A.N. so yeah for those of you reading my other fanfic Life with the Freaks than you would know that I had asked about this fanfic of whether or not I should type it now or wait and there was one person Ampire8 who said to type this with the request that I not forget about the other one and seeing as how I updated that one a while ago I think you don't need to worry about that. But other than that I just wanted to tell you that Mia and Victoria will no longer be found at the cirque just for the purpose of making room for more OC's but they will show up later in the fic. Other than that I hope you enjoy this idea. ^.^

Disclaimer: I do not own the plot of Cirque du freak nor the characters

Chapter 1

Tears were streaming down my face as I watched the orange haired man plummet to the terrifying stakes below after letting go of the spiked chain wrapped around the boy who I had called 'friend' this entire time. A voice that sounded on the verge of tears escaped my mouth as I yelled out his name, the name that I have grown so use to after all these years through thick and thin this man had my back and now I could only stand and watch as he fell my voice having no power to stop his decent.

"Mr. Crepsley!"

I ran to the edge tears streaming down my face knowing full well the state that he would be in. My knees crumpled beneath me as I reached the edge of the deep pit, tears cascading down my cheeks. I cried out his name over and over again and suddenly my shoulders where being violently shaken, I turned around but the edges of the scene seemed to be blurring before my eyes, and even my friends appeared to be disappearing before my very eyes.

I reached out not wanting to be alone in this painful time of loss but it seemed that as I reached out further and further my friends and even the purple skinned monsters were receding further and further into the dark abyss that usually came after something like this happened.

I was starring at the white ceiling of my bed room my mothers worried gaze looming over me as she ran a comforting hand through my hair bringing a gentle hand across my cheek wiping the still flowing tears that usually followed my back from the dreams. The image of the man still going through my head and even though I still couldn't make out his face it still hurt when I thought back to the pit of stakes and his yells of pain as he landed and passed away.

I sat up in bed and clung to my mother as tears continued to flow and as she moved her hand from my hair to my back and whispered sweetly in my ear that it would be okay and that is was just a dream, but the second part couldn't be true because it was to real to be a dream and I keep telling her this but she just continues insisting that it was just a dream and that it was all going to be okay.

I looked to my bedside table and located my red rimmed glasses and then my pencil and notebook no longer paying attention to my mother as her she continued to try and comfort me as I went about writing the scenes of the dream so as not to forget when I visited my shrink. Tears freely falling onto the pages that I wrote in like many times before.

As I placed the note book back at its place on my bedside table, and got up to get ready for school My mother grabbed a hold of my baggy pajama sleeve stopping me in my tracks.

"If you want sweetie you can skip school today and call in sick."

She offered just like many times before but like before I just pretended that I didn't hear it and reached into my closet for one of the clean pairs of sweat pants and a spaghetti strap to wear under one of my fathers sweat shirts that I would always wear when I was younger, and now wore non stop after he passed away.

I opened the door gesturing for my mother to leave so that I could get dressed and after that made my way downstairs for breakfast. In the dinning room the twins, Selby and Addison, were already digging into their breakfast. At my entrance Selby (the louder of the two) looked up and began talking even though her mouth was still full of scrambled eggs.

Eggs flew across the table as she spoke and I couldn't understand her all I heard was gibberish so I told her to swallow first before she tried to speak again and choke herself. With that she swallowed and spoke.

"Addison and I heard you screaming again, was it another dream?" Addison slowly nodded in agreement as she took another bite of her toast, I didn't answer and just sat down making myself a plate grabbing eggs from a dish at the center of the table, as the twins continued to stare.

I adjust my glasses and take a look at the clock seeing that I am going to be late if I don't hurry up, with that I finish off the rest of my eggs and race to find our mother not up to walking the six blocks that I would need to, to get to school. I walked into the hallway and found her just hanging up the phone, she turned with a smile like she was trying to hide something.

"Are you ready sweetie?" I slowly nodded, wondering who it was she was talking to on the phone moments before I entered the room. Mom called out to the twins telling them that she would be back after dropping me off and with that I grabbed my shoulder bag on my way out and got into the front seat of my mothers car.

During the trip the atmosphere of the car was suffocating to say the least both of us sitting in silence wanting to say something but not knowing what to say. Luckily the trip to school wasn't that long and before I knew it the car was parked in the back parking lot and my mom was telling me to have a good day. As I opened the car door and was about to shut my mom reached over and grabbed a hold of my wrist.

"Sweetie I called your shrink and she said she could pick you up for an appointment after school." I stared at her not really knowing what to say, but after standing for awhile I finally found my voice.

"But my next appointment isn't till next week!" I exclaimed as I pulled my wrist out of her grip, my mom looked like she wanted to yell back but she never yelled at me, not after dad died.

"I know but it has been awhile since you reacted like this to one of those dreams, so I thought that this would help you." I turned away and saw in the distance my small group of friends and remembered that Jaiden had a basketball game tonight right after school that I said I would watch. I turned back to my mom.

"Sorry mom but I promised Jaiden I would watch her basketball game tonight." Her eyes then showed an emotion that I haven't really seen in them before and then she spoke.

"Brook I know you like hanging out with Jaiden," She paused thinking about how to word the next part and then continued. " but I just don't think she is a good influence on you." She stated as if that made complete sense. I stared at her, mouth open, tying to figure out how Jaiden was ever a bad influence on me.

I couldn't think of anything bad about her other than her mood swings but if you knew how to handle them it wasn't that bad and so instead of fighting back I slammed the car door and stormed off to my group of friends, well aware that my mother was watching my every move from where she was parked.

Jaiden, Taylor, and Brett all turned when Taylor pointed out that I was making my way over and they began racing over to me, almost like each of them had something important to tell me. Jaiden practically tackled me which was surprising considering the fact that she was wearing heels, while Taylor stopped about a foot away showing off her almost prize winning smile that she only showed off to her closest friends, and Brett slowly made his way over always looking to the side always afraid of being caught off guard or tackled.

Something caught my eye, the fact that Brett had his hands in his pocket surprised me considering the fact that he always had his hands out so he was ready to try and fight back or incase she fell or was pushed so that he could catch himself. Just as I was about to ask him what was in his pocket the bell rang and Jaiden started pushing me inside.

Brett had to pick up his pace in order to keep up, and just before we got caught up in the funnel of the doors Brett was able to catch up and spoke low enough for me Jaiden and Taylor to hear but no one else.

"I have something I want to show you during first hour."

And with that I lost him as we went separate ways to our lockers.
