The air was still, lifeless, despair filled the dark room. All but a single candle flickering at the end of the room and a chair which sat a little China doll. The doll's head spun, eyes meeting Alex's, "ALL. SHALL. NOT. BE. FORGIVEN " the doll repeated over and over again in a robotic voice."ALL. SINS. SHALL. NEVER. BE. FORGIVEN" the doll shrieked and engulfed itself in flames. A menacing laugh can be heard from the doll before screaming "ALEX, YOU WILL PAY FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE TO US" the flames dissipated leaving smoke and silence fell upon the room once more. A black figure resonated from the doll, its face barely visible but the candle light shows sharp teeth, bloodshot eyes, horns as long as a tree. The demonic creature attacked Alex tackling him to the ground, its hands wrapped around Alex's neck as he tried to break free. The demon screamed, Alex woke up, cold sweat trickled down his temple, his heart racing.
