Alma was breathing heavily as she looked around in panic and confusion seeing where she was. Her breathing starts to regulate as she calms herself.
Alma looked down to see that she was on a shelf and not standing on the couch where she was, trying to get the doll. She tries to move her legs and arms but they are stiff making her movement limited. Panic is starting to build up again when she hears a bell door ringing. Looking up she sees a little girl that looks her age but with red hair. She is walking in looking around the shop at a doll that looks like her on the table. The girl has red hair, purple mittens and a red scarf. She walks to the table trying to pick up the mirror imaged doll but gets distracted. Alma sees the doll disappear, like in a hot fire it burns like a piece of paper, then in a blink of an eye there is only ash.
As the girl looked up to see it disappear into thin air she looked around trying to find the mirror doll for a minute then looked on the shelf to see it standing there. The girl walked to the shelf, climbing on to the couch to be closer.
Alma knew that the girl didn’t know it was a trap. She tries to get her attention so she won’t suffer the same fate. It is too late, the girl touches the doll.
