Port Haven, Scenes 1- 3
Port Haven is a small mining town by the beach. The town has a Hospital, a shopping centre, fire station, one privet primary school, one public primary school, one high school, two campus of learning, and a few other public buildings. The town is small so everyone has their nose in other people’s business, the town is rusted and dusty, with red dirt everywhere. There are a lot of house and local community housing properties.


Scene 1 �" Haven High
Haven High is the only High School in Port Haven. In 2005 the Haven Highs library was burnt down but a student during a school break. The principle Mr Chew has turned the school from a dump to a ‘efficient learning facility’ with ‘satisfactory equipment’. Haven High offers a large range of courses Including Drama, Maths, Human Biology, Ancient History, Modern History, Physics, Physical education, Photography, Integrated science, Art, Home economics, Chemistry, English, Metal construction and Health Education. The School is in the Middle of town, near the arts centre and local theatre. The School is free dress and very casual. Any uniform that is worn is a Bright yellow button up shirt with a red tie and black cargo pants. The school is consistently being upgraded.


(A small town called port haven. It is midday and school is nearly out for the year. Kai sits in the class 4B (a pale green room with a clock) Behind him, his hormonal class mates throw paper planes, fight, kiss on tables and act like animals trapped in a cage. The camera zooms in on kai as he focuses on the ticking of the clock. No one is in uniform)

VOICE OF KAI: Haven high, the story of my life really. Nothing new, nothing old, never changing. My name is Kai Dumpty, yes. Like Humpty Dumpty, I know sad right? All my life and still hiding within my own shell. Just your typical 17 year old (a beat) I think. Yet I am different, because, well, I’m me. (bell sounds) My name is Kai Dumpty and finally my life can begin.

Intro Theme Should Play

(After his class mates stampede their way out of the classroom, kai slowly packs up and is the last to leave. As he makes his way through the school to his locker, bumping into people who ignore his apologies, he stashes his books away and then notices TORI JEAN standing next to him. She has a huge grin on her face.)

Kai: (Panicking) Agh! Tori, you scared the s**t out of me!

Tori: (she lets out a sharp laugh) You have notes for your test?

 

Kai: (Looking away) Nope do you?

 

Tori: (she nods) on my Usb

 

Kai: (Pulling out a book and closing his locker) Sweet lets hit the library, I have a free period do you?

 

Tori: (She hits him on the head with her book) you really ought to bring your own notes, yeah, let’s go

 

(Kai and Tori walk into a crowd of lower school students and make their way to the library)

 

Voice of Kai: Tori moved here two years ago, we instantly became friends the day she arrived. I have trouble focusing in school and Tori is what they call a ‘closet nerd’ so she helps me study, without her I think I would fail (A beat) who knows. My Friends, the people I sit with, they are like a family (A beat) we are all so close, sometimes I think I’m more like them than my own family, Home life is (A pause) complicated. We will leave it at that.

 

(Tori and Kai enter Haven High Library, the building is newly refurbished and incredibly clean, to one side of the library book shelves line the walls while the middle is tables and chairs. There is a few students in the Library, one or two of them are playing games on laptops while others read, a Man talks to the Librarian, He wears a long black leather coat and a dark wide brim hat. As Tori and Kai enter he looks at them sharply and turns his head back to the Librarian but always keeping Kai and Tori in his vision, neither Kai or Tori take any notice of the man. Tori and Kai sit down at a computer and turn it on, while they wait for it to boot Kai looks at it blankly and Tori pulls out her books and scribbles on one of the pages)

 

Voice of Kai: Haven High Library, one of the cleanest and newest places in all of Port Haven. The old one was burnt down by a student who is still being talked about months after the event. (He thinks) Port Haven (A beat) Not much a Haven really. Port Haven is a small mining town on the the coast. The town itself is more like an island with just one road in and out of the town, this is the only land which connects us to the main land (A beat) My only way out (A pause). A mining town, apparently they are good. My friends father once heard me complaining about how much I dislike the town and he snapped at me saying stuff like “A mining town is good for ya boy! Puts hairs on ya chest!” But this statement doesn’t even make sense I’m mean how can a town put hairs on your chest!

 

(Tori talks while Kai looks blankly at the computer screen, Kai is lost in thought and not listening to her, after a short while she realizes and bumps him to snap him out of his trans)

 

Tori: Kai your not even listening to me! (She slaps him gently) You better stop focusing on the screen and more on your test! Miss Franze is cruel to give us a test on out last day!

Kai: (Snapping out of it) Huh! Wha? Yeah I know! What a b***h! (He looks up and the Librarian is looking down on them, she looks at them and puts her finger over her mouth ‘shh’)


Librarian: (Angrily) Shhh


Kai: Sorry (He looks down and she walks away. When out of ear shot they look at each other and laugh and continue speaking)

 

Tori: What a witch! (She laughs) Ok time to focus, lets cram stuff into that head of yours! (She smiles and turns to the laptop and explains notes)

 

Voice of Kai: she was always good at that

Kai: (Smiling and turning to the computer) yup let’s do this

 

Tori: (Getting excited and hitting Kai’s hand) Oh, Oh yea you coming this weekend!?

Kai: (shocked) Oh um where?

 

Tori: (Looking at him) Camping (Kai opens his mouth ‘Ohhhh’) DUH (she hits him with a book gently) A swear you have the memory of a Goldfish! Josh said his dad is going to take us out (Kai frowns, Tori Drags on the ‘Buuuuuttttttt’) BUT he is leaving once we unpack his car! Its going to be great!

 

Kai: How could I forget! Hang on wait! Today is Friday! (She nods, he grins) Luckily I packed! (He smiles)

 

Tori: (She claps he hand with excitement) YAY! So that means it will be You, Josh, Kate, Amy said she should be allowed, Leon, Kelly and Me!

 

Kai: Wow seven of us! Didn’t think Kate would be allowed (He smiles) Awesome, but what about everyone else?

 

Tori: (She half frowns) No one was allowed to go, plus Josh said that his car won’t fit many people so yeah, I guess the seven of us will have to do (She smiles) But come on we will be awesome!

 

Kai: Yeah it will still be great! Is anyone going to bring drinks? I mean I don’t want to get wasted so I forget who I am (A beat) but a little bit of fun is what we need!

 

Tori: Josh said he will, but we will be pushing it for room, knowing Amy she has a pair of suitcases packed for us! (She looks behind her and Josh enters holding a paper bag of fast food)Oh here comes the devil himself

 

(Josh walks up and lets out a basic wave)

 

Josh: (He smiles as Tori and Kai look at the paper bag, Braggingly) Hey guys,  so I’ve missed out on school all day because one of the teachers pulled me out of First period to help her get stuff out of her car and then she shouted me lunch.

