"Mommy, why can't I go to a regular school? I want friends" Allyson told her mom. Her mom stopped for a moment thinking of what to say. Allyson has never asked that to her mom before. Susan came up with a quick answer.
"Honey, you have enough toys you don't need any friends, you have me and your father to play with" Her mom replied to her calmly.
Allyson wasn't a normal 6 year old. She had psychological brain problems. Because of her conditions no schools would accept her. Susan and her husband Robert decided not to tell Allyson about her problems because she was too young to understand. Susan had to homeschool her so she wouldn't miss out on education. Due to Allyson being homeschooled she never communicated with any kids. She never had friends.
"Mommy I want friends, I want someone to play with me and my dolls" Allyson told her mom.
"Honey sit down we'll discuss this later, now focus on your sentences" Susan replied. Allyson didn't say another word, she just hopped off the white chair and walked to the living room. She took out her dolls from the bright pink colored toy box and started to play.
After that day Allyson asked her mom about school frequently. Susan gave her the same answer. She continued to do as she was told and just played by her self. One day Allyson was casually brushing her dolls hair in her room alone when she heard voices. The voices were incoherent at first so she assumed it was her mom talking to her dad in the other room, she continued brushing her dolls hair. She got bored and just laid back on her bed and looked up at the ceiling. That's when she heard her name. Allyson sat up and looked around but saw no one, then she heard it again.
"Allyson...Allyson..." the voice whispered she didn't respond.
"Allyson you want to play with me?" The voice asked. This time she got excited. She decided to respond.
"Who are you?" Allyson responded innocently. But this time she looked at the wall.
" I'm your friend" the voice said.
"Where are you ?" Allyson asked , her voice filled with curiosity
"I'm right next to you" the voice said "turn around"
Allyson turned around and saw a pretty little girl around her age, she had a smile on her face. Allyson smiled wide, she was filled with joy. She finally had a friend. What Allyson didn't know was that she was a figment of her imagination and that each day that "friend" will get stronger and stronger. Allyson grabbed her dolls and started to play with them, only this time she wasn't alone. Susan always heard Allyson talk in her room but she always assumed it was because she was playing with her toys. She was wrong.
It was 12:30am one night, Susan & Robert were laying in bed calmly sleeping. That's when Susan heard Allyson talking , but she heard her talking alone. Susan got confused but continued to listen. She heard Allyson's footsteps walking , but they were only walking among her own room. She was still talking. Susan decided to wake her husband.
"Robert, honey, wake up" Susan said shaking her husbands arm slightly
" what's wrong dear?" Robert asked in a groggy voice, eyes still shut, body still covered in blankets.
" I can hear Allyson talking to herself" Susan said
"Honey don't worry she's probably sleep talking, she's having a dream, calm down and come back to bed" Robert said grabbing her arm gently trying to bring her back to his side.
"Robert you know how she can get. What if something is wrong? I'm going to go check on her" Susan said shaking Roberts hand off her arm, getting out of bed, and walking out of the room. She walked slowly and quietly just in case Allyson was indeed sleepwalking. She slowly opened Allyson's bedroom door. There she was, Allyson, starting vaguely at the closet door. Not saying a word.
"Allyson, sweetie, is everything okay?" Susan asked her daughter, Allyson seemed so distant, just staring off into space.
"Mommy, I made a new friend" Allyson said with a monotone voice. "She's right next to me" Allyson said extending her arm as to signal to someone next to her. But Susan saw nothing, just empty space next to Allyson.
"Honey there's nothing there" Susan said softly
"What are you talking about mommy? Don't you see her? Her names Olivia." Allyson said still with the same monotone voice. Susan just stayed there wide eyed carefully looking at her daughter not saying a word. She looked as if she was frozen , she felt cold. Olivia. The named sounded familiar to Susan. But it wasn't good.
"Allyson go to sleep." Susan said with a stern voice, she had a bad feeling about 'Olivia', she knew there was an encounter with her before but she couldn't clearly remember when... Or how.
"Okay momma" Allyson responded only this time she said it in her regular perky voice.
Susan walked slowly back to her room. Her mind reminiscing on the name. Olivia. She went back to bed and her husband wrapped his arms around her. She tried to sleep and forget about what just happened but as much and as hard as she tried her mind went back to that scene, and that name.
