||Chapter 89: The Opening Fair||

Crowface was taking another late walk, he liked the cold and the foggy; Certainly at this time of the year, as it got darker quickly and there was even some foggy.
Makes them feel more mysterious.
Though he found Nicky again; Sleepwalking.
He circled around the boy, curious; He was staying with The Petersons until further notice so the fact even subconscious him could get out of the house without waking anyone was impressive.
He was curious and fascinated with the child.
Footsteps.
They growled, not loud but enough as a warning and not to wake the sleepwalking child.
"Don't worry, don't worry."
Gordon stepped out, holding his hands up to show he had no weapons.
"I won't harm the child. . ."
Gordon knelt down to get a better look at him,"Hmm. . . Pretty tired looking. . .", Crowface remained quiet, standing behind Nicky, itching to put his hands on his shoulders just case but, he had to resist.
Gordon slowly stood up,"Right. . . Tomorrow is the day; No sign of Norman? He doesn't seem to be home. . .", Crowface shook his head,"No Sir.", Gordon nods, and walked into the darkness of the woods.
Crowface huffed, guided him back to The Peterson Household.

"I might have sleptwalked out of the house. . . My socks are soaked."
Aaron and Mr Peterson were so confused,"Seriously, we should study how you do this in your sleep??", Nicky shrugged,"Sounds interesting, but I took Trinity's advice.", Aaron titled his head, Nicky digging through his bag and pulled out a packet.
"Trinity suggested a while ago, especially as it was getting colder, to get socks like these; Sockings; They're really comfortable and warm."
Aaron gave a thumbs, Mr Peterson put out breakfast for everyone,"Well, you're all gonna need to keep warm and get your strength as today is the Fair.", Aaron and Nicky were excited for the games and attractions, Aaron was also planning to look around and get a Golden Apple for Nicky to try.

Upon arriving, the Mayor would give a speech before the gates would be opened.
He tapped the mic and got everyone's attention.
"I want to welcome everyone, and thank the many people that helped make this possible."
As The Mayor went on, Jay was. . . Nervous, a pit in his stomach.
Luanne glanced at her husband, she offered her hand to him, gave it a reassuring squeeze, Jay smiles and nods.
"And, Keith and many officers will be on site if anything goes wrong, you may go to them if anything is wrong or you feel unsafe."
Nicky looked around, spotting The Petersons and Aaron noticed him and waved, Nicky waved back.
"I hope you all have fun on the rides, games and enjoy the food; Please enjoy yourselves."
And the gates opened.

Mya was jumping with excitement, her dad knelt down,"Remember; Stick with your brother, Nicky and Lucy, be careful and if you see anything.", Mya nods, turning to Lucy's mom, Brenda, who looked stressed,"Don't worry; We're gonna protect Lucy like her guards!", Mr Peterson nods, and so Mya caught up with them.
Brenda smiled,"Again; Your children are amazing.", Mr Peterson nods,"Yeah. . . Uhm, Brenda; I hate to ask this but have you seen Norman or Ike, they were supposed to be here. . .?", Brenda looked around, noticing they weren't here.
"I'm not sure. . . Maybe ask Keith, they have been helping him."
Mr Peterson nods, trying to not feel tense or paranoid but those voices in his head were a little loud.

Norman groaned.
His head hurt, he felt. . . Cold, stiff. . . Couldn't move anything.
Opened his eyes-
High. Oh my God.
Then it came back to him; The Catacombs, The Cultist: He was tied and gagged up on of the Ferries Wheel.
He couldn't move, but he did feel the ropes and felt. . . His chest tightened, he looked down anxiously.
He wasn't in a dark place, but he felt trapped again.

Gordon watched from the shadows, smiling as people began to go on the rides, play games and get food.
Perfect.
