“WAYWARD”

EXT. STREET- NIGHT

[Katie and Anna are walking home. The party they were at is in the background and the music can just be heard]

ANNA

How you getting back?

KATIE

(Drunk) Walk. Probably. (Long pause) You?

ANNA

My Dad’s here. I’ll see you later.

[There’s a long pause with no sound Katie is alone]

KATIE

[Twigs can be heard breaking as Katie steps on them]

(Whispering) Where the fuck am I. (Repeating it with slight fear) I don’t know where I am, don’t know where I am. Don’t know.

[We hear Katie rest down on the floor]

EXT. FOREST-DAY(5 AM)

[Katie opens her eyes and sees a man’s legs run by. She then opens her eyes again and checks herself and looks around.]

[She gets up and walks around. Richard appears in the scene and Katie turns around]

KATIE

Who the fuck are you?

RICHARD

(Long pause) Who are you?

KATIE

Can you help me?

[Richard gives a prolonged stare]

[Jump cut to the near future. Katie is being chased. Jumps back to the morning]

EXT. FOREST-DAY(5.30 AM)

[Katie and Richard are entering Richard’s small den]

KATIE

What’s that there? Are you sick?

RICHARD

It’s heroin you wank stain. How are old are you?

KATIE

15. Why?

RICHARD

[Richard is preparing the heroin. He puts the band around his arm]

What you doing at school? That you like I mean.

KATIE

Erm…Latin

RICHARD

If you speak Latin you’re probably a cunt

KATIE

I’m not. You smoke heroin. You probably are.

RICHARD

You don’t smoke heroin, fuck face.

[Richard picks up the towel, which reveals the knife. Katie and Richard exchange looks before Katie rapidly gets up and runs. We see Katie run and Richard run after her.]

[Katie falls over and Richard draws his knife. The screen turns black as Richard goes to stab her. We hear repeated stabbing]

[We see from Katie’s point of view as Richard walks away covered in blood]
