Red Rose Nightmare (Phantom Of The Opera) (Temp Hiatus)

The Hall Of Mirrors

Hey everyone! I have to admit it, but this is the quickest update I have ever done with any of my stories. I believe it's because I am on Spring/Easter Break right now, so I am on a relaxing break for a few more days. Then I have to go back to my teaching job and my updates will be slow again for my Phantom of the Opera and Merlin stories.

I want to thank everyone who favorited, followed, and reviewed my story. It really means the world to me. I want to thank especially OtherCharacterNut again for not only proofreading this chapter for me, but for being a really loyal reader for the past couple of years. I cannot thank you enough.

On other news, tomorrow is the opening night of the musical I am part of. The cast and crew have been working really hard for the past couple of months. I am excited and nervous at the same time. Again, updates will be slow for both stories, so please be patient. Anyways, please don't forget to favorite, follow, and review. Now please enjoy the next chapter of "Red Rose Nightmare!"

I do not own anything except for my OC Brie.

"I want to ride the roller coaster, walk through the haunted house, ride the Ferris Wheel, and eat a lot of funnel cake!" Ryan paused for a moment and then asked his mom, "Can we eat the funnel cake first?"

Currently, both families, all seven of us, were in a taxi driving to Coney Island. I looked up from reading my emails to see Amber laying her head on the window, rolling her eyes. Ever since we left the hotel, Ryan had reached a new level of hyper and seemed to be bursting all the way to the roof. I silently laughed as I looked back down to my cell.

"Ryan, you just ate breakfast at the hotel a half hour ago," his mom answered.

Ryan shirked into his seat as he mumbled, "Yeah, but everyone at school said I should eat the funnel cake first, because it's to die for. I don't want to go back to school and say I didn't eat the funnel cake."

"You know if you eat first and then go on the rides, you'll get so sick that we'll have to take you to the hospital and you'll never ride any of them again," Amber murmured as she slowly closed her eyes.

Ryan looked behind to glare at his older sister. He tried to hide it under his Mets baseball hat that his dad bought him yesterday, but he wasn't doing a good job of it. "At least I'm not afraid of riding a little baby coaster like someone I know," he retorted.

Amber's eyes snapped open and stared him down. Ryan's eyes popped with fear and instantly covered his mouth with his hand. "What did you say you little monster?"

"Nothing," Ryan answered immediately.

"All right you two, that's enough. Now we are here for a family vacation and I do not need you two to fight every single minute. If I hear one more argument, then I will send this taxi back to the hotel and we can forget about Coney Island and Broadway tonight. Do I make myself clear?" commanded their dad.

Amber and Ryan looked down in shame as they said in unison, "Yes sir."

I silently laughed and shook my head. I felt like Ryan and Amber should have their own TV show. After a 45-minute drive, we finally arrived at Coney Island. Ryan bolted out of the car like a rocket and he would have flown to the park gate, but his dad caught the collar of his shirt. I placed my cell in my purse and I got out of the taxi with a smile. I was wearing a cute Tardis blue Doctor Who shirt and black pants.

I gasped at the pull of my arm and suddenly forced to run to the gate. "Let's go! I want to go on the biggest roller coaster they have," screamed Ryan as he looked back at me from his tight grip.

I had to admit it, but going to Coney Island was fun. The place was huge, bigger than any fair I had been to. There was so much to do it was hard to choose what rides and activities to do for the six hours we had. We started off with riding what seemed like half the roller coasters, but without Amber. It was tough leaving her behind, but the speed and erratic movements made her too sick to endure them. I made up for the time lost by sharing a seat with her on the Ferris Wheel, taking probably too many selfies at the petting zoo, shared so much delicious food, and just walking around all the beautifully flashing lights of the fair.
