Chapter 2
A.N. Yay, another chapter! If this also sucks, it's because I am coffee deprived. Either that, or I'm just not funny. I'd prefer the former. Woot!
Disclaimer: If you haven't figured out by now that no one on this site (me included ) owns The Ring/Ring Two/Ringu, then there's no hope for the human race. Not that there's a lot as it is.
Remember Saige, from the first chapter? Yeah, she's still a brilliant girl. And lucky. And the main character of this story. It's also been seven day's since we last saw her. She's sitting on her bed, staring at the television, because she remembers that seven days ago, Sadoka promised to come back in seven days, which would be today.
The TV flickered to life, all static-y and white noise-y. Then the well popped up, and Sadako's hair came over the edge, followed by her body. She stumbled toward the screen again, just like lsat time. This time, however, she reached down her shirt and pulled out a wallet, just like an old lady might do. Out of that wallet, she pulled a passport. Saige got up and went to stand beside the TV.
Sadako began crawling out of the television, and just when she got her body above the shoulders out, saige pulled the plug on the television. The screen went black, and the front half of Sadako fell to the ground.
"Eww!" Saige said, poking the half-body with a stick that just happened to be nearby. It wasn't alive, shockingly enough. Because she didn't know how she was supposed to explain half a body to her parents, she turned the TV back on and shoved Sadako's remains back in it.
"There we go!" Saige said, turning out the light and returning to her bed. The last thing she thought before falling asleep (still faster than I could ever manage) was At least this is over now, and will never happen again. Boy am I glad I'm lucky!
The Next Morning
Saige woke up happy. She was still alive, gosh darnit, and she could be happy all she wanted! She went downstairs, got the mail, and went back inside, like most people do after getting the mail.
"Bills, junk mail, junk mail, Dad's, junk mail, Mom's, junk mail, bills, junk mail, Ooh! Mine!" Saige said, dropping all the unimportant, not-her's mail on the dining room table and took her small package (that for some reason came with the morning mail and not with the UPS truck in the afternoon) up to her room to enjoy.
She opened it up and found a blank tape. Hmm... She thought. I wonder what this is about. No return address. Odd. Let's just see what it is, shall we? For some reason, she was thinking of herself as multiple people, and in the third person, but it's okay, because she was brilliant, and brilliant people are allowed to be mildly insane. She popped the tape in the VCR, because she was too strange to buy the DVD player like all the normal people.
There was static on the screen, then there was a bunch of random scenes before it returned to static. She turned off the television just as the phone was ringing. She picked it up, and a scratchy voice (different than the other scratchy voice) said "Seven days!" Before hanging up. By this point, I'm starting to seriously wonder if Saige really is brilliant, or if she's just stupid and insane enough to pass as brilliant.
Saige stood there a few minutes, remembered she needed to hang up the phone, did so, and then stood there a while longer. "Well," She said, speaking to herself again. "That sucks!" Then she went to school and commenced attempting to enjoy her last week. Though, being a minor required to go to school by the law, it wasn't all that enjoyable.
