Frankie, a respectable, sensible and motivated eighteen year
old girl who has been bought up from a troubled past, as only four years ago her adopted sister
went missing and was found dead. However all will be revealed when she decides
to throw a house party for herself and twin sister Amy’s birthday as their
parents have gone away for the weekend and left them with some money. The party
begins at 8pm and by 8:30pm the house is crowded with untamed, intoxicated
teenagers; it begins to get out of hand
as people start meddling around with her parent’s possessions and passing out
on the floor, in which Frankie and Amy decides to call of the party.
Eventually, the only people left at the house is Frankie and Amy’s 5 closest
friends who have planned to stay round her house for the night, after cleaning
the house top to bottom they all decide to play a game of spin the bottle,
along with truth or dare as they think this will be a fun game to play on the
night of their birthday. Unknowingly this could be there last night to simply
lead their ordinary lives, as after this night, everything changes, but changes
for the worst.
The fifth round of playing truth or dare, it lands on
Frankie who picks truth. Her closest friend from childhood, Chelsea who is in
fact the drunkest decides to ask her the question of what’s the story behind
her little sister going missing four years ago. The rest of the group of
friends tell Chelsea that she is being out of order and Frankie should just take
no notice of her. However, after Frankie has flashbacks of her and her sister, Frankie
begins telling the story of her pure hatred for her adopted sister, Ruby. The
little girl joined Frankie’s family when she was six years old, but never felt
the warmth and love that she essentially wanted from her sister, instead she
was left to play alone, and as though she did not feel welcome in the home of
this family as Frankie use to try her best to make her feel uncomfortable and unwanted,
as she was in fact jealous and afraid that her adopted sister would get all the
attention from her beloved parents. The little girl went missing on October 10th
2009 at 10:58pm after arguing with Frankie. Whilst explaining the story, twin sister Amy has
left the room to get more drinks. At this point, Frankie let the group of
friends on a little secret, containing the curse for the return of Ruby.
Frankie had known her adopted sister had a cure to her biological family, which
no one else in the family were aware of. The group of friends were convinced
this weren’t true, and started to laugh at Frankie. This then had frustrated
Frankie, to which she replied to the group of friends, ‘we will see for our
self’. At this point, the group of friends held hands, and repeated the curse
three times, which was essentially, ‘Ruby, Ruby, Ruby’. At this point, nothing
had happened, which left Frankie quite confused. This then led to the teenagers
feeling worn out, and they all headed up to bed.
During the night, Frankie hears her sister Amy calling her
from downstairs. Whilst she is half way down the stairs, she hears a voice
shouting out for her, in which she believes is her sister calling her name from
downstairs in the kitchen, which is what causes her to rush down there.
However, as she is on her way down, she hears and sees her sister Amy calling
her from the top of the steps, which bewilders her. She is convinced she is
still half asleep and hearing things, however deep down inside she is sure the
curse has been broken, and Ruby has returned.
The next morning is a normal day; however the atmosphere
within the friendship group isn’t at its usual. The group of friends aren’t as
bubbly and aren’t joking around as much as they used to. They however all suggest
to each other they are fine, and are just suffering a hangover. Frankie is now
fully aware that something has changed from the night of her and sister Amy’s
birthday, although she does not know what lies ahead, but sooner or later she
will come to find out that her sister has come back to seek revenge, and won’t
be leaving until she has accomplished this.
The following evening, she decides to meet up with her
friends again in the local park near her house at around 9pm. When they arrive
at the park, one of the friends has bought a few bottles of alcohol, suggesting
that they should drink as they think this will be ‘fun’. At around 10pm they
have all finished the bottles and decide to go for a walk up the hill, whilst
walking up the pathway, they begin to hear noises and footsteps, Frankie
advises that they all head back to hers as it seems to be as though they are
not alone but perhaps being followed, as she becomes more and more aware that
sister Ruby has returned, but is finding it hard to believe. The rest of the
group sense that she is beginning to get frightened but yet carry on walking up
the pathway, as they walk they begin to get more out of sight from the park, to
their surprise they end up next to a church in a grave yard. One of the friends
suggest that they all sit up here, but as they are about to sit down they hear
a deafening scream which instantly frightens them all, they begin to run
towards the pathway, but when Frankie looks back, she sees a girl in exactly
the same place in which they were standing who happens to be peering right back
at her and wearing a white night dress in which she seems to recognise, she
then screams and tells them to all run back down and head towards her house.
They eventually make it to Frankie’s and Amy’s house and all
congregate around together in the living room; Frankie begins telling them
about the girl she saw at the graveyard. At this point the lights go off and
they hear a loud banging at the window. The teenagers assume that one of them
is playing a joke as it could be a ideal moment to panic them after the
incident at the graveyard, so therefore do not take the banging at the window
seriously until one of the friends, Chelsea opens the window herself and sees a
girl staring back at her with blood on her face, she begins screaming and this
is when the teenagers realise that something weird is going on and they are
being followed as the girl at the window disappears. They then begin to hear
noises coming from upstairs, but it is Frankie’s music box playing which is
what Ruby use to play with when she was little, from hearing this, Frankie
instantly figures out what is going on and tells the group that she thinks her
adopted sister has come back to haunt them after what she had told them, and
insists they believe her about the cure. This is all new to Amy, who hasn’t got
a clue what exactly is going on until sister Frankie explains, leaving Amy
angry and terrified. They all then begin to tremble fearfully at the thought of
this as they simply do not know what to do, as though they are trapped and
cannot escape.
