Welcome to the Vampire Circus

Feeling lips kissing down my cheek and to my neck, I opened my eyes to see Brendon dressed in his red suit and his hair damp on top of me. Turning my head to face him, he kissed my lips and I felt his lips curve into a smile. Turning my body so I would be laying on my back, he disconnected from my lips and had a huge smile on his face. The sad thing is that it made me want to smile back.

"Good morning, baby." he said in a happy mood, which kinda freaked me out. I mean yesterday, he was a perverted, ruthless, iron-fisted ring leader and today he seems like a kind-hearted, nice, in-love ring leader. Did something happen while I went back to sleep?

"Good morning." I said with a hint of confusion in my voice while sitting up while holding the covers against my body.

"Jon is going to bring you some food in 15 minutes, so you better take a shower and get ready before he comes." Brendon told me while unlocking the cuff on my ankle. He then walked over to me and gave me another kiss before saying,"I'll be back to show you around."

"Okay." I said while scooting over to his side as he walked over to the door. When he left, I practically ran into the bathroom and shut the door, locking it. If Jon was coming I didn't want him to come in on me and see me naked, especially after last night. He gave me a lustful look.

Pushing the picture of the look Jon gave me out of my head, I turned on the shower and got in. It was freezing cold, but soon it became warmer and that was when I started to put conditioner in my hair. Rinsing it out, I started to think about why Brendon was in such a good mood this morning.

Why was he in such a good mood? Does he think I'm staring to fall in love with him and have feelings for him? Well, if that's the case than he's got the wrong. I still haven't forgotten what he has done. Maybe while he gives me a tour, I could know where Tre is and we can plan our escape. I really don't want to spend the rest of my life with this monster, in this circus.

Turning off the water, I started to squeeze out the excess water out of my hair and dry my body off before wrapping the towel around my body. Unlocking and opening the door, the steam from the shower escaped and I walked over to the closet. There I saw my permanent uniform I guess. The same dress and boots as I did yesterday. Sighing, I opened the top drawer, finding tons of bras and panties.

"Well, he's definitely not planning on letting me go." I said while grabbing a black strapless bra and red and black, stripped boy shorts. Putting on my dress and boots, I heard the door open knowing who it was. Jon.

He gave me a sinister smile as he walked in holding a bowl and a bottle of apple juice. I honestly didn't want to look at him, so I walked into the bathroom and grabbed a brush before walking out, but I stopped because Jon was all of a sudden in front of me.

"What? No 'good morning' or giving me thanks for bringing you breakfast?" Jon asked while giving me a hurt look as I set my brush down on the bed.

"Thanks for the breakfast and good morning." I said in a "not-wanting-to-do-it" tone as I grabbed the bowl and juice out of his hand before walking to the other side.

Sitting down, I started to eat my bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch and Jon walked over sitting next to me.

"You're different than the other girls." he told me while putting his hand on my leg and move his hand up my leg.

"Oh, really? That's good," I said while moving his hand off of my leg." And I really would appreciate it if you don't touch me. Your lucky I'm even letting you sit next to me."

"Oh, I know I am, but Brendon is lucky to have you as his pet." he whispered in my ear. I started to move to the end of the bed getting annoyed with Jon and his pervertedness.

"Why don't you get your own pet to fuck with then?" I asked angrily before finishing off my cereal.

"I do, but I'm bored with her. You're new and more exciting." he said while sitting behind me and all of a sudden I felt him kiss my neck. I quickly moved away and slapped his face before running over to the other side of the trailer.

"That's what I mean by you being different than the other girls. They'd be afraid to slap or lay a violent hand on us, but not you and that's what I like about you." he told me while walking over to me and I knew I was trapped. The only person that could save me was Brendon, since they listen to him. Jon pinned me against the wall and kissed me roughly. I tried to get him off by hitting him, but it didn't phase him at all.

The next thing I knew we were on the bed his hands were going up my dress. Just when I thought I was going to get raped again, but this time by Jon, he got off of me and kissed me on the cheek before saying,"We'll finish this later." That's when Brendon opened the door and walked in while talking to Ryan. Jon grabbed my bowl and pretended like nothing had happened.