 

Tori: (Tori and Kai look at each other) Hello Josh. (Sarcastically) Oh why thank you I’m having a good day, how is yours? (Kai and Tori laugh)

 

Voice of Kai: Josh is a pretty good mate of mine, but sometimes we just bump heads. One minute we are fine the next he becomes a total a*****e and I just hate to be around him. Josh and I kinda just met, he is one of those people you always know because they were just there. When Josh asked me if I wanted to come camping and I couldn’t say no, I need to get away from the real world.

 

Kai: Sounds like one of us is having a good day, you have any chips left? You reckon we can have some, I’m starving, didn’t get to have lunch (He looks at Tori) someone gave my lunch time away so I could help move tables.

 

Josh: (Josh looks at them both and shrugs) Well (He thinks and looks down at the food) I guess you could have a chip, there isn’t much left

 

Tori: (Shouting and mad) A chip (She is flustered at his rudeness) A chip! Well that couldn’t satisfy a Dying fly! Keep em!

 

Josh: (He shrugs) Meh (Turing to Kai and changing subject) Camping?

 

Kai: (He smiles) Yep, wouldn’t miss it for the world!


(Josh turns to Tori and waits for an answer, she looks at him and smiles)

 

Tori: Yeah, but my parents say I’m pushing it, they almost said no, but I got the ok (She smiles)

 

Josh: (Josh pats Tori and Kai on back) Sweet so its my place at five then, will see you there! Ok? (He starts walking away when Tori grabs him by the shirt and pulls him back)

 

Tori: Hold up! Where we going? You seemed to have missed that part out (She laughs)

 

Josh: Oh um (A pause) not sure, (He thinks for a short moment and shrugs) Dad knows this really nice place, out bush somewhere, should be good

 

Tori: (She lets go) Yeah that's good enough for me

 

(Josh exits waving goodbye without turning around, the Man in the jacket walks out after Josh leaves, Kai looks at him and shrugs. Both Kai and Tori shrug and turn to the computer monitor to study)

Dominic Racthorn also known as Josh's Father


 

Scene Location - House Of Dominic Racthorn, Rewina Racthorn, Josh Racthorn and Ellie Racthorn. The house has been under the family name for 10 years, it is a bright orange on the outside made out of wood, with a tin roof which is rusted and covered with Dusty. Inside the house there will be two matrices on the floor in front of the Television, the house is clean and very vibrant. There is childs toys everywhere as Ellie is very young. The house has three bedrooms, one bathroom, a shed but no garage, a kitchen and a lounge room, the house is rather small and to one side if the hallways which leads to Josh’s, Ellies and the bathroom there are boxes.

It has just hit early afternoon. Kai is clean and pristine in the warm summer sun. He stands just outside the Racthorn Household just beyond the gates that let him into the vicinity. He looks pleased but slightly agitated the discomfort is obvious by the way he bites his lip. Finally deciding procrastination is no longer an option he takes a step forward.

Voice of Kai: I find meeting new people not so bad, but when you make the first few steps into their house hold and meet the people they know (a beat) the people that in all honesty you dont really care about just so uncomfortable. Like you have no idea where you can or cant step? put your feet up on the couch? Or even swear like a sailor. Not that I swear that often I just find you are contradicted by what you can and cant do and that in itself is blood boiling annoying (a beat) and plain old awkward.

 

(In a matter of seconds Kai hesitation turns to relief when behind him Kelly stands waving excitedly. Directly to her side pulled up on the curb of the road is her mothers car. Kelly begins to remove her things from the trunk, a bag, a sleeping bag and a pillow come flying out and land on the ground at Kai's uneasy feat. He knows her mother well enough to know she is currently looking at them both through the windows of the car under her dark shades of highly priced sun glasses. Without a moment to react Kelly has launched herself into Kai's arms and wrapped her own around him in a warm and tight embrace.)

 

Kelly: Kai! (She shouts excitedly as he catches her hug and returns one with out a moment to spare)

 

Voice of Kai: Kelly Chiner, She has been one of my closest and greatest friends for as long as I can remember. Kelly has always had this amazing skill at knowing exactly how I felt by either the expression on my face or sometimes I swear its by the beating of my heart. One thing everyone needs to know about Kelly and I make sure they are well aware of is her uncanny ability act. One the stage it seems almost the whole world has stopped moving so her swift and perfectly place movements and words I know through every fibre of your body. 

 

(Kelly picks up her bags and pokes Kai in the head)


Kelly: Stop that thinking thing! If the people here are anything like Josh this'll be more comfortable then our homes combined!

 

Kai: (Smiling and laughing) Our homes aren't exactly a good thing to compare anything to. It can't get much worse than home (he smiles) Its going to be a great weekend! I’m so glad your Mum let you come!

 

Kelly: (She Smiles and watches as the car drives away, she waves as it leaves) Took some serious work though! (She laughs and they hug again and walk inside with their bags)

 

(Kai and Kelly walk inside, When they enter Tori stands up. Amy Heart and Kate Creer sit on the lounge watching TV, Josh can be seen out back through a window cleaning dirt and mulch off the trailer)

 

Tori: Well look who it is! (She points to Kelly) Welcome to the land of Awesome and way from the depths of B***h facedness! (Excitedly Kelly hugs Tori, Tori continues to mock and tease)

 

Voice of Kai: This is what I love about Kelly, she doesn’t give a rats a*s about social status or who she is seen with, most people are fussy about that I don’t understand why. Kelly is popular really popular but she chooses us a group of crazy misfits to be with for the high school break.

 

(Once Tori stops mocking Kelly Kai hugs her and goes and sits down next to Amy, Kate gets up and talks to Tori and Kelly)

 

Amy: Hey, any idea where we are going?

 

Kai: (quietly) I don’t know, I don’t even think Josh knows

 

Voice Of Kai: Amy Heart. Seven years ago I met Amy, she has been a on again off again (A beat) friend. I guess thats the best way to put it. Amy is obliviously pretty but she barely notices the attention she gets. But Amy is honest, almost so honest the at you fear the next thing to come out of her mouth is the rude interruption in front of the whole class that you have a bad smell hanging around. One time during swimming without even noticing she had said it loud enough for the whole swim group to hear she told me that my underarm hair has finally begun to grow. Of course she meant no harm but she was so clueless for her actions I could hardly be mad at her. (Leon enters the room) Leon is new to our group. He doesnt look the most comfortable. But I wonder if I look the same way?

