We arrived at the amusement park. We walk around looking at some old games even play some. The one thing that doesn't seem right is I keep seeing a mechanical mouse. "Hey sis" I hear Lexie say "yea" I respond trying to keep control of my paranoia "can we go over there?" She questions pointing to an area with two carnival tents and a toy shop. "Sure," I say and push her over there.
The tent to the left was very monochrome the tent to the right has black and bright colors the toy shop was in decent condition the paint was flaking and a window was broken that's it but the door strangely looked to be in perfect condition.
"Hey, sis I'm going to go look in the toy store ok," I say since she won't be able to get up the stairs "ok I'll wait here if you take to long I might just go home," she says in a jokingly manner. I go inside the toy store to my surprise it seems to be perfectly fine on the inside. Toys line the shelf each has something unique about them like it's their version of a personality. All the toys are so beautiful but who would keep the shop in this condition it closed when I was I child. "Hello" I hear a sweet child like voice say but deep enough I know it's an adult "hi," I say turning around the man has long vibrant red hair and yellow eyes. "May I help you with something miss" the man questions "oh no I was just looking around I should get going to my sister tho she couldn't get inside because of the stairs" I say quickly. One of his eyes is green he looks irritated "well that okay come by again soon" he said I nod and start leaving hearing him mumble something under his breath.
When I get outside I don't see Lexie anywhere. where could she have gone? Maybe she wasn't feeling well and went home I start walking out if the park to see if I can find her.

It's been an hour and I can't find her... I guess she went home. I start walking toward the gate when I see a girl with space buns and wavy hair walk in her hair seems to be dyed dark purple and blue making her black hair have a cool ombre effect. Her bangs cover her left eye completely beside that a scattered on her forehead. She's holding a camera and is wearing a charcoal colored vest with bright blue poke-dots and a black blouse with a turnover collar and bell sleeves with ruffles and black ripped up jeggings with blue and purple blend. "Hello, have you see a girl in a wheelchair?" I ask worried about her going home. "Hm ... no I don't think so" she says "my names Amaris but people call me Zelena," she says "Um... what's with the camera?" I ask "oh my friends love my reaction to things so they tricked me into truth or dare...." she says oh she must do some hilarious reactions then. "Ok I need to look for my sis-" I start "I'll help you I can come back later," she says "sure thanks," I say.

We walk back to the house to see all the lights off I doubt she's home she has problems with getting switches on and off but... she would have turned a few on to see at least. Where is she? I go up to the house I see a monochrome music box. I pick it up and put it inside thinking it's the same person as yesterday day. "LEXIE YOU HOME!" I yell Zelena looked at me "I don't think she is here" She says. "Where could she be.... oh! You can go to the back to the park to do your reaction video" "you sure" she says a conflicted look on her face "ya heard my number call me if you find my sister please call me... she's the only family I have left" I say sadly "I'll come back tomorrow morning to help you look if she isn't back ... if I don't come back call the police and tell them you think someone's taking people from the park" I nod my head in agreement and head to bed I need some rest. I cuddle into that beautiful bear on the break of sleep not realize it has the faint smell of the amusement park.
