Chapter 2
The Hunting Party of One
Oct. 27, 1986; 1:18 pm
A seven years old bushy haired child ran down from the staircase clutching her porcelain doll with her, annoyed by the incessant ringing of the doorbell. She wondered why her mum didn't open the door yet. Remembering her mum telling her never to open the door without adult supervision, she dubiously eyed the door. The doorbell kept ringing, like the person behind it was so impatient.
"Mum!" She called, but no one answered. Their house was eerily silent, save for the annoying sound of the doorbell.
"Mummy! The door!" She called again. Still no answer. She was sure her Papa didn't arrive from work yet, it was still fairly early in the afternoon. Having enough of the annoying sound, she reluctantly opened the door.
Peeking through the gap she didn't see anybody there and the doorbell still kept ringing. When she opened the door wider, the ringing stopped. Looking from side to side, she didn't see anyone. Even the street was silent and the houses surrounding them were unusually quiet, except for the rustling of leaves and the whooshing sound of the wind.
Stepping out of the threshold she managed to knock something off with her foot. Looking down, she saw a clear jar with a peculiar thing inside. It looks like eyeballs? In a clear gooey liquid. Thinking of the upcoming Halloween, she deduced someone was just pranking them. Curious, she picked it up and held it up at eye level. Her doll lay forgotten on the floor near her. Scrutinizing the eyeballs inside the jar, she noticed that it has golden colored irises. As she realized that, it glowed for a brief second. She never noticed her eyes did the same action, her irises flickered gold and glowed.
"Whoa!" the little girl exclaimed excitedly, totally awestruck she went back inside the house shutting the door behind her. Not noticing someone appeared out of thin air in their front porch just as the door closed. Smirking as he picked up the porcelain doll, he murmured "found her."
