Freak Show

The First Hunt

When we got outside, it was already dark. The moon was shining into our souls and the stars were glicening in our eyes. I was too busy looking at the sky to notice a big silver gate in front of us. Where are we going? Jessica walked over to the gate which was, as I just notice, crowded by others "Fighters".

So we'll begin our hunt shortly after some explaining to the new comers. Anyone want to explain? - announced Jessica and looked around.
No? Nobody? Ok. So people, police officers, soldiers and more try to invade our circus during the night, when the protection is weakest. So our master decided to send the best ones out to fight and kill. After the mass killing you all just go back and sleep, the guards will get the humans to the kitchens - explained Jessica, the smirk not leaving her face. A clock sounded somewhere in your distance and Jessica looked at her watch.

It's time... All of you take a gun and four knives, and go! Good luck Fighters  - said Jessica amused by our confusion. Pogo raised his head, about to speak but Penny looked at him in a scary way. I nodded, hopefully Penny and Pogo got the message, we need to kill. The people coming this way are going to kill us. If they see we're the weaker ones they'll go straight for us.

Another bell ; but this time the magnificent silver gate sprung open.
Go! - shouted Jessica, motioning forward. Everyone ran forward so we followed the crowd. Soon enough, we heard distant shouts and threats. As we sprinted more and more, the more real this battle became : first I heard it, then I saw it and now I'm about to feel it. My heart was pounding in my throat and I felt dizzy but I had to fight. I saw a man in all black clothes coming towards me with a knife so I took it to my advantage, I shot him in the head. Then came another and  another. This wasn't so hard was it. I could get used to it. What the hell is wrong with me? I'm never gonna get used to murder and cannibalism. I was too lost in track of thoughts to see Penny being choked by a buff man. I turned and there a knife, which hit him square in the forehead. Bingo. All these years of sneaking out and playing darts in a club were playing off. But not in a good way. The rest of the night went pretty smoothly, I killed a couple more people. After killing a couple more, I heard another bell, which must've meant retreat because everyone was going back to camp. Thats when I had a clear view of the battle field, dead bodies surrounded the area, around 150 of them. Most people were covered in blood, thank god I wasn't. But it was over. My first hunt was over.

Thank God.
