My name is Sara Davison; I thought life was normal at one time. I didn't think monsters or anything of that sort existed. My friend Brianna did though, she swore to me she knew a guy once that was friends with a vampire. I doubted everything; I was stuck in my own little world where everything is perfect, when everything is actually not. I was so stupid, if I had only turned back when I was told to, none of my story would have happened. I wouldn't be where I was now and my friends wouldn't be scared of me.

I would be normal. This whole story started because The Cirque Du Freak.

One day while I was walking home from a friend's house, I decided to cut through an alley way. Just to save me some time. The alley smelled like trash and it was dark. Before I got out of it, I wasn't watching where I was going and I ran straight into someone.

"Oh my god, I am so sorry!" I exclaimed.

The person let out a soft laugh. "It's quite alright young lady." I looked up at him. He was wearing a red cloak and he had crop of orange hair. "To make up for my mistake I am going to give you these." He produced something out of his pocket, green tickets.

"Um thanks." I said reluctantly.

"How old are you?"

"Thirteen." I replied not really sure if I should be telling him my age.

"You are but a child, I am sure I can trust you though tell no one of me. Promise me that."

"I promise." He nodded and went in the opposite direction of me. I looked at the tickets in my hand and read the name. "Cirque Du Freak." It was a freak show, I thought they were illegal, I had heard of bad freak shows like where the deformed people were in cages and "normal people" would laugh and throw things at them.

I wasn't going to go, I truly wasn't but something inside of me said go and have fun.

When I got home that night I kept looking at tickets, I was drawn to them. . I had asked my mom early if she knew anything about freak shows but all that she said was they were illegal.

The next day at school I wrote Brianna (my best friend) a note in class and explained to her what had happened. At break she ran up to me and exclaimed.

"We are so going!"

"Do you really want to?" I asked her. "It could be scary."

"So? Sara you know me I love Scary stuff!" That I did know about her.

"Ok…we'll go but if there is one nasty or gut churning act we are leaving!

"Deal?"

"Deal." She said grinning. "This is going to be fun!"

Well there is chapter 1! Tell me what you think. Please R&R.
