Doll Face by Grace Parsons aged 10


“Ring” the school bell rang just as seventeen year old Lexxi  Stonebridge finished handing out the invitations for her sleep over party.  The sleepover that just to be on Halloween night, because she and her friends were too old for trick-or-treating anymore. On the day of the party, as Lexxi got off the bus, the wind was howling  and her long brown hair blew in the wind. “Perfect!” she thought as she walked by her driveway. “Now I just have to decorate and …she couldn’t finish her thought. She opened the door and to her surprise, the house was perfectly decorated. The walls were draped with spider web (fake of course!) and there were candles set up everywhere. “What do you think?” asked Lexxi’s mom as Lexxi walked into the kitchen. “I love it!” Lexxi exclaimed. Suddenly Lexxi heard the doorbell ring. It was Samantha.  And just like the invitation told her to she had brought an old doll. The girls were going to have so much fun making the dolls look horrible. When everyone was at Lexxi’s house, and unpacked, they got started ripping out the hair. Taylor grabbed a pair of scissors and started stabbing her doll and the girls smashed their doll’s heads on the floor. When all the dolls looke horrible, the girls put the dolls on the shelf and snuggled up to watch a movie. Three hours later Lexxi woke up. She looked around and everyone else was still asleep, so she tried to go back to sleep. She couldn’t. She walked to the window and opened the curtains. As she went back to bed she noticed the moonlight shining on her doll’s’ face. Suddenly the dolls eyes lit up, so did all the candles. The wind blew in through the open window as the rest of the dolls’ eyes lit up. Soon, all the dolls had glowing red eyes. The dolls slowly stumbled off the shelf and in a zombie-like fashion, walked toward Lexxi.

Lexxi’s blue eyes shone with fright.

The next morning as the girls woke up, Samantha looked over, but Lexxi was not there!

In the rush to find Lexxi, the girls never noticed the new doll on the shelf. The one with long, raggedy, brown hair and shattered blue eyes.

The End
