1. EXT - CAMPSITE - NIGHT
Its almost impossible to see anything, if it wasnt for
the bonfire lighting the surrounding area around it, the
woods would be pitch black.
A TENT is set up not to far away from the bonfire, a
female's giggles can be heard coming from it.
2. INT - TENT - CONTENTIOUS
Its only a small tent, which could no more then two,
maybe three people. A Couple are laying down, facing each
other.
The male, CAMERON, 18, looks like he's a well put
together guy, smart, but still average. Not to muscle,
but to too skinny either.
His girlfriend, JANICE, 18, also looks well put together,
shes not out of this world pretty, but not ugly, much
like her male counterpart -- shes just average.
CAMERON
And so then, I was thinking, maybe after
you get your first PhD, and I'm off
defending the country in a war that's
consider pointless by millions, I'll
figure out the true meaning of life.
(beat)
But by then, I'll be in my late twenties
early thirties, probably be ugly, and
you'll just be entering your sexual peek,
well I'll be leaving mine.
JANICE
(amused)
That's how you see our future together?
Cameron lets out a little giggle, it sounds nervous,
unsure if you will.
CAMERON
Yeah. How do you picture the future, our
future?
JANICE
Well. First, we both end up going to
separate colleges, or universities, we're
I'll continue to study to become a
doctor, and we'll be a partier, getting
just barely passing grades. You and some
friends will start a rock band, produce a
hit single. And then.
CAMERON
What?
JANICE
You realize that you miss your first
love, and a romance will follow, I'll
write a novel based on it, sell the
rights to Warner Brothers, and it'll be
the next Notebook.
CAMERON
As long as I'm still a sexy beast in that
future. I love it.
Janice lets out a giggle, and the two kiss. Cameron
breaks the kiss.
JANICE
What?
CAMERON
Have to fore fill my near future, and
take a piss.
JANICE
Don't be to long.
Cameron gives her a wink, unzips the tent, and leaves.
Janice watches him until she can no longer see him, and
even then she squints to see him.
JANICE (CONT'D)
He's going to marry me someday.
3. EXT - CAMPSITE - CONTENTIOUS
Cameron has just found a good spot, unzips his pants, and
lets it all out.
CAMERON
(to himself)
More then twice, means your playing with
it.
Cameron finishes up his washroom break, pulls pants up,
zips them up, and goes to go back to the tent, before he
can, a LIGHT from a FLASHLIGHT blinds him.
CAMERON (CONT'D)
Excuse me?
A OLD MAN, MARCUS, 55 (maybe) is standing there, he
points his flashlight away from Cameron.
MARCUS
Sorry.
(beat)
I really am, but I am having trouble
finding my way back to the road, you
wouldn't mind helping a ol' fool, would
you?
Cameron thinks about it for a minute, before deciding.
CAMERON
(yelling)
I'll be right back sweetie.
(to: Marcus)
Lets go
MARCUS
Thank you so much.
The two begin to walk off, but as they do, a figure moves
in the bushes.
4. INT - TENT - CONTINUOUS
Janice rolls onto her back, looking at the top of the
tent, the moon and stars are kind of visible through the
tent, barely.
But outside the tent, which is still open, she hears
movement.
JANICE
Cameron?
Janice moves towards the opening in the tent, and looks
around.
5. EXT - CAMPSITE - CONTENTIOUS
Janice gets out of the tent, and looks around.
JANICE
Cameron?
Janice begins to walk around, before giving up her
search. Janice begins to walk back towards the tent.\
But before she can, something GRABS HER! A hand covers
her mouth, and she is quickly dragged off into the woods.
6. EXT - WOODS - MOMENTS LATER
Both Cameron and Marcus are walking in the woods, both
seem to be lost. Marcus is still holding onto that
flashlight, as if it meant life or death.
CAMERON
So, if you don't mind me asking, what are
you doing out here this time of night?
MARCUS
Went for a walk, a "nature walk", if you
will.
CAMERON
Cool.
Marcus, with his free hand, reaches into his pocket.
MARCUS
When I was younger, my pop, he would
bring me out here... to hunt. Always go
in for the kill when the pray lets his
guard, is what he'd say.
CAMERON
(confused)
What..?
Before he can do anything else, Marcus pulls out a small
DAGGER from his pocket. Before Cameron can react, Marcus
stabs Cameron, in the throat.
Cameron falls to the ground, knife in throat, a look of
shock on his face.
MARCUS
My old man was right, after all.
Marcus turns the flashlight off, and puts it in his
inside jacket pocket, also putting the Dagger another
inside jacket pocket.
Marcus bends over, and grabs the legs of Cameron, and
begins to drag him away, all the while humming a song -
as if this was normal to him.
FADE TO BLACK.
