The Doll

A LONG STORY. ENJOY!!!!!

The eyes that move and follow me across the room. The small arms that sometimes move. The haunting words that she speaks. The underexplained things that happen in that room no one knows why we purchased the doll. The doll was pretty according to my 10-year-old daughter and I agreed. The day it all went downhill and something terrible happened to me. Let me start from where it all began.

My daughter asked for a new doll for her doll collection she has started. She is a super big fan of pretty dolls.old, new, pretty she likes any type of doll. We were both walking hand in hand her petit hand pointing towards a doll store. She jumped with joy. She ran towards the store, "Aliana!" I shout her name. It's no use she is in the store probably eyeing a doll that she desperately want.

I walked in looking at my surroundings at the of all the antique dolls. I saw Aliana sitting on the ground with a pretty doll in a blue box with a clear lid. It had long brunette curls, a red and white short dress with white knee socks and black shiny shoes with a red bow on the front, her eyes were the colour of the ocean and she had a tint of pink blush and red cherry lipstick on and her. In her hand, she had a basket with artificial plants, blue, purple, yellow flowers that almost look real and her other hand had 3 fingers up which seems a bit odd but I didn't think much about it. 'Mummy, can I get her please? shes beautiful. " she looked at me with her puppy eyes and she smiled. "Of course, Ali." As those words left my mouth she smiled so brightly.

we made our way to the cashier, Aliana places the doll on the counter. The cashier who looked about in her mid-thirties looked at the doll suspiciously like something was wrong with it. "Are you sure you want this doll, darling? They are lots of pretty dolls." The cashier says to my daughter. "Yes, please she is so pretty. " Aliana says back. "OK, darling." The cashier says. The cashier who we now know that her name has Sandra placed the doll in a brown paper bag and gave it to Aliana. Before leaving Sandra grasped my wrist and whispered. "Don't leave the doll with the child or anyone else, bad things happen when you do. Also, keep the doll in the box." She let go of my arm and went back to the back of the store. what was she on about, I thought.

We arrived home, Aliana went to show her dad what she bought and I went to the kitchen to make tea. I kept thinking of what Sandra said about the doll.what was she on about? I asked myself.

It was 7:00 pm and Aliana has been playing with the doll all day, it was time for a bath and Aliana wanted to put the doll in the bath with her. which I refused because I didn't want it to get ruined. I placed the doll on the shelf with Aliana's other dolls near the door and light switch. After putting her to bed and giving her a goodnight kiss, I slowly made my way to the living room where I found my husband, Tony. He was watching tv whilst drinking his tea. I gave him a peck on the cheek and sat next to him.

It was 4:00 am and I heard a bang from Aliana's room. I went to investigate the noise, stumbling out of bed I reached the pink oak door that said 'Aliana' I opened the door and witnessed one of the dolls on the floor near the window. I looked over to my baby girl to see that she is fast to sleep. She moved in her sleep and I saw the doll we bought today. I picked up the doll and placed it on the shelf where I put it when Aliana went into the bath. "You won't be able to stop me." I heard a whisper. I looked around to see what it was. At first, I thought it was Aliana but she was fast to sleep. As I was heading out of the door I heard a baby's laugh that slowly turned to a low pitch evil laugh. I left the room without thinking much about it and blamed my tiredness on it.

A couple weeks later weird things started to happen, mirrors breaking, weird noises, things moving especially the dolls and Aliana been acting weird.

It was weeks later and I went downstairs to cook breakfast. Aliana was at school and Tony was at work and I had a day off so I took this time to clean around the house. I cleaned each room I went to Aliana's room to clean. I walked in dragging the cleaning supplies behind me. I made her bed and went to her doll house near her mirror. I looked twice at her mirror in the corner they were marks like someone has been scratching on the bottom left corner. "I'll ask Aliana about that," I say out loud. I made a mental note about it. Then I heard the devilish laugh again, I looked around and saw nothing. Then I thought it probably one of the dolls that are running out of batteries. So I made a mental note to change them later.

"Mama going to die." I heard a faint whisper. I whipped my head around to see where it came. Nothing. I was going to turn the lights off when the doll we bought seemed like it had moved from the middle of the shelf to the end of the shelf near the light switch. when I went to switch the light off in the corner the dolls face turned towards the light switch and I froze. The doll started to laugh. The laugh was high pitched and then it became a low and devilish laugh. I saw a dark figure come towards me and a sharp pain through my heart and I screamed.

Aliana walks in with her red jelly shoes and her lovely school dress and she held her father's hand whilst she comes through the front door. "Rebecca," Tony yells." Mummy, where are you?" Aliana says in her sweet voice whilst taking her shoes off. she skips upstairs to her room and sees her bedroom door closed and her light on. she advances towards the door. Trying to open the door but it wouldn't budge. she tried even harder with all her strength but it wouldn't shift. A dark red liquid was flowing under the door and stopped in front of her feet. Aliana looked down and touched it, she looked at the weird sticky thing on her fingertips Tony came upstairs and looked at his daughter's finger then to the floor then to the floor. Panic struck him he pushed Aliana's bedroom door with so much force that it nearly cracked when it opened. Aliana screamed so loud and Tony bent down and held his wife's lifeless head in his lap. Aliana looked away whilst sobbing and to her shelf near the door and saw her doll she recently purchased with 4 fingers up.
