At home, Annabel hears someone cry. "Hello are you okay? Who's there? What's gone wrong?" The crying gets louder and starts screeching. Silence. "Who's there!?" Shouted Anna looking around with fear. She turns around and Saskia is stood behind her covered in blood. "What happened?" Asked Annabel. "Ask Joe." Cried Saskia. "Ahhhhhhhh. It hurts so bad."
"Let's have a look" said Anna. She had a black eye, broken nose, blood dripping down her face and neck, lighter burns on her face and a whole in her stomach where the knife had stabbed her. "Help me anna. I don't want-" the crying comes back. But louder and more of it. 'It's like there kids upstairs in pain. But who?' Checking upstairs it goes quiet again. 'Where is it. Who is it. Why is it here?'

Scared as anything Annabel and Saskia wonder upstairs as they listen for the screeching, SLAM! The bedroom door is closed. With fear in their eyes Annabel and Saskia look at each other, look at the door then look back downstairs. They see a figure stood at the bottom of the stairs. With a doll? The doll that Joe had given Anna when they first went out.
"SHITTTTT! ANNA! WHATS THAT!" Screamed Saskia as the figure started floating up the stairs towards them. Crying. It's back. The figure. Is it a girl or a boy or is it even a child at all? Help!
"What do we do? Where did it come from? How does it know where I am? How ca-" half way through a sentence Anna interrupted and said
"I know her... Its my child... She died at birth..."
