Neo-Domino's Dark Woods Circus of Freaks and Monsters
The sound of horse-drawn carriages is mildly distracting to me. They are so dull! Why is everything so dull! I sigh out to myself. This is such a boring show.
"Want us to make it fun?" a set if green-haired twins ask.
"No, I'm good." I answer.
They look eleven at best and they are wearing one set of clothes in strange patchwork style.
"Do you have parents?" I ask.
"We did but now we have no need." The female one says.
"Yep! The circus is our home now!" Grins the male one.
Their eyes flicker red and green stopping at the original colour. I stare and they smile. They run of into the forest behind the road leaving red footsteps behind. They are just children. Maybe they were taken by a pedophile and that is why they are so wrong. I chase after them. This 'circus' can't be any good for them can it? I run into the forest. I brush back branches and jump over fallen trees and logs. I stop when I come to a huge tent in the middle surrounded by trees. The tent is at least ten meters tall, how is it not visible from where I was before? I watch as far above me a man in a pinstriped suit and a woman in a beautiful dress are dancing. The strangest thing about them is the fact that they are taller then the tent.
"I said I wanted to be tall but never this tall!" Laughs the man with orange hair.
"Crow it's not funny! Stop thinking of this as a joke!" Cries the woman with magenta hair.
"Aw Aki! The circus is fun if you let it be!" Crow smiles.
They waltz off as Aki screams and cries.
"You should never have ventured here!" Aki screams.
Two men appear right in front of me. One with long silver hair and yellow eyes and one with dark skin and hair and purple eyes.
"You're here, you're here!" Says almost smugly the dark one.
"Tonight we'll be showing the sad fate that some of the world carry." Says the light one.
"Women the Gods have abandoned restlessly crying out."
"Men that can't even carry the trembling limbs they were born with."
"Their shaking tongues cry in the most pitiful agony."
"Their bodies and minds twisted by deformities."
"They smile when they dream of lost lovers embraces."
"As they suffer the deformity."
"THE DEFORMITY!"
"Come with us." They say in unison.
I walk along the halls they couldn't have possibly crafted from common materials. Even though the tent is so large it shouldn't be able to fit!
"Welcome to Neo-Domino's Dark Woods Circus for Freaks and Monsters." Says the dark one.
The light one smiles and leans close. His cold breath hurting me.
"Enjoy the show." He whispers.
I walk along until I see the twins again, this time without their shirt.
"A creature with two fully thinking heads." Says the dark one.
"Aren't you pitiful things?" Laughs the light one.
I notice they have stiches along their necks and torsos. Oh god the deformity. They take my shaking hand to another cage.
"A blue-haired beast that loves to eat things cold." Informs the light one.
"Careful he bites." Warns the dark one.
The 'beast' has blue-hair and grey eyes. His eyes are so cold it looks like he is a tin man. He sits there in a straightjacket drooling out of the corner of his mouth. The 'beast' has human arms piled up on a plate. He begins to eat. I nearly pass out.
"Don't fall asleep the show's not over yet." Croons the light one.
We walk over to yet another cage. My breathing begins to hasten, what now?
"A deformed diva and man that can see without eyes." Says the dark one.
In the cages there is a blonde with purple eyes and a man with black hair and yellow highlights.
"Does anyone even miss me, so ugly am I? I want to go home. I am not a deformed diva at all. I am just flawed. Please let me go home." The blonde cries.
"It's sad but it can't be helped. I love you Jack. I love you more than anything. I love you to death. I know it's painful but please don't cry Jack." The black-haired man begs. "You're still beautiful to me."
"Oh Yuusei." Jack sighs.
"Yes Jack?" Yuusei asks.
"I love you too."
They embrace the best they can through the bars of their cages. I glance at the blonde and see a pair of goat legs where his should be and indeed Yuusei doesn't have eyes. I almost vomit.
"And for our final attraction." Says the dark one.
"The rotting boy." Announces the light one.
"I don't see anyone else." I say.
"That's because you are the final attraction." Informs the dark one.
"What a perfect subject." Sighs the light one.
The dark one grabs me and straps me to a table. The light one stands over me with a piece of fruit.
"This fruit will make you rot from the outside in." Mentions the dark one.
"Please! No!" I beg.
"Then what type of attraction should we make you?" Asks the light one.
"Don't rot me!" I scream.
They put the fruit down.
"Perhaps you would like to be a ringleader such as us?" suggests the light one.
"Anything but this!" I whimper.
They smile smiles much too wide and long to be considered human at all. They grab tools that make horrible whirring sounds.
"You should have picked the fruit." Mentions the dark one.
"Yes you really should have." Repeats the light one.
After I receive my improvements I stand at the circus entrance. Another victim, guest has come.
"Their bodies are distorted in order to bend to the will of the guests." I say.
"To amuse and entertain you in the most delightful ways." Smirks the light one.
"To horrify and twist you." Says almost smugly the dark one.
"I had to cower alone but since there are two of you." I mention.
"Then the shadows reach longer than supposed.' Finishes the light one.
"And you will never tell what happens unless you enter." Says the dark one.
"You will end up entering regardless though." I say.
The white-haired man and the red-haired boy cower as we smile. Well they smile, I will never enjoy this.
"You two will make perfect companions for Antinomy, the metal man." Mentions the dark one.
I hold them by the hands as they walk slowly. I can smell their fear. This is the saddest sight. I am a monster. I hate the sight of myself. I have now helped the ringleaders collect three more members not including these two. The man whose very heart is made of steel, a twisted knight and the spiked man. Pray you never enter. So you will not have to suffer the mental, the physical, the soulfull deformities.
Author note: The being with two fully thinking heads is Ruka and Rua, the twisted knight is Sherry and the spiked man is Paradox.