 

Amy: (quietly) are you ok? (a beat) since last time we talked?

 

Kai: (quietly) Did you get my message?

 

Amy: (quietly) Yeah I got it, Kate caught on, kai she saw.

 

Kai: (quietly, He thinks) Has she said anything?

 

Amy: (quietly) barely (she thinks) Are you going to tell them?

 

Kai: (quietly) Why should i? Its not a big deal (a beat) least thing I need is a bunch of crazy people buzzing around my head trying to sort my problems out.

 

Amy: (she hugs him, quietly) Tell me if I can help.

 

Kai: (he stands back up) your honesty is all I need. Thanks Amy (he smiles and winks at her)

 

(Turning their attention to the deathly silence that now echo's the room a group of gossip hungry pretend to turn the attention away from the now disappointed Amy and Kai)

 

Kelly: (she hesitates for a moment) So um whats for lunch?

 

(As Kelly finishes the sentence Josh bursts through the door. A cloud of muck and dust follows him. He is slightly drenched from sweat and the grim now gathers at points where the sweat has met its end. His red ruffled hair now stained the same muck green/brown colour. Under his dark dirty face a large white grin begins to form as he notices the attention of the room is now diverted to him)

 

Josh: (proudly and almost boastful) We need to go to the shops to get some food, we can get maccas then

 

Kate: (Kate hits his arm spraying up a second cloud of the muck into the hair. She examine her hand and shakes I rigorously) You havent done it yet!

 

Tori: (Sarcastically but a sense of disappointment with it)  Obviously


Voice Of Kai: Kate Creer, not exactly the brightest in the Brady Bunch but most certainly the most lively. He love for animals far exceeds that of a normal human being. In between school and social life she trains to be a vet to save the dogs or something. She is more than serious when the time that is required but anything beyond that is Childs play for her.

 

Kelly: (Kate shrinks back down uncomfortably. Kelly looks at her and frowns slightly) What else do we need

 

Josh: Chips, Pizza (he is interrupted)

 

Amy: pizza? (She looks inquisitively)

 

Josh: you cook it on a hot plate, not hard. Anyway we also need water, soft drinks, fruit, salad some meat and a cake. Oh and marshmallows

 

Kelly: a Cake?

 

Josh: For Kai

 

Kelly: (To Kai) Why do you want a cake?

 

Kai: (he shrugs) I don’t

 

Kelly: then why are you getting it?

 

Kai: im not

 

Kelly: im confused

 

Josh: its for Kai’s Birthday

 

Kelly: (upset) Its your birthday

 

Kai: yeah?

 

Kelly: (she slaps him) why didn’t you tell me!

 

 

Voice of Kai: I don’t normal tell people about my birthday. Ive known Amy since primary school she told the group that my birthday was coming up and so was the school holidays so to celebrate that fact we decided we’d go camping. Kelly wasn’t told because she isn’t in our group that much and even though out of everyone I've known her the longest she can never remember such trivial things.

Kai: its not a big deal

 

Kelly: yes it is! You turn 17! That's massive!

 

(kai shrugs off the subject)

 

Kate: when are we going shops?

 

Josh: when I get changed

 

Amy: nah ah mister!

 

Josh: what?

 

Amy: your having a shower before we are seen with you (she points to the bath room

 

Josh: OK, OK fine. (he leaves and goes for a shower)

 

(Amy, Kelly, Tori and kate whisper among each other while kai walks over to leon)

 

Voice of Kai
Kai: As I said Leon is new, not yet use to our crazy insane partys, we arnt like normal teenagers, I mean my step mum said I hang out with misfits, so I spat in her face and named a radio show after it. And now I happily accept that I may be a misfit, its who I am (a beat) but how can I accept myself. Leon was cute all the girls loved him at first sight, it might be the large brown eyes that captivate anyone who glances. Well thats all I see. But this hasnt made him cocky or anything, he has a great personality which captivates people like flies. I like Leon, I find him easy to talk to about basic things, like sports or video games. But he isn't the person you would go have 'deep and meaningful' with.

 

Kai: (Kai shakes Leon’s hand) Hey man your quiet

 

Leon: well that's me

 

Kai: (kai laughs) well lighten up man, its Friday and your about to spend a whole weekend with us (a beat) Ok I understand if your down (kai laughs)

 

Leon: nah you guys are great, Im really looking forward to this

 

Kai: I wish we did this more often

 

(the girls stop whispering and look over to where Kai and Leon sit)

 

Kai: what are you girls up to?

 

Kelly: (defencive) nothing!

 

Voice of Kai

Kai: So obvious, but then you feel bad for thinking such a thing. They are obviously talking about getting me a birthday present, their body language says it all, along with the tone of voice and choice of words. But you feel selfish for even sujesting the fact that they are talking about getting you something. I mean who has the right to think that much about themselves? I feel horrible when I think of something like that

Kai: well if you insist

(Amy gets up and walks to the bath room door and hits it loudly)

 

Amy: Hurry up slow poke! What are you doing in there, the rain dance or something!?

 

Kate: (whispering) I cant belive he expected for us to go shopping on the day to get the stuff

Tori: well Kai, Him and I already got some of it

Kate: So? Why not get all of it?

 

Tori: because (a beat) because you cant leave it up to us

 

Kate: whateva

 

(Amy hits the door again, on the third hit josh opens the door and she almost hits him)

 

Josh: Oi watch where you throwin that thing

 

Amy: Sorry, but did you have to take so god damn long

Tori: Hurry up boy get changed

 

(josh walks into his room to get changed. Kai and Leon stop talking and walk over to the girls and sit down with them watching the tv)

 

Josh: ok ill go get dad

 

(josh walks out side tori joins him, the crew start fighting over the remote. Half the group wants to watch cartoons the other half want to watch the horror show)

 

Kate: I want to watch spongebob!

 

Amy: yeah so, we wanna watch thriller (steals the remote and lets out a ha ha laugh)

 

Kate: OI!

 

(leon looks scared)

 

Kelly: kate just drop it

 

Kate: I cant stand scary shiz!

 

Kelly: ok fine lets vote, who wants spongebob? (Kelly and Kate put there hands up) ok and who wants Thriller? (kai and Amy put their hands up) Ok well Leon its up to you?

 

(everyone looks at leon)  

 

Leon: (Clenching his stomach) im kinda hungry

 

(they others start fighting about what to watch again, Leon decided to stay out of it)

Kelly: (Kelly laughs and pats him on the back) don’t worry we will get food soon

 

Leon: (he smiles) sweet.

