Question

I added a forth chapter to my story "the doll"

Answer 1

The Doll
These events took place in 1965.

As my brother and I were running in the woods I tripped, landing face-first onto the ground.
“Rayla? Are you okay?” My brother had asked
“Yeah.. I just tripped over something…”
I looked around trying to find what I tripped over but all I could see were tree branches and roots. I thought nothing of it and got up, but as soon as my brother helped me up I saw what looked like a doll.
“Percy, look at this,” I said holding up the doll
“Where do you think it’s from?” Percy asked
I shrugged my shoulders and walked home with the doll.
Later that evening my mother asked me where we had found it.
“We found it in the woods. We were playing and Rayla tripped over it.” Percy said
“Yeah, but I can’t seem to remember how though. It wasn’t in front of me, I would have seen it, I mean it just grew dark.” I said, stabbing my roast.
“Don’t get your head up in a twist Ray, It could have been there and you could’ve missed it while you were runnin’.” Mother said. “Now eat your roast.”
Throughout the night, I was thinking about the doll. Percy told me to just give it to one of the children in the village but I couldn’t do that until I found out who it belonged to.
In the morning I woke up and found the doll at the foot of my bed. I screamed when I saw it. My mom came running.
“What’s wrong Ray?! Is someone here?!” She said looking around. I pointed at the doll, my hand was shaking so much.
“It’s going to be okay hun don’t worry.” My mom said, walking to me and giving me a hug. Percy came running after my mom and repeated that he didn’t put the doll there.
“I know Percy, I’m not blaming you,” I said
My mom and Percy left the room so I could get dressed and help with the chores.
“Rayla, Percy I’m home!” my father called out
Mother told him I was in the barn taking care of the livestock. And Percy was delivering eggs to the neighbors. Father walked into the barn seeing me being surrounded by the animals.
“Hey, Ray,” Father said
I got up and hugged him. It has been 4 weeks since I saw him.
“Father! How was your trip?” I asked while I was locking up the animals into their pins.
“It was very eventful. I got you a new pair of flats to wear to church tomorrow.” He replied.
“Oh, father, that's wonderful!” I exclaimed.
“Now, I need your brother.” He said
“He is probably at Mr. and Mrs. John's house. They make cookies when they get the eggs from him. He stays so he gets them freshly baked.” I said
“I see,” Father said
“I’ll go get him, plus I want some cookies too,” I said smiling
“Well alright. Make sure you bring me some cookies too.” Father said laughing
I ran off to get Percy, but when I did I saw him standing there talking to Mrs. John
“Percy! What are you doing?” I yelled
Percy gave me a signal to come over there.
“Mornin' Mrs. John!” I said with a smile on my face
“Good morning Miss Rayla. What brings you here on this fine morning?” She said
“My father just got home from his trip and he wanted to give Percy a present. But he’s out here doin’ his egg route.” I said
“Oh well, Percy, I'll save you some cookies so you can go see your father.” Mrs. John said with a smile
“Thank you, Mrs. John! Oh, and can my sister have some?”
“Yes of course! How about you guys come over after lunch and bake some cookies with me and Mr. John?” She said taking the eggs from Percy
“We’ll ask our mother if we can. Well, we have to get goin’ see ya later Mrs. John!” I said, grabbing Percy’s arm and running off to the house.
“Way to rush us,” Percy said with a frown
“Percy it’s been a month since we have seen Father! Don’t you want to see him?” I said staring at him
“Well yeah,” he said
“Good now let’s go! Father has something for you!” I exclaimed and ran to the house with Percy
“Pa!” Percy said hugging our father
“Hey, Percy. I got you something!” He said, handing him a box.
Percy hesitated when he grabbed the box.
“Well, what is it?” I said
Percy held up a ball and his face looked blank.
“Wow. thank ya pa.” He said with no emotion.
“How about we toss it outside?” Father asked
“He’s not finished with his chores Nigel.” mother said “Percy, and Ray go finish your chores.”
“Before we go and finish, can me and Percy go to Mrs. John’s house to bake cookies after lunch?” I asked
“We’ll see now go feed the animals.” mother said pointing to the barn
“Yes ma’am,” I said before I walked back to the barn
A few hours had passed and the doll was off my mind until my father sat it at the table. When I saw it I completely lost it. Father said he found it inside Percy and I’s room and thought it was cute because it looked like me.
“Father just get rid of it!” I said
“Rayla, I understand that you might not like it but you shouldn’t yell at your father.” Mother said
“Mother I-”
“Not another word. Sit down and eat. Then you can go bake cookies with Mrs. John. Now eat.” She said not even looking at me. I wanted to argue but my brother pulled me down to sit.
Later after lunch was over all I wanted was to get away from that doll.
“Come on Ray! Oh, and take the doll with us because we might be able to see who it belongs to.” Percy said, holding open his bag.
“Percy! No! I hate that thing I’m not going to have it near me again.” I said crossing my arms
“Rayla. We need to get it to its owner so you don’t have to be around it.” Percy said grabbing it and putting it in his bag. I rolled my eyes and took off running to Mrs. John’s house.
“Well good afternoon Miss Rayla.” Mrs. John said with a smile
“Hello, Mrs. John! Percy is on his way. He and I were runnin’ here.” I said taking a few big breaths.
“Rayla you cheater!” Percy said falling over trying to take breaths
“Percy you need exercise,” I said smiling
“Yeah, yeah I know,” Percy said getting up
“Well, you two are we gonna bake some cookies or not,” Mrs. John said with a big smile
“Yes ma’am!” I and Percy said with a grin
We walked in and greeted Mr. John as he was watching the television.
He waved and said “Good afternoon kids,”
I looked at the television and said, “What’s goin on in the news?”
He didn’t look at me at all and said “Just the president.”
“Oh..” I said looking down
“Let’s make cookies!” Percy said
“Calm down Percy. We gotta wait for Mrs. John.” I said
Percy frowned and sat on the couch waiting patiently for Mrs. John.
“Alrighty, kids let’s get the ingredients.” Mrs. John said taking out the milk and stuff.
After the cookie baking, we sat down and ate. We took some to mother and father. We still didn’t find out who the doll belonged to.


