Chapter 5 - The curse Awakens
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Scene 1 - Sleepless Guilt
Su jin sits at her desk, staring at the glowing mark on her palm. Every time she closes her eye's, she hears the Witch's voice.
Lisa video calls her.
Lisa (worried) :
"You're scaring me, Su jin. You don't answer texts, you don't eat – What's going on ?"
Su jin (softly) :
"What if this curse is real because of me?
What if people get hurt because of me ?"
Lisa shakes her head.
Lisa :
"Then we'll protect you as always.
Su jin smiles faintly but the make on her palm burns hotter.
Scene 2 - The Attack at School
The next day at school, things turn terrifying.
During class, the windows suddenly shatter and a dark mist seeps inside. Students screams and run.
Su jin freezes as she hears the whisper again.
Witch's (echoing):
"...Su...ji...n..."
Desk fly across the room, A shadowy figure lunges straight at her – until Suho pulls her out of the way, shielding her.
Suho (panting) :
"They are after you, Run!!"
The group (Su jin, Eunwoo, Lisa, Suho, Minho, Mia) barely escapes the chaos.
Scene 3 - Eunwoo's Revelation
They hide in an abondoned storeroom. Su jin clutches Suho's sleeve, trembling.
Su jin :
"It won't stop...it keeps coming for me..."
Eunwoo steps closer, his expression grim.
Eunwoo :
"Because, you are the key. The witch can only return through you.
Everyone goes silent.
Mia :
"Through her?" What do you mean?
Eunwoo's silver eye's flicker faintly.
Eunwoo :
"I wasn't honest. I was sent to protect her.
My family... we've guarded this curse for generations, and now it's awakening.
Su jin stares at him, betrayed.
Su jin (hurt) :
"You knew, and you didn't tell me?"
Eunwoo lowers his gaze.
Eunwoo :
"If I had, would you have believed me?"
Scene 4 - Minho's Vision
That night Minho wanders alone, shaken by what Eunwoo said. Suddenly, his reflection in a puddle grins at him with blood stained teeth.
Reflection (mocking) :
"You won't survive, she'll kill you all."
Minho stumbles back, terrified.
Scene 5 - Su jin's power unleashed
At night, Su jin dreams of the Witch's face – half burnt with the glowing red eyes. She wakes up screaming. The mark on her palm flares, white hot, and suddenly all the mirror in her room explode.
Her parents rushed in, panicked.
Mother (Shouting) :
"Su jin! What's happening?"
Su jin falls to her knees, clutching her head as light pours from it uncontrollably.
Scene 6 - The Pact Of Friends
The next day the six gathers at the Lisa's house. Su jin looks at each of them, guilt heavy in her eyes.
Su jin :
"This curse is mine. You don't have to suffer because of me."
Minho (Angrily) :
"Don't say that again, we chose this.
Lisa :
"Su jin you are my best friend. If you fall, i fall too.
Minho (quiet but firm) :
"I had a vision, it said we'll die. But I had rather fight beside you than run."
Mia :
"My grandmother couldn't finish this....but may be we can."
Eunwoo finally meets Su jin's eyes.
Eunwoo (serious) :
"You are not alone. Not anymore."
Su jin looks at her friends tears welling up.
For the first time she feels hope – yet the Witch's laughter echoes faintly in the head.
Ending scene: The Witch's Awakening
Far away, in the heart of forbidden forest, the ground cracks open. A skeletal hand rises from the earth, wrapped in shadows.
The witch (whisper) :
"My light is waking... soon I'll return."
