OS135: ISLA DE LAS MUNECAS

ISLA DE LAS MUNECAS

It was my 7th birthday when my mom bought a doll for me. It's just me and my mom. I don't have a dad.

"Mom, where's dad?"

"He's lost and dead."

I never wanted a doll, actually. I just want to have a cake and I really wanted to meet my dad.

But day by day, I started to love the doll.

I enjoyed playing with it. I started to lock myself in my room and started talking to the doll. I don't know why but whenever I talk to her, I heard a little whisper. I found it creepy at first but I'm used to it.

She was my bestriend for how many years.

I went to school with her. I ate with her. I traveled everywhere with her. I felt nothing when she's not around.

My classmates found it creepy but I don't mind because I love her. I love this doll.

When I turned 15, I was curious about something.

As my mother opened the door shouting, I wanted to speak but I can't. Someone's stopping me from answering my mom. I felt scared when I found the doll walking towards me. I shouted with fear but I have no voice. I just opened my mouth and shouted with no voice.

When my mom finally opened my door, the doll suddenly stopped but she's still staring at me. I ran and entered the bathroom and washed my face but this time, my eyes grew bigger and I'm now shaking when I saw blood flowing on my face and my hand. I washed it again and again but there's no use because the water suddenly turned into blood. I shouted but still, I don't have a voice.

Then, I started crying when I saw the doll on the door smiling at me. I want to escape but I can't, I'm scared.

"You're coming with me" she said.

Then I suddenly felt sleepy so I close my eyes.

I woke up with fear when I found myself standing in a place I don't know. Where am I? The place is dark. I heard creepy voices. Bats were flying around me. Weird birds were humming. Wolves are growling loud.

Where am I?

I want to go home.

"Follow me or else I will kill you" the doll uttered so I gulped. This devil doll is threatening me!

"Where are you taking me!?" finally, I can speak!

"Isla de las Munecas" she said.

Eh? Where's that place? I'm not familiar with that place! Where's that place?!

"You'll follow or I will kill you?"

I'm starting to follow her. My legs are shaking and my eyes is tearing up. I'm scared. I want to go home!

We stopped at a creepy place. I closed my eyes when I saw dolls hanging above the trees. Dolls with blood. Dead dolls. I can't bear this.

"Stand up! This is your home from now on." the doll said.

"N-no. I'm not living here." I said.

She smiled and I saw her crying blood and started laughing. Her voice started to change into a man and I saw a spirit came out and turned into a man with a large reddish eyes, sharp teeth with blood, long fingernails, a hole on his forehead and a bald bloody head.

I got scared.

"Did you see that dolls hanging above the trees? I will turn you into a dead doll if you will not live here with me." he said. I can't believe him!

"Who will live here with a devil spirit like you!?" I shouted he suddenly looked at me closely with his eyes then smiled. His smiling too big. I closed my eyes and shouted. "You can kill me. I will never live with a devil like you!"

I heard him laugh.

"I'm not the real devil."

"You are!"

"No" he smiled and then he said, "It's your mom. She's the reason why I turned like this. She's the devil."

"No, you're the devil!"

"Do you know who am I?"

"You're a devil!"

He sadly smiled, "This is me, your dad."

"No, my dad was dead!"

"I'm dead."

"My dad was lost!"

"I'm lost." he said. He stepped backward and stared at me.

"I'm lost here in the island of dolls. She's actually a witch, she's the reason why my spirit entered the body of a doll. She cursed me. She cursed me to death for I made her pregnant by a mistake, one night stand at the witch bar. I was the bartender and she was a poll dancer. I loved her so much the reason why I married her. She never loved me so she killed me with the curse dolls." he said and stepped backward again. I can't draw my face expressions right now.

"She gave you that doll on your birthday. I'm thankful for that. She let me met my daughter and that's you. I'm only asking you to stay with me but I feel like you really want to be with your mom, just be careful with her. Close your eyes my dear daughter, 'til we met again." he said. I don't know how to react. I was about speak, he covered my eyes and and whispered.

"Please don't forget me as your father. I love you. Tell your mother that I love her, too. I love that she's changing. Once you'll go back, please burn the doll. Goodbye." then I fell asleep.

-

"Oh you're finally awake!" my mom shouted and hugged me tight.

"Are you okay?"

I nodded and she sighed. "You're in a coma for 5 years and I thought you'll be dead." she sadly said. I smiled at her. So it means I'm 20 years old right now.

No, mom. I'm okay, I just met dad.

"Where's the doll?" I asked mom then she gave me the doll. I stared at the doll and smiled. "Let's burn this"

She gulped and nodded.

Isla de las munecas or the island of the dead dolls, a place where I met my lost and dead father. 'Til we met again dad.
