The Bride of the Puppet Master

8: Almost Human

      May came blooming and was in the air. Blade woke up to the sound of birds chirping. He rubbed his head with his hook and opened his mouth as if he yawned. He didn't need to sleep, eat, or drink due to being a living puppet, but he just wanted to feel normal. He looked to see Kathy had left for school. She will be done soon, she would have one week early before school will be over. Plus prom night was coming for spring. He liked the sound of that. There was gonna be dancing, food and drinks. Blade wanted to go, but he didn't know how. Being a doll and all. Then he remembered the woman that came earlier who claimed she made him for Kathy. What was her name again? Ava. Maybe she could help.

Blade jumped down from the bed and climbed to window. Maybe she could turn him human just for a little bit for just one night. He opened the window and climbed down.

Torch and Pinhead were already out and about in town, but careful not to be seen by other humans. Blade knew where the woman lived, since Kathy and Circe went to her house that one time with Pinhead and Torch. They were riding on the red wagon.

Blade came to the house and knocked on the door with his hook hoping she would be home.

"I'll get it, sis!" A woman's voice called out. Loretta opened the door and screamed seeing Blade standing there. Once she recognized him, she calmed down, "oh it's you. You here for Circe?"

Blade shook his head.

"Who is it, Loretta?" Ava came and noticed Blade and her eyes widened, "what are you doing here!?" She snatched Blade bringing him inside. Loretta checked to see if anyone was around, luckily no one was.

"He said he isn't here for Circe." Loretta said.

Blade then pointed at Ava with his hook.
