Spirit Of The Crayons
Ep 1
INT. ABANDONED SCHOOL - NIGHT
EXT. SCHOOL COURTYARD - NIGHT
Lucas
Come on, it’s just an old school. What’s the worst that could happen?
Emma
They say it’s haunted. Kids disappeared here, Lucas.
Jason
Those are just stories. Let’s go check it out.
The three friends exchange uncertain glances before heading inside.
INT. SCHOOL HALLWAY - NIGHT
The hallway is dark and foreboding. The flashlights reveal cracked tiles and peeling paint. The trio’s footsteps echo ominously.
Jason
Why is it so cold in here?
Emma
I don’t know. This place gives me the creeps.
Lucas
Let’s just find something cool and get out of here.
Jason
There's no something cool in the abandoned school!
They continue down the hallway until they reach the classroom with the crayon box.
INT. CLASSROOM - NIGHT
Lucas steps inside, his flashlight illuminating the crayon box. He approaches it curiously.
Lucas
Look at this. These cool crayons must be ancient.
Emma and Jason step in cautiously, their flashlights darting around the room.
Emma
Do you think these were left by the kids who disappeared?
Jason
Maybe they’re cursed.
Lucas picks up a crayon, its color almost completely faded. Suddenly, whispers fill the room, growing louder and more insistent. The teenagers look around, trying to find the source.
Lucas
Yeah. We should get out of here.
As they turn to leave, the classroom door slams shut, trapping them inside. The whispers intensify, and the crayons begin to move on their own, drawing on the walls and floors.
Jason
What the heck is going on?!
The drawings start to depict horrific scenes: children screaming, shadowy figures, and ghostly faces. The atmosphere grows colder, and the friends' breaths become visible in the frigid air.
Emma
We have to get out of here, Fast!!
The crayons suddenly stop moving, and a ghostly figure of a child appears, its eyes hollow and sorrowful.
INT. SCHOOL HALLWAY - NIGHT
The trio bursts out of the classroom, running down the hallway. The whispers follow them, growing louder and more desperate. They reach the exit, but the door won’t budge.
Emma
We’re trapped in here!
Jason
There’s got to be another way out. Come on!
INT. SCHOOL BASEMENT - NIGHT
They find a staircase leading to the basement. The air grows even colder as they descend. The basement is dark and cluttered with old, forgotten school supplies. The whispers become more distinct, sounding like a chorus of children’s voices.
Lucas
What do you want from us?
The ghostly child reappears, pointing to an old, dusty journal on a nearby table. Lucas picks it up and opens it, revealing pages filled with children’s drawings and cryptic messages.
Ghost Child
Free us please…
The trio realizes that the spirits of the children are trapped within the crayons and need help to move on.
The journal glows faintly, and the pages flip on their own to reveal a final drawing: a circle of crayons with a ritualistic symbol in the center.
Jason
We have to perform this ritual.
INT. CLASSROOM - NIGHT
Back in the classroom, they arrange the crayons in a circle and draw the symbol in the center. The whispers crescendo as they complete the ritual. The ghostly child smiles faintly before dissipating into a soft glow.
The atmosphere lightens, and the oppressive cold lifts. The door unlocks with a soft click. The trio, exhausted but relieved, makes their way out of the school.
EXT. SCHOOL COURTYARD - NIGHT
They stand outside, the moonlight casting a peaceful glow over the school. The haunted feeling is gone, replaced by an eerie silence.
Lucas
Let’s never come back here again.
Jason
Yeah. Some stories should stay buried.
Ep 2
INT. EMMA'S BEDROOM - NIGHT
Emma tosses and turns in her bed, clearly disturbed by nightmares. The camera zooms in on her sweating face, capturing her fear. She suddenly wakes up with a gasp, sitting upright and breathing heavily. She glances around her dark room, illuminated only by the moonlight filtering through the window.
Emma
Just a dream… it was just a dream!
She looks at her bedside table where the old journal lies, the same one they found in the school. Hesitantly, she opens it. The pages are now filled with drawings of children playing, but one page stands out. It's blank, except for a single sentence written in red crayon: "Help us, Emma."
Emma
What do you want from me?
INT. SCHOOL HALLWAY - DAY
Lucas and Jason walk down the school hallway, heading towards their lockers. They talk about their weekend plans, trying to shake off the memory of the abandoned school.
Lucas
Maybe we should go to the arcade instead of ghost hunting next time.
Jason
Yeah, that sounds a lot safer.
As they approach their lockers, they notice a group of students gathered, whispering and pointing. Lucas opens his locker and freezes. Inside, drawn in red crayon, are the same cryptic symbols from the journal.
A chilling whisper fills the air, heard only by Lucas and Jason.
The boys exchange worried glances, realizing the haunting is far from over.
INT. EMMA'S LIVING ROOM - NIGHT
Emma, Lucas, and Jason sit in Emma's living room, the journal open on the coffee table. They discuss the recent events, trying to piece together what’s happening.
Lucas
It’s not over. The spirits are still trying to reach out to us.
Jason
But we did the ritual. We set them free, didn’t we?
