I looked at the huge circus in front of me and at my mother as the gaunt, grey sky boomed with loud thunder. She stood in mid air whimpering in pain. A strong invisible force held me back from helping her. Tears rolled down my cheeks because of my helplessness and anger. Suddenly I could move. I took a step towards the circus but froze in my tracks when I watched my mom fall from the highest point in the circus. "MOM" I yelled, waking up with a jolt. ********** Autumn Ren. She perfectly fits the category of 'A little sass and a lot of badass'. She's 18, has great friends, and has a sweet family. A sweet yet incomplete family.

And Autumn being the curious girl she is, is dying to know but afraid to find. Will these mysteries open up a beautiful world or a terrible truth to her?
