My Doll Collection

Chapter 7

When we arrived at my house Riley looked my house up and down. Then ran up my front walk.

"I don't know where she could be but let's check upstairs." I had a feeling that she would retreat to her room full of dolls. When we got to the hallway I ran down the hall and reached for Kaitlyn's doorknob. When I made contact with the cold metal the door flew open and Kaitlyn stood there. Her eyes were pure green.

"What do you want?" Asked my sister in a deep voice.

I swallowed the lump in my throat and opened my mouth."I want my sister to be normal again." She glanced in Riley's direction and lifted her hand. She sent Riley flying into the wall and lying on the ground. I ran to her side,"Are you okay?" Before she could answer Kaitlyn lifted her off the ground by her neck.

Riley was gasping for breaths and flailing her arms and legs. I ran into Kaitlyn's room to distract her. I heard a thump as I my eyes searched Kaitlyn's room. Sitting on her bed was the doll she found in the basement. Next to the doll was a piece of paper. I picked up the paper with my shaking hands. Sharah is all I had to read before I grabbed the doll. Looking at the doll I realized she looked like the doll from my story. I ran past my sister and friend to the kitchen. We kept a junk drawer in there with a hammer. Kaitlyn or maybe Sharah was following behind me.

I threw the doll on the counter and ran to the drawer but I wasn't fast enough. My little sister had grabbed the doll and was running up the stairs. I grabbed the hammer and followed her running into the stove. When I pulled myself up I twisted the knob on accidentally lighting the burner. Riley was hobbling down the stairs as I passed her. She screamed fire and tried to run."Get out now." I yelled to her. When I got to the hallway I heard the front door open and close.
