    You were loved. The Beloved Little Princess, the servants coo as the little girl passes through the halls with her brothers, always attentive and protective. Your father, albeit busy behind his desk, always made time for you. However that all changed when your new mother was introduced, a step-sister following. She reminded you of a doll. She was bright and cheerful at first but since your brothers didn't accept her, and your father barely paid attention to her, she started to act differently. Your new mother wanted to make her daughter the princess of the L/n family, and she will do anything, anything at all to make it happen. The first step was getting you out of the picture. Little by little, with staged accidents which her daughter gladly played the part, their love, trust, and respect for you disappeared. The pair always played the victim, accusing you of not wanting them to be apart of the family. Years flew by with this torment, no matter how much your pleaded, begged them to realize that you would never do any of that. They never listened, and the breaking point came when you finally realized that nothing will ever change. It will always be her, not you. So, the first chance you got you left that house. Best decision you could ever make. The small cramped apartment might be a drastic change from your lavish bedroom, but you were away from them. You wanted to turn a new leaf in this small city and have a normal loving life. Who knew that you'd be living a life far from normal as a horror circus rolls into town and you catch their attention when you saved their quiet Pierrot. The love you so craved from family, he will give it to you, destroy anything that dares to snuff it out, and give you all that is his. Though, he might not be the only one...

    WATTPAD BOOKS EDITION How do you trust the ground when all you've known is flight? In this breathtaking debut, Leigh Ansell has created a compelling, heartbreaking, and truly engaging story about a young girl used to flying high only to be faced with living life with her two feet firmly on the ground . . . Seventeen-year-old Corey Ryder can't remember a time when she wasn't gliding through the air of Cirque Mystique's big top. As a trapeze artist in a traveling circus, Corey wakes up every day in a different place, buzzing for the moment she can suspend gravity during the night's performance. When the circus pulls into small-town Sherwood, California, everything seems normal - aside from meeting the exceptionally cute Luke Everett at a local diner. But that night, in the midst of the performance, tragedy strikes and flames overtake the tent. While Corey narrowly escapes, in the ashes of the circus pitch lies the only home she's ever known. Repeatedly thrown out of her comfort zone, Corey must learn how to push toward her future without forgetting her past, what it means to be a daughter to a mother she's never known, and how to navigate the confusing magic of first love, even as she performs the high-wire act of being true to who you really are.

    "It's all fun and games till someone falls in love" The circus finally arrived to your town after five years since the last one yet it can't help but bring a sense of dread instead of the usual excitement pooling at the base of your stomach. Mainly for four reasons: •It appeared out of nowhere in the middle of the night. •Children are not allowed inside thanks to its heavy horror themed attractions •It last for 30 whole days •And five workers seems a bit too excited to welcome you to their performances. But you can't back down now, can you? Especially since you have promised your best friend to be there for her as she gets over her fear of clowns. You will just have to deal with an clingy pierrot, a cocky harlequin, a cold ticket taker, a curious doctor and a mysterious jester. . . . . . Mh? Wasn't there also a sweet fool?

Behind the curtains of the Freak Circus live seven monsters trapped in a world made for human amusement. Among them were beings once called angels─until one was killed by the very humans who came to watch and the other by her own kind. Grief turns to bitterness, trust begins to break, and the cage grows darker with every loss. In a place where even angels fall and the weak do not survive, the monsters must face what the cage is slowly turning them into. 𝘚𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘰𝘴 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘮𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘬𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘺.

    𝗙𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝗸𝘀. 𝗢𝗻𝗲 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗹. 𝗔𝗻 𝗘𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗢𝗯𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻. "𝗧𝗵𝗲𝘆 𝘀𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗶𝗿𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗼𝘄𝗻; 𝗶𝘁 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗺𝘀 𝗶𝘁." For Y/N, life is measured in double-shot espressos and the quiet, protective comfort of her boss's gaze. Y/N's world is small, safe, and caffeine-stained-until the night the Freak Circus rolls into the outskirts of town under a blood-red moon. ​They aren't just performers. Behind the porcelain masks of Pierrot, the jagged grin of Harlequin, the manic energy of Jester, the clinical coldness of the Doctor, and the commanding shadow of the Ticket Taker lies a hunger that has rotted for centuries. ​When they step into her coffee shop, Y/N feels a terrifying sense of deja vu. Y/N doesn't know them, yet Y/N remembers the weight of their touch. Y/N doesn't know their names, yet their soul aches with a tragedy that hasn't happened yet-or perhaps, it already has. ​A debt was written in blood in an ancient wood. A promise was made as the monsters burned. And now, they have come to collect what is theirs.

    Well.. Harlequin and MC but i rewrote the scene from the game to make it more calmer for my friends. Just a small spoiler, it may be bad but also freaky? I may add more to this, depending on if anyone who reads it actually likes, if i wanna write the freakier part, or if my friends decide i should continue it. **Pierrot prob next >.<**

    Scarlett was born to the rhythm of a traveling circus,a life of forced smiles, perfect pirouettes, and a hollow heart. In life, she was a master of three things: the breathtaking grace of the aerial silks, dance and the clinical precision of a taxidermist's blade. Behind a mask of polite elegance, she was a predator who viewed emotions as nothing more than a script to be recited. ​When a fatal "curtain call" drops her into the crimson grime of Hell, Scarlett finds herself in a world where souls are the ultimate currency and power is bought in blood. Armed with nothing but her wits and an uncanny ability to mimic the very humanity she lacks, she begins to navigate the hierarchy of Pentagram City. ​But in a realm governed by chaos, her calculated silence catches the eye of the most dangerous showman in history: Alastor, the Radio Demon. He finds her lack of a "true" soul fascinating; she finds his theatrics an amusing challenge. In a game of manipulation where both players refuse to lose, Scarlett must decide if she's willing to sign her life away-or if she'll weave a web strong enough to trap the stag himself. ♤♡◇♧ This story is inspired by...

    When sixteen-year-old Violet and her brother Jason move into their late grandmother's crumbling house, they expect cobwebs and creaky floorboards-not a padlocked attic stuffed with boxes that hum like they remember. While cleaning, they break open a dusty old crate mislabeled "Tax Records - 1940s"-and find photographs. Black-and-white. Blurred at the edges. Smiling teens in costumes that shouldn't exist. A ballerina with empty eyes. A jester with a smile too wide. A boy handing out tickets with frostbitten hands. And their grandmother, alive and laughing, surrounded by performers long dead. Everyone in the photo died in this town. All of them were labeled accidents. Suicides. Unexplained disappearances. But the stories never lined up. Now, with the circus returning for the first time in decades, the truth starts to crawl back up through the floorboards. Violet and Jason must uncover how their grandmother was connected to the cursed performers... and why their deaths were only the beginning. Because the circus doesn't just haunt the town. It feeds on it. And this time, it's hungry.
