This is artwork for encounter #5 of the encounter short stories for my series Blackhaven Institution which is written below. The day Blackhaven Institution a house for orphaned children and unwanted infants burned to the ground mysteriously one day, the souls of those trapped inside became corrupted by an evil that warped them into demons that dwell in an alternate Blackhaven Institution.There they await those who are dragged into this alternate world by an unknown evil. The encounter with this nightmare “Jessica And Her Broken Doll” takes place in the "Orphan Wing" as follows:
Its Sunday night in the town of Blackhaven, Alexandra Pierce known by most as 'Lexi' is getting ready for her night jog. Lexi is one of the most popular girls in Blackhaven Highschool, a very bubbly and optimistic cheerleader loved by many. After a few stretches Lexi ties her running shoes, puts on her walkman, and runs out into the night determined to get at least a good 3 miles. Jogging through town it is quiet and the streets empty as a cool comfortable breeze blows through her hair. After about 25 minutes of jogging she is down to her last mile. Picking up the pace dramatically she speeds down the empty blocks of Blackhaven cutting many corners. While turning down the corner of her block she notices two dark figures in front of her, one significantly taller than the other. She tries to dodge them to avoid a collision, but in doing so she loses her footing and goes barreling into a patch of bushes. Covered in scratches and bleeding from a few small cuts she soon gets up out of the bushes and back on her feet. She looks around and the odd pair is no where in sight. She does notice a doll in the middle of the sidewalk that previously wasn't there. Curious Lexi picks up the doll, a shambling ball-jointed doll with a cracked face. Holding the mysterious doll close Lexi hears a strange moan come out of the doll, scared she throws it again the pavement breaking the doll in half. Eeked out by the doll Lexi swiftly jogs in the direction of her house. Now right outside of her house she feels significantly exhausted and woozy, her legs feeling as if they are weighed down as she struggles on the steps leading to her front door. Reaching out towards the front door Lexi feels a strange force move her and then loses her balance. Falling over the railing on the right side of the steps falling in the bushes in the front garden. Due to her severely exhausted and now drowsy state she cannot get herself to move, soon passing out in the bushes.
Soon after Lexi opens her eyes, unknowingly waking up into the lobby of the alternate Blackhaven Institution. Confused and scared she observes her new bleak surroundings. The air is stagnant making breathing uncomfortable, the atmosphere dreadful, and everything is devoid of color. As she walks around the lobby she yells out “Hello!!! Hello!!! is anyone there, what is this place, I'm scared, please help me!". There is no response, all that can be heard is an unsettling ambiance. She stumbles upon a pair of double doors, grabbing the doors she tries to open them but with no luck. From the otherside of them she believes she hears faint noises. Putting her ear up against the door she hears the faint cries of infants. Soon the noise fades into silence and then suddenly a loud outcry shakes the foundation of the door. Startled and shaken, she backsteps swiftly away from the door and across the lobby coming across another pair of double doors. The faded lettering above the doors spelling out “Orphan Wing”. These seems to be the only pair of doors she is able to open. Though it is completely dark on the otherside of the doors, with positive thoughts she bravely but nervously moves forward. After walking a few steps in darkness a hallway becomes dimly visible in front of her. Turning around the door is gone and she can see only pitch darkness. Lexi is extremely nervous and scared, talking to herself only gives her a brief momentary relief. Sudden she stops in place, hearing a faint bone chilling whisper in her ear, her heart skips a beat. Unable to make it what it says, slowly she turns around afraid someone is behind her. Swinging around expecting to catch someone she sees nothing. Surprised and now relieved Lexi takes a deep breath but before she walks away, the whisper rings in her ear yet again. Lexi starts to whimper as she feels a presence above her. Looking upwards she is face to face with a pair of wide eyes, a pale face, and a quivering jaw. Suspended upside down above Lexi a spectre dressed in a stained nurse's garb. Lexi shrieks in terror falling backwards onto the floor, in shock she back peddles desperately on the ground as the upside down spectre slowly levitates towards her. Able to jump back onto her feet Lexi sprints away screaming, running until the spectre is far behind. She turns into the first room she sees open, hoping to be able to hide away from her pursuer.
