The doll

No.2-Instructions

Once I had finished eating I went upstairs with my doll. When I looked more closely at it I could tell it had been used before, there were little holes where it had been poked and the material had started to fray around the edges. I picked it up to inspect it when I saw something at the bottom of the dark blue show box. They were instructions! I flung the doll on the floor and began reading.

After ten minutes I had finished reading the note, the note seemed to have been passed around a lot because it was as crumpled as an unironed t shirt and had a funny smell that the paper had soaked up from past owners . I know now 4 things about the doll which I did not know before.

1)It was a voodoo doll, when I was younger I watched a film called Teen Witch, this gave me a brief understanding of voodoo dolls.

2)To use the doll you need to print of a persons face on normal paper and pin it on the head of the doll.

3)If you use the voodoo doll, either for bad or for good you will be punished. Each time you stick a pin into the doll, a consequence will take an effect on you.

4)For the doll to take affect you need different coloured pins, when poked into the doll different things will happen to the person whose face is on the doll. What happens depends on the colour of the pin head. 

Yellow- Brings them success  

Red- Inflicts pain on them  

Purple- Makes them fall in and out of  

love 

Green- Heals them (from illness)

I yank my laptop from under my bed excitedly and wait for my old IBM to slowly load. I am not usually one to believe in things like this, but the way the doll had made me feel all alone and cold just proves it is magic. Also I am very curious and it can't hurt to try it.

I see the picture I want and click print, we only have a black and white printer but we aren't that well off and my mum and dad saved up for it so I can't complain. There is four of us living in our small 2 bedroom bungalow, my room isn't really a room but a big cupboard but I am always grateful for what I have because I could have it a lot worse. I wander done the stairs to our printer and get the picture, when I get back upstairs I fish out my old box of assorted coloured pins and flop on my mattress bed. I grab the scissors and start to cut out the picture and after what seems like days I have finally pinned it on the doll. I gingerly pick up a green pin and stick it in the doll, I really hope it works. 

But then I remember rule 3 and I wonder what my consequence will be I bite my nails nervously and then quickly shove the doll under my bed.