It was 3:33 and Susan was sound asleep she suddenly felt a restraining feeling on her chest as if she couldn't move a bone in her body, she couldn't breathe , her eyes shot open and she saw Olivia's smile right in front of her... A sinister smile. Susan was gasping for air but she was frightened by watching Olivia just stare at her , blood around her neck, pure black eyes, & that same sinister smile. That's when it hit her, Olivia used to be her imaginary friend, but Olivia tried to make her kill herself when she was young. Susan left Olivia when she was 8. Now Susan had a feeling Olivia was back but this time, to haunt Allyson. Susan got even more frightened and reached out to her husbands arm, shaking it violently but not being able to say a word.
Allyson was next to her sleeping dad, watching her mom suffocate helplessly. Susan felt a rush of panic and paranoia go through her body, she closed her eyes shut and when she opened them again everything was back to normal, she could breathe, Allyson wasn't inside her room, Robert still had his arms wrapped around her. It was Morning Susan woke up confused.
"What just happened?" She whispered to herself. She decided to get that "dream" out of her mind and try to continue with her day. Susan got up and saw her husband still laying down, covers still over his resting body. She got ready to go grocery shopping before Allyson & Robert woke up.
Allyson was in her room, her eyes shut, her body laid still in bed.
"Allyson..." Olivia whispered in her ear. Allyson's eyes fluttered open and there was Olivia, floating above her with a 'sweet' smile or so Allyson thought. Olivia was pure evil. But due to Olivia being her first ever "friend" she didn't pay attention to anything but her.
"Hi Olivia, what are we gonna do today?" She asked, her eyes weren't bright and shiny, there was no life in Allyson's blue eyes anymore, they were as dull as a rock.
"Let's go give your dad his morning coffee" Olivia said with a now devilish smile, eyes turning pure black.
"Okay let's go" Allyson said putting on her slippers and rushing to the kitchen to make her dad some coffee, Olivia followed, she continued to whisper sinister things in Allyson's ear.
Once the coffee was done Allyson put the coffee mug on the table.
"Now what?" Allyson asked standing on her tippy toes.
"Let's put some of this on the coffee, it'll make it 'extra sweet' " Olivia said, she had a little bottle of Cyanide Poison & squirt a tad bit on the coffee. Allyson smiled and Olivia nodded. Allyson walked upstairs and saw that her dad was still sleeping.
"Daddy wake up, I made you coffee" Allyson said with an innocent tone pulling the dark gray covers back and tapped her fathers shoulder.
Robert woke up and sat up in bed. He saw Allyson with extended arms handing him a cup of coffee. He was a little confused because Allyson has never made him coffee.
"Thank you sweet heart" Robert said. What he didn't know was that those were his last words. He started to suffocate and Allyson didn't say anything just sat there watching his dad slowly die. Olivia sitting down next to her telling her to stay still. Robert was now dead, body completely still, no heart beat. Dead. Killed by his own daughter.
"Now let's go give mommy her coffee" Olivia whispered. Allyson obeyed and went downstairs, not looking back. Susan pulled up in the driveway and entered the house. She saw Allyson sitting quietly at the kitchen table.
"Hi mommy" Allyson said looking up to her mom
"Where's you dad?" Susan asked confused
"Oh, he's okay...he's...sleeping" Allyson said, but with a monotone voice. " I made you coffee mommy" Allyson said handing her the mug.
"It's okay Allyson I don't want coffee" Susan said refusing the mug still remembering what happened last night. Susan took out strawberries to dice and put on oatmeal. She turned around to grab a knife but it wasn't there she turned back to go to the utensils drawer but there she was... Olivia. She was floating above Allyson with a knife in her hand. She gasped.
"Allyson come here with mommy" Susan said calmly to not provoke Olivia.
"No mom I'm with My friend" Allyson said with a demonic voice. Susan froze with fear, not being able to move.
"Olivia isn't real Allyson, this needs to stop now!" Susan yelled
"Mom, she is real...and she's coming for you..." Allyson said, demonic voice still present, skin pale, eyes black. Olivia was floating towards Susan , Olivia had a bloody face, in her hands was a knife , she had claws, and a destroyed blue dress. Olivia was now floating in front of Susan, sinister stitched up smile on her face.
Susan couldn't scream she couldn't move, she just saw Allyson sit still on a chair looking dead at her, not saying a word just watching patiently.
"Remember me...Susan?" Olivia whispered. Susan gave her last scream and everything went black. No one heard of the Mordrake family ever again.
