A sweet dream, or a living nightmare

Some storys have a beginning, and end. The only problem with mine is I didn't know where the nightmare, began or ended. What was real, and what was made up from some book. It all started on a rainy Monday, after school. It wasn't as if mondays could get, any worse, but here it is raining. Pouring rain to be specific. Frowning somewhat I halfway smiled and said good bye to my friends. "Sarah.." someone yelled, "Wait up!!' I stopped turning to see Hayley. She skidded to a stop a few feet in front of me catching her breath. When she wasn't breathing as hard she smiled then, a rain drop landed on her face and a few more. "I HATE RAIN!!!" she screamed at the sky, as if to command it to stop. And to answer her request, it started to rain harder. Go figure, right?

I laughed looking at her as she tucked her blond hair into the hood of her soaked green jacket. She huffed, then sighed. When she saw I had already walked ahead, making her have to jog to catch up. Rounding a corner I stumbled colliding, with someone. "Are you ok?" Hayley asked worridly, looking from me to the stranger. "Yeah, I'm fine. Maybe a few broken bones." I joked standing too apologize. "i'm sorry, did I hurt you?" I asked, the man turned around revealing his face. He smiled somewhat, causeing the long scar on the side of his face to twitch. "Yes, I am perfectly fine." He continued to smile as he appeared to size me up. I looked over to Hayley, for back up but she just shrugged her shoulders. Turning back to face the man, I see some flyers littering the ground, "Oh, let me help you." The man waved a hand, shooing me but I helped him anyway."Here." I said handing him the flyers I had collected. He tipped his red top hat, well I must be color blind. Every piece of clothing he had on was, red the only exception was his black trousers and boots. "Here, take one." He proceeded, to hand me a flyer. Preferably one that was't wet, taking it I read: Cirque Du Freak one night and one night only. Starring: The wolfman, Truska the bearded lady, Evra Von the snake boy, Larten Crepsley and his amazing spider- Madame Octa!!!! And many more. And at the bottom, read the address, but near the corner in smaller print was a warning: prepair for the fright of your life.

Hayley eagerly snatched the flyer from, my hand reading away. I glanced back over to the Orange haired man, he shifted his weight from foot to foot. "May I inquirie your name miss?" I nodded smiling, "Sarah Shan." I stated nodding my head. He was silent as the rain slacked to a drizzle, "And your name?" I asked, eyeing him. He smiled again, but this smile was different in a way I couldn't explain, "My name is Larten Crepsley." He tipped his hat again, as I turned to introduce my friend. "And this is hay-..." I stopped mid sentence, seeing he had dispersed. Where did he go?? "What did he say his name was?" Hayley asked scanning the flyer intently. "Ummm, Larten Crepsley. Why?" She didn't speak, only raise a finger and tap a certain part of the parchment. Moving to stand beside her, I read aloud the words she pointed out. "Larten Crepsley....."
