Beware what comes with the dark

EXT. THE SAINT ANBA'S WOODS - NIGHT.

A dark, rumbling sky. Haze clings to the woods as we float

across it, scary view bring the death ,an old cabin wood with

faint lights coming from inside, we drift slowly towards it ,

interior light drag us to discover what happens there's as

body moving inside.

INT. THE CABIN WOOD - NIGHT.

Marco is a 20-year-old young man of average height and build.

He has short brown hair, always neatly styled in a simple

way, and dark brown eyes that reflect a blend of calmness and

intelligence.

sitting quietly near fireplace and play with wooden toys even

he is older little bit for that.

MARCO:

(To himself)

Surely I'm not alone in this

misery?

With a crazed smile, he continues to play, humming softly to

himself. Suddenly, he stares toward the corner of the cabin

wood, lost in the thick darkness. There, he notices a pair of

completely red eyes, gleaming in the distance, like rubies.

MARCO (CONT'D)

Come play with me.

Suddenly, a dark gray mist emerges from that eerie corner,

and the red eyes move closer and closer to Marco, though he

remains calm, staring at them.

A dark, hairy hand extends from the shadow, snatching the

wooden toy from his grip.

Tears well up in Marco's eyes, as if he's about to burst into

tears.

Then, a deep, menacing voice echoes, sending chills through

the air:

KORMAG:

(in a deep, ominous voice)

Throw away that junk... I have a

better toy for you.

2.

MARCO:

(nervous and scared)

Why.. who are you? What do you want

from me?

KORMAG:

(with a sinister smile)

My name is Kormag..

MARCO:

(voice trembling)

Where did you come from? And... why

did you take my toy?

KORMAG:

(moving closer)

I came from the shadows of worlds

you've never seen... As for your

toy, don’t cry over it, there’s

something much better waiting for

you.

MARCO:

(trying to understand)

What do you mean? Why me?

KORMAG:

(in a terrifying tone)

Because you are chosen... Your task

is great, and the reward you'll

receive is beyond anything you can

imagine.

MARCO:

(hesitantly)

Why... who chose me? Why?

KORMAG:

You were chosen by forces no one

can comprehend... You have an

important role in what's coming. Be

ready, the reward is immense... but

only the patient will reach it.

FADE TO BLACK.

A few seconds later, the title of the film appears in blood red letters, vivid like fresh blood.

The title lingers for a moment, then slowly fades away,

leaving the screen in complete darkness.

Fade in

INT. GEORGIA'S HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - DAY.

The living room is modest, with soft lighting filtering

through the curtains.

A cozy but simple couch faces a small coffee table. The walls

are lined with bookshelves, cluttered with novels and DVDs.

There's a TV on one side, turned off. The atmosphere is

quiet, almost melancholic.

GEORGIA JONES, 26, sits on one side of the couch. She’s

short, with long black hair and brown eyes, short.

Her appearance is plain but not unattractive.

A perpetual loser in life and love, Georgia has no boyfriend

and prefers solitude. She has only one friend.

SARAH, taller, sits across from her.

Her light brown eyes meet Georgia’s in silence.

Sarah’s short hair barely brushes her shoulders, and her

casual style consists of jeans and T-shirts—never dresses.

Both sip their orange juice in heavy, stifling silence.

Finally, SARAH breaks the quiet.

SARAH:

There’s a trip to Saint Anba's

Forest with my friends. There’s an

open spot if you’d like to come.

GEORGIA:

No, thanks. I’d rather stay home

and watch movies.

Sarah shifts in her seat, trying to find the right words.

She’s determined to get her friend out of this self-imposed

isolation.

SARAH:

Come on, Georgia. You might meet

someone, maybe a guy, fall in love…

and finally break free from this...

cocoon.

Georgia raises an eyebrow, clearly uninterested.

4.

GEORGIA:

I doubt it. I’m not the 'fall in

love at first sight' type.

Sarah sighs, not giving up just yet.

SARAH:

Maybe that’s exactly why you should

give it a try. You never know

what’s out there waiting for you.

Georgia looks away, still unconvinced but visibly softened by

Sarah’s persistence.

The room is filled with the sound of their quiet breaths as

Georgia contemplates her friend’s offer.

Georgia and Sarah are sitting on the couch, drinking juice.

SARAH (CONT'D)

At least come with me for my sake,

for the sake of our friendship.

GEORGIA:

(after a moment of

thought)

Alright, but on one condition.

SARAH:

(curiously)

What is it?

GEORGIA:

(firmly)

Don’t force me to talk to boys or

introduce me to them. If I want to,

I’ll do it myself.

SARAH:

(smiling)

Okay, you got it.

Georgia sets her juice aside and heads to her room, talking

to Sarah without turning to her.

GEORGIA:

I’ll get some of my things.

Sarah, still sitting and sipping her juice, watches Georgia

from her seat.

5.

SARAH:

(casually)

Take your time. My stuff’s already

in the car.

Georgia enters her room and starts packing a few items.

SARAH (CONT'D)

(shouting playfully)

But seriously, Georgia, you act

like you’re still in elementary

school! Like boys are monsters or

something.

INT. GEORGIA'S HOUSE - BEDROOM- DAY.

Georgia, from her room, stuffing clothes into a small bag.

GEORGIA:

(sarcastically)

I’m not uptight, but you know how

it starts... “Hi there” and before

you know it, things spiral into

drama I don’t need.

INT. GEORGIA'S HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - DAY.

Sarah takes another sip of juice and laughs.

SARAH:

Oh, I’m sure trouble will find you,

even if you stay at home.

INT. GEORGIA'S HOUSE - BEDROOM - DAY

Georgia smiles, still packing.

GEORGIA:

What can I say? I’m a magnet for

chaos.

INT. GEORGIA'S HOUSE - LIVING ROOM - DAY.

Sarah walks over to the doorway of Georgia’s room, juice in

hand.

6.

SARAH:

(teasing)

You know, if you keep staying home

all the time, people are gonna

start wondering. Don’t tell me

you’re planning to become a nun?

GEORGIA:

(laughing as she zips up

her bag)

Don’t worry, I’ll go out… but with

people I choose, not you.

Sarah heads back to the couch, finishing her juice and

placing the glass on the table.

SARAH:

Alright, you always have to set the

rules… Come on, let’s go before you

write another contract!

EXT. SUPERMARKET - EVENING.

A wide shot reveals the front of a bustling supermarket.

Shoppers with carts move in and out of the automatic glass

doors.

A few cars are parked in front, and a delivery truck is

unloading goods at the side entrance.

The sun casts a bright light, and a gentle breeze stirs the

trees in the parking lot.

A mother and child walk toward the entrance, chatting

animatedly.

A teenager rushes by on a bicycle, narrowly avoiding an

elderly man carrying a shopping bag.

footsteps, snippets of conversation, and the occasional honk

of a car horn.

Rami Al-Yazid From Algeria, Rami stands out with his imposing

presence and quiet demeanor.

He’s taller and stronger than the rest, with a lean, muscular

build but addicted to smoking cigarettes.

Fair-skinned, dark hair, and sharp facial features that add

to his intimidating aura.

7.

His eyes are intense and calculating, giving off a sense of

someone who’s always aware of his surroundings.

Rami is a master of stealth and physical strength, His

movements are silent and precise, making him exceptional at

tasks requiring subtlety or force.

He rarely speaks, which makes others uncomfortable around

him. The others are afraid of him and tend to avoid him,

sensing that there’s something dangerous about his silence.

Despite this, he’s fiercely loyal to the few people he

trusts.

Rami standing near his friend Ethan Cross , he Born and

raised in a small town, Ethan is easy-going personality.

He’s the cool guy in the group, always quick with a smile or

a joke.

Medium height, light brown hair that’s always a bit messy,

and a strong but not overly muscular build.

He usually wears casual clothes that reflect his laid-back

attitude.

Ethan’s greatest ability is his charisma.

He can talk his way out of almost any situation and knows how

to connect with people quickly.

Ethan gently pushes his friend in a playful manner.

ETHAN:

Life is short, Smile while you

still have teeth!

RAMI:

Push me again, and you'll find out

just how short life really is.

Ethan playfully pushes Rami again, a mischievous smile on his

face.

ETHAN:

(with a calm smile) )

I know who you are... you're my

friend. Those words, say them to

strangers, not to me.

Rami stands still, giving Ethan a sharp look, then takes a

step closer to him.

8.

RAMI:

(in a calm but

intimidating tone)

You're playing with fire, Ethan.

ETHAN:

(narrowing his eyes,

pretending to provoke)

Oh, is that a threat?

Rami steps even closer, lowering his voice as if he's

whispering.

RAMI:

No, just a warning... you know I

can be a little strange sometimes.

Ethan raises an eyebrow slightly, then laughs lightly.

ETHAN:

Strange? That's you on good days,

Rami.

Rami smiles just barely, then suddenly wraps his arms around

Ethan tightly in a bear hug that resembles a choke, causing

Ethan to grunt a bit.

RAMI:

Well, what if I decided to play

rough?

Ethan tries to squirm out, laughing despite the pressure.

ETHAN:

Ah! Stop it, man! I was just

joking!

Rami tightens his grip around Ethan, maintaining a calm

smile.

RAMI:

Oh, really? I was joking too.

Ethan gasps a little, then bursts out laughing, trying to

reach Rami's shoulder to pat him lightly.

