THE MANNEQUIN

"Oh Please! It's Just A Story!"

Chapter 1: "Oh Please! It's Just a Story!"

"Have you ever heard the tale of The Possessed Mannequin?" Hailey's best friend 10 year old Amanda arcs up a brow, shinning a torch at her face,

They are having a sleepover and they are sitting on the floor

"No. Tell me" 10 year old  Hailey grins

"A girl named Emily was pushed off a cliff by her 'best friend', who's name we don't know. It's said her spirit possessed a mannequin and killed her friend! The spirit is trapped in the mannequin and it comes alive at night, brutally killing anyone who happens to buy her" Amanda and Hailey are nose to nose at this point,

"How do you know the mannequin?" Hailey asks, eyes bright and wide in interest,

"You don't! But it's said that at night it starts to change. First the skin... Then the hair......then...." Amanda switches off her torch

"Then?" Hailey's voice shakes with both fear and adrenaline, looking around for Amanda,

"The eyes" she hears a voice behind her and when she spins around, Amanda's face is lit up, showing her golden eyes.

Hailey jumps up and screams and pouts as Amanda drops to the floor, laughing.

"Amanda! Not cool!" she crosses her arms

"You should've seen your face! You were like waaaahhh!!" She laughs more, her brown hair flowing around her like a water.

"That was scary!" Hailey says, her voice very low, "Is it true? Is the mannequin real?"

"Oh please! It's just a story!" Amanda waves it off, standing to her feet and going towards the bed, then she pauses, looking at Hailey "You weren't really scared... Were you?"

"A little bit" Hailey shrugs, fondling with a golden lock that framed her face, her bright blue eyes downcast

"I'm sorry. Didn't mean to scare you" Amanda suddenly says

"It's alright." Hailey beams, running to the bed.

They get under the covers and Hailey turns of the light.

"Good night!" Hailey says

"Good night... Don't let the mannequin get you." Amanda says in a sinister voice

"AMANDA!!!"

10 Years Later

"Mum I'll be fine! I'm only one flight away! Yes Henry's helping me unload...." Hailey says to her mum on the phone, unloading boxes of clothes, wedging the phone between her shoulder and head "Amanda's mother's ill so she'll be coming next week... Ugh mum it's a small boutique not an entire fashion and makeup line! Sorry I yelled.... Okay I love you too! Tell papa I love him... No I haven't reached Monica, but I'll call her!" she holds the phone well, blowing a golden lock out of her eye " Okay I love you too kisses! "she cuts the call just as Henry comes in with the last mannequin,

"That's the last of them! Sheesh this one was heavy!", he whines, flexing his muscles,

"Your such a baby" Hailey giggles,

"Well your baby, needs a kiss right here" he touches his lips and leans to her

"Do you now" as she leans in, she here's clearing of throat,

"Okay I do not wanna see that" a voice grumbles from outside

"Amanda! I thought you couldn't make it!" Hailey hugs her best friend

"Mama said it was fine... No she literally stormed to pack my bags, called a cab and pushed me outta the house" she shrugs, breaking the hug "She said there was no way I'm missing the opening of your boutique"

"Well your mom is amazing!" Henry chuckles

"Hello Hen!" Amanda grins, knowing that would annoy him

The side of his lip twitched "Can you stop calling me that! 7 years and still no difference!"

"You know you love me" she chuckles

"Unfortunately..." he grumbles

"I am beat! I need food! You're buying" Hailey flips her hair at Amanda

"Why me? Your fiancé is here!" Amanda gapes

"Your late" Hailey spins round and fakes a frown

"Don't worry, I'm paying" Henry puts he's around her shoulder and pecks her head,

"Ya think?" they laugh while leaving.

  As Hailey turned off the lights, a pair of white glowing lights appear with a whispering sound.

'H...ly....ha...lyy...Hailey'
