Third Person POV
A 14-year-old Salvadorian girl walks down a loud, busy city street in a blood red TILT ruffle front chiffon shirt; black jeans; black and red gladiator shoes; her wavy dark brown hair in flowing past her shoulders. After a couple of minutes walking and people barely noticing her, she ends up at the entrance of a park, she raises her hand and fire comes from her and heads towards the thick forest. The trees in front of her burn up soon falling into place, like a puzzle, from the flames with water following shortly after to put out the flames, after a few moments an intricate path is carved in front of her showing the foot of a mountain. The girl walks to the foot of the mountain before stopping, she crosses her arms and waits until a blood red portal appears in front of her, she stands straight up and a man covered with battle scars with a black cloak on walks out.
"Greetings, my daughter." He says in a emotionless voice.
"Hello...father." She says back trying to hold the hatred off her face which seems hard, but the man who claims to be her father seems to notice.
"No emotion, emotion shows weakness." He says and the girl's whole face turns blank before she looks at him. "You have another mission, it is about the Lord of Vampaneze."
"Who is he?" She asked with no emotion.
"I must inform you about him and the other vampanze first." he begins sitting down on a nearby bench.
"The vampanze are a giant threat to us vampires, they kill anything and everything they can get there palms on," He says while the girl walks over to him. The man looks at her and she just looks back at him with emotionless eyes. "They are highly dangerous especially the son of the Lord of Vampanze; Jason, he uses a undercover name which we don't know about, he is a undercover assassin for missions the Vampanze Lord assigns him to do. You will be sent off somewhere else to do this mission."
At this point the girl tries to keep her face emotionless as the man walks back towards the portal and says, "You will leave tomorrow."
"Where will I be sent?" She asks turning towards him. Her father looks back at her while vanishing into the portal.
"Central City." Then he disappears into the portal. As soon as he is gone the girl smiles at the name of the city and that she is leaving. She runs up to a tree, runs up it, does a flip, lands on her feet, and yells, "Yeeeaaaahhhh! I'm finally leaving! See ya!"
Just when she is about to go into the nearby woods the girl stops, changes direction, and starts to run there. When she reaches her destination, a campsite, she walks across a lake and inside. Inside the campgrounds is completely different than what someone would see from the outside. There are trailers that have different styles, such as ribs or gothic style, and tents that are big enough to house 2 people. A boy with snake scales for skin walks by, a man with 2 stomachs is sitting on a chair as a person tosses him knives and he eats them, a woman is hanging on to a bar that is several feet in the air with her teeth, a lady in beautiful clothes is holding a plate walks up to the girl and asks, "How are you, Jane?"
"I'm well, Madame Truska. Uh, have you seen Evra, Darren, and/or Rebecca?" The girl, Jane, asked.
"Rebecca is in the wardrobe trailer while Evra and Darren get food for the Little People. Why?" Madame Truska said while putting the plate down.
"I have big news and I to see them before my trip." She answered while a man in a very baggy shirt walked by. "Hey, Alexander. Amazed any normals yet?"
"It seems as if a few normals can't keep their dinner down." He answered.
"Sweet. Well, got to go before I find that Evra is trying to eat the rats." The girl said before fliting towards the creek.
Jane's POV
I flitted to the creek to see if Evra and Darren were still there. To think that it's been exactly one month since he got here and only recently he found out that I was Mr. Crepsley's first assistant before Darren came along due to that oh, so great prophecy for the vampire and vampaneze war. I crept up behind them, took them both by the shoulders, and said, "Freeze and no one gets drained of blood."
Darren turned around and smiled at me quickly before asking, "Why would you drain the only other person the understands you?"
Evra turned around as well and asked, "Plus, I thought that snake were toxic to you vampires."
"There are 4 kinds of vampires and I am the kind that can drink any kind of blood I want without any side effects, as long as I don't drink too much of it. Besides you never know what a hungry vamp would do, right 'bro'" I said while climbing up a tree and hanging upside down from the lowest branch.
"True, I almost drank my sister's blood at first and whenever a vampire bloods a person they don't know what kind of vampire they will become. Jane is one of the lucky ones who can drink any kind of blood and age every hundred years unlike Mr. Crepsley and myself who have to drink certain types of blood and age one-tenth the rate of a humans." Darren said while throwing a stick at me. I caught it and threw it back at him. The three of us started to laugh while we headed towards where the Little People stayed. Along the way I kept looking out into space and Darren had to bring me back to reality ever couple minutes. This made them worry about me and made Darren ask, "What's going on?"
