Chapter 31 : Gaster is watching…..to Rescue

Meanwhile in another Au

Seojun and Mira are currently walking together on their way to the cable car straight to 'Home Sweet Home'. Still trap in abandoned Factory called Playtime Co. 

"I can't believe we are in Chapter 3 now.....ouch....Poppy really didn't know what shes doing.."

Seojun complained his shoulder pain from the train crash recently. Luckily they survived only to face another toy monsters. 

"I still felt bad for Mommy Long legs....🥺🥺🥺.....if only we didn't have to killed her in the Grinder.."

Mira as fangirl Poppy Playtime, still feeling bad despite trying to killed them on purpose. Seojun sigh knowing how kind heart Mira is.

"sigh......Sorry Mira but we tried reasoning with her, but shes already too far gone....maybe we can try with Doey though....hopefully..."

Mira smile a little felt better having a good korean friend like Seojun.

"Thanks Seo..."

While both isekaid duo walking to the Cable car, they are being watch not just the security camera.....but also from the void.

In the dark Void

W.D. Gaster is currently watching both of them in a Universe known 'Poppy Playtime'. He is intrigued and felt sorry the tragedy for those unfortunate children. Nevertheless as a Doctor once he couldn't help but fascinated this kind of AU.

"I think i will check on Nora."

Gaster to himself knowing the habit being stuck in this dark abyss void does make him loose part of his sanity if he stayed quiet. He raise his bony phalanges with hole in the middle and open his window through Status like some Player in a video games.

He discovered long before Seo and Mira came by. He even watch his Sans and Papyrus as a time being to see how well they were doing. Now he is watching in 'The Freak Circus' AU.

He saw me still being held captive by these 5 Monsters in disguise. And then being control by both Doctor special serum combined with Jester Hypnosis ability. He frown as he sip his mug tasting the fresh bru coffee to ease his theory from this.

He knew me being from an outside world does have a different mechanism causing the three of us having different abilities. But in this situations, he give credit to these type of Circus Monsters to have controlled me.

After watching me perform as 'Shooting Star', he watch how i came back to my senses as Pierrot comfort me through meals and caring. 

"Hmmm..........this is.....rather interesting turn of event. But this can't go on. She needs to get away from them as possible."

He turn off his Status window and then raise his other Phalanges summon two special buttons we all know to well.

TRUE RESET or CONTINUE

The Skeleton Monster stared at this button in his possessions, reminded the reason why all this. But he shook his head avoid to remember those kinds of tragic of his past. Now he need to save a certain person as he make the buttons dissipated.

He took his time thinking. How to save me from their grasp? Regardless the same species but in different AU, different kinds of it. Its complicated. If MC is still around, he could use them as an advantage to replace me from the Circus monster's grasp.

But since the Reset, the timeline seem to overwrite few times whenever new individuals such as isekai people like me and the others came by. Their code didn't seem to match so whenever Reset, the universe might be in a risk of collapsing.

Similar exampled to a certain Games Seojun have once shown him how he downloaded into his PC. Instead of download purchasing with full payment (kinda expensive), he download Crack version bypassing the security firewalls.

Gaster have to come up with a plan to rescue me in a most smartest yet...........crafty ways. He smile in his signiture grin as an idea finally form in his IQ head of his.

Meanwhile in TFC universe

I am currently eating dinner with the rest of these monsters. They eat their own foods knowing might contain human meats. Luckily my meals not only free human meat but also contain halal. Pierrot smile happily as he served me a bit more mash potato knowing after night performing i am practically starving.

"Thank you, Pierrot. 😊"

Pierrot smile at me as he continued eating. Until Harleyquin being a tease disturd him causing him to almost stab the green monster. Before Pierrot get a strike of his dagger, i quickly hold his arm making him turn his murderous face into a love sick monster i knew.

"Um....can i have ice cream for deserts?😄😄"

He smile wider as he nodded.

"Of course, my lady~ 🥰🥰"

He put his dagger away as he get up and went to retrieve my ice cream. I look at Harleyquinn knowing he always make Pierrot fight him like siblings does but he doesn't seem guilty of it.

"Thank you, our shooting Star~ "

He smile in his sharp grin making me smile back as i told him.

"You owe me one day~ 😏"

He look at me surprise as he started thinking about the.......intimate part. 

"And no, not the sexs part~ 😊"

I added making him drop his smile causing Doctor and Ticket taker snort while eating. Before he get to ask again, Pierrot came by with ice cream bowl place in front of me.

"Yay! Ice cream! 🥰😄"

I could careless about my childish cheer, i immediately eat the ice cream knowing in this kidnapping situation. I might need some comforting moments before things gone wrong. Or maybe something is wrong with me?

After the meal, I offered to wash the dishes but Jester insist i don't have to......okay more like ORDERED not to.😐😐 He then told me he need to help something..........in his bedroom tent. 

I look at him so surprise.........wishing i might faint as million of thoughts ran into my head knowing Jester is.....a scary type with a whip just like in those Fanarts image from Tumblr!😱😱😱.

Chapter 30 : Our Shooting Star

In another town, a new Circus arrived as the locals heard and see it wasn't an ordinary childish Circus. But a scary one known as 'The Freak Circus'. They watch as the Tents already form in one location in this part of the city and Flyers has been hands out to anyone hoping for anyone is interested.

Like before some people accepted, others incriminated.......and the other ones felt uncomfortable but it's a normal routine for the Circus Cast. Nothing change that...........until now.

In a Cyan Tent, Jester came in to check on their newest cast who is currently sitting on the Doctor chair. This time no strap to the wrist but the Plague Doctor mask himself is cleaning his medical tools getting ready for tonight.

"Is it ready yet?"

Jester ask Doctor who now turn to look at him through his Cyan lens as he answered.

"Yes, she is ready. I never thought i can come up this method instead of your normal hypnotism, Jester."

"Huhum~....I do find it challenging but she seem to be more interesting human we've ever come across." 

Doctor chuckle as he place his huge glove claw on the young women head petting her.

"I'm glad she came to us. Her cells are unique and so many ways for me to study her."

"Control yourself Doctor. She maybe our Doll but she still part for the show tonight. The guests will love her."

Jester smile in his sharp teeth grin as he came closer to the young women face placing his finger underneath her chin looking straight at her eyes.

"Isn't that right, Nora?~...Our Shooting Star~"

Nora look at Jester with an innocent smile as she isn't herself at all.......rather a precious doll for the Circus family to use.

"Yes Jester 😊. I'll do my best for tonight show!"

Hearing that Jester grin as he praise her.

"Good Girl~"

Later at night, many guests came to the circus as they also heard a special performances in one of the tents shows. The Circus Cast performance are the same but one as they all came to the final new tent..........Cream colored tent.

The Guests came in after seeing the others performances knowing this is the last performances afterwards. All five Monsters came to the backstage peeking the crowds taking their seats chatting curiously for tonight.

Pierrot came to Nora who will be performing her show feeling worried for her. (So sweet~) But Jester place his hand on his shoulder calming the monster down reassuring everything will be fine. Ticket taker told them its time making them nodded as Jester came forward and announce himself.

"Welcome to the Final show of the night. I hope you all excited because this show is to die for~. Give applause for......Shooting Star!"

The purple Monster gestured his sharp claws above as the spotlights turn on pointing at one direction above causing the crowds look upward. There......a young women dress in her unique Circus outfit not showing her skin but a long sleeve Leotard fashion with black leggings. Her outfits theme color is Cream over black. The pattern at her legging side are stars with glittery lines.

A black hoodie small cape along with her mini skirt coated with glittery shines too. Her head covered with her hood while wearing a white small mask covering only her eyes. She smile her pearly white teeth waving the audience below before she start walking a thin line rope with NO safety net.

The crowds watch as she walked with her Ballerina shoes as she keep walking steady. The Monsters watch curiously hoping this performance run smooth for first time. The song played is Black Butler 'Book of Circus'.

Shooting Star summon her Ribbons and use her hand twirling while balancing on the rope dangerously. The audiences watch couldn't look away without bored nor fatigue.......eager to see whats happen next. 

Suddenly the rope snap underneath causing them to gasp and small scream watching the girl fall for her doom but she quickly latch her ribbon straight at the Flying Trapeze and pulled herself up in the air somersault and then use her other hand to latch the small bar as she hang her body in the air beautifully.

The Trapeze move her around this tent in circular motion while Shooting Star performing while smiling. The Circus Monsters are impress as they watch how she captured the audience without bored. The lights projector illuminated the night sky while her outfit glow in the dark as if a Shooting star just pass by.

Comes with a final act, the Bar line Trapeze she's holding on have change direction to the middle tent making her let as she somersault in the air..............and dive down straight to the ground with nothing to catch her fall! 

The Crowds scream while some standing fearing the young women live about to fall her death! the moment her head nearly touch the hard ground...........she vanish in thin air with small light leaving no trace of where she falls. The audiences murmurs while some rubbing their eyes thinking 'are they seeing thinks?'.

Until a small light shine in different directions causing them all turn their gaze from the ground to the above where Shooting Star smile waving at them all. The Music came to an end as she bow at them gratitude hearing the applause from the audience below. She smile as she wave them goodbye and walked away the moment the spotlights turn off ending her show.

Ticket Takers escorted them all from this tent knowing the circus is closing soon. 

"Did you see that? Now that was some awesome Sh%t!"

"I thought that chick is gonna die but Holy Sh%t!"

"i wouldn't mind dating that girl, shes hot~"

Hearing that last part from one of the crowds does make Pierrot very unhappy while clutching his dagger break into half. Harleyquinn smile dangerously thinking one of them should be their dinner tonight.....sadly they already have unfortunate victims at their pink tent.

Meanwhile Nora changed her outfit to her normal clothes. Jester came to her smiling down at her satisfied the performance is a success. Her ability to teleport does came useful for her show. 

"You did wonderful, my dear~...i knew you are special human."

Knowing she still under his control due to the Doctor serum inside her, he decided to let her have free will mind for now as he snap his finger. Causing her to blink as she sigh touching her head free from her trance.

"Astafiullah......what....huh?😵‍💫"

"Welcome back, our Shooting Star~"

I look up to see Jester gleam at me making me remember what happens. 

"You.....what did you do..."

