Circus || Jerome Valeska Fanfiction

Mavis Dawson was only 8 years old when she was sold into Haly's circus.

"She had read about the circus in books before, the warm and welcoming undeniable fun that it all was, with funny clowns, and beautiful acrobats that all made you feel absolutely comfortable and happy. This place didn't feel like what she read though, there was an almost disturbing evil that loomed over the entire place casting negative energy through the whole area and beyond. Mavis wanted to enjoy it, and figured she soon would once she got comfortable, but looking around at the creepy painted faces and dimly lit attractions she felt anything but comfort and happiness."

No one could possibly prepare the young girl for what awaited her beyond the gates of Haly's circus. After all, the circus arrives without any warning. And unfortunately for Mavis, her whole life was a circus.