(the turn to watch the group carry on Kelly joins in a few times, so does Kai but its mostly between Kate and Amy)

 

Josh: (yelling from outside) Come on guys!

 

(They all walk out of the house and pile into Joshes dads car. The land crusiser fits 6 people in the back and one passenger in the front. Tori shares a seat with Joshes little sister. Tori plays around with her while the rest of the group talk amongst themselves)

Josh’s dad: Ok seat belts up or I will kill you, get it, if you don’t wear seat belts and I crash I basicly kill you! (he laughs) Get it?

 

(everyone looks at each other and finally lets out a laughs a fake laugh)

 

Voice of Kai

Kai: see what I mean? Awkward right

Scene 4.1 �" The Car

Dominic Racthorn has a four wheeled drive troop carrier car. The care is half packed full of bags and eskies while the other half have been bad into a bed using blankets and pillows, the car is a mouldy brown, with dim headlights and a loud rattly engine. It does not have good suspension and can not help but fail when it is needed most

 

(The group sits in the car, most of them are basically sitting on top of each other due to lack of space, they are driving in a bumpy road out in the bush land. Kai is watching Dr Who on his new Ipod/music player while Josh sits infront with his father. Kate and Kelly are talking to Kai while also watching Dr Who. Amy and Leon are on their phones playing games or something and Tori reads Tomorrow When The War Began or some other novel)

Kate: Oh... cool

Amy: (hopeful) its possible

 

Tori: Josh do you even know where we are going?

 

Josh: Dads taking us to a really great place, he’s just trying to rememeber the way

 

Kai: I was going to ask if we were backtracking I swear ive seen that same tree ten times

 

Josh’s dad: The place we are going is great! You would love it, if you walk over the hill and about 500 meters or so you find fossils of ancient fish! You'd love it Kai aren't you into that kind of stuff, history and what not?

 

Kai: (hesitant) Yeah sounds (a beat) great

 

Tori: (she laughs) what's the place like is it green?

 

Josh’s dad: yeah its really green, Oh and I'm leaving the Quad with you. Might be fun to take a look around

 

Tori: cool

 

Josh: Yeah but no one's riding it without letting me know

 

Kai: Ok

 

Josh’s Dad: Hmm car is chugging

 

Josh: (to the others) Looks like we gonna stop

 

(the car makes a coughing noise and begins to slow down)


Scene 4.2 , 5, 6, �" The Elliery

The Elliery is truly breathtaking , The Elliery is two mountains which sit next to and lean over one another making constant shade within the water hole. The Elliery is a massive water hole between and under the two mountains, a waterfall falls from another pool above the mountains where the two mountains meet, in the very middle of the pond is a large rock, large enough for one or two people to fit in, on the far side is a tree which over hangs the water, its leaves drift gently down and land in the water, just to show The Elliery Majesty and beauty. Trees surround the oasis, many are really old and overgrown with vines grown up the sides of the trees themselves, when the group sets camp they set it near the water, but in a small clearing closer to the mountain on the left hand side, the campsite they set up is two tents, a trailer with the eskies on top and a toilet to the right side mountain. The mountains aren’t very high. In a small in cove in the wall of the Elliery is the words say stuff like “The Elliery beware the” and then it is scribbled or worn away, with other stuff the saying “The Curse” stuff to get the view guessing and think. The group take no notice, other than The Elliery. 

 

Josh’s dad: Oh crap she’s bout to kark it, I'll pull in and fill up the water, you guys wanna get out? (he pulls the car into a small clearing)

 

Amy: Oh my god, Yes Please

 

Kate: yeah my legs are killing me!

 

Kelly: How long have we been driving?

 

Kai: well we managed to watch the first four episodes of season 6 so id say awhile

 

(they laugh, the group struggles to wriggle past each other to get out, finaly one by one they get out. Kelly is the second last out)

 

Kelly: Ow its hot, ow ow ow Kai would you be a dear and pass me my shoes please

 

Kai: No probs (he crawls back into the car looking under the chairs for Kellys shoes, while searching he finds a small silver knife that he pushes aside, after a little bit more searching he finds her shoes, and puts the small knife in his pocket with out noticing, he passes the shoes to Kelly who is still complaining bout the heat) there ya go (he smiles)

 

Kelly: thanks!

 

Kai: Thanks for the present

 

Kelly: No problem, I still cant believe you didn’t tell me

 

Kai: didn’t think it was important

 

Amy: (from around the corner, yelling out to the others) Oi Kai, Kelly get your bums here!

 

Kai: (he laughs) where are you

 

Josh: Just follow the path thingy

 

Kai: Lets go

 

(kai and Kelly walk along the path talking as they go, they can hear voices echoing in front of them of the others talking and yelling at each other)

 

Amy: Come on slow pokes!

 

(Kai and Kelly finally reach them and opens up to a huge pool like pond. On the back wall there is another level with a small blocked waterfall, and a tree over hanging sticking out of the back wall, two huge massive cliffs stoop over them making it almost shady at all times and keeps the sun out of the clear greenish water, in the very middle is a small rock almost completely submerged under the water. and a small path of pebbles also submerged)

 

Amy: Its amazing

 

Josh: Dad says the other place is better

 

Kelly: Well the cars having issues

 

Josh: Yeah dad said he wont be long

 

Kai: Why don’t we just unpack and stay here while your dad works on the car

 

Josh: Because this isn’t the right place

 

Tori: But I like it here

 

Josh: But (he is cut off)

 

Kate: Josh lets just stay here (she walks up and holds his arm)

 

Josh: Fine, ill go tell dad

 

Leon: Cool. We might as well come to unpack

 

Kelly: Good thunking 99

 

(they laugh and start to head back to the car)

 

(back at the camp site the teens unpack and set up a tent, leaving half the stuff in a trailer they only take out stuff to sit in, several chairs are set up around where the fire is meant to be set up, Kai, Kelly and Amy go to set up a stop to go toilet, Tori and Kate sit in the chairs while they talk to Josh who is cutting wood with a axe, obviously showing off. Leon also sits in the tent putting all the important bag and sleeping bags in there. The Quad bike sits in the trailer)

 

Tori: Josh how is it that you always find a excuse to take your shirt off?

 

(Kate laughs)

 

Kate: He thinks is sexy

 

Tori: Oh you love it Kate

 

Kate: (she laughs) I don’t see why he needs to do it though

 

Josh: Its hot

 

Tori: Leon isn’t taking off his shirt? and he is in the tent that thing is like a oven

 

Leon: Oh its not that bad

 

Amy: Yes it is (she winks at Leon)

 

Josh: Na I bet it's not as hot as out here

 

Tori: What eva, I don’t care, I'm just sick of seeing Gandalf The White

 

Josh: Oi im not that white

 

Kate: You are but I don’t know why, I mean im sure you take your shirt off when ever you can, how on earth do you not have a tan!?

