The Doll

Neleh Harris

There was only a crack of light that creeped through Neleh’s bedroom.The room was normally bright when she got woken up but not this time. The door knocked open, Mum was there to wake her up.
“Come on Caitlyn, we need to get ready,” shouted Neleh.
“ Get up the alarm has gone off twice you lazy thing”.
“What for it’s eleven o’clock ?,” mumbled Caitlyn.
“Remember it is when Lucy and Lockie died ?,” replied Neleh.
Lucy and Lockie is Neleh and Caitlyn older siblings, they died mysteriously soon after birth. Every year now on the 13th May they go and visit them
“Do we have to,’’ whined Caitlyn as she was slowly getting ready.
“Well you know the theory right?,” The theory is where if they don't see their siblings they will end up like them
“DEAD”.
“ Yeah, you say this to me every time,'’moaned Caitlyn.

Caitlyn and Neleh jumped into the car, fifteen minutes later they arrived at their destination.
“Bye girls see you at twelve o’clock,’’ Mum said sweetly.

The girls got out of the car and walked along the old, overgrown, gravel path. They thought the place has changed because there was now skeleton heads along the path as well as bats flying ahead of them. They wondered where the bats came from but as they came they went instantly out of nowhere. Then they entered the spooky, dark cemetery by a rusty noisy gate C-R-E-E-K.
“Now, where is their grave?,” asked Neleh.
“Uuummm Neleh, we have bigger problems than that.”
“Hi, I’m Lockie and I’m Lucy we’re your older siblings. “

There they were standing in front of a creepy, old, rundown, teeth chattering, spine chilling house.
The door flung open and a doll comes out, “OOOOOOHHHHH Lucy and Lockie I see you’ve brought some friends,’’ said the doll creeply.
“Actually we’re there sisters,’’ Caitlyn replied with a bit of an attitude.Neleh shoved Caitlyn with an evil look.

“What,” whispered Caitlyn.
“Welcome, I’m Annabelle,”she said giving Neleh and Caitlyn a hand shake with her tiny little plastic hands.

Annabelle invited them all in her house and sat them down on an old torn black and white checkered couch and she disappeared into the old misty kitchen, we could hear bowls rattling, she must have been cooking something?. She returns and she tells the young girls about her life.

Annabelle said she first came to life when this little girl had left her out in a storm she then got struck by lightning. Her body went BOOM and went up like fireworks ZAP BANG CRACK as she went in the pitch black starry sky. Somehow she ended up here in this house she has lived here for more than 10 years now. Annabelle has always wanted to give that little girl pay back but she has never found her.

DING went the bell in the kitchen . ”Oooooohhhhhh the cupcakes must be ready, just give me a few minutes to ice them,’’ Annabelle said with a scary voice.

Annabelle enters the kitchen, the girls look around and ask what the old chandelier is made out of because Caitlyn was doing a report for school about what old chandeliers are made out of. Annabelle informed her with “it is made out of really thin pieces of glass in fact almost like tiny little glass shards. If that chandelier was to be knocked down it would kill someone instantly!!! ,” with a evil laugh afterwards.

“Your cupcakes are ready,'' said Annabelle walking in through the doorway.
“Thanks,’’the two girls responded.
There were eight neatly decorated cupcakes which was gone with in 12 minutes.
“They were delicious , '' moaned Caitlyn who ate more than her share..

An hour went by very quickly ,the girls both had a little nap while Lucy, Lockie and Annabelle were all planning to attack the two girls." Caitlyn ,Neleh," said Lucy and Lockie tilting their heads towards each other,in a terrifying voice.
