(Day 5, Juwon Stewart and Jennifer return back with the supplies. Hanna, Lisa and Julie return with some firewood.)
JUWON
Hmm. What's this half of the class have dropped out?
JUSTIN
Yup.
JULIE
I guess they were weak after all.
JUHI
Don't say that! It's just that they weren't used to this life.
JUWON
I was expecting you to drop out also Abby.
ABBY
Oh, please. I gave some experience when it comes to camping.
HANNA
Oh, you have camped before?
ABBY
Yeah. And you collected a lot of firewood.
HANNA
This is going to last us for the remaining 2 days.
TOP
I hope this time no one drops out.
STEWART
Where is Kevin and Sukini.
TOP
They dropped out.
STEWART
I see. [Well, that was expected of them. When coming back here, I wanted to make a move on Jennifer but Juwon was right behind us. I wanted him to go on a separate path like we agreed. But he didn't listen. There is no need to be mad. I still have some time to make a move on Jennifer.]
JUSTIN
Did you bring enough supplies?
JUWON
Yeah we did. And now, we're left 2000 credits.
JUSTIN
I see. That won't be enough to buy more supplies.
(Suddenly there is an announcement on their wrist watches.)
ANNOUNCEMENT
We are not allowing students to drop out any longer. If any students drop out without a valid reason like an illness, we'll have to penalize you and your class.
BEN
I guess, we can't drop out any longer.
JUWON
But we can still opt to drop out due to illness.
JULIE
Are you planning of faking illness? Don't be stupid. The teachers might figure out if you are faking or not.
TOP
Oh wow. You have become talkative outsider.
JULIE
I'm stating facts. I guess you are not smart enough.
TOP
What did you just say?!
(Justin stops him.)
JUSTIN
TOP, don't fight her.
TOP
I wasn't going to. And besides, I can't fight a girl.
JUWON
I'm hungry. Let's get something to eat.
ABBY
We could roast some sausages. We have a packet of them.
LISA
Good idea.
(Night fall, the class roast the sausages.)
HAKI
Since, we are roasting sausages in the camp fire. How about we tell stories?
JUHI
Good idea.
ABBY
Okay, anyone has any stories.
MADDIE
And please let it not be scary stories.
HAKI
Oh come on. Scary stories are really fun to tell during camping.
ABBY
Okay, I have a story to tell. It is about a group of students who went on a camping trip to a certain forest…
(Julie gets up.)
JUWON
Where are you going?
JULIE
None of your business.
(She leaves. Juwon notices a walkie talkie in her pocket.)
JUWON
…
TOP
I guess, she's afraid of scary stories.
BEN
Probably.
HANNA
Anyways, Abby. You can continue the story.
ABBY
So, this group of students happened to find a cabin in the middle of the forest. And a creepy old lady welcomed them in…
MADDIE
I don't like this. I'm going into the tent.
(She enters inside the girl's tent.)
TOP
And then what happened?
ABBY
The old lady had long black hair that seemed to be falling off from her head.
JUWON
So, she was balding.
ABBY
She was skinny and wrinkly and you could almost see her bones. And not to mention she had wide eyes that seemed to be popping out of their sockets. And she didn't seem be blinking at all. She served the students some dinner and told them they're welcomed to stay at her place. She gave them rooms and told them you can explore the cabin but don't go into the basement.
TOP
What's in the basement?
ABBY
I'm getting to that later. The dinner she served was roast potatoes, peas and a suspicious looking meat. The students ate to their fill and went to the bed. One of them who's the main character named Kendall happened to notice that her friends were going missing. She asked the old lady about it but she didn't say a thing. Which made Kendall be suspicious. One day, she decided to go to one place where the old lady told her not to go.
HANNA
The basement.
ABBY
Exactly. Once Kendall opened the basement door. She was horrified. She saw pieces of human meat being hanged like they were in a butchery. And then she saw the old lady cutting some pieces of meat. She then saw heads.
HAKI
…
TOP
…
ABBY
It was the heads of her classmates. Kendall gasped in horror. She wanted to scream but she couldn't. She then connected the dots. The meat that the old lady was feeding to her and friends was not beef as the old lady said it to be. It was human meat. And her friends who went missing were being butchered. Then she locked eyes onto the old lady. She quickly ran and hid in her bedroom. She tried calling the cops. But no signal. And her phone's battery died.
JUWON
That usually happens in horror movies.
ABBY
Kendall then heard footsteps approaching her. She hid under the bed as the door creaked open. A loud creak. She could see the woman's bare feet walking by. The old lady was looking for. Kendall covered her mouth not to scream. The footsteps then left the room and died in a moment. Or so, Kendall though. Before, she could get out of the bed…
(Everyone is keenly listening to the story. Including Maddie whose head is peaking out of the opening of the tent.)
ABBY
Kendall came to face with the old lady's wrinkly bony face. Her wide eyes staring intensely at her….
(Abby does a jump scare making TOP to scream. The others are startled.)
TOP
Uwaaaaaah!
