Chapter Sixty-Nine

" These people are innocent Mateo, let not create unnecessary attention to ourselves." Florida said, staring at an empty space.

" There's nobody here, who could she possible be talking to?" Mitchell thought silently, lifting her feet up from the wood to have a clearer look around the house.

" I have a bad feeling about them, I can't stay in the same space with meddling humans." Mateo said, he was standing in front of Florida.

But Mitchell couldn't see him; thanks to his short stature.

" There's another voice, there got to be someone else here." Mitchell confirm to herself.

" Mateo...." Florida called out silently.

" If you can't do it then I will carry it out myself." Mateo declares, without a single feeling of sympathy.

" Mateo? But that was the name of her son's doll." Mitchell thought, she started to get afraid.

" No! If that's what you want, let find a way to scare them away." Florida suggested.

If that was the only way to please Mateo.

" If we do that, we do it on my terms." Mateo said, chuckling slightly.

He moves away from Florida front and walk towards the dinning room area, giving Mitchell a clear view of a walking and talking doll from the window.

" Have been starving Florida, I need fresh flesh." Mateo grin, as he climb on top a chair to grab a glass of water from the table.

Then something flashed in his eyes, he immediately turned to the window like a wind; and his face met with Mitchell eyes.

" Oh my gosh!" Mitchell scream, and her leg slip off the wood then she landed on the floor.

" There's someone out there." Mateo said.

He was shocked to his spine, he saw her eye only for a brief moment; but he was certain someone was out there even though it happened like a lighten.

" You can't go outside, let me check it out." Florida said, and turn to the door immediately.

Mitchell move her broken ankle, that broke due to the fall; her eyes slowly fell on her already jittery legs.

She was scared to her bone marrows, she couldn't believe her eyes; a talking and walking doll that even wanted to grab a glass of water; her face was pale with fear and panic, she didn't even know what to do.

She manages to drag herself behind the garbages while Florida check around and couldn't find anyone; she went back inside.

" No one is there, it must have been a distance sound." She said only to meet an empty house.

" Where's Mateo?"