"Nothing of a sort dear. Your performance benefits us and this Circus. Pierrot will filled you in, enjoy your rest.....Dearest~"

Jester walked back to his tent as soon as Pierrot came to me with a worried hug and look at me.

"My lady....are you alright?...do you need to eat something? I can take care of you.."

I look at all this...at him....not remember much....this is completely a whole different route. Sure the Game still developing but....for now i need to rest both my mind and my body as the kind silent monster lead me out from this tent to have a warm meal for me.

Chapter 29 : A new purpose

I groan waking up feeling myself tired......and felt shackle at my ankle. Yup! I'm in a bad route 🫥😐.

My eyes adjust around me thinking i'm in Pierrot red tent. But not this time! I'm in somekind of Caravan with small shelf, table, a cot and a small shower. This is new 😶.....i thought they sleep in their colored tent. 

And i'm still held as their prisoner/prize possessions whatever they want to called me. The shackle can be annoying when i tried to tug a little yet the length couldn't be far.

I sigh getting up to stretch my back till it pop. Despite getting kidnapped again, i felt like i got the most sleep in ages. 

I'm guessing Doctor drug me to make me sleep longer. But the question is....how long have i slept?

Will they finally eat me......or violated me in the end?😨

And why is this caravan moving?

Wait a minute?!😱 no..................That means the circus is moving from town!!

I quickly trying to escape but the sudden tug chain to my ankle make me remembered i'm still their prisoner.

"Oh yeah, i forgot...hehe 😅😅."

Mumble to myself in this situation like this as i tried to find something to pick lock this shackled ankle of mine. 

"I advise you not to try to escape, human~"

I turn to look at Ticket Taker who is sitting at his chair as he put the book down from reading just now. I glared at him knowing my situation now.

"Bill Cipher....😠"

"What?..."

"*Cough* *Cough*...sorry...wrong villain name....not anyone important. You know what i'm just gonna called you TT or Double T...which is fine. 😅"

The Monster stare at me through his mask studying for a while until he sigh talking to me.

"Ticket Taker will be fine, and Jester have good used for you miss Nora."

I look at him knowing he wouldn't let me leave......again. Even though i have no regret on trying it again 😏. Remembering all that makes me smile when i can use my teleportation powers.

"What are you smiling, darling?"

I snap my thoughts directly at him.

"I just remembered the time i manage to get away from you guys. Twice from before and after ~. By the way how is your head? Considered how i disappear right the moment you bump at Jester?"

I smile cheeky seeing Ticket Taker mask shows not much emotion.....but if i know it better he is twitching his eyelid in frustration while calming his anger down. Nailed it~.

"I admit no humans has ever escaping from us before. And Doctor took some of your blood as a sample for his interest. Somethings tell me your not from this world."

The way he said to me ominously kinda scared me now. And the fact he tried to figure me out about the isekai thing really does get his answered quick. I thought if i tell them the truth they wouldn't believe me. 

But now with all my abilities and powers......its confirm they will make me a slave to them for their sick amusement...........or worse the intimacy part i never want to find out 😨😨.

The caravan suddenly stop as we both heard someone coming here. The door open to see Jester came to see us both.

"Huhum~...finally awoke aye pet?~"

I huff at his mocking tone glared him back not in fear.

"The name Nora, Raksasa." 

The purple Jester smirk not bother to get mad yet rather amusing as he told Bill to join him outside. He nodded leaving me alone.....or so i thought, Harleyquinn came in happily with his flirty charms smiling at me.

"Hello bela menina~"

I look at him figured they sent him to watch me instead of Pierrot......speaking of him.

"Hey Harley 😑😑....got anything to eat?"

"They will get a meal for you after a pit stop."

I look at him knowing i can't try to escape with any of these monsters watching me like a hawk. Especially they are known for being predators.

"So where's Pierrot?.....is he okay?"

The green monster snort while smiling menacing with his sharp teeth.

"He'll be here in tres......dois.....um.."

As expected the door burst open to see Pierrot seeing me immediately crawl in the caravan due to his height and wrap his arms around me.

"My lady!...Your okay......i'm so worried....😭"

"Hi Pierrot 😅...."

I pat his back comforting while Harley huff this scene clearly not jealous.......just kidding he always do in every fandom.😏

"Relax idiota, she only slept for a week." 

As if the record broken, my eyes wide in horror after listening to Harley's words.

"A week!?😱😱 What happened?!"

Both monster's look at each other in silence something i've never seen before even before i transmigrated into this world. As if they knew something but didn't want to tell me. 

"Your just starving. Why didn't you feed yourself properly? 🥺 I was so worried you didn't wake up."

I look at both of them wanted to believe Pierrot words but......something tells me there is more truth hidden than i expected. Plus i remember before i pass out that i still have to continue the roll here as the protagonist in this game.....or player what they called. I sigh feeling tired as i really do feel hungry.....

In a nick of time, Jester and TT came back with takeout sandwich mostly for me.

"I'll be taking it from here, gentleman's. Nora and i need to talked for a while."

Jester ordered them to leave knowing he will interrogate me like before. I gulp knowing he always so intimidated. Everyone leave but Pierrot still hugging me like i'm his favourite Plushies.....hehe human plushies 😄.

"Pierrot...."

Jester's tone voice make it stern scolding the silent monster who shook his head while showing him the puppy eye beg look. 🥺🥺

"No Pierrot, she still need to stay here. You will stay with her eventually after we finally arrived the next town."

Pierrot eventually nodded sadly as he give me one last look before he left the caravan. Now Jester and i are alone together which makes me nervous. 

"You should be honored, dear. Not many humans live long to be with us. And from what i know you........are indeed a special human. We never come across with anyone like you and it will be......problematic for our circus as well."

The tone of his voice may carry politeness but i know Jester well as a Fangirl. He find me as a threat. He handed me the food packaging for me to eat. But for once my hunger already died down from the moment Jester came here.

"So......are you guys gonna killed me?......eat me?.....experiment me?....."

I couldn't help but ask knowing this kind of universe thats how it works in the end. Its not possible to have a happy ending but........being homesick can be difficult for me to accepted. Don't get me wrong i do like Pierrot the sweet monster i knew .....but i knew it isn't love only obsession. 

Jester chuckled knowing those are the best option for visitors. But not for someone special like me......and he already find me useful now more than ever.

"None of the above, dear. However....a rare human with abilities.....i have special purpose for you in this circus."

His eyes gleam purple as he get up from the sit and hold me immediately with his monstrous strength and claws underneath his glove. I struggled from it but sadly i couldn't use my super strength against him.

"I tried hypnosis while your in a drowsy state before but it seems i couldn't control your mind. However Doctor did make a special serum and already inject inside you. Your mind will slowly mold into a perfect Doll."

My vision began to fill dizzy as i felt myself falling asleep again. No......not again......It didn't help as Jester pet my head to make me fall deeper. Once i fall asleep.......i'll be one of their Fools.....

"Rest dear~.....i look forward to make you our newest star."

With that....everything went black.

Chapter 28 : Still stuck to the role 😭

"Wait...what?"

"Is just as i said, your soul seem to have a missing piece. Take a look."

He gently lower to my level view while still cradle my soul delicate. My soul glow purple but when you look closer...it does have a bit of the crack....like a broken piece of glass shard got missing.

"How did that happen? I didn't felt any pain on my chest or anything.......but....."

I remember the time i got caught again when i couldn't Reset in my Status window and the fact i puke the black substance out from my mouth when i cough before unconscious. 

Is that the reason why i felt like that?

"Can you fix it?....my soul?"

I ask hoping he would but he shook his bony head making me sad a little.

"I'm so sorry, but i advise for you to use your powers lesser than before. Because using it not only burns the fats and increase Metabolism....but it will also makes you feel weaker. You need Monster food to full that energy for your powers."

The way he explained does make sense as i watch him give my Soul back to my chest making me sigh feeling better now. 

Kiana help clear the bowls and wash them at the sink. Seojun join in explained it to me. 

"In my Status, i too have the power to Reset and Continue. But my soul didn't have broken pieces like yours which is odd. Kiana also the same despite she has other abilities in my Status."

Kiana just finish the dishes came to join in too explaining to me.

"But don't worry about that. Now that your here, you can leave that dimension and travel with us. You don't have to be stranded in there.😊"

I look at them surprise....with a hope to finally go home.

"Really?....i can leave?...."

"...no...not really..."

My smile drop hearing that answered from Seojun. He look at me not want to give that answer but honest is important. 

"But we can travel any closest dimensions like Undertale or sort...So far we manage to reach the Omega Timeline and met Core Frisk."

As i was about ask for more until my whole body Glitch. I cried in shock and a bit pain. Similar how Spider-verse glitch does to me. 

"What happened? 😰.....to me..."

"I'm sorry to say dear but you have to go back to that dimension. But we will try to help you in every way." 

"No.....i can't go back.....i just escape from them, i can't....😭"

I felt myself want to cry as my body glitches again....Kiana took my hand for me to look at her.

"Don't worry...we can meet again no matter what....and we'll.....try to figure out about this...😅"

I look at her...then at the others. The three of them sadly look at me knowing i can't be here long because my code still attach to 'The Freak Circus' dimension.

I watch as my body disappear from this void while the three of them watch me.....

Meanwhile~

Pierrot look everywhere....the Circus ground, the cafe i work, and last my apartment. He felt so empty finally calmed his monstrous rage. He just sit on the floor looking down at himself.

"My love.....i failed again....i failed Columbina....i can't...."

He clench his sharp talon black glove even it bleed. He felt crying through his white mask.

Suddenly he heard something...like the type of television flicker. He look at the TV thinking it might turn on but the black screen shows it didn't turn on.

He looks confused until he heard the Glitches again. He turn his to see a body surrounded with Glitches....until it faded now showing my entire sleeping body laying on the ground.

Pierrot eyes widen immediately crawled towards me as he cradle my sleeping self. He laugh happily while tears still leaking down to my sleeping still hasn't woke up.

"Nora!...My lady....Thank God...haha.....your here...."

He feel my heartbeat still beating knowing i'm still sleeping as he hug my frame to his chest. Carrying me out from this Apartment as he smile still seeing me so vulnerable. Back in his Yandere Grasp walking back to the Circus again.

All four Circus cast already clean up whatever Pierrot rampages. Jester control the Fools to clean the rest of the Circus ground as Harleyquinn yawn stretching his arms up.

