Doll House [On Hold]

Chapter 7: Our Plan

For our plan to carry out, I need the keys

"Ding!" The bell rings. I grab my bag and homework and head to the front. I look around for Henry but can't manage to find him.

"Someone's in a hurry," A guy says from behind. It was Ethan.

"Hey, I'm just waiting for someone," I answer,

"Oh actually, there's something I've been waiting to ask,"

"And what's that?"

"Would you...go out with me?"

I froze in shock, from what I just heard. I stood there thinking, "Did he seriously ask me out? Why me? What do I say? Do I say yes? I want to. He's a year older, so he's pretty great."

I later notice Henry walking towards us and asked, "What's up?"

I glance over to Ethan and notice him looking away, disturbed. Hmm, I wonder why? He later glances back to me and says, "You don't have to answer now. You can text me your answer after. Goodbye now," He brushes the hair off my face. I could not stop blushing...

"Ok, I sure missed a lot," Henry points out, "By the look from your face. I can safely guess he asked you out,"

I turn to Henry not surprised since my face showed it.

"So what you gonna say,"

"I want to say yes but I don't know,"

"How about you think about it later and now, we can walk home together, discussing our plan?"

"Oh r-right," We began our walk home,

"To get through the white door, we need the key. Since my mom is leaving, she'd have to pass the keys to me. I think you should bring your defensive stuff and I'll bring mine. While my mom gets her car packed, you will sneak through the back and go through the back door, waiting for me in the kitchen. I've heard noises from behind that door, so I want you to grab some knives just in case. As I give you the signal, that she's gone, we'll begin our mission. Also..." I began coughing.

"Geez, you seem to have it all planned out. Is that why you kept looking dozed off during class?"

"Yes and also, I need you to get rid of your stupid cat."

"Hey, Mr. Snuggles is not stupid. He managed to get into your house like a ninja."

"HE SHATTERED MY WINDOW!" I yell, "And that was the day I moved in,"

"Calm yourself, woman, he's just a cat."

"I-" I stop myself. "I'll see you later," I reach my house, and go inside.

"Mom, I'm home," I walk inside,

"Mom?" I see her car keys and jacket, so she must be home. "Mom where are you?" I notice a track of blood heading to the kitchen. Was that mom's blood? I rush to follow the trail. I find mom fainted on the floor facing the white door. "M-mom? Oh, my god!" I notice a little message written in blood. "Your Next!"

"Oh geez, you can't even write proper grammar?" I fix the blood note then ran for help.

"Help!" I yelled,

"What's wrong?" A fellow neighbour asked,

"Help, there's blood all over the floor!" I grab the fellow neighbour from outside and bring him to the kitchen. But suddenly the blood...it was all gone?! So was mother.

"I-I swear there was blood, on the floor, right here!"

"It's just your imagination, kid," She rolls her eyes then leaves, annoyed,

"But, but, but,"

"But what, child?" Mom appears,

"I swear, I saw blood!"

"Oh, you didn't see blood. I just tricked your brain into thinking you did."

"H-how?"

"Perks of being possessed I guess." She mumbled,

"Oh," I sigh of relief, until I realized, "Wait, possessed?" I look back at mom to find her gone.

"What the hell?" I say in confusion,
