solitaire: The Living Dummy

Ch.7

Juan and I stared at the shadow. The shadow of the dummy. It wasn't moving it was just standing there.

"Um... Antonio?", Juan asked in a trembling voice.

"Y-y-yes.", I replied also trembling.

"Do you see the doll?", he asked.

"Um..yes why?"

"I have a plan."

"Cool. Wh-wha-what is it?"

"At the count of three we will run and tackle the doll and lock it in the closet.", Juan explained.

"Yes, yes that will work.", I whispered.

"Ok, ONE, TWO, THREEEE!", we scram as we runned towards the doll.

"Yes we did it now let's- what!?", I shouted as I saw that it wasn't Emi, it was another doll, a regular one.

"Whata Heck!", Juan shouted as he saw the doll.

"Ok who cares let's just look for the doll. Umm.... I mean this doll couldn't do any of this mess so before the dummy makes more damage, we've got to find him!", I said.

"Dude, now you know that its not gonna be as easy as it looks to find the puppet. We lost him three times already!", Juan said.

"You are right Juan, we need help.",I agreed.

"Sooo, who are we calling?", Juan asked.

"Let's call Nick!". I replied.

Nick is also a very good friend of ours but he couldn't come yesterday. Anyways, he can help us. He runs fast and nows how to tackle quick. Juan and I are also very fast but Nick is stronger and taller. We are all in football. He would be a very good help. With Juan and Nick here, the dummy's going down!

I grabbed my phone and dialed (956)555-5555 which is Nick's phone number.

Hello? Sup Nick! Yeah what's up Tony?! We need you to come. Whatcha need? Explain to you later. Right now just come. Alright. I'll be there in... 10 minutes. Ok but try not to take that long. We really need you. Ho ho we? Who's with ya?! Jaja chiflao! Juan dude, Juan. Just get ready. Oh yeah and bring your paranormal kit ok. Don't ask why.  Ok? Well Bye. Yeah, bye.

I hanged up and put my phone on the table.

"What he say?", Juan asked.

"He's gon' be here like in ten minutes.", I answered.

"Dude, don't you forget something?, Juan asked.

"What?"

"You're grounded!"

"Oh CRAP that's true!"

"Dude just call him again and tell him to jump the fence and then call you when he's here so he comes in from the back door.", Juan suggested.

"Good idea!"

I turned around to pick up my phone to call Nick again but my phone was GONE!

"Dude! My phone!", I shouted desperately when I saw my phone was gone.

"Oh my god! That freaking doll tricked us again!",he said.

"There must be something? You know like how come we couldn't hear any footsteps or anything?"

"You're right. Its like we are right here,  next to your phone and it disappears through thin air!? That's messed up boy!" , Juan said agreeing with me."Dude, what if your house has secret passages?! No, no nevermind you're gon' think is stupid and-"

"True!", I interrupted.

"Yeah, yeah true. What I said is so true, its unbelievable!", Juan said kidding around.

"I'm going to check if mom has the house planners still.", I said slowly walking toward her bedroom.

"How old is your house?"

"Like six years? I Don't know im just going to check!"

When I opened the door, red paint was all over the room with our names written on the wall. It was all over the place. The walls the floor the bed EVERYTHING! As I looked around something got my attention. Footprints.

I started to follow them but then I realized something creepy. The paint finished at a wall, an ordinary, pointless wall.
