Ella
U there? I'm in trouble.
Jacob
I'm here. What’s up? Are you ok?
Ella
No. I'm in serious trouble.
Jacob
Why? Where are you?
Ella
I think I've been kidnapped.
Jacob
That doesn’t make any sense. Keep trying!
Ella
I’ve tried so many times!
Ella
I can't make any noise. I hear people. Strange sounds.
Ella
There’s blood in my hair. My head hurts. But I’m ok.
Jacob
I'll call 911. Tell me where you are.
Ella
I don't know. I just woke up here.
Jacob
How did you get there?
Ella
I don't know! I was knocked out.
Jacob
What's the last thing you remember?
Jacob
Did you stop somewhere?
Ella
All I remember is someone screaming.
Jacob
Were you in a car accident?
Ella
Jacob, I'm telling you I don't know!
Jacob
You may have a concussion.
Jacob
You’re not making any sense.
Ella
OMG!!! I hear someone screaming. Pls help me!
Jacob
Describe where you are.
Ella
Some kind of basement. Bare walls. Smells like chemicals.
Jacob
Maybe a chemical plant. Nearest one is on the edge of town.
Ella
I'm going to die here, aren't I?
Jacob
No you are not. Don't say that!
Jacob
Ella – what’s going on?
Ella
Had to run. Safe now. Something chased me. Couldn't see it. Only heard it.
Ella
Don't know. These walls look like stone. Rough. And it's hot as hell.
Jacob
Are there tanks? Vats? Anything with symbols or a logo on them?
Jacob
I called 911 but they can't send anyone unless they know where you are.
Jacob
Jesus, Ella. Please give me something to work with here?
Ella
It's darker here. Chemical smell is stronger. Gross - like rotten eggs.
Ella
Screams coming from below.
Jacob
There must be a sub-basement. Do you see stairs?
Ella
There is so much screaming! What is this place?! So scared.
Jacob
You’re going to be ok.
Ella
Something's rumbling. Getting louder. Ground is vibrating.
Jacob
Do you SEE anything like a kiln or a furnace?
Ella
No but it's getting hotter…
Jacob
Look for a way out.
Ella
I’m sorry about last night.
Jacob
Don't worry about that now.
Ella
I want to tell you something.
Jacob
Just look for a way out.
Ella
If I'm going to die I want to explain.
Jacob
Stop. YOU ARE NOT GOING TO DIE.
Ella
I wanted you to kiss me last night but I was scared.
Jacob
Tell me later. LOOK FOR A WAY OUT!!!
Ella
I liked you for a long time. REALLY liked you.
Ella
But I didn't want you to get too close.
Jacob
What are you talking about?
Ella
I'm not a good person.
Jacob
Not true. You are awesome.
Jacob
Please stop. Figure out where you are so you can get out!
Ella
At my old school…I did something terrible. It's hard to talk about.
Ella
Some girls and I used to pick on a kid named Lisa.
Ella
She didn't have any friends or family. She came from no money. She had nothing.
Ella
One day we shut her in a locker and pulled the fire alarm.
Ella
It was an hour before they found her screaming.
Jacob
Stupid prank. You aren’t the first to do something like that.
Ella
No, you don’t understand.
Ella
She was claustrophobic.
Ella
When they got her out…
Ella
Her hands were ripped and bleeding from where she tried to claw her way out.
Ella
But it was her mind we really damaged.
Jacob
Wow… I mean - that's pretty messed up but it's not like you killed her.
Ella
Two weeks later, they found her dead in bed.
Ella
She died in her sleep, of a heart attack.
Jacob
You can't blame yourself for that.
Ella
But I can. And, I do – blame myself.
Ella
I killed her with meanness.
Ella
The saddest part is we were best friends as kids. We used to play Barbies every weekend.
Ella
Maybe I deserve whatever is happening to me.
Jacob
Ella, stop. You are not being punished.
Ella
My parents made me switch schools. You were nice to me my first day.
Ella
I wanted to tell you about what happened but was scared you would hate me.
Jacob
I could never hate you.
Ella
I'm going to hell for this.
Jacob
STOP. PLEASE STOP. You are not going to hell.
Ella
I’m glad I told you at least.
Jacob
I'm going to find you. Ok?
Ella
I don't think you can.
Jacob
Your picture is on news.
Jacob
It says you were in a car accident…
Jacob
They said you’re...
Ella
Jake, please? Christ, it feels like the building is on fire now!
Ella
OH GOD, PLEASE! IT’S SO HOT. IT HURTS SO BAD!
Ella
I FEEL LIKE I’M BURNING ALIVE!!
Ella
PLEASE, JAKE. HELP ME! IT’S COMING FOR ME!!!
But there was nothing Jake could do to save Ella.
As soon as she confessed her sin, the devil came for her.
And Ella went straight to hell.