 "Ugh....finally....that Maniaco mess is over."

The Green Jester monster sat down on the chair to rest from all the rampage Pierrot did just because of one human female. Ticker Taker went back to his accounting work as usual, Doctor still here tending his fresh wound from Pierrot's lashing.....again.

And Jester.....still ordered his Fools to clean the mess while thinking how to control that Love sick monster. Pierrot maybe a pain but he's family. He won't abandon another plus he's an excellent Cook.

Who else can replace him?

"Speak of the Devil...there he is...wait...is that?!"

Jester turn hearing what Harleyquin saying spot Pierrot came back home carrying me in his arm. Still sleeping as the yellow eye monster still have heart shape cradle me in his arm.

Jester huff came to him as the leader.

"Welcome back, you got her again i see."

Pierrot nodded as they watch my sleeping self look so peaceful as if the world didn't want to wake me up. Harleyquinn came to join in smiling his sharp teeth cooing how my chubby my cheek is while sleeping.

"Aww~....sleeping again? I'm surprise you found her again, Pierrot."

Before the Green Jester use his talon to poke my chubby cheek Pierrot growl animalistic at him. bringing my body close to his chest not want him to touch my sleeping self. Making Harley raise his hand in surrender already tired from teasing Pierrot.

"Pierrot, let me see her just for a moment."

Both monsters look at Jester as he place his hand gently on my head. Studying a bit while Pierrot looking worried.

"Relax Pierrot, i wouldn't hurt her. In fact she proved to be more useful than i ever imagine. But from now on she will not leave this circus ground no matter what. Understood Pierrot~?"

Pierrot nodded happily as he nuzzling my sleeping head walking back to his tent feeling content and relief.

Both monsters look at the Lovesick monster as they both sigh.

"What am i gonna do with him..."

Jester rub his forehead trying to loose a certain headache after such a chaos from this girl.

Chapter 27 : A man who speak with hands

Both of them look at each other from my questions seriously. Then Seojun answered me with no joking matter.

"Y/n is the whole reason we got in this to begin with."

"So we let them get killed by those monsters clown as they ate their livers"

I gasp hearing them felt paled the way they did it with such hatred in their voice.

Until both of them laugh at my face.

"Hahaha 🤣🤣 Just kidding...no we didn't let them die nor killed them at all...haha"

I sigh relief that these people aren't psychopath.......i hope😢. 

Both of them look at me with a knowing poker look as they look at each other first then look back at me. 

"That's the thing......Resets sometimes replace either of us as the Protagonist in this Dating Sim horror game world."

"First is Seojun.....and then me. We used to play around to see how Pierrot feeling is until we both grow tired of it. So we both start hiding from them after many Resets."

I look at both of them feeling kinda sorry the way they both playing many times for Y/N rolls. Come to think of it....

"How many times you two play Resets?....switching roles?..."

Both of them look at each other until Seojun answered making me shock the world.

"Around 50 times i guess..."

"Wait..what?!😨😨😱😱"

Kiana nodded as she answered hers;

"Mine around 39 i guess...we both kinda lost count after many times while stranded in this world 🤷‍♀️"

Hearing that makes me.......really doesn't make me feel better. I mean, 50 times is a LOT! And not going back home.....i look at them felt not so good cause both of them look each other with a knowing look.

"You must be tired and hungry. I should know cause powers increase our Metabolism."

Seojun said as his fist showing a bit of power energy as i stare marvel. He then open a black portal causing me to be scared. Who knows it will lead to where exactly.

"Uh....Where's that take us?😕"

Kiana look at me with a scary look answered me,

"The Backroom..."

"What!? 😱😱"

Kiana laugh again as she wipe her tears seeing my reaction making Seojun look at the Singaporean annoyed.

"C'mon Kin, enough messing with her. Don't listen to her, its definitely not the Backroom. Its actually a Void."

I look at Seojun surprise.

"Wait..the Void? You mean....like Undertale kinda Black empty void?"

"Yup. And i know a certain Someone who can help us feeling more.....less trap in this universe."

Someone? 🤨Seojun walk ahead into the Portal as Kiana finally calm down smiling at me with her energetic personality. 

"C'mon! 😁There is someone you definitely need to meet."

She said excitedly as she tug my hand pulling me into the Black Void. Once i left this world, the black Void disappear where we last step on it.

In the black Void, i look around seeing nothing but empty spaces. It's really nothing but black world yet we can see each other in this empty plane of existence. All three of us walking a little till we saw a few furniture's ahead.

It has a sofa, table, shelf's with books, and a Desktop computers. 

The closer we get.....the closer i can see someone is sitting on the armchair reading a book quietly. I couldn't see the face but i can see a Bony Phalanges with hole in the middle where the palm is.

Could it be?....😶

Seojun and Kiana smile at this figure who is seems taller than either of us human.

"We're back. And we brought Guest. 🙂"

Kiana greet this figure as he put his book down making me look at him surprise who exactly he is!

W.D Gaster turn to look at us three as he smile gently giving a warm greeting manner.

"Hello there, You must be Nora. It's nice to meet you."

Instead of shaking hands he place his right phalanges hands on his chest then bow a little to greet me. I smile trying to keep my fangirl Undertale in as i greet him back with best polite i could.

"Nice to meet you too, Mr Gaster. 😅"

He chuckled told me to just call by his name be fine.

Kiana showed me around despite not many things to see but didn't want to be a rude host kind of manner. Seojun talk to Gaster a little as i glance at them not knowing what they were saying considered he speaks Korean too. 

Wow, i know Gaster is an intelligent Scientist before the accident in the Void but i never knew he can he Multilingual other than his Wind Ding language. 

The place isn't much but it does make it feel homey. Plus they have food! Lots of them!......Okay practically a mountain of Instant Noodles 😱!!

"Woah! These are the only thing you guys eat!?"

All three of them stop to look at me chuckled my shock statement.

"Haha no...😅The healthier stuff is in the fridge."

Seojun point his finger at the actual fridge right next to me! Huh.....i didn't notice 🤨.

I open it curiously to see his right. The fridge does filled with healthy ingredients. 

"So then who did the cooking?"

I ask while closing the fridge door.

"It's either me or Seo. Gaster sometimes cook cause he is only good at making breakfast. 🙂......But don't make him cook the Spaghetti.🫢"

Kiana whispered that last part hoping the Skeleton Monster didn't hear.

"I heard that."

Or so i thought... Us girls giggle at Gaster's remarks. Seojun check the cooking stove as he open the lid and stir something like a stew. It smell so good.....Maybe i can help.

"Hey Seojun, is there anything i can help with? 🙂"

Seo taste the dish with a tiny spoon before answer me.

"It's okay, the stew is done already 😊. And don't worry about the meat cause its mushroom stew."

He serve each of our bowl including Gaster which makes me question how his body work? Isn't he goopy and all like in the Undertale fandom?

The monster notice my question look smiling as if he reads my mind.

"Yes, my form is a bit unstable. But i manage to manifest strongly while staying in this part of the void."

"Wait...part of the void? You mean isn't just one place?😶"

He nodded before he continue eating. I eat it hungrily making me feel my stomach feel full for the first time. It wasn't long until i finish my bowl in 1 minute 😊.

"Alhamdulliah~...😄"

All three of them smile looking so content understood what i have gone through. And then Gaster put his bowl down as he came to me.

"Miss Nora, may i?"

I look at him confuse yet i nodded letting him do what he want to me. He raise his big bone phalange as he focusing my chest. I gasp feeling something came out my chest. 

I watch a floating cartoonist heart came out from my chest. My Soul.....is showing purple...Perseverance. He studied as he cradle my Soul gently and then said something.

"My dear....your soul seem to have a missing piece."

Chapter 26 : Another like me

Somewhere a bit further from the Circus, a figure standing right where the small road with few flyers about the Circus of Horror just vandalizing here and there. 

Suddenly another figure with male voice talking to the first figure as they turn around facing the second.

First : "Can you feel it?"

Second :"......yeah....no doubt another Player came in here too."

First : "Should we go after her?"

Second : "Hmmm...in a minute. Ticker Taker might sense us if we try. Perhaps we can help her by giving her a favor."

The Second Figure raise their hand opening their Status showing not only two buttons of Reset or Continue. But also Loads with many saves files from the previous timelines. They scroll through their fingertips as they search any of the files before this.

Second : "Hmmm....she's not in these.....could it be she came as a background Character?"

First : "If she's not in it,  then yes. She might came as a background. But why shes the main now? The only one capable to RESET is you."

Second : "........i thought i did....until this timeline just Reset it. We need to get to her soon. Tonight is much better when everyone's asleep."

First : "Wait! What about Pierrot? If shes the main character now, i doubt he will let her go or gone crazy as Yandere does."

Second : "Don't worry~ I got just the thing to make them distracted. 😈"

Meanwhile back where i am, it's already pass midnight and i'm not sleepy...yet. Doctor still here with me and Pierrot also here with me. How am i supposed to escape these Yandere monsters?😥😥

"Um.....i appreciate helping me. But don't you have to sleep too?"

I tried asking Doctor who still doing some work never loose sight from what his hands doing.

"This is my tent, i can do what i want Dear."

He just simply answered me without care making me huff. Pierrot already sleeping despite he didn't take off his costume nor his mask. It's weird how people can sleep like this while still hugging my waist. I guess he's scared i will leave.....which is true honestly. 

Out of boredom, i tried Status open but the screen flicker like crazy. I frown and worried not knowing whats happened to me. Since the first Reset things gone wrong...not like before now but.....something different too.

I just wish i could read Fanfic now with my phone😑😑 just to ease my boredom.

Suddenly someone came into the tent and its Ticket Taker.

"Doctor, Jester is calling you now in his tent."

This makes the Doctor pause his work nodding as he left the tent. Ticket Taker came to me bending down to Pierrot gently waking him up.

"Pierrot, Jester also required you as well....wake up."

Pierrot groan feeling a bit annoyed but comply as he nodded gently let go of me (finally). Before he leaves he pat on my head then he left the tent. Leaving Ticket Taker and i.

I felt a bit awkward as Ticket taker told me to get up from the bed and told me to hold his glove hands. This makes me feel more weird and awkward at his behavior.

"Um...why?🤨"

"Because we don't have much time."

