boy who met the girl(carnival)

Rayne woke up extra early.. He fell out of his bed in excitment. Ms. Wessely found him and told him they'd go later on. So he shouldnt get to wound up yet. they would have the whole day to wait. For he had healing to do.
Rayne didnt care for the first time in his life. He let his happiness show with eagerness on his tongue and perseverance that was shown in his eyes. as he couldnt look away from the door.
All day he'd stared at the door and his mind was in space wondering what ly before him. What wonders would be hidden at the carnival. That spoke to him. The day before.
Rayne ate his lunch fast. then he and Ms. Wessely left in her pearl white Cadillac.
The pair went to visit Mr. Evans. after a five hour drive. They came to an exact replica of Mr. Stevens shack. The same dirt driveway. Everything in place.
They parked the car and went to the door. Mr. Evens was tall like a tree with limbering branches for limbs and was all skin and bones.. With a tall black hat and black suit.
Rayne performed the same miracle he had before. Mr. Evens had black pussing legions on his body with a form of insomnia and severe dementia.
It all cleared up. The insomnia would subside the dementia would dimmish As it usually did but would come back. As it always has.
Rayne always thought if i healed you then why does it keep coming back but today was to important of a day to ponder anything other than the future of what tonight could bring. Excitement, people, games and the girl from his dream. Was she real or a figment of the imagination.
So the two left after ms. Wessely received her payment. On their way to a carnival shrouded in mystery!

The day became night. It was around 830 when the pair reached jinns bottled santuary.
Ms. Wessely couldnt get Rayne out the car fast enough. He had his arms forward for the embrace and missed the target of ms. Wessely.
Rayne landed face first into the dirt. As two chubby stocky fellas with bright red hair laughed and pointed saying, "does the lil boy need his mommy to carry him."
Ms. Wessely shooed them away. As she placed Rayne in his wheelchair. She had picked him up with ease. as she usually does.
As Rayne sat there. his mind was mesmerized by what he saw.
Lit up in purple and black was the banner. people were flowing in and out of the carnival. It was full of people livelier than ever. With gold, purple and black everywhere that the eyes could see.
The place took up a football field maybe two. It was gi-normace. It had a black smoke cloud floating above it with a silver film around it. It was showering little droplets of fog inside the carnival.

Now inside the carnival. rayne seen games but not your typical throw a ring ontop a bottle or a fixed hoop that shaped itself so you couldnt get a basket. With the same employees that wanted your money. With there greasy faces and misleading behavior.
No jinns bottled sanctuary was a place where magic lived. The workers dressed in black leather or latext with silver hieroglyphics of animals lions,bears,bird wings and exotic looking snakes that seemed to glide across their attire as you moved. Just like the shimmering banner.
Rayne rolled through the carnival looking at the people enjoying themselves laughing and giggling. Living life in the moment.
He watched a couple of kids playing a game. Where you threw black bean bags at a cloud of smoke that floated in the air. Rayne watched as the bean bag stopped and went still. as it landed in the smoke. Levitating!
The man who worked the station had on black leather with dark dreadlocks. His skin was a pasty white. He said to the kids," as long as you get three in the cloud you win a prize. They did. the man handed them a bottle of white smoke saying," this will rejuvenate your soul. Take it in your time of need and it shall deliver."
Rayne got himself some cotton candy. it was black and purple but two kids bumped into Rayne. As they wherent paying attention. they where to busy shooting pebbles at each other with the slingshot they'd won from one of the games.
A small and short man with a black ballers hat and leather to match gave Rayne some more cotton candy telling him," the big shows about to start you dont want to miss it. Get a seat. We saved one espicially for you! Let me show you the way."

