Roselina

I have a friend named Sara. She's a pretty fun gal and all, but sometimes she creeps me out, you see ever since she was five she's had this weird obsession with dolls. Well, it's not exactly weird... But every time I visit her house it seems there's even more dolls then before, and they look kind of... Creepy. However, recently Sara bought a new doll and as always, she'd run to my house and show it off. And she looked pretty excited about it, but honestly I don't see what's the big deal about it.

The doll looked very old, the color of it's skin and eyes were faded, and there were a couple scratches on it's cheek and arms. It wore a frilly red and white dress, black dress shoes, and a big red bow. I don't know why but when I saw the doll, it gave me chills. "Where did you get it?" I asked. "I got it at Walmart, it's the last one!" She said smiling brightly. I sighed "Don't you have enough dolls? You have like.. 30 of them." ".. Nope! You can never have enough dolls." "Alright then... But why get that doll? It's really creepy." She glared at me, hugging the doll tightly "It's NOT creepy. Just old, and I think she looks cute!" "... Yeaah, whatever."

She checked the time noticing it's getting kinda late. "Oh! It's already 6:01." She giggled "I guess I should get going, I don't want to be late for the tea party! Bye, Alex." She said as she left. I looked at the doll noticing it was staring at me. I shivered, then closed the door. "Why does she always have to get the creepiest dolls?" I muttered to myself.

A few hours passed by and I was sitting on the couch, watching lacrosse. I was still thinking about that creepy doll, and hoping that watching some sports would get my mind off it, but I guess not.. I started getting drowsy a few moments later, so I turned off the tv and headed upstairs to my room. As soon as I walked in I had an uneasy feeling... Like I was being watched. I looked out the window, and saw a small silhouette on my porch. It was hard to tell what it was due to the darkness, but frankly I was too tired to care, so I closed the shades, and plopped onto my bed. I didn't take long for me to fall asleep.

I awoke hours later in cold sweat from a dream I had.. In the dream there was a tea party, one that Sara usually has. But I was there instead of her, and all the dolls were crowded by the table. I was having a conversation with her newest doll, which turned into an argument shortly after. It grabbed a large spoon, and the other dolls pinned me down. I tried to get free, but before I could it started scooping out my eyes... And as the doll listened to me scream in pain, it said something to me in Spanish.

At around 2:00pm Sara and I met up at 7eleven after my shift ended. "Hi, Alex." She said in an upset tone. "Something wrong?" "... Roselina threw out half of my dolls.." ".... Who?" "Roselina.. The doll I got yesterday." I cocked an eyebrow "Oh really? And how could it do that?" "She's magic!" "Magic?.. I doubt it." "It's true! Yesterday at the party we were talking, dancing, and singing!" "... I'll believe it when I see it." "Alright, then why don't you come to my tea party tonight?" I sighed ".. Might as well, since I have nothing planned to do." "Yaay!" She said, hugging me excitedly "We're gonna have a lot of fun!" "Yeah, yeah.. Say, where is your doll anyways?" "She's in the car." "Of course she is.." "Oh yeah, I got a doll for you!" ".... A doll? You know I hate dolls.." "Oh, come on, I know you'll love it! His name is Jorge, and he's in the back seat!" She said smiling brightly. I sighed, and we both got in the car, and I saw the doll. It wore a black suit, a black top-hat, and a darkish-red tie. I guess it wasn't that bad..

