Dan Pierce
"We're going to make this right"

- Main Character to a comatose Dan.

Dan is Main Character's friend who was kidnapped by Mr. Red. Main Character hadn't seen Dan for a while, so when "he" appears suddenly in Main Character's room, Main Character is surprised. In reality, it wasn't Dan but a monster disguised as Dan who Mr. Red sent to attack Main Character. Main Character isn't sure if the attack was a nightmare or if it was real, but bruises on Main Character's body seem to indicate the latter.

Later, Main Character and his/her friends go to visit Dan in the hospital, where supernatural events occur and Ava saves the group.

Jane Marshall
"I said that to make you feel safe."

- Your Character to an upset Jane

Jane is Main Character's childhood best friend. Ten years before the events of this book occur, Main Character and Jane wandered into a house in the woods. Both experienced some strange supernatural events. Later, Main Character brought all their other friends (Dan, Ava, Noah, Lily, Andy, Stacy, and Lucas) back to the house to check it out. This results in them meeting a mysterious entity named Mr. Red, and over the summer, the children visit Mr. Red and play games. In their last game -one of Mr. Red's choosing called "Are you Scared?"- Jane dies at Mr. Red's hands. Her death traumatizes everyone into parting ways and suppressing their memories and feelings as best as they can before mysterious supernatural events occur again, bringing them back together.
