Creepypasta- The Sisters 2: Middle Sister

A continue from The Sisters: Eldest And Youngest
This story will be focusing on Paulina, the middle sister.

She have been walking for the past twenty minutes and there’s still no sign of her house yet. Even though she’s sure that she’s running on the right path, but the track seems getting harder and harder to recognize. Her legs grew tired for each step she took. Her body is shivering because of the cold air around her. The forest is not her best friend for now.

But she must keep on going, otherwise she will never make it to her performance. If she had not just forgot to bring her bandana, the poor teen don’t have to run all the way back to her house. The forest might be a shortcut, but also dangerous. Females and childrens are forbidden to enter the forest ever since the recent tragic event.

She passed the spot where her sister’s bloody corpse was found. Her mind can recall all the details of blood spilling around the area, the trees are painted with blood, her body is bloody and her eyelids are teared horizontally. What’s  more scary is that her body parts got cut. Maybe, that’s a karma of all the murders she did to all of those poor children.

“The heck?” She stopped and started to look around, “How did I get here? I gotta get outta here.”

She ran into a different direction. She must get out of here. Why? Because of her feelings of being watched. As if there’s someone have been following her all along. No, she know there IS definitely someone following her from the moment she entered the forest.

“These legs are killing me..” Paulina looked behind her and run faster. She managed to get out from there. Outside the forest, she followed the road to go around and saw her house in thirty meters. Much safer.

There’s a house at the other side of the forest. A little bit inside, actually. That’s her house. It has two floors, and wide backyard. There’s a rose garden all around the house as well, making it look beautiful. Her sisters are the ones taking care of them at her spare times. The walls are made out of bricks and cement, but the pillars are made out of strong-beautifully carved wooden planks.

“Paulina, why are you here?! You’re supposed to be in the theater ten minutes ago!” Her sister, Paula called out from the second floor. Her hands are working on a clothes request, or whatever.

“I FORGOT MY BANDANA!” She shouted back, and quickly went inside.

After rushing inside, passing the living room, she reached for the stairs and ran upstairs. She opened her room’s door and look for her bandana everywhere.  “Found it!” Paulina smiled, as she reached for a white fur bandana inside her closet. “Can I borrow your bike?”

“Yes.” Paula peeked from outside, “I’m sorry, I can’t come.”

“Yea yea. Go work on that wedding dress. Your work is more important than mine.” She ran downstairs, and continue rushing to the garage so she can take the bike.

She wind the pedal like she’s possessed. Finally, the girl managed to reach the theater outside the village on time. The make up artist fixed her messy hair and put on her costume. Paulina is really excited, and slightly scared. If she can’t get the judges’s hearts, she will never can get out from her village.

This is a recital, to select talented dancers to be hired by the promoted agencies from the town. If Paulina can get a good score, she can prove her sister that she’s good enough to go to a more advanced school in the capital. It’s a dream that seventeen years old Paulina have been holding for the past two years.

“Contestant number twenty. Paulina Friggs!” The MC called.

Paulina fixed her fur bandana before going on the stage. ‘This is going to be okay.. You can do it. You can win this bullshit, just stay calm and dance..’

“Paulina Friggs, please get on the stage!” The MC called again.

Hanny petted her back, “You can do it, just image the judges as potatoes.” The best friend may be her rival, but their friendship is too strong to make them hate each other.

“That’s one weird advice.. But, wish me luck!” Paulina got out from the curtains and showed herself to the judges and audiences.

In front of the judges, she felt nervous. The music started to play from the speaker, melting some of her fears. After counting to five, her body started to move, adjusting her steps to the music. She don’t want to make even a slight mistake on the stage. Tons of eyes are gazing at her, judging every move she made.

Then, the music ends, she bowed down. Surprisingly, the she was given an applause. Paulina raised her head and looking at the people who clapped for her. She did it. All those two months of practice was paid nicely.

“I did it..” She whispered, and smiled, “I did it!”

“Yes you did.” A judge said. A man wearing a black sunglasses, with the other two judges are clapping for her.

Paulina grabbed the mic, and gather her energies first before talking. “My name, is Paulina Friggs.. I came from the neighbour village. I’m seventeen years old, and, I hope to find a better ballet school in the capital.”

