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

Only Women Bleed...Or Do They?

Cyrene's p.o.v.

I noticed that my sister got dragged away by Jimmy, and I decided to get to know everyone else. I was a little shy, but remained calm.

"Hon, if you wanna get yourself a place to stay, you can probably stay in your sister's caravan for tonight. I know she kind of abandoned you, seein' she's busy with Jimmy, I can help you get ready." Amazon Eve said kindly.

I nodded, and I brought what little stuff I had with me to Rhiannon's caravan. It wasn't very big, but there were more than one bed. One was a pull-out couch; the other, a double sized mattress.

I sat on the bed and sighed. Eve stood in the doorway, concerned.

"You gonna be okay, doll? I know this is a big shock, but you're safe here." she said, sitting next to me.

"I just...I never thought I'd find my sister again. My father always told me that he killed her and my mother..." Tears formed in my eyes.

Eve wrapped an arm around my shoulder, and I rested my head on her shoulder.

I couldn't help but feel like Eve was such a kind, trustworthy woman even though I had just met her. It was her way around people that made me feel safe.

I told her my story...

1938

My father had taken me away in the middle of the night. He told me he brutally murdered my mother and sister. I was devastated but only a child and could hardly grasp even the concept of murder or death.

For years my father kept me as a slave. He raped me, beat me and drugged me. I performed for him in cruel ways and he almost cut off my tail once.

I prayed and prayed until one day, as he was raping me and I was just laying there, I suddenly felt a rush of energy and power.

I pushed him off and bludgeoned his head against the headboard of the bed. As he moaned in pain, I didn't stop until he wasn't moving...

"I didn't know what else to do, Eve. After that I was sure I was alone...I lied to my sister and told her he sold me to a circus. Should I tell her what happened?"

"Doll, you should tell her. She's your sister and she won't judge you."

I felt like I could definitely believe that. I decided to head out and look around the place.

Before I could even find my sister, I overheard something very sickening from the inside of Elsa Mars' tent...

"Give us fifty percent of the ticket sales, and we won't tell anyone you kidnapped us and sold us to Mrs. Mott."

It was the twins speaking to Elsa.
