WILL:

crosses to Keri, hugs her tight...

WILL:

Keri, you all right?

KERI:

We've got to get these kids out of

here...

WILL:

I'll make sure there's no kids

left in the dorms...

WILL:

dashes toward the dorms...

KERI:

climbs aboard the bus, stands next to the driver... waits

impatiently for Will to return.

EXT. HILLCREST ACADEMY

The BUSES are on the move... leaving the academy single

file...

ON JOHN:

Watching from inside his bus as it prepares to leave...

ON KERI:

Waves to John through the window, knows this may be the last

time she ever sees him.

She turns to the driver --

KERI:

You go ahead. Will and I will

follow you in my car.

The DRIVER nods in agreement...

JOHN'S POV

Keri gets off the bus, watches as the last bus drives through

the open gates of the academy...

Keri crosses to the dorms, disappears inside --

INT. DORMS

Keri moves noiselessly down the hallway... searching for any

sign of Will... holding her breath with every door she checks

behind...

KERI:

(a loud whisper)

Will... Will, where are you?

Keri rounds a corner, spots --

SMOKE:

seeping through the cracks of a swinging door leading to the

dorm's kitchenette.

KERI:

crosses to the swinging door, slowly pushes it open to

reveal --

WILL:

his whole upper torso shoved into the oven, clothes ablaze.

KERI:

runs into the kitchen, yanks Will out of the oven by his legs.

ON WILL. Hair singed-off his head, his face a mangled mass

of burning flesh, mouth agape in horror...

KERI:

Oh, God, Will...

Keri kneels down beside him, helpless... filled with rage...

SWOOSH!

The kitchen door swings violently to and fro... Keri spins

around, startled by --

LURCH:

The dog jumps on her chest, licks her face gleefully.

KERI:

Get off me...

The dog's mood changes suddenly: he stops licking Keri and

GROWLS ferociously at something behind her...

Keri slowly turns around to see --

THE SHAPE:

standing above her, comes down on her with a knife... makes

contact, slices her shoulder wide open.

KERI:

scrambles to her feet, grabs a pot off the stove... swings at

the SHAPE.

CLANG!

Delivers a hard blow to the SHAPE'S head with the iron pot.

The SHAPE stumbles backward, Keri sprints out the door...

EXT. DORMS

Keri comes running from the building, dashes across campus

and into --

INT. HOUSE

Keri bursts through the door, runs down the hallway into --

INT. BEDROOM

CLOSE ON:
DETECTIVE BLAKE

Her body sprawled across Keri's bed, THROAT SLIT from ear-to-

ear... a TOMBSTONE in lieu of a headboard, "LAURIE STRODE"

carved into stone.

KERI:

You son of a b*tch!

The fury wells inside of her. Keri crosses to the bed, drops

to her knees... pulls out the metal box underneath the

mattress... opens it... IT'S EMPTY!

KERI:

(continuing)

Sh*t!

CUT TO:

EXT. HILLCREST ACADEMY

Keri runs from the house, determined... makes her way across

campus to --

INT. GUARD HOUSE

Keri crosses to the console, pushes the BUTTON that controls

the gate... it begins to close slowly.

CRASH!

Hattie's body falls from the drop-ceiling above, lands right

on top of Keri. Sh*t. Keri throws the bloody corpse off of

her.

She looks around the room... zeroes in on the large CB

RADIO... she picks it up and SMASHES it against the

console... over and over again... sparks fly... the gate now

permanently closed.

Keri reaches down, pulls Hattie's key ring from her body...

moves outside.

EXT. GATES

Keri moves to the gate... locks it using Hattie's keys, then

tosses them over the gate into the brush.

KERI:

(calling off)

Time to put an end to this

nightmare, motherf***er!

Keri heads back toward the school.

CUT TO:

EXT. ROADBLOCK - SAME TIME

Deputy Clark lies on the hood of his patrol car, hat over his

face... catching some z's. Carter stands by the wooden

barriers, spots --

THE LINE OF BUSES

speeding toward the roadblock, headed for the small town

below...

CARTER:

What the hell?

Deputy Clark is awakened by the approaching caravan. Carter

waves down a bus, moves to the door --

CARTER:

(continuing)

What's happening?

DRIVER:

We're evacuating the school. Been

two murders up there tonight.

Killer's still on the loose...
