Chapter 8

Later that night, I had a very strange dream. It started at a carnival on a ferris wheel. I was sitting with Bobby, the girl who wore gloves all of the time, and a girl with goggles and a yellow trench coat whom I haven't seen before. We were going up and down, after the third time around, we got stuck at the top. A few seconds later, the wheel was dislogged from the frame and thrown twords the ground. In a few seconds time, a ice shield grew around us, then it turned to steel. Then a ice bar formed over our laps. But they did no good, because when we hit the ground, we broke through the ice, and fell to the bottom. When We hit the bottom, I woke up in a cold sweat.

After I collected my thoughts, I looked at the clock.

"Only six o'clock? God!" But I got up anyways, I couldn't sleep after that dream of mine. I got dressed and walked out of my room. I was surprised to see someone walk past my room right when I opened the door. I walked out ot the hall way to see a couple of others walking by.

"Whats going on?" I asked Bobby when he walked by.

"We're going to go to the carnival. You wanna come to?"

"Sure, why not?"

"Well, maybe because there are clowns! Evil, evil clowns!" He said jokingly.

"When are you going?"

"Right now. You ready? Don't worry about food, we're getting some on the way."

"Okay." I said as we walked to the front of the mansion.

At the carnival, we were the first one's there. It was cool, there was only six of us. I looked around to see all of the rides. I had forgoten about the dream, so I didn't pay attention to a exact replicate of the ferris wheel in my dream.

"Hey, what's that on your head?" A girl asked me. I felt my head to feel a large bump.

"I don't know, where is the fun house?"

"Why?" She asked shocked.

"So I can check my face in the mirrors."

"Oh, it's over there." She said as she pointed twords the back. As I walked back there, I bought a all-day-wrist-band so I could go in the fun house.

When I got to the fun house, the guy who ran it asked, "What's that on your head? Are you a mutant?"

"I don't know, I didn't even notice it. And no, I'm not a mutant." I lied.

"Good, those mutants piss me off you know. If my son was one, I would kill him."

"Can I go in the ride now?"

"Yeah, sure." He opened the door. "It might just be a pimple, you know." He said as he closed the door behind me. I walked through the 'house of mirrors', which sucked. They were just a a bunch of pieces of glass that didn't even reflect. I walked up some trick stairs that wobbled when you walked up them. Finally, I found the 'wacky mirrors'. I looked in the flatest mirror I could. I looked in the mirror to see a huge bump in the middle of my fore head. I felt it, but pulled away because it felt like a knife stabbing me.

"Ow! shit! What the hell!?" I touched it again to make sure I wasn't over reacting, but I did the same thing. "What the hell is that?" But I didn't get a chance to find out, the thing shrunk up leaving a little sag of skin.

"Gross!" I said. I turned away and walked to the slide, I went down and met up with the others.

"What happened to your bump?" Asked the girl with the gloves.

"It just disapeared."

Bobby interupted, "I don't think you all have been formally introduced, this is Jubilee." He said pointing to the girl with goggles and a trench coat. "And this is Rouge." It was the girl with the gloves.

"Where is Jean and the other guy she's always with?"

"You mean Scott?" Said Rouge, "They went to go see the fortune teller."

"Oh, so? What do you want to go on?" I asked.

"Oh! Lets go on the ferris wheel!" Yelled Jubilee.

"All right." We all said in unision. We got in line for the ferris wheel, which there was none, and waited for the guy to let us on.

"Three tickets, or a wrist band." We all showed him our wrist bands. "Okay." He opened the gate and let us in the booth. When the ride started, we all had a smile. But after the first spin, we all had the same expression on our face, a look of like we didn't know what to think. Finally, Jubilee said what we were all thinking, "Deja vous!" Right when she said that, we got stuck at the top of the ferris wheel. Bobby looked over the side.

"The ferris wheel guy is lying on the ground! He's bleeding!" He yelled.

"What?!" Yelled Rouge.

"I think he's dead!" Just then, the booth we were in tore away from the wheel. Bobby, without thinking, formed a ice shield around us. But I put my hand on the ice and panicked and turned it to steel. At the same time, Bobby fomed a lap bar of ice for us. The booth fell down and hit the ground. When it did, mine and Jubilee's lap bar broke sending us to the bottom of the steel covered booth making me black out.
