The truck pulled into the driveway, and Maggie put her shoes on and rushed out. It was a UPS truck, and Maggie had wanted a Fuggler for her 9th birthday. today, she was going to have a big party with her friends and eat lots of cake and ice cream. Fugglers however, were a type of special doll. They were plushies, and a lot of people bought them.

Maggie's parents rushed out and stood by her. "mom! Dad! It's finally here!" Maggie cheered. She had waited almost a month, but it came. The truck driver stepped out of the car and handed Maggie a box. "Her you are young lady!" the driver smiled. Maggie rushed inside and tor open the box. Inside was a Fuggler. It was unclear about what kind of animal it was. Also, the thing was a little creepy. But, Maggie didn't care. The soft material was brown, and it had buttons for eyes. It had been holding a heart in it's arms as well.

But, the creepiest part was it's teeth. They looked real, and they appeared to be jutting from the mouth. The young girl held up the plushy and smiled at it. "How do you like it sweetie?" the asked. "A little creepy, but I love it" she said.

4 HOURS LATER:

The part had already arrived, and Maggie was jamming to music with her friends. Her parents were passing around cake while the music played. The Fuggler was sitting on the couch, facing the girls. While they danced, the mom glanced at the Fuggler. She didn't know why, but for some reason, she had an eerie feeling about the plushy. Maggie's mom walked over to the plushy and put a wash cloth over it's face, hiding the hideousness. When she was satisfied, she went back over to the kitchen.

"Hey Honey! I need your help with the streamers!" Alex called across the house. Alex was Maggie's father, and Elizabeth was her mother. It took about 10 minutes, but they finally managed to put everything together. "mom, I'm gonna head to my room with my friends. Will you watch over Mr. Fuggler?" Maggie asked. "Sure sweetie" Elizabeth replied. Maggie and her friends went into the room. Elizabeth glanced back Mr. Fuggler...and was shocked.

The cloth was no longer over it's face, and this time, it's facial expression had changed. Elizabeth gave a slight grown. "Hey, what's wrong?" Alex asked her as he walked over. "It's just...just the doll. I don't like it. It's just...creepy" Elizabeth said. Alex gave her a strange look. "Honey, it's just a weird plush doll. What could it possibly do? Besides, Maggie loves it" Alex said.

"yeah, I know. Maybe it's just me" Elizabeth said to Alex. They both smiled and kissed. "I love you so much. You and Maggie" Alex said. Elizabeth looked at her watch. "Well, it's 10. Maybe the girls should go to bed" She said. Alex nodded, and Elizabeth came over to the girl's room. "It's 10. You girls should hit the sack" Elizabeth called. "Okay Mom!" Maggie replied. Everything had been put away, and the cake was stored in the refrigerator. Maggie ran out and grabbed Mr. Fuggler.

"Good night mom and dad" Maggie smiled. She gave her parents hugs, and then walked into the bedroom. Alex and Elizabeth went to their room, slipping on pajamas. "Well, I need to get up early tomorrow and fix the shed" Alex reminded Elizabeth. 'Yeah, but hey, it won't take long" Elizabeth said, getting Alex to think on the bright side. They tucked into bed and turned off the light.

Elizabeth fell into a deep sleep.

11 HOURS LATER:

Maggie woke up, rubbed her eyes, and looked at the clock. It was 9:00 in the morning. She got up and shuffled into the living room. When Maggie had finished rubbing her eyes and got her vision back, she let out a blood-curdling scream as she looked into the living room. Elizabeth heard the scream and flung awake. Alex awakened right after her. They both ran out the living room, and Elizabeth covered her mouth with terror.

Maggie's friends, Emma, Julie, and Anna had been hung to the ceiling by a rope, and they're stomachs were cut open, causing intestines to fall to the floor in bloody mess. Maggie was tied to a chair, with her mouth duck-taped. In front of the scene, stood the Fuggler. It was standing in the living room with a sharp knife, staring at Elizabeth.

On the wall behind it, had words wrote in blood that said "No one resists my love...Elizabeth". Alex and his wife looked in horror at the plushy.

And then, blood began to pour from the Fuggler's mouth...and it let out a menacing smile.
