DEVOID
INT. HALLWAY JUST INFRONT OF DOOR – EVENING
(9PM)
Anna runs through the door and
slams it behind her. She locks it leaves the keys in and stands back from it
before a few moments of silence as she stares at the door. She slowly walks
into her front room but a dark figure has appeared at the door and she hasn’t
noticed. She slowly walks into her front room and sits down, sitting with her
head looking tilted back and sighs.
INT. FRONT ROOM – EVENING (9PM)
ANNA
(Tired
and under her breath)
I can’t do this anymore
A small scratching noise can be
heard from upstairs like someone scratching the inside of a coffin, and Anna
starts to tense up. The scratching gets louder and louder and Anna stands up
and slowly and quietly makes her way to the bottom of the stairs.
INT. HALLWAY BOTTOM OF THE STAIRS – EVENING
(9PM)
ANNA
(hesitant)
h...hello
The
scratching stops.
ANNA
(louder)
Hello
Anna starts to make her way
slowly up the stairs. With each step she tries to see around the wall and see
what is making the noise. She reaches the top of the stairs and starts to look
around the rooms in silence and see there is nothing there.
INT. UPSTAIRS BEDROOM – EVENING (9PM)
Then Anna hears a bang from downstairs and the
noise of someone climbing the stairs. She dives into a cupboard and leaves it
open a bit to see out.
INT. CUPBOARD – EVENING (9PM)
She sees a figure come up the stairs and start
to walk in the room she is hiding in. Anna holds her hand over her mouth to
stop herself from screaming as she makes a slight squeal noise. The dark figure
starts to walk around the room and walks out and starts to rummage through the
contents of the other room. Anna sees an opportunity to get out and decides to
make a run for the stairs and try and get out the door.
ANNA
(panting)
Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit. Shit.
Anna runs down the stairs as the
dark figure stares at her from the other room, unbeknownst by Anna.
INT. HALLWAY – EVENING
When Anna reaches the bottom of the stairs she
sees the keys are missing but knows there are some in a draw in the kitchen so
runs as fast as she can to it.
INT. KITCHEN (NO LIGHTS ON) – EVENING (9PM)
She pulls open the draw and
starts to rummage through the pieces of paper to find them
ANNA
(panicking)
Come on where are they
She funds the keys and darts
for the back door and tries to remember which one it was but in her panic she
drops them, making a loud noise. There is a short silence before a loud bang
and an aggressive scream of anger from upstairs followed by loud footsteps
heading for the stairs. Anna picks up the keys again and to open the door as
the footsteps get closer and closer.
ANNA
Come on come on come on
Anna opens the door and we see
a dark figure burst through the doorway from the stairs behind Anna
ANNA
(Panicking and screaming)
Yes
EXT. BACK GARDEN OF HOUSE SHOWING THE BACK OF
THE HOUSE – EVENING (9PM)
Anna runs through the door and
into the garden and we see a dark figure stood at the door just watching her
run away