“That’s one nice dream.”  The man said, writing the score on a plank. “I hope you can reach your dream.”

Then, they all raised the plank. 99, 100 and 95. New high score, she can actually do it. After getting off the stage, she went to the dressing room to find Hanny. The red-haired girl is sitting on a chair, brushing her hair down and removed the make up from her face. She’s the first contestant, so Hanny have a lot of hours to wait until the result is out.

Her blue orbs are switching to see her best friend, standing behind her. “I saw it! You did it!” Hanny squealed and got up to hug her best friend.

Paulina hugged her back, “OMG I DID IT!”

“Wanna go take a grub?” Her best friend took her purse, “The final result is in two hours, we can go take some rest.”

Paulina quickly changed her costume, into white shirt and black short pants. Her hair is tied up into a bun, and she erased her make up from her face. Hanny is ready as well. Using their bikes, they headed to the nearest local seafood restaurant. It’s not really crowdy, so they can talk about lots of things without worrying being bothered or bothering anyone.

“You know, Paulina, how did you do it back there? I was shaking like a rat!” Hanny sat across her, playing with her spoon.

Paulina smirked, “I have been dancing for two years. Whaddaya expect?”

“Why isn’t Big Sister Paula here? This is your big day!” She huffed, and staring at the menu again.

The middle sister put her head on the table, pouting. “She have to finish three wedding dresses in three days.. Auntie Daisy is not home to help her, so yeah..”

“When is your Auntie Daisy will return home? She’s been in New York since forever.”

The friend laughed, “A married woman have their own life, Hanny...”

“I’m so jealous of your sister. She’s like the best tailor in this world, why can’t she have those nobel and rewards? Just like Paulin!”

Hanny suddenly stopped, she covered her mouth after saying the last word. Paulina’s face went white, her expression went horror. Her eyes are twitching a little, her hands are tapping the table faster, faster, and faster. But later, she erased that horror face. The brunette girl looked down, scared.

“Paulina? I’m sorry.. I know I shouldn’t have mentioned her name.. I always forgot! It’s weird to accept Paulin’s death this soon.”

“It’s okay..” Paulina gave her a warm look, “Same.. Don’t give me that sad look. My sister died only two days ago, there is no reason to be scared. After all, I too, still cannot accept her death this time.”

Hanny tried to sound happy again. “When Paulin’s body can return from the hospital?! The autoption is taking forever! Like, her death is already confirmed. When they will return the body?”

“I don’t know.. The polices told us, they will return her body in two days. We’re preparing her funeral from yesterday morning. Her coffin will be ready in two days.”

A waiter approached their table, holding a big tray on her hands. “Excuse me. Your order is ready. The drink will be ready in a minute.” Said the lady, as she’s putting down the plates on the table.

“Yaaay!” Both girls cheered.

Two hours passed, and both Paulina and Hanny are back to the theater. Surprisingly, Paula is already standing next to the dressing room’s door. Her red scarf are stained with with white spots, due to the detergent. Paulina once accidentally mixed the detergent with her new red scarf.

“What the heck are you doing here?” Paulina greeted rudely.

The eldest child of the family stared at her with an annoyed look, “I need to borrow your bike. I have to go outside the village, to the town to buy some materials.”

Paulina shrugged, “I can walk home.. Ooh, surely the runaway criminal won’t hunt a defenseless girl who walk all the way home ALL ALONE!”

Paula sighed, “Hanny.. Can you ride her home? I’m worried.”

Hanny gave her a salute, “Of course, Sis Paula!”

“Good.” Paula quickly walk past them, “And Paulina, you better drop this act! Starting now.”

She glared, “Why? So I can be nicey nice like Paulin?”

“DO NOT, mention her name.” Paula glared at her, before leaving the hallway.

Hanny opened the door, and pulling Paulina inside. The other dancers are looking at them, curious of all the ruckuss outside. But that went off as the clock chimed, signaling it’s Five AM already. They better get ready, because the announcement of the winners will be happening in three minutes.

“We better take the front seat.” Hanny brushed her hair, and put on her shoes in flash.

