When they arrived, they were greeted by people who were dressed as scarecrows. They each gave them a wristband.

"What are these for? " Eden asked as they put them on.

"They are so we can count how many people arrived and if you can go onto the roller coaster. " A lady said as she put the wristband on Eden.

Eden nodded in understanding as they all went inside. They saw a corn maze that was nearby.

"Let's go in the maze first!" Vallee said as she got Eden's hand and pulled them along

"Let's go in the maze first!" Vallee said as she got Eden's hand and pulled them along.

Crazin watched and got slightly irritated at how fast Vallee took Eden away. He decided to stay behind as he went around the carnival and ate some caramel apples. As it was slowly getting dark.

Meanwhile, Vallee was getting jumped-scared at every corner. And clung onto Eden as if her life depended on it. While Eden got bored as they continued to walk. They'd seen scarier.

"hi, you big lad! Having a good time?" A scare actor said in an unnerving voice to Eden. Vallee jumped and ran out of the maze.

Eden simply nodded. And caught up with Vallee. Eden then went up to Crazin.

"what's that?" Eden asked as Crazin was eating a caramel apple.

"caramel apple." Crazin offered he said in a muffled voice as he stretched out his arm and chewed.

Eden got it a took a big bite.

"holy shit. This is one of the best things ice ever had. Where-? Where did you get it? I want some now. Oh fuck it's so sweet!" Eden asked as they looked around everywhere.

"Just have it. It's the last one anyway." Crazin sighed as the trio went in line for the rollercoaster.

Crazin noticed a game where you have to pop balloons to win a stuffed toy depending on how many gallons you popped.

"hold my space. I'll be back." Crazin said to Vallee. Who nodded as they talked with Eden.

"Hey, big fella. Here to win something for a special someone?" The Carnie asked in a very thick Boston accent.

Crazin shrugged. As he got the darts and began to pop balloons one by one.

"15! Alright, I see ya bud, which one?" the Carnie asked as she showed him a huge stuffed bear, a medium dragon, and a couple of small plushies to get.

"Those two," Crazin said as he pointed to the dragon and one of the smaller plushies.

"Those two," Crazin said as he pointed to the dragon and one of the smaller plushies

"All right!" the carnie said as she handed them to Crazin.

Crazin handed the smaller plush to Vallee and the dragon to Eden.

After a while of waiting they finally got to the front. As they start to hop in Eden here's a name that sounds familiar.

Fabian.

Eden turns around so fast that it even startled Crazin and Vallee.

Their eyes widen as they try to get out of the ride.

Click. The roller coaster started.

"oh shit. I- I need to get off! Please! Oh fuck. " Eden said as they struggled to get out of their seat.

"don't worry it's okay! I know roller coasters are scary, but you'll be fine." Vallee assured Eden as she patted their shoulder.

"No. You don't. Understand. I-" Eden began until they were cut off by the rollercoaster as they went to the first drop and the second.

Eden began to breathe and tremble uncontrollably. Holding onto Crazin and Vallee for dear life. They gripped onto both of them until they both almost bled.

Once it finished they were the first out as they ran out of the carnival entirely.

"what do you think happened?" Crazin asked as he looked around.

"probably got sick from the rollercoaster. Let's go find them." Vallee said as he ran after them.

"hey wait up you idiot!" Crazin yelled out.

Once they both caught up with Eden. They could see that Eden was struggling to breathe properly.

Vallee's eyes widened

Vallee's eyes widened. They knew what was happening. Eden was having a panic attack. Vallee knew what to do considering how many children she worked with at birthdays who had social anxiety.

"uh. Crazin help me get Eden to a quiet place." Vallee ordered.

Hesitant Crazin lifted Eden and began to carry Eden to a quieter place.

"Are you okay? Need water? what calls you down? Did something happen? Was it the rollercoaster? Need anything?" Vallee asked. As they held Eden's hand.

Eden began to calm down slightly.

"I'm fine. Oh fuck. I'm going insane. Aren't I? That damn void. Why did they put me there? Fuck man." Eden said as they began to breathe properly.

"You're ok. your safe now. Please Eden. Tell me what happened. Did you get scared from the rollercoaster?' Vallee asked as Eden shook their head.

Eden took a deep breath. Before the spoke again.

"no. I just. I saw my dad."
