It had been about 3 years now, Robin was 12 now and his sister Sharon was 10. The attacks of the so called bogeyman had been on the television. Lucille had tried not to let her children view it. Knowing fully that the image would send Robin into a full blown panic attack.

Ron had plans to take his children out to a funland . The area was good for young kids who had too much energy. The trio had jumped in the car and sped off to Wonderland. Sharon still spoke to her imaginary friend , she was rather skeptic that he'd only appear to her at night, but not during the day.

"What do you and him speak about?"

Robin asked curiously . Sharon went on to talk about their conversation last night, the things said had chilled Robin to his core. He still didn't want to believe that the same killer was back and stalking him and his new family.

"He just tells me that he's gonna take me and you to a fun place, where nothing bad happens and where grown ups don't exist. But I find it funny, cause he's a grown up, so now can they not exist. If he's there too."

The young girl was too young to know the danger that she was in, to her the large shape was only a figment of her imagination. Robin was starting to piece things together. But he decided not to scare her with his view of it, no today was about having fun and being a child.

Ron arrived at the place and gave the children 7 tokens each for a ride to go on, he explained that once they were out of the tokens, it was time to return back to the car and go home. Robin was over the moon to have so much tokens for the rides, he and Sharon looked about and spotted the Ferris wheel, mad hatters maze and alices cottage.

"I wanna go to the cottage first. It's got a map of the amusement park , so if we ever get lost from one another, then we meet at the cottage map. Alright? And don't think of that mean man. Today is all about us two having fun, I even told my friend to behave and not upset you!"

The girl giggled lightly as she took him by the hand and looks at all the rides. Robin felt genuine happiness right now, for once nothing bad was happening and he could be with his best friend in peace. Many would think it odd for a foster sister to be a boys best friend, but he and Sharon had a strong bond.

Both children stopped at the cottage doors and pushed through . Candy canes and rabbits were abundant . Sharon ran after one of the bunnies and Robin couldn't help but chuckle at it . His sister could be so adorable at times. Even when she never tried.

Robin picked up a brown rabbit and handed it to her, she squealed in awe as the furry fluff ball squirmed in her hold. The boy felt a slight pity for the small creature in his sisters hold as she pet it over and over.

"Okay, think we should let bun bun go and then see what else there is, I'm sure he needs to get to his mother."

Reasoned the young boy as he watched his sister release the little brown fluff ball and it scampered off to it's den. Sharon waved goodbye to it and took her brothers hand once more. A man came up to them wearing a scarecrow out fit, he lead them to a boat and held his hand out for a token. Both Robin and Sharon gave up one token each and seated themselves in the boat.

The attendant ran through the rules of the ride, no sticking fingers in the water, no petting the wildlife that approached . Don't interact with the actors and enjoy the wonderland express. Sharon hugged into her brother and giggles as the man pushes them off the ramp. They whooshed down a waterfall and splashed into the water.

"I feel just like Alice!"

Sharon stated as she peered over at the birds flying their ways and then to the men having a tea party. Robin was just overly relaxed , this day out was all he'd needed to stray from the terrors that the night brought him. The boat came to a halt in the middle of the water, both children sat there feeling confused as hell . Maybe this was part of the ride, it was when all the lights had blew , that Robin knew something was extremly wrong here.

Over the monogram came a distorted voice. Screams of children from inside the cottage could be heard. Sharon started to cry and clung to her brother. Robin was scared too, he tried to listen over the screams of the trapped children.

"The small Alice fell down the rabbit hole, there she'd fell and cracked her skull, little Alice bled and bled, now that stupid little whore is DEAD"

The voice cut out and then was replaced by the sound of loud screaming , all the children wept . Robin was crying , crying because this person kept targeting him...he didn't know why, was it because he survived...no, that man was strong enough to rip that little door off. He WANTED him to live. He didn't know why, but he wanted him to live and to get tormented by him... Like a sick game. Well , he wouldn't let his sister be hurt.

"Sharon, listen... I'm going to get out the boat, and then... We're going to get out. Okay?"

Robin stayed as calm as he could to avoid upsetting his sister even more. The little girl climbed on her brothers back and tucked her face into his shoulder blade. He looked around for any sign of danger, it was then that he'd looked to the other side of the river and spotted the head of a child rolling down the hill. Sharon looked and screamed at the top of her lungs.

"Shhhh shhhh! He's gonna hear us!"

Hissed Robin as he manoeuvred his way in the darkness, the sound of sirens could be heard from the other end. The voice over came back again, it sounded hazy, like the person was on the move or something.

"Two blind birds, see how they fly, right to the hunters trap . Now the birds will die. Come out, little birdies"

The sound of gunshots were set ablaze and Robin ran with his sister on his back, he watched as many children fell down dead. He'd just reached the end when his left leg was over come with pain, he tripped and Sharon flew forward. She looked back but Robin screamed.

"RUN! SHARON RUN!"

The little girl ran screaming to the entrance , her father grabbed her and demanded to know what had just happened, the child was so shook up that she could just shake and cry. Ron didn't know what to do , one child was here and the other was trapped inside.

Never in his life.

Had he felt so useless.
