Never Let Go

Chapter One

"OH MY GOD!"

Even as the ride slowed down, I was still in a panic. My hands were firmly grasped the metal bar as I was repeatedly turned upside down. 

"God, Michelle, calm down. It's almost over." Danielle told me.

I let out a sigh of relief as the ride finally came to a stop and the man who worked at there let me out. My legs felt like jelly as I walked down the steps and I was surprised I didn't trip and fall flat on my face.

"Bye Michelle! Meet you back at the hotel, okay?" Danielle said.

"Alright! Bye Dani!" I shouted as she walked away.

"This is- aha- so going on facebook!" Naminna said as she stared down at the phone in her hands, trying her best to hold in her laughter.

I took a peek from over her shoulder and saw the ride- the dang hammer ride- and heard me screaming at the top of my lungs. And my friends laughing.

"YOU VIDEO TAPED THAT?!" I shouted in disbelief.

"Yeah, it was just too funny!" Naminna said.

I snatched the phone out of her hands and ran with it.

"Wha- Michelle, give it back!" I heard her shout from behind me.

It was all just too crazy, and I was surprised to hear myself laughing at the situation. 

"Michelle!" I heard her and Isabel shout. I turned around to tease her, only to find myself being tackled. The phone flew out of my hands as I slammed on to the ground.

"Where is it?!" Naminna said frantically.

"I- I don't know. It flew out of my hands."

"What do you mean it 'flew out of your hands?!'"

I pushed her off of me so I could get up.

"Well, you kinda pushed me. What did you think was going to happen?" I said.

"Well help me find it! I just got it!" she said.

Naminna, Isabel and I began searching the ground for the phone. After about five minutes, we gave up.

"Where else could it be?" she asked.

I looked around, then saw one of the 'game' tents near by.

"What if it went in there?" I asked, pointing to the tent.

Naminna groaned.

"Really?"

"Well, we'll never know unless we try, right?" I said.

She nodded and, reluctantly, walked in. 

I followed her through the purple curtains and was immediately met with the pungent smell of various flowers. There was book case full of strange things and, well, books to the left of the enterance and dozens of candles to the right. In front of us, there was a pair of chairs on either side of a table with a purple table cloth in it.

"Welcome!"

I jumped, having not noticed the lady in the green gypsy outfit standing just behind the table.

"I've been expecting you!" she said.

We were all too stunned to speak.

"Well, who's first?"

"A-actually, we're just here because I lost my-"

Naminna stopped as the lady scowled at her.

"Isabel can go first!" she said hurriedly.
