Chapter 8

Emma’s hand tightly gripped Julia’s arm. She practically dragged her sister to the last room where Mike had gone. There was no way she was letting Julia out of her sight.

“What is it?” Emma spoke though Mike’s back was to her and he was looking down at the floor on the other side of the room. She hurried over and stood close to him, following his gaze with her eyes.

She jerked back with a gasp. A scattering of toy trucks, tin soldiers and blocks sat on the floor near the window...but it was the doll in the torn gingham dress, the blue eyes open staring blindly at her, that sent a shiver up her spine. The blonde hair was in dirty tufts, showing a pink flesh colour of scalp in places. The mouth of the doll was wrong. It gaped wide at an angle that showed it’d been smashed and torn, never to close again. It looked like it had seen all sorts of horror...or been party to it.

She almost jumped out of her skin at Grace’s touch on her shoulder.

“What did you find?” Grace edged by her and looked down at the doll. “Gross! Imagine having that thing as a toy! Dressing it and playing with the horrible thing. I’d never sleep a wink.”

“No kidding!” Barry had joined the group.

Mike bent forward to pick it up and Emma snapped. “Don’t! Leave it alone!” It was the same feeling that’d she’d had with the hair brush. This stuff was bad. She didn’t know why or how she knew it, but she did. “Let’s get out of here.” She spun around and started for the doorway. They shouldn’t be there.

THUD! THUD! THUD!

Emma jolted back and her breath caught in her throat. The floor under her feet vibrated with the force of the bangs. Her heart thundered fast in her chest and she froze to the spot.

“What the hell was that?” Barry crouched lower, looking like he was ready to race out of there at any minute.

“Emma?” Julia stepped over to the doorway, her eyes and face panic stricken. She clutched her sister and held her hand. “What was that?”

It was enough to spur Grace into action. “Lily! Where are you?” She shoved past her cousins and Barry, racing out into the hallway. She heaved a slow sigh. “There you are...thank God.”

“It was the front door. It banged shut. We’re not supposed to be here. Now we’re trapped.” Lily’s voice was soft and without expression.

Barry stepped out into the hallway. “What do you mean, we’re trapped? We’re not—”

BANG! Followed by the sound of breaking glass.

“Shit! What was that?” Grace pulled Lily’s arm, bringing her sister close.

“Let’s get out of here! Hurry!” Barry’s feet thundered on the stairs. Grace pulled Lily along, following him quickly.

When Emma stepped forward a flash of silver seemed to protrude out of Lily’s back pocket for a second. But there was no time to give it any thought as she and Julia scrambled to the stairway. When
