Missing

Friends, Lucy and Charlotte are walking down a street lit road, casually talking.

Charlotte

Where’s that concert you’re going to?

 

Lucy

O2 Academy

    

Charlotte

I was thinking about coming, what date is it?

 

Lucy

6^th February, on Saturday. You coming?

 

Charlotte

Ohh no, is that this Saturday?

 

Lucy

Yeah, why?

 

Charlotte

I’ve got work.

 

Lucy

Ohh for god’s sake. Anyway, see you later! Facetime me when you’re home.

 

Charlotte

See you.

 

Charlotte walks towards the entrance of the woods. She opens the gate, and heads through the dark woods alone. She gets out her phone from her pocket, scrolling social media.

 

As she walks along the path she hears a crunch of leaves being stood on behind her. She suddenly turns around to see who’s there. No one is to be seen. She begins to pick up the pace, and keeps looking behind her to check if anyone’s there.

 

Antagonist POV:

He spies on the girl through the bushes, following her tracks. He is quiet and calm, as represented in his slow breathing/heart rate in contrast to Charlotte’s.

She sees a black silhouette in the distance, stumbling on her feet she runs faster only to turn back around and the figure has disappeared. Her breathing rate picks up and she panics. She runs to the gate, her shaking hands struggle to grasp the latch in time. She hears the breathing behind her, it’s too late. A hand grabs her mouth.

*Muffled scream from Charlotte* and she is suddenly plunged into darkness and a black bag is carelessly shoved over her head.
