Aimee
Text “Bloody Jane” to three friends.
Aimee
Or she’ll come for you.
Kaitlyn
Ha. Very funny, Aimee.
Aimee
I’m not taking any chances…
Aimee
Years ago, some girl in my sorority blew Jane off.
Kaitlyn
As well she should.
Aimee
She’s dead, Kaitlyn. Decapitated in a freak accident.
Aimee
Bloody Jane isn’t a ghost. You need to take this seriously.
Kaitlyn
Aimee, I’m not even at school right now. I’m at my mom’s house.
Aimee
Bloody Jane can find you anywhere.
Kaitlyn gets an incoming text from her friend Dahlia. She clicks on the thread.
Kaitlyn
Stop listening to Aimee.
Dahlia
No way. I’m too attached to my head.
Kaitlyn
So am I. But a killer ghost? Come on.
Dahlia
I’d rather play it safe.
Dahlia
Especially because I’ve been in and out of dead zones since Aimee texted me.
Dahlia
And there’s also a car following us.
Kaitlyn
You’re not driving, are you?
Kaitlyn
How’s the road trip so far?
Dahlia
Eh, there’s no air conditioning, so Teddy’s a little cranky.
Dahlia
Plus, that car is still back there.
Kaitlyn
Then tell Teddy to slow down and let them pass you.
Dahlia
We’re on a single lane road with a huge drop and no shoulder.
Dahlia
We’re going too fast as it is.
Dahlia
This guy keeps speeding up.
Kaitlyn
Seriously, tell Teddy to slow down.
When she doesn’t hear back, Kaitlyn texts Aimee.
Kaitlyn
Have you spoken to Dahlia?
Aimee
Earlier today. Why?
Kaitlyn
I think she’s in trouble.
Kaitlyn
No, it’s some creeper trying to run her and Teddy off a cliff.
Aimee
That’s how Jane works. She expects loyalty.
Aimee
If you don’t warn your friends, she comes after you.
Kaitlyn
There is an actual person in an actual car trying to hurt Dahlia and Teddy.
Kaitlyn
We have to do something.
Aimee
If it’s Jane, it’s too late. Once she comes after you, there are no takebacks.
Kaitlyn
Gee, thanks for the help. You’re a great friend.
Aimee
Did you text three friends yet?
Kaitlyn
I’m busy trying to solve a real problem.
Aimee
You really shouldn’t blow me off right now…
Kaitlyn shakes her head and texts Dahlia again.
Kaitlyn
Dahlia? Are you getting any of my texts?
Dahlia
The driver behind us won’t slow down!
Dahlia
He keeps getting closer…
Dahlia
OMG, he hit us! We almost swerved off the road!
Dahlia
Kait, I’m really scared.
Dahlia
No way. She’s doing this on purpose. She wants to hurt us.
Kaitlyn
She? I thought you said it was a man who was driving behind you!
Kaitlyn
Dahlia, what’s happening?
Dahlia
Call 911. We’re at Exit 66.
Kaitlyn
Dahlia? Where are you?
Dahlia
Bloody Jane. Bloody Jane. Bloody Jane.
Kaitlyn
Dahlia, tell me what’s going on!
Kaitlyn
Aimee, I think something horrible just happened.
Kaitlyn sends Aimee a screenshot of her conversation with Dahlia.
Aimee
You never believe me.
Kaitlyn
You can’t seriously expect me to buy into this Bloody Jane thing.
Aimee
I can and I do. Did you call 911?
Kaitlyn
I don’t know what to tell them! I don’t know which highway she’s on.
Aimee
I’ll call. You need to text three friends now.
Kaitlyn
I’m really freaked out.
Aimee
Okay. I’ll call and then I’ll come over.
Aimee
Promise me you’ll send the texts.
Kaitlyn
Promise…but first I’m going to try to reach Dahlia.
Kaitlyn
I’m going to keep texting until you answer.
Kaitlyn
I don’t believe in ghosts or curses.
Kaitlyn
Hang on, I think my mom locked herself out again.
Kaitlyn receives a text from Aimee. She clicks on the thread.
Aimee
Okay, I called 911. They’re going to ping her location.
Aimee
She’s going to be okay.
Kaitlyn
What if she isn’t? Someone was following her.
Aimee
Now do you believe in Bloody Jane?
Kaitlyn
No! I believe that in real life, people do bad things.
Kaitlyn
Like this psycho who ran Dahlia and Teddy off the road.
Aimee
Bloody Jane sees all.
Kaitlyn
Stop texting and come over. I’m going to keep trying to reach Dahlia.
Aimee
Have you tried Teddy?
