My China Doll

I used to be a monster. A family would move into this house I have long forgotten why I haunt and I would kill them. Then I met my little china doll.

I protect my china doll, so fragile and weak. I will not let anyone take him away from me. Not that man with the flowers, not his family, and not even a monster like me.

My china doll is scared of me. He runs when I try to talk to him and tries to leave me. I do not understand why he does not see I am trying to change for him?

My china doll tries to call for help but I won't let him. He can never leave me.

"Why do you do this to me?" He asks, his big brown eyes filled with tears.

"I love you, my china doll, so you can never leave me," I answer but it only makes him cry more.

"Leave me alone!" He screams but I cannot such a delicate flower.

"I love you, my china doll, so I will never leave you," I reply and try to comfort him.

I watch him sleep because he resembles an angel resting on a cloud. He makes me laugh when he snores so cute. Then I remember how much I long to be able to touch him. To hold him. To feel his silky black hair and look into his eyes made from the richest chocolate in the world.

"Good morning, my china doll," I smile at him when he awakens but he just screams.

Then one day my china doll left. I tried to stop him but I couldn't.

"Come back, my china doll!" I called but he didn't reply. The last thing I saw was his terrified face as he jumped into a car.

Then people came and burned the house I care nothing of down. Now I can wonder the streets looking for my china doll.

"Where are you, my china doll?" I ask no one but I know he can hear me because we have a special connection that can conquer even death.

"I miss my china doll," I cry in the park on rainy days. No one sees me cry because no one can see me for I am a ghost.

Then one day I found my China doll.

"My china doll!" I smiled and ran after him. I found his new home and started to live there with him.

"Hello my china doll," I looked down on him as he cooked. He is so beautiful when he cooks. He looked at me then screamed.

"I can't let you leave again, my china doll," I tell him. He runs from me but does not get far before he falls.

His friends and family cry for his death but I tell him it is all right because now he can stay with me forever.

My China doll will never leave me because I love him.
