The Sinful Circus

Chapter 6: Maze

As the girls exited the show, a long smirk twisted across orpheus’ face, with one swift wave of his hands, a cloud of smoke filled the arena and a small circular trapped door slid open from underneath and suddenly he was gone. The crowds gasped as to them it looked as if he had disappeared into thin air, Clowns on tricycles sped in hastily and began shuffling cards and triangular shaped clothes began to float up and around in circular motions with the lights spiraling into black and white across the sand and gassy air, if anyone had looked closely enough they would notice the clowns had fangs as they began to honk and usher the animals back into cages that rolled away.

Deep underneath a hidden path beneath the show that was recently dug up, Orpheus tossed his hat into a dirt mound filled with skulls, eyes of bright red fading into a pale crimson. “ Her heartbeat was hammering away I could almost dance to it, “ a low menacing chuckle escaped his lips as his hands ran through his raven black hair, releasing a deep chested sigh as they fell to his sides, in that instant two figures peered out from the darkness, approaching the master;

“ Master, would you like us to give them a grand tour? How about a scare?” with another deep laugh, he waved them away and stepped back into the makeshift lift and vanished back into the show.

Gabby and Astoria walked around the carnival a bit, marveling at the displays and animals. Astoria could not shake the feeling as if something was off though, so that sense of panicked alert kept her from actually taking in most of the sight around them.

“Ria…would you like to try that out?” Gabby questioned, grabbing the young girl's attention and pointing to another huge tent.

“Mirror Maze” lit up the front of the black and red tent in blinking neon lights and you could hear screams and laughter coming from within its depths. Astoria felt apprehensive about it but she also did not want to ruin her friend's fun either, so she reluctantly nodded her head and let Gabby lead the way into the tent. It was very disorienting walking into the tent, mirrors surrounded them from all sides and even the floor was made of reflective glass. To make it even more difficult to navigate was the fact that the lights were dim and it almost seemed impossible to not walk into a mirrored wall. The girls let out a shriek as they walked into one such wall and a grotesque and slimy reptilian-like creature appeared on the other side, letting out a hiss as the girls backed away and quickly ran another way. Two sets of eyes watched as the girls tried to navigate their way through the maze and narrowed in concentration as they noticed the smaller girl who had held their master's attention was letting off an energy that they wanted to investigate closer.

“ oooo…looky looky Scythe! look how pretty that girl shines!” One twin giggled manically as he bounced on the balls of his feet before draping themself over the other who stood quietly still watching the girls through one of the glass mirrors.

“mmm. your right Blade, makes me want to get closer and get a taste…I don't think the master will mind, he always shares with us.” Sythe giggled softly as they laid a small peck on the other's cheek.

“Let's go play! Let's go play! I want to see how tasty her blood gets as we play with her body. so so pretty and ....” Blade took a big inhale of air and his eyes suddenly glowed bright red. “ So innocent...ooooo let's hurry and break her in for the master!!!!! he will be so pleased with us!”

The twins giggled at each other. They wore loose black and red jester outfits with a two bell cap. Both twins were very lovely looking with expressive red eyes and shoulder length silver hair. Their skin was pale and their bodies slender yet built with very feminine curves. They laughed once more as they clasped hands and seemed to melt within the shadows to go and play with their prey.
