It was an average morning, where the clouds were grey and the leaves were brown. For it was autumn in that little town, and the Sun was to the west. Over in FIX carnival everyone was really joyful, including the parents, which is surprising. Until one little boy arrived, his name was Cromy. He had blondish, brown hair and a yoghurt stain on the centre of his shirt. After all, Cromy was just a normal boy so how could it be his fault? Let’s find out.

Cromy was going to the carnival for a fun day out with his mum and dad, but when he got there, the sky turned black and everything stopped, including time for a second, and everybody disappeared, including his mum and dad. 

Suddenly, a swing moved behind Cromy, and it made him jump with fright. Without warning, a dark, tall figure emerged from the darkness and slowly started walking towards him. A walk which turned into a jog and then a run, but Cromy didn’t move. He was stuck to the ground with fright, and then it… it… hugged him. “Cromy, is that you?” the dark, spooky, eerie figure asked him in a somehow familiar voice. Confused, Cromy asked “Who are you? Get away from me! I don’t know you… do I?”. “Yes, you do. I’m your sister, Theo”.  Silence. “How do I know it’s you? Prove it”.  Theo looked startled. ‘Okay, your first word was afraid” they said laughing. “It is you!” said Cromy cheerfully, “But how did you get here?”. “Well, I...” but before she could finish the ferris wheel started moving, BACKWARDS, but nobody reappeared and it was still pitch black. 

Suddenly, bits of the Ferris wheel started to jump off and move towards them. As the carnival came alive,  Cromy and Theo stood statue still in fright. “Let’s get out of here!” choked Cromy as it was hard to breathe when bits of moving carnival are coming towards you from every direction. Theo was as excited as a baby in the world for the first time but Cromy on the other hand was curling up on the floor in a ball like a Pangolin. “Get up, we need to get out of here!” Theo said in a worried voice because she didn’t want Cromy to get hurt. They ran as fast as they could, and jumped over all the bits of moving carnival and hid behind a stall. Surely it couldn’t get any worse? It did. 

The malicious black drops. One of them even went down the side of Cromy’s face and he screamed in agony because it burnt a scratch on the side of his face. Suddenly, an enormous drop started falling right above the centre of Theo’s face. Cromy wasn’t having that though. He quickly pulled his sister away, just in time.

Theo’s heart was racing like a ball and her face was turning red to purple to red again. Suddenly, Cromy started choking. “Cromy, are you okay? Theo spluttered worriedly, even though she knew he wasn’t, she decided to find somewhere safe. 

Their wish must have come true as just then the fortune tellers greeted them. Theo ran to them, carrying Cromy in her arms. All of a sudden, Theo heard a noise, it sounded like the sound of her and Cromy’s mum calling them. “Hey Cromy” Theo called but before she could finish a sack went over both her and Cromy’s head. The next thing they knew, they were on a table. Seconds later, they heard footsteps. They were similar to their parents’. Then their Mum and Dad walked into the room and stood on the table. They weren’t normal parents though. They were VAMPIRES! Their parents were just about to eat them when…
