Panels 2-4
Jesse, curled up in a ball with her hair covering half of her face, is being pushed in a friendly manner by two of her friends. Over the shoulder shot of Ashley and Hal.
HAL: (concerned) Do you think she'll be okay with doing this?
ASHLEY: To be honest, I really don't know. She hasn't said a word to me for the whole week
HAL: (sighing) I'm really starting to worry about her
ASHLEY: You and me both (sighs)
HAL: (looking out the window) It's time... sit next to Jesse for this
Ashley nods at Hal before getting up and taking her place next to Jesse
ASHLEY: You ready for this?
Jesse turns her head towards Ashley before giving her a reassuring smile and grabbing her hand.

Panels 6-8
A 360 degree pan shows everyone reaching out to take the hands of the people sitting either side of them. They then began to close their eyes and sway in circles, chanting "Gatekeeper, open thine doorway" in a strange language. After five times of repeating the chant, the room falls silent. Ashley breaks the silence.
ASHLEY: Is anybody with us (cautiously)
Jesse's eyes open twitching to reveal a red colouration change.

Panels 9-15
Jesse let's go of the hands of her friends sitting beside her, grabs her hair and begins to shake her head as if she has a terrible head ache. Ashley is the first to notice
ASHLEY: Jesse? Are you okay?
Hal gets up and walks over to where Jesse sat.
HAL: Are you alright? Jesse, speak to m-
Jesse cuts him off with a blood curdling scream. Moving her arms swiftly outwards horizontally, she causes everyone to be thrown against the tree-house walls and, in doing so, blowing the candles out. We hear screams from the other friends in the pitch black.
The candles relight from the point of view of Hal, who witnesses Jesse slaughter two of his unconscious friends. He blinks to try and bring his blurry vision back to normal, but when he looks back at the area she was knelt in, he finds she's disappeared.
Suddenly, the sound of rattling chains fills the room and Jesse jumps out from behind him and strangles him with a chain.
Ashley, who is also still conscious, also attempts to recover as she tries to crawl to safety. Jesse notices her shuffling along the floor and gets up to move after her, dropping Hal's lifeless body to the floor revealing horrible burn marks in the shape of the chain across his neck.
On her way over, she picks up a sledge hammer, dragging it across the floor as she walks slowly towards her last victim. Ashley hears her footsteps and turns her body around, only to find the last sight she will ever see - a hammer falling towards her head. We hear the cracking of her skull as the screen cuts to black. Blood is blasted across a window as once again, the screen cuts to black.
