Prologue: Into The Woods
25: 30 June 24 Route 919
( Somewhere in Upstate New York, a summer camp is preparing for the annually slew of summer sleep-away campers. During a light rain shower on the night before the camp is due to open, a teenage couple drives down a lonely stretch of forest road on their way to the camp, where they've recently been hired as Counselors.)
( In the passenger seat is Ronnie Anne Santiago, a young collage bound woman with tan skin, long dark hair pulled back into a ponytail and freckles across her cheeks. She wears a black long sleeved crop-top, a flannel shirt wrapped around her waist, Jean shorts and black boots with a pink sports cap on her head.)
(In the driver's seat is her boyfriend, Lincoln Loud, a friendly looking young man with a laid-back personality with wavy shoulder length white hair with a big cowlick sticking up the left side, prominent chipped front teeth and freckles across his cheeks. He wears a green shirt underneath a light-blue jacket with the sleeves rolled up. He also wears dark blue jeans and brown shoes.)
(The couple drive along in silence, with the only sound being pop music they're listening to on the radio until Ronnie Anne turns off the sound.)
Lincoln: Why'd you kill the music?
Ronnie Anne: ( smirks) I think you know why.
Lincoln: Umm… I don't think I do-
Ronnie Anne: Begins with a "L". Like, the "L" word.
Lincoln: ( jokingly) Lesbians?
Ronnie Anne: Lost, Linc. We're lost.
Lincoln: We're not lost. We're just in… Geographical flux.
Ronnie Anne: Right. So, lost.
Lincoln: That's debatable.
(Ronnie Anne looks ready with a come- back, when the y hit a pot hole that knocks Ronnie Anne's phone off the stereo. Ronnie Anne catches it before it can hit the floor)
Lincoln ( cheering) Yeah, honey. Nice catch.
( Ronnie Anne blushes lightly.)
Ronnie Anne: ( flattered) Thank you.
( Ronnie Anne plugs her phone back into the stereo.)
Ronnie Anne: Man, the roads are definitely getting worse out here.
Lincoln: ( wise- ass) Yeah, I guess it's all part of that rustic summer camp experience
Ronnie Anne: ( teasing) Oh, right that's where we're going! I lost track like two hundred miles ago...
Lincoln: ( amused) Two hundred miles ago, huh…
Ronnie Anne: ( smirks) Yeah
Ronnie Anne: Look, Lincoln, it's fine. It doesn't make you any less of a man-
Lincoln: You know if Columbus hadn't gotten lost and landed upon these golden shores there'd be no United States of America. Goodbye, hot dogs. See you later, Apple pie.
Ronnie Anne: You lame-o, Columbus never actually landed in North America.
Lincoln: What are you talking about?
Ronnie Anne: Didn't even know he wasn't in Asia.
Lincoln: ( baffled) You serious?
Ronnie Anne: Just another guy who didn't want to admit he was lost.
Lincoln: Well "Just another guy" with a whole day named after him so.. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
Ronnie Anne: ( giggles) Oh my god- Okay, just get us to camp. Before I roll my eyes out of my head, please.
Lincoln: ( chuckles) I'm working on it. I'm working on it.
( Ronnie Anne looks back to see one of their backpacks in the seat. Ronnie Anne sees a leaflet for the Summer camp and a County map sticking out of it.)
(She reaches for the map.)
Ronnie Anne: Ah, Voila!
Lincoln: What is that?
Ronnie Anne: ( dryly) Yeah, yeah.
Lincoln: Yeah, no but seriously hun. What happened to the normal map?
Ronnie Anne: This is the normal map.
Lincoln: The one on the phone
Ronnie Anne: No bars.
Lincoln: ( dead-pan) Of course not.
( Ronnie Anne unfolds the map.)
Ronnie Anne: Okay…let's see… So… we are… So I guess they don't put summer camps on maps… ( to Lincoln) Have you seen any signs for it?
( Ronnie Anne studies the map some more before seeing Lincoln's still focused on her.)
Ronnie Anne: ( sternly) Hey. Eyes on the road, lame-o.