"My father sent me on a mission for him and now I'm starting to regret it since all he ever does is tell me to show no emotion, and give me god damn missions. Darren, you are lucky." I said while playing with the ruffles on my shirt.
"What's the mission? Maybe we can help." Evra said while gesturing to Darren and himself.
"I have to see what Jason, the Vampaneze Lord's son, wants in Central City. Besides you guys are busy, Darren has to train and he has to help Crepsley while you have your performances with the cirque. There is no way I am pulling you guys away from here." I said while crossing my arms. "I'm gonna see if Madame Truska will go or maybe Corma."
"If you take either of them, the show will be down 1 freak." Evra said. "Either way, take one of them or me."
"Yeah, but if I take you with me then everyone would miss your melodious music. We don't want that now, do we?" I said in an obvious tone.
"True." Evra answered.
"Good. Now I gotta flit before Crepsley wake up and makes me feed, Octa. I swear that spider hates me." I said just before I flitted to my tent that seemed like a normal black pitch tent from the outside, but thanks to magic it was 3 floors in the inside. When I got inside, I took a duffle bag with 2 different types of hair dye for my disguise, scissors to cut my ever growing hair; it grows as fast as Madame Truska's beard, extra clothes, extra shoes, hats, 3 pairs of sunglasses, my spell book, several potion bottles, herbs, my amulet to warn me about nearby vampaneze, my computer, extension cable for computer, cell phone, cell phone charger, and a couple hundred bucks that my father sends for my monthly allowance. Everything seems set and now to see if Madame Truska or Corma would come with me as my 'guardian'. Without wasting anytime, I flitted around the grounds until I spotted Madame Truska. I walked up to her and asked, "Madame Truska, I was wondering if you could accompany my on a mission."
"I'm sorry, Jane, but I have to stay here at the cirque. Ask Corma, I'm sure that she will say yes." She answered. I nodded and then flitted to where I last saw Corma Limbs. Turns out that she was still at the food trailer with Alexander, who must've joined her recently. Normally I would leave them alone, but my father says that I leave tomorrow night and I need an escort now so I walked up to her and said, "Hey, Corma."
"Hi, Jane. How are you?" She asked in response.
"Well, but I have a mission and I was wondering if you could join me. My dad never wants me to go on solo missions. Please." I said while putting my hands together in a begging way. Sure I'm 14, but Corma is in her 20's a legal adult and very responsible in many ways. She sucked in a deep breath looked as if she was thinking it over and then turned towards me.
"Okay. Just tell me when we leave." Corma answered. I let out a breath that I did not know that I was holding.
"My dad said tomorrow night and that the trip to Central City will be faster than, well flitting." I said while smiling.
"Okay that will give me more than enough time to get ready. We leave tomorrow night. Oh, and does Hibernius know?" Corma asked
"He told me that if I get a mission then I should just go and complete it since he does want to remain neutral with the vampires and the vampaneze." I answered while moving my eyes to the sides as I repeated what Mr. Tall told me when I first came here. Corma smiled and told me to rest for tomorrow while she gets ready. Quickly I smiled, turned, sucked in a deep breath, and flitted to check and see how my friends were doing. Not many people know that I am a very social person, I have about 10 friends in total. They are Evra, Rebecca, Darren, Mai; the half-cat half-human, Jack; the half-jackal half-human, Nat; the only person who can whistle to a point where no human, freak, or half-human can hear it, Luna; the freak with the ability to pull objects out of thin air, Sol; Luna's twin brother and the boy who can gain strength by absorbing the sun's rays of light, Cheshire; the girl who has the powers of the Cheshire cat, and Blak, he can out run both a vampire and a sports car without stopping for breathing. My friends are like family and Darren is basically family since we were both blooded by Crepsley. I stopped in front of Luna and Sol's tent and gave a quick Are you home? whistle. 2 simultaneous whistles came from inside and I went in. The inside of the tent was like mine, but was half gold and half silver. "Sololuna twins! I know your in here, so come out!"
"Coming, we're coming." I heard from the floor above me, Luna.