Closing the door Lexi walks into the center of the room, looking around she notices on the left side of the room next to a bed is a couple of drawings. She goes to them and looks at these crayon drawings from top to bottom. The first drawing showing a woman holding the hand of a little girl outside of a house during a sunny day,written on it is the phrase “Dolly's House”. The second one below it shows the little girl in the arms of a female angel standing on what appears to be clouds, the tall angel has the same facial features of the little girl, written on it the phrase “Mommy And Me”. The last drawing showing the face of the little girl in tears while in the background a man hangs, the phrase on this drawing says “Why Daddy?”. Lexi feels saddened by these drawings, suddenly a series of visions flash in front of her eyes. These colorless grainy visions show a little girl running with a doll in her hand and a smile on her face. Running into an apartment building and swiftly up the stairs bypassing residents. The little girl makes it to room “304”, she excitedly knocks on the doors calling out “Daddy, Daddy, Daddy!!! its Jessica”. After a brief moment of silence the door creaks open, dropping her doll Jessica's face is riddled with shock, she sees her father hanging from the ceiling. She runs up to him and grabs on his leg calling out to him “Daddy, Daddy, why are you sleeping from up there? Please wake up, wake up!!!” repeating this phrase while tears soon start to run down her cheeks. After a while the little girl drops to her knees crying hysterically looking towards her doll. Suddenly the vision cuts to another scene of the little girl in the back of a car grasping her dolly tightly, approaching a large building in the distance. Then it cuts to a a final scene, the girl waking up from her bed, looking into a hallway to see children and adults running and panicking as smoke fills the air. The little girl grabs her doll and runs out into the hallway crying. The little girl is knocked down by a panicked man darting down the hallway and her dolls falls to the ground. She cries boisterously as she watches her as doll is trampled upon and kicked around by the panicked people in the hallway. Lexi's normal vision soon returns after this, she is puzzled and further saddened by what she had just witnessed.
In front of the only window in the room in a small table she notices s a teddy bear. Approaching the teddy bear Lexi becomes highly disturbed by its appearance. Its eyes gouged are out and has a hole in a stomach stained with black. Cringing at the sight Lexi reaches past the bear, opening the window curtain only to see an overpowering gray fog. As soon as she lets the curtain back down she hears a noise from the farside of the room. Sweating and gasping profusely as she hears something trying to open the door to get into the room. Paniced, Lexi hides under one of the nearby beds anxiously staring towards the door. Lexi sees two pairs of legs enter the room, one of them is dirty and charred up looking while the other strangely doll-like. Lexi covers her mouth trying to calm her heavy breathing . She soon hears a distorted female voice coming from one of them saying “Dolly someone is in here”.The pounding of Lexi's heart after this accelerates to the point that she practically hear her own heartbeat. There is a moment of silence as the pair stands in the center of the room completely motionless. Suddenly the doll-like legs dash towards where Lexi is hiding. Lexi is dragged from underneath the bed by two doll-like arms. Screaming in fear Lexi is staring into the face of a giant eyeless doll with a broken mouth. The doll then throws Lexi forcefully onto the bed and pins her down. The giant doll then starts to dig its thumbs into Lexi's eyes gouging them out as Lexi screams in tremendous pain. Blinded , Lexi is shivering on the bed screaming as blood runs down her cheeks. The distorted female voice utters the last words Lexi would ever hear “Dolly... I am so hungry...”. Lexi feels someone jump onto her, digging its hands into her stomach. Lexi struggles to push it back until she feels it bite off her thumb with its jagged teeth. The trauma is to much and Lexi soon fades away as she feels something eats into her stomach and devouring her insides. A disemboweled Lexi lays there on the bed as a little girl dismounts her corpse. Holding her dolly's hand they both slowly begin to walk out of the room. The little girl with a delighted look on her face and a fleshy toothy grin. Lexi's soul sinking into the depths of the alternate Blackhaven Institution...
