Biography[]
In Spring 2001, Addie wakes and sees her grandmother out in the fields of the farm crying. Addie takes her favorite horse, Rocket, out for a ride. However, she realizes Rocket needs to eat and notifies Gaylen, she is going to take the truck into town to get some hay. Gaylen does not respond and continues to look out to the fields, to Addie's confusion.
Addie, first, makes a stop at her friend Gracie Mather's home and asked if they can supply her any hay. Gracie tries to check with her mother, however, she gets into an argument with her brother, Kirk Mathers, who keeps a rabbit trapped and refuses to let it out before he takes off with his dirt bike to go riding. Gracie's mother Beth confirm they do not have any hay themselves, so Addie has to go to Buddy Hook's family business at the farming supply store to get some hay. Gracie teases her as she knows Addie and Buddy have a mutual crush for one another. Upon arriving at the Hook's family business, however, Buddy's father refuses to give her any as her family farm has very poor credit. She walks away disappointed, but Buddy tries to offer to pay for it, his father objects and tells him he can do better than Addison. Buddy doesn't listen and drives with the truck and catches up to Addie and insists on bringing some hay to feed her horse.
Addie and Buddy encounter the Creeper.
When they arrive at the farm, they are feeding the horse and notice Gaylen digging something up under a tree. They choose to pay no mind and Buddy invites Addison to accompany him on some hay deliveries. When they arrive at one of their destinations, they find the owner and others hiding under cars and warn them to leave. However, the Creeper then shows up and attacks the workers. One of them runs up to Buddy's truck and covers the driver's side window with blood. The Creeper approaches the truck and rubs the blood on the window to get a view of Buddy and Addison. The Creeper sniffs out the two then turns his look from Buddy to Addison, smelling her fear. He then jumps to Addie's side of the truck and abducts her, leaving Buddy traumatized.
Addie is tied up and in the Creeper's truck. While trapped in the truck, she breaks loose and found Gracie's brother, Kirk, also captured by the Creeper and with an injured leg from the Creeper's truck booby trap from the spear in the exhaust pipe. He warns her about the booby trap on the trucks back exit to raise spikes to split anyone in two, who attempts to escape. They look around to see if they can safely escape, they check to see if they can exit from passenger side door which is without a seat. However, Kirk was crawling to open the passenger door, but the driver seat has a booby trap that released a sharp rod to attack anyone who tries to escape from the passenger side. This sharp rod impales Kirk on the head, instantly killing him, to the horror of Addie.
Upon the Creeper's return, Addie kept hidden and pretends to still be tied up and under the sheets. The Creeper discovers Kirk's dead body and failed escape attempt. He sniffs around and discovers Addie is loose too. He attempts to kill her; however, Addie lures him into his passenger side booby trap, trapping him and making him lose one of his eyes. Addie managed to get up and run out the back avoiding the spike trap and harpoon. The Creeper attempts to stop her, but with his one eye cannot aim well with his spear and only gets her jacket. He attempts to fly at her, but his wings are still damaged from his battle with Dan Tashtego. He decides to charge after her with his axe but gets hit by a truck, losing Addie and eats the truck driver instead to regenerate his injuries. With it being nighttime, Addie crouches and hides in the field until she is found by Gaylen and Buddy. The Creeper tries to track her down with them, only to find that they already fled, leaving his severed hand and a sign telling him "We know what you are!" This angers the Creeper to yell out with crows and ravens around him falling from the sky.
Addie is last seen at another safe place with Buddy visiting her as she continues to take care of her horse, Rocket. She and Buddy kiss as he leaves on the bus from the second film, saying he plans to not come back and stay with family who are nearby where the championship game takes place.
Trivia[]
- Addie is the only victim of the Creeper to actually escape after being captured. 
- Andy "Bucky" Buck evaded capture twice in Jeepers Creepers 2 as the Creeper was interrupted from abducting him both times.
- Additionally, Addie might be the youngest victim of the Creeper to survive and escape his capture. 
- Despite not knowing Kenny and her parents not being mentioned, it is safe to imply Kenny is her uncle as he died years before Addison was even born. We know this as Gaylen is Kenny's mother and Addie's grandmother and they all share the same last name, implying Kenny has a brother who is Addie's father. Additionally, Addie is only about 16-17 years old whereas Kenny died 23 years prior, making it impossible for Kenny to be Addie's father.
- It is unknown what the Creeper would have wanted to eat from Addie.