The small man with the baller hat lead rayne and ms. Wessely into a purple and black striped tent with gold trim.
All the way down to the front row. Right in the center of the show. As he told rayne in his raspy voice," this is a special place! tonight your the guest of honor," then he abrubtly left.
Ms Wesseley sat beside rayne saying in her monotoned voice," ok after the show we're gonna go home. So settle in and enjoy yourself!"
Rayne's head was tilted forward and his arms were pressed against his cheeks. He was shaking. About to burst from his wheelchair with excitement.
He looked around from his chair at the inside of the tent. It had bleachers with about 400 people in a C shape. as the middle had silver torches with black flames ontop of them in a c shape as well but the torches lit the place up in a jackolatern type of way. That seemed to smile.
Then as rayne looked forward. he saw black smoke come from the back of the tent. Where no one sat. It came in slithering into the middle of the tent. As it rose into a ball.
In the next instance it blew out like a mini shockwave and exposed the same girl from Rayne's dream. The girl with the purple hat and curly hair.
She spoke in a godly death defying manner," ladies men and the gentle souls that surround. Today you've all gathered for the greatest show in soul binding history. We will show you mystery. We will bring forth your depth for demand but most importantly we'll show you the world underneath your senses! The world of the unknown! Now if your squeamish. Grab a bag and go! for this isnt for the faint of heart but for the ones who are willing to accept its truth."
The girl jumped up into the air levitating 4 ft. She pulled her left arm out. then as in a half grip. she left it there and continued to talk," tonight! you've come to test your senses. Youve come to see the unbelieveable. Here at jinns bottled sanctuary. We show you what you mind truly desires to see! The truth.
Then she looked directly at rayne with dark piercing eyes. She spoke to him in his mind," i will show you the truth behind the curtains. Let me guide you into your unseen. What lies in the past but also in your future. It goes by deception. Those that play in your play. arent what they seem. Ill show you. Just give me time."
Then she spoke to the crowd one more time as her voice rose to a new level of death defying crowd pleasing magical wisdom," my name is Giselle the gizzel! The queen gipsy of the east and in tonights show. You'll meet Cleo amd leo the resident prince and princess from hell. Then you'll be guided in pendance by Ingland our tortured battered shadow. Brought to us by death itself but then you shall see the wee men of days past! little men who have big potential! And after the clown perform the massacre of old! We'll finish you off with jinn the magical man from within.

The show began. A black goo made its way to the center of the ring. It shot up forming two different people. Both with blackleather and straps that rolled up to their sleeves.
They had silver buckles that shined different animal and creatures. All over them from head to toe. Their chests where buldging as they stood towering 2 stories high. it seemed like an exageration but they where thin with pasty white skin and long thick black dreadlocks.
They began by talking in unison with monsterous booming voices saying," we are cleo and leo!! your resident specialist in the knowledge of the unknown. You've come for a show and tonight you wont believe what we have in store for you. Sit back and relax. But be ready!
The two sucked in their guts. As they did this. Their stomachs expanded into a huge bulge. They let out black smoke that filled the center of the tent from top to bottom.
As it disappeared out the top of the tent. It looked like a twister was being sucked up and funneled out the top. You could see ghosts. that appeared to be yelling but you couldnt quite make out what they where saying.
The ghosts levitated into the crowd appearing infront of their loved ones. talking to them for minutes. Resolving the unresolved. Saying the things that went unsaid or maybe yelling in anger. Disbelief!
Afterwords they dissapeared into a whisper of smoke.
The crowd was stunned, petrified as they couldnt believe it. They where speaking to the dead.
Rayne's mother floated to him. Rayne wiped his eyes in disbelief. As it couldnt be his mother. He didnt know what she looked like but he felt her. Knew it was her.
He had seen photos of her. A tall but full figured woman with curly dark hair. She had aqua blue eyes with a gold and white ring on her left index finger. She had a huge smile in every photo with a cheery glow about her.
she now floated in front of him. She spoke in a ghostly frightening manner that raised the hair on Rayne's skin saying to Rayne's mind," the truth is not as you see it. There's more hidden in the shadows. Than whats shown in the light! My dear boy. She who sits next to you is not a friend. Dont trust her words. Watch her! She is not what you think! I love you!"
She dissapeared as cleo and leo spoke again," thats all for us tonight but now you see! part of the resolution! hopefully you got out! what you kept hidden!! This wasnt a trick but a blessing. So listen to its cause. It defines itself with burden. Let it go and find clarity!!"
They left the stage.