I blink surprise hearing a female voice from Ticket Taker's mask. Suddenly both of us surrounded by lights causing us both to disappeared from where we stand.

At Jester's tent, Doctor came in making Jester look at him surprise.

"Doctor?..."

"I came, what is it that you need?"

...............

"I didn't ask you to come here?"

Doctor felt confused saying Ticket Taker told him to come. Jester frown confused as he slowly turn his view from Doctor to Ticket taker..........who is currently working on the accounting papers of this Circus.

"Bill? Did you called Doctor here?"

This makes Ticket who is currently not wear his top hat but raising his head finally stop his work but focusing both Jester and Doctor. He felt confused as he did no such thing.

"No, i didn't....."

Suddenly Pierrot came by along with Harleyquinn joining in.

"Okay Jester, what is it you want us to see you?"

Harleyquinn ask while Pierrot yawn followed him. The 3 monsters look at the two confused all this. When Ticket Taker is the cause he just raise both his hand told everyone he NEVER called them just now cause he's busy with work on his desk.

All of them processing all this until one thing came to their mind in sudden realizations.

Nora!

Almost all of them left Jester's tent in a hurry but Pierrot is the fastest. It wasn't long till he arrived to see in Doctor's tent with empty beds supposed to be where i am.....or was.

Pierrot calling me as he felt scared and panic...practically almost tore every Circus ground just to find one human girl. Ticket Taker and Harleyquinn tried to calm him down despite the effort almost a waist...Jester and Doctor left standing surprise this happen.

"Do you smell the fake as Ticket Taker?"

Jester ask making the Doctor shook.

"I did...he smell similar which makes me fooled.....I'm sorry."

"No worries, old friends. We'll find a way. We always find a way...she can't be that far."

At the further locations in the city, the First Figure standing at the tallest Skyscraper waiting until a light suddenly appeared showing me and Fake Ticket Taker. I blink seeing my surrounding confused and kinda scared....

"Where?....."

The wind blow my hair causing me to look around shock to see i'm in different locations. I cried in shock notice we are standing at a tallest building i've ever been!

"Hua!.....height....."😨😨😨

Both of the strangers especially the fake Ticket Taker shapeshift into a female young women, staring at me with amused expression.

 First : "I can see your scared of heights. My bad~...Should be thanking us for saving your Ass...heh."

I look at them confused and surprise as i walked towards them.

"Um....thank you...and who are you guys?😯"

Both of them look each other as they smile greeting me.

"My name is Seojun. And this one who saved you just now is Kiana."

Kiana smiled happily as she greeted me feeling excited.

"Hi! Sorry but i can't help, are you from South east Asia by any chance?"😃😃

I blink at her straight questions making me nodded answered I'm Malaysian causing her to Glee hugging me immediately.

"Yes!! Ada pun satu!!😄😄😆" (Yes!! Another one!!)

I blink surprise she speak Malay causing me to smile genuine happiness with a sense of homesickness. I can't help but asking in our language.

"Mashaallah...awak melayu juga?"🙂(Are you Malay as well?)

"Hehe~....Tak~...aku singapore lah....😁😁"(Nope~...I'm Singaporean lah~)

I couldn't help but chuckled and relieve i'm not entirely alone in this crazy yandere universe. Seoyun smile as he interrupt our conversation.

"Now i know you have many questions, but i can answered you at our place."

I look at Seoyun as Kiana let go of me walking to join Seoyun. Despite all this is mind blowing.....Alhamdullillah i'm not alone anymore. I couldn't help but nodded as i couldn't help but ask,

"What happened to Y/N?"

Chapter 25 : The reason why i'm hungry~

I teleport back at the apartment. I raise both my hands in the air smiling victoriously.

"Woohoo!! 😆😆 I can use my powers again! That's means i can check my Status like last time. I open my status to see my stats and LV.

Hmmm......not so much🤔. And my LV only reach to 3?! What the! I didn't kill nor hurt anyone!

.....wait.....remembering what i did to Doctor with a chair....and tried to hurt Jester who use one of the Fools to block my attack back then.....

Oh ya.....i did hurt them a little. But at least i didn't killed them 😤.

Anywho~ Now that they know who i am i'll just have to avoid them by hiding from them and go far far away. I was about to try to teleport again until i felt something is wrong.......very wrong.

I felt so dizzy and felt so weak......my stomach felt tight in starvation....what's wrong with me?!

"No....not yet...i just need to eat...😰..."

With whatever strength i have, i couldn't teleport out of this apartment instead i walk out like a normal person.....its hard as i place my hand at the nearest wall for support while walking out from this building.

I manage to walk out from the building as i keep walking at the empty street at night.

The street is quiet as i struggle to walk to any restaurant or convenient store for me to buy a decent meals. I hope it open 24 hours a day.......

Suddenly the light flickered, oh no....i have to get to food quickly! As i tried to walk faster...i felt something.....someone look behind me....i turn around just only for a glimpse making me gasp!!

"NO!!!!😨😨"

I began to run away from them....accidentally stumble a little but i manage to run.

"Oh no you won't~"

I got caught as i feel strong arm wrap around me! Causing to stumble on the floor making me to look at who......

"Pierrot?......"

My face fell seeing Pierrot is the one who caught me like this. I tried struggling against his grip but sadly i am both too weak and no strength left to make him let go of me.

The rest of the 4 came closer causing me to feel panic.......no....i won't go back!....you can't make me!...😣😣

"I admit,  a human like you manage to outwit me....us....but we monster's know what to do with humans that have.....too much free wills~"

Hearing what Jester said to me as i saw Doctor getting ready his syringe with a strange substance in it! No!...No!!....i keep struggling while my head is spinning....no....

I couldn't see Jester look at me surprise as i felt something wet dripping down from my nose. Am i crying?....no...it taste like......blood.

"Nora!"

I turn to look at Pierrot who cried looking at me with worry. I felt myself feeling dizzy.....as i felt myself wanted to say something. I mumble something.....making me spit something.....black?

Huh?.....I felt myself confused....dizzy.....as my blurred vision block the noise of every monsters in this tent around me. As i saw something hanging on the air......My status?....i didn't open it...did i?

But never mind that, I need to RESET it! I know i messed up somehow but i can still escape this! I just have to.....wait....what the?!

The floating shows an alert red signs like a warning....

'WARNING! ERROR!'

I don't understand....what error?...

But the blur vision getting darker.....as i felt myself feeling so overwhelm until i past out right at Pierrot's arm.

The rest of the circus monsters stared at my unconscious figured confused and interesting. Pierrot is the only one cradled me feeling so afraid of loosing me. Doctor tried to calmed him down but he growl at him until Jester bark him an order.

The silence monster calmed down yet didn't let go of me. Harleyquinn stare at me with bleeding nose never seen me like this. Ticket Taker watch closely felt interested yet knowing humans easily panicking.

Doctor check my pulse nodded i'm still alive and breathing.

"Shes alive....but she seems....malnourished. And under a lot of stress."

This doesn't make Pierrot felt better as he still cradled me being precious and guilty. Wishing he should have taken me from the moment that night at my apartment.

Harleyquinn being confused yet also worried seeing me like this. It's not odd witness human's felt helpless and under stress in this situations but.....does it really bad getting cornered like this?

Ticket Taker remembered since the Cafe that time giving me the Pink Ticket. He knew i'm special.....one of a kind that a human wield such abilities. Compared to Monster's themselves who wield abilities too but its.....rare. For an old monsters like himself, he too wouldn't let this opportunities go like this.

Doctor witness this and knew even from last timeline, i'm always malnourished no matter what the circumstances. Luckily he remembered the time he reserved about me when they managed to captured me and place me on his examination table, he knew whats the reason making me feel this weak and hunger.

Jester seeing this.......making him confused but predicted this would happened. For a smart Monster himself he knew how to captured prey easily. And remembered who i am is surprises him many ways he couldn't describe. Like Ticket Taker, i am rare and one of a kind that can never compared to the other fools he still keeping them now.

Pierrot whimpered as he carried my sleeping figure in his arms wanted to comfort me. Instead of being defensive, he turned to look at Doctor forgetting that he growled him before now asking for help.

"Doctor...please....help her."

All the monster's surprise Pierrot reactions let alone offered the biggest monster to carry me next in his arm. Nevertheless as a Doctor, he nodded as he took turn carrying me in his arm and went ahead back to the Circus to healed me.

Pierrot walked ahead fro the others saying he need to make something for me to eat. Now Harleyquinn, Jester and Ticket Taker walking behind till they arrived back at the Circus, Jester command all the fools to continue working in this circus. It's closing time anyway.

"That was something...is she human or what?"

Harleyquinn ask making both monster's look at him. Ticket Taker answered him,

"She is human. But with abilities. I heard about human with magic or powers and i don't believe such fairy tale. Until now....i find it hard for the young lady lived like this especially like before."

Jester place his finger underneath his chin saying,

"Is as if time repeat itself in her favor. Only the moment we start working 2 days ago. I don't know how but i know it has something to do with her. Keep an eye on her for now."

Hearing this Ticket Taker nodded while Harleyquinn grin as if he has a new playmate for him to play.......other than Pierrot.

I groan waking up......feeling dizzy as my vision blurred at first until i saw it clearly. I'm back at Doctor's tent! 😱😱

But this time i'm lying at a bed with something attach at my arm. I look at my left side to see my long sleeve shirt has been roll up for my left arm get attach to an iV ! 

Wait.....why am i getting this treatment? Did something happened to me? 

"Nora! You awake!"

I turn to see Pierrot who has been sitting next to me on my right the whole time? Wow...i must be very tired or dizzy something. But he wasn't alone as i look behind him is Doctor writing something after seeing me like this.

"Um.....what's going on?.....why am i like this?.....😧"

I ask trying to understand what the hell they do to me this time?! Doctor just explained to me something in his professional ways as he came to me checking the iV bag next to me.

"It seems your malnourished, dear. You didn't eat as much or drink more water in your daily life i think."

The way he explained is too simple. It makes me want to know more as i tried to get up but i still felt dizzy making Pierrot gently push me down but adjust the pillow behind me for me to sit back in a relaxing position. 

