Baby

"Come to dolly"

"So, if I find you, you DIE" said the China doll, "and if I can't find you, you get to go home"
"....ok...." I said, "but why do you want to kill me?!"
"Because," said the China doll, "I'm evil, pure EVIL! Oh, and by the way, my name is Anne"
"My name is Julia" I replied, shaking all over. she flashed a horrible grin, like she knew I was scared, showing china made fangs like a vampire. I had better hide somewhere good, otherwise.....

"One.....two.........three" I heard Anne counting, "Four.......Five......Six"  She was nearly at ten already and I still hadn't found a hiding place. I was running upstairs on the squeaky, wooden floorboards. I didn't have that much time left. I started to panic, and then calmed myself down. I looked. I searched. I even checked, but there was no hiding place.

"Seven......Eight.....Nine"

I suddenly tripped over something sticking out the ground, a loose floorboard! I suddenly had an idea. I ripped the floorboard out the ground and jumped under, concealing myself underneath. Haha! Take THAT Anne! She will never find me here!

"TEN!" Came Anne's voice, "Ready or not, here I come!"

                                  *

I suddenly heard footsteps on top of the floorboard I was hiding under. She was here!
"Oh Julia!" She shouted, obviously angry that she hadn't found me yet, it had been approximately an hour, and my mum and dad were expecting me to be home by now. "Come to dolly" she said, "Come to dolly and DIE" she kept saying, over and over again, "come to dolly and die" "come to dolly and die"
Then, still standing on top of the floorboard, she began to sing a very creepy song in a very creepy tune: Come to dolly a-n-d die, come come come come come come come come to dolly and die, come to dolly and die."

Suddenly she ran away, her feet making paddy noises. When she was gone, (I double checked)  I slipped out from my hiding place, and crept downstairs to the door. But when I got there, she was standing in front of it, holding a huge, butcher's knife.

"Haha!" She cackled, showing the horrible grin again, you know, the one with the miniature fangs. "You thought you could outsmart me by hiding under the floorboards, huh?"
I remained silent, waiting for what was coming next.
"So, since I've found you, I now get to kill you" she crept closer, and before I could even think about moving, she jumped and, landing on my face, cut my cheek open! I made a break for the door, and got out safely. I quickly shut the door, hearing Anne's angry screams as I ran down the path to freedom. My cheek was throbbing, but that didn't matter now. I was concentrating on getting home, but I knew something for sure. I was never EVER going back to wardock house again.

I kept trying to forget about what happened with Anne, but the memory kept slipping into my head over and over again like a broken record. I took a deep breath, and opened the door to my house. The first person I saw was my mum. She gasped, and I knew what was coming. "Oh Julia!" She cried, "whatever happened to you!"
We went into the living room and I told her everything.
