Enter a world where you indulge in sin. "Come on, Kairi! Don't you wanna be a bad girl?" His eyes were seductive, hard to turn away from.

It was pretty cold for a night in summer. Kairi shivered as she rubbed her hands together to warm them. The summer field trip at school was at a beautiful aquarium with cerulean water and playful sea lions, but the four buses had broken down on the way home. They were stuck near the woods on the freeway. The only thing they could do was wait until morning to go to the nearest town and get some help. Her teacher Cid Highwind looked annoyed as many girls complained to him, his brow twitching.
"Look, we have no reception here to call for help and we have to stay together so no one gets lost." Hayner, a boy who was always a leader of the pack, grinned.
"But we're lost either way, sir. Shouldn't we get help?" Cid frowned.
"We're gonna get lost if we leave. Stay put! I can't believe we broke down in the middle of the night...Dammit! Everyone get on the buses to sleep! It's getting cold out and there's some pillows and blankets the bus drivers provided for us. Everyone sleeps inside, two people per seat. Get your asses in there!" They piled into the buses, many people still whining about how everything was unfair. Kairi and Olette shared a seat while Hayner and Pence took the seat behind them. Kairi nervously looked out the window, it was midnight. It was dark out with the moon a slender crescent. She bid her brunette friend good night and fell into a deep slumber.
Kairi was laying on the ground, surrounded by laughter, carnival music and the smell of smoking wood. She sat up and looked around. Carnival games, roller coasters, a giant Ferris wheel glowed with neon lights. The laughter came from visitors, all playing for prizes and the thrills of the fast-moving roller coasters. The sound of popping balloons rang out and large clumps of the multicolored spheres ascended into the dark starry sky. It all looked amazing, a smile stretched across her lips. A low chuckle sounded behind her, and she looked back to see a shadowy figure.
"Looks like we're gonna have a full house tonight. But how much will join us?" it said, voice husky. It didn't seem to notice her. It walked past her, the people, and into a large black tent that read 'House of-'
Hayner poked Olette and Kairi in the ribs, waking them from their sleep. His eyes had a look of mischief. Kairi stared up at him. Was what she saw a dream?
"Hey! Wake up!" he hissed. Olette sleepily rubbed her eyes.
"What?" Pence peeked his head over their chair.
"We were gonna sneak out! We heard from some other kids that a fair was nearby! Let's head over!" A fair? Like the one she saw in her dream? Kairi shook her head. She was the good girl after all. She wasn't going to risk a punishment over some stupid thrill.
"No way. We'll get in trouble. Besides, it's probably closed right now. It's-" she checked her phone, eyes bugged when she read the time, "1:30 am? No one's up!"
Hayner wagged his finger.
"Nope! This one opens at night only!" he pointed out. "Let's go check it out! It only does this for a week in an entire year!" Kairi refused to get up. This whole thing sounded fishy and scary. Who would want to go to a carnival at night? Zombies would, and she didn't want any coming after her brain.
"I'm not going. It sounds freaky." Hayner shot her a toothy grin.
"Sounds awesome, if you ask me. But suit yourself. Olette?" Olette sighed.
"I'm with Kairi on this, guys. And we can't go alone either. The four of us? Alone?" Pence jerked a thumb out the window. They followed and saw Seifer Almasy, Rai and Fuu carefully creep out their bus. Other kids did too from theirs. It was a nice-sized group.
"They're all going! We're not gonna be alone!" said Pence. Kairi wasn't convinced. Instead, her arms crossed over her chest.
"I'm not going." She turned back into her blanket. She heard rustling and looked up to see Hayner and Pence crawl out of the bus, Pence holding his precious camera to his chest. Kairi rolled her eyes.
"Idiots..." She closed her eyes and drifted to sleep.
For only a minute until Olette woke her up. Kairi twitched when Olette poked her side.
"What?" Her friend looked really worried.
"We should make sure they're okay. What if something happens to them?" The redhead growled.
"What if something happens to us?" she shot back. Olette shook her head defiantly.
"They would still need us! I'm going after them." She pushed her blanket off and tiptoed off the bus. Kairi looked out the window and saw her join up with the group that was disappearing down the street. Kairi groaned. She was worried too. She was scared off going without an adult, but she was eighteen, she could do this!
She stealthily got out off the bus by climbing out her window, then hurried to join the others. She reached her friends, who grinned at her.
"I knew you would pull through, Kairi!" said Hayner, giving her a thumbs up. She rolled her eyes.
"Don't flatter yourself. Where is this fair anyway?" she called out to Seifer, who was leading the group.
"Down the street, take the right exit," he said. "That's what a local told me at the aquarium."
"What's this fair about?" asked Olette. He shrugged.
"Who knows? The local got creeped out though. He said his friends went in a couple years ago and came back all spooked out after going to some freaky attraction. Then they got sent to an asylum when they just went ballistic a few days after they came back." A wolf howled in the distance. Kairi stopped in her tracks. A shiver went down her spine.
"Then why the hell are we going? We should turn back!" Seifer smirked.
"Don't be a pussy even though you got one!" The group roared in laughter save for Olette, who looked annoyed, and herself.
"They went crazy, right? And you guys still want to go?" Seifer scoffed.
"Aren't you guys curious?" Kairi was, but she was damn scared at the same time.
"Yeah. But-" Seifer cut her off.
