A Dummy's Lady - A Goosebumps Fanfiction {Completed}

My Baby Doll

I was in total shock. I brushed a strand of hair that was blocking my eyes. My body had a desire to shake. My legs had a desire to run, even though that they were exhausted from all the running that I did already. My feet had a desire to leave the spot where they were standing on. But there was a problem.

I could not move. It was as if some mystical power was holding me in place.

"Do not attempt to leave me this time, my queen," the puppet said, his brown eyes locked on me. "When you saw me, I placed you under a spell. A spell that would make you unable to get away from me. So now, you can only get closer and closer to me." He whispered. "Until we touch. And hold hands."

My face twisted in disgust. "Yuck!" I stated. "In your dreams! There is no way that I will hold your stupid, wooden hand!" I rubbed Tamara's little hand. "Especially after what you did to my sister! Scaring her with those dumb gnomes! Making her cry!"

"Hmm?" He chuckled. "Who told you that? The Invisible Boy?"

"Yes! He told me that you ordered the gnomes to do whatever it takes to get her upset!"

"Really. And you believed it?"

I did not answer him. I just growled like a beast. I was really mad and ticked off at him for what he did to my baby sister. She did not deserve to get scared. She is just a poor, innocent infant who does not know what is going on in the world.

I kissed my sister's forehead...and felt something weird.

I licked my lips and kissed her forehead again, only to have not felt soft flesh. I smacked my lips together. The touch against my lips felt more soft...and rubbery. It was a strange feeling.

"What is the matter?" Slappy asked. "Does the poodle have your tongue? Or are you preparing to give me a kiss?" He sat straight up and straightened his bow-tie. "I am ready for the kiss when you are, baby." He winked.

"Ew! As if!" I declined his offer.

"Oh? Then what is it? Why are you playing with your lips?"

I looked away from him and gently tapped the top of Tamara's head with a finger. I felt no little hairs. No flesh either. Then again, her head is as hard as a rock, so I would not feel flesh.

In spite of that, the touch against my finger felt like...plastic.

I held the baby out to get a better look at her, but it was too dark where I was standing. I glanced at the puppet and growled, knowing very well that I could not move away from him, thanks to his stupid spell. I took a step forward, an inch, out of the darkness and into the light. A streetlight near the football field casted its light on me, Tamara, Slappy, and the black car.

"Well, would you look at that?" Slappy commented. "A few more inches, and we will be close enough to hold hands and kiss." He clapped his hands excitedly. "I cannot wait."

I frowned at him. "The only reason that I even got closer to you is because I was in the dark. I had to get in the light. I need to know that I am holding Tamara."

"That is all?" He snickered. "I could have told you that you are not holding your lovely sister."

My eyes widened. "What?" I took a look at Tamara.

And immediately realized that it was not Tamara.

It was a baby doll.

"Ah!" I let out a cry, surprised by my finding. I tossed the doll aside and glared at the evil dummy. "Where is my baby sister?! Where is she?!"

The puppet chuckled once again and crossed his wooden legs. "I am sorry, my dear," he spoke. "She is gone. Gone forever." He narrowed his wooden eyebrows and smirked. "She is dead. My friends killed her. But enough about her." His eyes stared into mine. "Why did you kiss the Invisible Boy? Because I just might have to end your life as well."
