Type: Realistic Fiction, made up storyOne night, me and my twin got to go to our local circus for our 14th birthday. It was an amazingly popular one.
Ever since we were seven we'd both had an unusual obsession with haunted fairgrounds and amusement parks, circuses and clowns. Our friends would call us freaks for liking that "garb". My twin grew weary and began to hide her passion whereas I couldn't have cared less as to what they'd call me or say about me. I didn't even care.
Anyway, back to our birthday. - Going there, to Cerello The Great's circus was a huge treat and it meant the world to us. Cerello was an amazing magician - but what made him unique was the fact that he was a clown too, and he was notoriously and infamously known for scaring the actual hell out of some children - but only 'special' ones, by jump-scaring them and exclaiming one of his favourite words; 'welcome!'.
Poor kids, I kinda felt sorry for them. That's why mostly only older kids go there to Cerello's Circus, as he tends to be...intimidating let's just say.
Even though most kids, and even some wimpy teens, complained about Cerello's jump-scares and practically prayed that they wouldn't be a victim of them, I on the other hand, along with my twin sister, really wanted to be scared by the guy today. I really didn't want him to just be some lame circus act. I wanted to feel intense fear and fun!
And I hoped Cerello would see me as one of those 'special' kids too, because I didn't look exactly like my twin sister, as I was a boy and she were a girl. So maybe he'd terrify at least one of us tonight. - I mean, we both made it pretty obvious that it was our birthday as we each had a huge birthday badge on, one pink one blue.
Our car finally parked. "We're here! How do you guys feel?" My eager dad asked us from the front of the car.
"Umm - Excited! - Duh!" Me and my twin exclaimed in unity.
We both leaped out of the car and watched as the rain slowly began to fade away. Dad closed our car doors as we were so busy being mesmerised by the place. It was amazing.
Blinding lights of green and purple were lit everywhere, brightly lit jack-o-lanterns sat around all over the funfair, their carved smiles looking crazily psychotic, as though each and every one of them had a mind of their own.
Suddenly, the grand gates began to slowly open itself up automatically, as we both walked towards it, many other children and a couple of parents by our side.
"WELCOME!" Someone screamed right into my ear terrifying me immediately, as I leaped back in total shock. I stared directly into his eyes, which were strangely silver.
A creepy smile suddenly began to grow on his painted-white clown face. -It was Cerello himself.
"Come, come one, come all," he began bowing as he waved an arm of his over to his many rides, but in he middle of them all, his famous Circus.
Everyone raced past him and immediately began queueing up for a ticket to his amazing circus, while my twin and I stayed with him.
"Hi," I started nervously.
"Well, hello there, what happens to be your names?" He said, looking over to my twin."Lucifer and Lucinda," I replied.