"Thank you Pierrot....and Doctor...i'm sorry for punching you back then....it was an accident but....self defense~"😬

I cheeky smile at him that last part making him sounded grunt as he knew i may or not sorry at him. To be fair~.....is there any TFC Fans able to PUNCH Doctor?😏

Suddenly something smell delicious as i turn from Doctor to Pierrot who held a bowl of fresh Macaroni with cheese!🤩🤩

"Woah...wait...is there...uh...pork?😟"

The silent clown monster shook his head as he smile took a spoonful as the cheese makes string.....the sight almost makes me drool in hunger.

"No, my dear. It's has no meat in it. Macaroni with cheese."

He offered a spoonful of macaroni as he help feeding me. I felt embarrassed trying to reassure him i can feed myself but he insist he do it. I sigh give up as i let him nurse me open my mouth take a bite tasting it. My face lit up the deliciousness as i smile happy i get to eat this nice and warm.

He smile happily as he gently keep feeding me. Meanwhile Doctor left the both of us alone just to talk to the other 3 monster's who is cleaning up for the night. The circus close already and the Fools help sorting the rest in Jester's threads.

"She awake, and Pierrot with her feeding her with his cooking.....she didn't know whats in it."

The 3 of them stop what they were doing focusing on the tall monster.

"Good. Let's keep her that way. All the years we never encounter a human like that. We can't afford to loose her this time."

Jester smile devious planning whatever stored for me........

Meanwhile back in the tent with Pierrot i felt shiver in my spine. 

"My Lady?.."

"It's nothing.....i just felt a goosebumps just now..."

I don't know what is but Ya Allah....i pray nothing worse happened to me as i keep eating.

Back at the monsters Ticket Taker said,

"During the time she came into my tent."

Harleyquinn perk up smiling.

"Oh ho~...she went there? It's been a long time. Was she scared?~"

Ticket taker continues causing them all surprise as he explained.

"She did....until the last mirror she came to see...she begin crying making her leave without fear. I never had any visitors came to my tent with tears before. And i'm pretty sure that last mirror has no illusion i had in stored for anyone."

"Perhaps your illusion really did scare her. After all this is the Circus of Horror."

"Hmm.....your right. It's been a long time since i had visitor's in my hall of mirrors."

Doctor then fake cough to gain their attentions.

"Topic aside, i did some research about her conditions......i find it more unusual in her cells."

He gave Jester to see the report as he read something in there. Ticket Taker join in reading it too. Now both of them surprise why i was too hungry or malnourished in my system through the entire chapters......(fourth wall)....

"At this rate, we can't leave her on sight. Especially her eating habit. She will have to stay with us in the Circus."

Jester said making Harleyquinn smile.

"Forever?~"

"No....not yet. First we have to gain her trust....gave her false illusions of safety and support. She did see everything now."

Jester gave the report back to Doctor thinking the same like Harleyquinn.

"Indeed, I like this one. She is one of a kind. I could learn so much more about her systems."

Both Doctor and Harleyquinn walked together just to see me knowing they eager to learn more about me. Both Ticket and Jester sigh together having them like this can be a hassle like children wanting something new.

Meanwhile back where i am, Pierrot already put the empty bowl away after feeding me such a good filled stomach. I burp feeling embarrassed but to him he find it adorable. His lovey dovey got cut when the tent drape open with Harleyquinn voice calling.

"Hey~....how's our favorite patients going?~"

I look at him surprise but smile a bit weary knowing 3.....2.....1.....a few dagger flying straight at the Green monster causing him to dodge in time. 

"Hehe~...You missed."

This make Pierrot get up his seat ready to attack him but i used my right arm holding him to stop this nonsense.

"Pierrot..its okay...just...don't hurt Harleyquinn again...please."😳😳

He look at me with the same puppy eye feeling guilty as he nodded putting his weapon's away. This makes the few monster surprise the silent listen so easily other than Jester or Ticket Taker. Which makes the Green Monster have me for his advantage walking to my side smiling mischievous.

"Why thank you, my lady~.... I'll be sure to take care of you better than this sad Monster."

Hearing him say like that makes Pierrot glove hand clench his fist in anger but he knew he didn't want me to react as he just sit next to me........then lay his head on my head making me surprise. I chuckled knowing him as i use my right hand to pet him causing him to purr happily.

Harleyquinn on the other hand just look at him disgust on his behavior.

"Eww~..."

"Oh hush...you wanted too right?"🧐

I said to him making him snort looking away.....not want to admit i'm right. I turn my attention to Doctor asking him about my prognosis. He answered in a simple ways for me to understand.

"The reason your malnourished is because of your abilities."

 .................

"What?....i'm sorry...my abilities?"🤨

"Yes, Your abilities making your body feeling more exhausted and hunger the more you use.....whatever you can do. A side affect causing your condition use your energy twice than running in the field."

I look at him eye bulge in surprise.....remembering since i isekai in this game world. I did use my abilities since.....that's why i'm so hungry! Remind me of One Piece or any crazy Anime's whos character's need to eat a lot of food for the sake of using their powers!

"Oh.....wow....that is a lot to take in. So.....after this...are you going to let me go after this?....I still have a job in the Cafe...can't became missing that makes everyone suspicious. Besides Carol is one of your Fools!"

The word that makes me leave causing Pierrot whimper holding me tight not want to let me go. Harleyquinn snort calling him pathetic crossing his arm over his chest.

"We are still thinking about it. Jester and Ticket Taker will have to decide your fate. And i still need to check up on you."

The way Doctor explain making me feel uneasy....especially the part about my fate. In worse case scenario i might have to Reset again~.....but lets see how it goes.

For now i just have to play it cool laying on this bed...letting Pierrot takes care of me or any of these monster's. Regardless they might became Yanderes in this universe, no jail can hold me.

Chapter 24 : Slipped away again~😜

My body froze the moment my eyes look at Jester's whole being standing confident yet menace. I could see his Fool's around 10 of them are circling the entire tent expecting for me to run away from this moment.

I frown as i look back at this purple Monster now know's who i am. I sigh tired of pretending we never met before now as i said to him serious tone.

"So?....How much you known?"

Jester smile beneath his white mask showing his sharp teeth.

"All of them. Especially the deal we made for you to work with us."

I bit my lips not wanted him to admit but it's just like what happen from last timeline. As if he's Sans the Skeleton caught the Player red handed with remembrance from the safe files or something.

"Is it cause i touch you back then?.....The night at the Cafe?"

I ask him making him smile wider as i heard the tent drape open and close in 4 directions in this tent. I didn't dare to look away from Jester as i can guess it's not the fools added number......it was those 4 monster's i know so well. I could hear one of their bells jingle as they tried to come closer.

"Perhaps~.....you were so kind to give me a free coffee though."

That comment makes my vein popping in anger as i retorted him back pointing my finger at him.

"For the record it's Machiatto. And second you didn't take it back with you! So much for my generosity anyway!"😤😠😠

My comment makes Jester a but surprised seeing this side of me until a chuckle breaks the silence. I don't need to see who knowing it's Harleyquinn himself. He makes me tick even more knowing he still didn't pay HIS ice coffee!😤

"Ahem..let's skip the topic. You work for us. Whether your a Dolls~....or Pet~. Your ours...."

I frown as i tried to concentrate myself teleporting. I felt myself tingly....yes.....I can feel it! .....I'm going to escape!

Growl~.......

The sound echoed filled in this tent is the sound of a very hungry girl......me. I blush in embarrassment as i can't help angry at myself with this silly hormones of mine!

"......S#$t....Why.....😣😣"

My fist clench as Ticket Taker snort in manner, Doctor chuckled, and Harleyquinn.....laughing as he clutches his stomach almost drowning on the floor. (Just like Brook who laugh in One piece)

Harleyquinn's laughter makes me more irritated as i can't help but look away from Jester but shouted at the Green Jester like Sanji does.

"Don't you dare laugh at me, you big Toyol!" (Toyol means green gremlin in Malay folklore)

Despite no one knows what that last part means yet Harleyquinn didn't care as he get up wiping his tear slowing his laughter away.

"Hahaha.....or what? You strangled me?...like that time~"

My annoyance stop as i look at him surprise.....he knew! ....I look at the other monster's seeing their reactions. They knew the last timeline.....Pierrot as well looking at me like a worried puppy....wait..what about doctor? He wore the gloves from touching my skin....right?

I look at him who stand staring at me seeing my confused look. As if he reads my mind he answered me,

"I remembered too. From the moment you punch me, Little one.😠"

My jaw drop knowing that makes him remembered. No!.......😫😫😫

Seeing no way out of this....i felt myself looking around frantically.....as i felt panicking in my mind. No......please......there has to be a way....please....please!

Seeing my reactions Jester smile dangerously as his eyes glow making the fools came to me closer.....suffocating me.....blocking me......What to do?......What to do!😨😨

Suddenly i remember! The chair!! Yes~....😈😈

I grab the chair with my name on it and then toss at not at Doctor this time~...........

But at Jester making him eyes wide  surprise seeing a chair flung straight at him. But he quickly use one of the Fools to block the attack as a human shield. 

With better opportunity, i ran straight at Jester's direction ignoring any of them calling or trying to grab me. I jump stepping on that Fools making me somersault over the Purple Monster as he watch above in slow motions.

Thank you mama for making me join Gymnasts since Kindergarten~. Once i landed on the ground safely, i mock them showing them the Dab before manage to run away from this Purple tent.

"GET HER!!!"

I could hear Jester roar making them chase after me. I couldn't help but chuckle as i keep parkour through this Circus ground. I can feel Ticket Taker is getting closer considered he's the fastest in the group.

"I lose you once, i won't loose again.."

I look back caught just a second glimpse of Ticket Taker somewhat determined face while chasing after me. Yup 😗....he still didn't let go of that Past.

Then an idea hit me as i ran to different direction letting them chase after me. This Circus is not a maze honestly, in fact i just ran a big circle around the two colored tents. I huff and puff almost tired but i smile devious as it makes me keep running motivated.....

Straight back at Jester's tent!

The 4 monsters confused why the hell i run back at Jester? But whatever it is they just learn not to underestimated me as they are getting close to grab me. Bill is getting close to grab my as he jump straight behind me raise his arm.

"Bye~.."😜

I said as i manage to teleport right this instant causing him to miss grabbing me..............and landed straight at Jester who also think he can grab me. And now both monster's get smack head on unexpectedly. 

