Rachel peered away from the TV and stared at Aiden.
"Rachel, what will happen to the people we show it to?" Aiden asked again.
"I'm not sure baby, not sure at all," Rachel replied without paying any attention. "Go to bed, Aiden. I'll think of something tomorrow."
"But tomorrow's my last day," Aiden said.
"Oh my god," Rachel said. "Why didn't you tell me this earlier!?"
"Because you didn't ask," Aiden retorted.
Rachel froze in pure terror. She stared and stared at the video tape wondering how she'll ever save Aiden. Finally, Rachel thinks of a way. A way that was cruel, but it could save her beloved son. She went to the asylum the next day with the video tape in her purse.
"Please, I'd like to speak with someone who is suicidal," Rachel requested to the attendant.
"Why?" he asked back.
"Because.I'm a reporter, and I'm doing a report on suicide," Rachel lied quickly.
"Why don't you just ask a doctor? I'm sure he or she will be happy to answer all your questions, "the attendant offered.
"I'm sorry, but speaking with a patient of that nature would probably enhance the nature of the report and give the outside world a better understanding and concern of this disease," Rachel said convincingly.
"Fine. Let's see.Becca hasn't gotten many visitors after that other reporter visited her a few weeks ago. Say, you kinda look like her," the attendant pointed out.
"No, I've never visited an asylum in my life," Rachel lied again.
"Ok.whatever. Go to Becca's room, A512. You have 1 hour," the attendant ordered.
"Thanks," Rachel said.
Rachel walked down the halls of the asylum hearing things she thought she would only hear in a nightmare. As she neared A512, Rachel remembered that Becca was her niece's best friend who became insane after her niece died. "No!" She thought. "I can't kill her, but if I don't I won't be able to save Aiden." She stood outside the door of A512 thinking for five minutes. Rachel went in.
Becca was sitting at the table drawing pictures. Rachel entered, and Becca jumped and went to her bed in shock. Rachel tried to calm Becca, but Becca claimed that Rachel was supposed to be dead. Rachel explained everything and cooled Becca down. Then, Rachel came to say what she wanted to say.
"Do you remember Aiden?" Rachel asked Becca. "He was also one of Katie's best friends."
"Yeah, I remember," Becca responded.
"Aiden watched the tape," Rachel choked out.
"What?! Are you serious?! How?! When?!" Becca asked.
"A week ago, he said he couldn't sleep and watched my copy," Rachel said in tears. "In about 3 hours she's going to come."
"What do you want me to do?" Becca asked.
"I want you to watch the tape and die for Aiden," Rachel said.
Becca drew back. She knew either her or Aiden's life was at stake.
"Ok, I know I'm not exactly the sane of all people, but I'll do it for Aiden," Becca said. "Right now, I am sane, too sane. Give me the tape."
Rachel handed the tape to Becca slowly, and her hand trembled.
"Don't worry. I know another way to save Aiden without giving my life," Becca said strangely. Rachel looked at her oddly.
"How do you think I did it the first time?" Becca asked.
"What?!" Rachel said.
"You take the copy, and throw it in the well at the lodge. When the next guests in Cabin 12 turn on the TV for the first time, the video will play instead of whatever they want to watch. There will already be a tape in the VCR," Becca informed. "Go!!! Get out of here and take that tape to the lodge."
"Becca, please, tell about when you watched the tape," Rachel asked.
"Fine," Becca sighed. "I was on a trip to the mountains with 5 friends two weeks before Becca died. When we went to the lodge, we looked through their video collection, and we took a bunch of films over to our cabin. Mike took the video. He said he heard the rumors and said that we should watch the tape. Naturally, I was against the idea and wanted to leave, but my boyfriend, being the football player, grabbed my shoulders and made me sit through the whole damn thing. The 4 of them were killed, but I lived. I, like Aiden, saw Samara through my dreams. I didn't know Katie would be the next victim. I was so culpable, so I came here not knowing if I were really crazy or not. I just wanted to shut out the shitty world from me."
"Wow, thanks Becca," Rachel said. "I, too, indirectly killed Noah. I should've stopped him from watching the tape, but he wouldn't listen. I should've never told him about the tape in the first place. You and I were both bitches."
"No, you're not the bitch, I am," Becca admitted. "I started all of this. Go and take Aiden with you. Tell him to drop it down the well. It's the only way."
"I will, Becca," Rachel said firmly. "Thank you for all your help. We wouldn't have made it this long without you, but I only have 2 hours to get to the lodge."
Rachel peered away from the TV and stared at Aiden.
"Rachel, what will happen to the people we show it to?" Aiden asked again.
"I'm not sure baby, not sure at all," Rachel replied without paying any attention. "Go to bed, Aiden. I'll think of something tomorrow."
"But tomorrow's my last day," Aiden said.