 

(Tori, Leon and Kate laugh. Josh blushes. Leon climbs out of the tent and looks around, Tori gets up and gets Kate and herself a Popbee Or a Pepsi soda)

 

Kate: I swear I am addicted to this stuff

 

Tori: You really are

 

Leon: Where is the others? (he asks while looking around)

 

Josh: They gone to get the crapper ready

 

Kate: (angrly) Josh!

 

Josh: (he shrugs) What?

 

Tori: We have children around (she pats kate on the her head, she looks at her with one eyebrow up)

 

Leon: I’ll go see if they need a hand

 

Kate: Ok, Oh can you tell Amy ants are in her bed

 

Leon: ah (pause) ok?

 

Kate: Thanks buddy

 

(Leon runs off in the direction the others went a little while ago, Amy, Kelly and Kai stand around a small hole they dug next to a tree.)

 

Kelly: (she squats over the hole) Yup all good

 

(they laugh)

 

Amy: Hold it, I need to get a photo of this (she pulls out her camera)

 

Kelly: Quick sticks I haven’t all day

 

Amy: (the camera flashes) This is gold

 

(they laugh again)

 

Kai: We better head back and tell the others

 

Kelly: yeah

 

Amy: whats the bet Josh has his shirt off

 

(they giggle amongst themselves for a short while and start to walk towards the camp where smoke is finaly rising)

 

Kai: looks like they got that fire going

 

Amy: This could be a interesting night

 

Kai: I agree. I mean at school we are pretty crazy, but teachers and school work always gets in the way of the real fun. Im so excited!

 

Kelly: Na don’t you know the rule?

 

(Amy trips over a stick, but regains balance)

 

Amy: What rule is that?

 

Kelly: The rule, you sleep early the first night to make the most of tomorrow

 

Amy: Oh, but why not make the most of tonight?

 

Kelly: (she laughs) I don’t know, its the (a beat) rule

 

Kai: that's interesting because the amount of energy drinks we’ve had I doubt that would be possible

 

Amy: he has a point

 

(Leon walks out from behind a tree)

 

Kai: Oh looks whose come to join the potty makers

 

Leon: (he laughs) Hey

 

Amy: Got sick of them?

 

Leon: Got bored

 

Kelly: What they doing?

 

Leon: Kate and Tori are talking, Josh’s dad is still tinkering around in the car and Josh is chopping wood for some reason, I was under the impression people just collected it?

 

Kelly: If only he agreed to that statement

 

Kai: Meh, no problem with chopped wood

 

Amy: Yeah, I mean why not

 

Leon: Oh and he’s shirtless

 

(they fake cry)

 

Kelly: we knew he would

 

(they now laugh)

 

Kelly: (Entering the campsite) Hey Kai we should go for a explore later (she smiles and pats Leon gently on the back)

 

(they enter the camp site, Josh now sits in a chair drinking a Energy drink talking to Tori and Kate, Josh’s dad is still fiddling around with the car, the fire roars in the middle of the camp site and a tents sit to the far side. Next to the row of three tents is a trailer which has two eskies on it and several cartons of drink and bags of dry food)

 

Kai: Sweet sounds good, anyone else?

 

Josh: Oh I will. I'm pretty keen to get a good look around.

 

Kai: Cool. We can take to the hill in the direction we just came from. I looks like it would be easy to climb and get a good view of the place.

 

Amy: Kate and I are going to talk Gossip so count me out

 

Tori: I think I might join in on the Goss

 

Leon: Na sorry (He stands up) I might take a look around on my own for a while.

 

(Leon exits the campsite and heads to the opposite direction that they had just entered from.)

 

Kai: (Calling out) No problem (Leon leans back a little and waves)

 

Kelly: (looking around at the tents and set up) Nice work guys. Im thoroughly impressed. A set up for (Taking Kates hand and pulling her up dancing to the music in a fun friendly manner) Kings and Queens!  

 

Kate: (Laughing pulling Kai in as he joins in dancing) No probs, (Sarcasticly) We did so much of the work its not funny! (Her and Tori laugh)

 

Josh: (Standing up defensively)  I did most of it, so (a beat) Kai, (he points to Kai) you and Leon can cook!

 

Kai: yeah whatever (Smiling and enjoying the music)

 

Tori: So we are staying here for the night?

 

Kai: Yeah looks that way.

 

Tori: I might go check out the water (She walks off towards the Waterhole)

 

(With that the car Crackles and begins to work again)

 

Josh’s Dad: (standing up brushing himself off) Sweet knew I could get her working (he smiles proudly) So you guys all good? I will be back in four days ok? If you need to call me, go to the top of that hill (He points to a hill that is on the right side of the Pond) Ok cya Kiddies (he gets in the car and heads off)

 

Amy and Kate: Cya (they all wave good bye, as the car begins to grow further in the distance and their grins grow)

 

Josh: You ready for the walk? (to kai and Kelly)

 

Kelly: Im up for it you still in Kai?

 

Kai: Yeah (they get up to walk again) we might see the sun set

 

(Tori runs back into the campsite with excitement plastered over her face)

 

Tori: The water is lovely! I just had a put my foot in its amazing! who wants to come? (she gets up and gets her towel)

 

Kate: (Jumping up excitedly) Yay! Im in! (She runs off after Tori and is followed by Amy)

 

Leon: (Walking into the campsite) Where's everyone else?

 

Kai: They are just having a swim, apparently its lovely


(Leon picks up his towel and walks off towards the pool)

Scene 4.2 , 5, 6, �" The Elliery

The Elliery is truly breathtaking , The Elliery is two mountains which sit next to and lean over one another making constant shade within the water hole. The Elliery is a massive water hole between and under the two mountains, a waterfall falls from another pool above the mountains where the two mountains meet, in the very middle of the pond is a large rock, large enough for one or two people to fit in, on the far side is a tree which over hangs the water, its leaves drift gently down and land in the water, just to show The Elliery Majesty and beauty. Trees surround the oasis, many are really old and overgrown with vines grown up the sides of the trees themselves, when the group sets camp they set it near the water, but in a small clearing closer to the mountain on the left hand side, the campsite they set up is two tents, a trailer with the eskies on top and a toilet to the right side mountain. The mountains aren’t very high. In a small in cove in the wall of the Elliery is the words say stuff like “The Elliery beware the” and then it is scribbled or worn away, with other stuff the saying “The Curse” stuff to get the view guessing and think. The group take no notice, other than The Elliery.

