A/N: This takes place awhile later after the ring when Adriana Langston finds the tape in a restroom. I do not own anyone but Adriana Langston, Calyn and Andrew. [Possibly more characters in upcoming chapters.]
Adriana Langston tucked a strand of raven black hair behind her ear while picking up the mysterious, unlabeled tape. She slowly began pushing the tape into the VCR when the phone rang abruptly.
Adriana slowly moved her way over to the phone and picked it up. She had heard the many rumors of the black tape and to her misfortune, she found it and was dared to watch it. Of course, she didn't believe any of this. The deaths that were supposedly caused by the tape were probably just some sort of freak accident and coincidence.
"Hello?" Adriana said into the phone.
A raspy voice replied, "Seven days.."
"Ha ha! I haven't even watched the tape yet!" Adriana laughed; knowing it was a prank.
"Oh, damn. Well, are you going to watch it or not?" A voice replied.
"You're stupid, Calyn." Adriana said, realizing her best friend, Calyn Bales' voice. "But anyways, I was just about to watch it. I don't see why no one else could watch it with me; you all are a bunch of chickens!"
"No, we're just too scared to watch this tape. Well, I'll let you go watch the tape now. Good luck!" Calyn said, hanging up.
Adriana walked back to the VCR and slowly pushed the tape in and pressed play. She sat back as the tape began to play.
A fuzzy screen.
A glowing ring.
Bloody water being splashed.
A single chair.
A figure standing in front of a mirror.
A girl with long, black hair in a white dress.
A needle covered in blood.
A man standing at a window gazing out.
A fly fluttering about the screen.
Intestines are being pulled out of a horse's mouth.
A head in a plastic bag.
A ball of light.
A well with it's lid slowly coming off.
A bloody hand reaching out of the well.
A crescent moon.
A burning tree.
A nail going through a finger.
Maggots.
A centipede.
A goat.
A horse's eye.
A well.
Seven fingers wiggling around in a box.
Another burning tree.
The same head in a plastic bag.
A woman standing in front of a mirror while combing her hair.
The same woman turning to smile.
A window.
A chair spinning on a ceiling.
A ladder standing up straight.
Dead horses lying on a seashore.
The same woman who brushed her hair earlier, falling off of a cliff.
That ladder that was standing was being viewed from a bird's-eye view.
A lid sliding over a well.
The same ladder spun and fell to the floor.
The outside of a well is being shown.
Static fills the screen.
Adriana stared at the screen, her stomach churning from all of the disgusting images. The phone ran abruptly, making Adriana jump and scream. She slowly walked over to the phone, her hand shaking as she picked it up.
"H- Hello?" Adriana stuttered.
"Seven days.." A raspy voice said.
"Calyn, stop being a bitch! This isn't funny!" Adriana said as the other line went dead. Adriana's eyes widened as she quickly dialed Calyn's number.
"Hello?" A cheery voice answered.
"Calyn, did you just call?" Adriana asked, fear filled her voice.
"No, did you watch the movie yet?"
"Yes, it was horrible! So disgusting! But someone called right after I watched it."
"What did they say?" Calyn asked with curiosity.
"Seven days."
"Oh, man.. It's not a rumor then, is it? Man Adriana, leave it to you to find a stupid, cursed tape in a restroom."
"I should have just put it down, I probably would have! But Andy told me about the tape and dared me to watch it! You know me, Calyn. You know I don't back down on dares." Adriana groaned.
"You know, it probably is just a joke. I bet it is. I bet some stupid high school kid decided to make some fucked up movie and make up some stupid little rumor about it."
"Yeah, but who called me? And how did they know when to call?"
"Andy! He probably was outside of your window, watching you while you watched the tape and once he saw it was over, he called you!" Calyn said.
"Well, whatever, I'm going to go to bed. Meet me at the mall tomorrow at noon, k?" Adriana asked.
"Yep, sure, bye!" Calyn replied hanging up.
Adriana changed into her pajamas and quickly got into bed. The images from the tape drifted through her mind as she fell into a deep sleep.
Adriana sat in a spinning chair; maggots squirmed around her feet. A horse stood in front of her while it's intestine's piled in her lap. Blood gushed onto her chest. The chair began spinning. A bag was placed over her head while she tumbled into a well. She scraped at the sides of the well, fingernails being ripped off.
Adriana woke up, sweat ran down the sides of her face, her body tangled in the sheets. She glanced over at the clock that read 4:43 AM. She rubbed her hands over her face, attempting to recall the messed up dream. She rolled over onto her side and slowly went back to sleep.
