Chapter 12
I put pics of the rides in case you didn't know what I was talking about.
He dragged me up to the ticket booth. I was still in a daze from what happened just a second ago. The woman in the booth looked up at Splendy's face. She had to strain her neck slightly to see him. Even though he was in human form he still stood at a towering 6'4.
"Two adults." Splendy chirped to the lady while handing her the money. "Could we also get wristbands?" Splendy asked her. "Can do." she answered taking out two wristbands and giving them to him. She slid them under the half-circular hole at the bottom of the glass. He picked them up from the counter.
"Thank you!" he said. "Welcome." she responded smiling. Slendy dragged me through the gates and into the carnival grounds. Splendy took my wrist and placed the wristband around it. By now, I've broken out of the daze. "What's this for?" I asked him. "It's so we don't have to wait in line. Sometimes it takes hours just to get on one ride!" he said dramatically.
"Seriously?!" I said shocked. "Mmmhmm. But onto another point, what ride do you wanna go on first?" he asked me. I looked around at the surrounding rides. I looked to my left and saw a contraption made up of swings that spun around while raising higher up into the sky. I stared at it until I made up my mind. "I want to go on that one." I said pointing to the ride. "Okay then! Let's go!" he said happily taking my hand and walking me over to the ride.
He got into a separate line from all of the other people. If there's one thing I remember from my childhood, when it was still sweet and good, it was to NEVER cut in lines. Mother taught me to be good, not bad, and cutting in line was considered bad. "Splendy we shouldn't be cutting in line." I said dragging my heels attempting to slow him down. My attempt was futile.
"It's fine, the bracelets allow us to go ahead of instead of waiting in line." he said not at all affected by my attempts to stop him, to be honest he probably never even realized that I was. "It's not against the rules, if that's what's holding you back and ruining your shoes." he pointed out while looking at my dirtied shoes. 'Aw man, and this was only my second time wearing them...' I whined in my head. I sighed.
"Well, since it isn't against the rules, I'll go." I said hooking my left arm with his right arm and walking forwards. "Yay!" he cheered walking fastly so that he was back to dragging me. Once we got to the front of the lane, Splendy showed his wrist to the man and I imitated what Splendy did, hoping it was the correct thing to do. The man nodded and opened the small gate to let us in.
I sat down in one of the swings. I saw a bar hanging to my left side with a hook on it. To my right was a metal ring with a hole in the middle. I looked back and forth between the two, not knowing what to do. I felt a shadow come above me blocking out any sunlight. I shivered a little due to the instant lack of warmth. I heard a clink.
The bar with the hook had the hook latched onto the metal ring, securing me to the seat so I couldn't get out. I looked up a little further to see Splendy has fastened me into the seat. His hand brushed my stomach as he did this. I blushed and looked at my lap.
"Th-thank you." I squeaked. "You're welcome." he said walking away from my seat to go to the seat right behind mine and fasten himself in. A man walked around in a circle checking to see if everyone was secured. He grabbed the bar in front of me firmly to make sure it was placed correctly. I flinched back. He looked me in the eyes coldly and grunted.
I glared at him with killing intent. His eyes widened and he backed away slowly to move onto Splendy. I turned my head to my left side so I could see if he did the same with him. The man looked at Splendy like he just walked into a room of barfing people. Splendy also glared at him along with a slight growl. The man backed away from Splendy, also muttering something as he walked away.
The ride started up with us slowly going around. My feet just barely touched the ground. The ride slowly picked up speed. As it picked up speed we went higher into the air. I felt something yank on one of the chains of my swing. I snapped my head back to see who did it.
Splendy pulled my swing closer to him. Splendy gave an innocent smile. I smiled back and turned my head back around. I let the air blow through my hair.
I stuck my right arm out feeling the air blow against my hand. I wriggled my fingers. "Are you enjoying the ride so far?" Splendy chuckled. I lightly laughed along with him. "Very." I answered breathing in a big breath of fresh air and letting it out.
The ride ended and I managed to get myself out after a few moments of struggling. Splendy and I walked out of the exit and continued to ride all the rides we could until it was dark out and you could see the moon shining brightly and the stars sparkling. I got to taste many different things I've never had before, like Cotton Candy and Chicken Strips. Even though the chicken was a bit greasy it still tasted great. The most terrifying thing for me would have to be that big ride that shot you up and dropped you back down repeatedly.
