Hunted

EXT. WOODS- NIGHT

A deaf teenager and his friend are walking through the woods in the cold moonlit night.

DEAF TEENAGER (IN SIGN LANGUAGE)

"Where are we going?"

FRIEND

"Don’t worry. We’re gonna have some fun."

DEAF TEENAGER (IN SIGN LANGUAGE)

"You better tell me now. I don’t like this.

FRIEND

"Love my friend. That’s where we’re headed."

In the distance behind them, a shadow runs past the camera.

DEAF TEENAGER (IN SIGN LANGUAGE)

"What are you talking about?"

FRIEND

"I’ve noticed you could use someone to love up on."

DEAF TEENAGER (IN SIGN LANGUAGE)

"I am perfectly happy."

FRIEND

Trust me. You’ll flip for what I’m gonna show you.

DEAF TEENAGER (IN SIGN LANGUAGE)

"Great."

Rustling in the short distance. The friend looks around immediately.

DEAF TEENAGER (IN SIGN LANGUAGE) (CONT'D)

"What’s wrong?"

FRIEND

"Nothing. I think it was just an animal."

DEAF TEENAGER (IN SIGN LANGUAGE)

"I known we shouldn’t have come."

FRIEND

"We’re good. We’re fine."

They continue walking. Another rustling. A branch snaps. The friend immediately turns around. A dark figured woman aggressively grabs the friend by the neck and strangles him.

The deaf teenager is paralyzed with fear but cannot make a sound as his friend is being murdered. He takes off running in the direction they were walking with no telling where he’s going.

No telling where the dark figured lady was, the teenage boy looks around frantically. Then trips and falls down a hill. He eventually lands in the backyard of a house.

INT. GIRL’S HOUSE- SAME

A group of girls are in the dark house watching a movie in the living room. A jump scare occurs and they all jump and scream. Silence. Then the front door loudly knocks. They all jump again.

GIRL #2

"Don’t answer that."

GIRL #1

"Relax it’s just our uber order."

GIRL #2

"If you ain’t back in 5 min. We out."

GIRL #3

"Shut up. We’ll be right here."

Girl #1 gets up and goes to the door. She opens it and the deaf teenager is standing there breathing heavy.

GIRL #1

"Yes? Can I help you?"

The teenage boy isn’t sure what to do or say.

GIRL #1 (CONT'D)

"I’m sorry. You’re deaf right?"

The boy nods.

GIRL #1 (CONT'D)

"I’ll get you a pen and paper."

Girl #1 gets a pen and paper. As she walks back we see the dark shadow woman in the distance. She comes back to the boy.

GIRL #1 (CONT'D)

"Here you go."

The boy writes on the paper and hands it to the girl. She reads it. It reads, “you have to get out now. There is a crazy woman in the woods trying to kill people.” The girl gets a disgusted look on her face.

GIRL #1 (CONT'D)

"This is a joke right? I think you need to leave."

The boy pleads with the girl and then asks for the paper back. She gives the paper back and he writes more on it. She takes it back and it now reads, “she killed my friend right in front of me. You have to run.”

GIRL #1 (CONT'D)

Where is this lady then? I don’t see anybody out here. Play a prank on somebody else before I call the police.

Right at that moment the possessed woman is at the living room window with her face lit up and is peeking at girls #2 and #3. The girls scream and come running out the room. Girl #1 and the teenage boy are startled. They run to the other girls’ aid.

GIRL #1 (CONT'D)

"What’s going on?!"

GIRL #2

Somebody was right there in the window looking at us in the window. It was a woman.

Girl #1 looks right at the boy.

GIRL #1

"You better not be playing with us."

The boy throws up his hands and shakes his head. The front door slams shut. Everyone jumps and turns around to nothing but darkness. Girl #1 pulls out her phone and cuts on the flashlight to look at the door but no one is there.

GIRL #3

"I think she’s in here."

GIRL #1

"That’s it I’m calling the police."

Girl #1 dials 911. The operator answers. “I’m sorry but the number cannot be completed as dialed. Please hang up and try again.”

GIRL #1 (CONT'D)

"Really?! That’s just great."

GIRL #2

"What do we do now?"

GIRL #1

"I mean it’s just one woman right? Why don’t we just kick her out?"

GIRL #2

"Uh uh. We saw that bitch’s face. She didn’t look...human."

GIRL #3

"Yeah why don’t we just leave while we can?"

GIRL #1

"We're not leaving. There’s four of us."

Girl #1 points to the teenage boy.

GIRL #1 (CONT'D)

"You lead the way."

She hands the flashlight to him and he grabs whatever he can to use as a weapon and they all walk slowly around the house without making a sound.

INT. HALLWAY-CONTINUOUS

They are walking down the hallway. The flashlight is the only light surrounded by black.

GIRL #1

"Come on out!"

GIRL #2

"I don’t think you should be talking to her like that."

GIRL #1

"So what? What is she gonna do?"

Girl #3 looks toward down the hallway and recognizes something at the end of the hallway.

GIRL #3

"What’s that down there?"

Everyone turns their heard toward the end of the hallway. Girl #1 points the boy in the direction they are looking. They all see the dark woman’s head peeking around the corner.

Chills run down everyone’s spine. The woman slowly comes out into the hallway and the suddenly chases after them. Everyone screams and scrambles away.

The possessed woman grabs girl #3 and throws her against the wall and chokes her mercilessly. Girl #3 falls with no life in her.

INT. BEDROOM- SAME

Girl #2 tries to hide under a bed but the woman pulls her out from under the bed and then rips her throat out.

INT. CLOSET- LATER

Girl #1 is hiding in a closet and is looking for the woman. She looks through the cracks. She stays silent as the woman walks by the closet slowly. The woman stops but shortly walks away.

The coast seems clear. Girl #1 slowly walks out of the closet. She looks to her right and the woman isn’t there. She turns to her left and the woman is standing there with her back to the girl.

The girl walks silently in the other direction. She starts to turn around but then immediately grabbed by the woman and killed.

INT. FRONT DOOR- LATER

The teenage boy is frantically looking around in the darkness. He heads to the front door and tries to get out. The door does not budge. The woman is coming down the steps in the distance.

He turns around and the woman isn’t there but the boy readies his weapon and the flashlight. He walks around looking for the woman. He finds one of the girl’s body and is petrified.

He starts to back up but is met by the possessed woman right behind him. He turns around quickly and the light hits her blood curdling face.

EXT. GIRL’S HOUSE- SAME

We get a shot of outside the house as it zooms out. Silence.
