(Darrens POV) It had been 3 months since Mr. Crepsley blooded me. I was handing out fliers for the Cirque du freak when I came to an alley. I saw a little girl laying on the ground crying. I went up to her to see what was wrong she looked up at me and I knew that the pain in her eyes could only come from the loss of a someone you cared about. She looked at me and screamed it took a couple of seconds to calm her down.

"Whats wrong?" I asked.

"Yo...you're not going to hurt me?" she asked.

I laughed and helped her up "I won't hurt you," I told her.

"Where do you live?" I asked.

"I live here." she replied.

"Do you want to come live with me and my family?"

" Where do you live?" She asked me.

" I live at a magical place called the Cirque du freak with lots of people amazing magical people." I told her.

"Are you magical?" she asked

"In ways I am," I told her.

"What can you do?" she asked.

" I will show you everything I can do but first I want to know will you come live at the cirque?" I asked.

"I would love to come live with you this place is scary at night I hear things and sometimes drunk men throw their beer cans at me." She said starting to cry again.

" Its alright we can leave now if you would like to," I told her.

She grabbed my hand and I started to lead her back to the cirque.

"How old are you?" I asked

"I am 8 and a half," she told me.

"I'm Darren, what is your name?" I asked her

" I'm Veronica.," she said

"That's a nice name," I told her.

I took her to see Mr. Tall when we got back.

"You can sit down over there," I told Veronica.

"I found her in an alley she's homeless can she stay here?" I asked Mr Tall.

"Of course she can as long as she is willing to help out,"

"I am just please don't send me back to that alley," Veronica said.

"Alright you can stay in Darren and Evras tent for now." Mr Tall told her.

"Lets go I will introduce you to Evra he is a little different but i'm sure you will like him," I told her.

We started walking when I noticed how skinny she was.

"Follow me," I told her

We went and sat down around the bon fire with the rest of the performers.

"I'm Rhamus twobellies," said a jolly big guy.

"Hello," Veronica said shyly.

More performers came and said hello. Finally I asked them to leave her alone and let her eat when she was done I picked her up and carried her to our tent.

"Tomorrow I will introduce you to Evra and my master Mr. Crepsley." I said.

Veronica yawned and fell asleep on the way to the tent. When we got there I laid her in her on my hammock. Note to self pick up another hammock I thought as I got up and headed to Mr Crepsley's van.

Thanks for reading please review.
