Disclaimer: I do not own Cirque Du Freak, but I do own the main characters & any other characters that are not found in Cirque Du Freak. I shall not tell you who the main person is otherwise the twist will be lost forever. . .

Shadowy Nightmare: I had an idea for this twist when reading the ending of Cirque Du Freak. Please enjoy this fanfiction.

R&R!

When Darren Shan published his book, I asked him why he changed the ending. Why I was never mentioned within the pages of the story. Why did he change the ending. For it never ended up the way it did. Yes, the story you have read was never the true tale. It had ended up so different. . .oh so different. . . Sadly, Darren has yet to give me a well enough detailed reason why he hid the truth. I am tired of waiting for him to speak up, so instead I will tell you what really happen the night the Lord of Shadows was suppose to rise. . . from MY perspective of the night and beyond. Gather round, for this is a story that you should not miss a second of. . .

Abigail's POV

I was running through the cave. I ran as quick as I possibly could. My feet pounded with another's echoing foot stomps. I didn't dare glance back at my compainion, for time was slowly running out. I felt my heart pound in my throat with the invisable sound of ticking from my head. They pounded together in unity. Fear clutched my stomach, tightening its grip with every second that passed. I feared the thought that I would come to late. Too late to change course of destiny. Tears stung my eyes as prayed in the back of my mind for it not to be true.

I reached the end of the tunnel and entered a small room. Two guys were on the ground saying something to the other one. I felt a wave of hatred coming from one of them from those words. Another man, much older then the two that were fighting, howled with laughter. "That is my boy," he hooted. The only female stared at the hooting male in shock.

I hissed as the one was stabbed. The person I had brought along yelled out Darren as the male tried to lurch at them to stop the bloodshed but the female blocked his way. I rushed after the two as they both fell into the water. I dived in after them, not caring if I got my clothing wet.

I looked at one male then another. With a sickening realization, I saw that one of them was my twin brother, but he had already met death. The other boy was still alive. Water bubbles poured from his nose and mouth. He was sinking fast, but I swam after him and when I had ahold of his shirt and began franticlly swimming for the surface. If I did not reach it in time we would both drowned.

I coughed as my head broke the surface of the water. A hand reached me and the body I dragged -which I was not sure if was still alive or not- along. Without even glancing up to see which being it was, I grabbed it. I then began to climb up out of the water. Wordlessly, I dropped to the ground and became one with it. I was choaking on the water. I began to dry heave expecting that water would leave my system. When the sensation of drowning passed, I looked up. My eyes glanced around and studied the two unknown people -one who was female and another who was male.

"Larten Crepsley. . . who are the others?" I asked with my soft voice.

Shadowy Nightmare: Yes. First chapter is up. And such a twist. Larten is actually alive. I have heard those who wished he was alive so I make it that way. Hee hee. There is still more to come in the ways of the twists.

Please R&R! I would love to hear your input!
