Script for 'The Woods'

The main protagonist character will be walking through the woods on her own, which would create a little enigma on where she has been. The establishing would be of the girl's back, which then she begins to walk away, blurring the shot as she does so. Although there will be no word spoken through most of it there will be sound effects like twigs breaking and bushes shaking on top of some tension building music. Suddenly she would hear a snap of a twig, which makes the protagonist say 'Hello?'. No responds. She begins to a walk fast, drastically darting her eyes from place to place; this will create tension in the audience and creates an enigma as they will want to know who is there. As she is not concentrating on where she is going she stumbles and cuts her hand, deeply. She grasps hand and gasps. There's a noise, not from a twig snapping, but a screech. She pulls herself up and begins running, as her bloody hand drips blood as a trail. 

When she arrives home she slowly walks to the door, as it is slightly open. She opens the door slowly and says 'Hello?' Again there is no response. She enters and take her shoes and coat off keeping eye contact with the top of the stairs as she just realises that the upstairs bathroom light is on. She slowly ascends the stairs and pushes open the door, but there is no one in the room. She closes the door behind her and begins washing the cut on her hand. 
Suddenly, there is a bang outside her bathroom door. She cautiously opens it only looking out with one eye. There was nothing there. She slams the door and locks it quickly, reassuring herself it was nothing. She turns back to the skin and washes her face, thinking she is just tired and needs more sleep. When she lifts her head up again, the antagonist is standing behind her. She screams as the title transition quickly on stage, with the girl's scream echoing in the background
