Rayleigh quickly spotted the younger girl and made her way over to Gwen. "Gwen? Where's Serenity?" she asked, trying to hide the worry steeping into her voice.
 
((I seriously am trying to read up and find out what's going on X) )) 
"I don't know! I don't even know what's going on!" Gwen said as tear welled up in her eyes. "One minute I was preforming and the Cecila called for an intermission!" She shook her head as she wiped away her oncoming tears "I am so confused right now"
 
(( Well you haven't missed much, currently, Serenity is missing.))


Rayleigh looked very worried by this point. "Oh boy... Well Cecila probably has everything under control right now. You can stick with us until we find-" she said but was interrupted when she heard a loud scream. "Oh god I hope that's not Serenity as she started heading to Serenity's trailer.
 
Gwen went after Ray with her cage in her arms. She nervously walked next to Rayleigh as they went to Serenity's trailer. Fear tugged at Gwen's heart as they approached it. What if she was hurt or dead?
 
Rayleigh threw opened Serenity's trailer and her eyes widened in shock and sadness. "No... No no no no... Serenity!" she cried out as she looked on the sight in horror.


Hang from the ceiling of the trailer, was Serenity. Her blindfold was used as a noose that was hanging her from the ceiling, her arms and legs also stretched out slightly as they were tied to the ceiling as well. She had multiple stab wounds in her abdomen and there was a message in blood on the wall behind her.


"Tick tock, the clock is spinning, how much longer until the train starts chugging... Two o'clock is when the clock goes coo, I suggest you pack up and flow the coop."
 
Michael grabs Ray and hugs her, he places his hand on the back of her head, Michael doesn't want her to see the gruesome sight,


"Jesus Christ.... Gwen! Go get someone!" He exclaims.
 
Gwen turned and ran yelling for anyone. Tears streamed down her face as she ran to find Cecila. What was going on? She didn't know, but why was Serenity killed? She saw Cecila and yelled out her name as she ran to her
 
Cecila blinked as she looked from the wolf man towards Gwen. "Gwen? What is it? What happened?" she asked as she stood up, all of this was quite taxing, she had to help the wolf man but it seemed that might have to wait as she turned to deal with Gwen's problem.


Rayleigh shaking hard, covers her mouth as she tries to contain her sobs, not really noticing that he's brought her close and is hugging her. She couldn't get that sight out of her mind. "Oh my god.... Oh my god... Serenity.... Serenity...." she just kept mumbling over and over.
 
While Michael's hugging Ray, he leads her from the doorway and outside,


"Shhh, it's ok, it's ok." He tries to calm her down and strokes her hair,


"everything's ok." He has a worried expression.
 
"It's S-Serenity. She was...k-killed!" Gwen said as she grasped Cecila's arm lightly. "Y-you have to come" She struggled to say as she cried. "Rayleigh is already there... but there is a message" she tried to keep her voice as steady as possible, but she couldn't. Today she had been talking with Serenity not even thinking that such a sweet girl could be killed like that.
 
Rayleigh shuddered slightly as she clung onto his shirt slightly, shaking harder as she continued to contain the tears like holding up a dam when it had just rained heavily. "Serenity... S-Serenity..." she continued to mutter as she rocked in his embrace.


Cecila's eyes widened slightly. "No... Oh No..." she said as she looked back at the wolf man on the ground before quickly heading with Gwen towards the sight of the murderer, Serenity's trailer where she say Rayleigh all wrapped up in Michael's arms and Serenity's trailer door open ajar.
 
Gwen stopped outside the trailer and just turned looking at Cecila. Was she really going to be able to handle the girl she had adopted? Gwen looked at Ray and Michael with slightly puffy eyes as she had also been crying and still was. She looked down at her trembling hands and thoughts of Serenity smiling and talking with her then Serenity's lifeless body hanging from the ceiling. Gwen just crouched down and held her head as the images kept flashing through her mind.
 
Michael sighs and looks at Cecilia,


"What now?" He asks her, he holds Ray close.
 
Rayleigh shaking slightly, holding onto his shirt as she continues to mumble and repeat Serenity's name over and over again like a broken telephone. "Serenity... Serenity..." she said softly while holding back her tears, in shock.


Cecilia looked at him slightly before going into Serenity's trailer to view the message and take Serenity down from the position she had been put up in and laid her on her bed. Stepping out of Serenity's trailer and closing the door slightly. "Well for one. We are going to send everyone in the circus home so I can make the announcement to the others. We shall bury her body in the morning... And then we're going to Miami." she said softly.


Rayleigh felt her damn break as she start to cry in hysterically, she clung onto Michael like he was her life line. The once strong girl looked broken as Cecila's words repeated over in her mind, confirming that Serenity truly was dead and there was nothing she could do. (@Stew, @kawiibunnygirl )
 
Gwen slowly stood up and held her cage to her chest. She sat there in silence as she listened to Rayleigh's cries. She kept her gaze o the ground as Cecila spoke. She didn't know what to think. She was confused and had no idea what to do. Was it Gwen's fault that she had left Serenity to go investigate the crash in her trailer? Her carousel wasn't lit up at all and it didn't move. She just felt worse and worse as she began to think it was somehow her fault that such a sweet girl was killed
 
Michael looks down at Ray,


"Ray, are you going to be okay?" He hated to see her like this.
 
Rayleigh crying hard into his chest, gripping his shirt and shaking her head. "N-No. I'm not... T-That could have been me... M-Me and Serenity shared a Trailer... I-I can't sleep in there now.." she said while sobbing hard. (@Stew)


Cecila looks at Michael. "Take her to your trailer to calm down and Gwen. Come with me, we need to tell the others to close up, Plus I need to go take care of our new addition.. he was stabbed by some stupid kids... And Gwen. It's not your fault. You had your own things to deal with." she said while walking with her. (@kawiibunnygirl )
 
Gwen kept quiet as she followed Cecila. Her hands had a loose grip o her cage handle as they walked. Cecila's words may have been true, but they felt like a lie to Gwen.
 
Michael nods and walks Ray to his trailer, he sets her down on his bed,


"You can have the bed, I'll sleep on the floor." He gets an extra blanket and pillow from the bottom of his armoire and lays it on the floor,


"If you need anything, let me know." He says as he sits in front of his study desk.
 
Rayleigh hiccups slightly as she tries to calm down, sobbing softly into the pillow.


Cecila lightly puts an arm around Gwen's shoulders. "Gwen. It's not your fault Serenity is dead." she said while walking to the big top tent were mostly everyone was gathered.
 
"Okay..." Gwen said quietly as she kept walking. She looked where everyone was gathered and took a deep breath. This whole thing was a really big deal for her. Serenity was such a nice person and Gwen looked up to her.
 
The wolf was in a haze of confusion as people began to run around, half panicked. What was going on? Why did he feel so sleepy now? The man struggled to stay away until he finally gave up and laid down in the grass. He was only halfway conscious when one of the workers picked him up and carried him to the medicine tent. The wolf man gave a half hearted growl before he fell limp and unconscious. One of the staff's nurses met the worker at the front of the tent to take the man. They laid him down on a cot there, and the nurse went to work stitching up his wound.
 
Rayleigh slowly falls asleep on Michael's bed, tears still fresh on her cheeks. (@Stew)


Cecila rubbed Gwen's back before going off to check on the Wolf man since she felt bad for leaving him on his own. She headed to the medical tent and threw open the curtains as she strolled in. "How is he?" she asked the nurse working on his stitches. (@Metronome)
