My eyes widened. "What?!" I glanced at the knife, and then at him. "Are you crazy?! I cannot do that!"

"Hate to break it to ya, but you must." The puppet grabbed my hand that had the knife and gently touched the tip. "Yes. Very, very sharp. So sharp that it can slice through anything. Even human flesh."

"No!" I threw the knife across the room. "I will not do it!"

"Oh?" Slappy waved a wooden hand, and the knife started floating by itself. "And why not? Why can you not hurt the person who hurt you the most? She should pay for what she did to you. Treating you like a slave. Slapping you." He waved his hand around, and the knife floated to me and fell by my feet. "If anything, she deserves it."

"N-no. I cannot." I looked down and rubbed my arm. "It...it would not be right. I am not the kind of person who hurts others, no matter what the case may be. Besides, if I did it, then I would be just like Cassandra. Possibly worse. And I do not want to be anything like her."

He sighed. "Just think about it, Shelly. End her life, and you will have your freedom. Do not take action for change, and there will be no change. She will walk all over you." He patted my shoulder. "Think hard."

I looked up and saw him leaping off the counter and heading to the back. I noticed that he left the dress on the counter. I picked it up and examined it.

It was a beautiful dress. The bottom of it reached the floor. It was white. Pure white. It had long sleeves and tiny amounts of glitter all over, making it sparkle.

I held the dress close to me, pressing it against my body. It seemed that it could fit me perfectly.

My cheeks got hot, and I laid the dress back on the counter. I looked down at the knife. I bent down and picked it up. I examined the pointy end.

"Yep. Sharp. Just like Slappy said," I said to myself.

I played with the knife, twirling it between my fingers, and then felt a tap on my shoulder. Alerted, I spun around, holding the knife out...

...and stabbed Cassandra...

...with the sharp end.
