Tanta sunk her black fangs into the medium of cinnamon, caramel and cocoa, an auburn disco radiating from her own warmth. She was four, still yet cradled in the cashmere carnival of her own world.4

Own warmth.5

Own world.6

Owned.7

"Tanta," her father said, brushing his Styrofoam fingers over the tips of her wings.8

"Come home."9

Stained glass annexes flickered, spicing her prey in star fire.10

"Tanta..."11

The man's lips parted, fissures of dried blood crackling with every twist, his eyes dilating.12

"Da-ughter."13

The little girl drew back, her left hand still clutching onto the turquoise unicorn her father had won her at the Ball Toss booth. The animal was soiled with dirt and sweat, its cotton guts excreted from the rips in its seam. She plastic smiled at her dying father, supernovas reverberating in the expanse of her wings.14

"Sweet dreams, daddy." she murmured brusquely, kissing him on the forehead, his marshmallow white skin contrasting against her cotton-candy blue.15

She left the trashed corner of the carnival, her eyes tracing over the words "Freak Show".16

Caged, screaming humans wearing masks17

The creatures there were all fake. Cardboard.18

Illusions.19

She was too metallic to be fake.20

      It was originally for a contest but I lost it, and just found it again a few days ago. I forgot what the contest was about, but it had something to do with...Ugh, I don't remember. But if you saw it, you'd understand. It had something to do with fantasy, and something to do with evil, I think. I just thought up an evil four year old fairy who kills her father on her fourth birthday.
