Have a Good Sleep

A Gift

" Happy Birthday, Alexa!! " everyone said in chorus..
" Thank you!! " Alexa said, before blowing the birthday cake candles...
So, after that, birthday games and a lot happened..

That evening..
" So, did you like your birthday presents, Alexa? " her mom asked..
" I did, Mommy!! And thank you for the best party EVER!!! " Alexa said with glee, and hugged her Mom..
" Ok, sweetie.. Its late, time to sleep.. But, first, take your bubble bath, okay? " her Mom said..
" Yes, Mommy.. " Alexa said, then went upstairs to take her bath..

In the bathroom...
" This was the best birthday party I ever had!! " Alexa said to herself, giggling..
While taking a bath, she suddenly heard a knock from outside the bathroom door,
" Who is it? " Alexa said, loudly..
But, no one answered..
She thought that her Dad was playing his gimmicks on her so, she let it pass..

After she took a bath, she went to her room with the lights off because she's still in her towel..
After, dressing up, she opened the lights seeing a medium sized box in her bed..
It had a card and it said: " Happy Birthday, Alexa.. Enjoy your gift!"
" Awww, its a late birthday present from Mom and Dad.. I wonder what they got me.. " Alexa thought.
So, being curious, she excitedly opened the box, seeing a beautiful doll wearing a white dress and a big smile on its face...
Alexa was speechless.. She loved the doll!
She planned on saying thanks to her parents, but, she thought that they already may be asleep.. So, she said that she'll just do it tomorrow...

Loving the doll, she put in her study table so it'll be the first thing she'll see tomorrow.
After doing that, she went to her bed and fell asleep..

In the middle of the night she suddenly woke up because she heard a little girls voice saying " Happy Birthday " over and over again.
When she looked at her alarm clock, she saw the time.. It was 2:59 midnight...
She said that it was her dream, when she noticed that her doll was missing from her study table...
She sat to see if it fell on the ground, but, it was nowhere to be seen...
She then heard the little girl's voice, but this time from inside her closet..
She was scared, but she thought that maybe her little cousin, Ella, was just playing tricks on her..

She took a deep breath, and then, she opened her closet..
She saw a little girl, its back turned to Alexa..
Alexa was near to crying when the little girl turned to her and said " Happy Birthday "
Alexa then recognized the girl, it was her doll!
Before Alexa could say anything, the girl held out a knife and then stabbed Alexa to death...

Then, Alexa woke up..
It was all just a bad dream... Phew...
But, Alexa heard a voice again, greeting her a happy birthday..
She started to sweat...
She convinced herself that it was just her illusions...

But when she turned to her alarm clock, she saw the time..
2:59
And then, she saw her new doll..
MISSING...
