Cirque Du Freak

Chapter 1

"Darren! Get back here!" shouted the mysterious monster trailing behind him.

"No! What are you?" Darren darted back.

Just then Darren rounded the corner and ran into the monster. As Darren fell everything seemed to go in slow motion. He noticed this monster was about eight feet tall and probably weighed about four hundred pounds. The monster also had dark purple skin and fangs like a werewolf, and pointy elf ears.

"How did you move that fast?" Darren asked.

"Oh Darren I believe you know the answer to that." The monster replied in a tone that made him seem friendly.

"How do you know my name?" Darren interrogated.

"How could I not?" The monster replied.

"What?" Darren asked suspiciously.

"Hah! You should have seen your face when I came up on you!" replied a familiar voice.

"Darn it! Steve! Why did you have to do that?" Darren asked in an angered tone.

"Cause I knew you would fall for it, duh." Steve responded casually.

"Ok, then how did you go so fast?" Darren responded to his answer.

"Hah, I got your sister to help me for ten dollars." Steve answered in satisfactory.

"Ok… How did you get so tall?" Darren asked not so scared anymore.

"That part was hard I've been planning this out for about three months now, and I made legs out of wood that work regularly." Replied Steve.

"Ok you win." Darren quit.
