Nightlight Page #5

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.

Hey, hey, boy.

I love this game.

Gotcha!

Where would I hide?

Where the f*** are they?

Found you.

Guys?

Ben was here.

Do you want my autograph?

I was just here.

OK the creek is on...

No, it's to the left.

Hang on. Train tracks are

back there, so...

There they are.

Guys!

Whoa.

Who the f*** set this off?

OK, I came from this way,

and I came back...

I came back around...

Sh*t I'm lost.

This f***ing thing.

Robin, your flashlight

is a piece of sh*t.

What the f*** is that?

God.

Holy sh*t.

Nightlight!

Guys?

Are you up here?

Guys?

F***.

How far down is that?

Ben?

Ben!

Is that my flashlight?

How long have we been walking?

Why would he

leave my flashlight here?

Because he's being Ben.

So what?

He's messing with us?

You know... What was that?

Maybe he found Chris and Amelia.

He probably found

them f***ing in the woods.

Let's go, Nia.

What if he's hurt?

Let's keep going.

This is freaking ridiculous.

I got stuck with you.

People go out here all the time,

and they don't come back.

You don't actually believe

those stupid stories do you?

No, Nia.

I want to make sure

that Ben is not hurt.

Are you coming or not?

Robin?

Did you really know

the boy who died here?

His name was Ethan.

Do you ever wonder if he...

actually meant to kill himself?

Look, I'm leaving Ben's

light so I can find my way back.

OK, good for you.

I need you to wait for me,

because I don't know how to get

out of the woods from here.

Yeah, OK. We'll see.

I am serious.

- OK.

- I am serious.

OK.

- OK?

- OK.

Thank you.

Ben?

Is everything cool?

Ben, is everything cool?

I'm so worried about you.

B*tch.

Ben.

Why did I have to

get stuck with Nia?

Ben?

Chris!

Hello?

Ben!

Ben!

Ben.

Sh*t, I've been looking

everywhere for you.

Look, Nia is waiting

for us, so we should...

We should go... back...

Wait, Ben...

Where you going?

Ben?

Ben, stop f***ing with me...

What the f***?

I just want this night be over.

F***. Come on.

Come on, come on, you

stupid f***ing flashlight.

Just...

Oh, God damn it.

Just for once...

You piece of sh*t.

Ben?
