acrobat asylum circus contortionist doctor insane insanity john kate madness murder power trapeze wall wattpadprize14

Under the big top of Jensen Three Ring Circus, magical performances abound and tantalize the senses, but when the glitz and glory closes for the night, even the circus world cannot escape madness.    Acrobat Kate the Great lives and breathes for the tightropes, the trapeze, the aerial hoops. In the air she is a free spirit with boundless joy, but on the ground, she’s a prisoner of unspeakable brutality. As her life spins out of control, a one night dance with the devil lands Kate in Rosenton Home for the Criminally Insane.     It is here she is determined to make amends with her sins and to find a cure for her insanity. Her ward mates – a charming farm boy from Texas with a bewitching power to calm Kate, an older Mexican woman obsessed with beauty, a fourteen-year old girl who refuses to eat, a bizarrely upbeat young woman with her eyes on the farm boy, a giant with striking green eyes who lets no one in, and a sixteen-year old young man who shows no emotions beyond pure coldness – are the thin threads between her and becoming engulfed by unseen demons.(CC) Attrib.

Lost Cause » Void Stiles by insatiabIe

❝What's so great about sanity? I don't see you having any fun.❞ When asked to define insanity, a great majority of the Eichen House staff would direct the questioner to a petite brunette by the name of Lita Mitchell. In a building comprised of clinically insane people, too dangerous to roam freely within society, the self-proclaimed lost cause was highlighted like no other. A cold blooded killer like many others, her abnormality came in the form of her mind; her incapability to feel guilt of any form. Logically- she would be locked up in the closed unit, safe & sound in her own complimentary straight jacket. But within the illogical & frequently violent walls of Eichen House, everyone knew that wasn't about to happen any time soon. Crazy had yet to be proven contagious, therefore they saw no reason to isolate her- or prevent her from befriending their newest resident. An insomniac with terrifying hallucinations, he seemed innocent enough; surely no harm could result from allowing him to befriend the notorious Lita Mitchell. Then again, they hadn't met the demon in his head. [season 3B] © 2015 // Aly aka @insatiabIe

Poison Princess by alexfran1999

Lycoris Atropa is a young woman whose beauty hides a deadly secret- poison runs through her veins, bringing sickness and death to all unlucky enough to touch her bare skin. As an Esper, a psychic sub-species of human beings who face massive discrimination, such an ability is a curse, one that has brought her much pain and prevented her from experiencing true, unconditional love. Sold off by her parents to the Rouge Fleur Circus at the age of 15, Lycoris is left alone to contend with the intimidating new reality she has been thrust headfirst into. The circus she now calls home is staffed by non-human performers, like demons, faeries, and even other Espers like herself, all led under the control of the vicious ringmaster, Mr. Fleur. Lycoris finds comfort among her eccentric cohorts, taught in the circus arts to take advantage of her inhumanity to create something spectacular. During her time in the Rouge Fleur Circus, Lycoris discovers her talents as an acrobat and comes to understand her fellow performers, each with tragic stories of their own to tell. While balancing her performing life, Lycoris must learn to come to terms with her own nature as an Esper, reconcile with her painful past, and understand what it truly means to have a place in the world.

The Forbidden Entity (BWWM) by JLB_18

In this world of supernatural beings, power, and greed act as a catalyst for violence and war. Humans are subordinate in every sense and reside at the bottom of the hierarchy. Vampires hunt them for sport, and other beings condemn them to forced labor. Lycans are the only creatures to offer humans peace and solidarity, making their territory a place of refuge for the dwindling species. Most humans live under the security that lycans are honorable enough to keep their word. Thus, they follow their rules and live a quiet and quaint life. Humans can even choose to work at the royal castle for wages.  So, what happens when a cautious eighteen-year-old with a big heart and humble personality decides to seize the opportunity?  Sayora is sensitive, selfless, soft-spoken, and empathetic. She's like a beacon that attracts everything in her path. That notion becomes even more apparent when she arrives at the castle to obtain a position. However, her life takes a drastic turn shortly after her arrival, and Sayora is propelled into a world of lust, sex, violence, danger, history, mates, and carnal desires.  Powerful secrets get unveiled, jealousy arises, and the threat of war looms over the castle. Lycans hold most of the world's power, and their enemies will stop at nothing to dethrone them. Amidst all the turmoil, Sayora learns she's not as innocent as she once believed. . . . . . ⚠️ Read at your discretion.