ETHAN:

Okay, okay, I get it! You're the

strongest; come on, let me go

before I pass out.

9.

Rami chuckles softly, then loosens his arms around Ethan but

stays close.

RAMI:

Don’t worry, I just wanted to

remind you... of my strangeness."

Ethan catches his breath, smiling at him gratefully.

ETHAN:

And how could I forget? I'm the

only crazy one willing to consider

someone like you a friend.

Rami shrugs as if to say "That's true," then places a hand on

Ethan's shoulder in a friendly way, and they both laugh, the

atmosphere between them shifting from tension to playful

camaraderie.

Suddenly, a Mercedes pulls up and parks in front of them.

Lina Carter and her boyfriend Derek Holt step out, both

dressed in expensive clothing that showcases their

extravagant wealth.

Derek comes from an affluent tech-savvy family and has always

been fascinated by computers and gadgets.

He’s the brains of the group, frequently coming up with

innovative solutions, but his privileged background makes him

somewhat disconnected from the struggles of others.

Slender build, wearing designer glasses that enhance his

slightly geeky look.

His dark hair is impeccably styled, and he often sports high-end fashion brands that showcase his wealth.

He’s usually seen carrying the latest gadgets, whether it’s a

sleek tablet, a premium laptop, or a fancy smartwatch,

emphasizing his obsession with technology.

Lina has a striking presence, with long, flowing hair that

frames her face perfectly.

She often wears elegant yet stylish clothing that reflects

her wealth, but she avoids flashy brands, preferring timeless

pieces that exude class.

10.

Her expressive eyes are her most captivating feature, often

reflecting her intelligence and empathy.

Lina is not just rich; she is incredibly perceptive and has

an uncanny ability to read people by looking into their eyes.

This skill allows her to understand others’ emotions and

intentions deeply. She is strong-willed and unafraid of

confrontation, often stepping in to defend her boyfriend

during his altercations.

Derek grips his girlfriend's hand tightly as he strides

toward Ethan and his friend, casting sneaky glances at Rami

that clearly convey mockery without saying a word.

Lina notices this and leans in to whisper in his ear.

LINA:

That's enough. You know I studied

psychology, and your eyes have

given you away.

DEREK:

I know. I just don't like the way

he looks.

LINA:

Whether you like it or not, you

need to respect him. Not for his

sake, but for our friend Ethan.

DEREK:

Fine, but I can’t promise anything.

Lina arrives at the place and smiles upon seeing Ethan, She

approaches him and shakes his hand warmly.

LINA:

Ethan! It's great to see you

again!"

ETHAN:

(smiling)

You too, Lina! How have you been?

Then, Lina moves towards Rami and shakes his hand, welcoming

him.

LINA:

Hello, How are you?

Rami responds with a friendly smile but remains silent.

11.

Lina plays with her gaze until it reaches his eyes, focusing

on those dark eyes.

Suddenly, her expression shifts to one of fear, as if she’s

seen something horrifying, while Rami remains calm and

collected.

Derek's Segment and the Rising Tension

Derek enters, shaking Ethan’s hand in a way that belittles

his status.

DEREK:

(with a sarcastic smile)

Hey, Ethan. How's life in your

simple world?

Rami notices this and pushes Derek hard, but he doesn’t fall.

RAMI:

(seriously)

Stop mocking him.

DEREK:

(laughing mockingly)

Why? Is he your friend or your

brother?

The tension escalates between them as Ethan tries to calm the

situation.

ETHAN:

Rami, hold your anger, There's no

need for that; let’s just chill.

Lina steps between them, continuing to stare into Rami’s

eyes, as if trying to read his character without him

noticing.

LINA:

(in a terrified tone) )

Oh my God!

ETHAN:

Step back, Derek. This is a bad

idea.

She turns to her boyfriend.

LINA:

You’re right; he’s different. I see

a death in those eyes... a tragic,

dark past.

12.

DEREK:

(coldly)

I don’t care. I can handle him.

LINA:

(gently pushing him)

Trust me, he’ll kill you with a

wide smile and then urinate on your

corpse.

( sad looks )

I don’t know what was in the past,

but believe me, that person is

dead.

DEREK:

(smirking wickedly)

You should thank her, she saved

your life.

Rami turns to Lina with a sly smile.

RAMI:

Thank you, my lady.

(He redirects his gaze

toward Derek.)

But who will save you?

He pulls out a cigarette and steps back a little.

RAMI (CONT'D)

This isn’t over. I’ll deal with you

my way, in my style, when the

moment is right. You’ll regret

that.

LINA:

(ordering her boyfriend)

What do you say you get us

something to eat on our trip?

(looking at Ethan)

Do you want anything?

ETHAN:

No, thank you very much.

DEREK:

(smiling)

I’ll get you chips and chocolate.

LINA:

What about you, Mr. Rami?

from afar as he smokes

13.

RAMI:

Miss, your behavior is as if you

brought something. Thank you, my

pride refuses to ask for anything.

ETHAN:

Get him a pack of cigarettes and

coffee.

LINA:

Okay, go get what we ordered, and

also buy us some things.

DEREK:

You got it, babe.

gives her a light kiss and heads to the store.

Lina walks towards Rami with steady steps, talking to

herself.

LINA:

Now I’ll try to calm him down and

get that idea out of his head.

Lina places her hand on Rami's shoulder but quickly withdraws

it after he gives her a strong, frightening look.

She speaks in a friendly tone.

LINA (CONT'D)

Mr. Rami, I know it's not my place,

but you need to forget the past and

focus on the present.

RAMI:

Yes, it's not your concern, and I

also can't forget the past because

it has become part of my present

and future.

A moment of silence passes between them before Lina

continues.

LINA:

I just want what's best for you.

You can start anew.

RAMI:

I don't need a fresh start. The

past haunts me, and I can't let it

go easily.

14.

Lina looks at him cautiously.

LINA:

But continuing to dwell on the past

won't bring you anything good. You

might miss out on opportunities.

RAMI:

If you're trying to save your

boyfriend, don't worry. I won't

hurt him. I was just trying to

scare him. Besides, I have a scary

reputation I want to maintain.

Lina smiles warmly and lovingly, then tries to place her hand

back on Rami's shoulder.

He responds with that look again, causing her to withdraw her

hand in a flash before she speaks gently.

LINA:

We may not know each other well,

but I want you to feel like you’re

among family on this trip.

RAMI:

Thank you so much, Miss Lina, but

Ethan is my only family since my

real family was killed.

Lina smiles gently, saying.

LINA:

Oh, I knew it

(laughing)

My analysis is always correct.

Rami then smiles back warmly and playfully pushes her.

RAMI:

You better not do that again.

Lina playfully pushes him back.

LINA:

It'll be a secret between us.

They then head toward Ethan and Derek,Lina then runs toward

her boyfriend while Rami walks slowly behind.

15.

EXT. SUPERMARKET - CONTINUOUS.

hey stand waiting for Sara with anxiety and annoyance as they

carry their bags and the items they bought, except for Rami,

who carries a backpack and smokes his cigarette calmly like

Time is in his hands, unlike the others.

DEREK:

Where is she for heaven's sake?

ETHAN:

She was supposed to be here before

sunset.

LINA:

It's better for her not to be off

having sex with Jack while we wait

her arrive .

ETHAN:

No, she broke up with him.

LINA:

Good, I hate that guy so much.

She shifts her gaze to Rami, who is enjoying his cigarette as

if he were gently kissing his girlfriend with light desire.

LINA (CONT'D)

That'll kill you one day.

RAMI:

When humans fail to kill me, is a

cigarette going to do the job?

(Rami smiles

mysteriously.)

I don't fall easily, and if I do, I

fall in my own way and style.

DEREK:

That's a strange way of thinking.

But don't forget that everything

has an end, even if you think

you're invincible.

RAMI:

End? What is an end to you?

LINA:

The important thing is to wait. She

might show up soon. But I don't

like this tension.

16.

RAMI:

Tension is a part of life; it makes

things more exciting.

ETHAN:

I hope she arrives soon because I

can’t take waiting any longer.

Rami goes back to smoking his cigarette while everyone

exchanges tense glances.

After a few minutes, Sara arrives, driving a white family

van( 15 SUV s)

We watch her approach from a distance, getting closer and

closer.

ETHAN (CONT'D)

Finally, she’s here.

DEREK:

We were about to grow old waiting

Sarah is seen driving her white family truck.

She speeds up steadily, and as she approaches the designated

spot, she maneuvers with a professional move, reminiscent of

NASCAR racing.

She spins the steering wheel skillfully, parking the truck in

a tight spot with perfect precision.

Smoke slightly rises from the tires, accompanied by the

screeching sound against the pavement, before the truck comes

to a sharp and precise stop.

SARAH:

(in a commanding voice)

jump in , quickly!

Everyone moves towards the truck.

Ethan opens the middle door and sits next to Derek and Lina,

who take the middle seats. Rami, as usual, chooses to sit

alone in the backseat.

He sits silently, resting his head against the window,

observing everyone without uttering a word.

Sarah presses the gas pedal, and the truck moves forcefully.

It speeds down the road, leaving behind the powerful sound of

the engine.

17.

We see Sarah gripping the steering wheel firmly, while

everyone sits quietly, trying to adjust to Sara’s fast

driving.

