(This is in the past where they were in cages and held hostage!In this AU Columbina just died,didn't get eaten or anything,just died.)

The room was dark,cold,almost dead except for the five monsters that were there,5 cages,each one for each monster,the strongest one,Pierrot,was in a small but wide cage,his soft golden eyes glowed in the dark room with his costume while he was sitting down in the cage,looking down at the floor with emptiness,he was facing Ticket Taker that was on the other side of room.

Ticket Taker,the shortest one and probably the weakest,was also sitting down,silent as ever as he waited for the torture to come and face them again and again. His white eye from his mask glowed in the darkness as well parts of him too under the light of the lamp in the middle of the room that barely did shit.

Doctor was next to Ticket Taker,in the corner and his cage was the biggest because he was tall,his light mint blue circles as eyes shined in the room,he was standing up,leaning against the cage's metal bars while looking down.

In the middle of the room were two glowing green sharp eyes,that was Harlequin who was silently overthinking over and over again while holding his head with his hands tightly,his green and black figure was visible enough to be seen.

On Harlequin's right was the last one,Jester,his purple eyes flickering in the light from time to time,he was standing up too but was facing the wall because he was ashamed of how foolish they were to get in a trap like this.

Minutes later.

The man that held them hostage came in the room,he looked angry that he didn't get enough money from their performance and he was very aggressive.

Man: "You useless monsters!!Only 1000 dollars today?!That's it,no food for today again!You will starve until I get the money I want!" (He said with aggression,throwing a knife at Harlequin specifically and it stabbed Harlequin's shoulder so badly he screamed and almost collapsed.

Harlequin: "P-porra...-!" ('Fuck' in Portuguese.)

Ticket Taker: "HARLEQUIN!!" (He yelled with worry(they all see themselves as family here).

Jester was gripping the bar stools hard enough to leave marks while Doctor and Pierrot were frozen in place,they desperately wanted to help Harlequin but they all knew they were next if they said any other thing so they all went quiet as Harlequin was tearing up and the man kept yelling at all of them.

The next day was even worse..

All of them were in the cages again,but this time everything was more horrible than ever,the man got only 920 dollars today..the man was extremely furious,he even got Ticket Taker out of his cage,chained him down and started beating him up while Jester and Pierrot screamed for him to stop,Harlequin was yelling and crying at the same time while Doctor was trying to get out to save Ticket Taker,but the metal bars were too strong.

Pierrot: (He knew he wasn't supposed to talk but was screaming at the man furiously to stop.) "STOP!!STOP HURTING HIM!!"

Jester: (He was already crying too.) "NO NO NO NO NO NO!!TICKET TAKER!!"

Doctor: (He was punching,kicking,doing everything in his power to break free save Ticket Taker.)

Ticket Taker was almost not moving now as the man even kept beating him while laughing at Ticket Taker's and the other's pain.
