Snippet #931677

Zahina stood up and stretched a little. She had heard some new students moving in, so she decided to get up and wander a little bit. She grabbed her dorm key off of her dresser and also slung her Invader Zim messenger bag around her neck and shoulders. Slowly she opened her door and peeked out her head before stepping into the hallway. She jumped as the door slammed by accident, but shook it off as she began to walk down the long labyrinth of hallways, twirling her key chain around her index finger. All she heard was the light echo of her footsteps in the eerily quiet hallways. Zahina stopped, frozen in place though, when she heard a creepy child-like giggle. She turned around on her heels and saw a little ghost girl standing there. The child had long brown hair and was dressed in a long white nightgown. She held an old raggedy ann doll in her hands. Her hazel eyes glistened in the dim lighting of the hallway."Oh..hello," Zahina said. "What's your name?"

The little girl did not respond, but simply smiled. She motioned for Zahina to come closer, which she did, but as soon as she was within feet of the apparition, the little girl took off down the hallway. "Hey wait!" Zahina called out as she ran after her. She ran, twisting and turning down hallways, but when she turned the final corner, the girl was gone. She sighed a little, looking down at the ground. Suddenly something caught her eye. The doll! She slowly picked it up and examined it. It was an old 1910 raggedy ann doll. The white dress was stained and shabby with a few holes in the seams.The cold black eyes stared at her lifelessly as she wiped some of the non-ground in dirt off it's face and red hair. Zahina looked around, wondering if anyone was in the dorms and if anyone had heard her or the ghost.
