💍Episode 1 Script:  The Necklace.

The Bride Who Wept Blood

By Grace Antiedu

In the village of Nkar, tucked between mountains and mist, there was a necklace made of red glass beads; beads so bright, they were said to glow under moonlight.

It was passed down from mother to daughter, always on the eve of a wedding.

And every woman who wore it was said to die within a year.

The first was Cecilia.

A joyful bride, full of laughter, married at nineteen. Her mother gave her the necklace on her wedding night, whispering that it had been in their family for generations.

Three months later, Cecilia was found drowned in the river. No wounds. No explanation. The necklace was gone.

The second was her daughter, Agnes.

Agnes wore it reluctantly, warned by old stories but too afraid to dishonor tradition. She married a man from the city, full of dreams and promises. Six months into the marriage, she collapsed during a church service -blood streaming from her eyes.

Doctors said it was an aneurysm.

The villagers said it was the necklace.

It was passed on once more, this time to a girl named Eliza, Agnes’ daughter. But Eliza was different.

She didn’t believe in curses.

Until the night she wore the necklace and woke up with blood on her pillow.

Not hers.
