"I never knew we had a pop up circus around this time of the year," Jacob whispered. "I'm excited, though."

Sangyeon nodded in agreement. "The set up is really nice, and look at that white tiger."

Everyone looked at the very beautiful, pampered looking feline. Her large cage was shiny and clean, a huge sign at the top that read:

Trick: The trickiest tiger around.

"Oh, look!" Eric exclaimed, pointing in front of him. "It's starting!"

The lights dimmed and a spotlight went to the ringmistress, who was gliding through the air, propped on the rim of a lyra as it went around the ring, then to the middle in front of a tall platform. The crowd went absolutely crazy. Her attire went perfectly with Stealer Night. Black pants with triangular cut outs on the thighs, a fitted red and black turtleneck, and a shoulder harness for her right shoulder. The mask hiding her identity was black, with silver and red detailing that shone in the spotlight.

"Welcome to the Freak Show Stealerz," she announced, her voice altered by her headset. "Where we steal the scene and create an unforgettable night for our audience!"

Large rings behind her were set on fire and two performers flipped through them simultaneously. "I'm your ringmistress and tiger tamer, Chase." The crowd roared once more. "Now, enjoy the performance, and make sure to watch carefully!"

Another performer opened the door to Trick's cage and she jumped up onto the high standing platform right behind Chase, more fire appearing all over the ring in short flashes.

Keeping her left arm stable, she flipped through the hoop and hung onto it as it was lowered to the ground. As soon as her feet touched the ground, Trick leaped off of the platform and landed beside her, a glorious roar indicating the start of the show.

And so it began.