Fifteen minutes passed by and we arrived at her house. We both got out of the car and went inside. "Follow me." She said as she walked downstairs. I followed her into the basement, I've never been down there before. The basement looked like a little girl's bedroom. The walls were light pink with some princess stickers, the rug was dark blue. And in the middle of the room was a large plastic table with about 30 chairs. Only half of her dolls were there. Sara directed me to a seat, and I sat down. "Is this where you have the tea parties?" "Only for the first week I get a new doll" she said as she passed around plates and cups. "I'll be right back, Alex. I'm gonna get changed quickly" She headed upstairs. I sighed 'Great.. I get to spend time alone with the doll' I thought to myself.. A minute or two passed by and Sara still wasn't back yet. I looked at Roselina. "...... Hi" I said to it cautiously. It looked at me and said "Hola~" and giggled. Great.. It speaks Spanish. Looks like Sara was right. Five minutes later, and Sara finally came back. She was wearing the same kind of dress the doll wore, except in different colors. She sat next to Roselina and set down a pitcher of what looked like fruit punch.. It smelled awful, like blood. She poured some in all our cups. ".. What is this?" I asked. She looked at me and said "It's fruit punch" She picked up her cup and took a sip. She looked at little serious, yet.. Sinister.

I stood up. "I'll be right back.." I said as I went upstairs. I need to figure out what's going on, something's off about this. I've known her my whole life, not once did she look sinister, or drink fruit punch for the matter. she said it tasted nasty and made her gag. I walked into her room, and my eyes widened. Her room had blood all over the floors and walls, and some dead bodies were on her bed, and dressed up. "Wh-what the...?" I heard a thump at the door way of her room, I turned and saw Sara holding her new doll. "What are you doing in here?" She asked sternley. "I-I uh, was gonna go to the bathroom but I saw the d-door wide open-" She walked up to me "Don't lie to me!" I backed up, terrified. She smirked "Why do you look so scared? I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. Come, let's finish the tea party, Jorge!" She giggled. "Wh-who's Jorge?" "You, silly." "That's n-not my name." "Do you seriously not remember your own name? We discussed this in the car earlier, did you forget to bring your new doll with you?" ".... Yes." "Oh.. Well, I'll go get him!" She said as she walked out of the room. Their's a reason why I didn't bring it..

I need to leave before something bad happens.

I quickly ran into the kitchen, and tried to open the back door; but it was locked. "Where do you think you're going?" I slowly turned, and saw Sara holding my doll. "Uh... N-no where." "... Okay, good! I wouldn't want you to leave me!" .... I just stood there, trying to think of a way to get out of here without her knowing. She handed me the doll. It looked up at me and said "¡Hola, amigo!" ".. Hola." Surprisingly I felt calm. "Now then, let's get back to the tea party!" She went downstairs, and I followed her. I gave a slight smile 'Maybe this party isn't so bad.' I thought to myself as I sat in my seat. "We'll be having some friends over shortly." Sara said as she took a sip already sitting in her chair.

"Splendid!" I said excitedly. "We're gonna have lots of fun." I chuckled. "Yeah. It's nice to see you're finally in a good mood." She grinned. "Didn't I tell you we were going to have lots of fun?" Before I could reply, I heard knocking coming from upstairs. "Oh, looks like our new friends have just arrived! Let's go meet them!" She said as she stood up and went upstairs, and I followed her. Sara opened the door, and I saw two teens dressed up in a tuxedo. "Hello, Jose and Carlos!" Sara said smiling brightly. "Come, the tea party is gonna start soon!" She walked towards her room. We all followed Sara, and by the time we got into her room Carlos and Jose were frightned by what they saw. They both tryed to make a run for it, but I locked the door. "Don't leave us! We hadn't have any fun yet.~" Said Sara as she grabbed a knife, and I pinned them down. "P-please don't do this!" Pleaded Carlos. "Yeah, man. I have a wife and two kids!" I giggled. "Oh goodie, then we can have more people to join us!" "Yes, that sounds great!" She walked towards us.

Carlos started squirming and screaming for help. Sara killed Jose before he could start screaming. "Gah, you people are loco!!" "We're not loco, just.. Lonely." Sara giggled as she killed Carlos. I stood up. "You can head back to the tea party, I'm gonna prepare them." "Okay." I said as I walked out of the room and headed to the basement. She came back about 10 minutes later, carrying Carlos and Jose.

It looked like their organs and bones were completely removed and were stuffed with something. She sat them down across from me, then sat down in her seat. "Now we can finally begin!" I said excitedly, then I picked up my cup and took a sip from it.
