That was when the dollhouse that Alfie gave Amber started glowing. "Nina, look." Amber and I said. "The dollhouse." Amber continued as we moved closer. Amber started doing the classic hand wave over the smoke, trying to get it to disperse. "Why is it doing that? Does it have batteries?" Amber asked. Someone knocked on the door. Nina gasped.
"Who is it?" I asked. "Fabian." Fabian said. "Okay." Nina said before he came in. "Hey, how... What is it doing?!" Fabian asked, coming in. We tried to get the smoke to disappear from the dollhouse, but it wouldn't stop.
"Guys, look at this. This was Sarah's." Nina said, looking at the engraving. "Which might explain why I felt such a connection to it when I saw it when we were up in the attic." I said.
"Sibuna." Amber said, covering her right eye. We each waited a moment before doing the same. "Sibuna." Fabian said. "It's ten o'clock." Victor started, saying his nightly ritual. "Victor." Nina said too quickly. "You have five minutes precisely! And then I want to hear a pin...Drop." Victor said. Fabian didn't leave. We are going to get in so much trouble.
I sat on the edge of my bed, trying to keep calm. I remembered reading somewhere that stress wasn't good for the baby. "Hide it!" Nina shouted, the three of them trying to get the dollhouse to stop smoking. Fabian stupidly touched it. "Ow! Hot, hot, hot. It's hot." he said, cradling his hand. "Is there a boy in there?" Victor said, right outside the door. The other two tried to stop the smoke while Fabian was holding his burned hand closer to his body. I sat on the bed taking deep breaths. "Do something!" Nina panicked. They took one of Amber's hot pink sweaters and covered it, standing in front of it as Victor came in the door.
"You are well aware of the rules Mr. Rutter. To your room immediately." Victor said, stepping aside. Fabian left quickly. Victor smells the air. "Where is that smoke coming from? Hm? Well?" he asked, looking for the source of the smoke. "Ooh." Nina's gran said, looking at a fake watch. "Did I miss my curfew? Sorry Victor. Don't put me in detention, will ya?" she said.
It was then that he noticed me trying to calm myself down. He walked quickly over to my bed and sat next to me on the edge of it, pulling me into his arms. "It will be alright." he whispered into my ear, stroking my hair carefully. It took a bit, but I finally calmed down enough for him to go. We went to bed soon after that, all the excitement having died down. "Violet, we'll be here for you when the time comes." Nina whispered in my ear as she hugged me.
