EXT. FOREST. DAY. EARTH. A blurred outline of trees appear. Gradually, the focus returns onto a MAN and WOMAN from a bird’s eye perspective. They walk hand in hand. Their voices are muffled. Laughing can be heard as they stroll along. Zoom onto MAN and WOMAN. A WOMAN’S (Late 20’s) violet eyes peer into the sunlight. Her brown hair catches in the breeze and her pale skin shimmers slightly. A MAN (Early 30’s) walks beside her squinting with brown eyes into the sun. WOMAN (Smiles) Let’s play hide and seek, Riley. RILEY (Laughs) What? WOMAN Yeah, come on, it’ll be like we’re kids again! RILEY Jadrien... JADRIEN Come on, it’ll be fun! RILEY takes JADRIEN by the waist and leans back against a giant tree. He smiles and squeezes JADRIEN’S waist tightly. JADRIEN tries to pull away. RILEY Better start hiding then. JADIEN (Laughing) Let go! JADRIEN frees herself and begins to run through the forest. Greenery and trees whizz past as she runs. The sound of RILEY can be heard behind her. Music is happy and light but as JADRIEN goes through a spot of purple leaves the music changes abruptly to an intense tune. JADRIEN’S face drops as she notices the purple leaves. Then everything happens very quickly. A slithering sound is heard. A rattling noise follows soon after. JADRIEN slows down but the footsteps behind her remain the same. A flash of red whips past the corner of JADRIEN’S vision. JADRIEN’S face is a picture of horror. She comes to 147
a halt and turns around. JADRIEN RILEY! IT’S THE- RILEY smiles at JADRIEN oblivious to her fear but in that second his face drops and a red vine comes from the depths of the trees and whisks him away. JADRIEN (Screaming) Nooo! JADRIEN sees a red flash in the corner of her eye and at the last minute dives out of the way. A gigantic red vine smashes down beside the spot that she was just standing in. As she gets up to run a voice rings out. STOP. RILEY JADRIEN freezes and turns around. She gasps in shock as she sees RILEY in the grasp of the giant plant, hanging unconscious. Tiny red stems wriggle in his ear. The veins on his face stand out and his nails have turned black. RILEY HE DIES IF YOU RUN. JADRIEN stands frozen in place, her breath steams in the air. JADRIEN I won’t run. Just let him go. GOOD. RILEY The vine holding RILEY shifts and in a flash disappears into the forest. JADRIEN (Screams) Wait! Another vine suddenly comes from the trees and wraps itself around JADRIEN’S waist hurtling her backwards. She tries to escape as she is being pulled backwards but the vine holds her too strongly. The purple of the leaves change to deep red and JADRIEN is dumped into the middle of a clearing. 148
