We're All Stars Now, In The Freak Show.

Your Future's Bright...But Rhiannon Is in It, Not Me.

"So that rich kid was just here trying to flirt with you? That's weird. We need to watch for this guy." Amazon Eve said, bewildered by my tale.

"I know. He was very strange. Calm, collected and polite. Nevertheless, he was fucking scary!" I told her, taking a drink of coffee. We were sitting in my caravan with Jimmy.

We were hanging out before the show tonight and we were worried that Dandy and his mother would return.

"Don't worry. If he pulls any if his crap, I'll protect you. " Jimmy said, wrapping his arm around my shoulder and pulling me in closer.

"You two are so cute together. I'm glad that you've found yourself a great girl, Jimmy. "

Eve was happy that Jimmy and I were together, and so was I.

Maggie's p.o.v.

I was watching in disgust as we walked through the cases and jars of dead freaks on display. Stanley looked so pleased and the tour guide was quite happy with him

After Stanley told me about his fantasies to kill and sell the freaks, I felt very disgusted. I had to live with these people, and I was afraid I might become friends with some of them.

"Well...I want at least a 5% cut on what you already are giving me...y'know since I have to live with those freaks?" I insisted, nervously

Stanley smirked at me, proud almost. He came up to me and sighed.

"Fine. I see what you mean. I gotta say though, this will be easy. Just think of how rich we'll be at the end of this." Stanley said.

He started packing his things, and I noticed that he had some poof magazines.

"Don't bring those. People in Jupiter hate poofs just as much as they hate freaks...or maybe more. You need to just conceal the fact that you like men or your cover will be blown." I warned him.

That had been a few days ago before Stanley decided to take control of the whole place through Elsa. He would convince her he was a big shot from Hollywood, come to offer her a shot to be a big television star.

I had already started to like the freaks here...especially Jimmy Darling. I knew that he was with Rhiannon, but I couldn't help to fall for his charm and charasmatic personality. Not to mention, he was gorgeous. His deformity was something I could complete overlook.

It was an hour before the next show, and Stanley was trying to pay some of the early customers to boo Elsa when she was on stage to sing. He said it was all part of his
plan.

I was just walking around the field, trying to find Jimmy. Once I did find him, I watched him nervously practice his part in the show. He was so adorable.

But I was worried about him as well. I walked up to him and asked him if I could read his palm.

"Sure. Why not? It couldn't hurt."

I looked at his palm, not even sure what lines I would have to read to even read a fortune. I decided to make it up, like I have been.

"A dark man is coming. With false promises and empty lies. He will try to trick you...but there's still time for you to leave. Go on, to New York or on the eastern seaboard. The man will try to harm you, but a soft, amazing woman will help you through trials."

I hoped he wanted to be with me, despite Rhiannon. I was normal. I could give Jimmy a normal life that Rhiannon could never have...besides, who knows how long anyone here has since Stanley arrived.

"I should leave? I don't think so. I need to stay here before this place falls apart. Thanks though." Jimmy said, smirking.

I bit my lip, looking deeply into his eyes. He almost leaned in for a kiss when Rhiannon showed up.

"What kind of bullshit are you trying to give to my man? Jimmy, don't listen to this bimbo. " Rhiannon was furious.

"It's all in the lines of his hands, honey. You wouldn't understand." I scoffed at her.

Jimmy turned towards her, almost like he broke out of a trance.

"I'm sorry, Maggie. Rhiannon is right. I'm not just gonna up and leave." And they both left me standing there alone.
