"Oh come on don't be such a baby." Jamie said. The two of them had heard stories about the basement that was supposedly filled with old porcelain dolls. As if that wasn't creepy enough, it was also rumored to be haunted.
When they reached the basement doors Jamie took a deep breath. Laurie was shaking so hard with fear that the light from her flashlight jumbled all around.
"Okay are you ready?" Jamie asked. Laurie gave her friend a look completely full of fear, but just nodded.
If they didn't do this, everyone would make fun of them come Monday morning. That's the deal with bets and dares, especially when peer pressure is added to the mix.
The door to the basement wasn't even locked, which seemed strange to them. Wouldn't they want to keep it locked up so kids just like them wouldn't go messing around? Soon those thoughts quickly dissipated as they walked down the steps. Laurie's heart began to race as a sense of dread filled within her. It was a feeling she couldn't quite place, but it was also mixed with the feeling of someone watching you. Or a thousand someone's watching you.
They scanned their flashlights around the room. All sizes and assortment of dolls stared back at them with cold unblinking eyes. The two girls grabbed each other's hands.
"We should go." Laurie said, not wanting to venture any farther into the basement.
"No we can't go yet, we have to take one of the dolls as proof." Jamie said, swallowing the lump of fear in her throat.
"Fine then just take that one!" Laurie whispered, pointing to a small doll in the corner who wasn't as creepy.
"No we need to find the one doll that Tyler told us about. You know the one with one eye?" Jamie said.
The girls began moving slowly through the basement, their flashlights continually moving as they kept their eyes on the dolls. "He was probably just making that up." Laurie said.
Some dolls looked newer than others, but most of them were quite old. One doll was so old the paint from her face had faded away leaving only a white blank face. Almost all of the dolls had cobwebs in their hair, and every single one of them seemed to be covered in dust. Except one of them, a doll far away in the corner near the basement window. It wasn't covered in any dust, as if it had been moved several times. It was a fairly large doll, and the face was horrifying. It had a smile that seemed almost too happy, with wide green eyes. Laurie couldn't take her eyes off it. Out of all the dolls in the room this one was the scariest. Her heart beat faster and faster the longer she stared at the doll, and her uneasy feeling only intensified.
"Jamie, I want to go. NOW!" She said. Jamie turned to see what was wrong and almost gasped seeing the doll by the window. "Oh my god that one is...so creepy. It's perfect, we should take that one."
"NO! We are not taking that one, we are not taking any one! I'm getting the hell out of here." Laurie said turning around and heading back for the door. "Wait, hold on." Jamie said following her friend. Laurie was almost running now, trying to get away from the creepy feeling that sent goosebumps up and down her arms. Jamie followed close behind her. "Laurie just hold on!" Jamie said. But Laurie didn't stop until she was outside, breathing in the crisp night air.

"I had to get out of there..I just..I just couldn't take it anymore. And that doll, god that doll was so fucking creepy." Laurie could just see the face of that doll, like it was burned into her brain forever. "Well what are we gonna tell everyone? We don't have any proof." Jamie said. Laurie started to walk to the car.
"I don't care!" She said.
"Well I'm going back, I need to get at least one doll." She said. Laurie whipped around. "What?! You can't go back in there!" She said grabbing her friend's shoulder.
"It'll only take a second, I'll be fine. It's not like it's really haunted. Laurie please tell me you don't really believe in that crap?" She asked. Laurie didn't really think she did until she was down in that basement, and the feeling of panic that came over her when she saw the doll by the window.
"Just hurry, please...just hurry. And do not grab that fucking doll by the window." She said. Jamie looked at her friend with knitted eyebrows. "That's the second time you've cussed tonight, you never cuss."
Laurie sighed. "Yeah well, that's what happens when your best friend drags you down into a creepy haunted basement full of porcelain dolls! Now go! I don't want to be here any longer than I need to." She said. Jamie just laughed before running back towards the building.
Laurie watched as her Jamie disappeared and walked closer to the building, hoping her friend wouldn't take long. She stood there watching the building when a glimpse of light caught her eye. She turned to right to look, and there she saw the basement window. Glancing in she saw the figure of the creepy doll. She shined her flashlight in, hoping to see Jamie. But then suddenly the head of the doll turned completely around to face her. The wide green eyes now moving to meet Laurie's, and her smile widening even further. The last thing she heard was her Jamie's blood curdling scream.
