[INT. PUB � NIGHT]

Tony, Jones, Sandy and three other male students are drinking in the pub.

Music is playing loudly as the place is packed tight.

Chantelle is working behind the bar getting rather frustrated with the demands being thrown at her.

OLD MAN
Alright Princess! Give us a snog!

CHANTELLE
I�d rather give myself a hernia

OLD MAN#2
Playin� hard to get

CHANTELLE
I hardly think so mate, I�m playing �You wish�

OLD MAN
She�s a feisty one

Both men laugh

CHANTELLE
Yes I am! Hey fella�s

She leans over giving them a clear view of her cleavage

CHANTELLE (seductively)
You want a lager on the �ouse?�

They look at eachother smiling

She pours a beer into a mug and hurls it over them.

CHANTELLE
Go On clear off you filthy bastards!

Madison and Daniel quietly approach the bar.

MADISON
So it�s true British people really are hospitable

DANIEL
Telle�s an alright bird, just a bit colourful innit
MADISON
Bird?

DANIEL
Err�Chick?

Madison rolls her eyes

MADISON
So it�s not just American Men.

Chantelle joins in.

CHANTELLE
No Love, it doesn�t matter where you go in the world, they�re all pricks.

DANIEL
I object

MADISON
Well, of course you get the exception

Daniel and Madison smile at eachother as Chantelle looks on in disgust.

CHANTELLE
Shame they�ve not been discovered yet.

Daniel opens his mouth to talk again but is cut off by the grand entrance of Aisha and Amberlise.

AISHA / AMBERLISE
We�re here you can have fun now!

Everyone stops dead.

AMBERLISE
Please, y�all know I�m the life of he party Heeeeeeey!

STUDENT
More the bike of every village

Laughter. Amberlise� face drops before a sarcastic smile.

AISHA (to Amberlise)
Who is that prime British beef talking to Mad-ison?

AMBERLISE
Whoa Baby got back!

Amberlise glides over to them leaving Aisha standing awkwardly waving at people from the doorway.

She slips in between Daniel and Madison. Madison�s face drops at being pushed to the back again.

AMBERLISE
(holding out her hand to be kissed)
Charmed I�m sure

Daniel looks at her like she�s mad and shakes her hand. She looks disgusted.

DANIEL
Hi Charmedaumsure

AMBERLISE (False laughter)
Oh, you English! It�s Amberlise

DANIEL
Right. Well, nice to meet you.

He turns back to Madison. Amberlise jumps straight back between them.

AMBERLISE
I Love the English accent!

DANIEL
Really? Maybe you should go there then

AMBERLISE
I am there

Madison giggles as Chantelle roars with laughter. Amberlise shoots Madison down with a look, which Chantelle picks up on.

CHANTELLE
Amberlisecharmedtomeetyou or whatever the hell weird Yankee name you�ve got�Scotland isn�t in England.

AMBERLISE
Yes it is.
(Looks to Aisha for reassurance. Aisha shakes her head)
I knew that, I was just testing Madison here.

DANIEL
Why would you need to test her?

AMBERLISE
She�s not like the rest of us you see, gotta keep her up to the beat. I mean, she�s only just realised the 80�s are over.

Madison looks down at herself and the floor

MADISON
I�I just remembered I�m�tired. It was nice meeting you.

She rushes out avoiding eye contact with Amberlise who�s grinning.

DANIEL
Dee wait!

He follows leaving Amberlise rejected.

She turns to the bar to see a grinning Chantelle who continues working when she�s caught by her.

AMBERLISE
Give me a martini.

Chantelle pours the drink then knocks it over Amberlise� suede jacket.

CHANTELLE
Parkinson�s?

[CUT TO.]

[EXT � PUB NIGHT]

Madison is quick pacing down the road.

Daniel runs out after her.

DANIEL
Oi!

She stops and turns

MADISON
What?

As he catches up with her she continues to walk with him at her side.

DANIEL
Why are you leaving?

MADISON
Why?

DANIEL
It�s early, it just seemed a bit odd.

MADISON
Yeah, well that�s me.

DANIEL
What�s that girls problem?

MADISON
She�s a bitch.