"Then that's it! Onward we go!" Kairi huffed in annoyance, but still followed them without uttering another word. But she felt kinda nauseous. And the whole thing was spooky. She couldn't head back alone either, not with the howls of the wolves nearby. What if she got eaten on the way back? At least with a group of people, it seemed less scary. Besides, they would check it out and head back before morning. Olette leaned close to her.
"You okay?" she whispered. Before Kairi could answer, she bumped into Pence who abruptly stopped. Kairi regained her balance.
"What's up?" He pointed in front of him, a large 'NO TRESPASSING!' sign stood in their way. Beyond were the woods with an empty tunnel leading in. Going in was like walking into a black hole, past the sign was the event horizon.
"Here's the right exit they were talking about. What's up with this sign?" asked one of the guys. Seifer smirked.
"Rai." Rai, his burly follower in an orange tank top and black baggy pants, went up to the sign and shoved it over, toppling it. Rai smiled in self-satisfaction.
"Don't see the sign no more, y' know?" Seifer cackled and walked through, smacking Rai on the shoulder. Fuu and Rai went in after him, so did the rest of the group. Kairi and her friends stared in. Even Hayner, who was gungho about going several minutes ago, was having second thoughts. Kairi was afraid of being pulled in, afraid of never coming out ever again. What kind of fair was in the dark? Why couldn't they hear carnival music, where were the signs advertising it?
"Let's go back," said Hayner decisively. They all nodded and turned to go back to their bus. The others were gone from their view, but they could still go back safe and sound.
"HOLY SHIT!" shouted Seifer, screaming as if being burned alive. Kairi squealed and turned back to the emptiness. Hayner and Pence rushed in. Olette and Kairi went after them. Her heart pounded in fear. Zombies ate them, she was dead sure of it.
The wind swept through her red hair as they ran towards the group, who were just fine and waiting for them. Kairi's heart stopped its rapid beat. They were all smiling.
"About time you guys showed up! We thought you wimped out on us!" said Seifer. Hayner growled.
"Sorry for being worried!" Seifer chuckled.
"How romantic. But I don't swing that way. Let's go!" Kairi grabbed Hayner's arm.
"Let's go back. They're fine without us." She just wanted to get out of here. But before anyone could call Kairi a wimp, a sweet melodic voice sang out gently.
Don't be so shy
Everything's all right
Come close
And talk to me~~~
It was enchanting, soothing. Like a smooth cool waterfall in the blazing sun. Kairi took a step forward, and the voice was louder. It was addicting. Not just for her, but the whole group. Together they walked forward, deeper into the dark abyss. But Kairi didn't care about the darkness Not anymore. It could swallow her up for all she cared. That singing female voice was her salvation.
Like a siren, the voice lured the group into the darkness, luring them into a trap. But instead, they were brought to an entrance of a carnival. The lines were full of people, mostly teenagers. The song faded away and loud carnival music invaded. They were snapped out of the dreamy trance. They heard ringing bells and laughter erupt in their ears. It was just like Kairi's dream. The laughter, the noise. They were in awe.
"Whoa...we made it!" shouted Seifer.
"You want in? Gotta pay up! Fifteen munny a person," said a new voice. They turned to the entrance gate and saw a boy with spiky brown hair and blue eyes. He wore a black shirt made of bandages like a straight jacket. His pants were black also with red chains tied and hanging around the waist. His outfit had patterns of dull white. He leaned on the gate from inside the carnival, grinning mischievously.
"I don't think many of us brought any munny..." said Pence nervously. The boy smirked.
"Well..." His eyes flicked towards Kairi, who thought something was familiar about this boy. His voice was the same as the one she heard in her dream.
"Sexy chicks get in free." She blushed furiously when he winked at her. Hayner growled.
"Dammit, no fair! What about us?" The boy shrugged.
"Not my problem, you're not a chick. Come this way, little miss!" The gate opened, whining erupting from the lines that didn't seem to budge. Kairi didn't move. She didn't trust this guy. Sure, he was attractive and could give good compliments, but she wasn't willing to be alone with him.
"I'm not going without my friends." The boy didn't look fazed. Instead, he nodded understandingly.
"Okay, I see. How about this? Answer my question and your group can come in free of charge. How's that? I'll even be your tour guide." Kairi nodded quickly. She wanted her friends with her. Hayner, Pence, and Olette went around her for protection.
"Don't try anything funny," warned Hayner. The boy put his hands up in surrender, his mischievous smile didn't leave his face.
"You have my word. Now, Miss...?"
"Kairi," she answered confidentally. He grinned and bowed theatrically.
"Kairi. What are the seven deadly sins?" Kairi blinked. What kind of question was that?
"Wrath, pride, gluttony, sloth, greed, envy, and lust," she answered with the same confidence. He clapped.
"Right you are! Which one have you indulged in?" he asked, his tone dipping into seduction. Her cheeks flared.
"That's my business! Not yours!" He let out a laugh, grabbing his stomach.
"Okay then! Welcome, welcome!" He stood aside as Kairi and her friends walked in. "My name's Sora and I'll be your guide this evening. I'll take you on some rides and show you our finest attractions. Looks like we're gonna have a full house tonight. But how much will join us?" he muttered the last part, but Kairi heard it all. She froze. It was the same thing the shadow said in her dream.
What did they get themselves into?
