Misty- The Cursed Doll

Is it.....moving?

Jenny loved that doll a lot. She used to play with Misty whenever she was free. She also showed it to her friends and they liked it too. Jenny threw away her previous dress and bought some new ones. She was the size of a one year old baby so it wasn't hard at all to get clothes for her.

Though Jenny loved Misty a lot and felt quite much attracted to her, Jimmy got a wrong feeling whenever he saw it. He keeps wondering why someone threw this doll in their dustbin? Almost every family here has their own one. Jimmy feels like there's something wrong about it. It's eyes are so.....ALIVE.

It was two nights later Jenny had found Misty. Jenny and Jimmy who shares a bed, were sleeping. It was about twelve midnight. In between them, Misty was lying down lifelessly. Jimmy couldn't sleep because of that. He was uncomfortable that it was right beside him. He just kept his eyes closed.

At that time, Jimmy felt someone pulling his blanket. He thought it was Jenny and pulled back. But someone was holding it tightly and strongly."Jenny, give me back my blanket! Take your own!" Jimmy told Jenny.

"What are you saying? I didn't even touch your blanket! Fool." She was still half asleep.

"But...someone pulled it....This doll..."

"Now if you say the doll did it, then it will be the most hilarious joke ever." Jimmy didn't say anything else. Maybe it was just his dream?

After sometime, Jimmy felt someone pull his blanket again. This time a bit harder. He turned around and in the darkness, all he could see was that doll's glittering eyes. "Jenny, it's not funny,"

"That's what I should be saying. It's not funny Jim."

"But....someone is actually pulling it!"

"Who? Misty?"

"How would I know that?"

"Okay okay I will keep it on the other side. Happy?" She kept Misty on the other side and hugged her to sleep. Jimmy finally felt relieved and tried to sleep.

Jenny turned around in her sleep. Misty was still on the other side.

After some time Jimmy again felt his blanket being pulled slowly. He turned around and completely freaked out. Misty was again in the middle of them.
"Jenny Jenny! how did it get here again?!" Jenny's sleep broke and when she saw Misty in the middle again, she was shocked.

"What? But I kept it....maybe I took it with me while turning around...."

"Whatever, this doll is creeping me out. Keep it somewhere else!"

"Geez....I will keep it on the table then." She got up and kept it on the table which was on front of the bed (the way their legs were facing), almost joined with the bed. She came back to the bed and lied down.

"Turn this way!" Jimmy said. Jenny turned to his side."Sleep now,"

But it didn't stop. It was about 2 am of the morning. Jimmy felt his blanket being pulled slowly again. This time it was being pulled down, not from the side. He ignored it first but when it reached to his waist it became fast and Jimmy freaked out. He sat up scared and what he saw in the darkness was impossible.

Misty was lying on the bed, right next to his legs. "Jenny Jenny!" Jimmy called her.

"What is it again?" Jenny woke up again.

"It....it's on the bed!"

"What....," Jenny sat up and saw what he was saying is true. "How did it.....maybe it fell down...."

"How can it fall from there like that? It pulled my blanket again! I'm sure! Jenny, I am scared!" Jenny looked at him. Even in the darkness she could see clear fear in his eyes. Jenny said, "I will keep it outside the room." She got up and took the doll. She opened the door and kept it beside the door leaning against the wall and closed the door again.

Jenny sighed and said, "I don't think we can sleep today, "

"it's because of that creepy doll of yours!"

"You are wrong, Jim. She is a doll. She can't move. It must be your dream. Now forget it and try to sleep."

At about 5 in the morning, someone knocked at the door of their room, twice. Jenny wasn't sleeping anyway so she heard it. She though she heard wrong and avoided it. But someone knocked again twice and this time louder. Jimmy's sleep broke. "Who is it?!"

"You heard it too?" Jimmy nodded. "I'll go check." She got up and went to the door. When she opened the door, there was no one there, but....

There was Misty, in front of the door, lying lifelessly, not leaning against the wall. This time Jenny got very scared. She understood what Jimmy said. "Is this doll....moving?" Jenny thought,  "But...it's not possible. It's a doll....it shouldn't move." She was scared. She took the doll in her hand and went out of the room. There's a Cellar in their house. She opened the cellar door. She couldn't see anything in the darkness. She kept it close to the door and then closed the door. She returned to her room.

"Where'd you go? What happened?" Jimmy asked.

"Nothing. Maybe it was a sound from outside. I went to check whether a cat got inside or not. Sleep. The whole night was just a waste!"

The next morning, they couldn't even open their eyes. When mom came to their room and asked them, "What? Aren't you going to get up from bed? Jimmy you too? You will be late."

"Mom, we don't want to go today. We didn't sleep even a bit at night." Jimmy tiredly said.

"Yes mom, please."

"Okay. Sleep then," mom said. After looking around, she asked, "Jenny, where's that doll of yours? "

"I kept it in the cellar as Jim was afraid of it."

"What? Why were you afraid?"

"No mom. She's lying."

"So is it going to be there?"

"No I am going to bring it back."

They slept peacefully until 12 pm. After they woke up, they felt energetic again.

Jenny went to the cellar to bring Misty. Misty didn't move a bit from there. She felt relieved seeing that. She brought it to the room and kept it on the table.

Jimmy sat at the computer to play games for a while. The computer table was opposite to Jenny's study table on the other side of the room. After Jimmy shut down the computer and the screen turned black, what he noticed almost gave him a heart attack.

He saw in the screen the reflection of the table and Misty. He saw Misty slowly stand up by herself and move her hands. It was walking towards the bed to intentionally fall. Jimmy's heart was pounding like crazy in fear. He froze in his chair, his eyes fixed on the computer screen. Then suddenly Misty turned towards the computer. Jimmy clearly saw it's glittering eyes in the black screen. It quickly sat down as if it noticed Jimmy.

Jimmy came back to his senses and immediately ran out of the room. Jenny was in the garden which was in front of their house. Their mom and dad went to their office so they were alone.

Jimmy rushed to the garden screaming Jenny's name. Jenny asked, "What happened.....?" Before she could complete, he said, "Jenny! That....that doll! It...it moved! Trust me, it did! I saw it! I saw it move! It stood up by itself....and-and it walked! Trust me! At night...what I said was true! It was that doll who pulled my blanket! It knocked at the door! Jenny....This doll is not a normal doll! Something is wrong with it! That's why someone threw it away! Please Jenny, get rid of it! Now it's just moving, soon it will start to do bad things!"

Jenny looked at her brother with shock. The whole night strange things happened and she also felt like that doll moved. The way Jimmy is saying that doesn't seem like a lie.

"Okay okay. Calm down. I will keep it in in the cellar inside a box for now. On Friday, we are going to go to the shop and sell it, okay?"

"Friday? What if something happens by then?!"

"Nothing will happen. Don't worry."

But she was wrong. This was just the beginning.
