Lily dragged her mother into a doll shop. She smiled at all the dolls, and took off to find one she liked. She stopped at a doll. it's black silk hair was in a low bun. It wore a white kimono lined with lavender. But what caught her eye, were the doll's nails. They were red, Lily's favorite color.'Mommy! I want that doll!''Maybe for your birthday, Lily.' Lily nodded.

Her birthday came, but something was wrong. 'I wanted the doll with RED nailes, Mommy! Not the WHITE ones!''Honey, they were sold out!, But daddy and I'll go to the store, and get some red paint, alright?'Lily agreed, and went to bed, taking her doll with her. That night Lily heard a soft scraping noise. Trembling, she pulled the blanket over her head, and forced herself to sleep.

The next morning, she woke up and searched for her parents. They weren't in the kitchen. She looked in their room, and dropped her doll. Her parents were dead.Lily grabbed her doll, and ran to the police. She was all but in tears as she told them what happened. They told her to stay with a reletive. She did so. Her aunt and uncle allowed her to stay, but she had to sleep on the couch. Lily agreed and fell asleep.

That night, Lily woke up to the scraping noise again. She pulled the blanket over her head, and prayed it would go away. She woke up the next morining, and saw her aunt and uncle dead. Lily grabbed her doll, and ran back to the police. They told her to hide, and tell no one where she was going. Lily did as she was told. She ran to an old, abandoned motel.

She placed her doll on the bottom step, adn flew up the stairs, two at a time. She reached the top floor, went to the last door, and slammed it shut behind her. Inside was a moldy matress, and a quilt. She curled up in the matress, and fell asleep. She woke up that night, to the infamous scraping. She pulled the quilt over her head, and prayed it would go away. The door creacked open. Lily held her breath.

Soon she felt a sharp pain in her chest. Lily gasped in pain. She felt ligt-headed. The last thing she heard was a soft voice whispering in her ear'you wanted a doll wth red nails, right?' The police searched the motel, but found no weapon. Or footprints, other than Lily's and the doll she was dragging up behind her. All that was found was Lily's dead body, adn her doll. It's kimono blood-stained. It was standing in a corner, leaning to a side. It had a smirk painted on it's face, and long red nails. Bloody footprints lead twards it, and stopped where it stood, looking at it's dead owner's body...

The End