Doctot, Harleyquinn, and Pierrot halt as they both surprise seeing this turn of event. For the first time while dealing Human trafficking......this never happened before. Nevertheless a human manage to outsmart even to Jester!

Both Bill and Jester growl feeling the pain crashing each other like that. Both Doctor and Harleyquinn quickly help both of them up while Pierrot came to them still processing this.

"....What do we do now....Jester?"

Doctor couldn't help but ask as they both brushing the dirt off themselves. Frowning seeing this situations are now serious. For all these years, never were once they encounter a special human who have abilities far beyond their predicament.

"That human is a menace now. As much as we need to find her, we still have to run this Circus as smoothly as possible. Once the Circus  is closed for the night, we'll continue to find her again. We caught her last time, we can do it again."

The four of them nodded after Jester orders. No questions ask nor hesitate because he's the only one who can keep this Circus together from expose and collapsing. 

So then all of them continued their jobs before closing. Pierrot on the other hand felt worried really want to see me again by going to my apartment. Before he would check up on me, a hand grab his shoulder seeing Ticket Taker looking at him serious now.

"Pierrot....a word, please."

Anomaly_The Freak Circus

Chapter 23 : It was an Accident!

I paled and panic mode as i struggling knowing the fact how crazy this monster is! I bit my lips from whimpering as i tried pulling back this stupid leather strap while Doctor hummed his tune getting ready to give me that shot!

"Struggling is useless, Dearie. Just relax and i will treat you gently~."

This makes me froze as i slowly look at him with such a weirded look and almost kinda disturbing look at my face. This makes the Doctor stop as he felt curious why am i looking at him like that.

"Why you looking at me like that? Is something wrong?"

............

"Are you flirting at me just now?" 😧😧

This make him felt shock at what he just heard. Its unheard off!

"What?!....No, don't misunderstand things, young lady. As a Doctor i'm a decent man."

He said with a tut voice as if i deserve to get scold for having such a dirty thought. 🙄 Its not my fault every single monster's in this Circus having such a seductive voice~. 

The topic change when he finally pulled out the Syringe......but instead of just pink liquid inside of it......its purple?

"Uh......what is that?!😨😰"

"Just something to ease your nerve.......especially your adrenaline. Now hold still~"

I felt paled and terrified as he was about to inject me.....ready to end my life! No!....it can't end like this! I still haven't been to Jester's performance!

As if time stop....i felt the strap getting loosen......Until finally the moment this leather strap cut loose on my right wrist it makes me break free of my right hand formed a fist with all my Strength. 

And landed underneath the Doctor's Plague mask right where his jaw is!

I look at him shock witness what i did! What the HELL did i do!?😱😱😱 I punch the Doctor! Giving him an Upper-gun!! 

He manage to back off as he grunt feeling the pain.....also his mask crook a little showing his sharp teeth as he place his left hand where i landed a punch at his jaw. 

Ya Allah....did i hurt him that badly?!.....Wait....did my strength come back?! I don't know whether to be happy or worried while seeing the Doctor with worry expression on my face.

GROWL.....

Okay......maybe i should worried about myself now!😨😨

Before he could turn around to grab me like a scary big (angry)monster haunting every kids in their nightmare, I felt my whole body surrounded with lights as i felt myself disappeared from this tortured chair leaving the Doctor alone processing all this.

Suddenly the tent entrance flap open to see Ticket Taker, Harleyquin, and Pierrot rush in after hearing the Doctor growl just now. Knowing them, Doctor never make those sounds unless they are threaten or gets angry. 

"Are you alright?"

Ticket Taker ask seeing this chair is empty knowing the fact I should be here a minute ago. Doctor manage to compose himself as he adjust his Plague mask back.

"I'm fine.....although the girl with Pink Ticket got away. Hmmm....."

This makes them all surprise.

"Pink ticket?.....You mean the girl with that hoodie? Didn't she came with another ticket?"

Harleyquin ask making Ticket taker answered confirming.

"I specific am sure she has the Purple Ticket when she come in. I know it since i'm the only one who punch it."

The three monsters confuse at the oldest monsters among the group. Especially Pierrot who is confused....scared....and also kind want to hurt the Doctor for hurting his precious human. This makes the Doctor kinda scared a little the way Pierrot stared at him reminded not to mess with him.

"I'm very sure. Here..."

Doctor pull out the Pink Ticket showing to them. What makes them surprise not only the color.....but also didn't punch at ALL. This makes Ticket Taker felt his tiny fury as he shows his other eye light hidden deep at his mask.

"That little liar........how dare she...."

The monster knows Ticket Taker can be piss knowing some humans didn't follow his rules. To change the subject,  Doctor ask him.

"Where's Jester now?"

Ticket Taker snap his fury and answered his question calmly.

"He is starting his performance now. We will tell him after finding that sneaky human. Hopefully she didn't go that far."

Meanwhile where i am i manage to teleport unexpectedly feeling relief and calmed. Wow......my strength and teleport?!....I couldn't help but smile happily that my abilities is back! Yes!!...Alhamdulillah!! 😆😆😆

Now where was i? I look around to see i'm right next with many people, thankfully no one notice about me teleporting as they all facing the stage waiting the show. I couldn't help but curious as i walk towards it seeing the empty seat exactly where you can see the stage so close.

What disturbing me is the chair has one name makes me paled.

NORA

I walked towards it and took a seat hoping once the show is over i'll try teleporting again. I make Dua hopefully the almighty God have mercy on me as the light turns off then turn backs on showing Jester himself greeting the audience.

"Welcome, dear monsters~. Are you thirsty for blood?~ Cause your in a right place!"

Jester himself bowed to the audience as he stomp his boots causing the bells attach each of it jingle to gain everyone's attention. The Fools came to the stage showing five of them have their mask each different based on Harleyquinn's puppet's story.

That's weird....this story is already been told. Why is he telling it at his tent?

My questions answered as another fools came up the stage. This one is a female as Jester pointed her as 'The Angel'. My eyes widen realize where this going as he proceed the story telling. 

The way he tells is a bit difference than Harleyquinn. Especially the Vision Columbina showed me from the mirror. As he keep telling the story, i couldn't look away as one of the fools behind the Angel back like a romantic gesture at first......until the metal claws fingers attach to it plunge at the poor fools chest!

My eyes widen as i could hear the flesh tear while Jester keep narrating the stories. I covered my mouth with my hand as i just witness the girl's death like this! It's more savaged than Pierrot's one! 

The girl fool lay on her back as her blood display wings like a snow angel. Then the story told that the true love is Poison.

After the show is over, i felt sick in my stomach not only the performance.....but most of the people from the audience kept saying how amazing it shows.....blood and gore!

I felt myself dizzy.....felt myself want to past out. But fear reminded me i'm not safe! I have to leave! Far away! Even if i ran the end of this universe! I have to leave as i immediately get up from the chair ready to run away from this terrifying universe!

Suddenly the tent entrance drape close making this whole tent in darkness....except the stage light still illuminated. I heard the bells jingle while heavy boots followed.....right where i stand.

"Hello, dear guest. Do you like my show, Nora~"

Chapter 22 : Doctor, what's my Prognosis?

I stand in front of Doc's Tent, looking at it remind me of the chair.....i so badly want to hit him with the chair. In case he hurt me even one scratch!........I will hit him with a chair.

Before i went in, i saw someone came out from the tent while rubbing his arm as they walk away feeling disturb and paled. Seeing this motivated me.......hit him with the chair.😈

A young man dress in pink costumes came to me handed me a contract of a sort. I look at it shock that this is something else now!

What do you mean 'Obey the Doctor and you'll be fine'? This is Blasphemy! I tried to ask him about this.

"Um....is this necessary?"

He just stand silence as he answered to me with emotionless monotone voice,

"Your good, enjoy Doctor's performance."

I look at him weird 😑😑 but accepted as i sign the contract and walk into his tent. The moment i walked in is dark. Then a spotlight shone to see Doctor who stand next to the very same experimental chair with straps at the armrest.

"Welcome, please come forward."

CRACK!

i jump 😨😨 seeing many eyes staring at me. I watch carefully to see many mannequins big and small whether hanging or laying on the ground staring at me with their Cyan eyelights.

"Don't mind them, they don't bite.....not yet~"

I bit my lips as i walked nervously towards him....and the chair. I took a seat as he start strapping my wrist with his glove claws. He still big as i remembered.....

"Uh...is this necessary?"

"It is. So you don't run away, sweetie~"

I gulp as he strap me not too tight yet enough for me hard to escape. And then he start asking me about how i feeling or any illness like those doctor's who treat their patients. I just answered everything i know, especially the part where i'm allergic a certain medical drug called 'Ponstan' which makes him feel more intrigued as he wrote something in his writing board. 

And then i felt him touching my neck making me.......kinda nervous knowing how sharp his fingernails is. I grip the wooden handle trying my best not to REACT. 

Luckily i didn't as i manage to hold still but it makes him gently place his other hand fingers touch underneath my chin forcing me to look at his circular blue goggle. His Plague doctor mask beak lowered down so his eyes directly at me. 

This.......is creepy. After a good long stare............he finally let me go as he told me he need to do one last thing.

He pulled out a Syringe with pink liquid inside of it making me panic as i stare wide eyes at it! I didn't react.......not yet. But it makes me pulled my hands up wishing i get my strength back! 

Please.....let me hit him with the chair.....let me hit him with this freaking chair!!😫😫😫

He ask its best to take my shot and also assured no Phonston in it. I shook my head no still raising my hands up hoping to break this stupid straps!

And then he stop as he pulled back the syringe making him chuckled beneath his bird mask.

"Just kidding, it's part of the act dearie~"

He put it back on his table with the rest of his scalpel then he turn to look at me.

"You've been such a good girl......despite your fear is exhilarating~. I have sweets for you as a reward."

I sigh relief this is over. Making me think why did i come to his tent in the first place.

"Great.......so.....can you let go of me now?"

....................................

He didn't say anything making me feel nervous.

"Uh....Doc?.."

"I'm still thinking about it."

 What the F#%k! Really?! Why can't he be like that plaster doctor who treated Anais from Gumball references? It's stupid but more safer than this type of Prognosis!