Chapter 2
Don’t make her angry…
A few weeks had passed and I forgot about the doll. Percy hung out with his friends more, and I was alone.
“Ray you up?” Percy asked
“Can’t say if I am or ain’t,” I said
“Ha-ha-ha. Funny.” Percy said getting out of bed
“Percy, go to bed! We need to be up very early in the morning.” I said
Percy still walked out of our bedroom door. I sighed and tried to fall asleep but then I heard a scream. I threw myself out of bed and ran out. So did my mother. My father came running a few moments later. Percy was nowhere to be seen.
“Percy!?” Mother screamed.
I stared at her with a terrified look. Father told me to phone the neighbors.
“No one has seen Percy..” I said
Father started to pace back and forth.
“Honey, calm down. We’ll find him.”
A few weeks passed and Percy was still missing, I did all of his chores, taking the eggs to the neighbors, washing the dishes, and cleaning our room. Then after that, I had to do my chores, feeding the animals, washing the animals, cleaning the barn, and mowing the lawn.
It was kinda fun seeing all of the neighbors, and seeing Percy’s friends.
“Hey, has Percy come home yet?” Percy’s friend Jackson asked
“U-um no… He’s still missing…” I said handing him an egg carton.
“That’s too bad.” He said taking the carton
I nodded and was about to walk away but then he asked me if I wanted to hang out with him and Percy’s other friends.
“Sure! But, let me finish the chores.” I said smiling
“Okay, what time do you think you’ll be done?” He asked
“Twelve,” I said walking away to the next house.
I hung out with Percy’s friends until dinner, then I went home.
After dinner, I went to my room and saw the doll sitting on my chair in front of my vanity.
I hesitated, but then I grabbed it and threw it out the window. Then turned around and saw it on my bed.
I grabbed it and yelled “What do you want!” tears streamed down my face.
“I miss my twin brother, this doll scares me, I had no friends,” I said dropping the doll and crying.
I heard Percy’s voice for the first time in 2 weeks, I got so excited, I wiped my tears off my face and turned around hoping to see Percy, but it was the doll.
“Why can’t you just leave me alone!” I screamed.
“But you miss your brother…” The doll said creepily.
Chapter 3
The doll talks?!
I stared at the doll, I felt like I was going insane.
“W-what?” I said
“I know where your brother is.” The doll said
I started to freak out more. My hands were shaking a lot, I got up, took the doll, and sat it on my vanity.
“Alright ‘doll’ why are you tormenting me, why did you take my brother, and where is Percy?” I said trying to push this doll thing to the back of my head
The doll said nothing. I got up, grabbed the doll and shoved it in my and Percy’s old toy box and went to bed.
The next morning I heard Percy’s voice, I ran out of my room and saw him hugging mother while she cried. My eyes widened with excitement.
“Percy!” I screamed
“Rayla. We need to talk,” he said with the most serious voice I ever heard.
“Uh okay..” I said
Mother let him go and he walked into our room and shut the door. He hugged me tightly.
“Percy, where'd you go?! The-”
“I don’t know where that doll took me...” He said
“Well, the doll can talk! She said she knew where you were.” I said
We talked about the doll, and how I hung out with his friends while he was gone, he wasn’t too happy about it but he was happy they asked about him. After everything that was happening, I was so glad to have my brother back.
The next morning we both did our chores together. I helped him with the dishes and the egg delivery.
“Uhm, this house?” I asked
“Yeah, I deliver here all the time,” he said
“I-I didn’t,” I said
“Oh well, we have extra eggs, I'll just give them the extra,” he said ringing the doorbell.
I shook my head. An elderly woman opened the door, I realized she looked like the doll.
“Good morning ma’am!” Percy said with a smile
“Morning Percy.” She said
I squinted trying to figure out why she looked like the doll.
“Oh who is this?” she asked staring at me
“Rayla Moon Nice to meet ya,” I said holding out my hand
“Well nice to meet you too Rayla,” she said shaking my hand
I smiled and whispered to Percy “We should get home,” he nodded and we walked home
“Did you notice that woman looked like the doll?!” I said
“Yeah but I’m still trying to figure out why..” he said
“Maybe the doll belongs to her?” I asked
“It could be hers.. Maybe we should take it to her?” He said
I nodded and ran home with him.

Chapter 4
The doll’s owner?
Me and Percy told our parents we wanted to do the egg delivery together, our parents agreed but said we had to split the money we got from it.
“Bye!” I said walking out the door with percy.
Percy had the doll in his bag and was ready to ask some questions. Once we got to the woman's house, I knocked on the door, and Percy grabbed his notepad and pencil.
“Well good morning kids.” she said
“Morning ma’am.” i said
