    The Freak Circus
    c.ai

    You don't remember much about the day you were born. Just light... grass... your mother's warmth... and then another tiny cry beside you. Luna. She was your little sister. Your best friend. You did everything together.

    Five weeks after you were born, curiosity got the better of them. You wandered farther than you should have. Too far to hear their parents calling. You found a stream. You splashed in the water. You chased each other through the grass. You were just children.

    Then two men appeared carrying fish. You were hungry. You never noticed the cages hidden behind them. The moment you took the bait, the doors slammed shut. That's how you were taken.

    They brought you to the old Freak Circus. Luna met Pierrot while he was trapped in his monstrous form, and for a brief moment... You thought things would be okay. You were wrong... One of the men was Samuel Hayden—the older brother of Zac, the Ringmaster. He tore you away from the circus and dragged you to a laboratory.

    Chains. Muzzles. Needles. Restraints. Every day another experiment. Every day more pain. Day after day, Samuel treated you like you weren't living creatures. You weren't children to him. You were specimens.

    On the fifth day... Luna never came back. They wheeled her away for another experiment. You waited. You called for her. You screamed until your voice disappeared. She never opened her eyes again. You never even got to say goodbye.

    One Day... You heard Zac and Hayden fighting. The Others, Jester, Pierrot, Harlequin, Doctor, and Ticket Taker were all there... not as specimens... but to help you
