We exit the first town and proceed to the next, just a 6 miles away. I really wondered who's that Nun next to Mr. Rody the Clown on the picture that is taken last 1992, and I cannot clearly see on whats the background of that place to where the photo was taken.

"I really wondered whats inside that doll house"- Mina said. "That is why we need to find the key in the next town"- I said.

Its still hot but why the aura in this areas was two times hotter?! I stopped and already see a sign of Mr. Rody's toy store from afar. I guess this is his biggest branch store than the first one. Well, I need to go in there to know the story behind the doll house. I parked the car just infront of the town.

"Lets just get inside"- Mina said.














"Rrrrrrrrrrrrr..."

I turned around and my eyes widen. ZOMBIES!!!!!!

"Quickly used that crowbar to enter!"- Mina panicked and I speedily open the old door and immediately locked it.

"Phew"

"Why is that zombies were creepier in real?!"- Mina said.

"Well, we better move. Now where are the keys"- I uttered and walked. I felt shivers when I heard footsteps from upstairs.

"Meow~"


"Oh a cat! Why is it its in the cage?"- I went near to the gate and it suddenly scared me. Tsk. I look at the door beside the cage, locked. Aha! Maybe the key on the cat's neck was the key to this room!

I open my bag and grab some tiny piece of the bread and give it to the cat. I waited until it eat that piece. Yes!

"You sure is one hell of a kind human"- the cat said and removed the key on its neck and I get it. "Look under that box, its a missing shoe from a doll behind that room. Try to find the doll with only one shoe in it."- the cat then stretches its legs and sleeps in the cage. "Thank you"- I said and open the dusty room with so many scattered dolls.

"Geez, how are we going to look for that doll with only one shoe?!"- Mina exclaimed. "Dont worry, Im sure we can find it. Ill get my flashlight"

I tiptoed and tried to fit some dolls with one shoe in it to this shoe. "Mina, come a help me. Gather some dolls with no shoe on the next shelf"

"Got it!"- she said and went down. Argh! This dolls are so old like some are in the 17th century but most is the dolls from 18th century. Why is no doll is matched to this shoe?!










"Gesielle! I found one! Its a very exquisite male-looking doll!"- she pulled the doll and went near to me. "Guess this is it"- I said and carried this 6-inch doll in my hand, Mina helds the flashlight for me as she sitted on my shoulder again.  





The moment the shoe was successfully in this doll's foot. It suddenly jumped off my hand and looked like he was panicking.









"Where is he?! Let me kill him!!"

"Woah woah take it easy there male doll"- I tried to calm him down and he was still catching his breath. Weird, this doll really looks like a human. "Who are you young lady? And who's doll is that?"- it asked.

"Im Gesielle-Stoneheart Lee. This is Mina, same as you a talking doll"- I said.

"Well, I dont know how long does my shoe was gone missing. As I remember, I was a design doll of this store over the years until......a man killed some of my co-dolls in this store."- he sadly said. I grab a hold of him to see a closer look.

"You can trust me. Im on my journey to rescue my Grandma. Whats your name?"


















"Name's Nakamoto Yuta. Everyone calls me Yuta"

"Well Yuta, have you know anything doll house key for this doll house?"- I asked. He observed the doll house and even touched the walls. I admit, this doll house a big and a bit heavy. Like I was carrying a heavy box. "Wow, this sure is a very nice doll house of yours. Like it was built in the 18's. Keys? I think we have some here"- we followed Yuta when we run through the cabinets of this room. "Here! Its the only key that matches the shape and size"- he hand me the key.

I kneeled down and open the door of the doll house and it spreads wide open. "This doll house sure is old. Bonnie must be very sad the moment this doll house was also broke by that attack before"- Mina said as she was walking inside. Meanwhile, I saw Yuta stiffened. "Whats the matter Yuta? Arent dolls like to explore a doll house?"- I asked.

He slowly touches some things inside it. He stopped at the 3rd floor of the doll house. That place to where he was standing lit up and some magically happens that it turns to be a ball room and added some colors in it. And some areas of the house was still dark and no color. "I remember now! The reason why I lost my shoes it is because I love dancing. I am a Dancing Doll!"- he said. A spark lits in his shoes. I looked at it. "Let me see Yuta"- I carry him and looks whats in his shoes.










1

"1?"

"So, this doll Yuta is No. 1?"- Mina

"I dont know whats the number all about. But please take me with you. I wanted to see the outside world"- he said. "Of course, lets go. But will you be staying here inside the doll house"

"Nope Gesielle. I will stay inside the doll house if I need to rest"- he said. Why do I feel different about Yuta?

"Ok Yuta, but be good ok?"

"Count me in. Gosh, I never been taken out of the store before."- he excitedly said and hopped on my other shoulder and I closed the doll house and placed the key to my necklace.

"Wow!! Wait, the zombies are still outside. Lets go to the back door"- Yuta said and we went there at the back door which is dusty. It was a very grassy backyard so I carefully hold the doll house and successfully went to the car. Those zombies has no reactions but just stayed outside the toy store. "Is this a zombie town, Yuta?"- I asked. Most of them were slow-mo.

"I remember that this town was cursed to a zombies since I heard from the man who created me named Mr. Rody said that this town has many people with beautiful places. I cant remember when it was but that is the reason of Mr. Rody before he went home and locked the store"- he narrated. Hhmm, I think Mr. Rody went home to the first town before anything happens.

"Is the cursed happened before he left? Or vice versa?"- Mina



"Vice versa. The curse happened the moment he left the store"- he answered. So, I guess Mr. Rody knows anythinf before he left. Or, its just coinsidence?

"Relax at the back Yuta. We are going to have an adventure. I will be looking for my Grandma who disappeared by the imagine who just snapped its fingers and take her."- I said as I put the seatbelt on. "Hhmm your experience was indeed sad. Especially your Grandma was taken away from you. Dont worry, Im sure we can find her. Im curious to solve some cases of the rooms inside this doll house"- he said. "So you are No. 1 from the 18 dolls. 1 down, 17 to go"- I smirked.

"Thats it, I was curious right now by what youre saying about the other 17 dolls. Tell me along the trip"- he smiled and I turned the engine on and went off.