The road stretches long before them, and Sara’s face shows a

look of intense focus as she maneuvers between cars on the

road.

EXT. THE ROAD - CONTINUOUS.

the truck speeding down the road.

INT. THE FAMILY VAN 15 SUV S - CONTINUOUS.

Everyone sits in silence, the atmosphere filled with slight

tension.

Rami, who’s seated in the back, cracks open the window, then

lights a cigarette.

He exhales the smoke quietly as he gazes at the long stretch

of road ahead.

Georgia, seated in the first row, notices Rami through the

side mirror and glances at him with curiosity.

GEORGIA:

(in a soft voice, trying

to break the silence)

Why do you smoke ?

RAMI:

(coldly)

Because I want to.

GEORGIA:

(irritated) )

Don’t you think smoking is bad for

your health?

RAMI:

Maybe.

GEORGIA:

(SIGHS)

Don’t you ever think of quitting?

RAMI:

No.

18.

The signs of frustration grow on Georgia’s face, but she

tries to keep the conversation going.

GEORGIA:

Is there anything you’d like to

talk about besides smoking?

RAMI:

(glancing at her with cold

eyes)

No.

Georgia’s anger builds up, and she finally raises her voice.

GEORGIA:

Go to hell! My mistake for trying

to be nice!

Before Rami can respond, Ethan laughs from the middle seat,

attempting to ease the situation.

ETHAN:

(laughing)

Lucky for you, you’re a girl. If

you were a guy and said that, you’d

be buried in an unmarked grave by

now!

Georgia stares at Ethan in shock.

GEORGIA:

What do you mean?

ETHAN:

(smiling, trying to joke

seriously)

Rami isn’t like the others. His

stories aren’t for fun. There’s a

dangerous side to him, and his

reputation alone is enough to scare

anyone.

Georgia turns back towards Rami, who continues to smoke

calmly, showing no interest in the conversation.

GEORGIA:

Are you saying he’s killed people

or what?

ETHAN:

(in a serious tone)

Something like that. It’s better if

you don’t know the details.

19.

Curiosity and anxiety grow on Georgia’s face, but she remains

silent for a moment.

GEORGIA:

Did you… did you really kill

someone, Rami?

Rami exhales the smoke slowly, then looks directly at her,

his eyes cold and unblinking.

RAMI:

That’s none of your business.

Georgia’s eyes widen slightly, and she turns her gaze back to

the road in silence.

The atmosphere becomes even heavier as Rami continues

smoking.

ETHAN:

(trying to change the

subject)

Let me tell you something, Georgia.

Rami here isn’t just an ordinary

guy. He’s been through a lot,

things none of us could bear. It’s

only natural for him to become

quiet… and mysterious.

Rami listens in silence, without showing any reaction,

smoking his cigarette as if what Ethan is saying doesn’t

concern him.

ETHAN (CONT'D)

The calmness you see… it’s what

remains after the storm. And what

remains can’t be changed, only

accepted.

Everyone looks at Rami, who remains still, composed, and

indifferent to what’s happening around him.

He keeps exhaling smoke, while the truck continues its

journey down the long road.

LINA:

(looking to rami)

Do not think about the past

very much, doing this leads to

frustration and depression, so it

is important to be more concerned

with future plans and goals

arrangement.

20.

RAMI:

Well, thanks for the tip.

GEORGIA:

So how's your girlfriend, Ethan?

ETHAN:

(with happy tone)

We broke up.

GEORGIA:

Why?

The tension inside the van car after the heated exchange

between Rami and Georgia.

The silence becomes deafening. Georgia’s eyes are filled with

anger and confusion as she turns sharply towards Rami, her

voice rising with defiance.

GEORGIA (CONT'D)

(furious)

What do you think you are,

Mussolini? Controlling everything

like it’s your business? It’s none

of your concern!

Rami shifts slightly, his eyes narrowing as he responds in a

calm yet intimidating tone.

RAMI:

(challenging)

Not Mussolini… I’m Hulagu. If the

Mongols took down the Abbasid

Caliphate, I’ll bring down anyone

who thinks they’re invincible. And

by the way… he’s my friend and he

trusts me. I know exactly what I’m

doing.

Georgia’s face twists with disbelief and mockery.

GEORGIA:

And you know about relationships? I

pity your girlfriend."

Before Rami can respond, Ethan’s voice cuts through like a

blade.

ETHAN:

(yelling) )

Shut your mouth, you whore!

21.

Everyone in the van falls silent. Lina’s eyes widen in shock

as she turns towards Ethan.

LINA:

(angry and confused)

What the hell is wrong with you?!

DEREK:

(incredulous)

Seriously, Ethan! What’s going on?

You’ve never spoken like this

before. Not even to Sarah.

Ethan grits his teeth, frustration and anger boiling over.

He looks at Rami as if searching for guidance, his voice

trembling with unspoken pain.

SARAH:

Is there something we should know?

This isn’t like you.

Rami glances at Ethan, then at Georgia, before sighing

deeply. His gaze softens as he speaks.

RAMI:

(softly)

Let it stay buried with her, Ethan.

She doesn’t know… so I don’t blame

her.

He turns to Georgia, his eyes heavy with sorrow and a quiet

strength.

RAMI (CONT'D)

(cold yet gentle)

If you talk to her like that again…

you’ll see a side of me you don’t

want to see.

Ethan’s expression shifts to one of regret.

He lowers his gaze, his shoulders slumping.

ETHAN:

(sincerely)

I’m sorry, brother. I lost it.

Rami sighs and turns his head to look out the window, the

streetlights casting shadows across his face.

He nods slowly.

22.

RAMI:

(calmly)

I’m used to it. It’s become routine

by now.

He falls silent, his gaze distant and unfocused.

A single tear escapes his eye, catching the attention of

everyone in the van.

For a moment, time seems to freeze as they all realize the

depth of his pain.

Georgia’s eyes soften, guilt washing over her.

GEORGIA:

(whispering)

I… I didn’t know. I’m sorry.

LINA:

(gently)

Rami… we didn’t mean to bring up

something painful. We had no idea…

DEREK:

(awkwardly)

Yeah… man, we didn’t know. I mean…

what happened to her?

Rami closes his eyes briefly, struggling to keep his emotions

in check.

When he speaks, his voice is barely above a whisper.

RAMI:

My wife… she… passed away. A long

time ago.

Everyone exchanges shocked glances, the weight of his words

sinking in.

Georgia’s lips tremble as she reaches out, her voice

breaking.

GEORGIA:

(softly)

I… I’m so sorry, Rami. I shouldn’t

have said what I did. I’m sorry…

Rami turns towards her, giving a small nod, acknowledging her

apology.

23.

RAMI:

(quietly)

It’s okay. You didn’t know. Just…

let’s leave it at that.

The van falls silent again, but this time, the tension has

shifted to sorrow and understanding.

Rami shakes his head, offering a faint smile of reassurance,

but the pain in his eyes remains.

RAMI (CONT'D)

It’s in the past now. Let’s just…

focus on what’s ahead.

The truck continues down the road, but the atmosphere is no

longer filled with anger or tension.

Instead, it’s marked by a shared silence, one filled with

empathy and the unspoken bond of friends who now understand

each other just a little more.

INT. THE CABIN WOOD - MARCO BEDROOM - NIGHT.

اThe room has completely changed, with polished walls and

luxurious furniture.

The bed is large and opulent, draped with silk covers.

A modern TV and advanced computer sit on a desk, with a large

collection of video games scattered in the corners of the

room.

The new wardrobe gleams, looking sleek and modern.

Marco lies on the bed, staring towards the dark corner of the

room, speaking to the unseen creature standing there.

MARCO:

(gratefully)

This is incredible… I can’t believe

this is the same place I used to

live in. You’ve turned my little

cabin wood into a real home, big

and strong, made of cement and

stone... Thank you.

From the dark corner, the creature’s voice emerges,

mysterious and imposing with red eyes glowing.

KORMAG:

I told you... the reward is beyond

imagination.

24.

Marco slowly sits up on the bed, glancing around again,

marveling at the transformation.

MARCO:

(curiously)

But why are you doing all this?

What do you want?

Kormag steps out of the darkness, a dark gray mist emerges

from that eerie corner, and the red eyes , a faint light

revealing part of its terrifying form.

KORMAG:

(in a deep voice)

Rise, Marco… You need to prepare

the guest rooms. They’re close to

arriving, and everything must be in

perfect condition.

Marco stands up, confusion and fear creeping onto his face.

MARCO:

Guests? Who are you talking about?

The creature moves closer, its footsteps heavy.

KORMAG:

Their souls… I will take them. I

will fill my world with them. And

this house... will be the

beginning.

Marco gulps nervously, feeling a strange weight in the air.

MARCO:

(anxiously):
)

Are you… are you sure? Is this

really happening tonight?

KORMAG:

(commanding)

Everything is ready, Marco. I gave

you this house to assist me, not to

question. Do your part.

Marco looks back at the dark corner one last time, then

starts to move, uneasy and fearful of the events to come.

EXT. THE EDGE SAINT ANBA'S WOODS - NIGHT.

The car comes to a stop at the forest entrance.

25.

Sarah steps out, closing the door behind her, and the rest of

the group follows, carrying their bags and belongings.

They stand for a moment, gazing into the depths of the

forest, the cool air brushing against their faces.

