CATHERINE stands outside the BRADING’S mansion. She takes pictures of her surrounding area.  MRS. BRADING walks up to Catherine, she thanks Catherine for taking care of everything while she goes off to her trip. She tells Catherine to keep a close eye on BLAIR. Mrs. Brading drives off. Catherine enters the house, and yells hello.  She closes the door and turns around to find Blair. Blair says boo. Catherine gasps and tells Blair not to do that again.  Blair apologizes and hugs Catherine. She says she misses her. Catherine hugs her back and they talk briefly about recent events.  Blair excuses herself, claiming she has a lot of studying to do.  Catherine yells after her, expecting to finish the conversation with her cousin.

Catherine runs outside to tell her aunt a final goodbye.  As she reaches the drive way her aunt is pulling off and yells to Catherine to have a great time with her cousin.  Catherine asks for her aunt to wait but she’s too late.  Catherine turns back at the house with excitement.  She walks back in to unpack and get settled. Catherine whispers to herself that this is going to be a good weekend with her long lost cousin.

Day 2: Catherine awakes to Blair standing beside the bed. Blair whispers she’s hungry and Catherine offers to fix her breakfast. Blair just smiles and run down the long hallway of the mansion. Catherine walks into the kitchen and begin to prepare breakfast.  She hear a loud boom and walk toward the hallway to see what it was. She looks toward Blair’s room and Blair is just standing at the end of the hallway with her back facing Catherine.  Catherine walks up to Blair and asks her what’s wrong.

Cut to Day 3: Catherine awakes at 3 am, she’s sweating heavily.  She rises up and jumps out of bed to get a glass of water. On her way to the kitchen she hear a mumbling sound. She ignores it.  Catherine then proceeds to the kitchen. She pours a glass of water while she’s gulping down the water then she hear singing.  She calls out Blair’s name.  Then the singing turns to laughing.  As she puts back the water container and close the refrigerator, Blair is standing there.  Blair screams in agony.

Cut to Day 4: MORNING

Catherine is sitting in the living room having a conversation about Blair on her cell phone. The friends advise her to reach out to Blair’s mother and tell her about the odd behavior that has been going on.  Catherine hangs up with her friends and tries to call Blair’s mom. The phone is disconnected… Catherine panics, and calls over and over again.  Fortunately, Catherine receives a call from her boyfriend and he asks if he can come over.  Catherine agrees and begs him to keep his promise about coming over to visit her.

Day 4: NIGHT

Dylan pulls in the driveway, he gets out, and ring the doorbell. He rings the doorbell again… He rings the doorbell again. Finally, Catherine comes to the door exasperated.  She pulls Dylan in and asks him silently for help.  He then asks what’s wrong. She begs him not to speak out of fear that Blair is going to hear them. Not only Blair, but HAYTEE. Catherine asks Dylan to follow her to Blair’s room. He stops midway when he hear Blair scream out with a masculine voice. Catherine begs him to follow her, and he does. They enter the room and it is pitch black. The temperature is below freezing. They follow closely behind each other, and pause midway into the room. Blair is standing there with her white gown and blood all over it. She’s holding a kitchen knife chanting demonic words. Blair begins to laugh and Catherine and Dylan run out of the room headed for the front door. Objects are now moving in the house, Blair is chasing after them. They stop to hide, scared and panicking. Blair is no longer loud. The house goes quiet. Dylan gets up and something pulls him away quickly. He calls for Catherine. Catherine gets up and heads for the door. Blair is standing there at the door. Waiting…

Cut to darkness.