He then ask what color is my ticket is but despite i tried to tell him the color, he eventually went to my pocket searching for it. I sigh knowing if he sees the Purple ticket i will be safe. I felt him glove finger claw pull out one and said to me,

"Oh! A pink one~ But this doesn't punch yet? I guess i won't let you go, Sweetie~"

I look at him surprise at my stupidity, should of just bring one ticket! 

I paled as i saw through his Cyan goggle lens, a red hue knowing the fact he is very exciting right now. Oh no........😱😱

Chapter 21 : A break with KitKat~

Happy Holidays everyone!!😄😄

And here's another surprise chapter update to all!!

I turn to look at this one last mirror standing alone. A figure of a huge female monster with tiny horns staring with pink eyes at me.

"Come closer...."

I did as i came closer till a hand grab my wrist pulling me into the mirror. A scene shows exactly how it happen. A bit different than what Harleyquinn puppet show tell. The ringmaster is actually two, negotiating monsters for food.....eyeing on Columbina because shes prettier than the rest.

But Pierrot is in the way protecting her.......and so as the others. I gasp seeing this horrible visions as they all imprison in their own cages. And Columbina only in shackles and chains. Begging to help hearing about being touch and get transferred. Then Harleyquinn broke out from his cage and then killed Columbina biting her off.

I could see tears at their eyes as they all broke free......only to eat her cause shes the weakest of them all. What broke my heart is despite all that happen.....she still say thank you to them.

My eyes are blurry feeling burn as i blink trying to clear my vision's. It wasn't dryness......it was tears....leaking down my face as i stare at Columbina's reflection.

"Why?.......why stay?.....After everything....And yet...."

I couldn't help but ask as i wipe my tears trying to stop myself from crying more. Ya Allah.....why am i still soft? I could see her smiling sweetly as she said to me,

"I tried to tell everyone, but they block their own barrier of self doubting and delusions. But you....only you have a strong sight and able to confront them alive. Regardless your not from here in this world. Thank you."

And then a word written in blood said 'Abrigado...' as she disappear with a smile shape eye light. I wipe my tears.....didn't care if Ticket Taker gets me as i slowly walked away from this Mirror maze till i'm finally outside.

I walk away till a hand grab my shoulder making me shock.....annoyed.....and turn my head around wanted to shout at this rude person until my eyes sees its Ticket Taker himself.

"...Are you alright, visitor?"

The way he ask makes me surprise, he sound gentle but i know deep down he just fake cares as step back away from his white glove hands. I took my pocket tissues and wipe my tears then blow my nose knowing i can be messy when i cried.

"I'm fine. Its just......your tent shows scary stuff. Good job man."

I smile a little giving thumbs up as i walked away from him.....trying to get myself a fresh air.I couldn't care if people saw me saying stupid comment about me being a crybaby or whatever bu##s%it they say. I need to breath as i sit on the bench looking at my smartphone.

I sigh ignoring the world around me like every typical Gen Z with their smartphones. I scroll whatever i can until someone seating next to me. To my surprise he ask if i'm okay which makes me turn to look at the same monster who bump me just a minute before!

"Oh! Its you!....um yeah i'm good....just went to one scary tent..haha....i'm so pathetic."

The monster in disguise look at me through his face mask disguise and hoodie......even wearing a sunglasses to cover his black eyes like every monsters. Behind it he can see how i'm like this in my weakest moment. He then pull out something from his pocket......a similar kitkat bar that i gave him before offering me back.

"I know you gave me this as an apologies..... but i think you need it more than i do."

He said to me gently making me smile at his kindness. So i took it and said,

"Thank you....so sorry seeing me like this..heh"😅

"It's no problem. My brothers like the other chocolate you gave to me before. It does cheer them up whenever....people comment about us.."

Hearing that last part i couldn't help but agree knowing this universe, it does create to be some sort of racist against monster kinds despite in disguise. But people can be stupid knowing some cannot control their mouth as i took a bite of my chocolate.

"I know how it feels....i got hurt by their stupid comment before and just now. But there is one lesson i learn when it comes to control in those situations."

"Whats that?"

The monster ask curious as i smile answered to him,

"The Prophet sallahualaiwasalam said, 'The strongest person isn't the strength itself, but the one controlling their anger within.' The time I saw most of people's including you waiting at the Black tent line before, many people said bad things about you guys. But I admired how all of you managed to keep going with patience."

This makes the monster surprise hearing this as he smile beneath his face mask.

"That.....is a good lesson! Thank you hu- i mean!...thank you ma,am."

I chuckled figured what he is making him almost slip up calling me human. 

"No...thank you, kind stranger."

I smile feeling grateful as i decided to visit two more tent. Instead of running away.....i decided not to fight back but not letting fear and hurt took over me. I get up from the bench and wave goodbye at this kind monsters who wave back at me.

After i left to go to the Cyan tent, the monster is about to go back to his brothers nearby the Black Tent until someone approach him.....he turn around surprise to see none other than Jester himself along with Ticket Taker smiling at him.

" Hello fellow guest, care to have a moment with us?~"

Chapter 20 : Noooo!

As soon as I went in Pierrot tent, the show just started as I took my special seat in time. Just like before his performance is the same routine dancing with his shadow.

And also throwing daggers to kill a certain Karen. How funny I used to feel sorry for her.....but in the new timeline I get over it.

After the show is over everyone leave the tent until I was the last one. Suddenly Pierrot came to me with a smile on his face.

"Hi, Pierrot. Do you like the milkshake I make for you?😊"

He nodded happily while blushing. I snort imagine a floating hearts 💕🥰 flutter around him as a lovesick fool.

But he is an adorable character.....not to mention the safest among the 4 of them.

He then lean to whisper my ear.

"Did you like my show?"

"Yeah I do. But....kinda scary the part where you killed her. It's not really a person....right?😅"

He then make a silent gesture that indicates a secret trick. I smiled nodded knowing I'm not buying it but I just let it go easily.

"Welp! I gotta go see the other performance, see ya!😊"

I wave at him as I went to three more tent. Which one~...which one~

I stand here thinking 🤔... choosing....until suddenly I got bump by someone I didn't know. He is wearing a hoodie and face mask as he apologize to me.

"Sorry!....I'm so sorry....."

I realized he's as tall as Pierrot. And his face covered as much but only his eyes showed. I smiled not offended as I felt him a bit timid like a shy person.

"It's okay, accident happened. Here, have a chocolate for your day 😄"

I offered him a chocolate bar to him as he look at me surprised at my gesture. He did tried not to take my offer but I insist so he took it and he thank me.

I smiled waving 👋 at him as I left to see that Blue tent next. Unaware the person I bump into went back to their group waiting at the Black tent felt surprised at my kind gesture.

And also few certain eye's staring at me.

Meanwhile where I am, I went to the Blue tent as the sign says ' Mirror Maze. Do not trust with your eyes'.

I went in as I look around to see many people in it. Wow 😲, looks like it not boring in here.

Suddenly the whole place blackout and when the lights back on, I am left standing alone! 😳

"Where's everybody...."

I look around trying to find at least one person here with me but when I look at the mirror in front of me..... Ticket Taker is standing staring at me.

"How surprising, not many people would go to my tent. Only you. Let's see how well you play my game~"

Suddenly two figured of reflection walking pass by me between left and right. I could spot both his monster form and his human form who gave the pink ticket in the cafe.

I knew it! He is the Pink ticket guy! Maybe I can make him nervous like before....hehe 😏~.

"Don't worry, dear. All you have to do is walk ahead without stopping. Then you might find a way out."

One of the mirror just open indicate for me to follow.

"Okay then~ If I did find my way out, do I win the prize?😄"

.........

He didn't say anything except a growling noise came from not too far behind! I turn around to look but no one is there which kinda makes me loose my cool.

"Sadly there is no prize, purple guest visitor. But if you don't leave soon you won't be escaping from my tent."

This makes my eyes wide open.

"Wait...you serious?!..."

I jump hearing another growl and its getting closer making Ticket Taker smug answering me.

"Yes~"

Without hesitate i ran when one of the mirror hall open for me 'tried' escaping this horrifying maze. Okay! Now I'm terrifying! I take it back for teasing him since last timeline!

I ran until i came across this one small hall of mirrors. But it lesser than before....i could see one of them is crack broken in the middle, as if someone punch or something. Walking through them all....but curiosity get to me as i look the first one on my right to see Harleyquinn shadow hugging me from behind. 

The gruesome part is his glove hands and mouth coated in blood then shows how he will bite my neck killing me. If i didn't pay attention, I could see a single green eye staring behind this mirror but couldn't see his figure.

Moving on i went to look at the first one on my left. I see a reflection of Pierrot hugging me from behind. Showing how desperate he didn't want me to leave him. Then showing his body coated more blood than Harleyquinn.......until a dagger shot straight to this mirror making me shriek as i jump!

Woah!....wait....i recognize this dagger...Pierrot? I tried to turn around but the same growling came closer snap me out as i'm kinda running out of time continue walking forward.

I went to another one, and it shows Doctor! He looks the same.....except his costume change a little. A mix of red, black and cyan blue i guess? And he said something about Dolls? Oh boy......this reality game is getting much creepier and scarier than before as i went to the other one.

This one shows Jester, almost the same......but something is different. He said to me like this along with many eyes staring at me behind him........so many purple eyes!

"Hmmm.......I have many pets already. But you'll be exceptional~. After all, you did make a deal with me."

My eyes wide in horror after hearing that! I knew it.....he remembers....no.....i began panicking and fear. No powers....feeling helpless....no....i won't be their puppet in string again. I have to leave but still have to keep going pretending like nothing happen as i turn around.

The one last mirror i could faintly see the light until a voice calling me. A female.....wait....is that Columbina?

Chapter 19 : Getting Closer

I waited in line like a good girl i am, just for me to walk into the lion dent. But my fist clench while holding a special milkshake for Pierrot. But i stop knowing it might spilled his drink so i still have to be careful. 

The line is moving and i'm closer to Ticket Taker now....i whine myself silently as i think. I wish i could teleport once i'm in trouble just like that time with Pierrot!

"Greetings, visitor. May i punch your - ah! The guest with the Purple Ticket, aren't you?."

The way he greet me change into something as if i'm familiar to them. But the problem is in this timeline i DID not meet him properly. Jester must have talk to him about last night about me. (Maybe i should remind him about not forgetting his Machiatto last night!)

"Hehe.....Thats me~ How did you know?"

