The Colours of Fall

Chapter 4

(Jenelle above, all pictures off of google)By the time Knott's Scary Farm opened, Ellie and the rest of the group were in Ghost Town, which was, in Ellie's opinion, the worst place to be at the time. Josh had dragged them there against there will because he was the dare devil in their group.

The fog had already started filling in, and the first ride they decided on was ghost rider so that's where they went. Surprisingly, not many people were in line because it was that period of time when everybody either came for Scary Farm, or left because of it.

Ellie wasn't that fond of scary things, so she acted like she wasn't scared at all, that's what she heard she had to do for the actors to leave her alone. She wished her tactic worked as Mich as she wanted it to.

She kept getting little strikes of fear in her stomach, making her more and more afraid. That feeling only grew when she realized that Jenelle and josh were riding together, and there was only two seats per cart. She would be riding with and actor.

She started to tremble, she knew she could just chicken out, but then Ellie would feel like she came for no reason because she would most likely be put in this situation several times tonight. So she sucked it up and got on, and was seated with a Freddie Cougar.....(may have spelt wrong) thing.

Gosh, this thing even had the nails to go with it. Of course it does. Ellie thought.

She gulped when the person wouldn't stop staring at her. She knew that was how they freaked people out but it actually made her more... Uncomfortable.

She hated attention from anyone, including this strange actor - man - thing. When she finally decided to stare back at the man, she was greeted with a pair of bright blue eyes.

She gasped, then the ride started moving, but she didn't move her eyes away from his, not even when a big drop came. She just kept staring right on back.

When the ride was over, before she could get off, the guy grabbed her arm firmly and handed her a slip of paper. She took it and left as quickly as possible.

She wanted nothing to do with those gross, long, nails of his. The only problem was that she couldn't escape them. They were following her. The whole freaking time. So to solve her unfortunate problem, she went to the bathroom.

Ellie knew that he couldn't follow her there so she told her friends to go on a ride while she took a dump. And then she sat and waited. And waited. And waited. And waited. Till her phone went off.

Where did you go? Jenelle messaged, making Ellie jump so high she thought she could reach the stars. She texted back "Bathroom" and ran out of the stinky building. At least it was better then being stalked by some freak. She thought.

When Ellie exited her Safe Haven (aka the bathroom), she looked around for and Freddie Cougar costumes, and walked over to her friends, satisfied that the actor was no where in sight.

"What's next?" She asked, sliding her phone into the back pocket of her jeans.

She frowned when she met there unblinking expressions staring at her. Only then did she realize that they were staring behind her.

She spun around and was met with a Christmas colored chest, but the colors were for the exact opposite of Christmas. She bit her lip and looked up, preparing for a staring contest. Ellie blinked immediately.

She was intimidated. She could feel herself shake from his presence. He placed his warm hands on her arms in an attempt to help her stop shaking. Wait... Warm?

She relaxed at his touch until he pulled away, and she no longer felt the soft touch on her arm, and lost sight of him.

Later, Ellie, Jenelle, and Josh dropped her off at her house and she waved good bye as they drove off, further and further away from her.

She knocked on the door, and her dad opened it merely 3.5 seconds later. Ellie's exhausted self, emotionally and physically, practically fell into her fathers arms, and crawled to her room. Yes, she actually crawled because she didn't want to stand up.

She flopped on bed and took out the piece of paper she had carefully placed in her phone case. It was a phone number.

Ellie didn't know if it was worth it to add the number, but she was in a careless mood at the moment, so she typed it in, said "hi" and went to bed.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

She woke up about two hours later, according to her alarm, to the familiar ding of her phone. Hey E. The number Ellie had recently added typed back.

Then she remembered the blue eyes. It was Asher. Asher was the one who freaked her out, and followed her, and stared at her. But that was part of his job, right?

She sent a complaint message, saying it was really late and she was going to bed, goodnight. Then she drifted off into a dreamless sleep.
