I walked slowly towards the circus tent,hidden by the ivy and trees growing very close to it almost swallowing the tent in horrifying darkness.I knew that the huge clown head would just swallow me up whole again,but I couldn't turn away.I had no control of my body,but I kept screaming at myself inside my head to turn away.The black,shadowy-looking dog kept looking back at me,making sure I was still following him.
I pushed the curtains of the circus tent out of my way and walked deeper into the darkness of the themed house,following the dog towards the middle of the tent;the slow,creepy,out of tune music box getting louder and louder each step I took,toward the center.
The dog like creature,like it always did,turned to me and sat down on the other side of the ring,and stared me down.I walked a little ways more and stood there waiting for my death,that the huge clown head would bring upon me once again.My eyes slowly closed and I waited.Nothing but darkness was all I could see and all I could hear was the broken melody slowly fading away while the screams and laughing of the people that once use to come to this ghost town.
I screamed at myself to open up my eyes."Open your eyes,please,just run while you can.Get away now,please!"I heard faint laughter and I desperately tried to move out of the way.My eyes slowly opened and I saw the clown head turn a corner around the rusty bleachers and came flying at me,extremely fast.
I stood terrified and helpless.I knew my fate and I tried to move.It actually worked!I had control over my body again.I turned around and ran as fast as I could,the clown at my heels.
I almost made it to the opening of the tent when I heard barking.I quickly turned around and saw the dog running with me.He saw me look at him and he smiled and long sharp shark-like teeth with dried blood were visible.
It spun around and ran towards the clown head,its teeth digging in to the monsters eye.The clown stopped laughing demonically and screamed in agony.I ran out of the tent the cold breeze rushing at my face trying to push me back in towards the clown.I pushed forward and ran towards the gate.Happily thinking about how I would finally escape this horrid world I was stuck in.
I heard the dog bark and I turned around just as I made it to the gate.It walked up to me and licked my face.I had actually paid attention to how big the dog was.Compared to me it was a giant.It stepped back and smiled at me with a toothy grin.
"Hello master."It whispered with the wind."Wait did you just talk to me?"I asked in confusion."Yes."The dog mumbled."Now listen up,I have an important message for you.You will be going to a school all the way in California,and I think you already know that,but the school is not what you think it is,it is a very misunderstood place,but do not be scared,I will be sending with you one of the great guardians.You can name him anything you want to name him,but you must understand,don't trust anyone their,except for the very powerful beings that will help you through the madness that lays within the entrance of the school.Now their isn't a lot of more time and I must be going."It said then it bounded off towards the very rusted rollercoaster towards the horizon.
"Wait!"I yelled.The dog stopped and turned around."What is your name!"I yelled to him.He stopped and looked at me "Nightmare."
*Slam* I shot up out of my slumber and stared at my foster dad,his arms crossed against his chest and a frown plastered upon his face."Get.Up.Now."He hissed and than turned around and stomped down the stairs angrily.
I groaned and swung my feet around and on to the ground.I felt something crunch under my foot,I lifted it up and looked at my now broken alarm clock.I slowly picked it up and looked at the time.The little dots flashing and the time went from 6:34 to 6:35.I didn't think anything of it and put it back on my nightstand.
I stood up and walked groggily to the bathroom.I quickly got my shower and stepped out,the cold air hit my body.I wanted to jump back into the shower,but I forced my self to dry off and put on some of my decent clothes so I didn't look like a slob and didn't give off the wrong idea of me.
I brushed my teeth with the tiniest bit of cinnamon toothpaste left in the bottle,and washed out my mouth with the soft mint mouthwash.I grabbed my wolf slippers off the bathroom floor and walked out back into my room.
Something in my gut started to get the tingly feeling I always got when someone was staring at me.I put my slippers down next to my dresser and turned around.The little stuffed animal I had gotten from Mrs.Junip was on my dresser sitting next to my alarm clock.The time was now 6:59.
I walked towards it and looked at the clock the time was no longer on it.I looked down and saw the cord lying ripped in half on the ground next to me bed.I bent down and picked it up.The cord looked like someone had cut it in half,not with scissors but with sharp teeth.I stuffed it in the little drawer in the night stand and looked back up at the sad stuffed animal.
Its eyes lacked the color it originally had but you could still see the slightest bit of color,its body was grayish and the thread keeping it together was slowly untangling itself,the arms and legs were dangling from its tiny body and its right arm was partially ripped.
I felt bad for it so I grabbed thread and a needle from my craft drawer in my dresser plus a purple sharpie.I ran back over to it and quickly stitched the arm back together,and wrote in tiny purple letters on the tag,(over the old originally words)Endy.
