I'm part of this circus and I love it. I'm a sixteen year old acrobat. My foster parents run the circus so I learned the ropes when I was young. I sell tickets before shows and talk to little kids about the fun acts. My name you may ask, Annabell Grace Clore. Prefered and show name, Moxie LeAnn Steal.

I'm the thing that keeps this thing together, without me there would be no circus. Well thats how I think. My life is planned out for me, get read, do my rutine, close, and start all over the next day. I've been around the world plenty of times and right now I'm in Richmond Virgina where we are planning to set up.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The first show was about to start. I was one of the last acts. I sat in my trailer, 'dressing room', getting ready. I was wearing my normal, a creame color dress with tight black stocking. My make up almost done, just a few more shades and I would be done. I glaced at my clock, 8:25. The show had been going on for a while now and I would be called up soon.

"And please welcome, our wonderful acrobat, Annabell!" My father, the ring master yelled into the micro phone. I crossed my legs in my chair and didn't move. I heard the silence drift over the crowd like a blanket. "...Our wonderful acrobat, Moxie LeAnn!" He yelled again this time using the name I would come to.

I dashed out of the small space and into the tent. The crowd cheered as I appered. I took a deep breathe and took the micro phone as my father walked out of sight. "Now what you are going to see me preform is dangerous. Please do not attempt to do this. There will be a short amount of time where you can meet up with me and ask any questions," I said before handing the micro phone to my mom who was setting everything up behind me.

I started my rutine and when I ended the crowd roared. I smiled and walked tot he center of the tent and bowed. Thats when it happened, the lights shut off, then the was a horrific scream.