 

(Kai, Kelly and Josh stand in awe as the sun sets softly over the mountains, the sight is pure and more then stunning. The endless range of hills and trees goes on for what seems like ever. From here Kai can see several pools of water that the sun reflects off making a beautiful pattern of orange and pink that almost seems to laminate the dense woods around the pools. There are no words shared between them for a long amount of time. But the same things are on their minds.)

 

Voice Of Kai: Nothing will ever damage this moment

 

Josh: This is amazing, (Flustered) I, I have never seen something so amazing!

 

Kai: If only it could be held forever

 

Kelly: It can be silly (She pokes Kai in the head) deep in there (Placing her hand on his chest where his heart is) And here (smiles and Takes Josh and Kai's hand)

 

Kai: That made no sense but I understand you

 

Kelly: amazing the way words can mean so little

 

Josh: But be so important

 

Kai: Yet be so imperfect

 

(Once the word comes from Kai's mouth the sun has escaped the world. Falling behind the woods, the trees now seem to be glowing with the same faint orange that danced on the water across the land)

 

Kelly: (Upset that the moment has ended yet at peace with it) I guess we better head back before it becomes too dark

 

(they turn around and start to track back down the hill)

 

Voice Of Kai: With only the voice of the wind and the warmth of those I love can make me question how wrong this world really is (a beat) Lets me forget the war in the North, the Cross Fire in the south and crisis and riots in the west. It seems the West is the only save place. Port Haven remains unscathed from the damaged cruel world.

 

(they walk back into the campsite all the others are sitting around the fire getting dry, they are cold and shivering)

 

Kai: How was the swim

 

Amy: (chittering teeth) Ittttt wassss ggggooooooooood

 

Josh: (Sarcastic) Uh-huh I bet it was.  

 

Tori: Its just cold now

 

Kai: I’ll make the fire bigger (Walking over and collecting firewood)

 

Kelly: I’ll get dinner started, you all hungry?

 

Leon: Yeah

 

Josh: your always hungry (he walks up and sits with Kate who is sitting on a large log, he wraps his arms around her and hugs her)

 

Amy: (To Kelly) So Kate was telling me that Petirass is dating Monique? Is that right Kelly?

 

Kelly: Just because I hang out with the girls who have the strings on everyone does not mean I know everything (She giggles) But as usual we are not meant to know about their little rumour which by the way is most certainly true! (She laughs)

 

Josh: How is that even possible she is popular and he is a social reject?

 

Amy: (In deep thought) Love finds us In the oddest ways (blushing)

 

Kate: Oh yeah by the way Amy is dating Dom

 

Kai: (a few of them laugh) Well that wasn’t obvious

 

Amy: We are taking it slow so we decide to not tell many people after my last relationship!

 

Tori: (Under her breath) Because you only just got out of it?

 

Josh: (Yelling to no one) SHE’S DATING DOM!

 

(they laugh, Amy slaps him)

 

Amy: Shut up

 

Kate: (yelling) AMY’S DATING DOM!

 

Amy: KATE! do not! encourage him

 

(they laugh)

 

Tori: We should play truth and dare!

 

Amy: Oh god no

 

Kai: Oh yea

 

Kelly: im in

 

Kate: GOSSIP! I am so in

 

Leon: Hmm I guess

 

Kate: Josh?

 

Josh: Yea, but I'm not moving I'm comfy

 

Tori: (starting off) Ok (she thinks) Josh, Truth or dare?

 

Josh: Truth obviously! As I said I cant be bothered moving

 

Tori: Hm (she thinks) Guys? Help?

 

Kelly: Oh oh oh, Have you ever had sexual fantasies about Kate?

 

Josh: Aw um (he looks at her blushing) Yes

 

(Amy lets out a massive laugh and pats Kate on the back)

 

Tori: Ok Josh now you ask someone

 

Josh: Um (Kissing Kate on the cheek) Kate, Truth or Dare

 

Kate: I Know how bad your dares are so I’ll go truth

 

Josh: Whose the best boy friend you ever had?

 

Kate: Well because you the only real one I have ever had id have to say you

 

Josh: Oh yeah that's right. (he hugs her)

 

Tori: you know what let's just play truth. No one is going to pick dares after last time!

 

Kai: ok sounds a bit easier

 

Tori: Anyone got questions?

 

Kai: (Standing up) na sorry, be right back got to go to the loo

 

(Kai leaves and starts to walk to the toilet. Kai begins to walk back from the toilet. When he hears a stick snap behind him. He turns around)

 

Kai: Guys?

 

Voice Of Kai: As if, don’t you hate when your mind plays tricks on you, worse yet, the feeling of being watched is just as horrific

 

Kai: Hello?

 

(he shrugs and tells himself it is nothing and keeps on walking, he enters the camp as josh is half way through answering a question)

 

Leon: Damien

 

Tori: REALLY!?

 

Josh: Yeah

 

Tori: Kai! (Smiling) you're up! Truth!

 

Kai: (he laughs changing the subject) Interesting night isn’t it?

 

Tori: well? Nah! (Kai interrupts her)

 

Kai: What's the time?

 

Kelly: (Out of nowhere taking some of them by suprise) Dinner time, Grubs up kids

 

(Kai exhales and relaxes, they all start to get up)

 

Kate: oooo what did you cook?

 

Kelly: Burgers

 

Kate: But im vegetarian?

 

Kelly: I know, Kai told me, yours isn’t meat

 

Kate: Oh thanks

 

(kai washes his hands)

 

Kai: Thanks Kelly

 

Kelly: No problems, We need to name this place

 

Kate: there was something on the wall

 

Tori: The Elliery

 

Kelly: Interesting, I like it, we should come back here

 

Amy: Every year

 

Leon: Its our spot

 

Kai: Its amazing

 

(they all sit down and eat, the night drifts on they continue to talk one by one they fall asleep, they are having fun, Amy sings a song for them as Josh attempts to play guitar, Kai and Kelly are the last ones left as the night went on and they to fall asleep almost in perfect sync)

(Kai, Kelly and Tori climb the point that Josh, Kai and Kelly climbed only the day before. Tori Leans over the edge laying on her stomach waving at the group and cheering out. Kelly stands behind her while Kai is distracted by a lone tree. The only tree on the hill)

 

Tori: Hey! (she waves at the people below)

 

Kelly: Tori be careful! It doesnt look stable!


