Kayla (A Scary Story)

Kayla is the main protagonist of Bloody of Mary, the second episode of the Roblox 2020 anthonology horror game A Scary Story 2. 
She is a young girl who was playing Truth or Dare with her friends, Sarah and Lily. When it was her turn, she was forced to choose Dare, resulting in them daring her to play the Bloody Mary game. However, they would unintentionally cause her to suffer from hallucinations where she sees Bloody Mary in every mirror of the house, which would lead to her becoming mentally insane to the point she is sent to a hospital.
== Appearance ==
Kayla has long brown hair and a blue pajama. When at the hospital, she wears a patient outfit.
== Personality ==
Kayla is a reluctant, but calm girl who knows that playing the Bloody Mary game is not a good idea, even if her friends dare her to do so, though she briefly has courage before the game began, as she accepted to do the dare she was given. However, she quickly becomes traumatized and mentally insane, seeing Bloody Mary stalking her through the mirrors and causing multiple paranormal events to her friends, like trapping Sarah in the mirror and turning Lily into a monster in her nightmares. Despite being hospitalized for her hallucinations, she still thinks that who she sees are not the real people she usually knew, even running out of the hospital due to this.
== Biography ==
=== Truth or Dare ===
Kayla is first seen with Sarah and Lily in her room, playing a game of Truth or Dare. Initially choosing Truth, her friends tell her to not be so boring, forcing her to choose Dare instead. They then dare her to do the Bloody Mary ritual, but Kayla is reluctant, asking them if they aren't a bit too old for it. Sarah tells her to not make excuses, as she knows that she is simply scared. Kayla says that she isn't scared and Lily tells her to do the ritual correctly. She then goes on to find the four candles in the kitchen and place them inside the bathroom, in front of the mirror, turning off all of the lights and closing all the doors, allowing the ritual to begin.
=== The Ritual ===
Kayla then repeats "Bloody Mary" three times in front of the mirror (as it is how the ritual usually works in folklore), causing Bloody Mary to appear behind her (though only in her reflection), scaring her to the point of believing she is actually real. She then attempts to open the door, but it is locked. Struggling to open the door in fear due to what she had seen, she eventually hears Lily laughing at her for being scared, making Kayla hate her and Sarah for what she suffered, but they both tell her that it was simply a game and they did not know she would get that scared. Kayla tells them that Bloody Mary was real, but Lily and Sarah do not believe her, as they then all go to bed, with Lily promising to watch during the night so Bloody Mary won't come for them.
=== The Nightmare ===
Later at night, Kayla wakes up, wanting to go to the bathroom as she can't spend the rest of her life avoiding it. However, when arriving in the bathroom, she sees that the whole atmosphere around her has faded to a red color, scaring her. As she tries to go back inside her bedroom, she notices several crows flying through her window, as well as Lily, who has woken up. Kayla then tells Lily to help her, as she doesn't know what is happening to her. However, Lily does not respond and her body bends over, seemingly turning her into a monster that chases Kayla around. When she catches up to Kayla or she manages to escape through the white void, she immediately wakes up, realizing that the whole event was just a nightmare she had in her sleep.
Lily, having heard her screaming, asks her what is wrong. Kayla tells her that she had a nightmare where she turned into some kind of monster and chased her. Lily then tells her that she will be leaving soon, as her mother will soon pick her up. Sarah seemed to have left in a hurry, as she was supposed to go to the bathroom but never returned. As Lily leaves, however, Kayla hears banging noises coming from the bathroom. Much to her horror, she notices Sarah banging inside the mirror, crying for help. Kayla then attempts to save her by shattering the mirror. However, Kayla's mom heard the noise and went to the bathroom, where she is shocked that the mirror is broken. Kayla tells her that Sarah was trapped inside the mirror, but she doesn't believe her and instead tells her to calm down and ask what is going on. Kayla then goes inside her room, where she finds Sarah trapped behind the mirror again, causing her to shatter the mirror again, despite her mom's attempts at calming her down.
Kayla then goes down to the basement, where she finds Sarah trapped behind a larger mirror, noticing Bloody Mary appearing on top of the stairs. As Sarah goes towards her, Kayla begs her to stay away from her, but to no avail. She then breaks the mirror one last time, causing her mom to send her to the hospital to be treated for her hallucinations. Much to her shock, she notices that Sarah is still alive and well, despite seeing her in the mirror earlier. However, she thinks that the Sarah she sees is an imposter. As Sarah leaves the room, Kayla goes after her, despite the doctors trying to stop her from leaving. Arriving at the restroom, Sarah tells her that Bloody Mary is waiting for her. Kayla then goes through the mirror to encounter Bloody Mary for the final time, as she is finally seen crying, with Bloody Mary seemingly comforting her.
== Trivia ==
* It is heavily implied that the ritual Sarah and Lily dared her to do was mainly the cause of her hallucinations and her insanity, therefore kickstarting the events of the story.
