5 DAYS EARLIER
Is this the number for Ada Woods?
Who’s this?
My name is Adam.
It’s extremely important I contact Ada.
About what?
I need to know it’s you first. I’m sorry.
Umm…I’M sorry…
but it doesn’t work that way.
It has to. I don’t have a lot of time.
I can’t stay in one place very long.
I’m being followed
I need to contact Ada
before it’s too late
too late for what?
this is Ada btw
listen carefully Ada
i know you’re different
what do you mean?
you’re not like other people, are you?
I guess you could say that
i know why you were born different, Ada
and people want to kill you because of it.
Whoa. Hit the brakes, creeper.
And know that my dad has guns.
Lots of guns.
I’m not a creep, I promise.
That’s what all the creeps say.
I swear. I’m just 15 years old. About your age.
We met once…but you won’t remember me.
We did? What do you look like?
I have purple eyes. Like you.
Wrong.
I’d remember meeting a boy with purple eyes.
It’s difficult to explain how we know each other.
I don’t think you’d believe me if I just told you.
Well it can’t get much worse…
Considering I don’t believe a word you’ve said so far.
Try me.
I’m messaging you from the future.
okay WOW
you were right
bye bye creeper boy
Ada please. You have to listen to me!
I’m telling you the truth.
I’m trapped underground
And there’s something down here with me
Something… hunting me
I have spent my entire life underground
I was born here
this is the only world I’ve ever known
and I thought I was the only one like me
but then I saw you
with purple eyes
saw me where?
down here
where is here? What the hell are you talking about??
I told you – underground
I’ve lived down here with my dad and my Uncle Noah for 15 years
They were scientists
Brilliant scientists
My dad, Seth, created things you would never believe
why the past tense?
I think my dad and Uncle Noah are dead
the last time I saw my dad
he was acting really weird
he gave me this communication device
the one I’m using to message you
and he told me something…disturbing
he said if he didn’t return
that I should use this device to contact your world
and warn everyone
here we go again…
please listen Ada!
something terrible is about to happen
I need you to warn your people
Your life depends on it.
And these could be the last messages I ever send.
You should have sprung for unlimited on your plan.
I don’t understand.
And I don’t care.
Please, I want to help you.
Seems like YOU need the help. Not me.
You’re wrong.
When you locked me in here, I thought I would be able to get out.
But I haven’t been able to…
STOP TEXTING ME CREEP
So I’m stuck down here with that THING…
I stand corrected. You’re not a creep, you’re a fucking nutter.
Goodbye, nutter.
Ada, please don’t go!
I’m not crazy!
How do you know my name? Did Emma put you up to this?
I don’t know Emma. I only know you now.
The point is, I may die down here…
so this is the only way to warn you.
Warn me about what?
Hold on.
I hear it again
it’s close.
I have to go
What’s close?
Go where?
Hello??
Jesus… Why am I even trying to talk to you?
Are you still there?
Yes. But don’t ask me why.
That was close. That THING…
he’s so fast.
What the fuck are you rambling about?
Ada, you have to be careful. Don’t be so reckless with it.
You can’t let it kill you.
All righty then. I’ll try not to, crackhead.
in the meantime… I’m gonna go…
You just keep running away from your little monster or whatever.
No, you have it wrong.
I’m not running away from it.. im trying to catch it..
and kill it...
Before it kills you.
Wow. Okay. Congratulations, psycho…
You just became the only person I’ve ever blocked.
Right after I delete your ass.
Ada, no! It’s going to hurt you!
bye bye