Kaitlyn
I don’t have his number.
Kaitlyn switches back to her texts with Dahlia.
Kaitlyn
I hope you’re okay. If you’re not though…
Kaitlyn
I need to tell you something.
Kaitlyn
There’s a confession I need to make.
Kaitlyn
Hold on. I keep thinking I hear someone knocking at the door.
Kaitlyn
Another false alarm. Listen…
Dahlia
For now. But Teddy…
Dahlia
It was Bloody Jane.
Kaitlyn
Bloody Jane? Are you kidding me?
Dahlia
I didn’t get a good look. It was so dark.
Dahlia
She was around our age…covered in blood.
Dahlia
She rammed our car into the side of the cliff.
Kaitlyn
OMG. Are you sure Teddy is dead?
Dahlia
I’m hiding. I climbed down the rocks.
Dahlia
Kaitlyn, I never finished texting three people.
Dahlia
She’s still going to come for me.
Kaitlyn
There’s no such thing as Bloody Jane.
Dahlia
There is! My sister told me about her years ago.
Kaitlyn
Hang on, I’ll look her up and prove it to you.
Kaitlyn runs a quick Google search.
Kaitlyn
It’s nothing but an urban legend.
Dahlia
It can’t be. Aimee’s sorority sister knew the girl Jane murdered.
Kaitlyn
Well it says here that it’s an urban legend tied to a hazing murder.
Kaitlyn
Calm down and stay focused — we need to get you home.
Dahlia
What do you expect me to do, Kaitlyn?
Kaitlyn
Stay where you are.
Kaitlyn
The police are on the way, but that person is still out there.
Dahlia
Just keep texting. I need to be distracted.
Dahlia
Tell me more about Jane.
Kaitlyn
Let me look. There’s a website on urban legends and real-life murders.
Kaitlyn
Okay, the knocking noise at my house is starting to creep me out.
Dahlia
Maybe Jane’s coming for you too. Did you text three friends?
Kaitlyn
Because Jane isn’t real.
Kaitlyn
No one’s here. But I’m going to lock all the windows to be extra careful.
Dahlia
I saw her. I’m telling you — she’s real.
Kaitlyn
Dahlia, Bloody Jane was a hazing ritual. Some sorority girls made it up to scare pledges.
Kaitlyn
But two girls took it too far when a nonbeliever wouldn’t play along.
Kaitlyn
They tried to scare her into thinking Bloody Jane was coming for her.
Dahlia
And accidentally killed her?
Kaitlyn
According to their lawyers. Some witnesses say they actually wanted her dead.
Kaitlyn
Some kind of grudge.
Dahlia
Does it say the killers’ names?
Kaitlyn
This website doesn’t, but let me run another search.
A few minutes later, Kaitlyn opens a group text with Dahlia and Aimee.
Kaitlyn
Alright you guys, the game’s up.
Kaitlyn
The girls in the article are Harper Newtown, Cassidy Scott, and Anna Portford.
Kaitlyn
Your sorority sisters.
Kaitlyn
And when Aimee sent me the Bloody Jane message…
Kaitlyn
She told me someone in her sorority died because they didn’t play along.
Kaitlyn
Lol. Not one of those girls is dead.
Kaitlyn
You almost had me.
Kaitlyn
Well, you told me that you were being stalked on a cliff!
Kaitlyn
That Teddy was dead!!
Dahlia
Haha, yeah — that was a good one.
Kaitlyn
And I can’t believe you make that whole website! It was a little much.
Aimee
Will you unlock your door now? I’m downstairs.
Kaitlyn gets a text from Dahlia. She clicks out of the group text to read it.
Dahlia
Wait, Kait — you never told me what you had to confess.
Kaitlyn
Never mind. We should talk in person.
Dahlia
But it was about Teddy, right?
Kaitlyn
Don’t worry about it.
Dahlia
He told me about you two.
Kaitlyn
Look, why don’t you come over? Aimee’s here.
Dahlia
I know she is. I can see her through the window.
Dahlia
It’s too late for Teddy. Bloody Jane doesn’t forgive.
Kaitlyn
What are you talking about?
Kaitlyn
Is Teddy actually dead?
Dahlia
It’s too late for you too.
Dahlia
You haven’t been loyal.
Kaitlyn
Oh my god. Aimee has a knife…call 911.
Dahlia
You haven’t been a good friend.
Kaitlyn
I’m dead serious! Help!!
Dahlia
Text the words or Aimee will text them for you.
Dahlia
After she kills you.
10 minutes later, Aimee picks up Kaitlyn’s phone.
Kaitlyn
Violets are blue.
Dahlia
We tried to warn you.
