Disclaimer: I do not own either Yu Yu Hakusho, The Rig (a kewl movie) or
Cheyenne ((she belongs to Cheyenne)). I do however own Midnight ((who will
be making an appearance)) and Samantha.
A/N: This plot bunny wouldn't leave me alone so I had to write this chappie. I just watched 'The Ring' and know I probabaly will write few chappies about it. If you haven't seen the movie don't worry.
Chapter 3: The tape
"Here," a girl wiht long blonde hair said, frantically as she shoved the black videotape into her hands. "Watch it as soon as you get home," she said quickly and ran off.
Samantha studied the videotape that had just been shoved into her hands by a complete stranger. On the side was a small sticker that wasn't put on right and said copy. On the front in red letters were the words 'THE RING'.
After inspecting it Samantha thought it was safe but she was still unsure. She decided to play it, after all what harm ever came from watching a video tape she thought. ((What harm ever came from reading a book? *You all know how that went* ^Think 'The Mummy^))
So she went home and popped the video tape into the VCR and pressed the PLAY button. Snow popped onto the screen. Samantha reached for the STOP button when disturbing images filled the screen. She was frozen in place with her hand just millimeters from the stop button. The clock chimed four times as the tape finishedand she was released form it's spell.
The phone rang shrilly and Samantha scrambled up to answer it.
"You will die in seven days," the voice said and hung up. Samantha nearly dropped the phone in horror. Could it be connected in any way to the mysterious tape? She slammed the phone back down on it's hook it was just a prank call. That just happened after you watched the tape? A voice in her head told her.
She shook it off, it didn't make any sense. Tapes could not kill you. Maybe Makai tapes could, the voice of reason said again. Samantha pressed the EJECT button and grabbed the tape. She felt the urge to throw it out a window but something stopped her. She needed to find out the mystery of the tape. It may be her only hope for survival. Sometime between the phone call and her ejecting the tape she had convinced herself that it wasn't just a joke. But a very dangerous situation indeed.
The phone rang again, interrupting her train of thought. Samantha looked at the phone and took a step back, almost as if it was going to explode.
She shook off her fear and grabbed the phone. Her hand was shaking as was her voice when she said "Hello?"
"Did you watch it?" the voice on the other end of the line said.
"What?" she asked.
"The tape did you watch it?" the voice said again.
"Yes, why? Did you make the call?" Samantha demanded.
"No, I got the same call when a stranger pushed the tape into my hands. The only way to live more than seven days is to make someone else watch the tape," the girl exlained.
"So the phone call is real," she asked, her voice shaking slightly.
"Yes, if you don't pass it on you will die. She will kill you. And before you die you see...The Ring," the girl said and hung up.
Samantha just stood there holding the phone, listining to the dial tone. She dropped it and sat on the couch. What did she mean, before you die you see the ring? She asked herself. I'm in over my head, she relaised. I need help. So she got up off of the couch and picked up the phone and dialed Cheyenne's number.
"Ello," Cheyenne's voice said, coming from the other line. Cheyenne was an expert on urban legends. And if this wasn't one, then what was? Only, unlike the legend of the Axe murderer this one was real.
"Cheyenne what do you know about a tape that kills you seven days after you watch it?" Samantha asked.
"That's one of my favorites. The tale is that a stranger will shove a tape into your hands and tell you to watch it. You do and it starts out like a nightmare then there's this woman and she looks at you through the TV screen and then after it's over you get a phone call saying you will die in seven days. Someone knows you watched the tape. Then in exactally seven days you do die," she explained.
"Umm...how do you die?" she asked, gulping.
"Well no one knows. They're all dead but they say...."
"Before you die you see The Ring,"
"How do you know that?"
"Because that urban legend, well.....it isn't a legend anymore. It's real. And I'm going to die in seven days," Samantha said, sadly.
A/N: Well what do you think??? Scary right??? Please review. Oh yeah and Samara is my favorite character in The Ring so she will definsately be making an appearance before seven days are up. After I finish this arc I'm going to do another Ring centric story. Only it deals not with the tape but with a well and Anna. I'm not telling you anymore. REVIEW. Or I will sick my EVIL Plot Bunnies on you. *shudders* Plot Bunnies a writer's worst nightmare.