SARAH:

(smiling as she looks at

the forest)

It’s been so long since we’ve been

here... Remember? This is where I

had sex for the first time with

Jack.

Lina raises her eyebrows in surprise, while the rest of the

group exchange awkward glances.

LINA:

(astonished and slightly

annoyed)

Why are you telling us that? I hate

Jack.

SARAH:

(confused)

Why?

Rami stands a little further away, silently smoking a

cigarette, listening but not participating in the

conversation.

GEORGIA:

(disdainfully)

Because he always acted like he was

better than everyone, like he was

the king of the world.

ETHAN:

(laughing softly)

Yeah, and every time we hung out,

all he talked about was his little,

pointless achievements.

DEREK:

(mockingly)

Don’t forget how he always tried to

seem smarter than the rest of us.

Rami takes another drag from his cigarette, remaining silent.

SARAH:

(laughing, shaking her

head)

(MORE)

26.

SARAH (CONT'D)

I hate him too, that’s why I broke

up with him. He thought he was a

king!

(She looks towards the

forest)

Come on, let’s go.

The group starts to move into the forest, walking through the

thick trees.

We follow behind, watching their steps and actions.

Sometimes we move ahead, and other times we walk beside them,

carefully observing their movements.

EXT. INSIDE THE SAINT ANBA'S WOODS - NIGHT.

Rami stands in the middle of the group, suddenly raising his

voice.

RAMI:

(loudly)

Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy

and blessings!

Everyone turns towards him, astonished and confused, looking

around in bewilderment.

GEORGIA:

(puzzled)

Why did you yell? There’s no one

here.

Rami gazes into the forest thoughtfully, taking a drag from

his cigarette.

RAMI:

(calmly)

I know... There are no humans here,

but the forest is full of invisible

creatures... like jinn, and many

beings that haven’t been mentioned

in the holy books.

The group exchanges uneasy glances, a creeping sense of fear

spreading among them.

ETHAN:

(nervously)

Are... are you joking? I don’t want

to hear about this right now.

27.

LINA:

(anxiously)

I’m starting to feel uncomfortable,

Why did we even come here?

SARAH:

(trying to lighten the

mood)

Come on, no need to worry, we’re

just here to have fun, right?

Rami takes another drag from his cigarette, speaking in a

calm tone as he walks among them.

RAMI:

(calmly)

Don’t joke around... There are red

eyes watching us since we entered

the forest... They’re walking with

us, like they’re guiding us... or

maybe waiting for something.

Everyone freezes for a moment, slowly turning their heads,

trying to see what Rami is talking about, but nothing appears

in the thick darkness.

The group continues walking deeper into the forest, the heavy

silence surrounding them, when suddenly, they hear a strange

sound resembling a wolf's howl.

Georgia jumps in fear and grabs Rami’s arm with her right

hand, seeking protection without saying a word.

Everyone turns to look at Georgia, astonished, and they start

laughing.

DEREK:

(laughing lightly)

Oh, looks like Georgia finally

found herself a boyfriend!

LINA:

(laughing)

Yeah, Rami, protector of maidens

from the wolves!

SARAH:

(jokingly)

Watch out, everyone, we’ve got a

new love story here!

Rami smiles quietly, glancing at Georgia who’s still

clutching him tightly.

28.

RAMI:

(calmly as he walks)

It’s just a wolf, Georgia. You can

let go now.

But Georgia shakes her head, refusing to release him out of

sheer fear.

Rami chuckles softly, then gently removes her hand from his

arm.

RAMI (CONT'D)

(in a calm tone)

Don’t worry, you’re fine.

Rami catches up to the group, who’ve started walking faster,

leaving Georgia standing alone for a few moments.

As Georgia prepares to follow them, another strange sound

emerges from the depths of the forest, eerie and unsettling,

unlike the wolf's howl.

She freezes, her heart pounding harder, staring into the edge

of the forest.

In that moment, she catches sight of the red eyes Rami

mentioned earlier, watching her from the darkness.

Fear overwhelms her again, and she runs towards the group,

yelling in a trembling voice.

GEORGIA:

(shouting)

Wait for me… I don’t want to die

here!

The group stops and looks back, laughing, as Georgia rushes

to catch up with them.

INT. INSIDE THE SAINT ANBA'S WOODS - CONTINUOUS.

Rami, Lina, Derek, Ethan, and Sarah walk slowly through the

forest, while Georgia follows behind, glancing around in fear

and panic.

The group talks among themselves, with Rami occasionally

responding, sometimes staying silent.

Suddenly, they spot a Large two-storey house in the middle of

the forest. Everyone stops, staring at it in confusion and

amazement.

29.

SARAH:

(astonished)

Strange... this wasn’t here before!

ETHAN:

(curious)

Who builds a house like this in the

middle of the forest?

LINA:

(jokingly)

Maybe someone who enjoys sitting

alone, far from people.

Rami interrupts them with a serious tone, sensing something

unusual.

RAMI:

(calmly)

I feel something here... an evil

spirit. We should keep moving.

Derek immediately disagrees, pointing at the house.

DEREK:

(insistently)

No way! We’re staying here tonight.

It’s a house, at least it has a

roof.

Derek points towards the windows, where light is visible.

DEREK (CONT'D)

(smiling)

Look, they have electricity! Better

than staying outside in the dark.

Rami lights another cigarette calmly, looking at Derek

seriously.

RAMI:

(coldly)

If you want to die... go ahead. I’m

staying here.

Georgia, still overwhelmed with fear, stands beside Rami,

shaking her head quickly.

GEORGIA:

(fearfully)

I don’t want to die either. I’ll

stay with him.

Sarah laughs sarcastically, turning to Georgia.

30.

SARAH:

(mockingly)

Really? That easily? You’re afraid

of everything.

LINA:

(teasingly)

Leave her alone, maybe she’s found

her knight in shining armor.

Derek raises his eyebrows and approaches the door.

DEREK:

(smiling)

Let’s find out! This place might be

perfect for relaxing.

Rami remains standing away from the door, shaking his head.

RAMI:

(calmly)

Do what you want, but I warned you.

Ethan glances at Georgia, shrugging his shoulders.

ETHAN:

(laughing)

We’ll let you know what it’s like

inside... if we don’t die, of

course.

Sarah and Lina laugh as they follow Derek and Ethan towards

the door.

They open it and enter the house with excitement.

Rami stays in place with Georgia, who nervously looks around,

surrounded by an awkward silence.

Suddenly, Ramy decides to break it with a wide smile.

GEORGIA:

You can smile, i didn't know it.

RAMI:

(smiling)

Yeah, I'm not a psychopath.

(as playing with hair

gently)

I know you thought I was—a

heartless guy who plays with girls'

feelings, breaks their hearts, and

leaves them.

31.

GEORGIA:

(smiles shyly, trying to

hide that she thought the

same)

No, I never thought that.

stares at her intensely, leaning closer as if reading her

thoughts.

RAMI:

You know what? One of the perks of

being a so-called "psychopath" that

everyone fears is the ability to

detect liars just by their eyes.

RAMI (CONT'D)

(as putting his hand on

her shoulder.)

And your eyes right now? They’re

telling me you’re lying. Also, I

can see you have a pure heart. You

want to have your chance with guys,

but you're afraid to try because of

something that happened in your

past.

GEORGIA:

(shocked and surprised)

Okay, okay, I admit it.

(getting closer to him)

But how did you know that just by

looking into my eyes?

RAMI:

Yes, from your eyes.

GEORGIA:

Can you teach me how?

RAMI:

No, unfortunately.

pulls out a cigarette and tries to light it, but she quickly

snatches both the cigarette and lighter, then starts running

away playfully.

GEORGIA:

If you want them, come and get

them!

Rami smirks, then stands up and runs after her with

unexpected speed. He catches up to her, lifts her by her

legs, and raises her above his head playfully.

32.

looks into his eyes with mixed feelings, speaking hesitantly

GEORGIA (CONT'D)

I don't know... but I have this

urge to kiss you.

Rami’s face turns red with embarrassment.

RAMI:

This is wrong...

Georgia gets closer to his lips, speaking softly.

GEORGIA:

I told you, you know nothing about

love and relationships.

Rami tilts his head slightly, gently moves her hair aside,

and tilts her downward in a romantic way, whispering softly.

RAMI:

Let me show you how I was before I

became a “psychopath.”

GEORGIA:

So, what are you waiting for?

He leans in and kisses her passionately.

The kiss is full of romance and emotion, and Georgia gets

completely lost in the moment.

Suddenly, their friends—Sarah, Ethan, Lina, and Derek—arrive

and see them. They stand shocked, but they’re happy for them.

a few minutes later. Sarah, Ethan, Lina, and Derek stand

beside Georgia and Ramy, looking surprised but laughing

respectfully.

SARAH:

Oh, I never thought I’d see this

day. You two kissing out with

emotional !

ETHAN:

(laughs loudly)

Is this the same Ramy who used to

brag about not believing in love?

LINA:

Well, it seems like the

"psychopath" has finally found

someone to pull him out of his

shell.

33.

DEREK:

(clapping his hands with a

sly smile)

Is this what we’ve been waiting for

all this time? Rami, you really

took your time!

Rami and Georgia look at each other shyly, then laugh

together.

RAMI:

(warning friendly )

don't forget who you're talking to.

