she finds another newspaper
similar to the one the other two boys previously found and she begins to read the front page. On the front page is the same story about the
boy who drowned in the pond, however as she picks up the paper two photographs fall out, the images show a family with a young boy and
what appears to be his sister and her parents. This is when the ‘penny drops’ and Sydney realises that it was Molly’s brother that drowned and
they are at the place that it all happened, the memories come flooding back to Sydney instantly. It doesn’t take long for her to realise that
Molly is taking revenge on them for ‘killing’ her brother. Sydney hears a noise and fears it could be Molly so runs out of the barn and back to
near the fire. As she looks around in a state of panic she catches a glimpse of Molly behind the fire wielding the same pitchfork that she had
previously used. Sydney runs to near the pond and Molly chases her and tries to stab her, however she misses on her many attempts.
They both stop as they hear a noise coming from the pond and they both stop and stare to find a small boy on a boat floating towards the
waters edge. Molly drops the pitchfork and steps forwards realising that it is her brother, she calls out to him but gets no response. Meanwhile
Sydney is laying on the floor in shock. The boat slowly drifts closer to the edge and the boy stays quiet and walks further along the boat, Molly
goes to reach out to touch him however as she does he grabs hold of her and drags her under the water, both of them never resurface.