As the teens are still finding it hard to believe and get
their heads around the situation, they soon come up with a suggestion, that two
of them should drive out to the police station, seeing as it is just around the
corner, and none of them can seem to get any signal. As the two head out to the
police station, Frankie watches as they drive on. However, Frankie suddenly quickly
catches a glimpse of her sister Ruby waving to her in the back of the car, who
then whispers ‘boo’. Frankie speedily tries to run after the car, and pleads
for them to stop. They don’t seem to see or hear her, and carry on driving. Frankie
is quick to run back to the house, and let the others know what she has seen. Frankie
knows that they have no hope, and tells the others they all need to get out of
the house as soon as possible. As the group head out the front door, they all
stop to see a figure that is staring back at them in the distance. To all of
their surprise, they see its Laurens sister, Ruby. The group panic, and head
towards a park. However, on their way, they discover their friends’ car that
has crashed. As Frankie and her friend slowly approach the car, they shockingly
discover their two friends have been brutally murdered. As much to their
horror, there is no time to stop, as anyone of them could be next.
As the group continues to run, they end up in the field,
which then leads them into the forest. As they all struggle their way through the
forest, they all eventually find themselves alone and lost. The group call out for each other, yet
receive no response. One of the friends named Jay finds himself a hiding place
where he thinks he will be safe. Whilst
he is hiding here, he assumes he can hear his friend calling out for him, in
which he comes out of hiding, and responds back to his friend. Little does he
know, it was in fact Ruby calling out for him in his friend’s voice. This had
baffled Jay, who then starts to run. He can hear Ruby skipping and laughing
behind him as he hurriedly tries to run. He soon stops to see where she has
gone. As he begins to look around him, he struggles to see Ruby anymore, yet
can still hear her giggles all around him. As he turns around, much to Jay’s
surprise, there Ruby is standing in front of him who then whispers ‘Boo’, which
then leads her to killing him by slashing his throat.
The rest of the group are still struggling to find each
other as they all continue to shout out for each other, after hearing their
friend Jay screaming to death. The group being to panic as they are no longer
receiving a response from their friends, and instead are hearing the sound of
branches and leafs crunching all around them. They begin to hear and see a
young little girl skipping in between the trees in the Forrest, and straight
away assume its Ruby. As one of the friends Chelsea finds herself running
through the Forrest as she is frightened of the noises she is hearing, her
torch starts to run out of battery, which leads to her see nothing but
darkness. She stops to hide to try and solve this problem. Chelsea is however
unaware of the fact Ruby is slowly approaching towards her from behind, with a
rope. As Chelsea’s flash light is constantly flickering due to her low
batteries, she is unaware Ruby is in fact circling her with a knife in her
hand, ready to kill her. Suddenly, her light starts to work again, and finds
her boyfriend Trey standing in front of her. Chelsea is delighted at this
point, to however then be horrified to see Ruby running up behind boyfriend
Trey, brutally murdering him. Chelsea then starts to run, until a point she
trips over a log, and falls to the ground. She then hides inside a bush,
waiting anxiously, to then to her horror get dragged out of the bush, leading
to her death.
This then sadly leaves Frankie and Amy fighting for
survival. As they both are fully aware all their friends have been murdered,
they try head out of the woods to find a different location. Frankie seems to
know what she is doing, and where she is going, therefore Amy is happy to
follow. Much to Amy’s surprise, Frankie leads them back into the grave yard. Frankie
gives Amy match sticks, and suggests they both have a source of light in case
they split up. As the two are hiding behind a grave stone, Frankie tries to
calm her sister down as she is still new and shocked to this history behind her
adopted sister. Little do the pair know, they are in fact hiding behind sister
Ruby’s grave stone, in which Ruby is also hiding on the other side, waiting to finally
kill off her adopted sisters. As Amy notices her first, Amy tries her hardest
to push Frankie out of the way, as Ruby is in a position where she is ready to
viciously kill her sister with an Axe. Instead, Amy gets punished for this, as
she is trying to save her friend, and is horridly killed.
Frankie is furious and angry that her twin sister has just
been killed, and tries to hunt adopted sister Ruby down, anxiously shouting
‘come on, show yourself, you’ve got me’. Which at this point, Frankie notices sister Ruby
standing in a distance. They gradually get closer to each other, and Frankie
begins to break down in tears shouting and screaming as to why she took her
sister Amy away from her, in which Ruby replies, ‘because you took my life’.
This frustrated Frankie, in which she aggressively pushes sister Ruby, and
believes she, has fallen down into the lake. This then leaves Frankie relived
and repeat to herself ‘good riddance’. Frankie then hurries through the
graveyard, trying to find some help. She is then led to an area where she is
unable to see anything, which she then finds matches in her pocket. At first
she struggles to light it, to which at her second attempt she manages to light
one. Suddenly, much to Frankie’s horror, sister Ruby is in fact alive, where
she the blows out Frankie’s match stick, to which she then says ‘Boo’.
