"How lovely, how lovely" Rina smiled, gazing at all the items for sale in the square. She laughed, brushing her light black; almost gray hair behind her ear. Her purple eyes analyzed the carts, while she fingered the coins in her pocket. Nothing worth her money, she thought, and sighed. She might as well head back home. Turning around, something caught Rina's eye. There was a man, dressed all in black, standing apart from everybody else. It seemed like he was selling some sort of tickets. "Excuse me?" Rina said shyly. The man simply gazed off into the distance until Rina tugged on his sleeve and repeated her. "What exactly are you selling?" she said. "You don't want these, little girl" the man croaked in a deep, gravelly voice, and he turned around to reveal eyes that were glowing red. Rina stepped back a little in fright, but persisted. "Yes I do. Why would I come over here if I didn't want to buy it, or at least see what it was?" She pouted, glaring at him, until he sighed and continued. "These are tickets for the Dark Woods Circus". He laughed. A circus.. Rina thought. She had never been to one of those! "I want a ticket!" Rina grinned. "Well, if you're sure.. 3 pounds" Rina sighed, fishing the coins from her pocket as he slipped her a ticket. "Great" she smiled, waving as she walked away.
"Bye mother!" Rina shouted, pushing open the wooden oak doors. "I'm going to visit Meirin, I'll be back later!" Once the doors were closed, she leaned against them and panted from excitement. From how the merchant had acted, she was guessing her parents wouldn't approve of her going to whatever the Dark Woods Circus was. Rina had a secret love for all things macabre, however, and she was sure she would love this. Glancing at the ticket she carried, and quickly memorizing the address and setting off through the shadowy forest. "No wonder they call it the dark woods" she murmured, giggling to herself. With no light to guide her (she would be too conspicuous if she took a candle) Rina had to feel her way through the woods, until she finally caught a glimpse of an eerie blue light. Stepping closer to it, she saw the battered tent, the lights, and a large sign that read "DARK WOODS. ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK". Shivering a little after reading this, but her curiosity guiding her, she walked up to the tent. "I have a feeling I'm going to be damned to hell for this" she said with a grimace, but then laughed. Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes and stepped inside.
[[It will get more interesting as it progresses, sorry that it is so short, but I was just writing down my ideas. I'll upload the next chapter, the creepy one :D when I get good ratings/reviews, or whenever I feel like it^^]]