"Give us a minute. Mai accidentally threw Jack into the wind tunnel, again." Sol continued. He and Luna can't get closer than where they are now. They never leave each other's side unless for ya know bathroom and there is a story saying that they were born holding each other for dear life, one not wanting to leave the other.
"They always fight like cats and dogs." Blak said with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.
"Problem with cats, Blak?" I heard Cheshire ask. She is always protective of cats and nothing changes that.
"Stop fighting and pull!" Nat yelled at our 2 prepared to fight friends. I heard a loud thump and ran up the spiral staircase. Once I got there, Jack was on top of all our friends.
"Hm, dog pile. Dog... pile. Dog on top of the pile. Nice." I said while whipping out my iPhone and taking a photo of my friends. "So, going on my blog."
"Thank you... Jane. For reminding us that we can't practice judo without you taking a photo." Mai said while pushing Jack off her. Sol was at the bottom and pushed everyone to their feet. I shrugged my shoulders while giving a slight smirk.
"Ain't changing this half-vamp." Blak said while looking at the photo I took. "Send that to me."
"Done. Now I have news major." I said while trying not to let out one of my ear-piercing squeaks. They all knew what kind of news it would be, but when I held back squeaks then it was bigger. "Y'all know how we have friends in Central C? Well, dial their numbers 'cause I'm heading to Central City and you all are going there the day after I leave, that way we can check out DC2"
Cheshire disappeared with her smile fading last, she does this every time she's happy. Luna and Sol's eyes blazed silver and gold for a full minute while Blak almost made his feet go 100 mph. Mai and Jack fist bumped just before Mai's claws came out while Nat gave her second loudest whistle in the world. The 7 of them tackled me in a huge group hug and stayed there until I said, "Choking... not... breathing... not... invulnerable."
"Sorry." They said in usion while dispersing from the circle that they made.
"Central City is huge and now I would kill your half-vampire soul because you get to go there quickly and for free." Mai said while retracting her claws.
"Nope, not that easy. I have a mission." I said while leaning against the currently transparent Cheshire. "My mission is to figure out what Jason, Lord of the Vampaneze's son, is doing there and why he is there. All while trying not to get killed."
"Hm, Central C. Getting to see DC2 in person. As well as having a vacation from the cirque. I say you lucky. Very lucky." Luna said while pulling out a comb, guess from where? Yeah, that's what I thought.
"Look we might want to talk about it tomorrow morning because our performance starts in 'bout an hour." I said while tapping my wrist. Blak seemed to only move an inch as his outfit changed and his eyes bugged out.
"Ready." He voiced. Luna and Sol kicked us out of their tent that way we all could get ready. I flitted to my tent, up to the second floor, and walked to my small chest. In there was a long black TFNC Pleated Chiffon Bandeau with a red lining, my black Turvy Gladiator sandals, and my brown dream-catcher necklace that my grandmother gave me. Quickly, I changed into my other clothes, went outside, and waited for everyone to come as we all went through the portal into Darren's old town. When we got backstage, Harkat and Mr. Tall went to the entrance to greet everyone while the rest of us got ready for out acts. My freaky friends and I were the last act after Mr. Crepsley and Madame Octa. Tonight was a full house, so many freak-lovers in this rundown, beat up, abandoned theater, it made my heart seize by my memory of when I got blooded.
Third Person POV
"Now for our final act. The enticing and ever mystifying, STRIKERS!" Mr. Tall bellowed. The curtains went up as Blak zipped on to the stage with blinding speed.
"Hey there, everybody. My name is Blak and these are my friends." Blak said while motioning to the curtains.
"Manners, Blak, manners." Cheshire's voice said from behind him and slowly she began to appear just like the cheshire cat, smile then eyes then head and finally body. "My name is Cheshire."
"I am Sol!" Sol exclaimed from the east balcony that was near the stage.
"I am Luna!" Luna continued from the west balcony that was across from Sol. The twins jumped on to the stage making the two freaks go into the air and Sol caught them while Luna pulled out a microphone out of thin air. "Now here are the rest of out friends."
An ear piercing whistle came from behind the stage as Nat came out with Jack and Mai following close behind. "I am Nat."
"I am Mai, the half-human half-cat who can kick butt." Mai said while her claws came out. Jack scoffed as he gave a loud howl towards the sky.
