I can't move! I can't move at all! I scream inside my head,

'It's because I have you' The voice of a girl speaks inside my head while I kept staring at the glowing eyes within the bushes, could that voice be hers? I ask, 'Aren't you clever?' The voice answers in reply of sarcasm and giggling at me. Just then the eyes shift away from me and divert them to follow something behind the bushes probably, I then start feeling my body again; being capable of moving it again; I smile in success and turn to Chris to see if we was okay, thankfully he was. Chris had only started moving again, probably due to the girl looking at him as well as me, he then asks-

"Are you okay Jack?" walking over to me and grabbing my shoulders tightly while his eyes searched for any signs of injuries, I place my hand on his shoulder and give him a smile in reassurance.

"I'm fine Chris but did you see the pair of eyes in the bushes before?" I ask

"Yes... I felt impossible to move though, was that the same for you as well?"

"Yeah... Did you also hear a girl's voice in your head too?" I questioned.

"No, I didn't experience that" that's where I was confused, how could I hear the girl and Chris couldn't?... Strangely I was expecting a reply from the same voice but nothing did. Instead I felt a tug on my pants, I look down and see a small, stuffed, bear looking back up at me, smiling.

"WHAT THE HELL?" I yell and flew backwards like a deformed cat, Chris looked at me in confusion and darted to where I gazed then shifted backwards as well,

"What the hell is that thing?" he asked, just then the bear answered our question,

"Well thats rude to talk to a bear like that" a motherly voice spoke up, the little figure put 'her' hands or paws onto her fuzzy hips and started to pat her foot down; looking very disgusted.

"Well?" The bear spoke again, me and Chris didn't dare to move an inch just incase it was going to attack... Kinda.

"What do you mean 'well'?" I ask feeling stupid talking to a stuffed bear,

"Where's my apology?" she demanded turning her gaze back and forth to me and Chris,

"Why should we apologize?" Chris spoke up; taking a few steps back,

"Because you gave me a rude introduction" she answered folding her arms. Me and Chris pass each other a gaze in need of help if she were being serious or this was a prank from the girl's.

"We-we are...sorry" I slowly say nervously,

"See that wasn't hard was it?" she rhetorically asks and takes a few steps aways for distance, "And I'm sorry too for startling you but I don't have the greatest features a little girl could think of" she points out.

"Oh but where are my manners" the bear laughs, although it was more creepy that her mouth was stitched up and we could still hear her words, "My name is Margaret, Lilly's best friend and 'master's' creation" Margaret smiled at us. "What are your names then?" Margaret asked.

"Well I-I'm Jack and this is my best friend Chris" I answered, I still felt uneasy talking to to a bear but she seemed completely fine.

"Well it's nice to meet you finally" that reply had me on edge.

"Were you expecting us?" Chris asked Margaret.

"Well... Master has been waiting for a while because of this young man" the dwarf bear pointed to me with her stubby paw.

"Me?" I asked to be sured of, Margaret nodded a yes to me while Chris stared wildly at her, then at me. Why am I wanted by her 'master'? Could it be her master is the demon?!

"Yes, my master is the one from your dream" the bear chirped up. "But the one that spoke to you now was Lilly not my master; she's just trying to scare you". That helped a little to calm me down until-

"Lilly has gone to get the girl's" Margaret blatantly said and pointed to a small figure running to where we had came from.

"Crap! The girls!" Chris yelled and started to chase after the figure, I stand for a second and looked at the bear that had grabbed my pants, I guess I was taking her with me. I bolted after Chris like a race to get to the campsite first, jumping over obstacles and ducking under branches while having a alive stuffed bear on your leg, climbing up your back! A bit different from a race I've seen.

"What are you doing?!" I yell

"Getting on your head, stop squirming" Margaret replied " I'd hurry up now!" She ordered at me, I did as she says and paced up my speed; I could see Chris within the distance. He had stopped moving. I saw the girl's stood up further on but they wasn't moving either, then that's when I saw the little figure staring at them. She's doing the same thing she did with me earlier. I got up to Chris's position and looked at the girl... But... I wasn't hold against my will of moving.

"Margaret! Get off him!" The young girl demanded, "I can't keep him still when you're on him!" Her temper grew but the bear didn't seem impressed.

"No" the simple reply had the young girl, named Lilly, stunned with widened eyes.

"I'm not moving Lilly because it's pathetic of keeping him still, don't you think?" Margaret had turned a little sour and pushed her hurtful words into Lilly's feelings as the child had started to cry. She's making her cry so she stops staring at my friends! Clever, I said to myself and looked at the patchy bear sitting on my shoulder with arms crossed... Just like a mother.

"The freaking bear talks !?" Lucy screams and falls onto the grass she was held in; her face was pale and her eyes shrunk tiny in astonishment. Rose on the other hand had been quite calm and looked at Lilly covering her water flowing eyes; she walked over and knelt down next to the little girl in a familiar white, yet stained, dress; Rose placed her hand on the bony shoulder and started to soothe the little girl by talking to her quietly, I couldn't hear what she was saying though. Lucy just stayed where she was and stared in disbelief of what Rose was doing, that's when she spoke up.

"Rose, what are you doing?" She raised her voice so Rose would hear her,

"What are you in about?" Rose asked back, her voice seemed concerned and annoyed.

"Get away from that thing she's-" Lucy had been cut off, however not by Rose this time.

"HOW DARE YOU CALL MY DAUGHTER A "THING" SHE IS A HUMAN BEING!" Margaret had snapped and jumped of my shoulder, what I saw next was something I would never forget. The little bear with the button eyes and stitched mouth, had grown some claws from her innocent stubby paws and began to grow taller! From starting at the size of 30cm she shot up to be lean and tall at 4ft! Her mouth ripped open to show multiple blades placed at different angles and at different lengths... Her voice even sounds menacing;

" Let me remind you child that Lilly isn't just a flower's name" she snarled lowly and lowered her head to become closer to Lucy's face that had turned white. Margaret had raised her outstretched arm with blades above her head and spreaded her claws out widely and pointed. She is going to kill Lucy!
