The Misery

Chapter 10

The first hour of June 7, 2015

The doll and I bike about for about three hours until we reach a town. When we get there, it's about 3:00 am. I hop off my bike and the doll leads me to what I assume is her parents' house. she stops just outside the back door and tells me, "Put the clay body on the ground." I obey. The doll slumps to the ground as she exits it. The air around me grows cold and for a split second I see the ghostly shape of a beautiful girl. It winks out of existence and I hear Dolly's annoying voice again. "Okay," she says. "Let's go in."

We enter the house. Then she turns around. "You must leave me," she said. "Let me get my revenge. Your reward is that I won't bother you. If you tell anyone about this, try to stop me, or stay behind to watch, there will be consequences." I hesitate. I need to make sure she won't destroy the entire town, but on the other hand, I really don't want to know what her "consequenses" are. I decide to bike home. As I'm exiting the driveway, I hear someone scream, and someone else shout, "Catherine, is that you?" I shudder and pedal away as fast as possible.

June 7, 2015

I get home around 6:00 am and go straight to bed. I'll just tell mom I can't go to the lake coz girl problems. An hour later my mom comes in. "Wake up, Daughter," she said. Don't ask why she calls me daughter and not by my name. "I don't feel good Mom," I lie. "I have bad cramps." "Oh alright," she says. "See you in a few hours."

As soon as I hear the car pull out of the driveway, something tumbles into my bedroom. I look down at the floor below my window. "Hello, Daughter," says Dolly.
