Disclaimer: I'm doing the best job of not owning the mentalist, why stop?
A/N ok, soososososososososo sorry for the delay in update! I had writers block and a very busy schedule that involves me getting home around 8 pm. Thanks to Jisbon-sessed for the idea at the end, she knows what I mean! I am going to keep them at Shasta for a few more chapters, 3 tops, and then I have a couple more plans up my sleeve =] hehe, well, I am rambling, so read on =]
They all looked at him dumbfounded
'Use your words' Teresa encouraged
'They have gone to the fortune tellers tent, they think I am psychic, and won't tell their futures for them, so they have gone off in search of one instead' he explained
'Ok, so, what are we standing around here for, we need to go to that tent' Grace said, walking off towards the array of tents
They walked around for about 5 minutes before finding the appropriate tent, where sure enough, Hayley and Kyle were, and were trying to convince the teller that they were able to pay the needed fee of $5 with a one dollar note, a button, a paper clip and 4 monopoly dollars.
'Hayley, Kyle!' Teresa called
They both whipped around with a guilty look on their faces
'Hey Tessie' Kyle said, while looking at the ground
'You two are in big trouble, you hear?'
'Were sorry' Hayley said, scuffing the dirt with her shoe
'Ok, do you want your fortunes told?' she said, changing her tone to a much happier one
'Yes please' they both yelled
'Ok, lemme go talk to the nice lady then'
Teresa went off to talk to her and came back with a grin on her face
'She will do a reading for all of us for $20, so pay up'
Hayley and Kyle went in first and were both told they would come into a lot of money soon, which made them very happy, Teresa and Patrick went in next, and Teresa came out with a scowl on her face after being told that she was in for a long and happy life married to Patrick on an island in the south pacific, Teresa said that she wasn't leaving California. Grace and Wayne went in last smiling, but not for long
'I sense that the two of you are very close, but I sense something that is going to test you to the limit, something of surprise is on the way, so hold close, and be strong and prepared' the teller spoke
'What sort of thing?' Grace asked
'I am not sure, but it is big, so be prepared to put up a fight, that is all I can see'
'Ok, thanks for your time' Grace said, walking out
'She just couldn't say anything happy, could she?' Wayne said
'What if she is right?' Grace asked
'She isn't, she is a carnie fortune teller, she cost $5, and it's fortune teller law to tell someone that they are in grave danger' he said, trying to lighten the mood
'Ok, if you are sure' Grace said, braving a smile
They went back to the others and shared the fact that they were in danger with the others, getting a hearty laugh out of Patrick as well
'Patrick' Hayley said, tugging at his jean leg
'Yes Hayley?' he said, bending down to the child's height
'I wanna go on the Ferris wheel' she said
'You wanna go now?'
'Yes please!'
'Ok, but last ride, then we have to go home'
'Ok, come on everyone, we are going on the fewis wheel!' she said, running ahead with Kyle
'This is the last ride?' Grace asked Patrick
'As I just said to Hayley, yes it is, I have a taxi ready for us out the front in half an hour'
'Great, well, what are we waiting for?' Grace said pulling Wayne along with her as she ran ahead
They boarded the Ferris wheel and felt it go round as the wind whipped against their faces. The ride was coming to a stop when a loud crack sounded, and everything went to a stop
'What the hell was that?' Wayne demanded
'I'm not sure, but whatever it was, it didn't sound good' Grace answered
The ride had stopped with Grace and Wayne on one side of the top, and Teresa and Patrick on the other side at the top, Hayley and Kyle sat just below Grace and Wayne, and were swinging their seat. Grace observed the fair ground, it spread for miles, rides everywhere. She could see the mountains off in the distance and the general area where they were staying. She was getting lost in the scenery, when she heard light whimpering coming from behind her, where Teresa sat shaking.
'Teresa, what is wrong?' Grace asked
'I hate heights' she muttered
Grace cringed, if Teresa hated heights, and they were stuck at the top of a Ferris wheel, this wasn't going to end well at all.
A/N scared Teresa is going to be fun to write =] I should be back to normal with updating by wensday, so yea.... reviews are good... no idea how that relates to updating haha =]
