What would just be innocent christmas shopping would be child's biggest tears as things churn for the worst.
It was just this Christmas that went by, and things were getting busy. I had to start buying presents for the whole family. I had just finished shopping, but I still needed to grab a present for my little cousin. She likes things as Peppa Pig and My Little Pony.
She really liked, and I say liked , Max & Ruby. So, when I go looking for a present, I figured something like a Max and Ruby DVD would have been perfect since she liked to watch it on a daily basis. However, Christmas meant that many of the online DVDs were sold out on most places. I went to look on eBay as well but figured I could not trust what condition the DVDs would have been in. So I was stuck in a rut for a while until that package arrived. I was at home, still scrolling for a stupid DVD until I heard the sound of something being pushed into my letterbox. I caught a hold of it before my dog did and looked at the package. It seemed to be wrapped fairly badly, with what looked like grease marks and stains on it. I open the package. Inside was something that I could not explain.
It was a Max & Ruby DVD, but I had never seen one like it online. It was like some little kid had drawn on the front cover with a marker. The title was just, "MAX AND RUBY", with what looked like a poorly drawn illustration of Max and Ruby on the front. There were no names or anything, but on the back, it had a list of 4 episodes, all with blunt titles. I quickly gave the DVD a watch over. To my surprise, all the episodes were in perfect quality and seemed to have no flaws. It was as if it was a real DVD, just with a homemade cover. The only thing I thought appeared odd was the episode menu screen. The episodes had names, but they were all titled "MAX AND RUBY 1" with the numbers being changed as it went down the list. The actual selection screen was just a plain white screen with black text and nothing else.
After giving it much thought, I change the cover to something a little nicer by printing out a DVD cover that I had found on Google and tracked down, and the names of the episodes so they were labeled correctly. So i left the episode list screen alone because I figured it was self-explanatory.
Christmas went by, and things were fine. I gave my little cousin her DVD and she was happy with it all through Christmas, but that was only because she hadn't watched it yet.
On Boxing Day, the family had gone out for lunch and left me to babysit my cousin. I was not too bothered about being left at home. I figured now was a good ocassion to put on the DVD for her. I had put the DVD in and allowed it to play, while I was in the kitchen eating my dinner. From what I could hear, she had watched episodes 1 to 3 so far. I was just about to finish off my noodles when I heard my cousin screaming from the other room. Dropping everything, I had run into the living room and saw my cousin curled up on the floor screaming. I had looked up at the TV and I felt my heart in my throat. It had to be the most disturbing thing I had ever seen, and it must have been on screen for at least twenty seconds before the screen went black and our television set turned off, which alone was weird because TVs don't usually turn off by themselves. I was able to calm my cousin down, telling her it wasn't real, and she had just had a nightmare as she had fallen asleep in front of the TV. However, I knew in my mind it was completely real.
My parents had rung me up and told me they were going to be out all night, so this was going to be the best opportunity to look at this DVD more closely. I didn't mention it to them, and as soon as they hung up I grabbed the DVD before opening it on my laptop. As soon as it loaded, I noticed that "Episode_0004" had now been replaced with, " R.I.P. MOMMY AND DADDY", which sent a deep chill down my back. Since my cousin was now asleep, I plugged in my earbuds so she can sleep without having to hear anything. This is what I found.