The other ballerina is also getting ready. “Why? I don’t like front seats. Everyone can see you.” Paulina huffed.

“You did great, you will win, and everyone will be amazed when they saw you holding the certificate.” Hanny took something from her purse, “Wait, don’t wear that bandana. Wear this.”

She pushed Paulina to the chair, and quickly brush her hair until it’s soft, tied up her sides behind, and sticked two plastic roses on her brown hair. Paulina’s bangs are covering her right chocolate eyes, she quickly brushed them off. After done, they ran outside, so they can take the front seats. After some minutes waiting, the male judge came up to the stage, holding a piece of paper, and three certificates. The other two judges are standing between him.

Paulina looked nervous, and felt anxious. “I’m not sure.. I’m afraid.”

“You are the best dancer I have ever known…” Hanny put her head on her shoulder, “You are, my best friend.”

“After some discussing, and judging, we chosen three winners, out of thirty dancers.” He spoke through the microphone. “All of you, came from different villages, for a chance to go to the big city! There, you can go to a more advanced dance school, and reach your dreams!”

Everyone clapped. Paulina felt her heart can drop dead anytime now. Cold sweats ran down from her hair, across her cheek, to her shoulder.

“The one who will be taking the third place is.. Contestant number fifteen, Hanny Alinn. Please get on the stage and get your certificate.”

The red haired girl freaked out. “AAA! OMG!” Hanny jumped from her seat, and hugged Paulina tight, real tight. “I DID IT! I CAN GO TO THE CAPITAL!”

Paulina laughed, and hugged her back, “Get on the stage, sweetie!” She clapped her hands real fast.

Hanny ran to the stage, and hugging the judge, “OH THANK YOU THANK YOU!”

The man smiled, “Here you go, Miss. Hanny. You did great!” He gave her the certificate.

And, the winner announcing continue. The female judge took the first judge’s place, and holding the microphone. “The second winner, of the Third Dream Dance competition, is…”

Paulina is holding her hands together, praying, “Dear God.. Please let me win. Let me go to the capital.. I want to continue this dream..”

“Contestant number thirty, Adelina Dian.” It’s not her, Paulina is scared even more. She can’t lose here!

So, after some photo takings, and a short speech, the last judge announced. “The one, who will be taking the first place, the one who will receive the scholarship to the Sigrein Ballet School is..”

Her heart is beating faster and faster.

“CONTESTANT NUMBER TWENTY! PAULINA FRIGGS!”

Paulina looked up to the stage, everyone is cheering for her, pointing, and excited. She got up from her seat, Hanny is smiling at her, and jumping slightly to show her excitement. She get on the stage to receive the certificate, and a badge.

“Now, Miss. Paulina, do you have anything to tell? To all of us?” The last judge whispered.

She took the microphone, “I have something to say..”

Everyone went silent, respecting her. Paulina is holding the paper, shaking, not trusting her eyes. But, it really happened. She did it. She won. She can get out of this small village, and go to a better place.

“My name is Paulina.. I’m seventeen years old, I was born at 5 December, 1978. I have been dancing since I was six.. Back then, I was still living in the city with my parents before they passed away.” She paused, “I love to dance, and I will keep on dancing, until the end.. Thank you, all of you! I hope, my sister, Paulin, can see me from Heaven and be proud of me.”

Hanny is standing next to her, “I’m sure she is.”

The crowd cheered, only for her. Encouraging her to stay strong and brave, even after the shocking events of her sister’s death. Everyone know about the death, it was shocking. To get murdered by runaway criminals, that’s scary.

“ALRIGHT! TO CELEBRATE OUT VICTORIES, LET’S GO BUY SOME SNACKS!” Hanny is hugging Paulina, tight.

“Okay okay! Gosh, you are killing me, literally!” Paulina smiled, and let go of her best friend.

They didn’t change their hair styles, or anything. They want to show people their beauties, only for tonight. Paulina is sitting at the backseat, while Hanny is moving her bike, fast.

“Do ya know what? IF I EVER MEET MY SISTER’S KILLER, I WILL KICK HIS FACE WITH MY HEELS!”

