Wing It pt. 2

I heard carnival music coming from way below me, barely audible from the ferris wheel passenger car.  The car I was in hung suspended at the highest point, and the chilled autumn wind caused it to swing. Despite the music playing, everything was dark. I couldn't even see the ground, and I even leaned over the edge to try and get a better look. Nothing. When I tried to listen, I could distantly hear the ocean beyond the music. Was I on Vineland island? I looked around, but everything was hidden in darkness, the only thing visible was the car itself and some of the beams supporting it.
"Well this is... weird..." I finally said, and my voice seemed to echo as though I was in a cave, and yet it felt like I was in a wide open space.
"Vlinny?"  a voice directly across from me said, "is something wrong?"  Though I could've sworn the other seat of the passenger car had been empty, it was suddenly occupied by... her. Her beautiful dark eyes looked at me with concern, and in them I saw all lights of carnival reflected, despite them actually being no where in sight.
"What? No, no, nothing's wrong." I tried reassuring her as I scooted to the edge of my seat, and took her hooves in my hands. I already brought so much chaos into her life, I didn't want to worry her anymore.
She looked at me sadly. "Aw, Vlinny..." she switched sides and sat beside me, "you don't have to lie to me, you know that, besides," she smirked, "I know you too well, and I can tell when you are lying, so there's no point." She laughed a bit. I loved her laugh so much. She lightly elbowed me. "Now, come on now, out with it... please?" She looked up at me, worried. The wind caused the car to gently sway again as I looked to the side nervously, trying to find the words.
"I... well..."  what was bothering me? I couldn't remember-
Dheerse and I both yelped as the wind picked up suddenly, making the car swing violently. I turned around and held her close to me as the car swung. The carnival music picked up in speed as well, and was so loud it felt like my ears would bleed. I screamed from the pain. I felt the front of my shirt become wet as Dheerse cried into it. I have to get her out of here, I thought to myself, frantically looking for a way out. I have to keep her safe, I don't want to lose her-
I heard a snapping noise, and suddenly me, Dheerse, and the car began to fall down into void. We both screamed.
Dheerse held me as she yelled, "I love you so much! I don't want this to end!"
"Dheerse! I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!" I slightly pulled away so I could look her in the eyes, "I-I love you too! I love y-" I felt myself be ripped from her arms and forced upward. Dheerse continued to fall, and looked up at me, reaching for me.
"Vlinny!" She screamed for me as she disappeared into the abyss below me.
"Dheerse! No!" I tried to reach down for her, but instead felt myself be violently flung up into the star filled sky.  I was sent spiraling, stars zipping by me until-
I screamed when I woke up, my face icy from crying in my sleep. Attempting to collect myself, I tried to slow my breathing, and held myself in a tight curled up ball. I sobbed.
"Why, why... why..."
After awhile, I picked my head up and looked around me. I was a few yards away from my bed, lying in the snow instead, meaning I must've sleep walked, at least a little bit. I groaned and buried my head in the snow.
"Maybe I should try just... never sleeping... ever again..." reluctantly, I sat myself up, flinching from the pain. Whether it was because of the falls from yesterday, or from sleeping on the ground for who knows how long, I couldn't tell. Honestly, it was probably both. I could still hear Dheerse's screams from the dream. I shook my head. Suddenly it became brighter, and I lifted my head to see that the double moons had begun to rise. I began to try and stand up, and almost collapsed from the soreness. I knew that I should maybe try and rest more, but instead I stood up again, and began making my way towards my supplies.
Sitting on my bed, I picked up a box of cereal, and shoveled some of the marshmallow and puffed grain into my mouth. Trying to forget the nightmare, I tried thinking about what I should do today.
I decided I should give the self taught flight lessons a break, so maybe instead I could... clean up the camp abit? Organize? I looked at the mess around me.
"Yeah... I'll try and do that..." I closed the box, and set it aside, then picked it back up. "I'll get all the cereal together first..."

The moons had traveled to the other half of the sky by the time I had finished. I actually had a lot of supplies, especially for just one person. So I had that going for me, at least. I even found some pain pills in the clutter, which would have been very nice to know earlier, but they were nice to have now, and now most of my soreness was gone. I stood up and carefully stretched my wings. I looked up at the sky. Everything was briefly still, silent... beautiful.
But that calm was quickly shattered by a blur of metal and light high up in the sky. I recognized what it was instantly, and though it disappeared over the horizon a moment later, I was frozen, staring at where it had vanished.
"Oh no, oh... oh no." I needed to move, I had to leave the camp behind. They'll look here first. I took a few steps back and nearly fell into the tidied up supplies. Looking at them, suddenly the amount I had became a bit of a problem, because there was no way he could move all of these supplies at once. I kneeled down and started to shove as many supplies as I could into a bag.
