The DollMaker Returns

Chapter 14: The DollMaker's Controlling Gavin (Again)

"Something is very wrong with Gavin." Mason said. The group had found a fourth (techically third) doll sitting in Gavin's seat once they had gotten back from visiting Phil's cousins in Utah. "No duh." Caleb replied. "Plus, we still don't know the name of that doll that appeared a couple days ago."

"Why is everyone freaking out about her?" Gavin asked. "She's not even that creepy." "Probably because she freaks us all out!" Jackson pointed out. "Once again, she's not even that creepy." Gavin protested. "That's probably just you Gavin." Jackson replied. "I agree." Phil agreed. "You have to admit that there's something freaky about her." "You wanna fight you two?" Gavin asked. "Because I'm not afraid to and I will if you do." "No Gavin, we don't wanna fight." Phil answered. "We just want you to see reason with that doll." "I think it's you guys that need to see reason." Gavin replied. "She's not even that scary. I don't even know what you're talking about."

"He's really attatched to that doll, isn't he?" Jackson asked. "I'm afraid so Jack." Caleb responded. "How are we going to get rid of these dolls?" Amelia asked. "I wish I could help, but I haven't really been here enough to really understand what we need to do." Anna replied.

14-year-old Anna James was another one of Gavin's little sisters, this time through adoption. She had really dark brown hair that went down to her shoulders, dark brown eyes, light skin, and was not much taller than Rachel.

"Oh trust me Anna." Lisa said. "You would be shocked at what we've had to go through." "I bet I would." Anna agreed.

"But seriously guys, we need to work with the clues we've got so we can figure out a way to get rid of these dolls now that it's October." Lisa told the group.

"Guys, should I be worried?" Gavin asked. "That depends on what you're talking about." Mason replied. "The creepy doll is sitting next to me." Gavin explained. "Then yes, you should probably be worried." Jackson answered.

"You foolish humans!" The doll yelled. "You will never beat him! The DollMaker always wins!" The sound of her voice made Amelia, Anna, and Jackson a little concerned, with Jackson looking over at Gavin to see his reaction.

"Well that's comforting." Caleb commented, sarcastically. "How is that comforting?" Jackson asked. "It's called sarcasm Jack." Gavin explained. "Ever heard of it?" Then he rolled his eyes. "Oh yeah, I forgot. You use it on a daily basis, yet you somehow can't tell when someone else is using it." "You know, sometimes Gavin, you get on my nerves really quick." Jackson commented.

"Change of subject, how are we gonna fix this?" Anna asked. Mason sighed. "I guess we'll just have to wait and find out."
