Claudia began to grow sleepy as she sat with Jane, who was now reading The Princess and the Pea. Her soft voice and the warmth of the fire was slowly lulling the exhausted child asleep. BEN had turned down the volume on the television set, and even Laughing Jack didn't make a sound much louder than a snicker in order to prevent disturbing the girl.
It was true, something very strange was going on with this child, and how she affected these - once feared - people around her. It was something that none of them seemed to be able to explain, something almost magical. One by one the Creepypastas grew rather fond of Claudia, opening their hearts to her sweet and caring nature, becoming almost compelled to protect her and love her as their own.
Claudia sighed softly as her eyelids grew heavily. It was so peaceful. Just a little longer. . . she thought, trying to keep awake to hear the end of the story, but it was a loosing battle. Slowly, her eyes began to close.
Suddenly the front door flew open and the sound of a little girl giggling snapped Claudia's eyes open. She sat up, a little disorientated. BEN tried to shush her, mere seconds too late. Claudia looked at the girl, a few years older than herself. She wore a pink dress and carried a teddy bear. Her long brown hair was curly, and she had bright green eyes. She would have been very pretty if it wasn't for the fact that she was covered in blood and dirt.

"What?" the girl asked, slightly confused.

Claudia slid from Jane's lap and walked over to the brown-haired girl, yawning and rubbing her eyes sleepily. "Hello," Claudia said with a smile.

The girl smiled back. "Oh, hello, I'm Sally," she said. "Who are you?"

"I'm Claudia," she said.

Sally smiled. "It's nice to meet you," she said happily. "I'm glad there's someone like me here now - it gets boring having no one to play with. But now that you're here, we can play together!"

Claudia liked that idea.

"Oh, I'm so happy to have a sister!" Sally said, hugging Claudia.

Claudia beamed as she hugged back. She'd never had a sister before, and even being called one was an amazing feeling.
