Sophia smiled as she walks into the classroom, it was early and Mr. Barton hadn't arrived yet. She took her seat and started to chat to her friends Leah and Megan.
"What are you doing on Christmas Eve. I heard that they are opening an Ice rink in town. We should go" Leah said.
"Sounds like fun," Megan said. "Are you up for it Sophia?"
"I would come but I'm going back to London to spend Christmas with my family," Sophia said.
"Wow, you're so lucky," Megan said.
"Thank you," Sophia said.
A few minutes later, Mr. Barton walked in and the class stood up to great the teacher.
"Good Morning everyone," Mr. Barton said "You can sit down now"
Mr. Barton placed some textbooks on everyone's desk. The title read "Japanese History"
"Ok, class please turn to page 63 and then we will begin our lesson on "The history of our very own Mount Wildwood" Mr. Barton announced.
Sophia listened as the teacher went on about how people discovered it and the sacred tree. She was shocked that these places were in school history books as Sakura New Town wasn't a well know place. Sophia wondered if there were any more books on Mount Wildwood in the school.
At lunch time, Sophia, Megan, and Leah decided to visit the library. They went over to the history section and found several books on Japan, one of them was titled "Myths and legend's of Japan"
"This book looks interesting," Sophia said. She opened the book and started to flick through it.
"Wait, go back a page, Sophia," Megan said. Sophia turned the page. The page was titled "The legend of the demon doll"
"It says here that the doll was once a toy that belonged to a girl but one night a demon came and possessed it. It also says that it likes to play with children that go to Mount Wildwood alone in the dark." Leah read.
"Are you two up for a fright night?" Leah asked.
"What do you mean by a fright night?" Sophia asked
"We are going to Mount Wildwood to see if anything strange happens. I want to see if this legend is true" Leah said.
"I'm in," Megan said.
"Sophia?" Leah asked.
"Sure," Sophia said. She was nervous and had a bad feeling about this.
The sun had set and the girls were making their way towards the steps of Mount Wildwood. Everything looked different at night-time. They walked past the Shrine and found themselves in near an old house. It was old and nobody lived there.
"Come play with me," a voice said. Sophia looked around but she couldn't find the voice.
"Megan, Leah" Sophia called. There was no answer. Sophia's friends had disappeared. Sophia tried to find them, she looked at the trees and hiding places. At first, Sophia thought that her friends were playing tricks on her, but she remembered the reason they had come here, to find the demon doll.
"Maybe the doll was a Yo-Kai?" Sophia said to herself.
"Need my help so soon," a familiar voice asked. Sophia turned around a saw Esmeralda floating next to her.
"Was you watching me?" Sophia asked, feeling slightly annoyed.
"Well Sophia, I'm always close by," Esmeralda said.
"Do you know of any Yo-Kai that look like demon dolls?" Sophia asked.
"Let me see,"Esmeralda said as she looked at her tablet device. "Yes, there is one called Rontao. He's from the Eerie tribe"
Sophia used her Yo-Kai watch to see if she could find a Yo-Kai that looked like a doll Eventually she found him. The Yo-Kai looked like a rag doll with long brown hair, button eyes, his skin was covered in stitches.
"Is that him?" Sophia asked Esmeralda.
Name: Rontao
Tribe: Eerie
"Yep, that's Rontao. What are we going to do about him? Negotiation or Confrontation it's your choice" Esmeralda said.
"I will try talking to him first. If we want to find out where Megan and Leah are then we have to get him to tell us" Sophia said.
Sophia walked closer to where Rontao was standing.
"Rontao, what did you do with my friends?" Sophia asked. Her voice was raised slightly. She didn't want to cause a scene but she needed to find her friends.
"Oh there right here," Rontao said. Sophia looked and noticed that her friends were not moving.
"What did you do to them?" Sophia asked.
"I turned into dolls," Rontao said.
"Can you turn them back?" Sophia asked.
"But then I will be lonely again. It's the same with all the children I try to make friends with. The get scared by my appearance and run away from me" Rontao said.
"So all you want is a friend. I know. How about a makeover and a new look." Sophia suggested.
"Really, you would help me," Rontao said.
"Yes, of course," Sophia said. Esmeralda nodded in agreement.
"Maybe we can find a Yo-Kai that knows about fashion" Esmeralda suggested.
"Ok. Can you change my friends back now?" Sophia asked.
"Sure," Rontao said. Rontao clapped his hands and suddenly Megan and Lucy came back.
"Sophia, I don't think that we are going to see anything. Let's go home" Megan said.
"Ok," Sophia said.
Rontao came up to Sophia and placed his meddle in her hand.
"Call me when you come up with an idea," Rontao said.
"Ok," Sophia said as she followed Megan and Lucy down the steps of Mount Wildwood.