Fucking vampire senses. Brendon could have seen that Jon tried to rape me.

Grabbing the brush angrily, I started to brush my damp hair dry as Brendon shut the door, leaving Ryan outside probably talking to Jon. Brendon walked over to me not looking as happy as he was this morning. It scared me knowing that he could beat the shit out of me if I make him go off and I was afraid to talk or even think anything knowing that he could read my mind. I silently gulped, not knowing if I should talk or not as an awkward silence formed between us.

"Come on, Melody. I'm going to give you the tour I promised you." Brendon said angrily while roughly grabbing my arm, which hurt me a lot, but I was too afraid to say so.

He pulled me out of the trailer and dragged me around as if I was a rag doll. Brendon has never been this rough with me and I didn't know what I did wrong. It was getting really irritating.

"What's wrong, Brendon?" I asked as he dragged me in front of the tiger's cage that had "Buttercup" in bold green and gold letters above the bars.

"You're in love with Jon." he told me plainly.

"No, I'm not. I fucking hate him. He treats girls as if they're his play things that he could replace when he gets bored with them."I told him. truthfully with a hint of anger in my voice.

"Then why do I smell Jon's scent all over you?" he asked me, not believing a word I say.

"Because he fucking tried to rape me." I told him angrily. I wasn't angry at him for assuming that I was in love with Jon, but because he doesn't believe a word I'm saying. Looking in his eyes, I saw that he was really angry with me, but they soon soften probably seeing that I was telling the truth. He might have also been reading my mind, looking over what happened before he entered the trailer.

"You have to stay with me at all times then and I'll make Ryan or Spencer get your breakfast." he told me while holding my chin up with his fingers. He was acting as if he was a human and it made me happy, but not happy enough to make me forget what he did to Tre and the fact that he killed my little sister and best friends.

I all of a sudden felt a sandpaper hit against my hand. Smiling, I looked at who was licking me and saw that it was the tiger, Buttercup.

"It looks like she likes you." Brendon said with a smile.

I started to pet her head and she purred. Buttercup acted like a huge, pet cat. Letting me spend a couple minutes with Buttercup, we then walked over to see the other animals.While looking at his prized lion, Star, Brendon walked away going to talk to the main clown, Rodger, and I just started to pet him. I turned hearing the sound of girls talking and in a rush. Looking over towards them, I saw that they were part of the working crew since they weren't wearing the skimpy outfits the dancers wore. One had dark brown hair that was up in a pony tail while the other one had dark red hair that was chin length.

"Crap, where did you put it?" the dark red hair girl asked.

"I don't remember. Shit, he's going to whip me if I don't have it for him before the show starts." the dark brown hair girl said ecstatically while they walked towards me. They looked at me and looked scared. I guess they saw that I was Brendon's girl by me not dressing in the skimpy clothes of the dancers or the old, warn out clothes of the crew members.

"Please don't tell, Brendon I lost his whip that he uses for Star." the dark brown hair girl begged.

"Don't worry I won't. I didn't even know Brendon used a different whip when he performs, but I think I know where it is." I told her while grabbing her hand and showing her that the whip was inside Star's cage.

"Oh, thank you so much!" the red hair girl said excitedly while giving me a hug.

"No, problem. I'm willing to help someone when they need it." I told her while her brown head friend walked over to us.

"Thank you so much," the red head girl told me."I'm Sam and that's Megan."

"Nice to meet you. I'm Melody." I said while holding out my hand. Sam shaked it and we both smiled. She didn't seem like Megan, all jumpy and worried about being whipped by Brendon.

"So, you're Brendon's new pet. I was friends with his old one, Kellsie." she told me while looking down.

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Honestly, I don't want to be his pet. I want to leave and go back home." I told her truthfully.

"No girl wants to be a pet to a vampire, but we got stuck in this mess." she said as if she was going to cry.

"Are you a pet?" I asked her in a gentle tone.

She sighed and said,"Yes, I'm Ryan's pet. All of Brendon's right hand men have pets. Megan is actually Spencer's pet.". Megan walked over to us and sighed. Well, at least I know I'm not the only pet in this circus.

