Episode 14 Continued - The Freak Show

"Yes! Yes!" the crazed lunatic said, clapping his hands excitedly. "I did go by that Taylor name, you're so smart! That's why I always admired you, my lord!" He gazed down, still smiling. "But my real name is Charles! Charles Vanity the third!"

"And your arms and legs?" I said then, lashes lowering. "They look absolutely normal. How did you hide your prosthetics so well?"

"Why, clothes, of course! And it's cold at night, so it worked out for me in the end!" He raised his hands that had small, thin gloves on them, and long, white sleeves that went all the way up his arm. His pant legs also went down, covering the top half of his shoe.

He was a good actor, I'd say.

"What happened with the teenagers?" I demanded then, voice growing stern. "Where are they?"

"Oh, you want to see them?" he said, clapping his hands excitedly again. "Sure, sure! We can discuss my plans during dinner! Such great plans, indeed! I have it all prepared for you, my lord!"

I gritted my teeth.

This man... was insane.

"Come, come!" he said, spinning around and skipping down the halls. "It's all prepared. Come, now!"

Clarice and James went after him, and Sam just remained silent, turning and beckoning for us to follow.

I started forward first, and Sebastian followed after me, and Scarlet as well as Maddox after him.

We went up the stairs, continuing down the main hallway to the dining room.

"What part do you have in this?" I questioned Sam then, glare sharpening. "You people sicken me. They're just children."

He was quiet for a moment, but he finally responded, "My father was so broken after my mother died, and he broke even more when my little sister died. He's not well, I just want to make him happy."

"By kidnapping innocent teenagers and modifying them to look like zombies?"

Sam just gritted his teeth. "I just want to do whatever my father wants. Teens are so cruel to their parents... even when all their parents want is the best for them. My father just wants to fix that. You'll never understand. He loved Saige so much, and she died from such horrific circumstances... it broke him. He just wants her back. I just want to help him."
