And through out all of this Katie was left waiting for a bus. She started playing some music on her phone whilst scrolling through Instagram as usual. When the bus arrived she got out her pass, showed it the driver and grabbed a seat.

A toddler was sat in front of her with her mother. The girl had a lovely baby doll in her arms. Katie smiled and went back to her phone. Once the bus had arrived the toddler stopped her.
"You were smiling at my dolly." The girl laughed. Katie didn't know what to say and just smiled. "My dolly likes you." Katie gave the girl one last smile then left the bus.

She entered a forest which was suprisingly quiet today. It's normally filled with other girls walking home from school or little boys and girls riding there bikes, but no one was there today. Katie carried on walking until she heard something fall behind her. She turned around to see a doll in the middle of the path. The exact same doll the girl had on the bus.

"Okay, not creepy at all" she thought to herself. She turned around and carried on walking, speeding up her pace. She heard another thud and when she turned around the doll had gotten closer. Katie hated dolls, she was terrified of them growing up and never liked them now.

Katie turned around and started running. She didn't turn look back, she just kept her head low and had all her concentration on the music and the pavement in front of her.

She ran until she stopped and ran into someone. "Sorry, didn't mean to.." as she looked up, the clown was stood there with a baby in its hands.
"Hiya Katie, do you want my dolly." As he said this he revealed his sharp set of fans and screamed at Katie. Katie turned around to see the baby doll now 6 ft tall staring down at her.

Katie turned around and ran past the clown top speed. He turned to Katie laughing. "This is only the start of what's to come Katie, for you and your friends. I'll be seeing you all very soon....."
