"The carousel was so fun." I said. "I agree." replied Vanessa. "You and Emily are the best sisters in the whole world." I said. "Thank you." she replied with a smile on her face.

"I can't believe that you soon will be eight." said papa. "I'll always be your baby girl." I replied. The show starts soon." said Adam. Emily was holding my hand and we followed daddy to the circus tent.
"I'm afraid of c-clowns." said Emily scared. "I'll protect you." I whispered. "Thank you." she said. The show began and everything was so magical. A ballerina threw up a blue teddy bear that I caught. But then my eyelids became heavy and I fell asleep on the bench. I never noticed when daddy and papa went out with my sisters.

I woke up after an hour and it was dark outside. "Daddy, papa?" I called, but got answer. "Where are you?" I called again. "Emily, Vanessa." I said and tears was running down my cheeks.
"Have you lost your family, Aurora?" asked a man. "They'd never leave me." I sobbed. "I'm sure they will come back." he said. I've cotten candy and popcorn." he said. "I can't receive things from people I don't know." I replied.
But I'm Jack, Laughing Jack, now we aren't strangers, are we?" he asked. He danced around and I laughed. He looked seriously at me and I swallowed nervously. I should going now." I said. "Without your teddy bear?" asked Jack. I stretched out my arm and he smirked. "Take it." he said with a creepy voice.
I had almost taken my teddy bear when he grabbed my arm. His mouth was filled with razor sharp teeth. Then I saw a man without a face walking into the circus. He had very long arms. He saved me from Jack. He took me back to my family. "Thank you for saving my life." I said and he nodded his head.
