*Jasper's Pov*

Before we got ready to confront Mr. Hopp. I thought we could also find a way to get rid of him. It probably won't easy through to the fact that the Entity could control Mr. Hopp anywhere in the house.

The Entity can only come to our world through a specific item and have him stay Earthbound.

That item is the plush toy, Mr. Hopp himself...

So...Why not burn the doll?

...

After we defeated Mr. Hopp using the toy gun and slingshot.

I told Ruby it's still a chance he's around, so we need some matches and fireliquid. I've managed to firm the fireliquid in the kitchen. Meanwhile, Ruby shot the flower pot on the desk next to the parent's room. Inside the pot, she had found nd the matches. Not sure why they were hidden there but oh well...

We both headed to the living room and interacted with the heap of white papers.

Me: You ready...if we do this...we'll set the house on fire...and lose our home...but it's the only way...

Ruby: I know...I'm ready...

With no other option, we set them on fire.

The clothes burn rapidly before it started spreading on the floor. We only had minutes to get the freak out of here.

We only had my phone, charger, the medallions, Ruby's two toys, and the clothes on our back. We had no time to get anything else...

Which means...everything else in our possession will be burned along with the house...

I quickly grabbed Ruby and headed for the door.

"Jasper! Ruby! Come and give your Nana a big kiss~!"

Ruby: Nana?!

Me: Ruby! No! It's a trap! Nana Esther is dead remember?!

Ruby:....

Seeing the sad yet stubborn look on Ruby's face. Whether it is a trap or not, she wanted to know herself. Noticing that Ruby wouldn't budge, I sighs anxiously in defeat.

Jasper:....Let's go check together. One more time.

Ruby nodded as we leave the door and headed over to see our "Nana" at a distance away.

No...that can't be right. She's Dead!

Ruby: Nana?!

"Esther": *Smiles* Jasper...Ruby...

Ruby: But...we thought you were dead...

Me: No...wait a minute, Ruby...

I glared at "Nana Esther" whose smile never wavered.

Me: Nana...

"Esther":...?

Me: Do you really take me for a fool? There's no way you're Nana Esther...NICE TRY MR. HOPP! TRICKS ARE FOR KIDS!!!

I shot a pellet at "Nana Esther" whom was soon grabbed and pulled away by another monster version of Mr. Hopp.

Just as I suspected, the Nana Esther we just seen was nothing more but an hallucination created by Mr. Hopp to lead us into a trap.

Mr. Hopp: PLAY WITH ME, JASPER! RUBY!

Me: RUN RUBY RUN!!!

Both Ruby and I ran for the front door only to see it was no longer in it's spot. In it's place was a white brick wall of our house. Luckily for us, the front door was now a couple of distances away.

The fire we started quickly spreaded everywhere. It was coming in fast!!! We're running out of time!!!

Either we get captured by Mr. Hopp, Get burned to a crisp, or escape!

It was now or never!

Shadowy claws had appeared all over the house as I pulled my sister into my arms and begin to run for the door as quickly as I can.

Mr. Hopp's long arm begin to follow us.

In order to ensure their escape, Ruby begins to shoot more pellets at the long shadowy arms blocking our path while I jumped over the small ones.

We kept this loop up as I finally made it for the door. Mr. Hopp's arm was about at least a few inches away from them.

Wasting no more time, I've opened the door and pushed Ruby out before following suit closing the door on Mr. Hopp.

....

We made it out....

Ruby:...W-We made it...

Me: Yeah...We did...

Ruby had tears in her eyes. They were relief yet sadness.

Relief that we made it out of that nightmare.

But sadness due to the fact we lost our parents...

Does this...make us orphans now...? Like Nana Esther used to be?

We watched as the house burned down.

We then heard a voice.

"Jasper...Ruby...Save Us...Save Your Family!"

It seems like Mr. Hopp or the Entity is trying to trick us again into going back into the burning house using the voices of our parents and Nana Esther.

I can still hear their screams
...followed by the demonic agonizing screams of Mr. Hopp has he burned in the flames.

Ruby closed her ears to blocked them out. I did the same...

The screams won't stop....

We didn't even hear our neighbor Mark's footsteps or the Police coming behind us to rescue us.

....

The house burned to the ground after that...

Everything in that house that we once owned...was lost.

We never saw Mr. Hopp again after that...

Well good riddance. That would mean the Entity or Isabelle won't be able to get us now.

...Jenna and David...Our parents...they were no longer with us anymore. Ruby cried everyday over their deaths.

I wasn't even doing so well myself either...

I've...never got the chance...to say goodbye to them...or sorry for not being the cheerful son they wanted me to be...

Right now we're currently living with our neighbor, Mark, who offered to take us in...

Things were looking smoothly for me and Ruby now...

....

Mark: Hey you two! You doing alright?

Ruby: We're doing fine Mark!

Me: Just getting there.

Mark: I know. It's really hard for you two. So I thought I give you guys something to cheer you up! I've just gotten a package through the mail.

Ruby: Oh? A present! For us?!

Mark: Yep! Brand new toys~! I hope you like them!

Ruby: ?!!

Me:.....

To mine and Ruby's horror, Mark gave us two animal dolls. One was a stripped tiger wearing blue pants and the other one was a panda wearing a pink bow and pink pants.

....They had a eerie feeling to them...

Like Mr. Hopp...

Me: .....Huh? What the...?

Ruby:....What are their names?

Mark: Not sure who the sender is but they said the toys were named...

"Mr. Stripes...and Miss Bo..."

....

The nightmare...was far from over...
