(To Callum) you know the one that was in our math’s class last year
Laura: We don't care who's...
All the lampposts go out and they’re in the dark
Tammy:(scared) what just happened?
Keith: It’s just a power cut
A bright light came from the old graveyard up the hill.
Sarah: Yeah, well what’s that!
Tammy:I'm scared!
Keith: It’s just a light it can't do any thing to us!
Sarah; yeah, but what's making the light?
Tammy: Let’s go home! I'm scared!
Callum: Yeah, I agree let's go
Keith turns to Callum and can't believe his ears
Keith: What!
Callum: HELLO, it’s Halloween
Keith: and?
Callum: It’ll be some drunks who’ll be carrying on. They’ll come this way soon.
Keith: You’re just chicken (walks around Callum clucking)
Callum: No I’m not!!
Keith: prove it then!
Callum: how?
Keith: Walk up there. By yourself
Sarah: shut up Keith, he doesn’t need to do it if he doesn’t want to.
Callum: it’s all right I’ll do it
Callum starts to walk away
Tammy: don’t go!
Sophie: Tammy fancies Callum!
Tammy: No I don’t!
Laura mimes to Sarah and Sophie she does
They can no longer she Callum
They hear a scream coming from where the light is
Keith: come on we need to go see what happened
They run along the road
When they get to the light it’s gone but they see Callum lying on the ground
Tammy: I told him he shouldn't’t have came by himself
Sarah looks into the trees
Keith: what are you looking at?
A hooded figure comes out of the trees
