Summary

Chapter 1: The Harley Incident

A group of four friends - Tim, Big John, Jimmy, and Emma - are on a road trip to a remote cabin when they encounter a collapsed motorbike and an injured woman named Harley. They offer to help her, but she is reluctant and evasive. As they continue their journey, they sense something is amiss, as Harley starts acting strangely and making cryptic comments.

Example: When Harley refuses to give her full name or explain her accident, the group becomes suspicious. Tim notices that her eyes have a peculiar gleam, almost as if she's not fully human.

Chapter 2: The Cabin in the Woods

The friends arrive at the isolated cabin and settle in for the night. Jimmy discovers a bloodstain in the hallway, and they also find strange animal noises outside. They start to realize they may not be alone. As darkness falls, the cabin's atmosphere becomes increasingly eerie and threatening.

Example: A pack of wolves surrounds the cabin, howling menacingly. The friends barricade the doors and windows, but fear that they are being watched.

Chapter 3: The Shadows Close In

Tensions rise among the friends as they face the unknown. Harley's behavior becomes more erratic, and she seems to be hiding something. Big John investigates outside and finds Harley has disappeared. As the friends search for her, they are stalked by a mysterious figure that lurks in the shadows.

Example: Emma sees a shadowy figure moving outside the window. She screams, and the friends rush to her aid, but the figure vanishes.

Chapter 4: The Slaughter Begins

The friends become separated and hunted by the lurking figure. Jimmy is the first to be killed, his body brutally mangled. Big John is also attacked and his fate remains uncertain. Tim and Emma try to escape, but the cabin is surrounded.

Example: As Emma runs through the woods, she hears a scream and sees Tim being chased by the figure. She tries to intervene, but the figure overpowers her.

Chapter 5: The Final Showdown

Tim and Emma confront the figure, revealing their true nature as a group of ruthless killers. They fight back with everything they have, but the killers are too powerful. Emma is killed, and Tim is forced to face his own mortality.

Example: Tim grabs a broken bottle and charges at the leader of the killers. The killer deflects the attack and stabs Tim in the heart. As Tim falls to the floor, the killers disappear into the night, leaving behind a scene of carnage.