I smile weary feeling a bit nervous as i handed him the Purple Ticket the one Jester gave to me.

"He told me about you, and he look forward to see you come to his tent for his performance."

Ticket taker punch my ticket saying this to me. Now i'm feeling nervous! He may interested in me but it doesn't mean he remembered the last timeline......will he?

"You don't say~...hehe.....then can i see the other tent performance? I'm looking forward to see Pierrot and Harleyquinn performance."

"Of course! And don't forget the Cyan tent, we have a special circus cast called Doctor. I'm sure you won't regret missing his performance."

My face lit up hearing Doctor's tent! Yes! I get to see his instead of being his Lab rat! I smile thanking him and before i could go he stop me as he said to me so close......i felt a deep warning in his tone.

"Forgot to remind you, Purple ticket guest~ The Pink and Black tent is strictly forbid to visit. Your ticket won't access to them both."

This makes me surprise! The pink i know but the Black tent?.....Wow....this game must be Overwrite or Upgrade something.

"Uh....Thanks. I'll try to keep that in mind."

I smile as he greet me with his top hat as he turn to greet the other customers after me. I went along through the Circus ground as i saw many few tent instead of only two.

Okay!...It's now or never! Knowing the time of each of their performance i went to Harleyquinn green tent first. But before that i went to the red tent calling a certain quiet monster.

"Pierrot~.....Pierrot?...Wher - Ahh!"

I turn around one sec and he stand right next to me! I almost shriek but not too loud to get everyone's attention.

"Pierrot!...hah...you scared me...hehe"

I chuckled a little knowing his Stalking habit making him feel nervous and worried about my health. 

"I know your performance isn't ready yet but i'll be there after i went to Harleyquinn tent first."

Pierrot face show's a little gloomy hearing his green menace name almost make me laugh. And then i showed him the milkshake i make for him.

"Before i go, i wanna give you this! Ta-da!....A special strawberry milkshake mix with chocolate and coffee in it. I'm not sure what flavour you like so i mix these three. I hope you enjoy it during your free time."

Pierrot is stunt that i would give him something he never expect it to be. His face look like a love sick puppy causing me to almost burst in laughter as i'm struggling to avoid fangirling it! He took it gently as he smile so happy in his goofy ways as i love it.

"......Thank you, my dear..."

He whisper knowing he cannot speak in his act according to his name. I still wonder who name him this way to make him mute. I wave him goodbye for now as i went into the Green tent to see Harleyquinn show.

Just like before he shows portraits about Columbina as the 'Angel' but i know what really happened. After the show i was about to get up from the seat until he finally called me.

"Hello visitor~ Did you enjoy my performance?"

He smile as he look at my small height. I smile gently as i answered him,

"Kinda?.....But it does sounds more of a Macabre to me."

Hearing this he intrigued.

"Oh?~....Does it makes your skin crawl?.....Perhaps a little more....further?~"

He said as he got closer make me trap between him and the tent from running. But i smile playfully as i immediately raise both hand place a grip at his throat showing i will strangled him. The moment he saw my actions and the second i grip his throat he step back making a hiss sound threatened me. 

He didn't say anything yet until something unexpected..............i laugh. I laugh at him seeing his almost weary action until i calmed down  raising both hand indicate signal of surrendered. I said to him smiling.

"Hehehe~.....Sorry...sorry....I really am joking, i swear....Heheh...You really think a girl like me can strangled a big man like you?~"

.................

"Uh......Harleyquinn?......you okay there?...."

He didn't answered first as if he space out for a moment.......like Ticket Taker and Jester before. Feeling awkward as i decided to just side step quickly getting out his tent sweat-dropping.

"Welp! I should go see Pierrot show so BYE!"

I run away like cartoon character as i rush to go inside the Red tent without care if anyone's watching me like a maniac. Unaware a certain individuals watching and observe me as i went into the Red tent.

Meanwhile at the Green tent, Ticket Taker came to him asking,

"Did she hurt you?"

"No...I thought she would, but.......i feel like i known her."

"I knew it. Her touch makes us remembered.....especially Jester."

This makes him look surprise at him as he remembered one last thing about me.

'I'll strangle you in the next life.'

Chapter 18 : Into the Lion den

The next day i woke up i have to get ready for work and meeting Harlequinn for the first time in this timeline. I did promise i will strangled him for accidentally pressing the RESET button instead of CONTINUE as i plan to.

However i can't do that in public so i have to keep my hands to myself now. 

I went outside seeing many flyers scattered knowing people didn't care about vandalism. And lo behold, Harleyquinn came to me offering a flyer for me.

"Care to visit the Circus?~ Here, take a flyer~"

Normally i don't take but then again i might take one so that i can doodle it for fun. After all, if you want to be a Graphic Designer we started from the base, right?~

"Sure, i'll take one."

I smile at him pretend to greet him like first time met. I took his flyer trying to avoid his glove fingers from touching because i have a feeling i already touch Ticket Taker and Jester they acted strange.....not according to the story line but i don't want to risk it.

I was about to walk further from Harleyquinn until Pierrot suddenly block my path causing both me and Harleyquinn surprise.

"Oh! Hi there! Is something wrong?"

I smile at the silent monster as he offered me a paper flower with blood stain on the petal. This make things unexpected knowing he should give to me when both of us alone. But this is broad daylight, out in the open......not to mention letting Harleyquinn saw this.

"Oh my~ You offering her flower?~ Have you met before?"

The green jester monster came between us making Pierrot look at him annoyed but i got used on his attention seeker antic so i said to him.

"Actually yesterday i helped him from getting bullied by that horrible man before. Despite the rumors of missing people, its not the Circus fault for that, right?"

I smile knowing i lied a little. I DO know the circus kidnap so may people! Harleyquinn stare at me trying to see through my lies but i didn't let him see through as i quickly took the paper flower from Pierrot.

"Thank you, Pierrot. That's very kind of you. Welp! I have to go to work now. See you tonight at the circus!"

Without wasting time i run past both of these monsters before Harleyquinn could reach out to me. But Pierrot grab his hand shook his hand not to touch me. The green monster smile sharply at the mute monster pulling his hand back mocking him.

"Never seen you interested on someone before, Pierrot~ Wait till the Jester hear bout this."

"That won't be necessary."  

Both Monster surprise as they turn their head focusing on Ticket Taker came to them in his human disguise.

"She will come to the Circus tonight. Jester seem to be interested on this one."

Harleyquinn felt intrigued hearing this not knowing why i got the leader's attention. But for Pierrot he felt paled knowing if Jester have in store for me.......by the stars have mercy on his beloved Nora from becoming worse than his personal dolls.

Meanwhile where i am, i work as a barista as usual. The same all thing, serving the customers (especially the Karen) and cleaning the tables till late afternoon. By the time this cafe got less customer now the Boss told me to go home earlier today so i could enjoy the Circus.

I smile kindly to him feeling grateful to have such a good boss. But the circus.....ahhh......i wish i could avoid going there but knowing Jester he WILL make sure i come tonight! 

Grrr......i hated when he's like this since the last timeline! I don't care if he's hot with his so called leadership and his power strings, I will prevail!

But......since the RESET, i couldn't feel my powers...nor the Status open. Is something wrong with me?

I shook my head as i focusing on this last few hours working before i could leave on my shift. Suddenly the door rings making me greet as usual.....seeing Harleyquinn come in here with his grin.

"So this is where you work, dear?~ How cozy~"

I sigh a little knowing this is where he ordered his ice coffee. I took his order with no hard feeling smile as i tried my best NOT to strangled him while making him his drink.

"Earlier today you said you would come to see us perform. Which ticket did you require?~"

I smile knowing this would happen as i serve him his ice coffee.

"The Red ticket.~"

I said while smiling brightly making him confused.

"The red one?....Funny~ someone from our circus confirm you required the Purple Ticket."

This makes me look at him surprised. Whoops!....not what i expect him to say but~.....

"Oh no~....you got it wrong. I do have the red one. See!"

I showed him the Red ticket Pierrot gave it to me last night making him jaw drop the sight of it. I chuckled wishing i could take a picture of his reaction like this. Priceless~...

"Heh....in that case, how about we trade?~ I'll give you my Green ticket exchange for that Red one? What do you say?~ hmmm?"

He smiled trying to charm his way to make me his. I admit its a little sickening that these monsters treating us human being nothing but property or plaything. But i am not the type to be push around as i smile cheeky at him.

"Sure i can trade with ya~......for $50."

This make him look more surprise at my remark. Instead of getting angry or annoyed as i expected......he laugh. So hard this Cafe filled nothing but his own voices till he calmed down.

"You~.....are a funny one. I like you, dear~ You sure you won't trade with it?"

I smirk knowing him now as i answered him this,

" Who knows~.....I'll be sure to see ALL of you'll performance. So long as you don't bite me~."

I smile a bit threatening making him smile dangerously down at my height. I know i shouldn't kick at a Hornets nest.....but my fate is seal....unless i outsmart it~

"I can't wait~ See you tonight....little human~"

He left with his Ice coffee as i smile knowing i nailed it at his Poison word.......but wait, He didn't F%$*ing pay his drink!! That Son of B&%ch!!

I face palmed at my stupidity imagined he is laughing at me right outside this cafe. Astafirullah.....have mercy on my soul for tonight.

Later before i got the end of my shift, I quickly make Pierrot favorite Strawberry milkshake with chocolate and coffee flavour. The reason i make this because i waited for him to come by like in the scene but shocking he didn't. So as kind hearted girl i am, i wanna gift him his drink for free as i told my Boss i'm heading off with Milkshake package with me.

Once i left the Cafe i quickly wear my precious hoodie since i first got here. I thank Allah knowing this is the only thing i've ever felt comfort during hardtime. As i like to call it my 'Therapy Hoodie'.

Once i'm all set and ready, i sigh as i walked out the cafe ready to face them all. Each step makes me feel nervous. No power...no status game options....i felt like i'm doing this in real life than just playing it.

It wasn't long till i reach a long line of people's waiting to get their tickets punch by Ticket Taker himself. Despite i'm waiting in line, he manage to spot me out of everyone face's. The way he stare at me through his single eye mask make's me feel so nervous like a certain teacher who manage to spot one quiet student in the entire classroom.

Despite i tease him from last timeline......i gulp having this horrible feeling that he may or may not trying to get back at me.