Next Giselle introduced Ingland and the shadow floated across the ground stopping dead center in the middle of the ring. His eyes glowed red with a silver foggy glow.
He spoke in his low but mighty howl of a voice," tonight you will see darkness! as its meant to be told by the hand that helped guide its sorrow. The time is anew and you will see the hand that does its work!"
Ingland grew and exposed the whole tent into darkness. Then the laterns light grew with a bright red. Then a fogginess ensued. All you could see where Ingland's deep red piercing eyes glowing.
Shadows seemed to come to him as they left the audience. Showing themselves around the firey torches.
They danced together. All moving in a circle around the torches. Their eyes glowed either white and foggy or dark and adismal showing the true intent of a person's soul.
Ingland howled not words but a death defying scream. That made the heads of everyone pound. While their ears rang.
The torches went out and became what they where before. as the light washed over the tent.
All the shadows were standing around Ingland in a circle holding hands.
They all laughed, cried and howled as their heads where pointed to the sky.
A black smoke came out their mouths as they did this.
The smoke levitated to the dark cloud aura surrounding the sky around the circus.
The sky rumbled popping with a black strike of lightning. where Ingland stood.
Ingland spoke," this is life in the greatest form! Purity! Watch as i show you true inner strength!"
The shadows with the black eyes started to howl and a grotesque dark vapor came out.
They shrieked and started to dissolve into a smokey black puddle.
Then they came back together with a foggy white glow. as it expelled their rotten parts. Cleansing them anew.
The ones with foggy white eyes. Seemed to have changed too but with more strength to them. As they felt reborn.
Rayne's shadow turned and stared right into his eyes. They were black as the night. Darker than all the others in the circle. It shot a cloud of its own which was darker,foggier and more abrasive than any other.
Rayne could feel himself getting healthier. He felt rejuvinated. Like he wanted to sing and dance with them. It felt as tho the toxins and bad juju was leaving him. He felt invigorated.
Then Ingland spoke one last time saying in a mighty thurderous voice," you are all anew. Love the light inside your body. Let your soul be cleansed. Feel reborn. Dont waste the opportunity! i give to you."
Then Ingland vanished. As the shadows returned to their vessels.

Many other talents where shown throughout the circus's events. A clown with black and white face paint. He had an x drawn on his forehead and was wearing black leather with silver x's drawn throughout. He had floating black ballons with no strings attached to them. They levitated above his head. Then popped bursting out a ghostly white smoke that turned into black and silver snakes that floated in the sky. everywhere from which the eyes could see.
The audience was in awe stunned and baffled from everything they had witnessed for the feat of magic doesnt just exist in the world we know but all around us. For belief is everywhere. Its contagious.
A couple of magicians with black pointy hats and black latex showed. As they marvelled the audience with a crystal ball that showed the desire of the person looking into it.
The crowd was mesmerized seeing their deepest fantasies fulfilled. Each with different motives and agenda.
Rayne seen a family long forgotten with friends he had never seen. Giselle was their. Talking to him but he couldnt make out what she was saying. It sounded like a muffle. A vibration of a frequency he couldnt pick up.
Then four woman with their faces painted half black and white had on that same black latex with silver X's did a trapize act.
Twisting flying in the air. Floating in dead silence as one of them stood in the air. as the others danced around her in an act of a dance forgotten. Doing flips around, above and below the levitating woman.
There where many attractions to be shown in this wide world of undiscovered magic.
Even a man with dead white hair going all the way down to his knees. With silver latex on and a big black belt with an x on it was holding a whip.
He brought out two black tigers and one huge white tiger. He threw the whip in the air. it extended into a wide huge circle. The tigers jumped through and then performed tricks. Spitting out black and white fire that exploded making a booming noise as they growled ferociously. One walked up to Rayne putting its nose to his. Then licked him with it's long white pointy tongue.
