The DollMaker Returns

Chapter 12: The New Doll

"It was just sitting here." Lisa explained as she snuggled with her boyfriend while her cousin was busying himself with being scared of the new doll that was sitting in his seat. "What's so bad about her?" Caleb asked. "She's really creepy." Jackson replied. "I would agree with that." Lisa agreed.

"I honestly think Jack shouldn't get too close to her just in case she's from the DollMaker." Mason said. "I agree Mason." Phil replied. "We all know how much the DollMaker enjoys controlling Jack." Mason thought back to a couple days ago, when Jackson started acting a little strange when Juliana mentioned Kendrick again. "And it looks like he's sent multiple dolls to try and turn him into one." Phil was referring to Kendrick and James. "I won't be surprised if he's sent a third." "My reasoning exactly." Mason agreed.

"But why would the DollMaker send us another creepy doll?" Amelia asked. "I don't know." Lisa replied. "But she sure is creepy." "No she's not!" Jackson yelled. "What are you talking about Jack?" Amelia wondered. "You were just saying that she was creepy." "Yeah, I don't know what I was thinking when I said that." Jackson replied.

"Jack, I told you not to get close to that doll!" Mason scolded. "This is what happens when you specifically get too close to or touch a creepy doll from the DollMaker." "She is not creepy!" Jackson reminded him. 

"Maybe we should stop calling her creepy." Rachel suggested. "At least for now to see what he does and how he acts." "What if he's worse when we're not insulting the doll or the DollMaker?" Amelia protested. "I find that very unlikely Amelia." Rachel assured her.

"It's not like it can't happen, but if Jack is being controlled by this new doll, than he's most likely not gonna get mad if we're not insulting the DollMaker or the dolls." Caleb agreed. "Let's just see what happens when we're not insulting the dolls or the DollMaker for once." Phil suggested.

"I don't care what you guys do, but I'm gonn find a way to get rid of these dolls." Mason stated. "You shall not separate us!" The doll yelled, causing the group -besides Jackson- to jump in surprise. They noticed Mason staring at her with a strange expression.

"Mason, are you alright?" Rachel asked. "Never better." Mason replied. "Are you sure about that Mace?" Caleb asked, slowly outstretching his hand and placing it on the other teens shoulder. "If Mason says he's fine, than he's probably fine." Jackson answered so Mason could keep staring at the doll. "Usually when he says he's fine, there's probably something-MMPH!" Phil was interrupted by a flying washcloth covering his mouth and knocking him out.

"Uhh," Caleb started, "what's going on?" "Kind of what I'm wondering." Mason agreed. "Oy vey, why does my head hurt?" Jackson complained. "I don't know." Caleb answered.

Rachel sighed as she exhanged a glance with Jackson. "I think the better question is; what are we gonna do with this new doll?"
