The joyful screams of children could be heard, along with the laughs of others. A rumbling of a train could be heard all throughout the town of Salem. The rumbling only got louder as the train approached.

The train came to a sudden stop in the middle of the town. The towns people looked amazed as the large blood red train was travelling without tracks. A blonde woman stepped out of the train, she gave a wink to all of the men in the large crowd that swarmed around the train. She looked up from her black and red top hat and announced "welcome one and all to Odin's Circus! I am Idris and I'm sure we will enjoy our stay."

A few other people stepped out of the train and stood behind her. A clown, a dare-devil, a magician and two acrobats. "we shall meet again soon!" proclaimed Idris. All of the other circus members walked back into the train without another word. The towns people looked at each other with confused expressions on their faces. The train soon started up again and went towards a large hill.

Idris let out an excited squeal as she exited the train. She snapped her fingers and the other members ran up to her. "Well guys, isn't this going to be fun!" exclaimed Idris, the others nodded their heads. A short fierce woman with bright blue hair and an unimpressed expression on her face walked up to Idris. "yes, Ash?" Asked Idris "Dontcha think this place is a little to...you know happy...?" Ash questioned. A dark figure in a black and red suit walked up to them "Happy is perfect, I love seeing their faces on the audience when we show them what we're best at." The others cackled.

The circus was quickly set up next to the large hill. Idris walked into her small office inside the giant blood red circus tent. She picked up a small dagger. "I think I will use this dagger today" she laughed. Two tall pale girls with blood red costumes and eyes walked into Idris offices. Idris looked up "Oh Pippa, Piper didn't see you girls there." the girls smiled revealing large fangs. "My lovely acrobats." Idris smiled.

"Now what is it girls?" Idris asked impatiently. They turned to each other giving a specific look to one another. "Come on girls, spit it out I don't have all day." Idris spat. Piper and Pippa started talking in perfect sync "We never get enough blood! It's difficult to find delicious blood, and rats just aren't cutting It." "I see, well we will be going on a murder spree very soon, you can eat then. Problem solved" Idris Replied. "Whatever." Pippa and Piper snarled. They walked out giving Idris a small glare. "They are so picky" Idris exclaimed. Idris took out a small stack of papers from her bottom cabinet. They papers contained everybody's personal information. "Time to get reading." Idris stated.
