Prologue

Once there was a girl who Went on vacation with her family. On the way back,the little girl got a doll. Oh yes a doll.. A little little doll.

On Friday the 13th of August, they got a surprise trip to the Bahamas, but little did that know how much they would regret that trip.. On the way back Eliza saw a doll. She said “Mommy, I want that doll!!” Then the mom named Emily said “No, too expensive.” Eliza pouted and shouted and finally Emily said, “Fine.. But be good.”. And so, they got the doll and left The Bahamas. Eliza decided to name the doll Elizabeth.”Elizabeth, Elizabeth..”, Eliza repeated on the way home”Oh Shut up!” Screeched Eliza’s 10 year old brother, Eli.

“Don’t be mean to Elizabeth” Cried Eliza “that doll is so ugly Eliza” laughed Eli. “Mommy Mommy, Eli is being mean to Elizabeth!!” “silly girl, Elizabeth is a just a silly little doll” "Dolls don’t have feelings,” Said their Mother. All of Eliza’s family laughed. Eliza cried and the dolls eyes turned red… no one notice but Eliza did…… Eli then did something that he would regret… something he wished never happened. He scribbled on Elizabeth’s face with a permanent marker, turning Eliza’s smile into a frown. That was the last straw for Elizabeth….. Before the flight ended, Emily realized then that they were not in Texas New, Braunfels, it was New Mexico a very creepy and suspicious part of New Mexico, so when the Flight ended, Elizabeth rotated her head around and looked at

but, before anyone other than Eli noticed she turned her head and face back to normal. Eli said to his Mother “ The-The doll looked at me with a mad face and turned her head backwards!” Emily noted “Eli, you know she is just a doll stop saying weird things you are going to make Eliza mad.” So they called a taxi/cab to come tell them where they are and what the cab driver said was crazy. “ Hi I'm Bob the cab driver where do you want to go or know” Emily replied by saying, “Where are we, we just got off of that plane over there” “Um that plane has not been used or seen in 30 years” said Bob and as Emily blinked the second she opened her eyes Bob and the plane were GONE!

The children and Emily are now standing alone on an old, cracked airstrip. Looking around, they see they aren't at an airport, but in the middle of a derelict, dusty town. The buildings are abandoned, and all the clocks are frozen at the exact same time: 3:33. As they walk further into the village, they notice every single house has a doll on display in the window. The dolls all look identical to Elizabeth, with red permanent marker smiles drawn on their faces. As they enter one of the homes to find help, the dolls in the windows begin turning their heads in sync to follow their every move. One of the dolls in a locked display case starts to rattle. Suddenly, they hear a noise from upstairs. The children rush up to investigate, and they find a room full of dolls. The dolls' eyes all turn red, and they begin chanting in unison: "Eli is a bad boy! Eli made Elizabeth sad!".The permanent marker on Elizabeth's face begins to smudge and drip like blood.One of the children suggests leaving, but they find that the front door has been locked from the outside.

walking towards the children. They are trapped inside the doll-filled house.The dolls begin to move on their own, walking towards the children. They must now fight their way out and escape the village before the dolls turn them into one of their own kind. To calm Elizabeth's rage, a dark force instructs the children that they must offer up something of value. The children must choose between Eli, who is responsible for hurting Elizabeth's feelings, and Eliza, who has always defended her.If they don't choose, the dark force will choose for them, and the consequences will be severe. The children debate who should be sacrificed. They consider sacrificing Eli for his actions, but Eliza insists that she won't let that happen.The dolls in the windows all begin to turn red, and the doll from the display case begins to move. The children know that time is running out

“I..I don’t like this..” cried Enid the middle sister. “ Oh please Elizabeth spare us!! Please Oh Elizabeth… Don’t do this, I know you know better!” Cried Eliza. “Oh don’t beg a doll Eliza! This is your fault!!” Said the eldest sister, Elena. Suddenly, Elena was grabbed by one of the dolls and put in a big doll box! The box she was put in turned her into a doll!! “AH” cried Eli. “Now you know what it feels like to be a doll” *little girl giggles* all the dolls said in sync “Elena was a bad girl she made our master Elizabeth and Eliza mad!…..” “ELENA!” sobbed Eliza “ is there something wrong my dearest Eliza?” asked Elizabeth “please… Oh please spare us Elizabeth…” Eliza said. “Hmm.. ok I will give you all a chance.” Elizabeth answered “oh thank you Elizabeth” said Elena “ A game..” Elizabeth said

“ But first, the marks that Eli drew on my face with permanent marker will transfer onto Eli's Face forever.” said The dolls “Anything for you. Right Eli!” said Emily “Yeah MOM!”Eli said angrily, rolling his eyes. “HOW DARE YOU DISRESPECT ME!! WE GAVE YOU A SECOND CHANCE!!” roared The dolls and then, Eli also, became a doll just like Elena..‘ No-no.. Im so sorry I didn't mean to!! Tears ran down Eli’s face, and as tears appeared , marks and cracks appeared .. .. ..

“ now, where was ? oh yes, A game. Let’s play a simple game, and if you win, then We will release your brothers and sisters.” said all the dolls. “Um ok.. we’ll play your game, but please , Elizabeth..” Eliza’s voice trailed off, knowing that Elizabeth already knew what she was going to say. “Hmm.. what game,what game?ooo I know how about hide-in-seek?” asked Elizabeth but Emily, Enid, Elijah, and Eliza knew that it wasn't a question , it was a game.

