Chapter 1 – Amazing Grace
Fang POV
I watch my sister finish her contortionist act. She puts her black fedora on her with her feet. Then she stands, bows, and walks out of the ring with her usual swagger.
"You were amazing, Grace" I tell her.
She grins "Yup, that's me, amazing Grace!"
I chuckle.
"And introducing… the great lion tamer, Fang!" the loudspeakers announce.
"Good luck!" Grace calls, but I barely hear her because I'm already walking into the ring and forcing myself not to squint from the too bright lights.
My dad gets out of the way and they bring out our circus lion, Charlotte. Charlotte was huge from being overfed by Grace and lazy. But if I was a stranger watching Charlotte sauntering (A/n: wow, Fang has a big vocabulary, god I sound like an idiot) towards me I would be placing bets on how soon the poor lion tamer was going to die.
I make Charlotte sit, beg, bow, and dance. The audience claps loudly after every trick.
"-now for the grand finale, we will give you a taste of the wild!" My dad's voice booms through the loudspeakers.
"Speak" I say quietly to Charlotte.
Charlotte slowly walks to the edge of the ring. When she's a yard away she stops and rears up on her back legs and lets out a impossibly loud roar. I smirk at the terrified faces of the people in the front row.
Charlotte gets ready to roar again but I stop her.
"Cage" I order Charlotte.
She turns around and walks back to her cage. Once the crowd realizes Charlotte isn't going to attack them they start cheering again. I bow and leave the ring.
"Gracie, could you clear the dishes off the table?" My mom asks.
"You know, Mom, you could call me Grace like everyone else" Grace says.
"But I like Gracie so much better!" Mom says.
Grace rolls her eyes and starts grabbing the dirty plates off the table. When she finally has all our dinner plates in the sink she collapses in the chair and bangs her elbow on the table.
"I'm going to die!" Grace screams dramatically.
Mom smiles "Don't worry honey, it's nothing a kiss won't fix."
Grace jumps out of her chair. "I'm fine, I'm fine!"
Mom looks doubtful "I don't know, maybe I should kiss your boo boo just in case."
Grace runs out of the kitchen/dining room with Mom following her. Good they're finally gone. I walk silently to the freezer like the super ninja I am and take an ice cream bar out.
"I told you." Grace's voice says in her confident way. I turn around and start walking out of the- wait what? Grace's voice?
I turn around. Grace and my mom are standing in the kitchen with identical looks of triumph.
"Fang, put the ice cream back in the freezer." Mom orders me.
I sigh and do what she says.
"Grace, you can have a cookie." Mom says.
Grace grins and skips over to the cookie jar and takes out a cookie.
"Why?" I ask.
"Because I helped catch a criminal," Grace says superiorly.
"So now I'm a criminal?" I ask.
"Yup!" Grace says.
I trip her when she walks past me.
Grace slowly stands up. Then she attacks me.
Lacey: Yes! I finally did it! I finished this chapter! This story is going to be soooo much fun to write! Anyways, review for any reason. Constructive criticism is appreciated.