"So, who's Jon's pet?" I asked them curiously.

"We don't know. We've never met her. He always keeps her locked up in his trailer." Sam told me.

"Yeah, we've heard that he only lets her out for a little while on the last day of every month, but then puts her back in until the end of the circus in September." Megan told me.

"How long have you guys been apart of this circus?" I asked them wondering why they haven't seen her if she comes out on the last day of every month.

"I've been here since April and she's been here since May." Sam answered while pointing towards Megan.

"Oh, wow. That's a pretty long time." I said in amazement since it was June.

"Well, we'll talk to you later." they said in unison.

"Alright, later." I said while they walked away quickly.

Turning around, I knew why they were walking away so quickly. Brendon was walking towards me while talking to a trainer i guess. I guess I'm not allowed to talk to them unless I'm told to or vise versa because Sam actually looked a little frightened unlike she was earlier. I saw that the sun set was starting to disappear, which meant that the show was going to start soon. They stopped talking as the trainer walked away and Brendon didn't stop walking towards me. I just stood there and pet Star as he walked up to me.

"Ready to go get ready for the show?" Brendon asked me as he snaked his arm around my waist.

"Yeah." I replied while looking up at him.

We walked back tohis our trailer, and I was curious on why we came back here. Brendon obviously knew it being the vampire ring leader that he is.

"You're putting on your new dress." he told me as we walked over to the closet. Opening it, I saw another dress that didn't really change,except it was all red with no hint of black, except for the black heels. This was my worst nightmare of dresses and Brendon laughed knowing it. As you can tell I'm not a girlie girl that loves to wear dresses and skirts. I'm a jeans and t-shirt kind of girl.

"Oh, lovely. Why don't you just make me wear nothing?" I asked him sarcastically while grabbing the red, ruffle, strapless dress that was mid-thigh length and only had 3 strings on the back.

"Well, that wouldn't be family appropriate. Now put it on. The show is going to start in an hour." he told me.

I turned around and rolled my eyes walking into the bathroom, not believing that he wants me to wear this prostitute outfit. I mostly hate it because you couldn't wear a bra with it because it'll show in the back and i knew that's the reason why Brendon was making me wear it.

Sighing, I put it on and walked out barefoot. Honestly, I'd rather walk around barefoot than wearing heels. That's basically what I did when I went to the dances was walk and dance barefoot.

"You look absolutely beautiful in that dress. I might not be able to keep my hands off of you." he told me while holding me by my waist.

"Well, it's better you than Jon or any other of your friends." I told him truthfully while slipping on my heels that were next to him.

"Don't worry, baby. They'll never lay a hand on you," he told me while wrapping his arms around my waist."Now, let's get ready for the show.". We walked out of the trailer as he put my top hat on me and we walked to the performing tent.

We went through the same process as we did yesterday, except Brendon didn't have to tell me what to say. I basically remembered it from him telling me over twenty times the exact words to say.

After Jackie put our make up on, Brendon walked with me to the opening and Ryan was standing there talking to Sam and didn't look happy with her. They looked towards us and Sam was looking down as if she got in trouble talking to me. That was probably the case. I was shocked to see that she was wearing the same dress as I was earlier before Brendon made me wear this skimpy dress.

"So, Sam has told me about you helping her and Megan out, Melody." Ryan told me and Brendon gave me a dirty look.

"Yeah. Well, they needed it, so why not?" I asked while looking up at Brendon who was still giving me this dirty look as if it was a bad thing that I helped them. Why would it be so bad to help someone out? Oh, wait. I forgot. I'm part of a vampire circus full of selfish vampires, that's why.

"Since you've been here for two days and don't know the rules so well, I'll give you a warning. You're not suppose to help out the crew unless I tell you. Got it, hun?" Brendon informed me while holding my chin up with his gloved finger tips.

"Mhmm." I replied.

"Good. Now you're on. Go." Brendon told me while pushing me lightly out into the light.

