ahs: freakshow

||one||

the drive was silent except for the noises the car made and the stones that flew around it, no music, no radio, no talking, no sound just complete silence.

maybe we were both anxious? I mean we are driving to a freak show where a few murders have gone down, that's probably it, that's probably why we aren't interacting.

my eyes drifted around the car for a moment; the car was pretty much empty, no rubbish, no maps, no dust, just two people driving down to florida to investigate a freak show murder, you know the usual. well shit, that's not normal... it's not normal at all, that's just scary.

my eyes drifted from the empty car to my dad driving, maybe it wasn't going to be that bad after all? maybe I won't be murdered by whomever.

my dad turned to me.

"I don't want you getting to close to them, I want you to keep your distance" he spoke sternly.

I looked up at him for a moment before turning my head to the car mirror to make sure I didn't look too anxious. I didn't. I just saw the normal pale faced, green eyed girl who was known as me.
as I turned my head back my dad's way I saw that the freakshow was only minutes away from us.

"remember one of them is a murderer, so be careful" He spoke once more as he started to pull into the grounds of the freakshow

the car stopped and the engine turned off, I still hadn't mentally prepared myself for what was yet to come. I could get murdered, raped, kidnapped but yet my dad still let me come.

I hop out of the car and looked around my surroundings; a beautiful green paddock with red and white tents hoisted, a bunch of caravans surrounded the place and a group of people were sitted around a table listening to a radio.

"come on" My father spoke to me

I watched as he started to walk towards the people surrounded around the radio, I had to jog to catch up to his fast paced walking.

as we reached the group of people, all eyes were on us.

"I'm the inspector, mr.davis and this is my daughter; clarissa davis" he spoke as he motioned towards me

"hi, I'm claire, it's nice to meet you all" I spoke as I held out my hand for each of them to shake after I shook a couple of hands I reached a boy with brown hair, beady eyes and a ghastly skintone, I held out my hand for a moment to realise he wasn't shaking it.

"don't worry, I don't bite" I spoke softly to him

he hesitated but eventually shook my hand, I gave him a soft smile and a little nod before going to shake the other's hands.

"me and my daughter will be staying here until we find out who was the subject of the murders" my dad spoke with authority

a moment later a woman with blonde hair and a pink nightgown on walked towards us, my heart pounded onto my chest, what if she was kicking us out, what if she didn't like me, i froze when she reached us and spoke;

"you must be charlie davis and clarissa davis" she spoke with a smile and a slight german accent "I'm elsa mars the owner of this freakshow"

"yes yes, I've heard so much about you ms.mars and a lot about your freaks"

"yes, you must have... how about I show you around charlie?" elsa said with a slight smirk

"of course ms.mars" just before my father and elsa turned around a corner elsa yelled three simple words; "show clarissa around!"
