Hello, my name is Mary, and I would like to inform you with what happened to me and my friends several years ago.
My friends Cate,Ella,Sophie,Max,and I were all hanging out at my house getting ready for Halloween.
"Why don't we go through my aunt and uncle's neighborhood?! Everyone there gives out tons of candy to the kids that come around!" Max suggested. Everyone said their, "yea's" and "sure's" before we all decided to go to our separate houses to put on our costumes then meet back up at Max's house so his parents could drive us to his aunt and uncle'a neighborhood.
Around 9 o'clock at night everyone had on their costumes and were all at Max's house getting into his dads truck.
"We are going to get so much candy!" Exclaimed Cate. She was always the cheery one of the group never seeing the negatives.
"I know right?! So Max, what neighborhood DOES your aunt and uncle live in?" Asked Sophie, she was the one to always need to know the answer no matter what.
"Oh right I forgot about that. They live in the Westington Resort. Even though it's not really a resort..but they have huge houses! And I heard there was a haunted house near by in that neighborhood." Max said smiling evilly.
He was the one to always like a good scare.
"Mary, you haven't really said anything all night. What do you think?" Ella asked giving me pleading eyes. She was always the scaredy cat of the group. While I was always the quiet one.
"Umm yea I think it sounds like a cool idea.. Can't wait to go into the haunted house." I said looking at them.
"You two are such scaredy cats! Ella and Mary are scaredy cats! Ella and Mary are scaredy cats!" Cate chanted. I looked down trying not to cry. They always teased me and Ella. Always saying how were always scared.
"Oh look is she gonna cry? Cry baby." Sophie said. Me and Ella looked at each other. I could tell she was thinking the same thing as me. I could see a mix of emotions in her eyes. Sadness,anger, confusion, and most of all regret. I'm pretty sure I had the same emotions. As we reaches closer to the neighborhood we drew silent looking at the houses. We all hopped out and said bye to his dad and left to go get candy.
After a few hours of getting candy it was midnight. Time to head back to his aunt and uncles house. We started walking when Max and Cate stopped us.
"Guys we should totally go check out that haunted house Max was talking about!" Cate exclaimed looking excited. Max just stood there smiled at us just as excited as Cate was. We all looked at each other and Sophie and Ella said sure. I was still hesitant to go but I had to anyways. Seeing that I was dragged there. We continued walking until we reached the edge of a forest. It just screamed, don't go in, Sophie and Cate held onto my wrists and pulled me closer anyways. When we are just at the tree lines Max calls out,
"Go in Sophie!" Sophie gulps but nods her head and walks in.
30 minutes pass until we hear something coming from the distance. Time stops as we hear the voice and sound of Sophie screaming. Then we hear from far away a screech followed by a scream for help. Then everything goes dead silent. We look at each other scared of what is happening. Then we hear from a closer distance shuffling around. Then something black is thrown through the air. It topples over in front of us. There was a mop of black like hair. Max walks up to it and touches it with his foot. It turns over and what we see shocks us all. Ella and Cate scream while Max just stares at it. Her face was frozen in fear as blood trickled down her face. I look back up at the forest and my body freezes as a figure approaches us. A big broad man approaches us hold something on his shoulder and in his left hand. He walks closer and I see out of the corner of my eye they're all looking at him. As he gets closer and closer I notice what's on his shoulder. It's Sophie's limp body. Drenched in blood, headless. In his hand is a giant butcher knife. I turn to run but as I begin to run I bump into something. I look up and notice it's another man. He is covered in blood head to toe, a smile is carved into his face as he looks down on me. He holds his hand up showing a butcher knife just like the last one. I hear my friends scream as I hear their limp bodies hit the ground. I turn around and I scream at the top of my lungs as the butcher knife connects to my throat.
And that is my story. I was murdered, sewn into a human doll like thing. And I sit hear now scaring children every night at exactly 12:02. But today I have made an exception to spare some lives and come visit you. Don't turn around if you savor your life.
Sincerely,
Mary Doll
