WOODS

A teenage boy, Chris, is telling a story to a group of his friends around a campfire.

"Long ago, in these very woods, lived an old woman by the name... of Jenny Greentree." Chris Says As He shines the flashlight onto his face from under his chin.

"Whooo!"

There are four people around the campfire – Chris, the Girl sitting next to him, and another teenage boy, Ray, and girl, Chloe, sitting close together on the other side of the fire.

"Forced out after her family was killed in a fire. She lost everything. Some say, even her humanity." Chris Says

"That is so sad." Ray Says

"Shut up!" Chloe Says

"It's a true story, Ray. Look." He shines a flashlight onto the letters "JG" carved into a nearby tree.
"She carved her initials into that tree... right before she died." Chris Says

"Those are not her initials." She Says

We see the scene from a distance, as if through someone else's eyes.

"So, how'd she die?" Chloe Asks

"One night, a blizzard hit. She's cold, she's hungry, nowhere to go, no one to turn to. Jenny Greentree froze to death... right beneath that tree. And her evil spirit has haunted these woods ever since."

Chris shines the flashlight onto his face from under his chin and grins creepily. Ray gooses Chloe and she jumps as Ray laughs.

"Don't do that!" Chloe Says

Suddenly a bottle smashes against the tree. The Girl screams and everybody jumps. Another teenage boy, Trevor, staggers up, laughing drunkenly. Chris rolls his eyes.

"You guys should have seen your faces!" Trevor Says

"What the hell, Trevor? That's not funny, man!" Chris Says

"To you!" Trevor Says

"Yo. You drive here, man?" Ray Asks

"Oh, please. Look, why – why don't you take – take my phone, okay? Call Dad and bust me, why don't you?" Trevor Says

"No, I'm just saying, you're wasted. You can't just drive..." Ray Says

"Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I heard ya. What was that?" Trevor Says

"What? No. Trevor, let's just sit down, okay, we'll –" Ray Says

"Shhh. You – you don't hear that?" Trevor Asks

"Trevor, there's nothing there, all right? Let's just sit down, and we'll..." Ray Says

"What the...? You gotta run. You gotta run!" Trevor Says then runs away.

"Trevor!" Ray Says

"I'm sorry, but what is your brother on?" Chloe Asks

Then There is a scream in the distance, they all jump.

"Trevor!" Ray Says

He runs after Trevor, moments later Ray is walking in the woods, looking for Trevor.

"Trevor! Trev, come on! Stop being a tool!" He sees Trevor sitting against a tree. "Come on, Trevor, let's head back. Dude." Ray Says

Ray approaches Trevor and see's that he is dead, His face is cut and bleeding and there is a large hole in his abdomen.
