Len's POV

I cannot stop looking into Oliver's eyes. They were so big and bright. The sight of the eyes and the doll itself makes me happy and not alone. But I can't help but feel an unsettling feeling when I look into his big lifeless eyes. A feeling almost as if Oliver was, alive. I felt as if when I look at him, he stares right back at me. I unknowingly walked into our great house. It was a scary house. But great. Just the thought of how many times I have gotten lost in my house sends an uneasy chill up my spine. I run up the large staircase and set foot in my room.

I set Oliver down on my king sized bed. Seeing Oliver lying limp on my bed makes me realize that I will no longer be alone in my room when I sleep. At that I smiled in spite of myself. I remember when I would get a nightmare, or just lay in my bed out of discomfort, due to such open dark space. I always think that someone is there. Watching me. Not in my closet nor under my bed. But standing right in front of me. So dark I would not see them.

"Well Oliver, this is your new home now. I hope my house isn't too scary for you. It has been around for almost 140 years but got cleaned. But I feel there are still ghosts here. I just feel it. But I won't be so scared anymore, now that I have you, I have company!" I said growing a grin on my face staring at the doll. Oliver did not smile back, as expected. But that is okay. "But just because people don't smile, doesn't mean that they are not happy." My grandmummy always used to tell me that when I see a strange kid at school not smiling. I sit on the bed and place Oliver in my lap. I start staring out the window adventuring deep into my mind. It is my favorite place to go. A place where fairies dance, dragons exhale great flames, and a place where Oliver can walk and talk like a normal boy. Like me. Except I am not normal. At least, that is what Rin keeps saying. Calling me a freak, a liar. But she is my sister. I have to love her no matter what the cause is.

I pause my staring and thought that I could continue in the morning. I turn off the lights, get under the soft, heavy sheets, and place Oliver right next to me. His eyes were looking right into mine. I cannot help but keep talking to him. I told him about the house, school, my parents, and lastly, my sister. I told him how she treats me. How she slaps me when I try to hug her, or when I bring up the slightest bit of supernatural stories. But Oliver did nothing but stare blankly. I reach over for my clock and it says 9:00. It is past my bed time. I quick cover my face in a pillow. "Good night Oliver." I said in a muffled voice under the pillow.

I wake up to hear birds outside my bedroom window. I look to my side and see Oliver. Right where I left him. Staring at me. "Good morning Oliver!" I say with a smile. It makes me really happy to know that I have someone (or something) there to keep me company. I get out of bed and run down stairs with Oliver tucked in my arm. Suddenly I hear "Rin? Rin? Where are you I know your hiding. Come and get some breakfast!" She yells. Echoing throughout the great house. "Good morning mum!" I said going down the stairs. "Good morning Len dear, have you seen your sister? I have been looking for her and calling her. But it's no use." She said with a concerned look. "If you yell that we are about to have pancakes, she is bound to come down." I said with a snicker.

"Honey! Come down we are having pancakes!" She yelled as loud as she could. No use. My father comes downstairs looking grumpy. "What is with all of the yelling? I am trying to have some rest it you don't mind." He said with a grumble. He headed off to bed once more. I was starting to worry. But a small heartless voice in my head always says that I would not care, if she were to, disappear. Sometimes I wonder. What would it be like if Rin were to just...disappear? I head off to the kitchen table and place Oliver on my lap. I eat breakfast without a worry in the world.

Hope you like the background music. I thought it would be a nice touch for the mood of the fanfic. Icing on the cake. (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧
