 the little fallen star



 standing on the stage her eyes were full of hate. her performance was very complicated and that is exactly what Sindy had  intended it to be. performing aerials and flips across the stage she danced her gymnastics routine to the up beat song little talks. the lights in the school hall were on as all the parents and children watched as her eyes burned with a single passion. to finally make the one critic of her impressed. finally finishing the last move she held the ending position looking around to see the entire audience cheering at her hard work. everyone but her farther. he sat there not even clapping but staring with his arms folded at the 12 year old girl.



 she was bellow average height yet not quite small. her thin body gave loads of flexibility though she had never had a single lesson in her life and her ice blue eyes stood out against her pale skin and silver hair. some might call sindy a sweet little angle yet her hair was her curse. probably due to the malfunction of genes she was born with the un-natural colour which lead to her mothers death. on look at her and her mother screamed. "oh god i have been cursed with a demon!" to which she ended her life terrified of the child from hell. this in all caused her farther to hate her with all his guts and her older brother also hated her(not because he mourned for his mother as he had no memories of her but from copying is farther.)

 stepping into the changing room sindy started to change back into her normal cloths as she lay the borrowed leotard on the bench bedside her. pulling her hair out of the bun she grabbed her bag yet before she could leave found herself being pushed into the wall by Kacie. a tall fat girl who was spiteful in every way. she was surprisingly popular in this cruel town even with her disgusting ways as everyone else laughed at sindy. "you cant even afford your own clothes? what a freak!" she pushed her back into the bars as the girls laughed. this was true. her cloths were indeed hand me downs from her older brother and the leotard was the schools. noticing this kacie snatched the leotard off the bench and before sindy had a chance she tossed it into the bin whilst the others laughed at her. holding back tears sindy grabbed the leotard out of the bin and walked towards the door just to get her hair yanked back by kacie. it ripped her head on her shoulders and with a yelp her hair was let go as she continued he journey to place the leotard back in the box where it belonged.

 after that she walked towards the door full of dread hoping everything would be alright., yet to no avail as her farther stared at her with her brother as the left the premise of the school to go home. the car journey was a long and silent one in the late night yet sindy treasured every second of it as she knew the horrors that would await when she would get home.happiness never lasts forever though and soon she found herself walking through the door to her house as her brother and father entered behind her.

 slamming her head into the side table her farther yelled out. "you bitch! do you know how hard it was to st there whilst you do that to me?! you know full well your mother loved gymnastics and you force me to sit and watch you do the exact same as she did not only bringing back memories but putting her beauty in a bad light.you are a disgrace who deserves to die" he then slammed her head into the wall then kneed her in the face before leaving to go to the pub.

 she was left knocked out for a while on the floor as blood oozed from her nose yet soon she came too to find her brother staring at her. he went over to her and hit her in the nose creating more pain to arise in her. "you idiot you knew how much dad hates when you do that and you put him through that pain! you are a mistake and are horrible!" he kept hitting her as she covered her face with her hands trying to shield herself. "you might as well be dead!" with this she didn't know why yet anger filled her blood as her eyes became filed with hatred as the next hit was blocked by her hand as she stood up and kicked her brother right where the sun don't shine before punching him in the jaw. then sh garbed his hair and slammed it into the table where she stood back as her angler died down. she looked in horror as she suddenly realised what she had done. how could she do that? string in horror suddenly the door opened and her farther steeped in with the fumes of cigarettes and bear so strong sindy could smell it from the other side of the house. her stomach turned as she realised what would happen now and she was correct.

 looking t the sight her farther screamed running towards his PRECIOUS LITTLE SON who at this point was exaggerating the pain an crying out all sorts of things from her pushing him down the stairs and even using fire magic to tr and kill him which her farther believed in his drunk state. grabbing her by the throat her held her tight till her face went blue then pushed her outside refusing to let her in as she sat there in the cold night not knowing what to do.

 she decided to run way into the cold city streets of London, there was no one she knew who would take her in and the police would certainly get her in trouble for attacking her brother so she decided to run as far as she could yet her 12 year old body couldn't take her far without running out of breath so turning down an ally way she decided to take shelter behind  bin for the night.

 suddenly a hand grabbed her mouth and she froze in fear as she tried to scream but to no avail. a husky voice came out "hello. i have heard about your skills from someone and i want you to work for me." said the the strange man as tears rolled down sindys face. she tried to escape the mans grip but it was no use then suddenly something hit her head and everything went black.



 when she woke she found herself in a weird small room with one small window letting in barely any sunlight as dust was the only ting there and hovered thickly in the room. the walls were so close you could place your hand on each side as she looked at the only  other things in the room. they were 2 dusty hammocks hung up as there sat a boy in the corner curled up. he had straggly mousy blond hair and grey eyes as he stared at sindy. his eyes were covered in bags as he looked with curiosity appon the new girl in the caravan. she stared back too with hatred and fear in her eyes as she had no clue what was going on. "don't worry its OK in hear. oh by the way welcome to 'cirque Dolore'!" he said this with a sympathetic kind  touch in his voice as realisation flooded sindys mind. opening the door as fast as she could she found a small set up of caravans pulled by horses and a tents hung up as people sat around at random places she was scared so she started to run before bumping into someone. looking up she saw a scruffy old man with grey rat tail hair that hung loosely over his face. frown lines were stretched across his face as his ugly eyes stared down t her before a sinister smile crept across his face showing his missing black teeth. his ugly eyes started to glitter as he spoke in a low raspy voice. "ah your awake now, why not show me what you can do?" sindy recognised this voice as the one that which had snatched her the day before causing hatred to flood over for this disgrace of a man. before she had the chance to reply the man spoke up again "oh an before you get any ideas about leaving we have hounds that could easily tear you up if you try to leave an if you think you can do a lazy performance then you will be punished." saying this he held up a stock whip between his hands yet as she turned her head towards the strange boy he nodded and mouthed 'just do it!' so walking slowly towards a flat terrain of grass she began to perform the routine from the day before yet filled with fear as the trembling of her body made a few faults in place yet she finished the performance to see the man walk up to her before slashing her on the arm with the whip causing her to yelp in pain. this caused a frown to cross the way past the mans face. as he yelled in a harsh tone "PROPERLY!"

 sindy sighed to herself and started again whist putting in effort as she became scared of getting hit again. after this time a small smile creeped its way across the mans face as he looked at her staring at him with hate. "your skilled yes but there are many things you can work on. come here tomorrow morning without fail or you will be punished. you will know me as master Price. go back to your caravan!" full of fear she started to walk back in that direction before trying to turn and leave. she hadn't even taken a step on her new rout when the boys voice came out from behind as she turned to face him he showed her his arm which had a masive scare. " he ant joking hen he says the hounds would go after you! they are trained not to kill but to cause great pain and to bring you back." sindy suddenly realised that his eyes were glazed over as he led her back to the caravan where they both sat talking to each other about where they were before and she leand that h had not much memory's of his past yet he came to the circus when he was 8 where he lost his parents to which they kept him hear and refused to let him go and hid failed attempts just got him into trouble.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"> she went to sleep that night with tears in her eyes as she remembered the horrible events that happened and what could happen in the future. she felt sick to the stomach to think of what would happen tomorrow, she also felt sick from her dinner. eating just chewy fat from the meat of a pig and when he reused some of the performers held her don and forced it down her throat whilst others laughed at her. her life was truly terrible. the tears soon faded as she fell asleep to awake to a painful next day.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"> she woke up early at 5 as the sun blinded her eyes and waking up to aces from the hammock but as slowly as she could he stepped outside hoping nobody would be up at this early hour yet everyone was up and she got  another whip for being late for breakfast by 1 entire minuet. her breakfast was the exact  same as her dinner but scared of the humiliation of the day before she tried to eat it without throwing it back up yet somehow she managed to eat it all. waiting for what would happen next an old lady with long grey hair passed her a brown package. "put this on now!" the command was simple but she understood so going into the  caravan she opened the package to find a beautiful silver leotard with short puffy selves and translucent long sleeves underneath along with translucent leggings attached with a slightly lighter grey skirt that flowed  just above her knee with  light grey star in the centre of the chest placement. she whipped the dust from the window and tried to use it as a mirror as she saw the light skit and star were the same colour as her hair which at first made a ghost of a smile cross her face before she remembered the curse that came with her hair. memories of her farther came back as covered her ears with her hands collapsing onto her knees as she tried to fight the pain it brought.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"> final stepping out of the caravan the circus people looked at her as she stood with the breeze blowing her hair slightly with the sight of an angle in there view. one of the men turned to master prince "she will bring loads of people in" this made him smile with the thought that this would be a chance to get more money so with that he stood up and took her and the boy to the tent to work on skills. the boy turned out to also be a gymnast so he was to teach her new tricks and by the end of the day she had learnt new tricks and had improved her routine. along with gaining new cuts from the whip. this caused her to be exhausted just to find out that there was a performance that night and she would do her routine after the clown to see what the audiences reaction would be.she was then toled that if she made any mistakes or tried anything they could always get themselves out of it and punish her. this caused large fear so she did as she was told and performed her routine with the aww of the audience all entranced by her flowing across the performing circle. near the end of the performance she slipped when doing a flip causing her to fall on her bum as she got back up and continued. the fall just made the audience love it even more as the sweet little star had fallen over. she looked at least 9 with her small figure in the costume with her hair loose which she was surprised was toled to keep down. she left with no emotions as she got struck with the whip as she left the tent as she was scolded for the fall.

<p class="MsoNormal"> after the end of the show a person from the audience went up to Mr price and asked what was the name of te sweet little star who fell over. he then replied  a bit confused "the little fallen star?" to which the person squealed and went running back to the people they obviously were with crying out "hey they are called the little fallen star!" as they left yelling this out others started to repeat the phrase till everyone realised her new name.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"> this new name was yet another curse as Mr price started adding hazards to the arena before her performances without the audience knowing so that in each performance would contain at least one fall to aww the audience of the poor little fallen star. yet this always let him punish her after each performance as there was always some reason or other. he always used the whip for the sole purpose of that piece of weaponry terrified her. over the months more and more people found out about the curious as it was becoming more popular yet sindys anger grew with this as she bottled up each pain to forever remember each and every one.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"> 5 months later she was standing at the side about to go on as she stood emotionless. over the months her pain had left as the only thing she felt anymore was anger and she would never give up that if that was the only thing she could feel. going on to perform like a zombie she started to do the performance and this time polish was on the floor and she slipd after the first cartwheel. she went to continue when a sudden laugh filled the quiet tent. freezing in her place she looked up to the so familiar voice as she saw her farther sat there with her brother laughing at her mistake. "your supposed to be a professional and yet you cant do a thing right?! you are terrible!" he started laughing again and begin throwing popcorn at her as her brother joined in the laughter then soon the entire tent was filed with the screaming laughs that were flooding her ears as some people even began throwing stuff at her. sh looked towards her fathers direction filled with hate as she saw him smirking  at her. she knew that she would get a huge punishment and she hated that. she hated everyone with all her soul.

<p class="MsoNormal"> she ran out of the tent through the other curtain so master price would not see her and ran out of the way of the tent. soon she slowed down to a stop outside one of the caravans as she punched the wall of it breaking the material in the process then sat on the step thinking of everything that had happened throughout her miserable life. she turned to look out at the surrounding fields yet  was met with the sight of something glistening in the sunlight. walking towards the item which was surprisingly close she noticed it was a small silver smooth knife. piking it up to examine it she saw the print of a star  on the mettle handle. it was beautiful, Suddenly she heard the fake gun go of as to scare the audience and as she looked back towards the tent she saw nobody outside as they were attempting to calm the audience back down. she walked towards the tent with hatred burning in her eyes, a burn that would not go out so as she walked she found a bucket that was used for the juggling act filled with oil and flame sticks.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"> the spark in her eye changed as thrill started to sweep over her. she had barley ever been filled with thrill her entire life and as she slowly picket up one of the stickies. right by the bucket was a box of matches so going over to all the entrances of the tent she poured little pools of oil so everyone was trapped like a sheep in a pen and yet they had no clue what was going on outside as she lit a candle and threw it onto the tent causing flames to arise from every corner of the tent trapping everyone inside. some got consumed by the flames instantly whilst others tried to run towards the exits to find that sindy had used a caravan to block one whilst the other she was stood at so for those who had the courage to jump through the flames were caught up and mangled by the knife. waiting for those who left she would jump onto there backs and slit there throats as well as there stomachs leaving them to bleed out one by one but to her  and dismay only 6 people jumped through the flames to escape. the last happend to be the boy who with tears cried out fr her to stop but she found his fear hilarious. trying to run away she stabled his arm and he yelped in pain stopping for a split second which gave her the chance to slit his stomach. "i i th-thought we w-were frie-friends?" he coward back in pain and fear as she walked slowly towards him finding joy in his fear. "you do realise i hate EVERYBODY! we were never friends why would you think that?!" slitting his neck she went back to waiting for someone else to leave the flames which nobody else did.

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"> soon the sky was filled with ash as the circus stood no more. it was almost as if the entire thing had been erased from existence along with everyone who had been in there. in the distance sat the little fallen star on a log looking at the beautiful devise that had freed her from pain. she finally felt something. she found amusement in there suffering and now she didn't want to loose that emotion. she wanted joy in her life and would do anything to keep it. swinging her legs back and forth she started humming a song to herself. this was the best day of her life ever!

<p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal"> chuckling to herself she got up and was about to leave when she heard a crack from behind her from within the near by forest. turning around grabbing the knife tight and moving into a fighting stance she saw a strange looking man. except he wasn't a man surly. he was very tall and wore a smart black suit. he had no face and as she glared at this being ready to fight. when he spoke, "hello child could you do me a favour?" <ac_metadata title="plz help fix the problem for why my story was deleted"> </ac_metadata>