"They call me Jack due to the fact that I am half-jackal and half-human. I have several abilities that make me awesome." Jack said while hitting the section of his chest where his heart was placed.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Don't get cocky, Jack." Jane said while flitting on to the stage. Cheers went around the crowd as she went to the middle of the group's line-up. She did a few hand gestures and fire started to appear in the air. "I am Jane and I can create as well as control fire."
The lights in the theater went out along with Jane's fire. Soon a small light came and everyone started to whisper about a candle. More flames appeared by the stage and everyone saw that no one was there. Just when they were about to leave, Cheshire appeared on the stage with a Cheshire style smile and said, "Fight."
Mai and Jack walked into the light and started to do a combination of dancing and martial arts on the stage. Nat was making music while whistling to make it sound like a flute. Blak was making ambers go up into the air and make amazing art work while Sol and Luna did a mock fight behind Mai and Jack. Jane was making the flames go higher up whenever one person landed on the stage floor. When the music started to finish everyone finished up the routine, Mai pinned Jack while Sol pinned Luna, Blak finished his art piece and Jane made the flames go really high up and then everyone who didn't fight dropped to a kneeling position and the flames blinked out. The theater lights went on and everyone was backstage while Mr. Tall told the crowd that the show was over.
[The Next Night]
Jane's POV
I already said bye to my friends at the cirque and left with Corma to the spot where my 'father' told me to meet him the other night. The 2 of us sat quietly on two different rocks and I played around with my fire abilities, tonight I was wearing a red off the shoulder shirt with a black spaghetti strap under it; black skinny jeans; black and red gladiators; my extra-long hair stuffed in a brown beanie except for my side bang that hangs over my left eye. Quickly I stop and put out my flames when a dark portal appears in front of us and a woman with black hair comes out with a black cloak on.
"A-are you... Mr. Hudson's... daughter?" She asks me while taking deep breaths, I just nod my head in response while standing up.
"I've come to take you ... to Central ... City." She says while reaching her hand to me, I notice that the woman's hand is gone and is replaced by a synthetic hand. I just ignore her offer and head towards the portal with Corma, but stop when I am at the entrance.
"Come on." I say turning towards the black haired woman, the woman nods her head and walks toward the portal. The three of us step inside the portal before everything turns completely dark, my insides panic, but I don't show it instead I grips my shirt softly. We end up at another forest not so different from the one we just came from, I walk up a few steps; checking out the area before turning back to the woman who is just staring at me.
"Where do we stay?" I asked in my emotionless tone, the woman walks up to me while shaking her head.
"You two will live in the city." She says and I just look back at the forest.
"Let's explore." I say and start walking, but the woman grasps my arm.
"No later, it's to dangerous out here at night." The woman says, but I just snatch my arm back.
"I'll be fine." I say, still emotionless. The woman just shakes her head in response.
"Later, we have to get you two to the hotel." She says before walking down a path and the two of us just walk behind her. When we get to the entrance of the city Corma and I notice how big, bright, and loud the city is and I just turn back before heading back towards the forest, but I get stopped by the woman.
"I know it's not your type of place, but you have a mission and the answers are out here." The woman says and I just look at her then the city before going towards it, following the woman. When we arrived at a 5 star hotel the woman makes some reservations while the Corma and I just stand there beside her; waiting. The manager leaves the front desk and leaves us alone in the empty lobby.
"I must be going now. Complete your mission and then meet me at the same cave." The woman says smiling, but I just look at her.
"Okay, bye." I reply and the woman just chuckles.
"I will see you again, Jane." She said just before she exits the hotel. I keep looking at her until she disappears into the shadows of the city.
"Creepy lady." I say in a babyish voice while pointing at her. Corma smiles at this and puts my hand down. I clear my voice and crack a smile. "I'm not lying."
"When have we questioned a freak?" She asks and I just turn my head ever so slightly before answering.
"Never. We welcome them, but that lady is creepy. Even for a freak." I answer which makes Corma smile. The manager of the hotel returns to the front desk with 2 cards in his hands.
"Here are your keys." He says and hands us the keycards to our suite.
"Thank you, sir." Corma says while taking the cards and the two of us head towards the elevator. Once we were inside we wait for the door to open to our floor.
"Sooo, what do you do for fun?" She asks her turning her head towards me, but I keep my eyes straight at the door, currently lost in my thoughts. "Jane?"