Of course they went out for a drink, eventually. They may be underage, but here, they are considered adult already.

Hanny is laughing, loud. “YES, YES! I SUPPORT THAT!”

People inside the tiny bar are staring at them, shaking their heads in confusion. It’s a little bit rare to see teenagers drink this late. And, after an hour there, they decided to go back, to their home. Hanny and Paulina’s houses are near, so no wonder if they can get this close.

“Hey.. I think I will go call my sister.” Paulina remembered, “Wonder if she’s home.”

After inserting a coin to the public telephone, Paulina quickly called her house’s phone number. After some delay, someone picked it up. Paula, she’s home.

“Hey, is this Paula?”

‘Paulina?! Oh my God, where have you been?! GO HOME THIS INSTANT!’ Odd, Paula sounded worried, shaking, even.

Paulina raised an eyebrow in confusion, “Err, what the hell happened there?”

‘Is Hanny there? Tell her to take you home, now now now!’

“Calm down! What happened?” Paulina felt angry because she got ignored.

‘I went to the hospital, only to check on Paulin’s autopsy, but, but, when I arrived there.. Hhh.. Haah..’ She started to cry, can’t continue.

Paulina felt scared. “Hey hey! What happened to Paulin?!”

‘HER BODY WAS BURNED DOWN! HE’S BACK, THE KILLER IS BACK TO ELIMINATE HER BODY, SO THE DOGS CAN’T SMELL HIS SCENT! IT WAS HORRIBLE, I’M SCARED! COME HOME, PLEASE, HE WAS SEEN NEAR OUR VILLAGE AGAIN! ’

She disconnected the call, and ran to Hanny, who is sitting on her bike, waiting for her. “What’s wrong with your face? Did Sis Paula yell at you?”

“No! We gotta get home! Shit, what time is this?” She looked for a clock, anything that can tell time.

Hanny looked at her watch. “It’s Nine AM..  We have been out having fun for like, four hours! You’re right! We gotta get home!”

On the way home, Paulina is telling about the incident. Hearing that the killer is nearby, Hanny is fastering her bike in panic. This is way too scary.

“Your house is really near the forest, I don’t wan to to get around that place! Let’s just go and spend the night in my house, I’m sure Sis Paula will be okay.” Hanny is looking around.

“Yea, true. Paula will be fine.” Paulina is hugging herself.

Suddenly, Hanny stopped her bike. “Do you hear that?”

“Hear what?” Paulina felt anxious.

The cold wind crashed against their skin, sending fear and shivers around their body. Hanny was about to go, when the tree behind them moved, making scary voices with the leaves.

“Someone is following us..” Paulina whispered, she looked behind, “Go..”

Hanny is stepping on the pedal, ready to give it a power. “Right.. Three.. two..”

“ONE!” With that, Hanny stepped on the pedal. And blasted on the road, really fast. But, suddenly Hanny stopped the bike, causing both of them to fell down.

Paulina is laying on the ground, her legs are pinches against tires, and her right hand got stuck on the sharp parts. Hanny is laying on the ground, with her foot pinched between the tires. Her head got smacked against the road, while her legs are bruised and bleeding.

It was simple. The tree next to the road was cut, and blocked the way. The tree is big, so, it’s impossible to go around it with the speed. They can get a crash and get more hurt than this.

“Hanny! Hanny!” Paulina got up, quickly.

“It hurt..” Hanny opened her eyes, and Paulina pulled her body off from the bike. “Are you okay?”

Paulina helped her to stand up. “My hand got twisted. But I’m fine.”

Step step step

“He’s nearby.” Paulina looked around with her sharp eyes, “I knew it! He’s not gonna be satishfied just by killing my sister!”

Hanny looked at her legs, and brushed the dirt off, “I can’t fight him, my legs hurt. I need help.”

The wind, once again blew their hairs. It’s the middle of November, of course it’s cold. Winter is near, and they are wearing thin clothes. This is not good, Hanny’s body is not the best around the cold air.

“Can you run? Call for help, I will make time.”

Hanny is doubting her friend’s opinion. “You sure?”

“Yea. Hey, believe me, I can do it. You, go call for help. And tell them to go back here.”

