"So how do we get in?" Taehyung asked as they stood across from the fair, out of the street lights. It was pitch black inside, but a faint light was coming from the centre; Hana assumed it was the carousel.

"Over the fence," Jimin said, nodding towards the side of the fair, "Down that side, it's dark and people are only there during the day,"

"Hana won't be able to jump the fence," Taehyung argued, "There has to be another way!"

Before she could speak up, Jimin answered, "Then we help her do it, obviously. Come on, follow me,"

Taehyung and Hana glanced at each other before following Jimin across the road and down the shadowy path that led to the side of the fair that he wanted to get in on. As this part was fully on the clearing in front of the forest, there was no pathway or lights, so it was extremely dark. Hana felt herself clinging to Taehyungs arm in fear of falling, and he seemed equally as nervous. Jimin, however, walked confidently but quietly until he found a piece of fence that seemed like the best place to jump.

"Here," he said, "I'll go first, the Taehyung you give Hana a boost. I'll catch her on the other side, then you go,"

Both Taehyung and Hana nodded and Jimin turned back to the fence. He jumped, reaching up with his hands to grab the top of the fence before easily pulling himself up and vaulting over the top to the other side.

"He did that so easily," Taehyung muttered, "Makes you wonder how often he's broken into places that he shouldn't be,"

"It's clear," Jimin's voice was soft and barely audible, but Taehyung sighed and moved to the fence, crouching a little with his fingers interlocked in front of him.

"I'll boost you, come on,"

Hana put her hands on the fence and put one foot on Taehyung's hands, "Jump,"

She did as she was told, pushing off the ground with her other foot as he forced her up into the air. She wasn't expecting his push to be so strong, and barely grabbed the top of the fence as she reached it. However, she lost her balance and fell forwards into the fair, a gasp tearing out of her throat in place of a shriek.

"I got ya," Jimin's strong arms wrapped around her before she hit the floor, helping her balance before letting her go.

"Thank you," She muttered, standing up and stepping away from him as Taehyung came over the top of the fence.

"This way," Jimin said, not even waiting to see if they had caught their breath, "It's already eleven thirty, we need to move fast-"

"What the hell are you doing here?!"

A surprised voice behind them had them all spinning to face the other direction, and in the dim light they couldn't even see who it was. Taehyung, however, recognised the voice.

"Hoseok?"

"Taehyung? You shouldn't be here! Especially after dark, I told you not to bring her here!"

"She didn't leave me much choice," Taehyung said, "They're convinced that there's something wrong with the carousel,"

At the mention of the word carousel, Hana's mind was suddenly filled with images of the beautiful unicorns, and the wonderful sounds that floated through the air. She turned back, facing towards the centre of the fair where she knew it was waiting for her.

"They're not wrong," Hoseok snapped, "It's dangerous in here, you need to go!"

"I'm not leaving," Jimin growled, grabbing Hana's wrist as she took a step away from them, "Hana is caught up in its spell, and I want to know what happened to my girl!"

Hoseok shook his head, "It's not safe," He insisted, "You have to go-"

"Where is she?!" Jimin interrupted him, "Where is Bee?"

The fair worker frowned, "Bee?" He said, "I don't know a Be-" He cut himself off with wide eyes, "You mean Beau?" His eyes widened, "No," He shook his head again, "No, she's his favourite, you can't even go near her when she's-"

"When she's what?!" Jimin let go of Tam and grabbed Hoseok's shirt, "Tell me!"

"When she's human," Hoseok said, "When she's human, the boss will kill anyone for even talking to her. She's his favourite,"

Jimin's eyes filled with tears and he let go of the worker's shirt, "I knew she was still alive," He whispered, "I knew it,"

"What's with that carousel?" Hana whispered, taking another step away from them, "It's like I can feel it..."

Hoseok moved around the two men and grabbed her by her upper arms, swinging her around to face Jimin and Taehyung. He gave her a little push, "Take her out of here. She can't be here,"

"I'm not leaving," Hana argued, "I want to know what's going on,"

"And I'm not leaving without Bee," Jimin snapped.

"Hoseok, please explain what's going on," Taehyung begged, "I don't understand any of this,"

Hoseok sighed, "Fine. Follow me," He checked his watch, "We have ten minutes until we're all called to the carousel. He.. He likes to make us watch. I'll explain the best I can,"
