Author's note: Couldn't help myself. A fanfiction is in order and this one's related to the one I did for Scooby Doo: 'Music from the Grave'. Hehehehe. When a mysterious circus makes it to town, strange happenings start to take place.
Enjoy!
1. Into the Fog
Long day in class and longer against the Crustaceans, the town of Charterville seemed for once a boring place. Strange things had always happened in this place but the three kids had to agree that it was getting a bit of dull. Roland, Drew and his sister, Jo, were the only hope against Nukus and his henchmen but that day, they were too tired to go back to the haunted mansion of Hillhurst to celebrate with their favourite phasm.
It was getting dark and an eerie fog was coming down. The three kids walked down their way near the train station.
"U know? For once, just this once, they could leave us alone for a while. I'm gettin' tired of this" Drew sighed.
"No kiddin'" Roland gave him a look.
"You have to admit that it gets boring"
"Speak for yourself" answered Jo. "I ve tons of fun"
"Yeah, right. But seriously. We need something new for a change, just for once" they all had to agree in the end.
"Man, can any of you guys see where are heading? This pea supper's real thick"
"That's weird. It was a clear day just a mo..." a train whistle startled the trio. They were walking across the rails. "Ok. First prize of weirdness goes to... Creepy Fog!"
"You got it" Roland nodded. They walked on until they saw two headlights before them. A train was coming but it wasn't using any of the rails. "You gotta be kidding" the ghostly figure went straight through them like a shadow and stopped at the station where a door in the last wagon was opened. A small, wide brim-hatted and mysterious looking man was staring at them. He had one eye golden and the other one blood-coloured. In his face, shone a Cheshire smile. The three children were like under a spell. Who was this strange character? Was he from some sort of dream or nightmare? The train whistled again and the trio found themselves standing in the safety of the road. Was it all a dream? It had to be. They headed for their homes in the town center and told nobody about their vision. Nobody was going to believe them anyway. But from the top of the rooftops, a man under a top hat had watched them carefully.
"Oh, my children! Oh, my dear, dear children! The game's afoot and the show begins for I, Madsen, shall see to your deeds, Beetlethings! The Spirits are in your town to see an old friend and we won't leave empty-handed. So be brave and be still, my children. For we all must be careful about what we wish for" a pair of yellow cat eyes shone under the hat and the man disappeared into the fog.
Madsen's dedicated to the main singer of the group Duendelirium.
