taken by Circus

Chapter 2 waking up a nightmare.

When I woke up I heard the noises of animals in cages shaking and the squeaking of metal moving back and forth, I began to feel the movement of wheels rumbling and turning onto the road underneath me.
I knew I was in one of those cages on wheels that you always see lions or zebras in at the Circus.
I started getting up but falling back down being jobbled from the cage.
I stayed down trying to gain strength to hold myself up just for a little while so I can see my surrounding. When I looked outside of the cage it was pitch dark and I could only see the lights from cars zooming on by, I crawled over to the backside of the cage and tried leaning my back against it from keeping myself shaking constantly.
I began to hear something crawling around in the far right corner of my cage, and I new I wasn't alone.
I was terrified of what ever it could be. In my mind I could only think of the worst possible things, but then I heard a whimper right after the wheels of the cage hit a large bump. I kept looking in that direction so maybe my eyes could focus and at least outline how big the animal could be, a light from a car passing hit that side of the cage for a second and my eyes caught a fluffy collie shaking in the corner awww poor baby she must have been cold and scared and not knowing where she is and why she's here, well we can both relate to something.
I tried crawling over to her direction but kept falling down every time I would move a few inches.
I quickly grabbed onto the pillow and several blankets, that they had placed me on when they gave me that shot before I collapsed into a deep sleep... Gosh I was still made about that.
when I finally made it to the poor scared collie I grabbed her onto my lap and wrapped all the blankets around her, she had finally stopped shaking and licked my face as if she was saying thank you every time. I then laid down and placed my head onto the soft pillow. I know one thing is that I'm not letting this dog go.

******************

When I woke up again I could feel the sun warming against my cheeks and I could hear the noises of people moving everything around and shutting trucks and cages. I could finally get up because the cage was no longer moving. I stood up and started starring at all the workers around me building everything up.

"Hey!" Heyyyy!! Hello! Please someone help me! Get me out of here pleaseeee!
as I kept pacing back and forth in the cage as if I was actually one of the animals.

"Oh I'm so glad your finally up, my beautiful ballerina! I heard this voice and it sounded so familiar... It was Mr.Sneezer.

"Your crazy" get me out of here!! I just want to go home... I kept repeating and started to cry, while everyone else was watching me. He came up to my cage and stared at me.

If I open this cage right now. You are not to run. jump. hide. Kick or bite. Understand?

I just crossed my arms. He then shouted for Bryan (the man that gave me the shot that made me pass out)
I was terrified of him. I went to the edge of the cage and hugged onto the collie as if they were going to take her away from me. He opened the cage and came in to grab me. I hugged onto the collie tighter because I didn't want to leave without her. Mr.Sneezer came beside me and grabbed onto the collie which now I could finally clearly see how gorgeous she was. I felt someone lift me up into the air.

"Stop put me down"! Please let go!

although I knew these begging words wouldn't convenes them to do so they where the only words that where spitting out of my mouth like fire...
They took both me and the collie into a room with several dressers and beautiful white tables with the pretty light bulbs that circles around the mirror.
The large man sat me onto one of the tables and strapped my hands onto the side of the table, while Mr.Sneezer placed the collie down and began to tie her up to the other side of the table leg on a long leash. I began to cry not knowing what they wanted from me.

"Don't cry my beautiful! Your going to be our star don't you see!
He shook my shoulders constantly. and kissed my face.
I knew this man was crazy.

why am I here? What do you want?

The two men had left the room as if they were ignoring my questions.
I stared down at my feet while listening to the collie cry and bark at the door.
I heard some laughing and clapping approaching the door from the room I was in and my absolute worst nightmare entered. 4 clowns began clapping and bouncing running all around me screeching in high pitches

"We've always wanted a little girl"
they kept repeating over and over as they played with my hair and examined my face.

The collie next to me kept barking and growling at them all as they kept playing with me.
I tried squirming away but the more I moved the more the ropes that held my hands tied would burn into my skin.
I was wishing I had never gone to the circus and wondering if I was ever going to see my father again.
