Nightlight Page #2

Synopsis: For years, the Covington forest has been shrouded in mystery, with a dark past as a final destination for troubled youths. Undeterred by the news of a classmate who recently took his life in those woods, five teens journey into the forest for an evening of flashlight games and ghost stories. But their plans go awry when the friends awaken a demonic presence, an unseen evil that will seize upon their deepest fears-and plunge them into a nightmare of absolute terror.

- Who said?

- Girls should be first.

Eleven!

Go Ben!

Amelia!

Do it, do it.

One, two, three, four, five...

I have to say I think Ben's run

was sexier than Chris'.

I am a sexy runner.

I got 12.

Twelve? OK.

Nia, go!

Go, go, go!

- What's up, girl?

- Whoo!

Yeah, let's go Nia.

- Whoo!

- Go girl!

Yeah. Get it.

- Yeah girl.

- This is fun.

- Thirteen, b*tches.

- What's she doing?

- Yo, come on.

- Come on.

Robin!

Hey! Come on!

It's getting closer.

You better run really fast.

OK?

- Go go go.

- Go

- Robin wait!

- Robin! Robin!

Get off the tracks.

Go go go go.

What the f***.

- Holy sh*t!

- Are you OK?

Your flashlight still works.

That's good, because you're

definitely going to need it.

That's what I mean.

Animals sense that sh*t.

Like earthquakes.

What? No.

No. No its like...

In Covington is like

scary evil sh*t.

So if Kramer starts

running from something,

I am getting the f*** outta...

That's it right there.

What?

This is it.

This is what Ritchie

was telling me about.

Want to see

something f***ing swag?

This place fucks with light.

Is this where you were?

Robin?

Yeah. I think so.

Here?

Did we really come

here to watch Chris do magic?

All right. So watch.

Some creepy demon is

gonna sneak up on me,

and turn this flashlight on.

Seriously?

Are you sure this

is where you were?

Because it only works

in specific places.

It's like a 4G.

Like a hot spot.

Maybe it's to the left.

- My left?

- No no no...

To the right, to the right.

Jesus.

Uh...

a little further back.

Back?

- Can we hurry up, please?

- A little further.

Right here?

No, Keep going.

I don't think it was this far.

This is stupid. Can we go please?

More?

Oh, It's

right there. Right there.

Chris, whatever this game is,

I'm sure it would be much

more fun with beer.

Chris?

Oh! I told you!

I told you!

- Oh sh*t!

- Oh, my God.

What the f***?

That was hilarious.

Oh my God.

Was I right?

Because if you die in Covington,

your spirit becomes

a part of the woods.

The rocks...

the grass...

the branches...

the animals...

Everything here is haunted.

You might start to feel sleepy.

You lose your sense

of who you are.

You can't find a way out.

That's because there

is no way out anymore.

You come across

the old church...

You know it was

built in the thirties

to ward off evil,

so maybe it will keep you safe.

You ask forgiveness,

and confess your sins.

That's when it's too late.

The spirits are already there.

They take you over.

No matter what you do now,

you are no longer in control.

You find yourself

drawn to the Crest...

staring down the precipice.

Like hundreds

of people before you.
