I sit around the warm circular fire ring, watching the doll burn to death. "You girls ok over there," I calmly ask. "I guess, it's just that we really want to," Marcy pauses, waiting for her twin sister to respond. "Not now Marcy, cooking s'mores was mom's favorite thing to do with us," Darcy sighs. "Fine, Markus lets cook s'mores!" Marcy say in her best-too-bad-Darcy voice."Umm.....no what anything to get our minds off of this doll, come on girls lets go inside to get all the good stuff we need!" I yell with excitement, Marcy skips happily into the house, while Darcy says she'll wait outside. "You sure Darcy?" After Darcy nods yes, I go inside.

While getting the s'mores ingredients together, I hear a scream, "Darcy, it's just a bug!" I yell frustrated. "The doll, is try to hurt me!" "It's dead, impossible," I groan a little, walking outside mad. The doll is grinning, struggling to get out of the fire. "How?" I mumble. "Remember I never die, I won't hurt you but they will. Should've let me kill ya cuz then you wouldn't be in this mess right now," the doll chuckles an evil laugh.
"Wait, can you give us more information on they?!" Darcy squeals. "I warned you," the doll whispers, fading away, making it dark again, and it ruined our fire. "Awww, I wanted to make s'mores," Marcy sighs. "Well maybe we can....go out to eat tonight?!" Darcy yells with excitement.
"Maybe, but I can't drive, and you guys hate walking," I respond wiping my short brown hair out of my face. "We will!" Marcy shouts annoyed. "We promise!" Darcy jumps up and down. "Fine, but I don't got any money on me, so we might have to sneak some. Oh and dad stored his four wheeler in the shed, fits up to four people if you do it right," I let out a deep breath.
"All right kids, listen I'm in charge now, so go get ready, I'll get the ride," I kick a small rock. "Hey what's that weird light doing over there?" Marcy turns her head and points. "A flash light," I say observing it, and handing it over to the twins.
"Be careful, I'll use the moonlight to guid me to the garage. Now get packing we'll leave at," I pause looking down at my dusty blue watch. "If my watch is correct it's 8:30, and we will leave at 9:30, now start packing!" I declare getting to work on my own job I assigned myself.
