long ago in a small town lived raven the beloved dollmaker she was the towns dollmaker and all loved her work. she made more then just dolls, she made all manor of toy but dolls were what she was known for. raven's doll and toys brought happiness and joy to the children of the town. she hoped there would be no repeat of last time but then that day happen.
raven was tending to her shop, making sure that her dolls were clean and pretty so they would be bought soon. a family walked in mother, father and their young daughters. raven had been dealing with the parents when she hear it. the sound of shattering porcine. three heads turn to the sound and they saw the little girl, she had tired to grab a doll that had been just out of her reach but she had pulled to hard and brought several dolls crashing down.
that night raven couldn't sleep. she keep thinking about what happen, yes the father payed for the broken doll, yes the girl said she was sorry. none of that mattered her doll had been ruined by that brat. raven was kind, caring, and patent but her patents had it's limits and when those limits are reached something bad happens.
it started with a young girl going missing but due to the dark forest. many assumed that the girl was taken by some animal. next a pair of twin girls, then a young boy, more and more children start to disappear. the one thing keeping the town's children happy were raven's dolls and toys but an old women was the only one to notice, that raven had an abundances of dolls.
the old women confronted raven and saw the newest dolls, looked just like the missing children. the women threatened to tell the mayor that raven was a witch and ran out. alone raven thought she couldn't let this happen. she smiled knowing just how to get rid of this "problem".
raven when to the mayor. she was younger than the woman and get to him first. it was raven who started to speak of a witch, the old women living on the outside of the forest. to raven's joy the mayor and townsfolk believed her. she watched as the town dissented on the old woman's houses to look for their children.
soon they found signs of witchcraft. the old women was burn and the town cheered finally free of the evil that claimed the lives of their children. raven cheered with them. if only they knew.
a few days later raven was packing her things in to her waging. when asked she just said " there aren't enough buyers for by works so I'm afraid i must bid you all farewell" that was the last the town saw of raven their beloved dollmaker.
no one knew that raven was a witch, no one knew that she was the one behind all the missing children, no one knew that the old women who lived just outside of town had threatened to tell the mayor that raven was a witch and they would never know that raven framed that woman to get rid of her. no one knew that more or less every doll raven had made were the missing children, and ravens lie had work just like before and the time before that.
in a city lived raven the beloved dollmaker. she made more then just dolls, she made all manor of toy but dolls were what she was known for. raven's doll and toys brought happiness and joy to the children of the town. she hoped there would be no repeat of last time.