( Lincoln faces forwards and suddenly gives a shout of alarm.)
Lincoln: Woah!
( The pair see what looks like a strange hunched over creature appearing to be sitting in the road directly ahead of them. It runs off into the forest as Lincoln swerves and crashes through the wooden fencing on the side . As they bounce violently on the rough and uneven terrain, neither see a spectral-like figure sitting in the backseat. Ronnie Anne notices a tree stump in their path.)
Ronnie Anne: Stop the car!
( Lincoln sees it too as Ronnie Anne takes hold of the wheel and the pair narrowly avoids the stump before the car skids to a stop in the mud. The two teens breath heavily as they feel their hearts going nineteen to the dozen inside their chests.)
Lincoln: ( concerned, to Ronnie Anne) Are you Okay?
Ronnie Anne: ( breathes heavily) Yeah, yeah. I mean... still in one piece.
( They're thoughts go back to the creature they saw before swerving off road.)
Lincoln: Jesus Christ., what do you think that was? A bear?
Ronnie Anne: What? No, no Linc, that wasn't a bear.
Lincoln: What was it?
Ronnie Anne: ( dumbfounded) I think it was a person.
Lincoln: ( softly) Ronnie, are you serious? Do you think we hit a person?
Ronnie Anne: ( concerned) I don't know… I mean it was really close. Like really close. But maybe we didn't… I don't know…
( Lincoln steps outside to inspect the front of the car for any damage.)
Ronnie Anne: What is it?
Lincoln: ( sighs) I really F'd this car up.
Ronnie Anne: ( hopeful) Well, maybe it looks worse then it is?
Lincoln: Uh… I should check out the damage before we try starting it up again. Hun, could you grab my… uh- the tool box from the trunk?
Ronnie Anne: Yeah, yeah. Okay.
( Ronnie Anne steps out of the vehicle and switches on the flashlight on her phone. She walks up beside Lincoln and gives the engine a once over.)
Lincoln: ( groans) Lori's gonna kill me. She said I could borrow her car to get up here as long as I returned it exactly the way I got it.
Ronnie Anne: It's not so bad.
(She heads to the trunk and opens it. She looks inside the dark space and sees the tool box. She then sees Lincoln's duffle bag with a folded letter sticking out. Out of curiosity, she reads it.)
( She sees it is Lincoln's collage application to Landis university, the collage they planned to attend together. She reads the big red REJECTED stamped on the top and her heart sinks.)
Ronnie Anne ( empathetic) Linc … Why didn't you tell me?
( She decides to forget about it for the time being due to their current situation, but makes a mental note to corner her boyfriend at the next opportunity to find out what's going on. She puts the letter back and carries the tool box to the front.)
Lincoln: Thanks, hun.
Ronnie Anne: Yeah. D'you need a hand?
Lincoln: Yeah actually, if you could just shine the light right here?
Ronnie Anne: Here you go.
Lincoln: Perfect, thank you!
( Lincoln gets to work as Ronnie Anne shines her light so he can see.)
Ronnie Anne: The sooner we get out of her the better.
Lincoln: ( comforting) Just picture yourself curled up in front of a big ol' fire pit singing campfire singalongs.
Ronnie Anne: ( giggles) I don't think people curl up right in front of big ol' fire pits.
Lincoln: Why not?
Ronnie Anne: Uhh, because they don't want to catch on fire?
Lincoln: ( grunts) Then picture yourself curled up in front of a big ol' space heater.
( As Lincoln continue working on the car, something looks to be watching them from behind a tree.)
Ronnie Anne: Well, any where's better then here.
( Ronnie Anne turns behind her and sees something disappearing behind a large tree. It looked to be a figure like a pale woman in a torn dress. Intrigued , she heads after it.)
Lincoln: Where are you going?
Ronnie Anne: Just, over here.
Lincoln: Just… stay there for a second okay? I'm almost done.
( Ronnie Anne continues to shine her light in the trees as she starts getting an eerie feeling something's watching them from the shadows.)
Ronnie Anne ( impatient) My God, Lincoln. Hurry up!
( Lincoln hears the uneasiness in her tone and stops working and heads over.)