DANIEL
So tell her.

MADISON
Yeah right.

DANIEL
You�re not in School Dee, why are you letting her get away with that.

MADISON
Because it�s how the story goes, the shy girl meets the guy and the popular girl steals him away.

DANIEL
Would I be that guy?

MADISON
Possibly.

Madison continues to walk Daniel follows shortly after. He grabs her by the arm and spins her round.

DANIEL
Well, I�m not �that guy� that girl, she�s just another factory made former cheerleader with fake hair, why would I be interested in that?

MADISON
Why wouldn�t you be?

DANIEL
She�s not you.

Madison blushes

MADISON
I really should be going, I am actually kinda tired.

DANIEL
I understand that�s cool. I�ll give you a call sometime?

MADISON
Whatever, you�ve got my number.

He holds her by each arm and stares her in the face.

DANIEL
I �WILL� call you.

He walks off backwards, watching her the entire time as she walks slowly down the road.

[CUT TO.]

[EXT � STUDENT HOUSE � NIGHT]

Madison is about to put her key into the door as she hears a shuffling.

She looks around her but sees nothing.

A crash follows from the side of the house.

Madison slowly creeps round, looking carefully around her.

MADISON
Who. Who�s there?

She sees a small cat jump out from behind the bin. Making her practically jump out of her skin. She smiles a sigh of relief and turns round.

MADISON
Aaaaaaaaaaaah.

SCOTT
You shouldn�t wonder around dark alleys alone at night.

MADISON
You ever think that you shouldn�t sneak up on people who are wondering around dark alleys at night?

SCOTT
This is my property young lady. I�m just checking the grounds.

MADISON
For what?

SCOTT
That would be telling wouldn�t it.

Scott looks around then begins to walk off a few seconds before Madison follows looking rather disturbed.

[CUT TO.]

[INT. STUDENT HOUSE � NIGHT]

Madison and Scott are sat in the common room.

Scott is drinking whisky whilst listening and humming to Vivaldi four seasons.

Madison is reading a book called �Highland Cries�

MADISON
You a big classical music fan Mr. McQueen?

SCOTT
Love it, Kiri is wonderful. Great for the ears.

Madison smiles at his enthusiasm.

SCOTT
Do you read a lot of books?

MADISON
Not really, I got this one today, since you started talking about the Banshee last night. It�s really interesting.

SCOTT
Of course the book never tells it like it is.

MADISON
It doesn�t?
(Humouring him)
How is it then?

SCOTT
Oh, I�ve no doubt you�ll find out as much as you like about the story during you stay here. Good person to ask is a local woman named Mary.

MADISON
Why?

SCOTT
Just, go into the bakery one-day. But you may want to study sign language first. She�s death, has been for years.

MADISON
Let me guess, she encountered this Banshee

SCOTT
Something like that

MADISON
You really do believe in all of it don�t you

SCOTT
It�s not a case of believing, it�s a case of knowing

MADISON
So you�ve seen this Banshee creature?

SCOTT
Never with my own eyes. On that note, they�re heavy and I�m off to bed, Good night, and sleep�with earplugs in.

He smiles at her and laughs wickedly

SCOTT
Earplugs, classic
(Said to himself as he walks upstairs humming)

Madison sits still thinking. She glares at the book cover looking deep in though.

[CUT TO.]

[EXT. PUB NIGHT]

Amberlise stumbles out drunkenly. She begins to wonder off towards the student house falling over a few times.

She pulls a cigarette from her purse and is about to light it as she hears a howling.

AMBERLISE
Hello?

She glares around before screaming. Tony, Sandy and others stumble past her drunk and shouting.

TONY
Don�t pee your pants Amber.

AMBERLISE
Eat shit.

The group continues to walk off until out of sight.

Amberlise� lighter isn�t working. She shakes it. Before dropping her cigarette on the floor.

AMBERLISE
Shit.

She crouches down and picks it up, staying squatted to light her cigarette she hears a faint howling in the background.

AMBERLISE
Tony stop being an asshole for 5 seconds.

[SWITCH TO.]

Madison is sat up in bed, lights off, but very awake. She moves to the window as she hears a light howling in the background.

