Halloween story

Once upon a time, something happened in the Smith’s family, which changed Lucy Smith’s life.

It was 31st October, Halloween, and also the 5th birthday of the little girl of the house, Lucy.

She was so excited, she loved that day because she used to receive a lot of presents.

The day for the Smiths started at 8:00. They woke up as a normal day, and then they decided to prepare the stuff for the birthday party, but what they didn’t know was that it was going to be the worst day of their lives.

After spending hours preparing everything, it was time to welcome the guests. All was as they expected. The kids had a perfect dinner with a little bit of scary things such as: eye sweets, finger sweets, red juice… On the other hand, the decorations were amazing and really horrifying and the activities that they prepared were funny. After the dinner, it was time to give the presents to Lucy. Her friends gave her a lot of toys, but there was only one that caught her attention. That was a big red-headed rag doll, with two ponytails, a blue jumpsuit and a red-striped T-shirt. This doll had been given to her by her parents Darcy and John and her big brother Jack.

They had such a good time that day, everyone was happy and in the end all the friends of Lucy came back to their homes. Finally, it was the night. After dinner, like usual, she took a shower, put on her pajamas, and went to her bedroom. Then, Jack told her a story and in the end Lucy got asleep. But, that night Lucy did something different… She went to sleep with her new doll, which her parents and brother gave her, which was unusual for this girl, because she wasn’t used to sleep with dolls or teddies. “Jessica”, that was the name given to that special doll.

All the lights of the house were turned off, Lucy was peacefully asleep when she felt something, or maybe someone…. moving on her bed. Fastly, she turned on the lights of her room and everything was in her place, so she thought that maybe it was an illusion. The room was dark again. Lucy felt that weird movement on her bed one more time, but that time she didn’t turn the light on, because she thought that everything was on her mind. A few minutes later, she felt how someone was drowning her, she tried to scream, but she couldn’t speak, she tried to turn the light on, but she couldn’t reach the interrupter; when she started to see the blurring , finally Lucy could turn the lights on. It took her a few seconds to calm down, because she couldn’t believe anything. When she recuperated her breath she saw that Jessica wasn’t in her place, was the doll who was trying to kill her? “Of course she was”, thought Lucy.

After all these creepy episodes Lucy went to her brother’s bedroom, to tell him everything that had happened, and Jack told her “oh my God Lucy! Let me sleep, you’re crazy, it’s impossible that the doll tried to kill you”. After, she went with her parents to tell them the same “sweetie are you sure? We don’t think that’s possible. Maybe everything was a nightmare”, they said.

Nobody trusted her. Lucy went back to her bedroom, scared and furious. After a long time, she turned off the lights for the last time in her life; because that day, the little of the Smiths passed away. Her brother Jack found her without life the morning of the 1rst November, with Jessica, her doll, beside her.
