NOT BY ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This story occurs when Annabelle is in the possession of a young girl named Rebbecca.

An elderly woman named Victoria and her young niece Rebbecca move to 1140 Rue Royale, which Victoria had just inherited. The coachman who rides them there tells them that the house is considered haunted, but Victoria refuses to listen. Shortly after however, strange events begin to happen. Images of deformed or burned people are seen. Victoria begins to have nightmares. To her amazement, she finds a portrait of herself as a young girl hung on the wall for no reason. One day, both women return to the house to find it perfectly clean. The cleaning lady however left a note saying that she was far too frightened of the house to stay and clean. As the events become stranger and stranger, Victoria turns to a nearby covenant for help. The coachman tries to tell her that the covenant is also considered sinister, but she refuses to believe that, as she was previously a member of it. At the covenant, Victoria asks the head nun for help exorcising the ghosts. The nun replies (while taking away a young woman's baby and putting it in the drawer) that it was very probable that the spirits in the house could never be sent away. Meanwhile, it becomes apparent that Rebbecca has begun to communicate with the spirits, particularly the ghost of a man named Apollo and a hideously deformed girl. It is revealed that the previous owner of the house was a woman named Delphine LaLaurie, who treated her slaves cruelly and subjected them to horrid torture and makeshift medical experiments. Her deeds were discovered when a slave woman chained to a stove deliberately set fire to herself to try to escape her mistress. The ghosts warn Rebbecca that the nuns are evil and that she must never return to the covenant. Shortly after, the nuns kidnap Victoria and Rebbecca, claiming that Rebbecca attacked her aunt under demonic possession. Apollo warns Rebbecca that they mean to kill her. She escapes with her aunt, who Apollo possesses. When they return home, she follows the ghosts' instructions and has the floorboards pulled up. Underneath are hundreds of bones, which she has removed and buried properly. Apollo shows Rebbecca images of what LaLaurie put the slaves through, including hacking off their limbs. A young slave girl tried to escape by jumping from the roof and broke many bones and LaLaurie responded by ordering the girl's remaining bones to be broken. It was then revealed that the disfigured ghost was the girl who tried to jump. Victoria, very weak from shock and fear, gives Rebbecca her locket as a keepsake. When Rebbecca opens it and sees her aunt's younger picture, she finally understands: Her aunt was Delphine LaLaurie. When confronted, Victoria shows no remorse for her actions, insisting that the slaves were filth who deserved what she did to them. Furious, Rebbecca force-feeds her aunt poison and kills her. After she is buried, Apollo wakes Lalaurie again, condemning her to spend an eternity locked in a coffin. Finally avenged, the ghosts are able to leave.
