Before i start my story, let me introduce myself. My name is Victoria Lenming.I am 36 years old. I have 5 children, well lets say, used to have 5 children. A 6 year old named Sofia, two 10 years olds named Dallas and Alicia, a 14 year old named Jacob and a 18 year old named Kaylee. I live at my friend Bethany's house in California. I did have my own house in England before this incident happened.

I was tired and couldn't get to sleep. I went downstairs for a cup of coffee, suprised that it was actually 1:00 pm. No one was downstairs, besides little Sofia. She was sitting by the window, talking to it. "Who are you talking to, sweetheart?" I asked.

She looked at me. "The girl in the window." She answered. She pointed to the window. "Do you see her? She is in the window!" I looked at the window, thinking that she was just making a new imaginary friend like the 6 other ones. "Does she have a name?" I asked. "Naymi!" Sofia answered. I looked at her. Naymi. How did she come up with that name? I just went into the kitchen and got my coffee. The day went on normally for awhile. I went to my desk and started filling out paperwork from work, but got hungry and went downstairs for a snack. When i got downstairs, Sofia was putting butter on toast.

"Well, who is that for?" I asked. "Dallas." She answered. "Naymi told me to give it to him."

"Oh," i said. Well, i thought, at least this imaginary friend is making her to good stuff. I grabbed an apple out of the fridge, when i turned around, i saw Sofia sprinkle something on the toast. I thought it was cinnamon, so i was fine with it. She put it away when she was done, and ran upstairs to give the toast to Dallas. I ate my apple, and Alicia came home. She ran to her room (which she shared with Dallas) and screamed bloody murder. I ran upstairs, and when i saw the sight, my heart dropped out of my chest. Dalles was still ask a rock, bleeding from his mouth with the piece of toast in his hand.

I ran downstairs and checked on what Sofia put on the toast. Poison. I ran upstairs quickly to her room. "Yes mommy?" She asked. "WHERE DID YOU GET THIS!?" I yelled. "AND WHY DID YOU PUT IT ON DALLAS'S TOAST! DID YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID TO HIM? YOU KILLED HIM!" She looked at me with sad eyes. "Naymi gave it to me." she whined. "Like i said. She told me to. I just want to be a good friend." I looked at her madly. "THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU KILL YOUR OWN BROTHER!" I turned her around and gave her 10 hard spankings. Then made her sit in her room in her closet for the rest of the day. I burried Dallas in the front yard and went to bed.

When i woke up Sofia was talking to the window agian. She was smiling hugely. "Your welcome." She whispered to the window. I tilted my head, confused. Then i saw it. Her clothes were drenched in blood and her hands were all bloody. I ran upstairs to Dallas's and Alicia's room. Nothing. I looked in Jacob'd room and Kaylee's room. Nothing. I looked in her room. Nothing. I looking in the bathroom and started crying. There, sat my three other kids, drenched in blood, with knifes all over their bodies.

I went downstairs and slapped Sofia. She started crying. "What was that for?" She said quietly. "FOR KILLING YOUR FUCKING SIBLINGS." I yelled furiously. "Bu-but Naymi told me to. She is my best friend. If she wants me to do something i do it." I slapped her again. "STOP LISTENING TO HER! STOP KILLING YOUR FAMILY! I CANT BELIEVE YOU'RE EVEN MY DAUGHTER! STOP TALKING TO THIS GIRL! DO YOU FUCKING HERE ME! LOOK AT ME! STOP FUCKING TALKING TO THIS FUCKING FAKE GIRL!" She started crying more. I sent her to bed. It was 3:00 am. I went to bed myself.

When i went downstairs the next morning, i almost screamed in fear. Sofia was talking to the girl in the window again. But i could actually see her. She was in the window, like a reflection you would see when you looked in a window. Her hair was black and covering most of her face. She had the most brightest blue eyes i have ever seen before. She was wearing a red t-shirt and a black skirt. She was singing something to Sofia. "Mommy she is teaching me to sing!" Sofia said happily. I covered my eyes, and started crying. I was scared. How was this possible. "Sofia," i said, shakily. "Stop.. talking... to... her..." The girl looked at me. I almost fainted. She said something to me i would never forget: "YOU.. WILL.. REGRET.. SPLITTING.. US.. FOREVER..."

Scared, i dragged Sofia away from the window and into a closet. I started crying into her shoulder and she hung onto me tightly. She fell asleep soon, and i did too.

I awoke from the sound of loud giggling. Sofia was no longer in the closet with me. The giggling went all the way to Sofia's room. I opened the door and turned on the light. It was still dark when i did though, because the room was covered in dark red blood and corpses. I almost fainted, but instead i started crying. There laying all of my children, dead. And from the ceiling hung my little Sofia. And standing there, was the girl in the window. She was holding a knife. And then she started singing in the toon of ring around the rosies:

"Ring around Sofia, she dead now, you see huh? Corpses, corpses, they all fall down." When she sang that last part, the 4 other children not being hand went from sitting up straight to laying down. And little Sofia, she fell from the ceiling, with a rope around her neck choking her. She was still alive, but then i heard her die. I couldn't believe it, my little Sofia died right in front of me.

"I told you, you would regret it." The girl said. I ran out of the house as far as i could go, deep into the forest and into the other side, which was about a 35 mile walk. I called my friend Bethany and she flew all the way out here to pick me up and fly me to her house. I told her everything that happened, and i started crying, she hugged me, and told me i was safe now. The only reason i am writing this right now is because kids outside are playing Ring around The Rosies.
