"To prove what exactly? That because you killed someone, a human, that I would be open to trusting you?" He chuckled which made Codie's body shiver. "It was a nice thought." Codie replied as her body trembled against the other, his claws tapping against her back, teasing the flesh beneath her shirt.

The night came fast and each show had came to its end, the tents were a lot fuller than expected. Harlequin's body ached but he forced his complaints down his throat, because next time, it might be Jester's cock that actually chokes him. "This is where you will stand." Jester was instructing Codie who looked like she had actually just woke up not long ago, her hair was a mess and she was paler than usual. That or she was sick. Harlequin kept forgetting just how weak humans were when it came to monsters. "Got it." Codie rubbed her eyes. "And this is where no one else will see us right?" She asked looking around with Pierrot right behind her. "Yes, my love, we've already made sure this area was a safe spot." He answered Codie who frowned softly but nodded. Harlequin almost hated that he caught it, but there was something in the pocket of Codie's blue hoodie, her hand was wrapped around the end of it. Was she actually considering going through with the idea of killing someone? No way. She was human. She would back out last second. He did not see her as the type to take a life. The five of them got in their hidden positions, Harlequin's body was pressed against the brick wall, right next to Pierrot whose eyes were locked on Codie's body. She stood in the open but near the tents, looking like a complete sore thumb. "Oh, she's a stupid bitch, I thought we told you and your freak ass clowns to get out of our town?" He heard a girls voice. Codie stood there looking at the three, like planned, she took two steps back that would lure the trio into the laid out trap. "I mean yeah, you did tell us to get out, but that's the great thing about threats." Codie smiled at the first girl. "I don't have to listen to the threat, I just have to act the moment its presented to me." She said. And I swear no one expected this. Not even Jester. But Codie was fast to remove her hand she kept hidden in her hoodie pocket, and she swung. And she didn't just swing anything. She swung a knife. Her body tackled the first girls and with no warning, no chance for the other to scream. The knife was shoving itself into the girls chest, blood was quick to rush out, leaving the first girl gurgling on her own blood as the blood filled her mouth. This was NOT part of the plan. This was the TOTAL OPPOSITE OF THE PLAN.

"You will be play the role as bait." Jester turned to Codie who frowned at him. "You're going to kill them?" She asked. Jester stared before his eyes fell to his claws. "Yes." He answered short.

"Oh, that reminds me, doll here was actually doing some interesting research earlier before I told her we were leaving." Harlequin grinned in Codie's direction who blushed before shaking her head at him. "What kind of research?" It threw her off, because the question actually came from Jester. His eyes on her as Codie fidgeted. "I was browsing the black market, you know to help with your meals, I know I still have a long way to go to understand everything, but this could help from risking getting someone caught, or raise suspicions by bodies dropping." Codie explained. "The smaller town you visit, the less people you can um, hunt." She rubbed the side of her neck with her free hand. "So I just thought if I could order these special meats, you wouldn't have to risk your safety, but if you like it fresh then I can understand that as well." Codie nervously said. Ticket Taker glanced to Jester. "That would be your call, we've considered it before, and would it be safer than-" "Yes, but whose to say this black market doesn't raise suspicion? I'm sure after you order a few times, someone will catch on, or worse, one of those bad humans could report it and then what happens?" Jester frowned. "It's not a terrible idea, but it's not safe." Jester glanced to Codie. "Find another way if you're determined to help, but not with the internet." He leaned his head back as his eyes closed. Codie blushed before sighing softly. Pierrot squeezed his loves hand as if supporting her idea, it made her smile softly at him. She guessed she could write out ideas on how to lure humans away from busy areas, even if it means she has to be part of the reason these humans have to die. It's no better than hunting for a hog or a deer. It was the circle of life, and these five were predators, without food? They would starve. Codie rested her head against the back of the sofa, trying to figure out different ways one could kill a human. It sounded cruel on her end. But she signed up for this life the moment she chose Pierrot. Codie's eyes closed as her face rested against the red clown's shoulder, who smiled at the touch. "Are you tired, my love?" He asked her. Codie nuzzled against him. "Just thinking, big guy, I want to find a way to help you guys kill humans, without getting wrapped up in the possible thrill of it." She yawned but she could feel everyone's eyes on her now. She opened her eyes and her blood ran cold. "Oh, um-" Harlequin let out a laugh before he grinned wickedly at her. "I'm pretty sure we call that an intrusive thought." 

Thank you to everyone who got me to 100 likes!

