Still Doll                                                           By Lady Foxyboo    Who am I you ask, as you sit there staring at me in your mortal fear? Looking at my long, wavy, brown locks and cold ,black, blank eyes. My old fashioned tattered dress, holding my tiny teddy bear. I will tell you who I am …   My name is, Emma Lee. I am not like you, nor am I like anyone else, fore you see .. I am not alive. I use to be before I became what I am now. A shell, doomed to live this way forever , my eternal soul trapped inside. Are you ready? Here is my tale…    It was a gloomy fall day when my family moved to town. We had been searching for a house for while now, when my parents came across this old Victorian house. It was 2 stories high with balconies and vines running up the gate and along the side of the house. As we entered we looked around, of course it needed some dusting , but nothing looked out of sort …least not yet. Before long we had gotten our things inside and put our stuff away. As dinner was finished and cleared away, my mom told me it was time for bed. I nodded and made my way to my room. As I walked along the hall leading to my room, I got this uneasy feeling that I was not alone. Something was watching me, wanting me. I dare not tell my parent, they would say it all was in my head. I lay there in my bed, staring at my ceiling wall , as I suppose most would do being in a new house. Much as I tried, I could not go to sleep, suddenly I heard this sound as if a whisper in the wind calling my name, “Emma….Emma”. I sat up in my bed, the sound not coming from my room or down the hall , but from the attic right above me. Ignoring it did no good as it got louder, so I put on my slippers and went out to the hall. As I look up I see the string leading to the ladder, I pull it and watch as it comes down. I slowly make my way up the ladder, not knowing what I may find and hoping I will be alright. At the top of the ladder I climb into the attic and take a look around. Not seeing anything at first, I sit there and wait. Then I see it a chest in the corner, brightly lit in blue. Making my way over to it, my heart is jumping in my chest , eyes wide. As I peer inside, my eyes meet something I didn’t expect to see. It was a doll, not like any doll I have ever seen. I picked it up and my eyes stayed locked on it. I couldn’t put it down, it was as if I was meant to have it. I took the doll back to my room with me, boy was that a big mistake .. As the night drew on, I began to get this feeling , something wasn’t right. I couldn’t move. I opened my eyes to see the doll was sitting on my chest, staring at me. I stared at her frightened. From out of nowhere in my head I heard a voice, it was her voice , the one I heard before. “ Emma…Emma…set me free Emma, I want to be free”  I couldn’t speak , wondering what I should do. I finally got up the nerve and asked “ h..h.. how do I do that ? “   She looked at me deeper. “ Give me your body Emma “ “ NO!” I cried. I tried to get up, but found I still could not move. I did my best to keep calm, but it was made clear there was nothing I could do. Last thing I remember I heard her start to sing , that same blue light began to show  and I felt myself grow weaker. Try as I may to remain awake, I could not hold on anymore and I passed out. Finally I awoke, the sun was shining in my room, I tried to get up but found I couldn’t feel anything. My legs, my arms , everything was stiff. I try not to panicked, when I hear a voice , this time it was my own , but it was not me talking. I look over and see my body standing with my parents. My mom holding me, but it wasn’t me. “ Emma, I am sorry but things did not go through on the house and we must go back to our old home “  Then I heard myself say, “ that’s ok momma , I wanna go home”      I couldn’t believe my ears, she took my body , she took my life. Now I am nothing but a shell. So you see that is why I am here, sitting on you now , singing my song. Fore you see I am … the Still Doll …     You, whoever you are , I ask you this  then I will let you be … please  oh please… wont you .. Set me Free…….