Hide and seek and seek., More like hide and die. Elijah hates hide and seek because he always loses and the doll only game then 5 minutes to hide! Elizabeth said to Eliza “My dearest master why don't you stay with me this round, I wouldn't want to have to kill you would I.” Eliza cried “No Elizabeth you wouldn't.” Elizabeth smiled as Eliza stood next to her, while Eliza, Elizabeth, and all the dolls send in sync 5,4,3,2,1,0 READY OR NOT HERE I COME, HAHAHA! “My dearest Eliza please stay here with annebell my doll friend while I find some dolls and kids!” said Elizabeth. “Yes Ma'am” said Eliza sadly. Annabelle kept Eliza happy playing patty cake with her until.. Emily and Elijah screamed, “ AHHHH “ and then the screamingstopped, all Eliza could hear was a stabbing knife tears fell down her face as Annabelle comforted her. Until Emily, Elijah, and Enid walked over perfectly fine and then Elizabeth walked over with 2 dead dolls in her hand and said, “You Win” happily.

Eliza suddenly cried. “Oh thank you Elizabeth, oh thank you!” Eliza sobbed and cried And so did Emily, Elijah, and Enid. And Eventually, so did Elena and Eli once the curse was removed. Although Eli was still mad about the marks Eli thanked Elizabeth. “I'm so sorry Elizabeth, I Was rude to you….thank you… thank you for sparing me” said Eli. Elizabeth then smiled even though her smile was ugly she did it

with gratitude. “Oh you should go now, the doll express is leaving soon!” said Elizabeth. Elena was confused.“The doll what??”

with gratitude. “Oh you should go now, the doll express is leaving soon!” said Elizabeth. Elena was confused.“The doll what??” But before Elena could finish, they were suddenly in a airplane on the way back to Texas New Braunfels. When Eliza was about to get off the airplane, she whispered “thank you Elizabeth.. Although you did some bad things you were a good person” Elizabeth looked at Eliza smiling

the most warmest smile “No one has ever called me nice, nor a person. You have shown me how to love again Eliza… I mean it..” and so, the airplane disappeared. And so did Elizabeth.

“Goodness, I will never get you a doll ever again!” Sighed Emily. Eliza replied defending herself, “how was I supposed to know, that the doll could talk??”“Don’t you dare talk back to me after what we’ve been through!,Scolded Emily, “Do not forget I am your mother!” “sorry mom..”

Eliza went upstairs to her room quietly, And fell asleep. Then she dreamed. Oh yes.She dreamed that Elizabeth never got mad ,she dreamed that Eli said sorry on the flight home so we wouldn’t have ever see the splashes of blood that night, she dreamed that she lived in a world full of happiness and not in fear, most of all, she dreamed that Elizabeth was here to comfort her, to tell her she loved her and that they could be best friends…Then.. Eliza cried. She cried in her sleep, imagining all those things. She Cried so hard, that no matter how far she was, Elizabeth could hear her…

Lighting hit ..Eliza had woken up from the storm.Eliza then decided that she was hungry so she thought, “I’m going to get a snack, a sweet one!” So Eliza walked downstairs to get a snack.Then, she heard the door ring.. “Um..” Eliza stopped eating and her heart beating fast. Who would ring the door at this time? “Mom??? Mom???” Eliza was about to go inside her mother’s room, but a voice said “ don’t..” Eliza was more than just scared, she was terrified! But, she listened to the voice and ran back down stairs and opened the door, it was elizabeth soaked in blood. “ Elizabeth!” cried Eliza “what happened” “the dolls..” Elizabeth’s voice trailed off as everybody else came down.”elizabeth??” Eli and thefamily were so confused. ‘Elizabeth.. There’s blood..everywhere..” Eliza nearly fainted as she said those words. Emily decided to say something. “Oh Elizabeth, take a seat and tell us what happened my dear.”. And so, Elizabeth explained everything. “The dolls. They’re mad that there was no revenge.”

"I thought it was just a game. A war against the creepy baby dolls in the garbage field" said Elijah who was at the skate park for most of the conversation "It started as a game a long, long time ago," Elizabeth said, her painted eyes seeming to cloud with memory. "But the lines between play and reality blurred. The dolls... they began to feel things. Fear. Anger. And the children of that time, they got caught in the middle." “ And now we need to find a way to tell the war isn’t the right choice, we can make them look brand new again and give then back to their old owners to feel loved like i do with you guys” Elizabeth said teary eyed “ but in order to do that we need to get all the safety equipment as soon aspossible?” Elijah questioned. "They're being controlled by Annabelle," Elizabeth the doll whispered to Emily and Eliza. "A Cabbage Patch Kid who has gone rogue. She used to be my friend but now she’s convinced the other baby dolls that the house is theirs alone."

It was time for revenge. It was all the dolls could think about. “All I can think about is revenge” said Annabelle. Susie smiled, a very cruel smile. Then, She stood on the podium. “Fellow dolls, It is time that children stop treating us like GARBAGE! They treat us, as if we have no feelings, therefore, we shall treat them how they treated us, like they have no feelings.” all the dolls cheered, “YEAH!” all the dolls screamed and giggled. They giggled the most creepiest giggle of all. The doll were and ready. Annabelle had a great idea of a plan. “First a plan.” Annabelle began to explain her masterplan.”won’t we need a secret weapon?” asked one doll. “Oh yes we do. And I got just the thing.” Annabelle smirked as she showed her beauty of a weapon. “Behold, My Masterpiece!”