Another footsteps were heard, Hanny look back, and ran away as fast as she can, leaving injured Paulina with the broken bike.

“I know you’re here..” Paulina stepped closer into the forest, “I’m not scared of you.. My little sister can hurt you, I can kill you.”

She’s still walking, and got inside the forest. Her eyes catched a figure in front of her, walking with a scary zombie motion. Her hands are shaking, but she shook her fear off, trying to hold herself together.

‘Paulin.. If you’re here with me, please help me.’

Finally, he showed himself. A man, around fourty, holding a big kitchen knife, with bandages around his head. His other eye is closed, probably because of the injury. His big body is no match for Paulina, but the wounds may decrease his energy.

“So, you must be Harry.. You killed my sister, and burned down her body, yes?” She asked.

Harry laughed, and laughed, “I thought I will be killing the eldest first. You two have similar faces, I can’t tell the difference between you, and Paula.”

“Get out of here, before I kick your butt!” She’s swinging her purse.

“Really? Who kick who’s butt?” Harry charged towards her, and swung his sword at her.

Paulina, of course ran from him. She will try to lure him outside the forest. Her legs may be hurt, but she still can run perfectly. Harry is following her, not getting any tired now.

“COME HERE LITTLE DANCER! I WILL SLICE YOUR THROAT AND TOOK YOUR EYES OUT!” His scary voice startled her.

“No way! I’m not gonna die today, not, today, bitch!” She stopped running when he’s getting closer. Using her hard Italian bag, she smacked his face as hard as she can.

Harry groaned, “You’re just a teenager, you can’t beat me!”

“I hate you.” She continued running.

The sound of a bullet, stopped Paulina from her running. She saw, a tree next to her, was shot deep from behind. When she looked behind, Harry is holding a gun, grinning.

‘He have a gun?!’

Paulina froze as Harry came closer. She’s scared to move, or run. Scared to get shot. The killer is standing behind her, with gun pressed against her neck.

“What a shame.. You’re actually pretty.. Hehehe!” Harry’s knife pressed against her neck.

She realized, she can’t escape this killer. ‘I will die.. I will die.. No doubt, I will die.’ The voices inside her head rang hard, driving her crazy.

“HIYAAA!” Hanny’s voice made Harry distracted, but before they realized her presence, the knife near Paulina’s neck accidentally pressed against her skin, and made a long wound on her skin.

Hanny is holding a log, and smacked the log against Harry’s head. Weird, he’s not using his gun.

“Aaah!” Her neck is bleeding like a waterfall. She quickly cover her wound before it’s bleeding further.

Turns out, Harry only carry one bullet, so, now he’s less dangerous. Hanny continue hitting Harry with her log, her pitched scream rang around the forest. Paulina found some tissues inside her purse, and use it to cleaned up the blood.

“DIE. YOU. HEARTLESS. KILLER!” Hanny keep on hitting Harry with the log.

After making Harry’s body all in pain, Hanny ran towards Paulina and helped her with the wound.

Paulina got up, holding her neck, “Where is everybody? Why are you back here? It’s too dangerous!”

“I called for help, but most villagers are still asleep. I called your sister, she’s going to come here any moment with some help.” She gave Paulina a nice smile, “You gotta hang in there.”

“Oh great~ NOW YOU SISTERS CAN DIE IN ONE NIGHT!” Harry suddenly got up, and stabbed his knife violently on Hanny’s head.

Her eyes shrunk, seeing the blood spilling out on the ground, and Hanny’s bloody and lifeless body fell on the ground. A moment ago, she was alive, breathing, smiling. But now, her head is bleeding, and her face was covered in her own blood.

“HANNY!”

Harry ran towards Paulina, grabbing her hair and pulling it down. “WHY CAN’T YOU SISTERS DIE QUIETLY?!”

“LET GO OF ME!!” She struggled, scared.

“SHUT UP YOU LITTLE BITCH!” He smacked her face against a tree. His other hand took the knife from Hanny’s head, and shove it to her hips. “You’re a dancer, right? A ballerina always depend on their legs, right? Well, how about I take away your dreams away?!”

