Cursed Doll (Origin Of Cry Baby)

New Mama?

I stared up at the huge clock watching the pendulum swing back and forth. My mommy had just finished putting concealer makeup on my eye...she had another of her episodes last night....i just happen to be in the way. I touched the side of my face she hit, repeatedly rubbing my eye. The pain, can't feel it.... not anymore anyways. I walked away from the clock and went towards my father's office. Saw him and the maid kissing...again. He looked to the door and walked to me. "Sweetie daddy needs you not to tell mommy ok?" He kneeled down to me and smiled. I blankly stared at him and walked away. He does this normally, he is only nice to me because i know his secrets. I walked into my bedroom, the entire room was bare hardly any toys. You would think that my parents would spoil me their six year old daughter, but sadly the only toy i had was an old rag doll..if you could even call it that anymore. I suddenly heard screams coming from outside my room. Mama's having another episode. I quickly hid under my bed knowing if she found me I would have more than just a black eye. I began crying, no six year old should go through this hell. I started to shake from how much i was crying when i heard a soft voice, "Oh you poor poor baby, how could someone do this to their baby?" I peeked from under the bed to find a woman standing in front of me. I slowly looked up, she wore a torn black dress, her hair was pure black, and her face....it was weird....half her face was a pale skinned black eyed beauty the other.....a skull with dark blue, red and black swirls. She smiled down at me. "Do you mind coming out of hiding baby girl?" I nodded my head slowly crawling out from under the bed. She then picked me up and rested me on her hip her hand resting on my back and the other touching my cheek. A warm feeling spread from her hand to my cheek, i closed my eyes nuzzling her hand. "Oh aren't you the cutest little thing." She cooed, "It is a wonder why those people would do all those mean things to such a doll." I sniffled a little still nuzzling her hand. "I have an idea. How about i give you a little friend? He may not be much but it's much better than that raggedy old excuse for a doll..." She whispered, suddenly a black cloud of smoke appeared and from the smoke came a stuffed Totoro doll. I squealed and took the doll in my my hands hugging to my chest. "Now Vanity, I want you to promise me something...." I looked at the lady. "Yes mama?" She smiled a little surprised by my name for her. "I want you to always tell your new doll everything those awful people do to you....He will make the bad people go away." I nodded my head hugging my Totoro to me. "Otay i will...but whats gonna happen to me?" I whimpered a little looking up at the lady. She smiled and whispered in my ear before setting me down, "I am going to be your mother now....you need not worry about what is going to happen to you...not anymore my little cry baby." She disappeared in a puff of black smoke. I sat down hugging my Totoro doll to me. "Im not a cry baby....."
