Forgotten Memories
Jennifer suddenly awakens at night, on a rickety bus going down a deserted country road.  Besides the driver and herself, the only other person onboard is a young boy, engrossed in reading a tattered storybook.  Though she does not realize it, the boy is dressed like Joshua Wilson.
The  boy is suddenly standing beside her, asking her to read a story.  He gives her the storybook he was reading and opens it to a blank page, asking her what happens next.  Without another word, he runs off the bus.  Jennifer finds herself following him, only to see him disappear into the darkness and the bus leaves.  She reads the incomplete storybook, "The Little Princess".  The book tells the story of her life, with the blank pages representing her forgotten memories. More confused than ever, she goes after the boy. 
After discovering a dog collar and boarding pass in an old shed, Jennifer stumbles upon the Rose Garden Orphanage.  She sees kids in paper-bag masks beating something in a bloody sack.  Frightened, she goes around back.  There are notes on the wall about a Stray Dog who kidnaps kids and gives out candy.  She makes her way to the front and sees the sack disappear inside.  Going in, it looks like the orphanage is abandoned, but the malicious giggles and door-closing kids prove otherwise.  In the attic, she finds the boy again.  There is an announcement for a ceremony in the inner court, and the boy says they are burying her "special friend".  She goes and finds a grave, which she soon finds herself digging up.  A coffin-like box is buried.  Inside, is the bloody sack.  Jen suddenly feels a presence behind her and turns to see some of the masked kids there.  They call her"filthy" and pour water on her, before trapping her in the coffin and carrying it off.
