and don’t let the ghoulies bite.”
Sheridan laughed. “I’ll meet up with you kids later on. I can’t wait to meet Roxas.”
Dakota elbowed me in the ribs. “I know, right? Mr. Mystery man finally revealed to all of us.”
The secret sister hip bump handshake commenced. Tonight was a night of celebration.
I snapped my fingers. “I get it! You put that song on my iPod playlist this morning. How long have you two been planning this?”
They grinned big stupid cheesy teeth at me. Sheridan ignored my question.
“Let’s plan on meeting at midnight over by the insane asylum, all right?” Sheridan pointed towards the haunted house. “That’s where we’re set up to monitor the cameras from all over the park.”
“Seriously?” I whined .
“I hate that haunted house. It’s the worst. They always have people in cages who come out after you. Couldn’t we have monitored the cameras from the Dr. Seuss Kiddie World or something?”
Again with the cheesy grins.
“Okay – we’ll be there.” I put on my best go get ‘em face. “Right now I need to find a bathroom.”
“Laters.” Sheridan waved and settled back down into her attack mode.
I had the coolest sisters on the planet. Weird, and not a lot of common sense, but definitely cool.
Dakota grabbed onto Ludovic, and Edric walked on the other side of his brother. “Yeah, we’re gonna go check out the zombie parade. Love those deaders.” Dakota winked at me. I knew what she meant to hook up with the dead guy.
I looked at my watch. “I have about forty-five minutes before meeting Roxas, so I’m gonna walk to the back of the park.”
“Hey, sweetie, why don’t you go freshen up in the ladies room and buy a bottle of water or something. You look like the reaper has come to take you away.” Dakota put her hand on my arm and squeezed. “You need to keep relaxing and breathe. You’re having fun. He loves you and you love him. Just remember that.”
She hugged me and even with that kind reassurance, there was still this overwhelming feeling growing deeper in the pit of my stomach. My life was seriously about to change and I hoped it was for the better. I that tonight, of all nights, my old recurring dream from childhood about the Red Man didn’t come true.

Chapter Nine
Screepy Caverns
M arveling at the lengths the Halloween horror freaks went into detail of their costumes, I was reminded of how people dressed their avatars in ExsanguiNation.
Many people dressed in ragged clothing with dime store makeup to fit in as grisly ghoulies. My attention was drawn to these strange humanoid creatures with glowing eyes. They had white makeup on half of their bodies and black makeup on the other half as if they were adult harlequin dolls. I expected to see other party goers dressed in Venetian masks following these captivatingly quirky characters.
Women dressed in everything, from Renaissance ball gowns, to a ribbon, a feather, and a smile. Belly dancers seduced onlookers, wrapped in both shimmering scarves and live snakes. Eerie calliope music played off-key around me, making me wonder if this was an inauspicious carny dream or something worse. My mind enjoyed the overload of the warped scenery, but my eyes kept telling me to scream and run.
The music made my head swoon. I pushed my way through the wall of gory creatures. Screams pierced through the crowd. Several angels ran past me as they were chased by a band of frolicking demons.
I looked for the bathroom rest area in the dinosaur park. The fog didn’t help in finding the bathroom, but the shrill cries of the tropical birds in covert speakers tested the bladder control.
Desperate to freshen up before meeting Rox, I didn’t feel my best after the sister tree attack. I walked along a main thoroughfare, over the water bridge into the back half of the park closer to the log flume ride. There was a bathroom rest area with seating which should be