[SWITCH TO.]

Amberlise is stood smoking, she begins to walk at a great pace. She jumps as a car skids past her, petrol dripping from the exhaust.

It plashes through a puddle getting her wet.

AMBERLISE
THANK YOU!! Prick.

The howling is getting louder

AMBERLISE
Argh, British are idiots they can�t even turn off their own car alarms�and I�m talking to myself.

[SWITCH TO.]

Madison stares out into the hills as she sees an illuminated figure dashing down at great speed, so fast it looks like a speeding car.

[SWITCH TO.]

Amberlise is stood as the howling gets louder and closer.

[SWITCH TO.]
Madison throws her jacket on and runs out of the house

[SWITCH TO.]

Amberlise is looking towards the light heading to her at great speed.

[SWITCH TO.]

Daniel, Aisha and Chantelle start walking out of the pub. Chantelle locks up.

DANIEL
You want us to walk you back to the house?

AISHA
Hell yeah! I am not walkin� round no strange haunted town alone. What�s that noise?

CHANTELLE
Why does nobody round here ever turn off their alarms?

[SWITCH TO.]

Madison sprinting up the stone road.

[SWITCH TO.]

Daniel, Chantelle and Aisha walking round the corner.

AISHA
Is that Madison running at Amber? I told you she was crazy.
(beat)
AMBER! Hey!

Amberlise looks over at them then looks back at the light coming at her, getting faster.

DANIEL
What�s she looking at?

The group and Madison freeze in their tracks as the light flashes past Amberlise and vanishes.

Amberlise is stood for a half second, covered in blood, gutted and cut up she drops to the ground, her cigarette lands in the petrol and up in flames she goes.

Madison spins to the floor covering her mouth to not throw up.

Aisha screams and turns into Daniel�s arms. Chantelle goes wide eyes and into shock as they stare at the flames.

[MIX TO.]

[EXT. DAY]

Police cars and students gather at the site.

Madison is sat on a bench opposite the chaos. She looks out at Aisha crying on Tony�s shoulder.

She pulls her book out and stares at the cover before staring at the bakery and the old woman watching from the window.

[INT. BAKERY � DAY]

Madison enters the bakery and poorly acts as though she�s looking at bread. Clearly she is spying the shop worker.

The woman spots her as she needs her dough, Madison sharply looks to the floor before grabbing a loaf and taking it to the counter.

The woman weighs the bread and wraps it in paper before bagging it and handing it to Madison who�s looking around the shop anxiously.

LADY
Sixty pence

Madison doesn�t react

LADY
Miss!

Madison looks up alerted

LADY
That�ll be sixty pence

MADISON
What?
(Realises)
Right, sorry

Madison roots through her purse whilst looking around.

MADISON
There was an old.

She�s cut off before she can finish

LADY
Miss, with no disrespect, you�re clearly not from these parts but this thing, it ain�t uncommon so don�t be going and asking folk what they know.

MADISON
Know, it�s just�

LADY
I know what it was just, you just though you�d ask strange old lady Evelyn if she knew anything about the accident last night, well she don�t.

MADISON
But I�

LADY
(Angry)
End of discussion

MADISON
I�m sorry. It� just that I heard�

LADY
End
(Serious beat)
Of discussion.

Madison looks at her unease as she pounds her fists into the uncooked bread.

LADY
Now, if you don�t mind. I�ve got work to do.

MADISON
Right, I�ll be leaving�again, I�m sorry.

As Madison leaves the Woman calls after her, ignored.

LADY
You tell them tourist friends of yours to keep the noise down at the evening!
(Takes a breath of discomfort)
Damn kids.

[CUT TO.]

[EXT � BAKERY � DAY]

Madison steps outside and takes in a deep breath as she flicks her attention over to the press.

Through the mass her eyes clock onto the old woman, who immediately turns to leave As Madison attempts to follow.

Madison is caught in the crowd of press as she attempts to weave through the sea of arms and bodies to get to the old woman.

By the time Madison gets to the other side of the mass, the woman is nowhere to be seen.

She scans the horizon before sighing disappointment.

[DISSOLVE TO.]
