Cirque du Freak

You always knew that not everything in this circus was as smooth as it seemed, which is why they didn't let you go; you knew too much. The Jester, or Jester as they called him within the circus, always kept an eye on you, making sure you didn't say anything unnecessary, and since you were his assistant, it was easy for him to do so. So when she, Lily, appeared, everything went downhill. Pierrot was crazy about her, and Harlequin tried to provoke Pierrot's emotions by clinging to Lily in every way. It seemed even the Jester, the Ticket Taker, and the Doctor were interested in her. The curvy brunette attracted the five of them more and more every day, and you, you were afraid history was repeating itself after the Columbine tragedy, not even three years had passed since Lily's arrival. One day, you were cleaning the Jester's tent and heard the clatter of heels.
