[INT. OLD WOODEN CABIN – NIGHT]
The camera pans slowly over the dimly lit interior of a 17th-century cabin. Shadows dance on the rough wooden walls as the fire in the hearth flickers low. An eerie silence fills the air, broken only by the distant hoot of an owl. A young girl, pale and wide-eyed, sits at a table, her hands clasped tightly together.
NARRATOR (V.O.) (whispering) In the deep, dark woods… something ancient stirs.
[EXT. FOREST – DUSK]
The camera moves through the dense forest. Trees loom tall and menacing, their branches twisted and clawing at the sky. The sound of leaves rustling in the wind echoes ominously. A figure in a tattered cloak moves swiftly between the trees, barely visible.
NARRATOR (V.O.) In the shadows, it waits…
Suddenly, the camera catches a glimpse of the figure’s face—pale, gaunt, with hollow eyes and lips curled into a sinister smile. The figure vanishes into the darkness.
[INT. CABIN – NIGHT]
The young girl stands at the window, staring out into the blackness of the night. Her breath fogs the glass as she whispers.
YOUNG GIRL She’s here…
The camera zooms in on her face as her eyes widen with terror. A loud creaking sound comes from the door behind her. She turns slowly, her face pale and trembling.
[EXT. VILLAGE – NIGHT]
The village is empty, shrouded in fog. The wind howls through the streets, carrying with it faint whispers. The camera moves through the abandoned village, showing doors left ajar, tools dropped in haste, and candles flickering out. The sound of distant chanting grows louder, ominous and foreboding.
NARRATOR (V.O.) Once forgotten… now awakened…
The camera cuts to a group of villagers gathered around a fire in the woods, their faces lit by the flames. They are desperate, frightened, clutching symbols of protection. One man steps forward, his voice trembling.
VILLAGER We must stop her… before it’s too late!
[EXT. FOREST – NIGHT]
The camera follows the man as he ventures deeper into the woods. Twigs snap underfoot, and shadows move in the corner of his vision. Suddenly, a loud cackle echoes through the trees, sending him into a panic. He stumbles and falls, breathing heavily, as something moves in the darkness ahead.
[INT. CABIN – NIGHT]
The young girl is now huddled in the corner of the cabin, clutching a small wooden cross. The door creaks open slowly, and a cold wind rushes in. She closes her eyes tightly, whispering a prayer.
NARRATOR (V.O.) The Witch… has returned.
The screen goes black. The sound of a haunting whisper echoes.