Walking to the center, I grabbed the microphone and went through the same thing as yesterday, except Brendon didn't encourage the audience to applaud to me. Either it was normal, or he was pist off at me for something. It's probably because he was pist off at me for something and I don't know what it is. Honestly, I would like to know why someone would be mad at me, so I know what I did wrong.

Staying behind the opening watching Brendon amaze the audience with his tricks with Star and Buttercup. They were quite amazing. He started to whip Star and Buttercup to jump through the Ring of Fire at the same time, which was nothing I don't think anyone has ever seen before. I remember when I saw it for the first time how amazing it was.

The crowed awed as Star and Buttercup jumped through the Ring of Fire and I caught myself doing the same thing. That was the last part of the circus I guess because Brendon bowed as he had roses thrown at his feet and I saw that Star and Buttercup were heading into their cages. He caught a bouquet of blood red and white roses before turning around and walking over to me. He had a smile on his face and seriously, if vampires can be bipolar, I think he is because before the show he was mad at me, but now he's all happy. Brendon is a very confusing vampire.

"That was an amazing show." I told him afraid if I said anything lower he'd whip me.

"Thanks, babe," he said while putting his arm around my waist and kissing me."Oh and these, my dear, are for you." Handing me the bouquet of roses, I couldn't help but smile. A guy has never gave me a bouquet of roses before and it made me feel happy inside.

"Thanks." I said in a thankful voice as Ryan walked over to us. I looked up to Brendon who had a disappointing look on his face and then it turned into anger. He stopped holding me and saw that Ryan was standing next to us.

"Take Melody to my trailer and stay with her until I come. I don't want Jon to come in and try to take her away from me." Brendon ordered him.

"Yes, Brendon. Come on, Melody." Ryan said while grabbing my arm.

Oh, great. What did I do this time?

We walked over the the trailer and he basically threw me in there before slamming the door. I walked over to the bed and took off my heels, happily relieved from the pain they were giving me. Ryan gave me an angry look as if I hurt him emotionally. He walked over and put the cuffs on my ankle tightly.

"Ow. It's too tight." I told him while pulling my leg close to my body.

"Good, you deserve it, you little bitch. Brendon tried hard to make this show amazing for you and gave you a bouquet of roses, yet you still show no appreciation towards him." Ryan yelled as he grabbed my throat and before he threw me back down on the bed.

"Yes, I did. I said thanks. What did he expect me to do? Kiss him and all of a sudden fall in love with him? I don't think so. Especially after he fucking killed my friends and my sister. Not to mention tortured Tre. Fuck that!" I yelled angrily, but then covered my mouth with my hand realizing what I had just done. Even though I wasn't afraid of Jon, I was afraid of Ryan since he was so close to Brendon. He could probably kill me if Brendon let him.

Shit.

"That's it. I'll show you what you get when you back talk to me." Ryan told me as he grabbed me and turned me on to my stomach. I tried to get back up, but all of a sudden I felt a powerful sting on my back that knocked me back down. It was the most excruciating pain I have ever felt in my life and I felt like I was going to die right there. I started to cry from it and soon my back went numb and the whipping stopped. Tears still were running down my face and the covers where my head was were soaked with my tears. I tried to get up, but it hurt too much, so I went back down. All of a sudden I felt a tongue slide on my back where I was whipped and felt hands go up my sides to my hands. I saw that they were Brendon's. It was silent and all you could hear was me trying to regain my composure.

I'm guessing he was done because he turned me over and my back didn't hurt anymore. Oh the healing miracle of vampire saliva. He was laying on top of me and I'm sure my make up was smeared from me crying.

"That was Ryan's lesson, now get ready for mine." Brendon told me with his eyes still red with anger and probably lust. He started to pull down my dress and crashed his lips hard with mine. I tried to push him off, but all of his weight was on me and I couldn't really move. He took off his jacket and his shirt and moved my hands so it'd unbutton and unzip his pants. I could feel that he was hard as he took off his pants and my panites. Moving my hands above my head, he entered me and started to be rougher in the kiss as he entered me. Honestly, I would rather have Ryan's lesson than Brendon's. Anything is better than being raped again. Knowing that I couldn't do anything to stop him, I did nothing and let him control me like I was his puppet on a string.
