Kali slowly opened the door to the house, stepping inside the entrance hall. There was a giant red carpet with a golden outline and a lot of furniture. Like desks shelves and cabinets. Kali took a gaze around as she locked eyes with a painting on the wall. The painting had a portrait of The Virtuoso and the writing under it.
"The Master's smile." Kali read out loud. She looked around. There was a staircase leading upstairs and two doors. One on her left and one on her right. She tried the doors to no avail.
"Weird." She slowly walked up the stairs, not lowering her hand any time soon. She pushed the door open at the top, leading into a big room. She felt a shiver down her spine as the walls lined with small dolls. All of them either stood up along the wall or just sat down on some shelves. In the middle of the room was a single box, resting on a table. She walked toward it and slowly opened it up and a tune started echoing in the chamber.
"My dearest, doll. Who lives on a hill." The virtuoso's voice echoed from the box as the tune played.
"Secluded and alone. Happy yet static." Kali looked around the room as the dolls all began to shiver slightly.
"Do you see the light from or does the mountain cloud out the sun?"
"Do you feel the wind or do the wooden walls hide the sensation from your fair skin."
"My dearest, doll. Who lives on a hill." Kali looked around at the dolls, preparing her ring.
"This is creepy," Kali growled lowly. She walked toward the door as the tune continued
"Do you feel lonely, my doll?"
"Do you feel sad that I am not with you?"
"That is okay, my doll. I will give you a playmate."
"Just do not break them this time."
"My dearest doll-" The voice echoed. The door slammed shut.
"Who lives-" All the dolls slowly began to levitate.
"On a hill."
there was a few seconds of silence as Kali looked around her, trying to take in the horrific sight. Then the dolls began to laugh and fly toward her.
"What the fuc-" She didn't even get to finish before the dolls split open, revealing sharp scissors and knives inside them.
"Shit." Kali dodged to the side as the dolls flew into the wall breaking and cutting the wood. Kali dashed toward the door, only to find it locked.
"What now?" Kali looked behind her. The room was like an attic. There were the dolls the platform and the door. Nothing else.
"hihihihi." The dolls all laughed like little girls. Kali grabbed her ring and pointed it forward.
"Volt charger!" She shouted, unleashing a barrage of lightning. The shock, caught on to the knives and blades, electrocuting the dolls, setting them on fire.
"Who is in there?" A woman's voice called out from the hallway. Kali saw the door slowly get rummaged with. She slowly backed away from the door as a long claw cut through the door.
"S-shit." She said low as she charged for the door, using the space next to the door to hide from the creature. Another claw moved through. It was around twenty centimeters long and made of pure steel. One more claw went through, leaving a small hole in the door.
"Must have been my imagination." The voice said. You heard creaking as the creature slowly left. Kali turned around and looked at the door, seeing that there was a hole. She slowly crawled out and entered the staircase again. She saw the left door down below get closed.
"Must be who I'm looking for," Kali said as she slowly walked down the stairs. The tune from the box still echoed in the house. She passed the entrance hall but this time the picture wasn't of the Virtuoso. It was of a blond girl in a field. There was a text but it was seemingly damaged so you couldn't read it.
"W-weird." She went for the left door to feel it locked still, turning around to the right door. It opened.
"I hate this." She slowly walked down the hallway. The hallway was L-shaped and as she turned the corner she got into a bedroom. It was formed like one of the dollhouse bedrooms from all the playsets. A small desk with a mirror and a giant bed. A lot of pink. Kali walked over to the mirror and looked at herself. The mirror was a perfect shape for make-up but there were a lot of cuts in the mirror, not allowing the face to be shown unless you really bent your head down to show it.
"Weird." Kali turned toward the bed and walked over. There she wound a small audiotape. She turned it on only to throw it away instantly. The first sound that came out was a scream.
"Please just let me go!" A girl screamed. There was no direct answer but you could hear the virtuoso's humming in the background.
"Did you ever enjoy playing with dolls?" The virtuoso asked.
"What do you want with me? I have nothing!" The girl cried.
"Oh, hush now. You have everything I want. Do not take me for some cruel hooligan who can't appreciate true beauty, my doll." He answered. The tape was cut short.
"W-what?" Kali looked at the audio tape. After hearing it you heard a click sound as a key dropped out of the mirrorstand. She walked over and grabbed it.
"W-what is going on?" Kali confused walked toward the door and went out of the bedroom. She turned the L-shape only to barely dodge an incoming blade.
"F-fuck." She fell to the floor.
"What are you doing in my bedroom!" You heard creaking as a long leg bent around the corner. A two-and-a-half meter tall mannequin slowly crept around the corner with golden long hair. Blades come out of each finger and one single green eye. Kali didn't even have time to answer before the monster leaped at her, swinging its claw.