“NO! DON’T DO IT PLEASE!” She begged, scared.

The knife stabbed her hips, very deep, and Harry’s hand moved the knife down, to her knee, and keep lowering it, until reaching her leg bones. Her painful scream can be heard to even outside the forest. The sound of her leg being violated, and broken, and her bones got sliced straight down.

Harry took out his knife, and pushed her body down, against the ground. Her painful cry keep on going and going, breaking the ears of the animals.

“AAAH!! AAA!!” Her scream is keeping Harry going on with this murder. “PAULAAA! PAULAAA!”

“It will take a hella long time to get here.” Harry keelt down, stepping on the stomatch of the disabled girl. “In the meantime, why don’t we have some fun?

She looked up with her watery eyes, “Just kill me… Now!"

Harry knelt between her stomach, “I think that’s a good idea. Kill, then I’ll fuck your body! Hehehe!”

His knife sliced her neck even further, making the wound across her neck keep on going, until it shaped like a necklace. His knife went down, to her stomach, and stab it.

Her scream gets louder. “IT HURT! PLEASE KILL ME!”

Before he can slice it even further, a burned wooden stick was threw at him. They looked aside, four villagers are holding sticks, fire, and everything that can catch fire.

“KILL HIM!”

“BURN HIS BODY!”

After those screams rang, the other three threw their weapons at Harry. Paulina’s body was dragged out from the fire, so she can’t catch any fire.

“Paulina! I’m glad you are safe!” Paula ran towards her sister, smiling in relief. “Where is Hanny?”

Paulina quickly hugged Paula, crying. Her bleeding wounds quickly got treated by some villagers who just arrived. Many more villagers ran inside the forest, throwing fire at Harry.

“Hanny.. Hanny..” Paulina cried, her hands are shaking. “She died.. Harry stabbed her head..”

“Your leg!” Paula looked down, “We need to get you to the hospital! Come, we already called the ambulance.”

A guy with muscular body carried Paulina outside the forest. “Stay with us, Miss Paul.”

‘Good bye, sis..’

Her eyes were open, searching around. She swore she heard Paulin’s voice just now. Maybe, it’s just her imagination.

‘Good bye, Paulina..’

Now, when he opened her eyes for the second time, she’s outside the forest already. Searching around one more time for Hanny’s voice, her head got hurt again.

“Nngh..” She was put on a bed, and two males put her inside the ambulance. “Wait, let me hear it.. Let me hear their voices!”

Paula is holding her hands, “Dear God, help my sister.” She cried, when the ambulance take off, leaving the village.

“PLEASE! PLEASE LET ME GO BACK THERE! MY SISTER IS ALIVE! MY FRIEND IS STILL THERE!” Her screams are still audible. But, after some seconds, she stopped because of tired.

Her tears went down from her eyeball.

“Please.. Let me go back..”

Her voice is shaking.

“My sister is still there. My friend is still alive..”

.

.

Paula is standing next to the operation room. She’s holding her hands together, mumbling something to calm herself. On the chair, there’s the Village’s Chief and some police officers. They have been waiting for two hours.

The door opened, the doctor came out with a smile on his face, “Can I speak to Paulina Friggs’s family?”

Paula ran towards him, “That would be me. Her sister. How is Paulina?”

“We have to talk.” The doctor frowned, it’s a bad news.

The good news, Paulina made it alive. Her wounds can heal, and she got a fit blood donor. She will be fine, at least for her life. But the bad news, is that her leg can’t survive the operation, and sadly, her other leg can never heal from the deep injury, and in other words, she’s disabled.

She can’t dance, and have to practice walking with only one healthy leg, and the other dragged along. With that, her dreams got shattered into pieces.

Paulina is staring at the window, her eyes are blank, showing a deep sadness inside it. She can’t cry, only silence. Paula finished her knitting. She’s making a red scarf for a costumer.

“Hey, Paula.” She called.

The eldest sister looked at her, “Yes?”

 She shook her head, and put down her book. “Do you still remember the toymaker? You know, the old guy who live at the village next to ours.”

“Yes. I do. The Old Man Greg.” She smiled, “Do you want him to make something? You know she only can make music boxes.”

