LJ had her sitting through another performance, she was glad that she wasn't part of it this time. The other one permanently traumatized her.

She hated him for putting her through something like that. She wanted to leave, sleep in her bed, eat a proper meal and more.

Did her sister really give her up or is it just one of LJ's stupid lies? She needed answers to her questions but she knew it wasn't going to be easy to receive them.

She was brought back to reality when the last child was murdered, hearing the sound of the kid gargling in her own blood made her stomach squeeze.

The way the dead kids in the audience would just jump and squeal at the sight of them dying made her disgusted with everything. Who does this clown think he is?

The sound of a lighter flickering caught her attention, she turned her head slightly to see the clown putting a lighter to the cigarette that was trapped between his lips.

It lit, so he took the cigarette out after exhaling it, he saw the girl looking at him the entire time. He raises his eyebrows and walks over to her. "You want to try?" His sudden question made her eyes blink.

She looks up at him confused "W..what?" He waves the slow burning cigarette in front of her letting the smoke hit her face, her nose scrunched up hating the smell of it.

"Come on...put your lips on it." He puts it in front of her lips ready for her to hit it, he watches her with excitement. She glanced down at the cigarette then back to him.

She didn't know what came over here and next thing she knows she hesitantly leaned over slowly putting her lips on the cigarette. She looks up at him, kind of hinting for guidance.

"Suck in slowly" He says carefully watching her, she mentally laughs at herself for being in the same position as yesterday. LJ controlling her and putting things in her mouth then telling her to suck. "Jesus,i'm pathetic."

She did what he told her, feeling the smoke invade her body. It didn't feel pleasant at all because she never did anything like this before.

He takes it away letting her take it in "Hold it in." She held it in, but soon started to panic feeling herself lose her breath "Hold.it" He said sternly, she couldn't hold it anymore and coughed it all out, the burning feeling in her lungs made it worse. LJ patted her back chuckling at her.

"Of course he finds this entertaining."

"God! I love how innocent you are...do you wanna know why I love innocence?" He says taking another hit of the tobacco, she gets done with her coughing fit and asks why.

He bends down in her face staring deeply into her eyes, they were lifeless and hopeless. There was not one sparkle of life in those eyes.

"Because I love ripping it apart." He spoke as the smoke escaped from his lips into her face, she brought her head back. He observes her for a moment before straightening back up.

It looked like he was thinking of an idea, a grin appeared on his face. He drops the cigarette on the ground and stomps on it. "Let's have fun today, sugar~"

He grabs her hand as black smoke forms around them then fades away revealing a new surrounding. They were in an old black and white tent, he placed her in a chair in front of a vanity.

"Can't start this day without a little touch up." He smiles clapping his hands twice, two other monochrome clowns came walking in the tent. They were different from LJ, they weren't tall. They looked lifeless, like they are in a trance.