GEORGIA:

(joking)

Go f*** yourself, I'm a big girl.

Georgia gently holds Rami's hand and walks with him toward

the entrance.

Everyone stands behind them, watching silently, without

uttering a word, only staring and smiling.

GEORGIA (CONT'D)

(softly)

Come with me, Rami. Don't worry,

nothing will happen to you.

RAMI:

(nervously)

I don't want to go into that house.

I have a strange feeling.

GEORGIA:

(smiling)

Everything will be fine. Just trust

me.

The group quietly follows them, like a silent procession,

before they all enter the house.

INT. THE CABIN WOOD - THE HALLWAY LEADING INTO THE HOUSE -

NIGHT.

The hallway is softly lit by warm sconces hanging on the

walls, lined with a long rug in warm colors.

The walls are adorned with old pictures in golden frames.

The polished wooden floor creaks softly under their feet.

34.

Georgia holds Rami’s hand cautiously, sensing his hesitation

as they walk toward the kitchen.

The sound of clattering pans echoes faintly from afar.

The air is thick with the aroma of freshly cooked food, but

the place feels unfamiliar, unsettling.

GEORGIA:

(whispering)

Maybe we should check out the

kitchen. We might find someone.

RAMI:

(quietly)

We don’t know anyone here. How did

we even get in?

GEORGIA:

(with a faint smile)

We’ll find the answer in the

kitchen.

As they approach the kitchen, the door slowly creaks open,

revealing Marco, a man they’ve never met before, absorbed in

cooking.

INT. THE CABIN WOOD - THE KITCHEN - NIGHT.

The table is filled with an array of delicious food and

drinks.

Marco looks up at them, his smile enigmatic, as if he had

been expecting them.

MARCO:

(calmly)

Come in, dinner is ready.

Georgia and Rami exchange puzzled glances before quietly

sitting at the table.

The atmosphere is tense; they are strangers in this

unfamiliar setting.

Georgia is holding Rami's hand with love and tenderness,

looking at him as if she deeply cares for him.

Rami tries to pull his hand away, but she grips it even

tighter.

35.

GEORGIA:

(in a commanding tone)

So, when will our first official

date be?

RAMI:

(trying to avoid the

topic)

Maybe when I quit smoking.

Georgia stares at him with a threatening gaze, her eyes

gleaming.

GEORGIA:

In that case, crazy Rami will be

assassinated by a girl, and I’ll be

the one digging your grave and

burying you in it.

RAMI:

(trying to sound tough)

Do you think I’m scared of you? Or

anything that makes you act like

this?

Georgia laughs softly, but with a clear manipulative tone.

GEORGIA:

I know you’re not afraid of anyone.

But I heard a rumor that Rami

doesn’t hit women.

(Sly smile)

So I thought, why not take

advantage of that and get myself a

date?

RAMI:

(confused)

Why me? Why not Ethan or some other

guy? Believe me, I’m not the dating

type.

GEORGIA:

(gently touching his hand)

First of all, the guys I know

aren’t into relationships. They’re

just looking for a hot night and

then disappear.

(Wide smile)

As for Ethan, I can’t spend my life

with him; I’d lose my mind.

Rami chuckles softly, feeling a bit more at ease.

36.

RAMI:

Yeah, Ethan is a bit crazy.

GEORGIA:

And you know that better than

anyone, since you’re his friend.

RAMI:

(laughing lightly)

Yeah.

GEORGIA:

(persistently)

So, when’s the date?

RAMI:

I don’t know...

GEORGIA:

(seriously)

Alright, if you don’t leave me any

choice, I’ll beat Ethan up and

force him to spread a rumor that

crazy Rami fell in love with a

girl.

(Evil light laugh)

Your scary reputation will be

ruined.

Rami, now terrified, gives in.

RAMI:

Okay, okay, next week.

At that moment, Sarah, Derek, Lina, and Ethan walk into the

kitchen, their faces full of curiosity.

SARAH:

What’s happening next week?

GEORGIA:

(calmly and confidently)

Our first date.

The group looks shocked, stunned.

DEREK:

Rami? A date?!

LINA:

No way! The Rami I know doesn’t do

that kind of thing.

37.

ETHAN:

(laughing)

Wow, who would’ve thought scary

Rami turned into someone who goes

on dates?

Rami stands up angrily, glaring at Georgia.

RAMI:

(angrily)

I told you this was a mistake.

He turns to the group with a scowl before heading to the

door.

RAMI (CONT'D)

Excuse me, I have to go.

He quickly leaves, saying goodbye to everyone in a hurry.

GEORGIA:

(yelling at them as she

follows him)

If you ruin my chance, I’ll destroy

your lives, you idiots!

She runs after Rami, quickly catching up.

Marco carefully places the dishes on the table.

Everyone watches silently as he finishes preparing the food.

After a brief pause, he stops and looks at them with a

serious expression.

MARCO:

I hope you enjoy the meal.

(in a cryptic tone)

You have no idea what you have...

hold on to it before death takes

you.

Everyone’s eyes widen, stunned by his words, too shocked to

respond.

Marco starts to leave slowly, and just before exiting the

kitchen, he turns and says:

MARCO (CONT'D)

If you need anything, you’ll find

me in my room.

He leaves the kitchen, leaving the group in confusion.

38.

ETHAN:

(in disbelief)

What did he mean?

SARAH:

(disturbed)

What does ‘before death takes you’

even mean? Is he trying to scare

us?

DEREK:

(skeptical)

Maybe it was some kind of indirect

threat? But who is this guy anyway?

LINA:

(speaking hesitantly)

Do you think he knows something?

Something about this place... or

us?

ETHAN:

Whatever he meant, we need to be

careful. This guy’s not normal.

They exchange worried glances, the atmosphere in the kitchen

growing heavier.

INT.THE CABIN WOOD RAMI ROOM - NIGHT.

A simple, ordinary room with basic furniture.

In the corner, a desk holds a black backpack and an open

cigarette box.

RAMI stands on the balcony, his back to the camera, staring

into the dark forest.

The moon shines softly, illuminating the surroundings, while

the stars sparkle in the background, decorating the calm

night sky.

RAMI:

(To himself )

Easy, Rami, get it together, the

days or falling in love is over for

you.

INT. THE CABIN WOOD - MARCO BEDROOM - NIGHT.

In a dimly lit room, the air heavy with darkness, MARCO sits

relaxed in a shadowy corner.

39.

The only light comes from his glowing red eyes, piercing the

gloom.

MARCO:

(pensive, confident)

Kormag, your plan is going

smoothly.

KORMAG:

(nods, but hesitant)

Yes, it is... good work. But...

MARCO:

(leans forward, intrigued)

But what?

KORMAG:

(frustrated)

There is a soul in this house that

I cannot touch. It's protected.

MARCO:

(scoffing)

Protected? They're all scum. None

of them have set foot in a church

their whole lives. Everything they

do leads them straight to Hell.

(lets out a soft, mocking

laugh)

Especially that one... Rami. I did

my research—he's a ruthless killer.

The worst of them.

Kormag suddenly turns to MARCO, his expression serious.

KORMAG:

(serious)

He's the one I can't touch. His

soul is shielded by his Lord, and

angels walk with him. As long as

they're by his side, I can't get

near him.

MARCO:

(chuckling, disbelieving)

Angels? With a killer like him?

That’s rich.

KORMAG:

(grim, thoughtful)

The beauty of his faith is that his

Lord forgives all sins and misdeeds

as long as he continues to believe.

(MORE)

40.

KORMAG (CONT'D)

As long as that belief remains

strong, I can’t come close to him.

MARCO:

(smirking)

So what now?

KORMAG:

I need you to drive those angels

away.

MARCO:

(incredulous, raising an

eyebrow)

Drive them away? You’re serious?

KORMAG:

(voice low, scheming)

Make him fall into one of the great

sins of his faith.

Give him alcohol, or have a woman

seduce him. If he falls, the angels

will abandon him, and I might be

able to claim his soul. If not for

long, at least I can banish it from

this realm or imprison it in the

Vault of Souls... because if he

stays protected, he will be a

problem.

MARCO:

(considering, slowly nods)

Alright, I’ll see what I can do.

INT. THE CABIN WOOD - OUTSIDE MARCO BEDROOM - NIGHT.

A dark hallway inside the mansion.

Rami is hiding behind a door, eavesdropping on a conversation

between Marco and kormag.

He listens quietly, his eyes widening in shock as he uncovers

something important.

RAMI:

(speaking to himself in a

low voice)

Oh, now I understand… why I didn’t

die in so many situations. But I’ll

show you my true self, you bastard.

Suddenly, Georgia appears behind him, placing her hand on his

shoulder, causing him to flinch slightly.

41.

GEORGIA:

There you are, babe.

RAMI:

(whispers angrily)

F***, you scared me!

GEORGIA:

Why are you cursing? You never did

that before.

RAMI:

Because I’ve discovered something

serious.

GEORGIA:

(smiling playfully)

Did you discover that you’ve fallen

in love with me because I’m short?

She hugs him and lays her head on his chest.

Rami sighs, gently running his hand through her hair.

RAMI:

(whispering with

frustration)

I don’t have time for your jokes

right now.

GEORGIA:

Why are you whispering?

RAMI:

(even more frustrated)

Oh God...

INT. THE CABIN WOOD - THE HALLWAY - SECOND FLOOR - NIGHT.

