Walter: Young ladies like you shouldn't be walking alone in these streets when the sun is starting to set, curiosity kill the cat once.
Odette: Why? Who are you?
Walter: My name is Walter, and I warn you because in the woods behind the urbanization they're a lot of animals that have been acting strange. Not to mention that sometimes we can see some eyes glow and every night we hear some odd sounds. Take my advice young lady, and never get outside of your house when it's still dark outside.

Yamil: Where have you been Odette!? It's really late you know!?
Odette: Slow down dad, I was searching and looking around the neighborhood and I meeting with the new neighbors. They give us this cake to welcome us to this place.
Yamil: Don't change the topic Odette you know I don't like that. Also please have caution about that Walter… some neighbors tell me that this days he was walking alone in the forest with some kind of weapons.

Act 3
Narrator 1: Time passed, it has already passed 2 months since Odette and her father mover to the urbanization, and it was already autumn. Odette was expending a lot of time with Emmett and his sister Jennifer, and slowly Odette started to like Emmett. Odette and her father had notice in that time, that animals were indeed disappearing as everyone told them. One night Yamil got out for a while and asked Odette to stay at home until he got back. Odette agreed and stayed in her house and to not feel so lonely she called Emmett.
Emmett: Hi.
Odette: Hi. What's up?
Emmett: Well, did you hear that recently some people found a lot of dead animals in the middle of the forest?
Odette: Yea, I heard it.
Emmett: It's so weird and dangerous… But I would like to investigate more about this… and find out who is doing those things. Would you like to investigate with me?
Odette: No thanks, I'll pass…
Narrator 1: As Odette talked with Emmett, she saw a figure of something or someone getting into the woods. She soundly got curious and told Emmett that she was going to get outside for a bit and see what it was, after he told her that she shouldn't go alone she hanged up the phone call and got into the woods. After a few minutes passed since she entered the woods she got lost. Her phone battery died soon after that, because she was using its flash-light to light up her way. After twenty-five minutes passed, she got to see a small cabin that was light up with candle lights. The curiosity once again envelope her, and she couldn't resist but wanting to get inside and see what was inside. It took her a while to decide and gather the courage, but in the end she entered and started exploring the place once she was inside.
Act 4
(It was already about midnight, and Odette was in the cabin seeing everything inside, when she discover a secret passage to a basement).
Narrator 2: Odette entered the passage while she hears some noises like animals shouting. It also smelled like decomposed meat. Then she found a switch beside her and she turn on the light but it only illuminate a half of the room. In the walls she saw the corpse of dead animals, also every wall was stained with a black red. In the floor, there were cages with dead and alive animals inside them.
Voice: (Giggles) someone is getting inside my business… That's not good. But well… you get here like I suspected. You can't ignore the curiosity of wanting to know about that figure you see before right?
Odette: Who are you? Do I know you? Your voice sounds familiar.
Voice: Of course you know me Odette! You were supposed to be my friend but no; you wanted something that's mine. WHY ODETTE?! He only needed me! His sister! Not you… you know, I killed those animals to stay calm and take off my anger in these years.
(Then Odette fell in the floor of fear when Jenny appeared in front of her with a large axe.)
Narrator 2: While that was happening in the cabin, Emmett found medicine in the ground that sends him to the cabin. Then when he was inside the cabin he found the passage open. He decides to enter there but in the moment that he was going to do that; he saw a figure coming out of there. It was Jenny, crying with stained marks in her dress.
Jenny: Ohhh Emmy! (Sniff) Odette is dead… someone kill her and I think it was Walter.
Narrator 2: Every one of the neighborhood was reunited in front of the house of the Anderson's. They were waiting for the police and every one was thinking about who was the criminal, having Walter as their suspect. While they were waiting, Mr. Anderson got near of Walter.
Yamil: What did you do to my precious daughter?
Walter: Eh? I didn't do anything. I was in my home sleeping.
Emmett: Wait everyone! I have been investigating Walter for a long time and I know he didn't do it because he always goes to sleep early. Also, I suspect that someone in this place has problems with the nerves and she or he has been taking medicaments for that; I found some in the forest cabin. So the nightmare of the animals and everything else is someone else doing, someone that takes that type of medicine.
Walter: I only have one question... Who was there at the moment when Emmett found Odette's body?
