Chapter 3, Verse 2

I ran out of the closet with the jumpsuit and a jacket, and that is when it all really hit me. I was completely overwhelmed by all the lights, the neon, the bells, and buzzers, and carnival sounds, music, streamers, more lights, more neon. Screaming kids running around everywhere. The smell of burnt food and sugary treats, mixed with a humid sweat from all the denizens crammed into the area. I tried to get my bearings. What the hell was all this?! Images moved and danced around from box to box. Lights and colors jumped and spun around every single object in the room. I backed up into something that beeped at me loudly in response. More kids ran by with light up toys and food and drinks. This IS a carnival! Strangest carnival I have ever seen!

I turned around and was completely taken aback by what I saw. A mirror on the wall...

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh shit! Pretty sure I actually said it out loud.

I am a kid! No, no, no, no, nononononon. What is this?

DEMONBALL!!

I didn't even formulate a question and turned the ball over, fixated mostly on my reflection.

"Coins are for fun"

Before I could digest what it meant I was grabbed from behind. "Hey, kid! What were you doing back there? Where did you get that jacket? Where are your parents?"

Parents?! What? I tried to run but they gripped in. "Agggggghhhhhhhh!" I screeched in response. He pulled me over and shoved me down into a greasy booth with a table. I noticed his shirt said security at this point. Great, right away I am in trouble. He waved over someone else wearing a nice suit.
They both started yelling at me, telling me I don't belong in there, and when they find my parents then I'll be in trouble. I was not really listening to them, more focused on the surroundings. Where is my brother?

Someone yelled out angrily "Golden!!" I did not recognize the voice. It startled me a bit, so I turned quickly, with my captors following suit. A woman walked up and started yelling as well. "What the hell were you doing?!" The security person began to speak. I stood up and tried to explain, but they didn't seem to be listening. I yelled out "HEY! WHAT THE HELL IS THIS SHIT?!" The woman reached out and backhanded me with a good upswing. Ooooof! "What was that?" I continued to protest. "Shut it MISTER!!" She yelled sternly at me. Enough to make the other two denizens cringe. "I see you have this under control." They nodded at each other and walked away. I started to walk away with them when she grabbed me by the back of my neck and hair. (Hair?! That's new). I lurched back.
"I don't know where you think you are going. You are in big trouble. Once we find your dad.."

Dad?!
