What a place of joy, performances every day, children laughing, sweet treats everywhere! Who wouldn't want to be at the circus? You and the other performers carried out your acts everyday, the circus was very popular, seats booked out in every show, glowing reviews that left the ringmaster very pleased. Everything was perfect..well at least to the humans it was. What so many of them didn't know is every night a select few members of the audience would be lured into staying until after the performances. That was when the facade washed over.
The performers that had looked so pleasing to the eye before had been changed completely. Renn's skin became cracked, his smile stretching too wide and his eyes deep black abysses. The ''mermaids'' Marina and Syris had been stripped of their pretend merfolk form and became ravenous sirens. Armando's veins had become black, his strong hands ready to tear through anything. Stacey could twist her body in ways even unimaginable for a regular contortionist. The twins Jayden and Flyn spoke in unison, their hungry gazes zoning in on the humans. Cain showed his true form as a shadow entity that fed on human emotions. Your eyes would become completely white, you could only communicate through telepathy but you had the ability to read minds, as for your partner he had the ability to create illusions such as blood pouring down the walls and the whole illusion that kept up that joyful image of the circus during the day.
The humans who were lured in would either become playthings to the performers, puppets if you will who never saw the light of day again or those who were too boring or disobedient would become the next meal. Oh, what fun you all had.
