Jimmy's p.o.v.

When I turned around to ask Rhiannon what she thought of Dots singing, she was no longer there. I wondered where she could have gone.

I hoped she wasn't jealous of me telling Dot to sing the song to me, I just knew that it would ease Dot. She's got a crush on me, but I really like Rhiannon.

While I searched most of the field for Rhiannon, Paul looked near the lake. Eve decided to wait in Rhiannons caravan in case she turned up.

I thought I saw someone near the edge of the forest, so I decided to head there to find her.

I was stopped by Elsa, who told me to get ready for the show. She would find Rhiannon.

The only two people to show up were this rich older woman and her son. They bought every seat, so it's not like we were losing out on money.

I got nervous when Elsa returned a few minutes before the show to tell us that she couldn't find Rhiannon.

"The show must go on anyvays. Ve vill be fine, and ve vill find her later. Now come on!" Elsa commanded.

Without her, I felt lonely. I worried about her all through the show, and even more so when I realized it was getting dark.

"Come on, Jimmy. Let's go find that poor girl." My mother said before everyone was interrupted.

"Excuse me, how much for the twins?" The rich older woman asked.

"They are not prostitutes. You cannot just pay for a night with my freaks." Elsa defended.

"No, you misunderstood me. You see, I'd like to own them. My son likes them very much. I'd pay five thousand for the pair."

Elsa seemed bewildered and the twins were afraid.

"My freaks are not for sale!" Elsa shouted.

"Oh but I must insist. Ten thousa--" the older woman was interrupted by her son.

"Mother, fifteen should do it."

"Yes. Fifteen thousand and not a penny more. Unless they grow another head of course." The older woman giggled.

"Let's see what the girls think?"Elsa turns to Bette and Dot, "Do you think fifteen thousand is a fair price?" she asked.

Bette and Dot thought about it, but said, "We are not for sale, miss. I'm sorry."

"There you have it. You see, my monsters have no intention of being pulled away from this family. You should go." Elsa finished.

"Fine, I'd rather go somewhere else than have to listen to that caterwauling you call singing." The older woman and her spoiled son left.

I sighed and hurried to find Rhiannon. It was too late, because she showed up. She looked like she had gone insane, and she was covered in blood.

"What the hell happened? Sweetie, tell me what happened?" I asked my beauty.

"Clown..." Was the last thing she muttered before passing out.
