Chapter 2 - The cost

I thought should I take the offer I this is maybe my only chance then I decided and said "Yes I will take your deal" "great" he said "lets get to work" "so I can make your carnival in two weeks" "Two weeks! how?!" I asked "its simple you tell me were you want your carnival and I'll work my magic" he replied "ok then I want my carnival in a open area near the town" ok then I know a short cut" he said he snapped his fingers and we were where I said I wanted to be. "Whoa how did you do that?" I asked "Magic" he answered "and can you please keep this a secret between us" he asked "sure" I said, then he asked "What name do you want your carnival to have?"

I thought for a minute and I said "the carnival of wonders" "great name" he said "and how big do you want it to be" he asked "Somewhere in the middle" I said "ok" then he snapped his fingers again then the carnival appeared with a sign that said Carnival of wonders. two weeks have pasted I got the circus, Ferris wheel,carousel,snack stands The main attraction will be the circus and the rides will give more entertanment I'll be mostly at the circus running the show at the carnival. The carnival will open tomorrow I was excited then the figure came over and asked "are you satisfied" I answered "yes" "ok then time for your payment" "Oh yeah right whats the price?" "Five hundred souls" "wait how do you collect souls?" "Its simple you just need to kill people and put their soul in a object then when you collect all the souls I asked for I"ll collect them and your debt will be payed." "I refuse I won't kill anybody no matter what" "Ok then I"ll come back if you change your mind" huh I thought he'll put up more of a fight I guess everything fine anyways it's been a long day I should get some rest I walked back home and got In my nightwear I laid down and shut my eyes and when to sleep.

Then I saw people running around the carnival getting on rides, going in the circus and buying food then the Ferris wheel broke down the Ferris wheel became unstable it started falling People screaming everything falling apart I panicked I didn't know what to do then I saw two little kids one a boy the other a girl. The girl was wearing a blue frilly dress the boy was wearing suspenders over his white shirt,and they sung "Your Carnival will fall down, will fall down, will fall down and your carnival will burn to ashes, burn to ashes, burn to ashes, burn to ashes, your carnival will burn to ashes and no one will come out". Then I woke up thank goodness it was just a nightmare I looked out the window it was still dark I should go back to sleep tomorrow is a big day I should go back to sleep.
