Welcome to the freakshow

Chapter One

"Please no stop! I don't want to go!!! Mom!!! Dad!!!! Please!!! Help Me!!!" I screech tears rolling down my face rain soaking my hair and clothes. "Sweetie we love you. It's the best." They exclaim with grim smiles on their faces. I felt my body being thrown into the back of the psychiatric's truck. "Fuck. Fuck
Fuck. Fuck." I banged my head against the cold metal walls. It was a pretty long ride till they dragged me out and checked me into Evergreen Asylum. Now I'm in a cold dark cell starving, and traumatized, I longed to see another person. I need to talk to someone. To show them I'm not insane, I DONT BELONG HERE. It's been two weeks now, I have yet to see anyone else. "Nicole you have a visitor." A younger woman says I weakly stood up and she led me to an office. A woman with dark hair was sitting there waiting for me. "Hello you must be Nicole." She smiled warmly at me and held out her hand. I shook it and shyly reply. "Hi." "Tell me Nicole why are you in here?" "I...I can't feel pain so I would hurt myself because I wanted to know what it felt like." "That doesn't sound crazy to me." "Really?" "How would you like to leave here and join a show?" "Please I can't stay here any longer." That night I secretly was escorted outside through the basement and met the lady from earlier. "Now now I'm sure you must be have loads of questions. My name is Evlyn, I am the owner of a freak show, and you Nicole have just joined." "Oh okay but I can't do anything ad normal." "You can't feel pain. On stage you will put your fingers in animal traps, step on glass, and other things that cause a lot of pain." After she explained to me what was going to happen she drove to a lot with trailers, tents, and cages. "Everyone this is Nicole!" The camp fell silent, I felt like I was going to choke on my breath because the air felt thick and hard to breathe. "Hello Nicki welcome to our family!!" Everyone shouts hugging me. "Now now Evana why don't you give her a makeover." "Hi I'm Evana the snake girl." "Hi I'm Nicole." Evana was tall thin, pale skin with a greenish tint, Bright green hair, snake bites, and big brown eyes. "First do you want to dye your hair?" "Sure. Blue streaks in my fringe and in the front of my hair." "Okay!" After that I got my septum, and middle of my upper lip pierced. "Try on your performing outfit." Evana handed me a black corset, a pair of black with blue underneath stilettos, thigh highs, and lastly a black choker. My eyes widened as I looked at my reflection in the cracked mirror. I can't deny I like my new self, the fact that I no longer feel like a freak. Ironic huh.
