Angela was sitting at the kitchen table, eating pancakes and bored out of her mind. She was still sad about Jenny and couldn't get over it. Sally was sitting at the table beside her. Brenda walked in.

"Why is that horrible thing always sitting at the table?" Angela rolled her eyes. "I already told you. She's my friend."

Brenda rolled her eyes too. "You need to put that thing up. It's hideousness is blinding me."

Angela got up and grabbed Sally. "Whatever. I'm going to the bookstore." She put Sally in her purse.

Brenda said "Good. At least I don't have to stare at either of you."

********

As Angela walked into the library, a cold rush of air hit her face." Sally wiggled out of the purse. "What is this place?" She said with a disgusted tone.

Angela stuffed her back in. "Shhh keep quiet!"

Suddenly, the owner Mrs. Hudson walked in.

"Hello Angela! How nice it is to see you here!"

Angela quickly smiled back. "Hey Mrs. Hudson!"

Mrs. Hudson smiled. "What brings you here?"

Angela sighed. "Oh well I couldn't stand being at home with my mom. You know how she is."

Mrs. Hudson nodded. "Ah yes, I remember her as a student. She was very... interesting."

Angela nodded. "Yeah well I'm going to go look for a new book to buy. Or a few."

Mrs. Hudson said "Oh yeah you go and do that, I'm going to go put up some old stuff in the storage room." She slowly walked towards the backroom.

Angela walked around the store for a while, looking at the weird bracelets and dream catchers. She picked up a red and brown bracelet and decided to buy it.

She sat Sally down into a chair and sat down with her looking at some books.

"Hey Angela I just remembered- Oh my goodness what is that?" Mrs. Hudson shrieked as she walked in.

Angela followed her gaze to Sally. "Mrs Hudson, this is my doll."

Mrs. Hudson shook her head frantically. "Oh no that is not a doll, it is a demon!"

Angela frowned. "Mrs. Hudson you must be mistaken-"

Mrs. Hudson grabbed Angela's arm. "Come let me show you, I have a ton of things to tell you about this doll. It belonged to my old friend Katrina long ago."

She led her into the storage room. She pulled out a box from under a table and handed it to Angela. "Here you must take these and look at them."

Angela took the box warily. "Um I will but I think I'm going to go to the bathroom really fast."

Mrs Hudson nodded. "Okay but hurry back. I need to tell you everything about this little doll of yours."

Angela set the box down and ran to the front of the store. She searched around. "Sally where are you? We need to get out of here-" Angela looked around and Sally was nowhere to be found.

"Sally?"

Angela ran to the storage room. "Mrs. Hudson?"

She looked down to see Mrs. Hudson on the floor dead with blood pouring out of her skull. She had multiple slashes across her stomach, arms, and legs.

Angela screamed as loud as she could. "Mrs Hudson! Don't worry I'll get help!"

She ran out and saw Sally sitting on a table. She frowned. "What's going on?"

Angela snatched Sally and stuffed her in her bag. "Not now Sally we need to get help!"

Angela ran across the street to a bakery and asked the owner for help. He called the police and they were there investigating for hours. A police dropped Angela off home. "You were very smart to call. Im sorry for what you saw and I hope you have a nice day."

He drove off and Angela walked inside. Scott was sitting on the couch with Brenda. "Angela, where have you been? I heard there was a murder downtown at a bookstore!"

Angela started crying. "It was Mrs. Hudson."

Scott hugged her and Angela hugged him back. Brenda rolled her eyes. "Well I'm glad she's gone. She was my old teacher and I hated her."

Scott glared at her. "Why don't you go to your room? We don't need you here right now."

Brenda gasped but then turned and stomped up the stairs with Angela still crying.
