Song: Alstad – The Room Upstairs
Once home from the doctor's office, Natalie naturally wanted to do her favorite thing.. to play with the doll house upstairs in Aaron and Billy's room..
Billy was by the kitchen table doing his homework, Aaron was attending the boy scouts and Isaac was still outside the school building doing his homework.
Natalie went straight for the dollhouse and did her best to ignore that there seemingly was another girl in the room..
The little girl followed Natalie downstairs, as she was going to prepare herself a meal. Whatever this little girl is doing there, she seems to be a little grumpy about something.
Little girl: Have you ever thought about getting married?
Natalie: Oh, haha, not really..
Little girl: The rising moon is a bad sign, so says my mom. You have to get married before the moon rises again.
Natalie has no desire to get married anytime soon. She ignores the little girl and gets up to do the dishes.
It was getting late and Isaac hadn't gone home yet. He was still at school playing with a doll house in the kids playroom. Isaac sometimes does this... stays at school after hours and doesn't want to go home..
Little girl: Mommy says a good girl always does the dishes. A good girl always does what she is told.
Little girl (mumbling to herself): A good girl stays in her room, and always listens to her mommy.
Little girl: A good girl always does her chores, so that mommy won't get mad.

Natalie eats yesterdays leftovers for breakfast the next morning when the phone rings.
Natalie: Hi, Elisa. What's up?
Elisa: I haven't heard from you in a while, Natalie. How are you doing?
Natalie: Oh...I'm doing fine, but I had to go to a doctor the other day, and she says you don't exist.
Elisa: Yeah, I knew the doctor would say that. What else did she say?
Natalie: Umm.. well, she said something about the mind being very powerful and that she also thought I was not in danger.
Elisa: Hmm, well that is the doctor's job... and for what she believes, of course, that is true. But unfortunately she doesn't know everything. I don't mean to scare you Natalie, but you are in danger. Maybe it's time for you to pay me another visit. The effect of the protective spell I cast on you is wearing out.
Natalie: Aha, ok, so the protective spell is wearing out.. uhmm, well, I have to go see the doctor again tomorrow.. but I'll come back up as soon as I can after that...
Elisa: That's good to hear, Natalie.. and please do visit the doctor, she is only trying to help, but unfortunately, she cannot defeat the danger.. Now don't forget to visit me, Natalie. It's important.
It is very generous of Elisa to not dismiss the doctor entirely, even though they have pretty opposing views on certain things...
Natalie: I.. I understand.. I'll come back up as soon as I can, I promise.. I don't want to be in danger..
Elisa: That sounds good, Natalie. Take care..
Natalie: You too, Elisa.. ok, bye.
Then Natalie had to sit down and fill out her forms, like the doctor said. A good girl always does her homework.
Little girl:I want to go out looking for diamonds.
Little girl: But mommy says I have to do the dishes. I don't like doing dishes.
After filling out the forms as best as she can, Natalie goes upstairs to play with the doll house again, but Aaron is already there. The little girl follows Natalie upstairs, so instead Natalie turns to the little girl...
Natalie: I don't like doing dishes either.
Looks like Natalie and the little girl understand each other perfectly...
Little girl: I have a teddy bear in my room. It is the only toy I have.
Little girl: My mom said it was a present from an old witch that lives far, far away.
Little girl: My mom says that if we are not nice, she will take me and the teddy bear and leave us out in the forest at night.
Little girl: But one day a man came to our school.. and he said that if I found a special type of diamond, I could make the teddy bear come alive!
Natalie: You must always do as your momma says, and clean the house!
Natalie: Mommy will get very angry if you don't clean the house!
Natalie: Go to your room, now! And stay there until you can behave, or else..!
Natalie: Mommy is really angry with you now!
Natalie: "Do what mommy says, Natalie"
Natalie: "Go to your room, Natalie"
Natalie: "Ok mommy, I will do anything you say mommy."
Natalie: Didn't I tell you not to steal food from the fridge, Natalie! That food is MINE!!
Natalie: Come over here, you little piece of shit!!
Natalie...? What the hell...?
Natalie: "Please don't hurt me, mommy. I'll be a good girl, mommy.."
Oh, yikes... just.. yikes...umm...
After this rather unsettling episode, Natalie got an invitation to a party over at Idun Skullerud-Morales house. Natalie was feeling a little uneasy, but thought she couldn't turn down the invitation, so she decided to go.
The party looks crowded as everyone gathered in the hallway. Natalie has a reaction to all the people that looks a little strange, as if she is angered by something. Idun, the host of the party, is in the green jacket to the right.
Natalie goes to stand in the corner with her back against the wall, and then her phone rings. Its Elisa calling her again.
Natalie: No, I am not at home.. I am at a party, why?
Natalie: I should be home, because the demon might find me easier when I am out? Are you telling me I can't leave the house?
Natalie: You just want me to be safe, I understand, but Elisa... I am not alone here..
Natalie: Yeah, uhh.. love you too, Elisa..
Natalie: Yes, I have been eating today.. of course I have... yes, yes, I will take care of myself.. ok, bye Elisa..
Natalie was a little confused by this strange call from Elisa.. she was starting to sound like the mommy she never had...
"Of course I have been eating!" Natalie said to herself. Even though she found it odd, she felt a little bit of warmth inside knowing that Elisa bothered to call her and ask if she had eaten.. "..and she even said that she loved me", Natalie thought. It was a strange feeling to Natalie, one she hadn't felt to often in her life. She had to stand there in the corner for a while and just feel.
It was a good feeling, but it made her a little nervous, too. Why would someone say they loved her? Mommy never said that.. Natalie wasn't sure what was going on.
Well, Natalie was getting hungry, and just made a plate of sushi in Iduns kitchen.. after randomly changing her outfit..but maybe you should go home and get some sleep now.. its getting late, and tomorrow is your second appointment with Dr. Lovensteen...
Or you choose to could chill by the pool I suppose. Idun is one of the wealthier people in town, so she does have a pretty nice house.
Well, no.. not this time...Narrator intervenes and says... you go home and get some sleep... take care, Natalie...
