Chapter Eight: Another Night Passed

Maru opened the door to the pantry, as some called it, and she screamed. There smiling at her was another dummy, and she knew she didn't have a lot of time left. Maru heard the door lock behind her, and she adjusted to the dim light of the room. She looked around and found a newspaper article. The headline read, "Suzuki and Tanaka Family Is Nuts," Maru read on, "The so called quiet town was in an uproar when townsfolk found out about the Unknown Ritual that has been going on in the Suzuki Mansion. One man told reporters that he's heard crying sometimes coming from there, and another man said that he couldn't believe what they were doing up there in that mansion."

Maru dropped the paper in shock; the chiming of the clock scared her. She reached for the paper and put it in her bag, and just like before the dummy started to move again. "Please help me grandma," Maru cried out, "Find me so we can leave".

The chiming was ending when the dummy reached for Maru; she didn't even try to fight. Maru knew that this was supposed to happen. The dummy grabbed Maru, the chiming stopped, and the visions appeared. This time it showed what looked like Namie's dad, and how he blindfolded the young Namie.

Then visions of Maru's own family came, it showed her grandma and grandpa holding a young girl, the young girl looked like Namie. The young Namie turned her head towards Maru, and Maru screamed. Namie's eyes were pure black, blood streamed down the eye sockets, and little holes appeared on Namie's arms and legs. Maru screamed and screamed, and then she woke up.
