The Dorsey Cabin

V

EXT. THE DORSEY CABIN - 1:30 AM

She cautiously opens the door and steps outside into the cold, frosty night. The woods are pitch black, causing Kristy to squint as she tries to navigate her surroundings.

But just as Kristy takes one step forward, she trips over a lumpy boulder. Kristy winces but pushes herself up, stumbling slightly. Regretting her decision not to grab a flashlight, she shouts Chase's name over and over again.

KRISTY
(desperate)
Chase? Chase! Where are you?

The sounds, seemingly coming from the usually tranquil woods, come from all directions. Kristy opens her mouth to yell again but is quickly shoved to the ground, a gloved mouth covering her lips.

Her instincts kick in. She jabs her elbow up, connecting with the throat of a masked stranger. The person grunts in pain, giving Kristy the time she needs to pull the mask away from the stranger's face.

KRISTY
(freezes, holding a black face mask)
R-Ryan?

Her boyfriend, Ryan, stares back at her with cold, calculating eyes. He, taking advantage of Kristy's shock, grabs her left wrist.

KRISTY (CONT'D)
What...What are y-you doing?

Ryan answers with a right hook punch to Kristy's face. She falls, unconscious. He drags her along until they reach the entrance of the woods.

RYAN

(hesitates, but then squares his shoulders)

I'm sorry, Kristy. But you didn't listen. You never have. And now...you have to pay the price.