Tori: (Standing up brushing herself off) OH Kelly! Its ok! (She walks over and hugs her) See nothing happened. (Tori takes a step away towards Kai but hears a crack under her foot. She looks down to see a part of the cliff has begun to brake off. Kelly has begun to fall backwards unable to support herself from the random shift in the surface)

 

Kelly: S**t!(Just before she falls off Kai catches her wrists. He lays on the ground holding onto her has more than half her body dangles down)

 

(Kai holds onto her but he is slowly being pulled forward)

 

Kai: Kelly!

Kelly: Kai! Help!

 

Kai: Hold on Kelly! Hold on tight! Tori! Help!

 

(Tori is stunned and can’t move and think, she mumbles something but does not move. She is in a state of shock)

 

Kelly: Kai! Just let me- (Interrupted)

 

Kai: Never

 

(a tear rolls down her face, Screams from below eco, Kai turns his head to Tori and shakes his head ‘no its to late’ slowly)

 

Kelly: (softly) Kai

 

Voice Of Kai

Kai: To let one go is hard, to see one go is harder but to decide to follow is hardest, how can I save someone who is beyond  the point of no return, a miracle, faith

 

(Kai starts to fall forward, Tori has finally come to some sense and grabs him keeping him on the edge but he is to far forward and he starts to lean more over the edge, he is going to fall unless they get more help)

 

Kelly: Kai! (Looking down)

Kai: Hold on Kelly, TORI HELP, Get Kelly, I will be fine

 

Kelly: (Looking into his eyes) Kai don’t lie! Kai, let me go (A beat)

 

Kai: NO! (a tear rolls down his face)

 

Kelly: Kai its deep beneath me, let go

 

Kai: No its not! Don't lie!

 

Kelly: Kai it's not worth us both

 

Voice of Kai

Kai: I cant lose you!

 

Kai: No!

 

(Kelly lets go of Kai, he holds her, but loses grip she falls, she lands in the water and goes under, the others swim to her straight away, Tori pulls kai over the edge Kai fights it trying to look over the edge)

 

Kai: (Fighting Tori's grip) I have to see her! Its my fault! (giving up on fighting Tori he pushes his head into her shoulder)

 

Tori: (holding him) Hush, its not your fault

 

Kai: (quietly and upset) It is my fault. I couldnt hold on. I failed her. its my fault.

 

Voice of kai

Kai: Its my fault, its my fault, its my fault

 

(kai stands there lost in thought, Tori starts to run off)

 

Tori: (stopping and turning to face kai, shouting) Kai! Come on! We need to check on her!

 

(kai wakes up and runs off after her, behind him standing where he once stood is the Man in a trench coat his white teeth shine from under his large hat which conceals his face in shadows)

 

(Back at the camp the others are carrying Kelly to the trailer, she isn’t moving, a small trail of blood drips consistently from her feet as it trickles down her leg, the trail comes up from the water hole)

 

Kate: Guys

 

Kai: Oh my god she is dead!

 

Kate: No, she must have hit her head, she’s concussed

 

Amy: The water is out of her lungs and she is stable

 

Kai: Ok. (Collecting himself) We need to get her help. Is it just a concussion? Where is the blood coming from?

(Josh enters from the pond area)

 

Amy: No, I worked out the bone broke and pieced the skin. I located the open wound and had to push the bone back in, (to Leon and Tori) we need to get a brace, you can make one from two sticks. (back to kai) But if I don’t get something to stop an infection she could die.

Voice of Kai

Kai: Thank god Amy is learning to become a medic

Kai: I packed a Aid Kit, that should some stuff to help. I think it has some medication in it.

Amy: (looking at josh) We didn’t bring it

 

Kai: Why the f**k not!

 

Amy: Language!

 

Josh: We needed more space!

 

Kai: (voice getting angrier and higher) For what! Grog!? She could die now! Kelly could DIE!

 

Josh: (yelling back) You wanted me to bring it!

 

Kai: (Getting louder) That doesn’t mean get rid of a MEDICAL KIT!

 

Amy: Guys stop it! (She holds up her hands)

 

Josh: (ignoring her) So what if we had one its ok to DROP HER!

 

Kate: (yelling) JOSH!

 

Kai: (quietly and more to himself) Its my fault, its my fault

 

Kate: (Touching Kai's arm) Kai?

 

Josh: (still angry) See if only you put 100% in! Maybe then she’d be fine! You never do, your to f*****g pathetic!

 

(Kai punches him in the face, and walks over to Kelly, Josh stubbles around for a second and starts to track off after him but Amy stands in front of him stopping him)

 

Amy: Calm the FUDGE down!

 

(Josh realises how he was acting and walks away, Kate follows, Amy sits next to kai and they both look at the extent of Kellys wounds)

 

Kai: (turning his head to Amy, he has a tear running down his face) I couldnt hold on. She let go. I couldnt hold on.

 

Amy: (hugging him) I know (a long pause) and she will be fine, trust me?

 

Kai: (still hugging) Always

 

(they both look at Kelly, after a short while Leon and Tori return with sticks, all different sizes and shapes)

 

Tori: We didn’t know what size you where after, (to Kai) You ok?

 

(Leon and Amy go through the sticks)

 

Voice Of Kai

Kai: No

 

(pause)

 

Kai: Yeah

 

Tori: Bull s**t (she tries to smile)

 

Kai: I punched josh

 

Tori: Holy crap! No way! (she puts her hand up to high five)

 

Kai: (he responds with a slow, tilt of the head) You were there weren’t you? Please tell me there was nothing I could do (he looks down)

 

Tori: There wasn’t, you did everything you could, I know you would always would

 

(Amy finds two suitable sticks and turns to kai holding them up and looking at Kai like she is sizing a shirt to his body)

 

Amy: Your shirt

 

Kai: (he looks at her) Uh What?

 

Amy: Its the thickest here, I need it

 

(Kai shrugs and takes off his shirt and hands it to her)

 

Amy: Thanks

 

(Amy grabs a knife and cuts it into long ribbons)

Amy: Hold these stick on either side of her leg

Leon: Sure (he holds them to her legs and looks at Amy) Like that

 

Amy: Excellent (she raps the ribbons of the shirt around the leg to bond it, kai gets up and get a shirt from his bag and sits back down, by the time he gets back Amy is doing her finally wrap) Its already begun to get infected. Wouldn't surprise me. Water like that isn't always the cleanest.

 

Tori: how long till the infection gets deadly?

 

Amy: I don’t know without medication it could be a day or two before the infection gets really bad?

 

Kai: what do you need?

