Chris's POV

     "Bubba! Time to eat." My sister called. I opened my eyes and saw her next to my bed. She smiled at me and waved. I reluctantly waved back, gaining a little giggle from her. "We're having chocolate chip pancakes! Mamas making 'em!" She said. I nodded. "Oh, and have you seen Clown? He wasn't where I left him.." She mumbled. "Nope, I just woke up." I said. She frowned. "Ok." She replied.

     She hurried away and out of my room. I sat up and looked over at my dresser. The black haired doll had been moved. Instead of it being on my dresser, it was on the floor facing my bed. I sighed. It was too early for this bullshit. I got up and went over to my dresser to pick out some shorts and a t shirt.

     A giggle. "Lily please leave for a second, I need to get dressed." No response. I turned around and saw no one, except..that damned doll moved and is now looking at me. I completely turned to it. "What the hell.." I mumbled to myself. I picked up the doll and studied it. Still looked like it had a mask on. Still had that blood red boiler suit. Still had the red streaks in its hair. I sighed and put it on my dresser in front of me. 

     The entire time I got dressed, I didn't take my eyes off it. It didn't move as I did. I shook my head and left my room. It was just my imagination. There's no reason for a doll to move on its own. As I walked down the stairs, I was once again greeted by Lily. "Bubba look! I found another doll!" She said. She held out a doll with a gas mask on it. "Isn't it cool?" She asked. "Uh, sure." I said. She smiled and nodded.

     "I just still wanna know where Clown is.." She mumbled. She didn't make any sound, but she turned around the doll and looked at it. Immediately, her face lit up. "Thank you!" She yelled. She ran upstairs. "Bubba! Come with!" She yelled. I got confused, but sighed and followed. She went over to where the attic was. "The doll said Clown is in here." She said. 

     My heart kinda began to race. I hadn't told anyone about the attic and I'm pretty sure no one knew. "Uh..ok." I said. I pulled on the string and the stairs slowly came down. Lily and I climbed the stairs leading to the attic. "So uh..where's your doll?" I asked. She shrugged. "Where is he?" She asked the doll. 

     She was silent, but then smiled. She went over to the chest and opened it. The fucking doll was in there, along with the dreaded mask. "Thank you!" She exclaimed. She picked up Clown and held both dolls. "What were you doing' up here Clown? I had set you on my bed, how rude!" She said. She walked down the stairs, leaving me alone in the attic. 

     How the fuck did she..or the doll know? Did it talk? It's a doll! It can't talk! I stood confused for a couple more seconds before descending down the stairs and heading towards the main floor. On my way, I made sure to shut the latch and secure it tight. "Chris come look at this." My mom called. I walked into the kitchen and she and my dad were standing in front of our clock.

 "It stopped at 5:55am last night, isn't that weird?" She asked. I nodded. "All of the clocks?" My dad asked. She nodded. "Every single last one." She replied. My dad hummed. "Oh, your breakfast is on the table, dear." She told me. I nodded and sat down, reaching for my plate.

  I ate in silence trying to make sense of the situation. First, the doll in my room moving, second, how the hell that doll knew where the Clown doll was, and third, why the clocks stopped at 5:55am. I never believed in ghosts, because they don't exist. Even if they did, why wouldn't they just tell us? "We have." I jumped. "Mom? Did you say something?" I asked. She shook her head. "No? Why dear?" She asked.

  My spine shivered. "No reason, just thought I heard you speak.." I said. I sighed and continued eating my food. "Bubba! You didn't tell me you had a doll!" My sister called, running into the room. "Oh yea, found that by my closet. Why are you in my room?" I asked. "Cus! But, can I have it?" She asked. I shrugged. "I don't care, thing creeps me out anyway." I said. "Yay!" She squealed. "Ok so!" She started. She sat next to me.
