(I OWN NOTHING!)

INTRO

It seemed like years my father waited for me to become special, an oddity like the rest of the family, I didn't though, I was completely normal with no abilities no talents. My older sister Sarah she the golden girl of my family's eye, I love her but it's torturous to be near her sometimes. My father runs a freak show in Venice, California 'Mr. Tall's oddities show of freaks' it is named. And everyone there is unique, beautiful in their own way but I'm just a prop nothing more. I was like every other person who came and brought a ticket to the show I am no freak.

TWO YEARS LATER

"Danny!" Sarah yelped laughing. He picked her from the ground tight in his arms kissing her neck like a pig.

I huff under my breath from their over public affection.

"Sarah" I moan. "We've got to get a move on it" I tell her.

She rolls her eyes at me and I do the same to her. I lock my luggage trunk and pick it up walking out of the room. I heard there feet fallowing, the skirt of my dress ruffled as I walked fast and my heels click on the ground. I focused in on those sounds ignoring the sounds of Sarah and Danny laughing together. We almost didn't make it to the bus stop before the buses departure as the doors closed I ran to the door and held my hand up getting the drivers attention I smile sweetly as he reopens the doors.

"Thank you" I tell him.

His smile was sweet as I walked up the steps till Sarah and Danny were in his view then he eyed us again and put his head to the road. I sigh and walk down the row of seats trying to find any empty ones, keeping my head down as all eyes were on us. Near the back we sat Sarah and Danny hold on to each other giggling. I kept my nose in my book reading The Great Gatsby drowning out all others I let my mind fantasize about a beautiful man swooping in, saving me from this Carney life and taking me to the glittery upper-class world. As I thought of the lovely gowns and expensive glittery jewelry I wanted to cry knowing that will never be me but before I had any more thought in to it I was throw out of my head as I assume we drove over a pothole.

"Ouch!" I whimper as my arm hits the side of the bus.

After another few hours we finally made it to our destination, Jupiter, Florida. Getting off at the bus stop night fall was calling to take the sky as the colors changed and the sun was fading.

"This is gonna be good" Sarah claim.

I just roll my eyes.

"Yeah babe it is" Danny said biting her ear.

"Ew" I mutter walking ahead of them.

We walked through the whole town it was pretty I wouldn't mind living here it seemed so happy and colorful. As we made it to a dirt road Danny informed us we only had another three to four miles to go. Sarah moaned but I kept quiet, I'd rather be walking down this dirt road then be at the freak show. The moon was out completely and nothing lit the road but the much spaced out street lights, eventually though I started to see the carnival lights and hear the noise of the show. By the time I made my way to the front entrance of the place it seemed the show was over.

"Shows over sorry, come back tomorrow" a young man said.

He is fairly attractive with light brown hair curled in the center of his head letting his hair rest a little of his forehead, big round eyes I can't tell the color in this light but dark definitely.

"Oh, I'm not here for the show" I tell him.

He smiled wondering what I was doing here. His smile has innocent and charming I haven't seen a smile quite like his. In return I smile, it would be rude not to.

"What are you here for then?" His innocent smile disappeared leaving behind a perverted one instead.

I look behind me wondering how much faster did I walk then Sarah and Danny they should have caught up by now, unless they found my absence a great opportunity to get close to one another.

"A job"

"Job?"

He eyed my body up and down looking for any obvious deformity finding none he narrows his eyes at me.

"Unless there's something under your dress I don't think you're cut out to work here" he laughs.

I just sigh.

"What are ya? A runaway or something?" he questions me.

"No, not a runaway" I say lowly.

"Then you should go home to your pretty family" his voice seemed hurt and spiteful.

"Don't have anywhere to go" I laugh darkly. "I'm not any runaway I've got nothing to runaway from" I tell him. "I don't have a pretty family to go home to and yeah I'm looking for a job just recently quit my old one at a freak show in North Carolina" my voice was stern, hurt.

We stood there in silence I was shivering under the cold air he seemed use to it though hardly ever moved. After awhile I finally heard Sarah and Danny as soon as the young man saw them walking up he yelled out to them.

"Shows over!" His voice raspy, angry.

I seemed to really upset him. Finally Sarah and Danny walked in to the light and stood next to me. His eyes widened and sighed.

