The Harrowed Circus by ItsLoz96
14 parts Ongoing Mature
The moon is rising, the show is about to begin... but not everyone will make it out alive. The Lunar Circus isn't a place for children, or anyone faint of heart. There are no tickets, and it only appears under the light of the full moon. This is no ordinary show-it's a spectacle where humans come to witness creatures from fairy tales and nightmares: a bearded mermaid, a vampire contortionist, a werewolf cannonball, and more marvels hiding in the shadows. But as the audience gathers, people begin to vanish. Harrow, the fae ringmaster, is struggling to keep his cursed performers under control, and the danger long whispered about threatens to spill out from behind the curtains. The arrival of a new star, Seraphina, only makes things worse. As she dazzles under the spotlight, suspicion grows. Harrow can't deny his fascination with her-but he can't ignore the fact that she might be the key to the disappearances.

"Smoke and mirrors are for cheap tricks and county fairs, Kenna," he says quietly. "The circus... the circus is where magic and mayhem collide." Nineteen-year-old Kenna Oberman leads a sheltered life taking care of her sickly mother until she's gifted a ticket to the Continent's most beloved circus-Cyrus Hardgrove's Traveling Menagerie for the Magically Minded and Magnificently Curious. Unbeknownst to Kenna, Cyrus Hardgrove has big plans for her. As she's swept into the bedazzling world of aerobatics, lion taming, and ventriloquism, Kenna quickly finds herself the star performer of Hardgrove's spectacular show. But is it all just an illusion? When Kenna realizes she's trapped, bound to the Ringmaster by a dangerous spell, she turns to the only person not enamored by her spine-chilling gift: Theo Goodborough. The sword swallower hasn't spoken a single word to her since she joined the traveling carnival, but he might be her only chance at freedom.

A young girl has issues with herself & contradicting thoughts about the people around her, resulting from negligence from her parents, which eventually leads her down the path of worldwind romance, narcissism, older men, tigers, the circus & an extreme personality disorder. All tragedies are concealed by her wonderful sense of humour. I kept telling them something was wrong. I kept saying that sleeping on my stomach didn't help with the swelling, and that knuckles on my forehead wouldn't slam words into my head. I told him that the pretty lights looked like festive nooses; they didn't make me feel any better. Most of all, I told him that I felt like I was a million different people. He said, "What do you think this is? Bittersweet Symphony?"

Seven years ago the magic of circus carnival entangled her into selling her soul and now she's trapped into a laberinth of misery without any escape. Her only wish- freedom, her destiny- eternal captivity. Until he arrives. π“π‘π„π•πŽπ‘ πŒπ€π‚π‡π„ππˆπ, a twisted soul, a unscrupulous man, with intensions straight out of hell. Just as Selena he fell for the same deception. His only desire- power, his determination- a shattered past. Until she arrives. But the devilish game the circus arranges every year, changes everything. This is a chance for Selenas freedom just as Trevors igniting for revenge. A soul with the price of another. The game is simple yet deadly. Only one can win. But nothing is like it seems. Both are players in a contest that's impossible to prevail. In which their only fate is loss. It's a dance in which illusion and reality, truth and lies, life and death just as love and hate intertwine, banishing Selena and Trevor deeper and deeper into the dangerous secrets of the haunted circus world. ____________ "Welcome ladies and gentlemen, welcome, get your tickets here and enter a magical world full of mystery and games. Let the night with all of its eases begin, till it's sold out to the stars" "If this attraction is so entchanting as they say, can I get a ticket to your heart as well, beautiful?", a deep voice from behind sneaked all the way up into my ear, till attaching into my lost soul, leaving me back with goosebumbs. I turned around and all that I could recognize, was hypnotising me with green. Green like the forest, floated with pumpkin lamps on a rainy autumn day. As all the magic appeared from his eyes and drowned the whole circus in millions of miracles. π•πŽπ‹π”πŒπ„ πŽππ„ πŽπ… 𝐓𝐇𝐄 π‚π€π‘ππˆπ•π€π‹ π’π„π‘πˆ