Lincoln: What's going on?
Ronnie Anne: I think there's someone down there.
Lincoln: Are you serious?
Ronnie Anne: ( cautious) Yeah- they could be hurt. I don't know.
Lincoln: ( unsure) I didn't think we actually hit anything.
Ronnie Anne: ( distressed) Well I don't know… I just …heard…like a woman.
Lincoln:… Do you think we hit her?
Ronnie Anne: I just wanna check it out.
Lincoln: Okay. All right. Just don't go off too far, okay. Be careful.
( The pair walk a few feet and arrive at a long slope leading furthur downhill. Lincoln helps Ronnie Anne step down the rocky slop leading into the ravine.)
Lincoln: Nice, just be careful. Don't go off too far.
Ronnie Anne: Okay…good luck with the car.
( Lincoln heads back as Ronnie Anne starts walking . She finds a poster pinned for a traveling sideshow on a tree. It's burned and smudged pretty badly and she's only able to make out the words 'HARUM SCARUM ' and 'SpecTACULAR. Next she finds an old trunk with stuff like hand cuffs and straight-jackets inside off the side of the trail and figures it must belonged to the sideshow she read on the poster. She then heads right down the next path and finds a broken and decrepit cage that looked like it once belonged to a circus.)
Ronnie Anne: (anxious) What the hell?
(She sees a broken banner nearby and reads off , "…s the Dog boy."
Ronnie Anne: Yikes. This is too weird.
( She gets back on the trail and heads deeper into the forest. As she does, she doesn't see a mysterious silhouette moving behind her.)
???: Silas.
( Ronnie Anne reaches a bend in the trail as it starts running back up towards the direction of the road. She walks some more until she starts feeling an eerie presence watching her and shines the light around her nervously. At one point the light shines on what's looks to be the woman she saw earlier, by the time she realizes what she saw and shines on the spot again, it's disappeared.)
(She suddenly starts hearing a strange distant whispering all around her as if coming from the trees themselves and grows more afraid. She shines her light every which way and sees nothing out of the ordinary. But she knows she's hearing voices.)
Ronnie Anne: ( shaking) Where are you?
( She continues to shine the light all around when suddenly the voice comes from right beside her ear.)
???: ( whispers) Silas.
( Ronnie Anne yelps in fright and starts running back up the trail. She sees a low hanging branch and ducks in time to avoid it as she keeps running. She quickly jumps over a rock in the path without slowing down.)
Ronnie Anne: ( frightened) Lincoln!
( Lincoln puts the finishing touches on repairing the car when and closes the hood when he hears his girlfriend calling to him in distress. He then sees her come into view, looking like she's seen a ghost. He hurried to meet her and quickly wraps her in a tight hug as she gasps.)
Lincoln: ( easily) Hey, hey, hey, Hey. What's wrong? What's wrong? Is everything alright?
Ronnie Anne: ( hyperventilating) Holy shit.
Lincoln: Talk to me. Tell me what's wrong
(She starts to calm down slightly.)
Ronnie Anne: ( gasping) There was something out there, there was noises all around me…
Lincoln: ( comfortingly) Honey. Honey. Honey. Take a breath, it's okay. It's the woods. There's a lot of stuff out there. There's animals, it's easy to freak yourself out.
Ronnie Anne: ( upset) No. Can we just leave please?
Lincoln: Yeah! Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let's go.
( Lincoln returns the tools to the trunk , The pair get back into the car and Lincoln starts the ignition. The car starts up no problem.)
Lincoln ( satisfied) Yes! There we go. Purring like a kitten.
Ronnie Anne: Lincoln, come on!!!
Lincoln: Here we go. Here we go. We're getting out of here.
( He throws the car in reverse and tries backing up. The engine makes a stalling sound as the tires spin uselessly in the wet mud.
Ronnie Anne: ( upset) You've got to be kidding me? Linc!!
Lincoln: It's just- Ok… just give me a minute. Give me a minute
Ronnie Anne: We've got to go Linc!
Lincoln: Ronnie, you're not helping-
Ronnie Anne: Come on, can you just- I'm trying to get us out of here!
