It was a regular Thursday night, my mom and I were at the store and a saw this amazing doll; “Talking Dexter. Talk to me, I talk back”. I talked to it and sure enough it talked back. I went back to my mom to ask her if I could get the doll and she told me, “If you get that doll Alison, you have to clean your room everyday.”
I replied back saying “Okay, thank you!”. We bought the doll and we were back home I took out the doll and started playing with it. When my mom told me to go to bed I put Dexter in the bed next to me and fell asleep. It was morning and I started playing with him again, I went into the kitchen to get food I set my doll on the dining room table and when I went back to get my doll it was on the couch. I thought my mom moved it so I didn’t think much about it.
One day I asked Dexter “Are we friends?”
He muttered back “No!” I was thinking what, he normally says yes what’s wrong? I took out his batteries, a couple seconds later he yelled, “Shouldn’t have done that!”.
Scared and puzzled I asked “Done what?”
He replied back “Take out my batteries, you can’t get rid of me Alison.” I went to go tell my mom, she didn’t believe me and when I went to go show her it didn’t do anything. She told me the doll didn’t do anything because it’s batteries weren’t in, but I told her that’s when he did it. She put the batteries in and it talked back the way he was supposed to. So I took the doll and my mom left to go back to what she was doing. When she was gone, one second later the doll turned its head and told me “You better keep your mouth shut little girl.”
“You’re just a doll, you can’t do anything to me!”, I exclaimed.
He replied back “I can do more than you think.” I was to scared to keep it right next to me in my bed so I put Dexter in the toy box. My mom was going out so I need a babysitter. I went to bed and an hour later the babysitter hears something break, thinking it was me she gets up to go look. No one is there she looks in my room i’m there sleeping. She went back into the living room there, the doll is standing. She screams, it woke me up and when I went out there and found my babysitter lying on the ground, dead. I called 911, a few minutes later they showed up. My mom came home shortly after yelling my name to see if I was fine.
She found me, I was fine and then the police asked me a question “Was anyone else in the house or anyone you think would have done this?”
I had a blank face, looked at my room and said “Dexter”
The officer looked at my mom and said “Dexter?”
“That’s her doll, she swears it’s alive.” she replied to the man. The officer told my mom he would keep the case open and do more investigating. When they all left my mom let me sleep with her and we both went to bed. In the morning my mom went through my toys, grabbed Dexter and went to go and pull out his batteries and the doll moved like it was going to stand in her hand. She dropped the doll scared, called the police and said “The doll is alive sir, it came alive in my hand.” The officer didn’t believe my mom, after my mom told me I didn’t have to keep the doll. I went into my room grabbed the doll, went outside and threw it away. After we ate dinner it was time for bed, I got ready for bed and got into bed.
The door opened, it was Dexter. He looked at me and threatened “I told you, you can not get rid of me!”
