To my Koro, who I lost earlier this year. Who stole me from my mother when I was nine-years-old, booked us flights to Christchurch, New Zealand, and took me to my first ever circus.

I get my rebellious soul partially from him.

โ€œWelcome to Midnight Mayem. We are not a circus, we are not a carnival, and the only thing that you should be afraid of losing tonight, is your sanityโ€ฆโ€

Thirteen years ago, I felt evil. It penetrated my flesh and imprinted its scent into my soul to create a haunting concoction of poison, also known as The Shadow. I would further use this scent to draw out other evil because The Shadow was the worst of the worst. He wasnโ€™t just dark or evil; he was deranged. There was no good in his soul, no droplets of light. He tormented me. Everywhere I turned, he was there to make sure I knew that Iโ€™d never be free.

In every dark corner, he would be there. Watching me, waiting. For what? I never knew. But I was about to find outโ€ฆ

Dove Noctem Hendry. Cheer captain and most popular girl at Charlston Academy, apparently. People were astounded that I became so popular so quickly in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, even as a small child. We moved here when I was just short of eleven, right afterโ€”the incident. The incident was something we didnโ€™t talk about. I mean, my parents and highly paid shrinks could only bring it down to me suffering from PTSD and suppressed memory. Itโ€™s all Iโ€™d known, which was not much at all. But according to this yearbook, I was the most popular girl at school and a modern-day ballerina. Yearbooks are weird. Like, hey! Hereโ€™s a reminder of what might have been the worst years of your life. Mine werenโ€™t bad; they were actually pretty great. I just didnโ€™t like reminders in general.

A knock on the door pulled me out of nostalgia. โ€œCome in!โ€ I yelled, closing the book.

My dad was standing at the threshold, his collar loosened around his neck and a smile on his face. โ€œWeโ€™re thinking of getting takeout for dinner. What do you want?โ€

I fluttered my eyelashes. โ€œThai!โ€

Dad nodded his head toward the hallway. โ€œThai it is. Come on, before your mom starts yelling about your ballerina slippers being left out in the foyer.โ€ Mom complained about everything, but she liked to pick even more when it came to me. I was used to it. When youโ€™d been cultivated by the neglect of your own mother, itโ€™s easy to acclimatize to the callousness of the world.

Her emotional desertion only somewhat stabilized me in a way, making me stronger, and anyway, I was one hundred percent a daddyโ€™s girl.

Climbing off the covers, I dashed into my closet to pull on my Ugg boots. My mom did nothing but stay at home and work on her garden beds, and my father was into political science. He wanted to run for office one day, probably sooner rather than later.

I treaded down the marble stairs, an extra bounce in my step. I had been reciting the cheer that would no doubt take home Nationals, so every single step was a dance step.

โ€œCome on, kiddo.โ€ Dad pulled me under his arm, kissing the top of my head, just as my mom smiled at me, opening the door.

It happened fast.

Pop! Pop! Pop!

I remembered my dad shoving me behind him, and the desperate screams coming from my mom. We all dropped to the ground, my father lying on top of me, his back to my front, shielding me from harm.

โ€œYou need to run, Dove. Run.โ€

Iโ€”words were caught in my throat, threatening to choke me.

The door swung open, and four men stood still, all with their guns raised. They were wearing plain black bandanas, and on any other day, I would have thought they were street thugs, maybe wanting money. Until I noticed a couple of them were wearing suits.

The main one tilted his head, and just when I thought he was about to say something, my dad opened his mouth. โ€œDove is going to leave before you do anythingโ€ฆโ€

They seemed to think over their next move. Words being silently spoken between the distance of each breath.

โ€œDoveโ€ฆโ€ My father leaned up onto his elbow, his eyes coming to mine. A dark blue pool thatโ€™s deep enough to spill over his cheeks. โ€œYouโ€™re going to leave.โ€ His voice was slow. Hushed, but forceful.

I shook my head, not wanting to leave my dad. Not like this. Not ever.

โ€œLittle Birdโ€ฆโ€ he pleaded, tears finally leaking over the edges. โ€œPlease.โ€

He shoved me back, and the first thing I felt was the warm liquid seep through my clothes and stick to my belly. The first thing I smelled was the strong metal slosh of blood. The first thing I heard was the dying screams of my mother. But the last thing I heard before everything went black was his voice.
