Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark

Haunted doll

My family lived in a village far from any houses in the cities, our house is the only one reign in that place and we've lived in the forest since it was a village of mountains and cliffs no people visited it coz it was far to walk and too narrow for vehicles to enter.

My name is Nath I have a twin sister named Kath we were born on the same birthdate but we didn't look alike my mother called us un-identical twins or fraternal twins whatever you call it. On the day of our birthday which is Halloween because we're born on November 2, it's our 7th birthday this year. Our father gave us a gift and also our mother, we opened mom's gift first, it was a pair of shoes and a bow tie my twin sister kinda seems to like it since she likes to wear them, but for me I don't want it, I want something to play on.

Then we opened the last gift which came from our father. My sister opened it and she received a dress she smiled because that dress was cute and sassy, I thought mine was a dress too, but when I opened it, my eyes widened to see a big doll. I was really happy that time and thanked Mom and Dad for the best gift. I like my doll the most. I even named it Nathalia, the same name as I am, I always carry my doll when I go anywhere, and I don't leave it by my side since it is really important to me.

I treated that doll as my life because if it weren't for my doll my life would be nothing but a boring miserable childhood. I had no one to play with since my twin sister didn't want to play with me, So the doll served as my playmate, that's why I loved it so much. I didn't realize something after I had that doll for weeks, there was a dark mystery to it.

One night when I was playing with it on my bed coz I couldn't sleep that time it was 9:00 pm. I talked to my doll and said to it that she's my best friend, but little did I know she replied and told me I'm her best friend as well and it even turned its head towards me. I was dumbfounded and at the same time, I nearly put the doll down. I looked at its back to see if it was a talking doll. You know finding its batteries to find out If it's talking. I started to get nervous when I found out there were no batteries and it was just an ordinary doll but why does it talk? My heart beats fast because of fear, I put the doll away throw it in my bedroom and run towards my twin sister's bedroom. I saw her sleeping, I woke her up and she was annoyed to see me waking her up.

"What is it, why are you waking me? It's already evening and you should go to your bedroom". She said, before I could say a word to her I looked at her door and told her everything, but she just thought that I was playing pranks on her.

"Indeed, I'm not joking around, I see it in my two eyes that the doll talked," I said in a timid voice.

But as I expected she didn't believe me and told me to sleep already. I couldn't find a way to explain and show it to her so that she would believe me but I thought to myself maybe I was imagining things. I went to my bedroom and saw if my doll was on the floor. I'm shocked to see it was on my bed I remember I threw it on the floor but why is it in my bedroom?. I started to panic and closed the door, I bit my nails and went straight again to my sister's bedroom. I woke my sister again and told her to come with me to my bedroom to prove to her that my doll talked and moved by itself, my sister didn't hesitate at all and followed me. I slowly opened my bedroom door but I was more afraid when the doll was gone from my bedroom.

"What are you playing at Nath?" She said with a mad voice, she still thinks I'm joking. I tried to tell her that I saw that doll on my bed before I showed it to her, but she just laughed and told me that I was crazy. I knew I wasn't crazy I saw that doll on my bed. She told me to go back to bed and don't interrupt her when she's sleeping. I couldn't go back I was afraid to see that doll. But I don't have a choice and just sleep in my bedroom, as I went to bed I covered myself in a blanket. I never saw that doll, I woke up in the morning seeing that doll by my side.

Until now I tried to throw that doll away but it keeps on returning to me. I even burned it and threw it in the river but no matter how I tried to get away from it, it just kept on returning. I told my father where he bought it but he said someone gave it to him. I knew this doll was possessed I'm still figuring out how to get rid of the doll for good so that it wouldn't bother me anymore.

The end~
