**WORK IN PROGRESS ** "Oh, God" I whimpered, choking back a sob. He pulled on my hair so that my back arched and I felt his cool, shaky breath at my neck. "There's no 'god' here, love...just me." He whispered into my ear. *** Desperately trying to escape her past, Cora fled her home country to hide and take what was supposed to be an "easy" job taking care of a doll named Brahms in a mansion for a a few weeks.

They told me the house was empty. That the boy I was supposed to care for wasn't real. Just a doll. Just a job. But then I heard things. Felt things. The whispers in the walls, the way the air shifted like someone was always watching me. I should be scared. I should leave. But there's something about him-something that keeps pulling me back. Maybe it's the loneliness in his voice. Or the way he lingers in the shadows, waiting for me to see him. All I know is... I don't think I want to run anymore.

Brahms uncle carries out his late sisters request. The house stays in the family and a nanny to take care of the doll.

This version has some changes in characterisation. Brahms is a little more human, and less psychotic, and Greta is now Laurie (due to copyright minimisation) is a little more vulnerable. The story begins 2 weeks into Laurie's employment, one day before the Heelshire's commit suicide, five days before her life is changed irrevocably. This story line explores how things might have been had Laurie and Brahms had time to get to know each other, and how Brahms reacts and responds to Laurie's more understanding approach to his situation. Brahms's monster is made .... can it be unmade? Contains sex and swearing. I have changed Cole to Joel, and Sandy to Amanda.
