VICTORIA''S POV


    Reaching the Carnival the first thing that I noticed was therge Ferris wheel and the huge roller coaster, making everyone scream in fear, wanting to ride it already. ??


    "Let''s go beautiful." Alexander said opening my door like a chivalrous man.


    ''Huh? When did he even leave the car?''


    "Looks like chivalry isn''t dead yet." Iughed along with him before exiting the car.


    "Of course, mydy." He repliedughing along.


    Closing the car door behind me, he ced his hand at my back, just above my waist, leading me towards the entry of the carnival, making pleasurable tingles run down my body.


    "Uhh..can you not ce your hand on my back like that? It''s ufortable" I shyly said, while walking.


    "I am sorry, I made you felt ufortable, it''s just-" I had to cut him off in the middle, so as to not create any misunderstanding and prevent him from feeling guilty.


    "No, It''s just, I am a bit ticklish there." I saidughing awkwardly to hide my embarrassment.


    Hearing my response, he immediately stopped in his track also, stopping his trail of thoughts, and before I could even react, he pulled me by my waist to his side. I knew, telling him was a mistake.


    I tried to wiggle out from his hold, however, seeing my defensive movements, he started running his fingers along my back, smoothly making meugh involuntarily.


    "Hahaha...stop. Look, haha, it''s not funny. People are looking, Hahahaha, at us." I said between myughter.


    "Looks like someone is already having fun, without us." I heard Daniel''s voice from behind me, which made me ran towards him.


    Hiding behind Daniel''s back, I took deep breaths, to calm my nerves,.my heart racing from all his touching and tickling.


    "You are soo mean Alexander." I puffed my cheeks in annoyance before holding Daniel''s hand and entering the Carnival.


    Throwing onest look at Alexander, I don''t know if it was just one of my hallucinations, but his eyes were fixated on my intertwined hands with Daniel and I think, I saw his eyes glowing a bit hazelnut colour before his colour changed back to that amber brown.


    Thinking that it was just because of the reflection from sun, I shrugged my shoulders before pulling Daniel to a candy shop.


    "What? Don''t tell me you''re gonna buy some candies now." Daniel said looking adorably at me.


    "So what? You don''t need to be a kid to eat candies, plus, your heart is always a kid." I reasoned before buying cotton candy.


    "Huh...okay. Now if your heart is satisfied and mind has cooled down, let''s go back to our friends and ride those rollercoasters together. Okay?" Daniel asked, to which I nodded my head in agreement.


    Reaching back to where the group was standing in a line, to ride a small scale rollercoaster, I stood with Daniel in the back to avoid Alexander who was standing in front.


    As if he sensed our presence, he immediately turned back once we stood there, giving me aplicated look.


    "This rollercoaster is the smallest one with the least turns, don''t you think it will be boring?" I asked to no one in particr.


    "I know, but ording to Aiden, we should prepare ourselves slowly for thatrge one." Sean said pointing at the biggest rollercoaster, where people were screaming madly. Those who might''ve just gotten down from it, were puking their contents at the side.


    "Okay." I said.


    Once I turned back to my candy cotton, I saw half of it already gone, looking at the culprit beside me, I puffed my cheeks in annoyance, not talking to him.


    "Okay, I am sorry. Will you forgive me now?" He asked getting infinitely closer to me.


    Once, he started getting closer to me, only then did I noticed that Daniel was no where near me and I was now behind the wall, hidden from others.


    "Don''t do it again in front of soo many people. I get easily embarrassed." I said, without looking at him, my face starting to burn again.


    "I promise. Next time, I''ll do it, only when you and me are alone, beautiful." He whispered into my ears slowly, making me widen my eyes at his words.


    What was he implementing saying things like that?


    Was he giving me some sort of mixed signals?


    Before I could refuse and tell him that''s not what I meant, he closed my opened mouth filling it with a chocte candy.


    ''Huh!! Chocte candies are the best in the world.'' The person in mind said.


    Sucking on the chocte candy slowly, I looked ahead, when it was our turn.


    I was about to sit in the middle with everyone, rolling my eyes at their choice of seat, when Alexander pulled my hand and brought me to thest two-seater.


    "Hey, shouldn''t we be sitting with them?" I tried to form the words with my mouth full.


    "This ride is no fun already. Sitting in the middle will make it worst." He reasoned, and to be honest he was very right about it.


    If it wasn''t for everyone wanting to ride this one first, I wouldn''t even think about riding this ride.


    "Okay." I said before sitting in the right with Alexander on my left.


    He looked at me with an adorable expression, confusing me a bit, before wiping the chocte that might have out of my mouth, with a tissue.


    "Thank-You." I said, looking at the other side to calm my burning face.


    The ride started with a jerk, making me involuntarily hold Alexander''s hand, that he might''ve identally ced on hand-rest if my seat. Realising that I have held his hand, I immediately released it, muttering a quick sorry.


    I sat along the ride, enjoying the view of the carnival, wanting to scoff at those adults who were screaming madly even on this one.


    I was pretty much bored, since this ride was taking multiple turns and don''t know, what came over me but I suddenly desired to read Alexander''s thoughts.


    Looking beside me, at him, I concentrated my mind for a second, before I was stopped by a wall. It was a wall, almost everyone builds around himself to protect his inner thoughts from being read. But the wall around Alexander''s mind was soo thick that it was practically unbreakable.


    As the quote go, ''Curiosity kills the cat'', the wall around Alexander''s mind made me more eager and curious to read his thoughts.


    Before I could concentrate harder, the wall around his mind immediately vanished, allowing me in, and I saw visions of a wolf.


    Arge wolf, that looked undeniably familiar.


    Maybe it was because, he was thinking about that wolf, he might have encountered in the forest. Deciding that it was probably best to retreat, I was about to exit, when that wolf came near me, looking at me while tilting his head, I faintly heard the ''wolf'' say,


    "Hello mate, let''s fall in love with each other." And with that my head started pounding with an unbearable pain.


    Closing my eyes as the tears started to flow out of my eyes, I tried to stop the unbearable pain. Involuntarily holding Alexander''s hand, I brought it close to my face, hugging it as if it was myst hope to cure the pain. And it indeed helped.


    The pain started subsiding, but not before I started falling into a dark abyss.
