In the afternoon of an ordinary day (the camera place
on the left side shows a dog, then it goes up to
Katherine’s face)
A tall,brunette,teenage girl walks up into the scene
walking the dog.
Begging him to slow down;the dog starts running directly
to a black box. Carefully she opens it, her hand is
shaking, the box contains a picture of a dead child, a
rope and a random written piece of paper.
KATHERINE
She looks at the box without touching it.
-What the hell?-
Really worried about what's inside keeps the box and waits
till she meets with her friends. Then sees a little
boy,who looks really weird, and starts running from him.

-don’t worry it is going to be worth it-
she mentions with a smirk on her face
(camera focus on the facial expression while Kat and
Josh are on the front line)
KATHERINE
-Please, Josh, just 5 more minutes...this is
important.
she’s begging Josh
JOSH
-Important for you,...but have you ever wondered what’s
important for me;ahg, you are always like this-
he’s mad so he walks away
awkward silence between the characters
Suddenly Katherine looks to her left to find Charles
standing right beside her. She’s not scared any more but
it’s still a weird sensation.
CHARLES
-Finally…, Now you want to talk?.

When Katherine falls, the noise of the ring hitting the
floor blurs with the next scene.
There is no sound, we just see a witch, Sadie, choking
Charles with her telekinesis till he dies with a rope on
his neck.