I put the thread,needle,and sharpie back in its place in the dresser.My foster dad didn't allow me to be creative,he pretty much didn't allow me to do anything at all,so whenever I could get out of the house I would usually buy craft items and hide it somewhere in my room where he wouldn't even think to look for it.
I walked downstairs and grabbed cereal out of the cabinet,milk out of the fridge,and grabbed a spoon out of one of the drawers.I sat down and pored out honey nut cheerios into the bowl,then pored in the low fat milk over top of it.
I almost chocked on my cereal when Killer came bounding inside.He jumped up on top of me and almost knocked me out of my chair.
"Killer!"I laughed while he licked me face.His rainbow charm on his spiked collar jingled when ever his body shook with joy.
Killer jumped up on my lap even though he was a full sized husky and he definitely wasn't a lap-dog,and started to eat my cereal."Oh sure,Killer,like I'm not hungry too,besides you got your own food in your own dog bowl."
Killer barked in reply then went back to drinking the milk out of the bowl.I shooed him away from the cereal.He whimpered than jumped off my lap back on to the ground.
My foster dad walked into the room and started to fix his own bowl of cereal.He sighed loudly and put his head I his hands.His cereal started to turn soggy.
"What's wrong?"I asked with a mouth full of Cheerios."Lainy......"He mumbled."What's wrong with her."I asked wiping milk of my upper lip."She,well,she is just being,I don't know,she just isn't spending time with me anymore,she's always out with her girlfriends,"He sighed again,"I'm fine though,thanks for getting that off my shoulders."he said to me a smile now on his face.He grabbed his cereal and made his way to his room.He stopped and put a hand on my shoulder,he removed his hand and kept on walking.
I washed my bowl and put it in drying rack.Killer then came rushing back into the room and jumped up and put his front paws on my shoulder."Good boy."I mumbled while petting his head.He jumped down and bounded over to the back door,than scratched at it,looking over his shoulder at me giving a little whimper,then he grabbed the leash in his mouth and sat quietly waiting for me to take him outside.
I laughed and took my pills and put the container back in the cupboard.
I walked over to the back door and grabbed my hoodie off the hook,slowly putting it on while Killer waited at the door with the leash in his mouth.I grabbed my Vision Squad beanie off of the coat hanger and put it on my head,while taking the leash out of his mouth,and put it on his collar.
As soon as I opened the back door.He ran like flash and I almost fell on my face on the ice on the stairs.He barked and chased a rabbit that was eating grass that's wasn't covered by snow.The rabbit jumped and ran as fast as it probably ever ran.
I pulled Killer back and he barked and came running back towards me."No."I said while tapping his nose.He barked and rubbed against my leg.I started walking into the woods,Killer right behind me.
The forest was quiet and the birds sung sad sorrowful songs,the deers skipping away from Killer and I away into the bushes.Killer growled and stayed right next to me,the fur on his neck stood up,whenever the leaves and bushes would sway in the frosty winds.
We made it to the other side of the forest,the road speckled with little clumps of snow here and there,cars every so often passed on the road.
I smiled and looked down at Killer his eyes transfixed on me,he stuck out his tongue and his tail wagged happily.
We made our way back through the woods,Killer jumping around happily chasing imaginary butterflies.I giggled and climbed up on top of Killer's dog house and sat staring at the full sun coming up over the mountains.Killer jumped up and sat next to me his muzzle on my shoulder.
* * *
After a few minutes Killer jumped down and ran towards the back door.I stood up and made my way across the lawn towards the door.I walked inside and up into my room,Killer right behind me.
I looked at the time 7:56 A.M."Oh no!"I screamed,"I'm going to miss the bus!"I jumped and ran over to my dresser putting on clothes I would need,my toothbrush and toothpaste,comb,my drawing notebooks,craft supplies,Laptop,and my iPod.I stuffed it all into my satchel,and placed the strap on my right shoulder.I went to leave when I saw a little glow.I looked over and saw the little stuffed Enderman and the key was still around its neck.I quickly grabbed it and stuffed it in my satchel as well.
I ran down the stairs and towards the front door.My foster dad was already their."Took you long enough,come on your going to miss it."He said while handing me a bag full of something.I quickly put it in my satchel and smiled a questionable smile.He grinned in response and pushed me out of the house,Killer right behind me at my heels.
The bus zoomed by and I started to chase after it,running on the sidewalk.Killer following and barking.The bus screeched to a stop and the doors swung open.I smiled and bent down,holding Killer's head in my hands."I love you boy,be good for dum-dum."I giggled,and Killer licked my face in response.I quickly patted him on the head and ran towards the bus doors.
I got on and stared at all the people.I laughed nervously and put a five dollar bill in the bin up front on the dashboard.I slowly walked all the way to the back.With no one around,I plopped down comfortably on the backseat,unlike the seats in the front,this one took up the whole back.I smiled and placed my stuff next to me.