"Hi, Sarah!" She announced happily greeting herself.

"We were lookin for a job heard you might have some open spots?" Danny asked the young man.

"You'll have to talk to Elsa Mars" he explained. "I'll show you to her tent" he said leading the way.

We walked around the tent with the demon clown mouth entrance till we were in the middle of the camp, I already knew which tent he was taking us to, it was large the largest of them all and it the best condition.

"Elsa there's some people here to see you" the young man says to the woman inside the tent.

I wonder a bit off not hearing the rest of the conversation between the young man and the woman but I did see Sarah and Danny go inside. A few fire pits were set up with people around them not many though, most are probably asleep or inside a very well lit tent I see off in the distance were there was much noise coming from. I keep walking with my hands around my chest using my peripheral vision to see who's approaching as I hear footsteps running up to me it was the same young man.

"Yes?" I ask.

"Sorry I thought you were some runaway looking for glamour" he apologized.

I just laugh. If I was looking for the glamour in life and the glitter I truly want, I wouldn't be here.

"I've been in the shows long enough to know there's no glamour" I laugh darkly.

"Yeah" he nodded.

"It's alright" I reassure him.

He smiled finally feeling better about his past actions towards me.

"Jimmy, Jimmy darling" he says.

I smile to him. He has a beautiful name.

"Bonnie Tall" I greet him offering my hand.

He was reluctant to take my hand then eventually he removes his right hand from his pocket to shake mine. I didn't jump nor did his hands scare me I've seen too many things is my life time to be startled by a little deformity of the hands.

"So what can you do Bonnie?" He asks smiling large at me.

"Not much" I laugh. "I'm just along for the ride, it's my sister who's special, talented" I say trying to keep envy out of my voice.

He narrowed his eyes to me.

"Nothing?" He asks.

"I've learned a few things to keep useful" I tell him. "But I'm not a true oddity"

"That was your sister?" He asks.

I nod.

"But you're not deformed in any way?" He seemed blow away.

I shake my head.

I've had always had a hard time talking about this, my whole family was different in one way or another but I'm not, I'm just average to the world.

"What are you doing here then?" His voice was shaky.

I laugh. "I am staying with my family" I tell him.

"But your normal" he mutters under his breath confused.

"Bonnie!" Sarah shouts excited waving her hand to me waving me over.

I walked over to her. She was jumping on Danny kissing him all over.

"We've got the job!"

I smile.

NEXT MORNING

I exited the tent fully dressed hair and makeup done in a yellow skirt and pink button up top tucked in the sleeves stops at my shoulders not covering any of my arms with white socks with lace trim and my White and black Oxford shoes. My dirty blonde hair was curled up in a high ponytail the ends of my hair touching the middle of my back and my makeup perfectly done, long black lashes, a pink tone on my lips and cheeks and painted on brows. I use to be so upset my eyebrows were long and arched wishing to have ones like the great actresses thin and round but I soon realized my brows could be my own style and started to box them making them perfect and thinker then most. As I stepped out of my tent I saw the camp in the sun light making everything look so homey everyone walked around most with smiles on their faces doing normal everyday things. It reminds me of home of our old freak show.

"Dad" I mutter feeling his loss in my heart.

Soon I saw Jimmy standing under a large canopy were some are having breakfast. He seemed to be looking at me, staring at me. I walk over there give a wary smile to him the corners of his mouth turn up but not enough to be a smile not even close.

"Hi Jimmy" I say still with a wary smile.

"Hi" his voice was rude and cut short.

I know this attitude, I am always greeted like this once they realize I have no deformities no talents no oddities when they realize I'm just a pretty face in the wrong place. I look down to the floor as his eyes burn in my skin.

"Have you seen my sister or Danny?" I ask.

I want to flee from his sight but I want to know where to flee to first.

"Yeah there in the main tent trying to come up with an act" he tells me.

His hands sink in to his pockets trying to hind his deformity as most see, as I see beauty. I would have killed as a child to get his hands to be my own, to make my father love me the way he loved Sarah to take all doubt of me being his out of his head. 'To beautiful' he always said I was to be my mothers. 'To small of features' he said I had to be his. 'To normal to belong here' he said with spite.

"The tent with the demon face?" I ask voice low.

"Yeah" he nodded.

