Lightning Doesn't Strike Twice!

Chapter 35

Becky and I arrived at the same time as Micah did. She was getting out of her uncle's truck and walking over to the back hatch to unload the equipment and baked goods.

" I can help you out, what do you need me to grab?"

"Oh Kaysi, do you think you feel up to the task I don't want you to take things too far?"

"It's my memory that's not quite right not my muscles." I laughed at her.

"You're right go ahead and grab these couple of stacks of cupcakes. You can start by taking them over to the table that Becky is setting up."

"Aya aye captain"

"I'm glad to see that she's in good spirits. I hate that that accident caused her to lose her memory but it should return soon that I am quite hopeful for." I overheard Micah's uncle talking 

"Thank you Uncle I certainly appreciate your kindness. I have high hopes for her too. And at least she kept her personality Micah joked"

"Becky, where would you like me to place these items? I can see you haven't gotten the table up yet I can help you with that?" I offered her.

"Yeah, that is fine. Put them with the boxes over there in the corner with the other boxes. It's just this one leg it doesn't want to lock I hate these folding tables."

"What? It says here all you have to do is just push and pull. (-Click-) and there you go!"

"I swear I was doing that for the last 5 minutes I probably loosened it for you," Becky said laughing and looking at the table still questioning what she did wrong.

"Everybody is dressed up and in cute costumes. I feel a little bit underdressed"

"That's just because we're working right now. But you're more than welcome to take a walk around and check some things out."

"Hey guys how have you been a woman said as she walked up to the vendor table"

There was a woman who looked familiar dressed as a fluffy dog character. " who are you I asked"

"Why Kaysi this is one of our teachers from school Baby."

"Oh I thought you kind of looked familiar I love your costume"

"Oh it's good to see that a part of your mind still remembers me" " I was just fixing to head over towards the South wing to check some of the other vendors out. I overheard that you were going to walk around a little bit. I could come with you and be your chaperone seeing as I am your teacher"

"Yes, actually I would rather quite enjoy that. Since I'm not quite familiar with my surroundings."

"This is my uncle's first year of doing the carnival with the three of us. So this is actually a completely new experience for all of us officially Micah chimed in."

"I have to disagree Uncle interrupted! One time when you were about 5 years old I specifically remember you eating probably half a dozen of cupcakes by yourself."

"Oh, uncle that doesn't count I was just a kid and don't remember any of that." Micah laughed with her uncle.

Walking around with Baby I could see that they were just fairly starting to set up. It was early enough in the morning that the lights were barely starting to shine through the windows as the sun rose.

"Maybe we should start heading back and wait for them to officially set up more. Baby said as she gently pushed my shoulders guiding me in the other direction. We started to move relatively fast I couldn't understand why. "We can still check out what all they have to offer so far"

"No I think we should head back they're going to need our help. She said as she pushed me again in the other direction"

"I understand you're my chaperone and all but you're acting as though we're trying to protect me from something. Why are you in such a hurry to leave from here," I questioned her.

"Let's just say this is a scary part of the Carnival and I don't want you to get scared as your memories are still fragile."

I feel as though she was lying trying to cover something up. As we were walking she was texting something relatively fast to another person. I started to tell that her demeanor was changing. Something was bothering her something was off but she must have sensed or seen.

"Baby if there's anything you would like to tell me you can. Is there something that you're scared of"

"Yeah actually I don't like dogs they scare me really bad. Besides we made it to the end of the hall anyway I just didn't want to go any further towards them. So there's nothing left to see let's head back."

The person down at the end of the hall had a large white Great Pyrenees and a black Belgium shepherd.

I hardly doubt her explanation especially seeing as she's already dressed like a dog. "I have to ask you a question, I said with hesitance not wanting to upset her."

"Sure but can't we wait until we get back to the other group? We did kind of leave them right as they were beginning to set up there's still a lot to do and we're running out of time" Baby she grabbed my hand and started to run.

"Okay, this is getting ridiculous," I said after running a few feet I pulled my hand away from Baby.

"I don't know what you're not trying to tell me" but I don't think it's a great idea that I go running god knows where with you." " I may have memory issues but this is certainly not the path that we took to get here" our friends is in the other direction towards the north wing"

"Look at those things" Baby nodded towards the approaching dogs. You are still too fragile to endure this potentially hazardous situation. That I am trying to get you out of you're just going to have to trust me," She said as she pulled me harder down the hall.

I was then I noticed the dogs approaching us the white great Pyrenees had gotten off leash and I was running in our direction. He didn't seem hostile at all just an average dog.

"Oh, that's what you're scared of again the dog. Because it's a big large fluff ball that doesn't mean nothing those types of dogs are usually gentle giants."

Has it got closer I kneeled to try and grab its collar I'm sure the owner was not far behind trying to retrieve his dog.

"I don't think that's a great idea baby said."

"You are dressed up as a dog but you're definitely afraid of them you're just crazy."

" let's just say I have a sixth sense about these things if I don't trust it neither should you."

"I'm actually pretty good with animals that's one of those things I can remember," I said as I leaned over grabbing the leash of the white great Pyrenees that was wagging its tail.

"See no harm done. Now we just got to wait for the owner to come back and collect his dog. Look at this big fluffy baby he probably just wanted to come over and say hello"

All of a sudden baby grabbed a hold of me and yanked me with unnatural strength away from the dog.

"Okay, I guess I have no choice we're going to do this here now then. I just hope the girls catch up quickly. Baby shouted"

Baby bent down on all 4's to the ground into an attack mode position almost like a dog. Her ears seemed to come to life. I was shocked to see they were not a costume. And she growled at the white great Pyrenees that stand before us.

My attention was drawn to her at that moment. But when I looked up over at the Great Pyrenees his once pale blue eyes turned to Eerie golden yellow. He licked the side of his cheek as though he was preparing for a snack. He bared three tongues and extra fangs. Unlike any dog I've ever seen. A new Great Pyrenees for his known to have some genetic defects like having extra toes. But there was something different and unnatural about this thing.

"Baby?" I said with shaking and hesitation in my voice.
