Scene 13 - A new begining.
It is raining in Greentown, California. The camera focuses on a house. There is the sound of the crashing of thunder and there is lightening flashes every few seconds. Inside the house there is a girl. The girl's name is Tara and she is about 18. She is blond, and very pretty. She is sitting on her couch in front of a fireplace. The phone rings and she quickly picks it up.
TARA
Hello, Brett?
VOICE
No, this isn't Brett.
TARA
Oh, I'm sorry I'm expecting a call from someone.
VOICE
Oh, well then maybe I should call back later.
TARA
No that's OK. I have call waiting.
VOICE
I see, so what are you doing right now?
TARA
I'm waiting for Brad and then we are going to watch Scream 4.
VOICE
So you are alone in the house right now?
TARA
Who is this?
VOICE
The creator of Scream 4.
TARA
I'm a horror movie buff and I know that the creator of Scream 4 is nameless and faceless. So stop pulling this on me.
VOICE
Well that will make you the first one to see my face then.
TARA
This isn't a very funny prank call you know. I'm a horror movie buff this kind of thing doesn't scare me at all. So you can just hang up now because now I'd rather not have to answer my call waiting.
VOICE
You won't be able to do anything after I'm done with you, except feel the blood ooze from your neck.
TARA
Like I said this isn't going to scare me. It will only make me laugh.
VOICE
Oh, really?
Suddenly all the lights in Tara's house turn off. She rushes to get a candle from the kitchen. She lights it and picks it up. There is distinct laughter at the other side of the phone.
TARA
What are you laughing about?
VOICE
Are you scared yet?
TARA
That was the storm! Not you!
VOICE
Oh really? Then how did I know your lights turned off if I can't see you? Why don't you go downstairs and try and fix the electricity? Scared yet?
TARA
No! You could know that my electricity is gone because yours is too. Now I'm hanging up now because I'm just sick of this!
Tara hangs up the phone, and walks towards her basement door. She carries her candle in one hand, and opens the door with the other. She slowly walks down the steps and starts to sniff heavily and frequently.
TARA
What is that smell?
She walks even further into the basement. She walks down the stairs very slowly. The light of the candle is flickering in the dark basement. She gets to the bottom of the stairs and in a chair sits a man. His arms, legs, and body are tied to the chair and there is duct tape over his mouth. When he sees Tara he starts shouting under his gag. She rips off his gag.
BRETT
Behind you!
Tara turns around and in the flickering lights she can see a man standing in front of her in a ghost-face mask. She jerks and drops her candle. Suddenly a part of the floor lights on fire. There is a trail of kerosene leading to the chair, which is drenched in kerosene. Brett is aflame and Tara quickly runs upstairs. She shuts the door to the basement and locks it. She is crying, coughing, and gasping for air. She grabs the phone and dials 911.
OPERATOR
Hello, 911, what is your emergency?
TARA
Please help me! I live at 25 Oakwood Lane and my house is on fire because someone broke in and is trying to kill me.
OPERATOR
Ok, now quickly run to a neighbor's house and stay there we will send the police over and the fire department. Stay in your neighbor's house until we get there.
TARA
Ok, I will.
Tara hangs up the phone. She goes to her door and opens it. The killer is standing right there. The killer stabs Tara in the chest. Tara falls to the floor and starts to scream. The killer kneels down and holds her head while putting the knife against her throat. The killer then pushes down and slowly drags it from one ear to the other. The killer gets up and wipes the bloody knife.
