"Daddy, check the closet please!" the little girl cried out as she threw her pink blanket over her head. "Allana, we've had this discussion, there are no monsters in your closet." The father said pulling the blanket off his daughter's head, "Go to sleep, you have school in the morning." The man left the room, quietly closing the door behind him. He returned to his room, laying down in the bed next to his already sleeping wife, sighing he closed his eyes and listened as the house settled. He soon fell asleep, he had a nightmare, of blood on the walls and his wife laying dead on the floor.

He jolted up out of bed and looked over at his wife then to the clock on his nightstand, 3:26 A.M. He stood up, no longer wanting to go back to sleep, he heard a knock on the door, quite loud, loud enough to wake his wife, "Wha-" The woman rubbed her tired eyes looking at the clock then at her husband, "Who would be at the door this late at night?" She asked sitting up.

"I don't know, wait here." He said as a scratching noise echoed down the hall. He grabbed a bat from underneath the bed and crept down the hall listening to the banging and scratching, as he turned the knob on the front door it all stopped, complete silence. He opened the door looking around the dark porch then stepping outside. As he did so the door slammed shut behind him and there was a high pitched laughter and the lock on the door clicked. The man dropped his bat trying to open the door then looking up he noticed a white paper taped to the door.

He grabbed the paper, unfolding it, it read 'Why'd you leave her alone?' The man stared at the paper for only a moment before smashing through a window with his bat, carefully climbing inside he held the bat up and ran to his room, "honey!" he screamed looking at his wife just laying there on the bed, he got close and realized she was still breathing, "What, what, what do you mean?" she said sleepily.

The man stood there stunned for a moment, confused as to what the paper meant. Then still holding the bat he ran to his daughter's room throwing open the door he saw a humanoid creature holding his daughter, humming a lullaby quietly to the girl. It looked up at him with completely purple eyes, it's mouth was sewn shut and it looked as if it had been crying. It had long sharp claw like fingers and silver white hair. It wore a black top hat with a large red feather, and two smaller black ones, as well as an outfit similar to that of a ring master. It's skin was pale white with stitches all over. As the light flooded in from the hallway, only shining on the creature it became more clear it had a female like appearance, and his daughter was smiling, also humming. The creature smiled lightly and stroked the small girl's hair as she listened to her hum.

"You put my daughter down." the man said holding the bat up, completely terrified at this things appearance. The creature did not stop smiling, though it sounded as if more children were joining in on the humming as glowing white eyes began to appear all over the room. There was a quiet whisper as the creature slowly backed towards the window with the girl still in it's pale arms, "You really should have checked the closet." it said as the thing stepped out of the window and the glowing eyes seemed to disappear.

The man stood there, paralyzed in fear of the creature he had just seen. He came back to his senses running over to the window and seeing nothing, the creature and his daughter were gone, he fell to his knees, crying as another child, with the glowing eyes walked over to him, in the darkness of the room and whispered, "She belongs to us now, she will make a wonderful addition to the show, also, tell sister I miss her."

The man swung the bat as the child disappeared and he continued crying. The wife burst in the door to see her husband crying on the floor, she turned on the light and stepped closer, she looked over at her daughter's bed and noticed a doll, very similar to their daughter, same size, same beautiful red hair and blue eyes, but it was made of cloth and looked sad. The woman looked back down at her husband then over at the doll as she too, began crying, the same had happened to her brother, and now her own daughter. She had seen the woman, heard her humming, such a beautiful melody, she knew of the doll, she didn't however, know what happened to her brother, or daughter after they were taken away, but she did know they weren't coming back.
