-CIRCUS- (scare actors xCO)

Aurélie comes from a divorced family. Most of the time, she lives with her mother, but whenever she stays with her father, there is always a good chance that she will find herself involved in something she probably should not be doing. Her father has a talent for attracting trouble, excitement, and unusual situations, and Aurélie often gets caught up in them.

Every year, she helps her father run his Halloween carnival, a seasonal attraction that draws visitors from all over the area. The carnival is known for its elaborate decorations, talented performers, and terrifying haunted attractions. Aurélie has been involved for years, helping behind the scenes and getting to know the actors and staff who return each season. For her, the carnival is more than just an event-it is a tradition and a place filled with familiar faces.

This year, however, things are different.

Because of an incident involving her mother, Aurélie was unable to travel to the carnival when it first opened. While everyone else was busy preparing for opening night and welcoming the first guests, she was forced to stay behind. By the time she was finally able to make the trip, the carnival had already been operating for more than a week.

As she walks through the entrance, the familiar sights and sounds immediately surround her. The smell of autumn leaves and food stalls fills the air, distant screams echo from haunted attractions, and colorful lights illuminate the pathways. Excited to reunite with the actors and staff she knows so well, she heads inside to find them.

What she expects is a warm welcome and a week's worth of stories she has missed.

What she gets is something entirely different.

The moment she meets the performers, she is greeted by a surprise so unexpected that she can hardly believe it. In fact, it is not just one surprise waiting for her-it is two.
