Chapter 4 - The Forbidden Forest
----------------------------------------------------------
Scene 1 - Restless Night
Su jin lies awake, staring at the cracks in the ceiling. Her hands tremble as she remembers the shadow whispering her name. She picks up her phone, Messages from Lisa , Minho , Suho and Mia flood her inbox, all asking if she is okay.
Suddenly, a faint scratching sound comes from her window. Su jin slowly turns - nothing. She exhales in relief.
Then the words "Come To The Forest" appear on the glass in frost.
Scene 2 - Gathering the group
Next morning Su jin tells Lisa what she saw.
Lisa (Serious) :
"Then we go." If this thing wants you in the forest, We'll face it together.
Suho insists on joining glaring at, Eunwoo when he offers to lead them.
Suho :
"I don't trust you. you know too much about this curse."
Eunwoo (Calmly) :
"And yet, you're still alive because of me."
Su jin stands between them.
Su jin :
"Enough...If we are going... we'll go together."
Scene 3 - Entering The Forest
The six of them - Su jin, Eunwoo, Lisa, Suho, Minho and Mia - enter the forbidden forest . The trees are unnaturally twisted and air feels heavy.
Minho keeps looking around nervously.
Minho (Nervously) :
"They don't like us here...."
Lisa squeezes Su jin's hand.
Lisa (Whispering) :
"We are fine. We've got each other."
But behind them shadows slither along the ground.
Scene 4 - The Altar of Shadows
Deep under the forest they found a crumbling stone altar, covered in strange runes. The symbols match the dairy's drawing.
Mia gasps.
Mia :
My grandmother..she wrote about this place.
This is where she failed to break the curse.
Su jin steps closer. The runes start glowing faintly under her touch. Her palm burns, but instead of pulling away - she hears whispers in her head.
Whisper (Overlapping)
"Light....Darkness...choice..."
Scene 5 - Illusions attack
Suddenly forest shifts, each of them saw thier worst fears :
Su jin : sees her parents dead calling her name.
Lisa : sees Su jin leaving her forever.
Suho :sees Su jin in Eunwoo's arm, smiling.
Minho : sees himself surrounded by corpses of his friends.
Mia : sees her grandmother's spirit blaming her.
Eunwoo : sees himself fading away into smoke.
They screams, trying to fight the visions.
Su jin collapses, clutching her head.
Su jin (Shout) :
"S T O P!"
Her hands balze with white light, shattering the illusion.
The forest falls silent, Everyone stares at her in shock.
Scene 6 - The Prophecy In The Book
The old dairy Su jin carries, flips on its own.
New words appear.
"The chosen shall walk the forest of shadows. Her light will either destroy....or awaken the witch again"
Su jin drops the book trembling.
Su jin (Whispering) :
"Its me...i am the one this curse wants."
Suho steps forward gripping her shoulders.
Suho (Grimly) :
"Then we fight it together you aren't alone.
Su jin."
Eunwoo looks at her quietly, his eyes filled with something unspoken.
Ending scene - The Witch's Voice :
As they leave the altar, a low, raspy voice echoes throught the forest.
The Witch (Menacing) :
"Little light....you can't run forever."
Su jin freezes , Her palm glows faintly again.
