Follow-It's always the quiet ones. New kid, and instant campus crush Mary has always been the apple of everyone's curiosity, a pretty face in the corner, who disappears as soon as the bell rings. She barely makes eye contact, and barely talks to anyone, except to you, the only other person in the back seat.
-She's been dodgy in the first few days, save for a bit of small talk. Apparently she's eighteen, from ‘somewhere in Europe,’ and has a ‘strict curfew for private lessons.’ But as the weeks go by, you show a bit more concern. Sure, she still shrugs when you ask about the cuts in her forearms, which miraculously vanish the next day. But her voice grows warmer, she starts cracking jokes, and every now and then a giggle escapes her. She also starts trusting you to look after her stuff when she goes out.
-Everything else remains a mystery, until one night, under dead lights, and a flickering candle, a slumber party prank gone wrong summons her in your friend's bathroom mirror. Only this time, she looks different, her face mutilated, hair ruffled, and body jagged all over. But beyond the mess, the same, youthful, genuine glow in her eyes remains. The sight of you sets her back, as the bane of her existence now brings her to the only other being she began to trust.
-Turns out, she was once a real student, thrill seeker, top of the class, who tried to outsmart the spirit of the real Bloody Mary. She tried the ritual half an hour before sunrise, then made a run from any reflective surface, hopefully until dawn. Apparently, she wasn't smart enough, as just before dawn, she trips over a puddle, and her reflection in the water finishes the ritual, pulling her into the spirit's world.
-Her wit impressed the ghost, so from that point on, she was turned into an agent of terror, with real name now replaced of what once was believed a myth.