He walks towards his room, dragging Georgia along, who is

still hugging him, walking beside him cheerfully.

GEORGIA:

Where are we going?

RAMI:

To our room.

GEORGIA:

(excitedly, without

letting go)

Are we going to do it?

42.

RAMI:

From what I’ve discovered, it would

be stupid to do it now.

He opens the door and enters the room.

Suddenly, he lifts Georgia and gently throws her onto the

bed, but she refuses to let go and pulls him down with her.

RAMI (CONT'D)

(with a strong voice,

trying to get up)

Let go of me, you have no idea

what’s happening.

GEORGIA:

I don’t know, and I don’t care.

RAMI:

(clearly annoyed)

You’re really annoying!

GEORGIA:

(smirking, trying to push

his buttons)

Thank you so much, I didn’t know

you were romantic.

At that moment, Ethan suddenly enters the room.

He stands in shock before bursting into laughter.

ETHAN:

Rami, are you… here?

laughs even harder after seeing Rami on top of Georgia.

ETHAN (CONT'D)

Since when did you start having

sex?

RAMI:

I’m not having sex, I’m stuck!

GEORGIA:

No, he’s going to do it!

RAMI:

(pleading)

Please, brother, save me.

Ethan approaches to help, but suddenly, Georgia kicks him in

the groin, making him cry out in pain.

43.

ETHAN:

Damn, that hurts so much!

GEORGIA:

(calmly)

Leave before I smash your face.

Ethan stumbles out, walking awkwardly from the pain.

Georgia smirks mischievously, then adjusts her position on

the bed, places her head on the pillow, and pulls Rami closer

until his hand rests on her chest.

Rami hesitates, lifting his head to find her already fast

asleep.

He speaks to himself, feeling embarrassed.

RAMI:

Damn, now I have to wait until she

wakes up.

He places his head on her chest and closes his eyes, deciding

to sleep.

After a few minutes, the door opens suddenly.

Marco stands at the entrance, looking at Rami lying on top of

Georgia.

He assumes they’re having sex, and a wicked smile appears on

his face.

MARCO:

(speaking to himself, with

an evil smile)

Say goodbye to your soul… I have to

tell kormag.

He quietly closes the door and leaves, as the camera pans to

Rami and Georgia sleeping peacefully on the bed.

INT. THE CABIN WOOD - DEREK AND LINA BEDROOM - NIGHT.

Lina and Derek’s room. The room is simple, very similar to

Rami’s room in terms of furniture and layout, suggesting a

uniform interior design throughout the house.

The camera moves closer to the bed, where Derek and Lina are

in the middle of their sexual encounter.

44.

Lina moves with a wild intensity, as if she’s reached the

peak of her desire, breathing heavily as she whispers words

charged with lust.

The camera moves away from the bed, with the sound of their

heavy breathing and the friction of their bodies still

audible.

We enter the bathroom connected to the room.

INT. THE CABIN WOOD - DEREK AND LINA BEDROOM - BATHROOM -

NIGHT.

The bathroom is spacious and dimly lit.

The walls are covered in glossy white tiles, and the glass

sink is clean and clutter-free.

A large mirror dominates the wall above the sink, reflecting

part of the main room.

There’s a glass shower in the corner, fitted with colored

lights that enhance the intimate atmosphere.

The bathroom floor is covered with a soft gray rug, adding a

sense of comfort and warmth to the space.

While in the bathroom, the sounds of Lina and Derek from the

main room are still audible.

Their voices are filled with engagement and intensity.

LINA:

Is that all you can do? You’re

pathetic.

DEREK:

You’re playing with fire. I’ll show

you my true abilities...

LINA:

(in a defiant, lustful

tone)

Stop talking… show me what you’ve

got.

INT. THE CABIN WOOD - DEREK AND LINA BEDROOM - CONTINUOUS.

The bed is messy, with the covers wrapped loosely around

Lina’s body.

45.

Derek lies beside her, breathing slowly, then gently leans in

to kiss her softly on the lips.

DEREK:

(whispering softly)

I’m going to shower now. I love

you.

Lina smiles warmly, lifting her head slightly to give Derek a

short kiss.

LINA:

I love you too. When you’re done,

it’ll be my turn.

Derek gets up slowly, wearing only black underwear.

He walks confidently towards the bathroom before Lina calls

out to him softly, covering herself with the blanket

instinctively, trying to hide her figure.

LINA (CONT'D)

Can you turn off the light?

Derek pauses at the bathroom door, turns towards the light

switch, and turns it off.

A soft darkness fills the room.

Lina adjusts her position slowly, leaning against the edge of

the bed, her eyes following Derek’s steps as he heads into

the bathroom in the dim light.

The sound of running water is heard from the bathroom, while

Lina continues to stare silently into the darkness.

INT. THE CABIN WOOD - DEREK AND LINA BEDROOM - BATHROOM -

CONTINUOUS.

Derek steps out of the glass shower, wearing nothing but a

towel wrapped around his waist, fully covering his genitalia

and backside.

He walks calmly toward the mirror, which is partially fogged

up from the steam.

He stands in front of the mirror, picks up a toothbrush, and

begins brushing his teeth with slow, rhythmic movements,

staring at his reflection.

Derek looks into the mirror, speaking to himself softly, his

voice low and tired.

46.

DEREK:

(whispering)

Time to sleep.

He finishes brushing, spits into the sink, and slowly raises

his head towards the mirror.

Suddenly, he sees the reflection of a dark figure behind him.

Its features are obscured, only glowing red eyes pierce

through the fog.

It’s kormag. Derek’s face tightens in shock.

Out of nowhere, a black, hairy hand emerges from the mirror,

pushing through the fog and piercing Derek’s chest.

Derek’s eyes widen as he gasps in shock, trying to step back,

but the dark figure grips him from within.

The black hand slowly pulls a shimmering, translucent shape

out of his body—his soul.

Derek’s body shakes, but he doesn’t fall, as if caught

between life and death.

Then, kormag’s other hand appears, pulling Derek’s entire

body toward the mirror.

His body sticks to the surface like paper, slowly being drawn

into the mirror.

Derek’s body remains suspended there, his face frozen in an

expression of horror.

His eyes gradually dim as his body is trapped inside the

mirror forever.

Kormag, holding Derek’s soul, disappears into the darkness,

leaving behind an eerie silence in the bathroom.

INT. THE CABIN WOOD - DEREK AND LINA BEDROOM - CONTINUOUS.

The room is dark and unnaturally quiet, a sudden chill

filling the air.

Lina remains seated on the bed, wrapped in the blanket,

staring at the door anxiously.

Tension is visible on her face, her eyes darting around the

room as if sensing something.

47.

LINA:

(her voice hesitant,

tinged with anxiety)

Derek… are you done?

Before she finishes her sentence, a shiver runs down her

spine.

Slowly, she raises her head towards the ceiling, her eyes

widening in terror.

Kormag hangs there, surrounded by his usual dense fog, his

deadly red eyes glowing in the darkness.

Lina feels paralyzed, unable to move, unable to scream. Her

hands tremble, but her body refuses to respond.

All she can do is stare at kormag, watching in horror as his

sinister presence inches closer.

Suddenly, she feels a pull, her soul being slowly drawn out

of her body.

The blanket slips off her, revealing her bare skin as she’s

lifted into the air, suspended helplessly.

Kormag grasps her soul between his dark fingers, his

malicious gaze following her empty body as it slowly falls

back onto the bed.

Out of nowhere, a blank canvas appears on the wall above the

bed.

With a swift motion, kormag lifts Lina’s body, shoving it

into the canvas.

Her body disappears into the painting, leaving behind a muted

scream.

Lina sits inside the canvas, naked, trapped, her gaze filled

with despair and horror.

Her mouth is open as if she’s screaming, but no sound

escapes.

Kormag stares at her for a few moments, then slowly

disappears in a magical manner, whispering to himself.

KORMAG:

(in a cold, satisfied

tone)

Two down… four to go.

48.

INT.THE CABIN WOOD - RAMI ROOM - CONTINUOUS.

Rami is sleeping next to Georgia, both deeply asleep.

Suddenly, a look of terror appears on Rami's face.

He opens his eyes suddenly, breathing rapidly, his body

covered in sweat.

He sits up quickly, as if he just woke up from a nightmare.

Rami looks around with a worried expression, then glances at

Georgia, who is still peacefully sleeping beside him.

He carefully tries to free himself from her grasp without

waking her up, then sneaks out of bed.

He quickly moves towards his bag on the table, opens it with

trembling hands, and starts searching inside it with evident

anxiety.

At that moment, Ethan and Sarah enter the room, looking

curiously at Rami, then turn their gaze to Georgia, who is

still asleep on the bed.

SARAH:

(Smirking mischievously)

So, did you two finally do it?

ETHAN:

(Winking and smiling

mockingly)

Maybe.

Rami looks at them with a stern face, his eyes full of

anxiety and tension.

RAMI:

No... the situation is much worse

than you think, Do I look like I'm

in the mood for jokes?

Stops laughing and looks at him seriously

SARAH:

Worse? What do you mean? What’s

going on?

Rami takes a deep breath, then pulls a chair beside the

table, sits down, and rests his head in his hands for a few

seconds before looking up and speaking.)

49.