Emma
Maybe we missed something. There’s got to be more to this.
Emma flips through the journal, searching for clues. She stops at a page with a drawing of the school, focusing on a hidden room in the basement.
Emma
Look, there's a room we didn’t see before. We need to go back.
EXT. ABANDONED SCHOOL - NIGHT
The trio stands outside the school once more, armed with flashlights and determination. The atmosphere is heavy with tension as they enter the building.
Jason
Let’s get this over with.
INT. SCHOOL BASEMENT - NIGHT
They carefully navigate through the dark basement, following the journal’s instructions. They find a hidden door behind a stack of old desks and manage to pry it open.
INT. SECRET ROOM - NIGHT
The room is small and filled with old toys and children's belongings, covered in dust. In the center of the room is a small, makeshift altar with candles and a large, worn book.
Emma approaches the altar, feeling a cold chill run down her spine. She opens the book, revealing more drawings and symbols.
Emma
It’s some kind of binding ritual. The spirits are trapped here because of this.
Suddenly, the room grows colder, and the ghostly children appear, their faces filled with sorrow.
Ghost Child
Free us... Help...
INT. SECRET ROOM - LATER
The trio works together to undo the binding ritual, following the instructions in the book. As they complete the final step, the ghostly children smile and slowly fade away, their whispers turning into soft, joyful laughter.
Lucas
We did it. For real this time.
Emma
Yeah, i think its over...
Jason
I hope this is over...
Ep 3
INT. EMMA'S BEDROOM - NIGHT
Emma is asleep in her bed, the room quiet and peaceful. Suddenly, a shadowy figure moves across the room, barely visible in the moonlight. Emma stirs awake, sensing something is wrong. She sits up and turns on her bedside lamp, revealing the figure standing at the foot of her bed – COLEI, a sinister-looking man in a tattered coat and a haunting mask.
Colei doesn’t answer, instead lunging towards Emma with a knife. She screams and scrambles to get away, knocking over her lamp in the process. The room plunges into darkness as she runs out, slamming the door behind her.
INT. LUCAS'S HOUSE - NIGHT
Lucas is in his room, playing video games with Jason. They hear Emma’s scream from next door and exchange worried glances.
Lucas
I think so. Let’s go check it out.
They rush out of the room and head towards Emma’s house.
EXT. EMMA'S HOUSE - NIGHT
Emma bursts out of her front door, panting and disheveled. Lucas and Jason arrive just in time to see her.
Emma
He’s in there… Colei… he tried to kill me!
Jason
Call the police, now!!
INT. EMMA'S LIVING ROOM - NIGHT
The police arrive quickly and search the house, but find no sign of Colei. Emma sits on the couch, shaking and wrapped in a blanket. Lucas and Jason comfort her, trying to make sense of what happened.
Detective Ryan
Can you describe the man who attacked you?
Emma
He wore a mask… like a twisted clown. He came out of nowhere.
Lucas
We won’t let him hurt you again, Emma. I promise.
EXT. POLICE STATION - DAY
The next day, Lucas, Emma, and Jason sit in the police station, waiting for updates from Detective Ryan. He emerges from his office with a grim expression.
Detective Ryan
We found something. Colei isn’t just some random killer. He’s connected to the school.
Detective Ryan
(Shows a photo) This mask. It matches descriptions from witnesses of a man seen lurking around the abandoned school before you went there.
The trio exchanges horrified looks, realizing Colei has been haunting them since they encountered the spirits.
Emma
He’s after us because of what we did.
INT. ABANDONED SCHOOL - NIGHT
Lucas, Emma, and Jason return to the abandoned school, determined to confront Colei and end the haunting once and for all. They carry flashlights and makeshift weapons, ready for a fight.
Jason
He’s got to be here somewhere.
They cautiously navigate through the dark corridors, the tension palpable. Suddenly, they hear footsteps echoing through the hallway.
colei
You shouldn’t have meddled with things you don’t understand.
Colei emerges from the shadows, wielding his knife and wearing his haunting mask. The trio stands their ground, facing him with determination.
Lucas
We’re not afraid of you anymore.
INT. ABANDONED SCHOOL - FINAL SHOWDOWN
A tense and intense fight ensues as Lucas, Emma, and Jason battle Colei through the school’s eerie corridors and classrooms. They use their wits and teamwork to outmaneuver him, trying to gain the upper hand.
colei
You can’t stop what’s been set in motion.
Emma manages to knock the knife out of Colei’s hand with a well-aimed kick. Lucas and Jason pin him down, struggling to unmask him.
Lucas
Who are you really?!
They finally manage to pull off Colei’s mask, revealing a scarred and tormented face.
colei
I was one of the children… trapped by the ritual… until you freed them.
colei
It doesn’t matter now. The cycle won’t end until all the wrongs are made right.
INT. ABANDONED SCHOOL - EPILOGUE
The police arrive and arrest Colei, taking him away as he stares at the trio with a mixture of anger and sadness. Lucas, Emma, and Jason stand together in the empty school, exhausted but relieved.
