The Lady In The Cupboard

Chapter 8

Snakes fly down around me. I start to scream, but Ivy runs up behind me and covers my mouth. I don't know why I was scared, there was always the chance that this would happen. The snakes are tied to the roof. One lunges at me, and I step back.
"Well I don't think that's the right one," I say sarcastically. "Which next?"
Ivy points at a pane of glass near the window. I begin to walk, but I am halted by a scream. I turn around, Ivy's lips are sealed shut. I didn't scream. I run to the dollhouse.
"Stop!" Ivy startles me. "Glass."
"We don't have time." I reply as I walk around the pane. "We'll do it later."
I look to the witch in her cupboard upstairs. Her lips haven't opened, but her eyes flicker. Any more noise and she will wake. We look around the dollhouse, and I finally spot a doll in the room we just left. She looks frightened.
I speak to Ivy, pointing at the dollhouse; "Someone else is here."
"Wait here, I'll go get her."
Ivy disappears. Of course, she can teleport to. I laugh quietly.
"Hello?" I hear Ivy whisper to whoever is in the other room. I watch through the dollhouse.
"Who are you? Where am I?" Yells the new girls voice.
"Don't worry. I'm not here to hurt you. My name is Ivy." I grin as I here that she introduces herself with the name I gave her. Is it possible that we are friends in this place?
"Where am I?"
"It's okay. I will explain everything later. All that you must do is stay quiet. Trust me."
The girls voice sounds like it would belong to someone the same age as me.
Ivy leads the girl through the door. She almost screams when she sees me, but Ivy cups her hand around the girls mouth.
"Who are you?" She speaks to me.
"I'm Ava. I'm lost here like you. Don't worry though, we're going to get out of here. Ivy can help us. What's your name?"
"I'm Abigail. Can someone please tell me what's happening?" The girl says panicked.
