Annabelle: Creation Page #3

---

Nothing.

You like it?

It's nice.

It's not my finest work.

You seem troubled.

Maybe I can help.

I don't think so.

Talking about the things

that bothers us, sometimes...

...it's all the help we need.

Well...

...it's Janice.

She's acting funny.

"Acting funny"?

She says...

...she's seen your daughter.

My daughter...

...has been dead for a very, very long time.

I know, but...

...you see, Janice went into her bedroom.

She what?

She knows she wasn't supposed to, but...

- ...she found this doll and...

- What doll?

- The one in the white dress.

- That's impossible.

That doll was hidden away.

She mustn't go near that doll.

Do you understand me?

Janice, I told you not to use that room.

Please don't take

My sunshine away

Stay here.

Mr. Mullins?

Mr. Mullins, are you okay?

Go get ready for bed, girls.

I need to speak to Mrs. Mullins.

Linda, what are you doing?

This doll... it's hurting Janice,

and it killed Mr. Mullins.

I'm getting rid of it!

Linda, let's go back.

Linda?

No! No!

- What is that?

- Who cares? Run!

Janice. Janice, I got rid of it.

I got rid of the doll.

Janice? Janice?

- What's going on?

- Where's Janice?

- I don't know.

- Go find her. Hurry!

What's going on?

No! No! Get that thing away from me!

It's back. I knew it was back.

What is it?

The evil.

The devil itself.

What are you talking about?

After Samuel and I lost our daughter...

...we prayed and promised our devotion to...

...whatever power would allow us to...

...speak or see our beloved girl again.

It started small, the contact.

But it was her... our busy Bee.

We knew it was her.

She wanted permission

to move into the doll...

...so she could be with us forever.

We said "yes,"

and that's when it became stronger.

Soon, we could actually see her.

Only in fleeting glimpses, but it was enough.

Our beloved Bee...

...our darling.

Annabelle?

Even though I couldn't hold her...

...it was comforting just to have

the buzz of activity again.

But we soon realized

it wasn't our Annabelle at all.

Esther?

Esther?

It was a demonic presence,

and it was using our Annabelle...

...to manipulate us into giving it

a soul it could inhabit.

It tried to take mine...

...but Samuel reached out to the Church.

They saved my soul...

...but the evil

was still attached to that doll.

So we locked it away...

...where it could be surrounded

by the word of God.

It was quiet for all these years.

I thought the evil was contained.

We thought helping the girls

could be our penance.

But we ended up giving it

just what it wanted.

Janice.

She can walk.

It's just us, Janice.

Time to cease from sin, Carol.

Sister Charlotte!

Sister Charlotte! It's Janice.

- She did this to me.

- Look what she did!

- Carol, call for help.

- Okay.

And stay together.

They're on the way. Let's get somewhere safe.

- What do we do?

- We can't just leave her here, can we?

Mrs. Mullins?

Mrs. Mullins?

Mrs. Mullins?

Girls!

Let's go. Now!

Forgive me, Sister, for I have sinned.

- Charlotte! Charlotte!

- Let's go!

Linda!

Go, Kate! Get help!

Or...

...you could help me.

The truck!

Come on, come on, come on.

- Come in. Close the door, close the door!

- Come on! Go!

- No!

- Go! Go!

Go!

Look.

- No!

- Hurry!

- I'm trying!

- It's there!

- It's not moving.

- I'm trying, I'm trying!

Guys!

- Guys! Guys!

- What? What?

- The scarecrow.

- What scarecrow?

What?

- Kate!

- Get out!

The barn! The barn!

Carol.

What?

No! No! Nancy, I can't get

the door open. Is it locked?

Can you get it from your side?

Girls?

Nancy?

No.

No. No, no, no, no!

Lord, help me. Lord, help. Help.

Carol, it's me. It's just me.

Come on.

Linda?

Shoot.

No!

No!

Sister Charlotte?

You know what I like most about Sweet Sue?

She looks just like you.

Linda?

Where are you, Linda?

Linda?

Linda?

Come out and play.

Found you!

You swore that if I found a home,

you'd come, too.

You know what they say

about breaking a swear.

- You go straight to hell.

- Janice!

Forgive me.

No!

Let me out! Let me out!

Let me out!

Go!

Go!

- Sister Charlotte!

- Sister Charlotte!

Anything?

I'm afraid not.

Still no sign of the girl.

But at her age...

...how far could she have gone?

Don't worry.

We'll find her.

The house is blessed.

Whatever evil was here is no longer.

But...

...the doll.

It was a conduit for the evil.

That evil has moved on.

Now the doll is just a doll.

So...

...which one of you gets this?

How are you holding up?

I'm okay.

You know, that wasn't Janice

back there. That was...

...something else.

I know.

Hi, there. Welcome.

Let's go right inside, shall we?

She mostly keeps to herself and can be

a bit quiet, but she's a lovely girl.

She's just been through a lot.

I think you will love her.

Hello.

There's someone here to see you, sweetie.

I wanna introduce you

to Mr. and Mrs. Higgins.

And you must be...

- Annabelle.

- Annabelle?

What a lovely name.

We brought you a present.

I hope you like dolls.

- Did you hear that?

- Yeah.

What is it?

- You stay here.

- No, no, no! No, wait!

It's all right. It's okay. It's all right.

I'm just gonna take a quick look.

Call the police.

- Annabelle!

- Hi, Mom.

John?
