The Wrath of the Friendship Doll
Siobhan heard a knock at the front door. Siobhan was told by her mother to never answer the door when she was home alone so Siobhan knew she couldn't answer but she could peek through the peep hole and find out who was knocking! Siobhan thought to herself that her mother was much too paranoid being that she was fourteen and totally competent to take care of herself when mother was at work. Siobhan thought it might be a birthday present because her birthday was right around the corner, to be specific only 1 day away! Siobhan looked through the peephole. Siobhan saw someone in a coat dash away quickly so she could not see who it was. Dang! Thought Siobhan to herself, and just couldn't help but open the door.
Siobhan turned on the outside light before opening the door. Siobhan wished she had turned on the light sooner and maybe she would have seen who was lurking at her doorstep. Oh well thought Siobhan, they are gone now anyways so there is no use in giving it a second thought.
Siobhan proceeded to open the door. To Siobhan’s amazement Siobhan saw a very large package on her front step. Yay! Thought Siobhan it is a gift! Siobhan quickly dashed back into the house and shut the door behind her locking both locks.
Siobhan went into the living room with her large package. It was marked..."Open now and get a very nice surprise...” Siobhan then tore apart the brown paper and looked at the box; all at once she opened it and peered inside. It was a doll. It was a very unusual doll to say the least. The doll was made out of porcelain and had blond hair and very unusual eyes. The doll had eyelashes and lots of eyeliner that was smudged around its eyes. The dolls clothes looked rather old and dingy. Siobhan thought this was the weirdest present she had ever received but somehow Siobhan liked this doll. All of a sudden the doll opened its mouth and said "hello" in a very deep voice. Siobhan’s eyes opened wide and looked at the doll and mouthed “hello” back but not making any sound. Siobhan was amazed! This must be one of those talking dolls thought Siobhan, and took the doll out of the box.
The doll moved its eyes looking around. Siobhan’s cat, Precious didn't like the doll and growled at it and ran off. Siobhan thought that was odd of Precious to do, oh well, he is just a silly old cat, what does he know. Siobhan started to examine the doll closer. It didn't have anywhere to put batteries and seemed all self contained. It seemed to be just a porcelain doll that could talk and move its eyes on its own. Siobhan got up to go fix something to eat. Siobhan was toasting some pop tarts and looked up and the doll was sitting next to the toaster with a very odd smile on her face. This doll had teeth and was smiling very widely. The doll had a expression that seemed kind of sinister to say the least. Siobhan looked at the doll and said "well” you are not getting any of my pop tarts so you just better lay off." The doll answered Siobhan and said...”I don't want pop tarts I just want us to be friends." Siobhan jumped. Siobhan looked at the doll. Siobhan was really scared now. She felt chill bumps run up her back and on her arms. Siobhan looked at the doll as the doll was staring at Siobhan.
Siobhan told the doll, "well I do not want to be friends with you and I am going to get rid of you now!" Siobhan grabbed the doll by its feet and started to take it toward the meat grinder. Siobhan’s dad loved to grind his own meat and she thought this was a great idea to just smash the doll right inside of the grinder and grind her up.
The doll got away from Siobhan somehow. Siobhan looked down at the doll. The doll looked at Siobhan. "I just want to be friends, Siobhan, can't we just be friends?" the doll sneered. Beep Beep Beep! Siobhan rolled toward her alarm clock and turned it off. Whew! Siobhan thought, I am so glad that was a dream. Siobhan started to get out of bed. Siobhan’s mom came into her room with a large box and said to Siobhan. "Happy Birthday!" Siobhan looked at the box. Siobhan looked at her mom. Her mom starts "well”, aren't you going to open it?" Siobhan said..."well, o.k. and thought that was just a crazy dream and it could never really happen. She started to open the box and a little hand grabbed Siobhan from inside the box. Ow! Siobhan said that hurts! The doll jumped out of the box and smiled at Siobhan, it was the same doll from her dream!
Beep! Beep! Beep! Siobhan looked at her alarm clock, and said, oh that was just a dream and thought she had never had two dreams in a row like that before and got out of bed. She was looking forward to a nice birthday. Siobhan went toward the kitchen to eat breakfast and on the table was a big box and on the box said "open” now and get a really nice surprise!"
