my best friend. Next to Teddy, my bear.

Let me guess.

You got something to tell me, right?

One of those girls

you brought here with you...

- she's gone.

- Gone?

- Gone where?

- They dragged her into a room.

She was screaming and kicking

and bleeding.

- Who did? Who dragged her away?

- The elves.

This is not

a fairy tale. This is real.

Great. Well, we'll

just check it out in the morning.

But suppose there isn't a morning?

Suppose this is the

longest night in the whole world?

Remember what Mr.

Gabriel said about the storm?

Yes, but he was just being poetic.

Suppose the elves get more people

during the storm?

Suppose they're

satisfied with only one?

I mean, maybe

they were just lonely.

Well, I guess you're right.

- Judy.

- Yes, Ralph?

- What's that on your slippers?

- I don't know.

It's blood.

Yeah, well, it was pretty

bloody when they dragged her away.

You weren't kidding, were you?

- Judy.

- Yes, Ralph?

- Can you show me

where it happened? - I guess so.

Okay. Let's go.

- I think it was around here.

- You're not sure?

What do you

want from me? L'm 7 years old.

- Okay, which way, left or right?

- Right.

I think.

Stay close.

I thought I heard a rat.

Oh, my God. Come on.

Nothing in here.

Well, that

takes a load off my mind.

Look.

Oh, no. This way.

- It's sticky.

- Maybe blood, huh?

Maybe.

- Do you think they took her

up to the attic? - I don't know.

Maybe there's just a window open

up there, or maybe a hole in the roof.

I'll tell you what.

Wait here and I'll go check.

Why? L've been in attics before.

Okay, come on.

What is all

this stuff? Lt's all dusty.

Looks like it

hasn't been used in years.

Thank God.

We better go down

and tell somebody about this.

My dad won't believe you.

He didn't believe me.

They'll believe me. L'm a grownup.

Ralph, look out!

Ralph, are you okay?

Yeah. Sure.

What happened?

There were some dolls up there,

and you tripped over them.

I thought a rat bit me.

What the hell are you doing?

- Something's happened to one of the girls.

- Daddy, remember? L told you!

Yeah, we know. Elves.

No, please,

listen to this. Look at this!

- What is that? Blood?

- Yes!

- Isabel, you nearly...

- He's not Isabel.

I can see that.

I'm sorry,

but something's happened to your friend.

- What do you mean?

- I saw her get dragged off.

Judy, I warned you about that crap.

I don't know what's happened to her,

but there's blood all over the hallway!

What have you done with her?

You took a fancy to her

when you picked us up, didn't you?

Isabel was right!

You wanted some quick fun!

What did you do, follow her?

Then when she said no...

No! L was fast asleep in my bed.
