They went to their room . They put their pajamas on . “ Blair , the mirror , it ’ s broken . It has handprints on it .” “ I think I broke it while carrying it here .” They went to bed . Blair was a little scared after the mental hospital . The next morning , the girls were on their way to school . “ Bella we are going to be late because of you !” Blair laughed . “ No way ! If we are late , it ’ s because of your addiction to food . Bella laughed harder . They kept walking . “ Blair , did you know that there is this boy named Eric . He is so cute .” She turned to Blair . She was staring at something . She was clearly terrified . “ Oh my god .” Blair started running . Bella found her in the girl ’ s restroom . “ What was that ?” “ Someone hanging .” She started crying . “ We need to do something .” Bella rushed to the principal ’ s office and asked for permission to leave . They went home . Lily opened the door . She was confused when she saw her daughters . She checked the time . “ Did your school finish early ?” “ No , we need to talk to you and my dad about something .” “ Chuck ! The girls are here . They need to talk to you about something .” They sat in the living room . “ Blair told me she saw someone hanging while walking to school .” Chuck hugged Blair . “ Baby it was probably because of the horror movies you watched you need some rest . Go sleep now . The girls went to their room . “ You believe me don ’ t you ?” Bella didn ’ t know what to say . “ Relax , Blair .” It was ten o ’ clock when Blair woke up “ Bella , want to play hide and clap ?” “ What ’ s that ?” “ Someone closes their eyes counts to ten . You can ask for three claps . Every time you ask for a clap you get two claps .” “ So two claps is actually one clap .” Bella counted to ten . She asked for the first clap . It was coming from the right side . She asked for the second clap . It was from the left side of their room . She asked for the last clap . She heard the wardrobe opening . There were two claps . “ Got you !” She opened her eyes . Blair wasn ’ t there . “ You lost !” “ No , I swear there was someone !” “ Come on loser , it ’ s late .” It was 03.07 am . Blair woke up when someone pulled on her leg . “ Stop it Bella it ’ s not funny !” Someone pulled her leg again . “ Bella it ’ s not funny , stop it !” Bella was half asleep . “ I didn ’ t do anything I ’ m sleeping .” “ I mean it !” Bella got up and looked for someone . It wasn ’ t her , who was it . “ Sleep Blair , there isn ’ t anyone here .” There was a rotten meat smell . She started hearing some sounds . She stood up and looked everywhere . There was someone hanging behind the door . “ Oh my god .” “ Blair ?” She pointed at the door . “ There is someone behind the door .” Bella looked there . “ There isn ’ t anyone .” She got up . “ Stop , Bella !” There was a rotten meat smell again . “ Oh my god it ’ s standing right behind you !” The door slammed as Bella turned back . Girls screamed . There was a bloody handprint on the door . Chuck and Lily woke up . They ran to their girls ’ room . The door was stuck . Chuck broke the door down . “ Blair ! Bella ! What happened ?” Blair was crying . Chuck let her relax . “ I felt someone pulling my leg . I thought it was Bella , but she was sleeping . Then there was this rotten meat smell . There was someone hanging behind the door , but Bella couldn ’ t see .” “ Darling it was probably a nightmare .” “ No dad ... She talked to me ... She said she wants my family dead .” She started crying again and hugged her father tightly . The next day was her birthday . “ Happy birthday , Blair !” It was Blair ’ s 15th . “ Open your gifts Blair ” She opened Lauren ’ s gift . It was a beautiful dress . Mackenzie , Ruby and Nadia ’ s gift was a bag . Johnny and Hayden bought her a movie box . “ Happy birthday bestie !” Serena hugged Blair . It was a beautiful doll . “ I ’ ll name it Annabelle . It ’ s time for hide & clap .” Johnny counted . They hid in the basement . Johnny found them at 2nd clap . But he fell while getting out of the basement . They all ran to him . Blair was the last in the line . She was about to get out when there was a smell . Rotten meat smells . The door slammed . She screamed . She turned back and saw Annabelle looking straight at her . She screamed and tried to open the door . She turned back again . Annabelle wasn ’ t there , but there was someone else . A dead maid covered in blood . “ Look what she made me do !” The maid showed her hands . It was covered in blood . Blair screamed . “ Blair ? It ’ s me , Hayden . Get back , I ’ m opening the door . He forced the door open . They hugged . Blair started crying . “ I know it ’ s confusing , but just act like you don ’ t know about these .” The party was over . “ Mom , I really don ’ t want to keep Annabelle .” But “ Serena bought it for you !” She didn ’ t have anything to say . She went to her room and called Hayden . “ Thanks for today !” “ Anytime .” There was a moment of silence . “ Hay ?” “ Yes ?” “ Would you still love me if I wasn ’ t normal ?” “ Of course ! Is it about today ?” “ Um , never mind , I have to go . Love you .” It was 2 months after Blair ’ s birthday party . Outside it was raining so hard . Everyone was sleeping . There was a loud noise that woke Blair up . The clown toy fell from her wardrobe . She screamed . She hated clowns . Bella was awake . She rolled her eyes . “ Clowns , really ?” Blair locked the clown in the wardrobe next to Annabelle . She went to the kitchen to get herself water . The TV was on and someone was in the rocking chair . As she walked next to the rocking chair she saw Annabelle ’ s smiling face . She dropped the glass , ran upstairs and started crying . She got her phone out and texted Hayden . “ I ’ m not normal .” She woke up with Hayden ’ s text . “ Meet me in 20 at the park .” She got ready . “ Mom , I ’ m going to see Hayden .” She hugged Hayden . “ I ’ m going to tell you everything but I need to make sure , you will still love me , right ?” “ Don ’ t worry , you are my only .” “ So the first day after school , Bella , some friends and I went to a ‘ mental hospital mystery house ’. There was a vent in there . In the vent I went , I looked through my mirror to check my back . There was someone covered in blood . But no one else saw it . The same things at night happened which happened at the mental hospital such as syringes , mirrors , handprints . Another day , while we were walking to school , I saw someone hanging on the tree . Bella didn ’ t see it . Still another day we were playing hide & clap Bella told me she heard the wardrobe opening and someone clapping , which wasn ’ t me . That night I felt someone pulling my foot . It wasn ’ t Bella . I heard a rotten meat smell and a voice . There was someone hanging behind the door . Bella didn ’ t see . She went next to it . The door slammed my mom