Harlequin actually frowned at her. "Why are you so different?" He asked her now. Codie blushed standing there. "Because.. being different makes things slightly more entertaining, even if this is a lot for me to process, it makes me understand you guys a bit more.. but now I'm horrified to think that Pierrot fed me human and not chicken." She said. Harlequin looked at her. "It was probably human, they taste the same." He shrugged as Codie looked at him horrified. "That's not funny, I'm sure they don't." She argued as Harlequin grinned at her. "How do you know? You've never tried anything outside of animal it seems, so whose to say Pierrot didn't feed you human meat?" He teased as Codie stood there feeling sick before shaking her head and glared. "I'm calling your bluff." She argued. Harlequin rolled his eyes at that. "Do what you want, I'm going inside to eat, are you going to return to Doctors nest and pretend you didn't see a thing? Or are you going to be daring and reveal yourself to my family, letting them know you saw everything and won't be running?" He asked her. Codie really liked her chances with the first idea, but how long could she pull off acting oblivious before she cracks under pressure? She looked over her shoulder towards the other tents, before her eyes fell on the other. "I guess I'm a risk taker, because I'd like to join you inside the black tent." She answered Harlequin whose eyes grew wide but so did his grin with amusement, he chuckled offering his hand to her as his tendrils returned. "Well my dear, let's see how they react to you entering the sacred place we have our meals, as a family." He smirked leading her inside the tent but in seconds. All eyes were on her. Including her loves. Pierrot stood to his feet in alarm. But Harlequin was grinning from ear to ear, as if taking enjoyment in this. "Guess who wants to join us for dinner?"

(Yes I like using tags, don’t judge me, and if you do, be nice about it or I’ll cry, k thanks! <3)

"You are beautiful, and I'm not running." She told him as more tears formed in his eyes before he shoved his face into her chest hugging her. Codie brought her hands to the back of his head, caressing the other as her fingers brushed through his hair. "Stay the night with me."

That is not okay, do better.

"A normal person would have at least tried to scream for help, yet you remain quiet as a mouse, a little too obedient." Harlequin looked at her as Codie shrugged. "What can I say? I'm not normal." She replied. Harlequin stared. "Did you eat?" He asked. Codie nodded. "A drugged apple, super delicious, amazing after math, but waking up tied to a bed? Yeah, that was not part of the plan, I might skip out on buying another one on the way home, I don't need to get that high again for a while." She complained pulling on the chain.

I moved to Wattpad with it, you’ll find my link on my profile and that will be where chapters 1-4 are at, I try to update daily and this way, tumblr doesn’t get me for word count limits (which is silly btw)

A new day came and the urge to sleep in was more of a desperate need than a want. Codie turned over on her side snuggling close to one of her pillows, before it was shooting across the room and she was springing up. "I'M GOING TO BE LATE." Her eyes were on the clock on the wall; she had exactly twenty minutes until her shift started. "Shit shit shit." She scrambled to her feet before striping and grabbing another wrinkled shirt, she really needed to invest in an iron. She didn't have time to eat or even watch tv, she grabbed her shoes stumbling as her body collided with the wall more than once, her brown hair was a mess that she tried to aggressively comb with her fingers to tame it. When she got outside, she hissed at the sunlight that poured down on the streets, but her rush to work slowed down at the people on the streets handing out flyers. They were dressed up in pink outfits with their faces hidden behind white masks, each with a different symbol. "Oh wow, how cool!" She mused walking down the street as the actors pushed the flyers at the people walking down the street, children would reach out but the actors would pull the papers away from their grasps. It made Codie guess the circus wasn't meant for children, that was a shame, but with the word horror attached to that circus's name, she supposed it made sense. She paused when an actor walked in front of her, the smile was drawn on as he tilted his head offering her the flyer. She just smiled in response before taking it as her eyes scanned over it a second time. It definitely had her interest, but how did one purchase tickets to attend? Her eyes were traveling before it dawned on her as to why she was even outside. She needed to get to work! The day went by, but her focus kept falling on her coworker, Carol, she would notice how Carol would lash out before turning it into a quick apology. It made Codie frown. "I had another fight with my parents; I think it gets worse each time I go home." Carol sighed during their break. Codie's eyes were on the brunette. She could relate to trouble at home; it was one of the reasons she left and moved here. "And talking doesn't help?" Codie looked to her as Carol let out a bitter chuckle in reply to the question. "It never does." When Codie's shift was over, she was quick to notice just how many flyers were on the street, it was like people just tossed them down. "So much litter." Codie knelt down to pick up a few flyers to toss away. Codie stood back up and let her back pop before turning her attention towards the circus. She lingered there for a moment before she headed home for the day. She slipped into her apartment as she removed her shoes with a happy sigh of relief, her legs led her to the kitchen before pulling open the fridge for a bottled coke and some cheap ramen that she grabbed from the pantry. She would need to eventually get better at shopping for groceries. But for now, this would work. After a meal that followed with a shower. Codie stepped out onto her balcony attached to the apartment as she leaned over the railing, she had the perfect view of the circus from here. "Soon." She hummed. End of Chapter 02. (Note: I did not realize there was a word count limit, so the chapters will be around this length just so I don't come across errors while posting, I hope you guys are enjoying the fanfic so far! <3)
