Chapter Six: Ending the Nightmare
Third Person POV
Ashlee sat nervously at the foldaway staring at the two dolls. The one that she had watched the man, Sam, fix slowly moved and was now sitting next to the other one who looked happy to see the one move. She stared down at the floor then back at the two dolls which was now looking at her. "I know what I have to do." Ashlee said standing up and wrapping the two dolls in her arms. "I'm sorry for what my mom had done to you." The two dolls were shaking her theirs as if to say that it wasn't her fault. But Ashlee knew that she had to be the one to finish the fight her mom had started.

Ashlee was shaking with fright as she walked up the front porch's steps. The two dolls in her arms were looking at each other as if they were deep in silent conversation but soon looked forward when Ashlee walked inside and silently walked into the living-room. She knew by the silence of the house and the fact a fire burned bright in the fireplace.
"So-" Ashlee quivered as she set the two dolls on a couch and turned around. "Mommy?" Her voice echoed through the house. Her blue eyes filled up with tears as she waited for some sort of indication that her call was heard.
"I'm so glad you came," Ashlee turned to face the woman, she had been with for the week and half. Sofia's eyes were sparkling by the firelight but there was no warmth in them. Ashlee was trembling as Sofia walked over holding two small shapes in each of her hands. Ashlee let out a small cry as she recognize the figures of Sam, the man with the shaggy hair and Bobby the man with the beard that had come to help her. They too had become dolls.
"Mommy," Ashlee cried reaching and taking the two dolls from her, setting them gently on the couch next to the two other ones. "Why did you do that to them?"
"They were going to hurt me." Sofia cooed walking over and gently stoking her daughter's cheek. "I was just protecting myself."
"Don't touch me!" Ashlee cried taking a step back. Sofia's eyes started to show signs of red as she grew angry. But Ashlee wasn't scared anymore. She was angry and sad that her mom could hurt those that were trying to protect her. "They told me that they were going to hurt you. They said that hurting all those people isn't a good thing." Ashlee fear engulfed her again as Sofia took a step towards her.
Ashlee took a step back and her eyes grew wide as Sofia's eyes glowed blood red her hand reaching to grip Ashlee's shoulder but suddenly her eyes were wide with surprise as she fell forward. Ashlee barely scraped by and saw all four dolls two on each leg of her mother. Ashlee could see the purple smoke as it engulfed all five forms struggling on the floor. When the smoke cleared, the four people that once were dolls now were back to being humans while Sofia went back to being a doll. Ashlee silently walked up to the doll that was her mother and stared at her. Tears were streaming down her face before she tossed the doll into the fire.
At first nothing had happened. The four people were slowly getting to their feet and standing behind Ashlee who watched as the doll filled the room with a high pitched scream making everyone cover their ears as the flames devoured the doll. "Goodbye mommy." She said with a quiver in her young voice. She turned and looked at the man, Sam, and asked, "Did I do the right thing?"
Sam slowly nodded his head placing a hand on her shoulder. "You did excellent." Ashlee solemnly turned her attention back at the fireplace as the last thing that went up with flames was a single black button eye.