Lincoln: ( irritated) Alright enough!
( Ronnie Anne recoils back, He instantly feels regret at snapping at her since it was shaping out to be a long night for both of them and the last thing he wanted was them getting into an argument.)
Lincoln: ( apologetic) Shit, I'm sorry, honey. I'm sorry
Ronnie Anne: It's okay. It's okay.
( Lincoln tries to back the car out again to no avail, as they're stuck fast in the mud. He leans back in his seat and sighs in defeat, as it looked like they were spending the night in the car.)
Lincoln: We're okay. We're safe in the car really. We're going to be okay.
( A figure suddenly appear outside Lincoln's window, causing both to nearly jump out of their skin.)
Ronnie Anne: ( alarmed) JESUS FUCK!
Lincoln: ( alarmed) Oh fuck! Oh my god, my heart just exploded.
( They compose themselves and get a good look at him and sees he's a tall middle aged man with dark-tan skin with greasy black hair with a few grey streaks and a black moustache. He's wearing a black police officers uniform and sheriff's badge. He's also wearing a tie with a police radio. He motions at the window.)
Sheriff: Roll it down.
( Lincoln does so.)
Lincoln: ( friendly) Hi Officer! How are you doing this evening.
Sheriff: Are either of you injured?
Lincoln: Really we're fine. Just a little shaken up.
( The cop looks at them suspiciously.)
Sheriff: Mm-hmm.
( He heads up front of the car and starts investigating as Lincoln and Ronnie Anne share a look of concern. He raises up and returns to the window.)
Sheriff: Well, you folks wanna tell me what happened here?
Ronnie Anne: Yeah, um.
( Ronnie Anne decides to be honest with the Cop.)
Ronnie Anne: We um… uh- Something jumped out right in front of the car and we didn't want to hit it so we swerved and… now here we are.
Officer: "Something" jumped out?
Ronnie Anne: Ugh- I'm sorry it was just- so dark and it happened so fast and they were- I don't…
( The cop catches the wording change and glares at them with suspicion.)
Officer: "They." Ma'am, did you hit someone?
Ronnie Anne: No! No God no, of course not. But- you know. I mean I don't think so. I don't… I don't know.
( The cop stares at them oddly, making the pair feel even more uncomfortable, like he knew something about what it was. He looked anxious.)
Lincoln : ( cautious) Sir?
Officer: Keep the car running.
Lincoln: ( repeats) Sir?
( The cop ignores then and climbs back up the hill towards the road. Linc and Ronnie feel relieved he's gone for the moment.)
Lincoln: Is this guy like, the all-time scariest cop?
Ronnie Anne: I dunno, this is my first cop.
Lincoln: ( seeming surprised) What, like ever?
Ronnie Anne: Uh, yeah, I'm not a criminal!
( Lincoln and Ronnie Anne see the Cop back with a long cable with a hook on the end from his car and attaches it to their bumper. He throws a switch and their car comes free from the mud and gets winched back uphill to the road. Once it's safely parked, the Cop shuts the winch off and comes back to the driver's window.)
Sheriff: ( firmly) Now you folks wanna tell me, just what in the hell... You're doing, all the way out here, this late at night?
( They're caught off-guard by his sudden change in attitude, but Ronnie Anne continues to be straightforward with him.)
Ronnie Anne: We're heading up to Bolhofner's Quarry Summer Camp. ( smiles) We're new counselors
Sheriff: You're one night early. Camp don't open till tomorrow.
Ronnie Anne: No, no we know… um we figured we'd head up there early and scope it out. Y'know? I mean… they know we're coming, we called ahead.
Lincoln: And to be honest, sir, one of us kind of oversold our navigational skills and got us completely lost. ( raises hand) This guy.
( The Sheriff says something that surprises them.)
Sheriff: You're not going to make it to Bolhofner's Quarry. Not tonight.
( The couple then see a splotch on the side of his neck that looks unnervingly like a blood splatter. They begin to get uneasy again.)
Sheriff: Harbinger motel. It's the nearest place, you can bunk up there for the night. Okay.
Ronnie Anne: ( nervously) Uh… I think we're just gonna stick to the plan sir, I mean… Mr. Bolhofner knows we're coming and we called ahead.
Sheriff: ( insistent) No ma'am. You're going to head to the motel. Do you understand?
( Again, they get the inkling he knew more then he was letting on. Ronnie Anne decided it best to play along until he left.)
Ronnie Anne: Okay. Fine. We'll head to the Motel. Understood. Uh, there's just one small problem.
Lincoln: I forgot to spring for the 'middle of nowhere' coverage plan on my phone.
Ronnie Anne: What he means to say is we're lost. Completely.
( The cop shakes his head.)
Sheriff: Alright ma'am. Step out of the vehicle
Ronnie. Anne: ( surprised) Wait, what?
Lincoln: ( baffled) Uhh……
Sheriff: I just want to show you how to get to the motel on your map there, 'kay?
Ronnie Anne : ( sighs) Sure.
( Lincoln starts to get our of the car as well, when the Cop aggressively pushes his door closed.)
Sheriff: ( sternly) Son, remain in the vehicle.
Ronnie Anne: ( assuring) It's okay. It's okay. I got it.
Lincoln: Okay.
( Ronnie Anne get out and spreads the map on the hood of the car. The Sheriff takes out a pencil and begins marking the spots on the map.)
Sheriff : Okay … so we… are right about here… Harbinger Motel… is here.
( Ronnie Anne then tries to see if she can trick the Cop into showing them the way to their original destination.)
Ronnie Anne: Right, okay, and where was Bolhofner's Quarry again?
( The Sheriff prepares to mark the spot, but seemingly catches on to her ruse and gives her an unamused look.)
Sheriff:… Well, I'm sure the fine folks at the Harbinger Motel can guide you there…first thing in the morning.
Ronnie Anne: ( smiles innocently) Right .
( She grabs the map and gets back in the car. The Cop steps back beside the driver's side door and faces them eerily.)
Sheriff: Harbinger Motel. ( to Lincoln) Stay on the road.
( Ronnie Anne thinks back to the thing they saw before running off road.)
Ronnie Anne: Wait, but what if there's someone out there?
Sheriff: ( uninterested) Yeah, I'll have a look. Good night.
( Lincoln and Ronnie Anne turn to watch as he returns to his car. They exhale in relief as soon as he's inside.)
Lincoln: Phew.
( They look again and see him making no moves to leave. They find it strange he just happened to be there at this time of night.)
Lincoln: Why's this guy just sitting there?
Ronnie Anne: The guy was giving me major weirdo vibes.
Lincoln: The dude needed like, at least a dozen showers.
Ronnie Anne: ( groans) Oh my god, I know.
Lincoln: ( suspicious) And did you see on his neck, Did you see that-
Ronnie Anne: ( confused) You think it was- Was it blood?
( Lincoln waves innocently back at the Sheriff.)
Lincoln: Nice to…meet you…
Ronnie Anne: ( chuckles) Oh my God.
Lincoln: Oh man.
Ronnie Anne: Alright, let's get back on the road.
Lincoln: Yes.
Ronnie Anne: I think I've had enough woodland encounters for one night thank you very much.
Lincoln: Agreed… so where's this motel?
Ronnie Anne: ( with map) Okay, so we're here. And the motel is here.
Lincoln: Okay.
Ronnie Anne: But we are going here.
Lincoln: What's there?
Ronnie Anne: ( smirks) Bolhofner's Quarry.
Lincoln: How'd you do that?
Ronnie Anne: ( proudly) I dunno, kind of tricked him into showing me.
Lincoln: ( laughing) Very slick. ( cautious) Are you sure we shouldn't just go to the motel, listen to this guys advice?
Ronnie Anne: ( scoffs) Honey, you really want to take the advice of some creep ass cop, who told us in the middle of some creep ass woods to go to some creep ass hotel.
Lincoln: No, that's sounds terrible. Let's hit the road, shall we?
Ronnie Anne: That's what I thought.
( Lincoln outs the car in gear and makes a quip at his girlfriend's expense.)
