In the Shoemaker house, Jenny looked around at all of the mirrors in the house. "Who needs this many damn mirrors?" She asked quietly, standing in front of one of them. "Mirror mirror show me the money." She joked as Dean slowly looked at her with a frown.
The smile on her face dropped, continuing to walk. "The Bloody Mary legend...Dad ever find any evidence that it was a real thing?"
"Not that I know of."
"Queen Mary I. The first queen regnant of England." Jenny started as the two boys turned to her. "What?"
"How much reading do you do?" Sam frowned as Jenny cleared her throat with a cheeky grin, outstretching her hand.
"Hi. Miss Know-It-All, I like to know everything about everything." When Sam didn't shake her hand, she dropped it. "Alright, there's probably hundreds of versions of Mary. The one I'm most familiar with started in the 1500's. The only reason I actually know as much as I do about Bloody Mary is because the person it's about was born in February 18th. Right after my birthday... but like five hundred years before. Anyways, Mary became an illegitimate heir after Queen Elizabeth feared she'd take over. But she eventually became queen in 1557, and around that time Bloody Mary started to become a story." Dean, Jenny and Sam walked into the bathroom as the woman continued.
"Mary supposedly got pregnant. A few months past, she was clearly showing signs but then... She never gave birth." Dean paused, turning to Jenny.
"Miscarriage?"
"Phantom pregnancy." She corrected, walking over to the mirror. "She showed all signs, but there was nothing. No fetus, no baby. Nothing."
"At the time of Mary's pregnancy, the people of England were divided between Protestants and Catholics. Mary, determined to unite her people under "the true religion" of the land, signed an act before Christmas in 1554 that resulted in the Marian Persecutions. 240 men and 60 women were sentenced as Protestants and burned at the stake, earning her the name—"
"Bloody Mary." Sam and Dean finished as Jenny snapped her fingers at them, and nodded
"You know your stuff." Dean chuckled as Jenny nodded, noticing blood on the mirror.
"I like to know what I might come into contact with." She mumbled, shrugging. "But she never became a vengeful spirit. Bloody Mary is just a folktale."
"Yeah, well, maybe everywhere it's just a story, but here it's actually happening." Dean suggested as Sam opened the medicine cabinet.
"The place where the legend began?" Sam wondered as Jenny shook her head.
"It started in England. Stories wander."
"But according to the legend, the person who says B—" Sam paused when realized he was now standing in front of the mirror, closing it. "The person who says you know what gets it. But here—"