RAMI:

Kormag... It's not just a

nightmare. He’s back.

Ethan and Sarah look at him silently, as if unsure of what

they’re hearing.

They exchange glances, then look back at Rami.

ETHAN:

(In a sarcastic voice)

Kormag? Really, that’s what this is

all about? Have you started

believing in ghosts now?

SARAH:

(Laughs lightly)

Maybe you’ve watched one too many

horror movies, Rami.

Rami slams his fist on the table, his voice rising sharply,

causing Ethan and Sarah to stop laughing.

RAMI:

Stop joking around! Kormag is not a

fantasy story. He’s real. He

escaped from the Shadow Realm, and

he’s looking for souls to build his

kingdom.

(Looking at Georgia)

He takes bodies and steals souls,

leaving his victims’ bodies trapped

between worlds. No one can escape

him.

Sarah swallows hard, looking at Ethan with a worried

expression, but Ethan maintains his calm tone.

ETHAN:

And what will he do with these

souls? Why doesn’t he just stay

there, in his shadowy world?

RAMI:

Because he’s no longer content with

what he has. His kingdom is

crumbling, and he needs more souls

to strengthen it.

(Tone of anxiety)

Kormag isn’t just any ordinary

creature. He steals souls to build

a dark world filled with pain and

screams.

(MORE)

50.

RAMI (CONT'D)

He reshapes his victims there,

turning them into creatures that

serve him.

Sarah looks at Rami, confused, trying to process what he’s

saying, then slowly shakes her head.

SARAH:

Rami, how do you know all of this?

And why do you think this thing is

targeting us now?

Rami takes a deep breath, then pulls out a large, ancient looking book from his bag, its pages yellowed by time.

The title on the cover reads: "The Hidden Things" in bold

letters.

He places it on the table, opens it slowly, and starts

flipping through the pages until he reaches a chapter titled

"The Ancient Creatures.

He focuses on one of the pages with a distorted drawing of

Kormag, surrounded by fog, his glowing red eyes prominent in

the illustration.

RAMI:

Kormag never reveals his true form.

What you see is just fog and red

eyes. He’s a master of deception.

He never works alone; he uses a

puppet, a weaker creature that

accompanies him, carries out his

orders, and does the dirty work.

(Looking at them)

This puppet infiltrates souls,

takes control, and drains them

until they become Kormag’s own.

Ethan looks at the drawing with widened eyes, and Sarah

covers her mouth, trying to keep herself composed.

ETHAN:

So… does that mean Derek and Lina…

because I couldn't find them even

in their room?

RAMI:

They might already be his victims.

All we have to do now is find him

before he takes full control of

them. Kormag leaves a trace, and we

need to track him down. Otherwise…

we’ll lose them forever.

51.

Sarah looks at Rami seriously, while Ethan takes a step back,

as if the truth is starting to weigh on him.

SARAH:

What do you suggest? How do we find

him?

Rami flips through the pages again, showing complex

illustrations of symbols and rituals.

He points to one of them.

RAMI:

This symbol… it’s the key. If we

can draw it in the place where the

attacks occurred, we can open a

small portal that reveals his

trace.

(Lighting a cigarette)

But we have to be careful, as these

rituals attract his attention. If

we’re not prepared, he’ll prey on

us too.

Ethan nods, looking at Sarah, who seems hesitant, then turns

his gaze back to Rami.

ETHAN:

Okay, let’s try. Because if we

don’t, it seems our fate will be

like Derek and Lina’s.

Rami looks at Ethan, a small smile forming on his lips.

RAMI:

Good, because we’re going to need

all the help we can get. Now, let’s

move before Kormag makes his next

move.

INT. THE CABIN WOOD - MARCO BEDROOM - NIGHT.

Marco paces around the room, his steps slow and deliberate,

while the dark presence of kormag lingers, hidden in the

shadows.

MARCO:

(smirking)

That spiritual fool has fallen. I

found him... right in the middle of

it, in bed.

52.

KORMAG:

(low, pleased)

Well done, Marco. Now, we move to

the next step.

MARCO:

(bowing slightly,

respectful)

At your command, my lord. What must

be done?

KORMAG:

(cold, with authority)

Turn off the light... and leave the

rest to me.

MARCO:

(surprised, but curious)

As you wish, my lord. Will anything

happen to me in the dark?

KORMAG:

(speaking from the

shadows)

As long as I'm here, no creature of

darkness will dare come near you.

Marco smiles, reassured, and with swift movements, he exits

the room, rushing toward the basement.

INT. THE CABIN WOOD - RAMI ROOM - NIGHT.

Rami pulls out four flashlights from his bag, handing one to

Ethan and one to Sarah, keeping two for himself.

ETHAN:

(confused)

What are we supposed to do with

these?

SARAH:

(sarcastic)

What, am I supposed to beat him to

death with it?

RAMI:

(serious)

No, they're to give us a fighting

chance. The first thing he'll do is

cut the lights, so we need to keep

him away from us.

53.

ETHAN:

(uneasy)

What about Marco?

RAMI:

(firm)

I'll handle him.

Sarah glances toward Georgia, still asleep.

SARAH:

(teasing)

What about your girlfriend? Should

we wake her up, or just leave her

to sleep?

RAMI:

(grim)

If we leave her, she'll die.

(turns to Ethan)

Wake her up, gently.

As Ethan approaches Georgia to wake her, the power suddenly

cuts out, plunging the room into complete darkness.

ETHAN:

(whispering, gently waking

her)

Sleeping Beauty, time to wake up.

Georgia wakes up with a start, looking confused.

GEORGIA:

(frightened)

I’m not pregnant!

Everyone chuckles quietly, except for Rami, who’s focused,

holding his bag with a cigarette in his hand.

He moves over to Georgia, hands her a flashlight, and helps

her to her feet.

RAMI:

(calmly)

Take this, Georgia. Stick with me,

I’ll explain everything on the way.

INT. THE CABIN WOOD - THE HALLWAY - THE SECOND FLOOR - NIGHT.

The group exits the room, staying close to each other as they

cautiously walk down the hallway.

54.

Their flashlights barely cut through the darkness, creating

small circles of light as they move together, trying to keep

kormag at bay.

SARAH:

(whispering, concerned)

What’s his next move, Rami?

RAMI:

(serious)

He'll try to drive us into a

corner. He can control the

darkness, but we can use the light

to keep him off for now.

ETHAN:

(worried)

And Marco? What's he going to do?

RAMI:

(grim)

Marco’s his puppet... whatever

kormag commands, he’ll do. That’s

why we need to stay ahead of him.

The group moves quietly through the hallway, flashlights

shaking slightly as their tension rises.

The air grows colder as they approach the front of the house,

their breaths becoming shallow.

The atmosphere is charged with tension as KORMAG confronts

RAMI, who is scanning the shadows with a flashlight.

KORMAG (O.S.)

(tauntingly)

Do you think you can defeat me in

my game, in my world?

While searching, RAMI responds with determination.

RAMI:

Yes, I know every move you make.

I’ll send you back to your world

just like my ancestors did with

your brother bololo and the

BOOGEYMAN.

KORMAG (O.S.)

(smirking)

Do you think I’ve forgotten that?

Once I finish with you, I will move

on to the kingdom of Algeria.

55.

He grins wickedly.

RAMI:

(smirking)

You fool! That kingdom fell with

the Ottoman Empire; it’s a republic

now.

Everyone listens in silence, the tension palpable.

KORMAG(O.S.)

Forgive me if I’m not up-to-date,

but I promise you this: I will turn

it to ruin just as your ancestors

turned my kingdom to dust!

His voice grows angrier.

KORMAG (O.S.) (CONT'D)

Your god granted you spiritual

powers and a spiritual book you

call the Quran to aid you in life

and bring you closer to Him. And

what did you do? You destroyed my

kingdom with it!

RAMI:

Your brother wanted to invade my

country!

KORMAG (O.S.)

(cutting him off)

Stop lying! There are verses in the

Quran that can expel me without

needing the whole book.

He laughs, looking at MARCO.

KORMAG (O.S.) (CONT'D)

Do it, Marco!

Suddenly, MARCO sneaks up from behind and stabs RAMI.

RAMI gasps, clutching his wound.

RAMI:

(pained)

If I fall, I’ll take you with me,

you filthy rat!

In an instant, KORMAG drops from the ceiling, attempting to

attack RAMI, but finds a shield protecting him.

56.

No matter how hard he tries, he can’t penetrate it, so he

disappears.

KORMAG (O.S.)

(voice echoing)

Marco, you said he did it!

MARCO:

I thought so. I found him above

her!

Despite the pain, RAMI laughs.

RAMI:

I heard you! That why I refuse to

have sex with her.

He turns to his friends.

RAMI (CONT'D)

Grab my bag and hide in the

kitchen! Take the Holy Quran and

place your hands on it in threes;

he won’t be able to get near you.

He struggles to stand, determined to face his enemy.

RAMI (CONT'D)

And I’ll deal with his puppet.

GEORGIA and her friends rush to the kitchen.

They retrieve the Quran and touch it.

A white shield forms around them as KORMAG attempts to

approach but fails, trying multiple times before surrendering

and disappearing.

In the kitchen, GEORGIA and her friends hold the Quran,

watching RAMI stand firm as he prepares to confront MARCO

without interference.