Lincoln: Ma'am
Ronnie Anne: ( exasperated) Oh my God , if he called me "ma'am " one more time I was gonna shove that badge up his dickhole… ( Lincoln laughs). Seriously, do I look like a "ma'am" to you? I got like twenty years before I'm a "ma'am!"
Lincoln: Mm-hmm
Ronnie Anne: What?
Lincoln: Twenty's…debatable.
Ronnie Anne: Easy.
Lincoln: I mean I'm kind of into "ma'ams
Ronnie Anne: Okay, we're done here.
( Ronnie Anne doesn't make a big deal as she knows he's just teasing her. Lincoln puts the car in gear and drives off down the road in the direction of the camp.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~/-\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
00:26 June 25 Bolhofner's Quarry Summer Camp.
( A short time later, Lincoln and Ronnie Anne had reached the summer camp. A big yellow sign out front reads, "Bolhofner's Quarry Summer Camp, Est: 1953." The place is deserted since the camp doesn't open till tomorrow. The teens park the car and head up to the main lodge.)
Lincoln: ( annoyed) You got to be kidding me. There's nobody here. We drive all the way the fuck out here.
Ronnie Anne: Linc, can we just look around before we jump to conclusions.
Lincoln: Did you actually even talk to Mr. Bolhofner or did you just leave a message?
Ronnie Anne: ( guilty) Well, what's the difference?
Lincoln: ( annoyed) This! This is the difference!
( Ronnie Anne knocks on the door.)
Ronnie Anne: Hello?!
( No one answers.)
Lincoln: ( huffy) Guess he doesn't check his voicemail.
Ronnie Anne: ( defensively) How was I supposed to know that?
( Ronnie Anne looks in the car park and sees a blue and white SUV parked a little ways from theirs.)
Ronnie Anne: See, there's a car, clearly someone's here.
Lincoln: Yeah, or its just an abandoned car and this is a complete waste of time.
Ronnie Anne: Why would it be abandoned-Look.
Lincoln: ( aggravated) I'll be in the car.
( Lincoln walks down the stairs in a huff.)
Ronnie Anne: Linc, come on. Lincoln don't be a dick.
Lincoln: ( sighs) I'm sorry… I'm sorry.
( Lincoln walks the rest of the way to the car and climbs in. Sighing Ronnie Anne follows behind him, she spots a map of the camp on a board and sees how large it is, with a lake, pool house, radio station… etc. She sees the camp motto underneath.)
Ronnie Anne: Fun. What doesn't kill you will make you stronger.
( She goes to the SUV and looks inside, nothing.)
( She goes to their vehicle to see if Lincoln's calmed down. She finds him fiddling with the radio.)
Lincoln: Hey, you ready to roll?
( Ronnie Anne decides to take one last look around. She spies the entrance of a storm shelter underneath the second floor balcony and heads over to investigate. It's locked with a padlock and chain. She puts her phone away and peers in through the gap. She makes out a hunched figure at the foot of the stairs.)
Ronnie Anne: ( calls out) Hey! Hey, are you ok?!
( Ronnie Anne thinks the person might be locked in an tries forcing open the door, but can't.)
Ronnie Anne: ( calls out) I'll be right back, I'm gonna get some help!
( Ronnie Anne runs halfway between the bunker and the cars.)
Ronnie Anne: Linc! Lincoln get over here!
Lincoln: What's going on?
Ronnie Anne: There's somebody in the bunker. I think they might be stuck!
Lincoln: Stuck? Is it Mr. Bolhofner?
Ronnie Anne: I don't know. Just bring some tools so we can break the lock!
( Ronnie Anne returns.)
Ronnie Anne: Hey. I'm back. We're gonna get you out of there.
( Lincoln walks up behind her.)
Lincoln: Hey.
Ronnie Anne: Wait… what are these?
( Lincoln is holding a hammer and some wrenches.)
Lincoln: I don't know, you just said "tools".
Ronnie Anne: Why didn't you just bring the- Look there's someone in there!
( Lincoln peers into the bunker.)
Lincoln: Uhhm… I'm not seeing anyone.
