CHAPTER EIGHT

            Lisa hopped lightly onto Nightmare’s back and waited for Jonathan to do the same.  Jonathan was not used to riding a horse bare back let alone at a gallop. They reached the Town Square just in time. Crazy Magic Mike (as the kids call him) was once the King’s court jester, Now he just entertained the children of the town.

            “Hey! De show is about to begin.” He called from his seat under a large weeping willow. Lisa and Jonathan put aside their troubles and became lost in the story of a pompous baker. When he came to the scary parts Max would do a trick that he was known far and wide for. He would cover his head with his black cloak and let the sun reflect off his eyes that would sparkle. His eyes were an odd color they were not a brown but they were not a blue his eyes had all the colors of the rainbow in them. Soon the story was over and he started to do tricks like juggling and back flips and on and on until it was about time for sunset. All the kids thanked him for the good time and left. Mike just smiled in response and put on his black cape. Lisa and Jonathan left and went home, Lisa on Nightmare, and Jonathan by foot.

            Many weeks passed and the Black Where became more aggressive in it’s attacks. All the girls were afraid of the night. Most of the girls had gone to the asylum for safety. The asylum lies at the edge of the town.