I nod and begin to walk in that direction. I enter the tent to see Sarah on the stage contorting her half inked body beautifully every twist was smooth. I swallowed hard pushing back all my jealousy. I sat and watched as she lay on her stomach hands resting beside her and all three of her legs twisted up to rest on the top of her head. I see out of the corner of my eye Jimmy and a man with short arms and tattooed body but clear face walk in both seem taken back. Last night no one saw Sarah's third leg she is good at keeping it hidden, tied under her skirts her body is so flexible it is easy bid in unnatural positions. I'll be honest I don't want a third but being able to flex my body the way she does would be enough for me, I hate the vanity I have but beauty is all I have and I'm not about to be wishing that away. I am in awe watching her body perform I am fixable, true but I can't do anything near what she is and I took me years to become so fixable she was born this way, were it took me months to do the splits she just did it her body was made to perform perfectly. As she finished congratulations were given to her and Elsa Mars said she was impressed which looks like a hard thing to do however, not so much when you have three legs. Sarah walked off the stage two legs mimicking the other acting as one leg she hop on Danny and gave him a big kiss. I look away shaking my head I hate how she throws away her beauty and acts like a common slut.

"Girl!" Elsa waves her hand to me.

I look for a second making sure she meant me.

"Yes you yellow skirt" she said still waving her hand for me to come to her.

I stood with all eyes on me as I walked to the extraordinary older woman she was beyond words with beauty.

"Yes?" I ask standing in front on her.

She looked me over eyeing every part of my body.

"You're a pretty thing prettier than most" she comments mostly to herself.

Then she snaps her gaze to me German accent heavy.

"But good looks won't get you anywhere in a freak show you must be talented or useful… Tell me girl are you talented or useful?"

"I'm just a pretty face but I am use to working hard I can do whatever needs to be done" I assure her.

"Oh stop doing that Bonnie honey!" Danny slurs.

I snap a look to him eyes narrowed in anger. I knew what was about to come out of him mouth and I wanted to shut him up.

"She a sword swallower, I've seen her doing it she good" He said pointing to me.

"Huh are you now pretty face, why don't you show me?" Elsa says lighting a cigarette.

I look to Sarah with desperation in my eyes. It's been almost two years since I've swallow a sword it's a risky trick to just try off the bat after so long.

"You wanted to join the freak show" Sarah said trying to play innocent and failing miserably. "Show you wanna be a freak!" She said Husky as Danny was practically feeling her up.

I just sigh and nod.

"Let me go get my swords" I say defeated.

I walked out of the tent and rushed to mine grabbing my trunk I push all my clothes out of the way till I reach the bottom and pull out my sword then I rush back to the main tent. As I walked in Jimmy eyes were on me burning me again. I walk up to Elsa breathing heavy trying to relax.

"On the stage pretty face, that is where us freaks perform"

I nod and walk shaky up the steps, standing in the center I pull out my shinny blade that I have not missed. I am no freak shoving this down my throat won't make me one it will probably just kill me or nearly kill me like last time. I lick the metal shivering as the metallic taste lingers on my tongue putting my head back I feel my own heart beat pounding against my chest quickly I relax my throat and close my eyes. The cold metal made its way inside me I felt it sliding down smoothly, thank god. As just the handle rested on my lips I waved my hands and lowered my body curtsying It's dangerous to move but it felt so natural. Grasping the handle I pull it out hearing the metal swoosh through the air it made my skin crawl but I kept composure and bowed to my crowd. I heard claps and heard my sister clapping the loudest; I raise and look to the side of the stage where Jimmy stood smiling like a child his giant grin was so fitting on his face. I couldn't help but smile back to the attractive man... It would have been rude not to.

PLEASE REVIEW!

A/N:

So my idea of Bonnie was she was always put down by the people around her who she saw as 'gifted' and they saw as 'freaks' Her father had a big impacted on her life (mostly bad) He didn't think she was his and continued the cycle of putting her down for not being deformed. Her older sister Sarah loves Bonnie but is sometimes envies or smug depending on the day. Bonnie always changes her mind on wanting to stay at the freak show or not hopefully she finds her place in this show. And to bonnie sword swallowing isn't good enough for her because it was self learn not born with so it could never make her a part of her family truly (Never make her father know she is his by blood)
