The Living dream

Chapter Seventeen

                                                                              Five Months Later

A new man had been coming over quite often. He was very nice and watched Tori well while she was doing her school work as she worked online. Mac and Jayden were usually at work during the day so it was pretty quiet in the house. So far Tori had been very nice to Clara during the past month, but Tori had been noticing Claras weird movements and behavior and how she was in a different stance or place then she was last time. Tori was sure it was just her dads so she pushed it out of her mind. Everything was going good. Clara was happy with how it was going until today. It was around 12:30ish, Tori had just finished her lunch and was walking back into her bedroom holding lemonade. She tripped over Clara causing Claras leg to break off. Clara really thought that someone would love her. She couldn't believe she was so stupid to believe that. Clara was so done with how stupid she was to believe. Clara was going to get her back.

Kane was in the kitchen with Jayden getting kind close and personal most likely going to kiss when Tori walked in holding the broken doll. The two men jumped apart as the eleven year old held out the doll. Jayden walked toward the doll with sympathy telling her to fetch the super glue so he could glue the leg back on. The young girl nodded and sprinted her curls bounding with her as she ran to the gaurge to fetch the super glue. Kane took the doll and set her on the counter so when they had the glue he could put it back in its place. Tori ran back with the glue and urgently put the bottle into Kanes hands. His tan hand opened the bottle and began putting the glue on the broken leg and holding it in place so the glue could dry. Tori took it back when he was done.

"That will do until we can send her back to the doll maker right?" The rough voice asked.

Tori nodded fast and sprinted back to her room to hold the doll. Clara didn't want to be held right now she was mad she wanted to break something, hurt someone even. Clara was going to learn the house some more then she'd get them all back. She was done. Emily would never hurt Clara unlike everyone else who just didn't care. So now Clara would stop caring for them too. Clara put too much emotion into everything, she would get everyone back and then she'd go back to mamas.

Back in Denmark the old woman was sleeping and her heart rate started to slow drastically when it stopped all together. The Doll maker had died in her sleep rather peacefully. Claras mama wouldn't be waiting for her when she came home. Clara was going to be all alone, once again. However it would be weeks before anyone found her body and only because of the stench of decaying flesh would draw them in. The doll maker was a lonely old woman whose name was actually Ida Collvea.

In Australia, Kane was comforting Tori as she cried. He may not know why she's crying but he knows that she needs comfort. Hugging her from the side and rubbing her arm he calmly talked her into a stage of calmness. One that she hadn't been in for thirty minutes. She sniffled and looked up at the tall man thanking him for being so nice to her. Walking back to her room she closed the door, laying in bed hugging a shaggy blue pillow as she sobbed into it. Soon the distraught girl fell asleep to her own sobbing. Clara would have felt bad for her before now she didn't care. Clara's next plan was going to happen soon.
