************************

  I woke up to the sound of crows caulking. I was in the middle of nowhere lying on a grassy field.

  'How the hell did I get here?' Was the first thing I thought of. Then I remembered…

  It was a dark and stormy night. I was in a hurry to get home because it was te. I must’ve not paid attention when I was crossing the road because before I knew it I was ying on the floor, blood everywhere and breathless. The truck driver came out looking worried as hell and bystanders rushed to the scene. The st thing I saw was the half moon.

  Did I die? Is this heaven? I decided to get up and look for some sign of civilization. I probably didn’t die because there’s no way this is heaven.

  I walked around for about 2 hours until I saw a car. Wait no it’s a carriage being pulled by what looked like a horse but it still counts because it’s civilisation.

  “Hey! Wait! Stop!!” I shouted as I ran in front of the carriage.

  The carriage stopped and the coachman came down to address me. He was really short, had blonde hair and…pointy ears. Maybe they were a circus act.

  “Please I need help, you see I-”

  “Ah! Get out of the way you beggar” He shouted looking at me up and down.

  Beggar! Me! How!? That was when I noticed the clothes I was wearing. I was wearing this hideous rag dress with the most unfashionable scandals and I can only imagine how my hair looked.

  The coach man threw a couple of coins at me and again told me to leave.

  “No sir. I’m not a beggar I just need help-”

  “What is going on over there!? Why aren’t we moving”

  The coachman bowed as a huge woman walked out the carriage.

  “I’m sorry ma’am, it’s just this beggar who has refused to leave the way. I tried to shoo it away with money but it refused to budge”

  IT!?

  “Hmmm…. What is it that you want?”

  “Good day ma’am. I’m so sorry to disturb you but I need help. You see I’m a bit lost and if you could just help me get to the closest town or follow you to your circus I will be grateful”. Thank goodness she’s listening to me.

  “Circus? I’m not sure what you mean by that but…” she looked at me scanning all my features for a while which made me uncomfortable.

  “Get in the carriage. I shall help you”

  "Woah. Thank you ma'am"

  In the carriage I sat at one side while the big dy sat at the other.

  "So... emm Miss where are we going-"

  "What is it now peasant? You know you're really not meant to talk to me, have you got no manners?"

  Peasant? This woman is quite rude.

  "I'm sorry but where are we going?"

  The big dy chuckles mischievously.

  I really don't think this is a good idea

  A while ter the carriage stopped. That must mean civilization. Finally!

  I got out of the carriage and while we where at civilization it was in front of a building that looked so lifeless and other carriages with people wearing chains and the most depressed eyes I've ever seen.

  What kind of circus was this?

  Suddenly a tall slim guy who also had pointy ears came over to us.

  "Ah! You're back already Mrs Large"

  So her name is actually rge.

  "Yes, yes. Let's do this fast I have things to do"

  "Sure. I know how busy you are. Name your price"

  Huh what are they talking about. These people are weird and I don't feel safe. I feel like I should run.

  I was about to run when I felt a painful whip on my back. As if the whip was a snake it wrapped itself around me.

  "Aaah! What are you doing! Let go of me!"

  "Muahahahahah. Where were you going. It's hard to find some sves with will these days"

  Sves?!

  I look at the big dy whose grinning at me. Does she find this funny.

  "This isn't right! You're selling me?! You said you were going to help me! You said you would help, You said you would" I burst into tears. Is this a sick prank, if it is I don't find this funny end it now.

  "Let go! LET GO!" I continued to struggle. I saw the faces of the other sves who looked at me with pity. I was still struggling when I felt a huge, painful shock in my body and bnked out.

  Na... this is definitely hell.