INT.THE CABIN WOODS - HALLWAY NEAR THE KITCHEN - NIGHT

Rami stands with difficulty, clutching his hand at the site

of his injury.

His face is etched with pain, but he tries to remain standing

bravely.

His breathing is uneven as he looks with determined eyes at

Marco, who stands before him, smirking.

57.

Marco begins to attack, exploiting Rami's injury to push him

forcefully against the wall.

Rami staggers back but trips and falls to his knees.

Marco slowly steps towards him and lands a strong punch to

his face, knocking Rami down to the floor, helpless. rami

turns his gaze to his friends, who are standing a few steps

away, shocked.

RAMI:

(In a sharp voice,

pointing at them)

Don’t interfere. This is between

him and me.

Suddenly, Kormag appears at the end of the hallway,

surrounded by a dark gray aura of mist.

He raises his hand, and from the mist, a bright, curved white

sword emerges, flying directly into Marco’s hand.

KORMAG:

(With a deep, eerie voice)

Kill him with this sword, Marco.

(evil laugh)

Only with this can I trap his soul

in the Spirit Vault.

Rami looks at the sword, then closes his eyes for a moment,

smiling faintly as if mocking his own predicament.

RAMI:

It’s been an honor meeting you,

but... I wish it had been under

better circumstances.

He takes a deep breath, looking seriously at his friends.

RAMI (CONT'D)

Once it’s over... run straight to

the exit. Don’t stop, and don’t

look back.

Marco raises the sword high, walking slowly towards Rami, who

is lying on the ground, while his friends look on in fear and

hesitation.

Suddenly, Ethan closes his eyes, and memories from the past

begin to appear.

Flashback

58.

EXT. THE SCHOOLYARD - HIGH SCHOOL - DAY.

A young, scrawny Ethan is cornered by a group of bullies in

the schoolyard.

One of the bullies approaches him to land a punch, but Rami

jumps in from behind, shoving the bully away and standing

between him and Ethan.

BULLY:

(Angrily)

What do you want, you fool?

THE YOUNG RAMI:

(Boldly)

If you want a fight, pick on

someone your own size.

The bully hesitates, but Rami doesn’t back down, stepping

forward with an angry expression.

The bully takes a step back, then leaves with his group.

THE YOUNG ETHAN:

(Softly, looking at Rami)

Why did you do that?

THE YOUNG RAMI:

(Puts his hand on Ethan’s

shoulder and smiles)

Because friends stick together. No

one hurts you as long as I’m here.

Another Flashback

EXT. A NARROW ALLEY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD - NIGHT.

A narrow alley in the neighborhood. A group of older boys

surround Ethan, pushing and laughing at him.

Suddenly, Rami appears, running towards them. He grabs one by

the shirt and throws him to the ground, then raises his fist,

threatening the others.)

RAMI:

(In a sharp voice)

If you don’t back off my friend

now, I’ll break your hands!

The boys look at each other in confusion, then quickly back

away, leaving Ethan alone, looking at Rami with gratitude.)

59.

ETHAN:

(In a shaky voice)

But you were alone... Why did you

face them?

RAMI:

(Smiles confidently)

Because I’ll always stand by you,

no matter the cost. That’s what

friends do.

INT. THE CABIN WOOD - THE KITCHEN - NIGHT.

Ethan opens his eyes, his gaze sharp and his resolve he opens

rami's bag with one hand, while keeping his other hand on the

Quran he’s holding.

He glances carefully to avoid drawing Sarah and Georgia’s

attention as they stand beside him.

He continues to search the bag until he finds a serrated

military knife.

He pulls it out quietly, then looks up at Sarah, his eyes

burning with passion.

He steps closer to her and gives her a long, deep kiss filled

with emotion.

ETHAN:

(Softly, but with a firm

tone)

I love you. I’ve always found you

attractive.

Suddenly, Ethan dashes toward Marco, kormag attempting to

break the protective shield around Georgia and Sarah .

But before he can reach them, Ethan leaps at Marco, stabbing

him repeatedly in the heart, his eyes blazing with fury.

ETHAN (CONT'D)

(Shouting with anger,

stabbing Marco once more)

Rami, you always defended me… you

fought for me… and now, it’s time

for me to repay you.

Rami, shocked and horrified, shouts while lying on the

ground.

RAMI:

You fool, what have you done?!

60.

Marco coughs up blood, his gaze weak as he looks at Ethan.

He reaches out and touches Ethan’s hand with difficulty,

speaking in a broken voice.

MARCO:

Thank you... You’ve freed me.

With these final words, Marco collapses, dead.

Kormag, looks utterly stunned.

He suddenly vanishes into a thick cloud of mist.

Ethan kneels down to help Rami up, wrapping his arm around

his friend’s shoulder, embracing him gently.

But Rami surprises Ethan with a light slap on his cheek.

Georgia and Sarah rush over to them.

GEORGIA:

(Worriedly)

What’s wrong with you, Rami?

SARAH:

He just saved you!

Rami looks at Ethan with affection, then kisses his head and

holds his face with his hands.

RAMI:

You’re the brother I never had. And

now… I’ve lost my brother… forever.

SARAH:

(Confused)

What are you talking about, Rami?

ETHAN:

You haven’t lost me.

RAMI:

(Brokenly)

Do you remember when I told you

that kormag never works alone?

ETHAN:

Yeah, you said he uses a human

puppet.

RAMI:

Well… now that you’ve killed his

puppet...

61.

Georgia interrupts Rami, her eyes widening in shock.

GEORGIA:

Oh my God... You’ve become his

puppet now.

RAMI:

(Nods sadly)

Unfortunately… yes.

Rami pulls Ethan into a tight embrace.

RAMI (CONT'D)

I was able to kill him with one

move, but i chose to sacrifice

myself to give you a chance to

escape.

Suddenly, kormag appears in the hallway, surrounded by his

eerie mist.

He steps forward, moving steadily toward Ethan, ignoring

everyone else as he focuses solely on him.

KORMAG:

(In a deep, calm voice)

You’ve been chosen for a great

purpose… a reward beyond your

imagination.

Rami looks at his friends and speaks quickly.

RAMI:

He saved us now, but this will

happen again and again. Each time

his puppet dies, kormag loses his

memory… and starts over.

Ethan hugs Rami and Georgia tightly, while Sarah kisses him

passionately.

SARAH:

(Breathing heavily with

emotion)

You idiot, why didn’t you tell me

before?

ETHAN:

(Smirking)

Because my good looks don’t allow

me to date someone like you.

Everyone bursts into laughter. Ethan turns around and faces

kormag.

62.

ETHAN (CONT'D)

I ACCEPT.

Ethan walks towards the upper floor, and kormag silently

follows beside him.

Meanwhile, Rami leans on Sarah and Georgia as they slowly

walk toward the front door of the house.

EXT. THE EDGE SAINT ANBA'S WOODS - MORNING.

Sarah and Georgia are struggling to help Rami into the car.

His face is pale, and he’s in visible pain from his injury,

but he tries to hold himself together.

Georgia gets into the front passenger seat beside Sarah, who

starts the engine and begins driving slowly out of the

forest.

The car moves at a steady pace as a moment of silence

settles.

GEORGIA:

(Looking at Rami in the

backseat with a soft,

loving voice)

Is our date still on for next week?

RAMI:

(Smiling weakly)

Yes, of course.

SARAH:

(Interrupting playfully)

Can I come too?

GEORGIA:

(Shaking her head, her

tone light and teasing)

No, it’s a romantic date, not a

friends’ dinner!

RAMI:

(With difficulty)

Let her come, She’s not a stranger

to us.

SARAH:

(Happily)

Thank you so much, Rami!

63.

Sarah glances at Rami through the rear-view mirror, her

expression sincere but with a hint of teasing.

SARAH (CONT'D)

In case things don’t go well

between you two, Rami… I’m here.

Georgia laughs and playfully taps Sarah on the shoulder.

GEORGIA:

(Teasingly)

Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of

this relationship.

Rami takes a deep breath, looking around.

RAMI:

Damn, I forgot my stuff at the

house.

Sarah takes out a pack of cigarettes from her pocket and

tosses it towards him in the backseat.

SARAH:

Here. I took it from your room.

(Rami smiles and takes a cigarette out, lighting it with some

difficulty.

He takes a deep drag, exhaling slowly.

Looking out the window at the trees passing by, speaking

softly as if saying goodbye.

RAMI:

See you soon, my friend.

INT. THE CABIN WOOD - ETHAN BEDROOM - MORNING.

The room is dimly lit, with a faint glow coming from the many

electronic devices scattered around.

The furniture has completely changed; the bed is now large

and spacious, and video games and laptops are strewn about

everywhere.

Ethan sits in a comfortable chair in front of a desk with a

laptop on it, looking at Rami’s belongings placed on the

shelf beside him.

He touches one of the items, whispering to himself.

64.

ETHAN:

(Speaking quietly as if

talking to Rami)

Maybe I’ll visit you soon… and

return your stuff.

He smiles softly, glancing at rami's old book.

ETHAN (CONT'D)

And tell you… that bololo has been

freed from his prison realm.

Ethan leaves the old book on the desk as the camera starts to

slowly pull back, moving out of the room.

We see the room from a distance, then gradually exit through

the door, leaving Ethan alone amidst the soft glow of his

devices, until the room becomes just a point in the darkness

of the house.

FADE OUT.
