I'm Alice. I'm six years old. I have blonde hair and blue eyes. I'm an only child. I live in London, England with my mom and dad. We live in a giant house surrounded by a lot of grass. In my front yard there's a giant oak tree. Under it is my swing set. I'm swinging on it right now, waiting for my dad to come home. I keep swinging until I see a horse carriage with black horses coming down the long path to my house.

"DADDY!" I shout to him. The horse carriage stops. He steps out of it and the carriage turns around and leaves. I jump off the swing set and I run to him. He's holding something. It's a box. He puts it down and opens his arms out for me to hug him. I run into him and his arms wrap around me. He picks me up and spins me around. I begin laughing. He puts me down and lets me go.

"So how was your day pumpkin?" he asks me in a cheery voice.

"It was good daddy. What's in the box?" I point to the box and he looks at it.

"I got you a little something." he bends down and takes his pocket knife out of his pocket. He opens it up and cuts the box open. When he does, he pushes it over to me. I grab the flaps, and lift them up. Then, I take out a box with a porcelin doll in it. She has long, curly brown hair, blue eyes, red lips, rosy red cheeks, and a long purple dress on. She looks beautiful.

"Thank you daddy! I love her!" I give him another hug. Then, I run inside the house.

I go to the kitchen, then I walk into the living room, then I run up the stairs and into my room. I close the door. I open the box and take the doll out of it. "I shall name you.....Crystal!" I hug Crystal. Then, I run to my toy chest and I take all of my dolls out and I throw a tea party for them. Then, my mom calls me down for dinner. I put my dolls down, and I run downstairs.

~after dinner~

My mom gives me a bath and tells me to clean up my toys. I put my dolls back in the chest, except for Crystal. I put her on my dresser. Then, my mom tucks me in and I fall asleep.

~dream~

I'm running around my front yard, Crystal's chasing me. We're playing tag. I trip and I fall on the ground. Crystal jumps on me and begins scratching my arms. At first I laugh because it tickles. But then, I begin screaming because it hurts. I keep screaming. Then, I see Crystal holding a knife. She almost stabs me with it when I wake up.

~dream is over (incase u didn't get the hint)~

I wake up and I see the sun trying to peek through my window. I go downstairs and into the kitchen where my mom is cooking. I sit at the table. She brings me pancakes and her jaw drops open.

"Sweetheart, what happened to your arms?" She went next to me and grabbed my arms. I looked at them and I saw scratches on them. Just like the dream.

"Mommy, I had a dream last night and Crystal was scratching me." My mom looked at me with a scared look.

"It's time for you to go to school." My mom grabbed my hand and took me out the front door.

~the next night~

I put Crystal on my dresser and I go to bed and I fall asleep.

I wake up an hour later and I hide under my covers. I hear footsteps. That's impossible. My parents are asleep and I don't have a pet. I peek out from under the covers and I look at my dresser. Crystal is gone. That's impossible. I put her on my dresser. She couldn't have walked away.

I look in the hallway, and I see a shadow walking towards my room. I scream as loud as I can. Both of my parents run into my room.

"What's wrong pumpkin?" My dad asks me.

"Crystal, she's alive! She was walking around the house! I saw her I swear!"

"Sweetheart, it's just your imagination. Crystal isn't alive. She's just a doll. Don't believe what the other kids are telling you. Just calm down sweetheart." My mom told me while she rubbed my back.

"No! She's alive. I had a dream tonight and she hit me and gave me a bad bruise. And at the end of the dream she was chasing me and I fell down the steps and broke my leg. I swear mom she's alive! Please!"

"I've heard enough of this." My father said. "We're getting rid of that doll." I began crying.

"Come on sweetheart. Why don't you sleep in our room tonight?" My mom said in a soothing voice. I shook my head. My mom and dad got up. I jumped off my bed and screamed.

"OUCH!!!" My parents began freaking out. I looked at my leg and I saw a big bruise on it. They looked scared.

"Come on sweetheart, lets go." My dad picked me up and they brought me to there room where I fell right to sleep.

The next morning when I woke up I went into my room to get dressed. When I went to my dresser, Crystal was missing.

I ran downstairs until I found my mom. "Mommy, where's Crystal?" I asked her in an upset voice.

"Sweetheart, your father got rid of her. You've been saying odd things, so we thought it best to get rid of her. I'm sorry Alice." I began crying. I loved Crystal. And my parents got rid of her. Why can't they believe me? She was walking around the house last night. She had to have scratches me while I was sleeping. She had to have given me a bruise while I was sleeping.

I ran back up to my room and I took out my other dolls and began having a tea party with them. It's not the same without Crystal. She made them fun. I continued having my tea party when I heard the boards squeaking upstairs. I went into the hallway and began walking a little forward. No one was there. I turned around and I saw Crystal right behind me with her arms out.

"Alice come play with me." She said in a freaky voice. Her being able to talk was freakier.  

"AAAAHHHH!" I screamed. I began walking backwards. She began walking towards me. The doll can walk too. That's really freaky. I kept walking backwards. Then, I fell down the stairs. And I broke my leg. And no one was in the house. O

I screamed as loud as I could. I heard my mom running to me. She looked at the top of the stairs, and there she was. Crystal. But, not just Crystal. She was holding a knife.

That was the last time I ever saw Crystal.

But one day.......