We were both sitting at a picnic table placed by the food trucks. Splendy ate his whole bag of Cotton Candy while I only finished half, due to the large amount of food I ate. I felt like a gained 20 pounds after all that I ate. Splendy got up and threw away the empty bag which was once filled to the brim with Cotton Candy. He sat back down in front of me.
"It's getting dark, we should get back soon." I said yawning. "But we have one more ride to go on." he pouted. "There's still more?!" I said surprised. "Yeah." he said pointing to a round ride going in circles with bright lights all over it. The ride was labeled Ferris Wheel.
It seemed to be going at a slow pace. "Do you want to go on it?" he asked me. "Sure, what's one more ride gonna do." I replied tiredly. He got up from the table and grabbed a few stuffed animals from the pile of prizes that he won for me. I took a couple more stuffed animals into my right arm and grabbed a few other things that I put into a bag so I wouldn't have to carry it all. I picked up my bag of Cotton Candy with my left hand and stood up from the table.
"Ready?" he asked. "Ready as I'll ever be." I answered. We walked over to what would be our final ride for the day. We showed the person at the front our wristbands and, as usual, they let us through. Another person ushered us into our seats. We sat down our stuff on one seat and us on the opposite side. Once everyone was in it started to move.
The Ferris Wheel continued to move around until it stopped. It stopped at the absolute perfect spot. Right at the very top. I leaned my head against Splendy's shoulder and looked out at the forest. Splendy looked over at me and pushed some of my hair behind my ear to reveal my whole face. I looked up at him.
The moon shone at the perfect angle to show his handsome appearance. He cupped my cheek with his hand. I looked him straight in the eyes. He closed his eyes and leaned in. I've seen enough movies to know where this is going, yet, I didn't pull back or push him away, instead, I did the same. Our faces moved closer and closer together. I could fell his breath tickling my lips.
"OW!" Splendy yelped. Splendy's forehead crashed against mine. "Ow..." I hissed putting my hands over my forehead. My eyes shut together in pain. "(Y/N), are you okay?!" Splendy panicked. "Yeah I'm fine, just my head hurts, by the way, what happened?" I asked him.
"Something hit me in the back of the head." he answered looking around for the object. I glanced at the floor. "Is that it?" I asked pointing at an object, still with one hand over my forehead. There was a decent sized rock on the floor.
"Must have been." Splendy said rubbing the back of his head gently. The ride started to move again and I could see people being taken out of their seats. I grabbed my things from the opposite side and Splendy followed me. When we got to the bottom, we got out and exited the carnival grounds.
We walked through the forest back to Slender Mansion. I let out a big yawn and stretched my arms out towards the sky. My eyes were half-lidded and droopy. I probably had dark circles under my eyes.
"Someone sounds tired." Splendy said. "Yeah..." I whispered. "Did you enjoy going to your first carnival?" he asked. "Yeah..." I mumbled. "Do you want me to carry your things?" he asked. "Yeah..." I murmured. I was too tired to come up with more than one word and my brain felt fried.
Splendy took the prizes out of my arms. I grabbed onto Splendy's arm to keep myself from falling down. Both of us kept on walking until we got to the mansion. Splendy opened the doors quietly trying not to wake anyone up.
"I'll help you up to your room." Splendy said supporting me up the stairs. He opened the door to my Clockwork and I's room with a faint creak. I walked into the room.
He came in and set my prizes down on the floor. "Thank you..." I said barely audible. "Welcome." he replied walking out of the room. "Goodnight, (Y/N)." he whispered. "Night..." I whispered back. I flopped onto the bed and instantly fell asleep.
Splendy P.O.V
(Y/N) fell onto the bed and laid still. I walked over to the door and grabbed the doorknob to close it. Before I completely closed the door, I looked back at (Y/N). "I love you." I whispered and then shut the door to go to my room.
In LJ and Jeff's room...
"Did the mission succeed?" Jeff asked. "Yes, I stopped it just in the nick of time." LJ answered. "Yes!" BEN cheered. "Quiet down you idiot, someone could hear us!" Jeff scolded the elf. "You're the idiot!" BEN retorted. "Why you-" Jeff pulled out his knife.
"Calm down. All that matters is that Splendy didn't kiss (Y/N)." Bloody Painter said pushing each of them away from each other. "Did they see you throw the rock?" EJ asked LJ. "If they did, then Splendy would probably be hunting me down, ready to tear me apart." LJ responded. "Now it's every man for themselves." Toby said. Everyone nodded in agreement. Everybody went to their respected rooms to sleep.