Paulina smiled in an excitement, “A Music box I want a music box from him!” She giggled.

Paula stopped her knitting, looking at her sister. “It’s only a music box. I can buy you the nicer one from the city. His music boxes are pretty unique, let’s just buy the normal looking one.”

“I want to use my money for this..” Got down, and trying to walk with a strong stick. Paula is following her. “I want him to make a music box, without any ballerina inside it.”

Paula opened the door for her. “Why?”

“So when I die, I know where to put my soul into.”

Paula quickly blocked the exit, “That will never happen! You are not going to die!” She hugged her sister, “Three days in the hospital already ruined your head. I promise I will try to get you out of here tomorrow.”

“Where is Daisy?” She looked up, “She’s not home yet.. Not even after what happened to me.. or Paulin.”

Paula is petting her head. “It because trains didn’t go here anyone. She must use her own car.”

“Well, yes.. True. I will get back to bed. But promise me! Promise me to make me my music box.” She headed back to her bed.

The eldest sister smiled. “Yes, you can keep my promise. But never think of anymore suicide.”

“I promise~” She sat on the bed and drift back to sleep.

Three days passed, Daisy arrived at the village first. Her husband and child will be coming in two days. Paula greeted her at the station, and took her back home. “I’m sorry for leaving you three.. I didn’t know these things can happen in a week!” Daisy cried, and cupped her face, “Tell me everything on the way home!”

Paula hugged her, “Paulina is home. She’s wearing her new dress that I made for her.”

“First, I want to visit Paulin’s grave, can I?” Daisy wiped her tears away.

“Yes. Let’s go visit her grave first. I always come to clean it up and give new flowers.” Paula helped to carry her bags. Both girls went to the graveyard before going home. Daisy put on some flowers on Paulin’s graveyard, before going out and return to their house.

.

Meanwhile in the quiet house, Paulina is holding a thick rope in her hands and tied it up into a hanging rope.  She’s climbing the stairs, trying to not fall down and keep her balance still. Her legs finally reached the end of the stairs and Paulina quickly ran into her bedroom. Her skinny hands are trying to reach the ceiling where she will hang the rope. After that, she took a tall chair and climbed on it.

She’s all skin and bones, her skin is pale and her face looked terrible. It’s a punishment for all her sins, probably. She remembered her victims, those children she killed out of anger. A slight regret crossed her heart. Paulina took a last glance to a portait of her with her sisters.

‘Come on! What are you waiting for?!’

The girl look at the rope again and made up her mind. She can’t live like this.

‘We swore to be together, forever, right?’

She hold the rope, and put her head inside it. Either she will join the childrens she killed, or back to this world again.

‘I promise, even if I’m dead or something, I will always be with you..’

Tears went down from her eyes, but her head is already inside the rope.

‘Do you know about the reincarnation theory?’ I will be with you.. So, just get into that rope and we’ll meet again.’

She kicked the chair away, and the rope held her neck tightly, choking her neck, taking out her life. She can hear the front door opened, and she can hear Daisy’s voice around the house. They’re searching for her.

“I..I…I..” She tried to say something, but the rope quickly end her life.

Anything.. Anything! I can give you anything!

Everything is dark, she can't open her eyes. But something reached for her, holding her hands.

Anything.. Just let be be alive again!
Let me have friends again!
....
Children? You want me to be friends with ten children?
I can do that..
All I have to do.. Is to make them happy until the last day of their life, right?
I will do it!
Just let be BE ALIVE AGAIN!

-Fur Elise Playing-

Her eyes are opened. The music woke her up. Paulina got up from the plastic ground and looking around. She realized that this isn't her room, and everything seems to big. The bed is bigger than her, even the little girl in front of her!

"What?" She realized that she's inside the music box that she owned from the toy maker. "WHY AM I HERE?! GET ME OUTTA HERE!" She banged the glass cage.

Ten children.. She must entertain ten children. Until that, she's trapped inside the music box, and only allowed to get out when someone opened the glass age.

"Mom! Look! The doll can dance!" The little girl with red hair got up from her seat and ran outside to tell her mother. From outside the music box, the crying Paulina only can be seen dancing.
