Alma by 4JP

Ellie

It was a misty, cold morning when Alma was skipping through the empty, windswept streets.  She went past a shop.  A doll shop.  The doll in the window looked at Alma with bright, blue eyes like her own and a subtle smile.  All of a sudden, her eyes widened. Her mouth dropped. She gasped. The doll looked just like her.

She look around then back again.  It moved.  There clearly wasn't anyone in the shop. It must have moved alone.  Alma instantly decided to investigate.  She tried the door.  It was locked.  Grumpily, she walked away.  CREEEEAK!  The door opened.  Amazed, she turned back and ran in.  Alma stared at the doll with keen eyes.  A little boy doll creaked on the floor.  Carefully, Alma knelt down and picked it up.  It wheeled itself into the door with a loud SMACK! Alma didn't care. She eyed the doll...it eyed her back.

Slowly, I reached up to get the doll...

Suddenly, the mysterious doll jumped out of its place.  It smashed the window and jumped through it.  I was so shocked that I just fainted...

It was 10 o'clock at night when I woke up with a scream.  I looked around, the shop was empty.  I tried to get up but I was frozen with fear.  As soon as I got up, I ran out the door.  When I got out, a terrible sight met my eyes...

Houses on fire, screaming people and a lot more.  After I calmed down a bit, I asked a man what was going on.  All the man said was, "the curse, the curse!"
"What curse?" I asked.
"The curse of the dolls," he said.

Before I could ask any more questions, he started running off again.  I turned around to see what all the people were running from and I saw the dolls that were in the shop.  But they were different.  They had green eyes and green slime coming out of their mouths.  Then I saw a little girl about my age running, but she didn't make it because a doll jumped up on her and bit her.  Suddenly, she turned into another doll!

A few days later, everyone in the world except me was turned into a doll.  I had no choice but to stay in the shop hoping they wouldn't find me, but I was wrong.  The doll that looked like me found me and bit me...

I felt cold. I was the last person in the whole world to be bitten. Was this the end?
