Dollhouse

Chapter 2 Blair & Joy

Blair's POV

After school Emily went out to dinner with her enormous family. She has three brothers and four sisters. I don't understand how she can afford to shop like she does.

Mum was in the kitchen making dinner when I got home. "I'm making cheeseburger soup for dinner sweetheart, don't eat too much." She says as I grab a granola bar.

"Yeah I know." I tell her.

I run up to my room and take a quick selfie. Instagram has gotta stay updated on my fab body.

I toss my phone on my bed and hear a clunk. I turn around and see box shaped item on my bed. I sit down on the blanket and set the box on my lap.

I open the box and see a plush teddy bear. Who would give me a teddy bear? I stopped playing with things like that years ago.

I set the box down and walk down to the kitchen.

"Who bought me the teddy bear mum?" I say as I walk down.

"What?" She questions.

"This teddy bear was on my bed, who bought it for me?" I ask her.

She looks at me confused and holds the teddy.

"Blair, this was your sister's."

Joy's POV

Alex came over and we watched movies and played video games. After a while I got bored, Alex too. We ended up just chilling in the living room.

"Are you sure I can't play the game tomorrow? I feel fine." I said hopeful. Alex sighed.

"You're not fine Joy." He stated. "Watch." I said as I stood up. It hurt a bit but I was fine to stand.

I put a little bit more weight on it and pain shot through me. I ignored it. "See? I'm fine." I lied.

Alex helped me back down to the couch and sighed. "You're not fine." He pushed. "Alex." I whined. "No." He said sternly.

I groaned and laid down on the couch. Everything was quiet for a few moments. I started to hear a faint noise, coming from upstairs. It sounded like a melody of some sort.

I looked at Alex and he didn't seem to have heard it. "I'll be back. I have to use the washroom." I lied as I got up. "Let me help you." He insisted.

"No. I'll be fine." I said quickly. He sat back down and I carefully made my way up the stairs.

The noise sounded like it was coming from the attic. I carefully pulled down the steps and entered into the attic. I saw a few boxes piled up in the corner. The noise was faint, but was coming from there.

I slowly walked over towards the boxes. I took another step closer and the floor beneath me creaked. The noise stopped. I was closer to the boxes now. I slowly reached my hand out to open the box in front of me.

I could feel a cold chill as I got closer and closer to it. I opened the box and something popped out at me. I screamed loudly and fell backwards. I had squeezed my eyes shut in the process.

"Joy?!" I heard Alex's worried voice from below. I opened my eyes and saw a jack-in-the-box. I was breathing heavily by now.

"I'm okay." I called. That was the scariest and strangest thing ever...

Blair's POV

Mom took the teddy bear back to my sisters room and got angry with me. Like honestly, she treats her room like a fucking shrine. I love my sister to death and all but I wouldn't touch her shit.