 

Amy: Just disinfectant would do it, I need to clean the wound that's all. Once clean I will need antibiotics and I will need to seal it. Stiches? They should work.

 

(Josh and Kate walk back into the campsite)


Josh: So whats the plan (he gets up and walks to josh) Im sorry mate, Its just stressful and (He looks at Kate) Im not use to these kind of things. I know you would have done all you could to save her, you would do it for anyone.

 

Kai: (Pats him on the back) Thanks, but I cant sleep till she is ok.

 

Josh: (to everyone) So what should we do?

 

Kate: We have the quad, someone could take her back on it

 

Leon: It will be to bumpy, she will fall off

Amy: I don’t think she could take another hit and even if you strap her in she will be bumped around. The bone could dislodge and piece more of her leg.

Tori: True, What if we call the rescue company people

 

Josh: There is none here. Haven doesn’t use them

 

Amy: And we left our phones in the car

 

Josh: Wow? Really? Good work

 

Amy: ok maybe a few people should take the Bike and go get Help from the town?

 

Josh: The bike only fits one

 

Amy: It does not

 

Josh: Look I would love to take you, but the quad is much faster with just one person on. I will be better of on my own

 

Kate: No its a long drive what if you crash, I will go

 

Josh: No, im going on my own!

 

(he climbs onto the bike and starts it up, Kai Grabs the handle bars before He speeds off)

 

Kai: we are going to start walking, pick us up with help oh and Dude you have to be careful, (pointing to Kelly) She needs you.

Josh: Will do, Happy Hunting

 

(He scoots off, the others look at him leave, when the sound of the bike dims Kai turns to the group)

 

Kai: Lets get some bags of food and water together, leave the rest here we will have to walk, Amy keep an eye on her. Leon can you put a tarp over the trailer? Thanks mate, (he hugs kate) He will be fine

Kate: I know, its us im worried about, do you really think its a good idea to leave?

 

Kai: I know the idea sounds bad, but we have to make sure Kelly gets somewhere safe no matter what, this is just in case

 

Kate: ok. I trust your judgement

 

Amy: How long till we leave?

 

Kai: Half an Hour I think. We need time to get ready. I will make a stretcher

 

Amy: Ok (looking at Kellys leg) The brace is done

 

(a noise rattles just outside the camp site, everyone looks around and at each other)

 

Kate: Josh?

 

(Kate takes a step forward, as she slowly tilts her head forward Kelly breaths in and grabs Kai's Arm)

 

Kelly: (in his ear) We must leave! (she collapses)

 

(Amy runs to her, examining her, Kate runs over to her as well, Kai looks at where the noise came from)

 

Leon: What the f**k!

 

(Kai leans down and using some material from the tent cover and two large thick sticks that Leon bought back with him he begins to make a stretcher)

 

Amy: Language! (touching her head) She is conscious now!

 

Tori: We can see that!

 

Amy: But she has just passed out, she is exhausted, we will have to help her walk

 

Tori: Ok lets give her an hour then we wake her up to leave

 

Kai: She said we have to leave now!?

 

Tori: Yes but she is delusional and confused

 

Kai: Tori, I have a bad feeling about this

 

Tori: So what we going to leave because of a feeling

 

Kai: Yes

 

Tori: No, we cant its to soon

 

Kai: (Trying to stay calm) Tori, we are leaving now!

 

Kate: Its getting dark, we best leave now

 

(Kai is finished on the stretcher)

 

Tori: Fine, whatever

 

Amy: Leon can you help her into the stretcher

 

Leon: (going over to help lift Kelly to her feet)

 

(Suddenly a rustling in the bush happens again its closer this time)

Voice Of Kai: It feels, the same? as before. Same eyes?

Kelly: (Into Kai's ear) Quick

 

Leon: what the hell!

 

(leon and Amy run over to her pick up the stretcher that she is in)

 

Kate: I think its josh!

 

(Kate runs into the bushes, silence falls, Kelly turns around)

 

Kelly: NO KATE GET OUT OF THERE!

 

(Silence the group waits shortly Kelly gets angry)

Scene 7 - Witch Camp

The Camp of the Witch Cult is in the middle of nowhere but off to the side of a road. The camp is a huge clearing, with totem poles right around it, in the middle is a massive fire, two the left hand side there are instruments, including drums and others, and to the end of the clearing is a throne made of sticks and bright coloured feathers, there are 8 seats on a wood/stick podium, there is one which is close to the throne, and the rest are spread around that in a curved moon shape towards the fire.   


(the group walks down the long dirt road, it is late at night, Kai looks forward after looking behind him, he heard something, Leon and Kai are carrying Kelly, they walk quickly listening to her delusions as she talks quickly to herself about footsteps coming closer and the beats)

 

Kai: Slow down Kelly whats going on?

 

Kelly: (snapping out of her trans and staring at him) you hear it don’t you kai! You should keep moving

 

Amy: Kelly I need to look at your leg!

 

Kelly: Please don’t stop!

 

Leon: Kelly we need to stop

 

Kelly: No (She gets off the stretcher and begins to hobble away. Kai and Leon drop the stretcher and put her arms around them as they help her walk)

 

(They keep walking, but the motor bike is pulled up next to the road, with no one on it. It is not crashed its just parked, in the back ground a faint sound of drumming ring)

 

Leon: What's that noise?

 

Amy: Drumming?

 

Tori: (noticing the bike) Holy S**t! (she runs up to the bike)

 

Amy: what the hell!

 

Kelly: The drumming comes closer (She flicks her head) we must move

 

Kai: Kelly stop it! Where is josh!

Amy: Josh and Kate are probably there

 

(they all start walking towards the light)

 

Kelly: No longer people, stop

 

(they keep walking)

 

Kai: Its ok Kelly, we are almost saved

 

(the Drumming is louder, they walk into a opening where there are people dancing around a large fire, calling out and singing, on the far side of the fire are seven seats made from sticks, Kate sits in one and a man in the other their eyes are black but you cannot see this)

 

(witch1 notices them.)

 

Tori: Ummmm lets go

 

Kai: To late

Arch Witch: Boy, you wouldnt want your pretty little friend to die would you? (She looks in his eyes) You dont want the blame do you (His eyes widen) The pain of having that on your soul? We can help her. We have the medicine to fix that infection.

 

Amy: We need some disinfectant

 

Arch Witch: We have something better (they reach the seven seats)

 

Leon: Kate! (he runs up to her and sees her eyes are black) What!? her eyes are black!

 

Arch Witch: Please, do sit down

Witch3: Ne Kronse (Leons eyes go black and he sits down)

 

Kelly: Its time we leave
