CONCEPT FOR NEW STORY

A circus of immortals run by a demon kicked out of hell. John had a huge lust for power and would regularly whip his circus workers into submission(other than a select few) and would do the same to nearby citizens. Almost as soon as the circus was created they had taken over the world. All the members were locked away in the big tent to ensure they didn't escape, higher security was used on Henery and Colin. Henry and Colin were the only people keeping the group from falling apart. One day a key was mysteriously slipped into the room Henry and Colin were kept in and four of the eight members escaped. Thomas, Amias, and Jane stayed behind to help John hunt down the others. The few free from the  whipping are Jane, Colin, and Henry(Thomas and Amias take Henry's punishments)
