ClaireArrggghh...
- I gnash my teeth and force back the words that want to come out.
- Praying “it” doesn’t notice me, I grip the duvet tightly over my head.
-
ClairePlea... Please, let me go!
-
ClaireHELP!
-
ClaireAnna! Dora! Someone help me.
- The thing drags Claire away.
- Next, I hear the sounds of chewing.
-
The ThingMugchdc, mugchdc!
-
ClaireAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGH!
- Claire lets out a blood curdling scream, then everything goes silent.
- 15 minutes later
-
AnnaI think it’s finally gone.
-
DoraNo, no, no...
- Tears are running down Dora’s face.
-
AnnaI can’t believe it came again. I think it’s hunting us one by one.
- Dora is still lost in despair.
-
DoraNot again...
-
DoraFirst it was Lucy. Now Claire is gone too.
-
AnnaGet yourself together Dora, we can’t stay here.
-
DoraWhere can we go? It’s dark everywhere.
-
AnnaWe have to make a plan.
-
AnnaWe have to fight back.
-
DoraDid you see how it looked? There’s nothing we can do?
- Dora falls and sits on the floor.
- She lets her hands fall to her sides, dejected and defeated.
-
AnnaGet yourself together Dora.
-
AnnaWe can’t just sit and wait to be hunted.
- Dora continues to wail loudly.
-
DoraI don’t want to end up like Lucy and Claire.
-
AnnaShhhh!
-
AnnaKeep quiet. We don’t want it hearing us.
- I grab Dora’s arm and pull her up.
-
AnnaLet’s go.
-
AnnaHere’s what I think we should do...
- The next night
-
DoraI can’t do this.
-
AnnaYes you can Dora, this is the only way.
-
DoraWhat if it doesn’t work?
-
DoraWhat if it gets me?
-
DoraI don’t want to die...
-
AnnaShh... keep your voice down, it’s almost midnight.
-
Dora Ha! I won’t be keeping it down when it’s tearing me apart!
- Her plastic body heaves up and down as she shivers in fear.
- I run my hands through her beautiful blonde hair.
- Hair that I had washed with shampoo so many times.
-
AnnaIt’s for our own good, plea...
-
DoraNo! Think again!!
-
DoraLet’s find another plan.
-
DoraI don’t want to be torn apart...
- Dora tries to get up from her position.
- I whisper urgently.
-
AnnaStay down Dora, we don’t have much time left.
- I quickly crawl to meet her, and grab her carefully...
-
AnnaNothing will tear you apart, Dora... I just need you to act as bait.
-
DoraBut... but... what if I end up like Clair and Lucy?
- The mention of Lucy broke my heart.
- She was my newest “friend”, my twin.
- Her red hair stretched out just like mine.
- To think the last thing we did was drown Mark’s special fish.
- Mark was so upset. She didn’t even get to apologize before she was gone... God why...
-
AnnaNo no... you won’t I will protect you I promise.
-
DoraI’m scared...
-
Anna(sign) I am scared too... but we need to avenge our...
- Footsteps...
-
DoraA... An... Anna... It is here.
- Hugging her tightly...
-
Anna Dora... be calm...
-
AnnaRemember the plan.
- Footsteps draw closer ...
-
AnnaI love you...
- I kiss her forehead softly, then I crawl quickly to the dark corner...
-
AnnaOur father in heaven.... Hallowed be thy name...
- The wind blows harshly as I hear the leaves rustle in the distance.
- My heartbeat quickens.
-
AnnaThy kingdom come... thy will be done on earth...
- The monster crawls in, dressed in a black overall.
- It has a cape hiding all its facial features... I can only imagine how grotesque it looks.
- The monster raises its head and looks towards my corner.
- My heart skips a beat.
- My hands grip the knife tightly, I’m ready to pounce.
-
AnnaAs it is in heaven...
- The monster turns away from me, and faces Dora.
- It gets ready to pounce...
-
AnnagIvEUsThISdAy!
-
DoraAnn... ANNA!!!
- Dora screams.
- I leap from my corner...
- Arm arched... knife glistening in the moonlight.
- My feet hit something. CRAP!!!
- I stumble over my toy box, and the knife misses the monster’s back.
-
The ThingEeeek!
- I jump on it’s back and raise my hand, ready to strike again.
-
AnnaYou’re not going to kill Dora.
-
AnnaDiiiiiieeeee!!!!
- The monster’s cape falls off its head, revealing beautiful red hair... similar to mine.
-
The ThingMUMMYYYYYY!
- My hands stop in midair...
-
AnnaMark??
- Our mum runs into my bedroom and turns on the light.
-
MumAnna... what are you doing to your brother?
- Mark scrambles to his feet.
-
The ThingMu... Mummy... She wants to kill me because of Dora.
-
MumDrop the knife Anna! Dora is just a doll.
-
MumThey’re all just dolls.
