Chapter 51

Mark was pounding on the walls, loudly with the clattering fists. “I’m sure this is how we get out of here. There is a false wall, I just don’t remember which one it is. But one of these four…” He said pointing around the dark room, and his hand nearly smacking his wife in the face.

Kelly couldn’t see him, but she could feel his frantic voice. “I’ve already tried the walls, there is nothing loose, nothing rattled. We can’t be in the dollhouse anyways, what kind of craziness would that be?”

“I had a giant needle sticking out of my eye. It ended up smacking stuff and then finally I got a false wall opened… This is exactly like the dollhouse. The witch put us in the dollhouse, that’s the only explanation. She didn’t want us to finally get rid of her wretched curse. I’m absolutely certain if we press in the right spot, or if someone would tip that little book over then the wall will move. Then we can get out of here.” He said confidently, but mostly with the terror laden confidence, as if he knew he was losing it, but he didn’t know what to do about it.

“But then what? If we are in the dollhouse, how can we save the girls? How can we stop you from killing everyone? I know you are still in the fear stage, but isn’t next slaughter?” Her question was innocent enough, but immediately before she was on top of her in the dark, his hands wrapped tight around her throat.

“I will kill you if I want to kill you. Don’t test me!” He snarled. And then, as if he had been slapped he let go of her. “Tie me up. That way I don’t kill you. Please hurry.”

“How?” She said, frantically looking for something in the room to tie inbound her husband with. What if he was changing right now? He’d go crazy and slaughter her right down here, in the midst of the darkness.

“My belt, are you wearing a belt? Or anything else, anything at all. You better hurry. I’m already thinking about choking you again.” He said, the fear fading from his voice.
