When you are born different people always look at you differently. Everyone does it and they can say they don't care about you being different, but the truth is that they do care. They will always care because it is a part of human nature. People fear what they do not understand. It is simple how the world has worked since the beginning of time and it has not changed. Most likely it will never change because nobody wants it to change. For the people who run the freak show it simply means more money for them, but for the actual freaks it meant a life full of cruel jokes and stares wherever they went. So for the most part a lot of the freaks decided to stick together and hide out from the world the best they could.

Leah Clearwater had been a part of Uley's Amazing Freak Show for almost as long as she could remember. To be honest she really did not remember her life before she was found by one of the workers at the show. She could only have been two or three and from what she was told Harry Clearwater (the man who had found her and where she got her last name) had seen her eating from a garbage can. She only had on a diaper and nothing else. At first he thought she had wandered off and then he took a closer look and saw her little body riddled with bruises and burns indicating she had been abused. The most amazing thing though was the fact she had two perfectly white angelic wings poking out of her back between her shoulder blades and upon closer inspection he realized they were real. That is how she came to be a part of the freak show plain and simple.

It wasn't as if her life had been horrible or anything living in a traveling show. Harry Clearwater, his wife, and their son were very carrying. Seth had only been a few months old when Leah was found and so he was raised thinking of her as an older sister. The fact she had wings never seemed to bother him. So yes, life had been really good as far as she knew. She didn't mind traveling all the time because really staying in one place always complicated things since people would never truly accept her. Moving around made it so that she didn't have to stick around to hear the cruel things people often said about her. People would think that would be sad and lonely, but it wasn't for Leah because she had friends in this place and that is all that really mattered to her.

Leah had become friends with a number of freaks in this place. There was Alice who was known as the girl from the future since she had visions and had been having them for as long as she could remember. Like Leah she had been abandoned and found by one of the workers so they bonded over the fact they had been dumped like yesterday's garbage. Next you had Jasper who was dating Alice. Jasper was known as the man made of scars. The poor guy had lost his entire family in a car crash that left him covered in terrible scars. He had been put in and out of foster care for years before running away when he was a teenager. Finally after a couple months of living on the streets and having a problem with drugs he had stumbled upon this place hungry and cold. Alice had found him and well he just sort of stuck around after that.

Rosalie was another member of this so called club. She had been sold by her ex fiancé who was looking for some quick cash to pay for his habit. Rosalie was basically normal except for the fact she had been born with red eyes that people called demon eyes. Her fiery temper only made her seem more demons like, but considering that she thrived on people being afraid of her it worked well for her. The last person Leah could consider a friend was Jacob Black. Jacob was probably the only person who had a mutation or whatever you wanted to call it as visible as Leah's. Jacob had the remarkable ability to transform in to a wolf. It was terrifying to watch it happen if you didn't know him. Seeing a man transform in to a giant wolf was just not something anyone could ever get used to and so Leah and Jacob had that in common.

Still at times it got to be very lonely. There were days when the winged woman wished she could just walk out in the world and not have people stare at her. She craved a normalcy she would never have. No matter how much she wanted to be like everyone else she knew that she would never have it and so there was absolutely no reason to cry over it. Life was the way it was and she just had to get used it. Things always happen for a reason or at least that is what Harry told her on a daily basis.

"Angel you go on in five minutes!" One of the workers called knocking on her trailer door. Angel was her stage name because of the wings.

With a sigh she stood up and flexed her wings looking in to the mirror on her wall. She tried to force a smile on her face because nobody wanted to see a sad angel. "Well the show must go on."

AN: I thought that since I finished a lot of stories I could start another one. I've had this one on my mind for a while and this is just the opening chapter. I hope that you all like it and I would love to hear your thoughts.
