Read with caution Based off of Warriors by Erin Hunter Elmo's based off of sesame street Nightmare at the Circus: Prolouge It was a warm sunny late spring afternoon and a circus tent was pitched up in a vibrant but, sparse flower, field, surrounded by traveling merchants. The circus tent looked as if it could touch the sky, a red flag waved at the very top. smaller tent, living tent, surrounded the back of the tent. A small she-kit raced through the merchants stalls straight to the tent, a larger but, still a kit, cat raced behind her. "GLAICER! WAIT UP!" The older kit called out, huffing from the effort of constant running. The smaller kit, Glacier, giggled "Try and catch me Snow!" Snow, the older kit, let out a groan "ugh, Glacier! slow down!" Glacier was nowhere in sight though, Snow looked around, worried. She headed in the last direction she saw her sister go, the circus tent. Glacier was running towards the circus tent giggling 'To easy!' She thought, proud she lost her older sister. She snapped out of her thoughts and looked around the tent, it wasn't this dark when she had entered, now it looked pitch-black. "um..hello anyone there?" Glacier mewed nervously into the dark abyss. Then she felt a drowsiness overcome her as she dropped to the floor. Snow headed into the bright circus tent looking through the crowd for her sister. She asked several cats if they have seen her sister to no avail. Snow headed back into the merchant maze, to look for her sister there. A rose-beige she-cat with odd face makings grumbled as she walked through "The Dark" a large system of shadow tunnels and caves. With a bright red kit with orange trailing behind her, talking a mile a minute. She turned to the kit "Elmo cant you go bother Griaf instead of me?" She hissed, the kit unbothered, continued talking. The she-cat sighed continuing walking until she came to a cave. Elmo followed the she-cat inside the cave, and stopped beside her when she stood in entrance hissing at this blue-green dragon-like she-cat standing over a small kit. The dragon she-cat glanced at them her eyes a piercing yellow, "Venus." And the beige she-cat, Venus, hackles raised. "Dragona" Venus replied in a unsettling calm voice. The dragon she-cat, Dragona, smiled toothily. "Whatever could be important to use that tone?" she hissed. Venus motioned towards the kit "You need to stop kidnapping the kits." Venus padded to the kit and crouched down till the kit could see her eyes. Milky white with no pupils, the kit let out a cry of alarm and scrambled away. "Don't worry poor kit you wont suffer long." Her face marking, which was a straight down the middle of her face with thorn like bumps coming out of the line, seemed to open. Two flaps a flesh opened to circles and circles of razor teeth. The kit screamed the sound echoing through the tunnels and then it stopped. Dragona unsheathed her claws and pawed at the ground "Why do you always ruin my fun?" She snarled at Venus, who was currently closing her face again. "I don't ruin your fun, you just keep kidnapping or scaring the wrong people." Venus walked to the entrance of the cave "come let's go watch the show" The three walked through "The Dark" until they came to this light source, "Elmo go bother some other cat" Venus hissed before jumping at the light source and disappearing. Dragona muttered something along the lines of "Go away leaf-brain" before she herself jumped into the light. In the shadows of the circus tent two silhouettes lurked on what seemed to be the fabric of the tent. They had no color aside from their eyes, yellow and white, the slinked along the back of the tent avoiding the sunlight. They came to a stop behind the stands the best view of the circus show itself. White-eyes pointed to the Circus actors, and in the middle the Ringmaster, "Focus on breaking those soul bonds, we need to get her" White-eyes hissed to Yellow-eyes. "Not terrorizing some hapless kit" End of Prologue
