The sun was shining and the ocean was rather clam. Reina looked around, the beach. Since school started again, became the place a lot quieter in the morning. After warming up in the sun for bit, did she walk over to the water.
The cold waves hitting her ankles got her to stop for a moment. the she made another step, feeling the water move up her legs. She stopped as the water covered her hips. A deep breath and she let herself fall forward into the water. After a few moments did she shot out of the water again. whiping the water from her eyes.
She noticed the little floating plattform, the teenagers usually used to hang out on, now that it was so abandoned it was time for her, to take a closer look. Something wasnt right. she could feel it, with every moment she got closer. Then she managed to touch the edge of the plattform. Her hand sliped of.
Something dark was on her hand. It didnt look like oil. It mixed with the water on her skin, giving it a bit of colour and structure back. Old blood. not wanting to figure out, if something was in the water, did she jump onto the plattform. But that just made it worse. there were traces of a fight, marks from hands griping everything in a fight of survival. But also claw marks from something, she had never seen before.
A pair of eyes stared at her. Unmoving, with nothing behind them. She picked up the dolls head. a few bite marks on the neck, but else it fine. giving it a better inspection, it could have been the head of one of the teenage girls. She wondered what happened to the rest, as she found a chewed on right arm and a left leg in even worse condition.
the more she looked around, the more questions came to her mind. She stopped as she saw something floating on the water, she dropped the doll parts and jumped into the cold water. For a brief moment, something pulled her under. thankfully she mananged to get back up.
There it was, she grabbed the floating book. Her Body froze, not sure if it should or could drop the book. So she swam back to the plattform. She sat down next to the head and opened it. The book was surprisingly untouched from the water. Her eyes flew over the pages, filled with strange draws and texts. A noise came from the head, as the book opened on the page about living dolls.
Reina kicked the head to the side and started reading. Wondering what it would be like, if that spell was real. For fun, did she speak the Spell out loud, the head made that noise again. In that moment, did she manage to understand it, the head was trying to warn her.
It didnt look like a teenage girl, it was one. A girl, as stupid as her for reading that spell. She dropped the book, but it was to late. Her body already started to become stiff. she left herself, fall backwards, at least giving her the chance to look at the bright sky for a bit longer.
She felt her joints turning. There was no doubt about it. her arms turned into the ones of a doll. It moved up from her legs, giving her a moment of pleasure, before her hips turned to plastic. Her Stomach rose and sank, but it became shallower with each breath. Nowing that there was no way back, did she gave the sky a final brave smile, as her face hardened. Leaving her with only one expression.
A few days later, did a few birds land on her body. Surprised, did took note of the sensation. then she felt it, her new joints werent made for this climate. Another bird landed on her arm and the shoulder joint broke. She could feel the arm, being pushed away. One by one, did she break into her parts.
Once most of herself was lost in the water, did she hear footsteps getting closer. A womans hand, with familiar nails picked the head up....