Ronnie Anne: ( confused) What, no look.
Lincoln: I am looking. I am.
Ronnie Anne: Let me see.
( Ronnie Anne looks through, the figure she saw it gone. She is puzzled as she knows she saw something.)
Ronnie Anne: ( stammers) There- there was definitely someone there.
Lincoln: … Okay. Okay. So…
( He holds out the tools for Ronnie Anne to chose. She chooses the wrenches. )
Lincoln: You sure?
Ronnie Anne: Yeah, saw it online.
( She inserts the wrenches on the lock and pry's it apart with ease.)
Lincoln: ( impressed) Damn! You need a hand?
( Ronnie Anne tries opening the door and has difficulty.)
Ronnie Anne: Yeah.
( Lincoln helps her. The door opens and they see stairs leading down into darkness. Ronnie Anne takes her phone out and shines the flashlight to light their way. Lincoln does the same as they head down.)
Lincoln: You've seen the Evil Dead, right?
Ronnie Anne: Shhh! ( calls out) Hello?
( The bunker has a dim florescent light at the far end, old shelves, boxes and broken furniture and other camp junk are scattered around.)
Ronnie Anne: Are you hurt?!
Lincoln: Do you exist?
( Ronnie Anne moves further in.)
Lincoln: ( concerned) Hey, be careful.
( Lincoln waits on the stairs as Ronnie Anne explores further. Ronnie Anne slowly heads in deeper and hears a strange noise from the back. Something gets flung into view of her search light. Ronnie Anne immediately heads over to and investigate. She drops it upon seeing it is a collar with blood stains and a name on it, "IAN". She then sees a skeleton nearby that covered in fresh blood and scraps of flesh. It has the looks of being gnawed on recently.)
Ronnie Anne: ( frightened) Linc?
( As Ronnie Anne waits for her boyfriend's response, something gazes at her from behind some boxes growling softly. Lincoln answers from the entrance.)
Lincoln: Hon, maybe it was a possum or something?
Ronnie Anne: (insistent) No, there was… someone there, I swear.
Lincoln: ( worriedly) Hey… it's been kind of a night, you know? Let's just get to the motel, we can come back here first thing in the morning, we can check everything out, but… I mean you must be exhausted, I know I am. I think our imagination-
( Something suddenly lunges from the shadows. Ronnie Anne turns in time to see Lincoln knocked aside.)
Ronnie Anne: Lincoln!? Linc.
( She hears a faint growling sound and then she sees Lincoln leaning against the wall holding his left shoulder in a state of shock .)
Ronnie Anne: ( rushes over) Lincoln!
( She sees his left shoulder soaking in blood. Blood covers half his face as well.)
Lincoln: ( shaking) It's blood… Help.
( On the opposite side, the thing that attacked Lincoln looks at them as it snuffles about hungrily. Ronnie Anne gently lifts Lincoln's arm to get a look at his shoulder. She sees his shirt torn slightly at the shoulder and a bite mark.)
Lincoln: ( shaking) I think I'm bleeding a lot.
( He then goes limp as shock completely sets in. Ronnie Anne looks from Lincoln to the door wondering what to do. After a tense moment, she grabs Lincoln under the shoulders and starts dragging him up the stairs. She reaches the top after some straining only for Lincoln to suddenly be snatched away from her back into the bunker.)
Ronnie Anne: ( desperate) NO!!!
( She hears Lincoln crying out in shock and prepares to charge after him. Before she can, someone comes up behind her and injects a syringe into her neck. Ronnie Anne blinks in confusion as she feels herself drifting off. She then passes out as the person is revealed to be the Sheriff from before. He shakes his head as he turns into and fires off three rounds from his gun into the bunker .)
Sheriff: ( enraged) Does this look like the God-damn Harbinger Motel to you?!
( Silence follows his outburst as overhead, a full moon shines down onto the forest.)
Yeah, this game starts out fast. Dark whisperings in the woods, cops that give you the heebie-jeebies and creatures lurking in basements. And poor Linc and Ronnie Anne learn that first hand! Till next time, read and review.
