12.4
Luna moves into the farmhouse, seeing more childlike paintings in a nursery room.
A row of corpses are lined up against each wall.
Luna hears someone following her and hides among the corpses.
Polly runs in and starts looking through the dolls.
Luna has to freeze and hope that Polly doesn’t see her.
Polly is looking at the dolls for a long time.
Just when Luna thinks she is going to give herself away, someone calls Polly away.
When she is sure Polly has gone, Luna gets up.
Polly shouts that a doll is moving and races back into the nursery.
Luna begins fighting with Polly.
She manages to slam her head into a mirror and grabs a piece of mirror as a weapon.
Sam appears in the doorway, but an adult voice tells him to go and finish his tea.
Sam does as he is told, further puzzling Luna.
Luna is cautious of the man, but he tells her he isn’t going to stop her murdering Polly. He says he’s been trying to pluck up the nerve to do it for months now.
