Introduction
We will be presenting to you tonight the sad fate that some of this world carry with them.
Children whom God has abandoned, struggling to avoid being cast away in the gutters.
Children who can’t even carry the trembling limbs they were born with.
These children cry out, accidentally, without reason, words distorted by their malformed tongues
As the dark clouds of misery grace their little heads.
They smile as they dream of their mother’s embrace, long gone…
Oh, the deformity!
DEFORMITY!
Drop by and see the show tonight…
Drop by and see the show…
Deep in the woods, far beyond all the trees
Follow the road, don’t be afraid of it
Come join the fun, come join the revelry
Come join the fun, here at the circus
The characters here all look so very strange
Wide, beaming smiles, all staring down at you
But it is all good-natured fun and games
Here at the show at Dark Woods Circus
One with two heads on the same body
A diva deformed without will to sing
Lastly, a monster that feasts upon the frozen limbs and parts of his own kind
Anyone at all wouldn’t dare to love me in this wretched form that I carry now
Please tell me why you look at me with those eyes? It’s so painful, that haunting stare
It hurts to be, yes it hurts to be so, but hurting is better than nothing at all
It’s what she said, so we continue this circus for eternity
But it’s so much fun! It’s so much fun! This circus is so much fun
I let a sigh for my clouded eyes, I feel they are rotting but it’s no surprise
I want to die, I just want to die, Won’t anyone free me from this prison of life?
But there’s no escape from this awful fate, for all of us this life is the only way.
They turn and twist their deformed selves to try and be normal
But still they cannot even walk down the city streets as anyone else would
Everyone knows the feeling, illuminated by the streetlights, but not them.
This child must cower and cry alone.
I suppose the shadows are cast long on these little ones.
Trying to fit into the normality of all of you.
Whether it's your first visit, returning, or if you're alone...
Ah, you're here, you're here!
Drop by and see the show tonight...
Drop by and see the show... at the Dark Woods Circus...
...it's fun.

He Was Just Waiting For The Next Audience To Go To His Cage, He Was Staring At The Plate..
"Ahahaha! Look! a Weirdo! That is Eating Flesh! Yuck!" An Audience said as She Was Laughing.
Kai Was Just Enduring The Audience's Critics, Until it Echoed To His Mind...
"Yuck!" "A Weirdo" "Eating Flesh?!"
It All Echoed To His Mind.
"Oh, my name's Natsu miss." She said, then looked back once more where White had been led off to. She was deeply worried for her. She heard the sound of shuffling dirt beside her and turned to see the boy who had been pulled over by White earlier take a seat on the ground. She smiled down at him. "I'm Natsu. What's your name huh? You gunna help free everybody too hmm? Sounds interesting doesn't it! kind of like a movie, or a video game. Maybe a computer game..." she mumbled the last bits to herself as she tried to categorize the situation into a fake world.

"Alright, Natsu. I'm gonna answer one question at a time." He sighed, taking a moment to collect himself. "First: Liz is another attraction in the Circus. She's got problems just like everyone else here. Second: What the hell would you like me to do? I can't help White right now!" He looked at Tzar, an eyebrow raised.
"I'll ask you again: What's yer name, kid?" Ben moved away before he could respond, toward Liz's cage. He watched her for a moment, then picked out where the Chairman's crony sat in the dark, a whip cradled in his lap.
Damnit.
He sighed, then grabbed his keys and moved to where the "whip master" sat.
"Hey!" The words seemed to catch the man off guard. He turned toward Ben.
"What?"
Ben gritted his teeth together. "Knock it off."
"Fuck you, Groundskeeper." Ben grinned at the man and unsheathed his KA-BAR, the 9 1/2" blade seeming to absorb the light.
"I'm sorry? I couldn't here you from all the way over here." The smaller man paled.
"I-uh...The Chairman's gonna find out about this!" Ben grinned fiercely.
"Put it on my tab." He took a step toward the "whip master" and the crony stood, dropping the whip. He fled into the darkness. Ben sighed and sheathed the knife as Liz watched him carefully. He looked at her, lips pursed.
White was shoved into a dimly lit room, the door slamming behind her. She looked around the room, her ears twitched as fast as they could until she spotted a shadowy figure stand up in the corner of the room. "My dearest daughter, or should i call you White, like everyone else here seems too...Hmm, would you like that better, i think you would." He said smugly, using the horse whip in his hands to trace a line down her right arm. "Now, now, don't look so mean, i only want to talk..." he paused to let out a small, sarcastic chuckle, "You see, i knew i couldn't trust you to simply obey what i "said", but if some "reinsurance" of what i could do to you if i found out you were still asking people for help then well, maybe that might put you in your place...." his expression changes from exaggerated happiness to pure anger, "Don't you think." he said, pushing her to the ground a whipping her across the face, cutting her. White felt hot blood run down her right cheek as her farther knelt down over her and lifted her chin with his finger until they made eye contact. "I suggest you and who ever is helping you stop this bullshit now your i'll just start making things worse around here." He said through clenched teeth, hitting her across the other cheek and drawing blood yet again, "God you lucky you my main attraction.." he smirked, "or i would have simply killed you by now." he said, waving a hand at her, signaling the watchman to come into the room and take her back to her cage.
White landed on her knees when they shoved her back into her cage. She turned around a growled loudly at them, only to be met with laughter, "Save it for the audience wolfy." they said, hitting her cage with the back of their hand before walking away. She let out a quiet "hmph" and crawled of to her water troth and, for the second time to day, washing blood off her face, only this time it wasn't blood for a tenderloin.

"Why would I want to do that?" He unlocked her cage and stepped inside. Turning back toward Liz, he looked at her with concern.
"Is there anything I can do to help?" He could see the tares in her clothes where the whip had ripped through. The big man reached into his pocket suddenly, searching for something.
