It was a quite evening in the shokushu academy, girls were bustling about doing their chores and school activities. The monster were out raping and whatever else they do, Mizuho however was enjoying a nice long hot shower in the gym. The steam filled the large shower room, she sang to herself some metal tune. Turning off the water she stepped out using a towl to dry her long pink hair, she wrapped another around her body and walked back into the locker room. Keeping a wary eye out for the usual pop out "hello" tentacle that likes to attack. Making her way to her locker she performed the combo on the lock and proceeded to open the locker. Upon swinging the door wide she noticed somthing out of place, somthing strange yet disturbing. A doll....

*A small teddy bear sat in her locker, shabby brown terry cloth, worn and faded. Four black x's stitched up the chest, leading to a forlorn head bearing only a single black button eye. The doll did have a certain air of menace about it, a sense of something more lurking within the cloth and cotton shell. In its paws it held a note card, words written on it in bright red ink.*

DON'T LOOK UP.

*Just as her eyes finished scanning the words, she could hear a scuttling sound from the pipes overhead, the sound growing louder and louder in the enclosed room.*

Mizuho laughed and tossed the card on the floor, suddenly she heard a noise from above then looked up, searching the ceiling. Her Fists clenched thinking this was no ordinary joke somthing was seriously wrong here. "wh...who's there!?" She yelled out, clutching the towl around her tighter, she grabbed her clothes out of the locker.

*The clattering noises on the pipes above grew louder, and more numerous. When it seemed that the echoes would drown out even her thoughts, everything went still, silent. In the sudden quiet all she could hear were the drips of water from the pipes, and her own breath. When she turned to grab her clothes, she saw another note card in the bears paws, the bear in the exact same position as before. The new card bore the same red writing, but a different message.*

DON'T TRY TO RUN.

*As her eyes scanned the tiny paper, she heard a nerve wracking screech of metal tearing apart, one of the benches ripping free of the bolts holding it to the stone floor. It sailed through the air to slam across the door, shivering as it seemed to stick to the wall on either side, barring the exit.*

Grabbing a pair of jeans and a shirt she had in the locker, mizuho quickly put them on, discarding the fact of grabbing a Bra, she slipped the shirt on. Slamming the locker door shut her eyes scanned the room as she backed toward the wall. "there had to be another way out of this room...." Panick was setting in, but she kept herself quite calm. This wasnt the first time this had happend to her in one form or another. "ok miz think think....." As she tapped the wall she felt the grating of the vent, eyes widening she quickly turned and yanked the screen off and dove inside. Making her way through the tight passage she hoped it would lead her to another room....hopfully.

*She found the vent cramped and dusty, causing her to sneeze a few times as she made her way. The scuttling sounds from before began to echo in the vent behind her, giving the impression that a herd of tiny elephants had followed her in. As she frantically crawled around a corner, something caught her eye in the dim lighting. Sitting square in her path, sat the teddy bear, holding another note card, the same red writing almost seeming to glow.*

DON'T THINK YOU CAN ESCAPE

*The vent around her began to shake, the metal whining and shivering around her. She only had a brief moment to brace herself, before the entire section she was in broke free from the bolts securing it in place. As the dust settled, she found herself in a dusty, and disused boiler room, apparently one of those that served to heat the water for the showers. Cobwebs hung thick from the pipes overhead, the boiler heating the room to almost a rainforest temperature, the humidity the same. Through the snaking and steaming pipes, she could just make out a metal door set into the far wall.*

Miz groaned holding her head, she winced a trickle of blood running down the side of her face. "what...the fuck happend?" She exclaimed, mind still confused on the recent events unfolding around her. Getting up on wobbly legs the girl made her way toward what seemed like a door. "gotta get outta here quick" She tried the doorknob several times but didnt budge.

*Quiet laughter echoed in the room, just before a loud shriek of metal tearing sounded from the center of the room. Steam began to fill the boiler room, thick billowing clouds coming from the torn pipes. In the steam she could just make out a human sized and shaped figure, circling closer between the pipes, details hidden. As she shook the locked door, a white piece of paper fluttered down in front of her eyes, landing at her feet, red inked words facing up to her.*

WELCOME TO THE CIRCUS

*Looking back up, she could see the same teddy bear, standing atop the door frame, looking down at her with it's stitched mouth twisted up into an evil smile. The four black x's stitched on its chest were writhing and popping, even as it raised one paw and pointed behind her, the wicked smile widening.*

"Ah ha ha ha ha ha! She runs, she hides, she bleeds, she cries, nothing but terror within her eyes! Torment and torture til hope is gone, we'll bend her and break her, the show goes on!"

*Another peal of demented laughter echoed from behind her, the shadowy figure moving closer still, the voice high pitched and clearly insane.*

Mizu jumped back and looked at the approaching dark figure. 'I DONT KNOW WHO THE HELL YOU ARE BUT GET THE FUCK BACK RIGHT NOW!"
Mizu screamed loud, she searched around and found a bent pipe on the ground whitch she grabbed. Turning the girl began wailing on the door trying to get it to fall down or somthing'HELP! SOMBODY OPEN THE DOOR!!"

*She felt a tug at her hair, just as a soft hissing noise reached her ears. A solid thunk, from the metal door. Shivering in the metal, sat a long, wickedly sharp knife, pink strands of hair falling slowly from it to the floor. Another hiss, another tug, and another knife quivered in her other side, more strands drifting in the air. As she turned to face the direction the knives came from, the dark figure flipped forward out of the steam, landing mere feet in front of her. The figure bowed low, head almost touching the ground, before rising, revealing the garish facepaint, and twisted contenance, of a very sinister clown. It began to dance from side to side, talking in its maddening sing-song voice, juggling knives in a blurred circle between its hands.*

"Ha ha ha ha! You cannot flee, for Snicker I be! Face me, we play, turn around, and I slay! Ke ke ke ke!"

*From just above them, the teddy bear, smiled wide, stitches writhing and popping as the freakish circus performer terrified the girl below him.*

Mizu flinched and looked at the stupid looking clown, she glanced back at the Knives. "alright iv had about enough of this toy shit....you wanna play rough OK! LETS DANCE MOTHER FUCKER!" She suddenly flung the pipe at the clown and turned grabbing the Knives out of the door, as soon as she had one in her hand she grabbed it by the blade and flung with precesion at the clown. The girl rushed the clown holding the other blade in a stabbing stance.

*The blade flew true, stabbing into the madly laughing figure with a solid thok. The clown stopped laughing, looking down at the knife, then back up at the charging girl. It spread its arms wide, knives falling around it to clatter on the ground like metallic rain. It bared tiny yellow fangs in a smile as she neared, hand reaching to a pink flower on its lapel.*

"AHHHHHHHHH DIE!!" She slide across the ground on her side and slashed out at the clown hoping to stab and knock it down. The room still bellowing steam from everydirection.

*The blade scythed through the air, striking the clown right under its upraised arm. While this blow would have been horrific to a person, it merely made a solid thunk as it sunk into the wood of the clown's body. The fiendish thing cackled at her, aiming the flower at her face and squeezing, a reddish mist spraying out into her eyes, nose, and open mouth. It burned like mace, blinding her, gagging her. The little bear watching from above chuckled darkly, watching the girl struggle.*

Mizuho coughed and gagged, her hands clutching her face. The girl got up and staggerd about screaming in pain. Eyes stinging and throat sore, the pink haired tomboy slammed into several downed pipes and bumped the wall a few times. She crashed to her knee's and wiped at her eyes woth a ever growing fury. She tried to open her eyes several times but could only see blur's.