"Sorry, zoned out for a second there. I mostly practice with my friends for performances, fix my tent, practice my fire techniques, help Sol and Luna stop Mai and Jack from fighting, or help Darren and Evra with their chores. I don't really have much time to do my own thing between my missions, Crepsley's chores that he gives me, performance training, and the actual performances." I answer Corma while thinking about all my friends back at the cirque.
"Who are your friends?" Corma asks.
"Rebecca, Evra, Darren; he is basically my brother due to Crepsley blooding us, Mai, Jack, Nat, Cheshire, Sol, Luna, and Blak. The eleven of us are like family because we are some of the only teens in the cirque." I answer before getting my act together by shaking my head, clearing it of thoughts of family and looking straight at the elevator door.
"I never see you all together unless it's before, after, or during a performance." She says and holds out her hand to touch my shoulder, but I jerk away from it.
"Sorry, instinct. My quote-unquote dad, told me to never show emotion to anyone, not even freaks like us. Though I only do that with his employees and when he is around. Anyway, to answer your question. We do hang out in each other's tents, but no one sees us hang out outside of the tents." I say while twirling my finger in my hair. I could feel Corma look at me in a confused way.
"Whats wrong with emotion?' Corma asks me.
"He says that emotion equal weakness and weakness equals defeat." I answer and when Corma is just about to ask another question the elevator door opens and I step out before heading to our hotel room door. When we get into the room, I take a quick scan for vampaneze. There was a kitchen, dining room, living room, balcony, a spiral staircase that lead to 2 rooms, and an amazing view of the city. In other words, we got the penthouse. I walked over to the staircase with Corma behind me, I found my bedroom, turned around and said, "Night, Corma. See ya in the morning."
"I guess, I'll see you in the morning, night." Corma said before going in her bedroom and getting ready to go to sleep. I went inside my room and almost stopped breathing. The entire room looked like something out of a fairytale. There was a queen-sized bed in red velvet covers with thin red curtains, a small bathroom, a door that lead to the roof with a pool a.k.a the balcony, a flat screen TV in the wall, a walk-in closet, performance lights mounted in to the ceiling, and one surround sound system with holographic projectors. Slowly, I walked over to the bed, changed into my pjs and climbed into the bed, mummy-style. Still in mummy-style I lay still and close my eyes slowly, thinking about the cirque and my friends that are coming tomorrow to see the start of DC2. We will reunite soon.
As soon as it strikes 1:00 a.m. my eyes snap open and turn towards the door. I got out of the bed, put on my floor-length, black silk robe and walk into the hallway while heading towards Corma's room. Corma was sound asleep in her queen-sized bed and didn't seem to show any sign of waking up. Shaking my head, I walked over to her bed and said, "Corma, wake up."
Corma groans as she wakes up from her deep sleep. She looked up at me and my wide awake expression and asked, "What is it?"
"It's morning." I answer and Corma groans.
"Shouldn't you be sleep?" She asks pulling the cover over her head.
"I don't sleep past 1:00 am. If I do that then I don't finish my chores before sunrise. I-It's instinct now." I answer with a bashful expression.
"Why? Vampires need sleep too, freaks as well." Corma asks and I just look down at her.
"I'd be less of a performer if I didn't practice for the show for as long as I can." I answer before heading over to the couch that was in her room and sitting down on it. Corma sits up slowly while rubbing her eyes with her hands, I waited for Corma to get out of bed and fix her blue nightgown before continuing the conversation. "I have some news. My 'father' told me that during this mission to find a undercover person you need to be undercover yourself, sooo. So we are going to have to go undercover."
Corma just kept on looking at me. She rubs her head as she asks me, "How?"
"I will be going to school." I answer and Corma quickly stands up trying to keep the anger off her face. "Jason is around my age, so he probably stays undercover by going to school. I also have to change well... me."
My fellow freak opens her mouth slightly then closes to stop any yelling can come out from her. She takes a breath before saying, "So lets start with the hair. Do you prefer red or brown?"
"I brought 2 bottles of hair dye and both are brown-ish, but I can't choose. Help." I ask her
"Well, get the bottles and meet me in the guest bathroom. There we will figure out what color, what length and what style" She says before pulling out a small knife and a styling book. I smile and run to my room to get the dyes. Once I got them in my hands, I raced into the guest bathroom where Corma waited.
"Pick your hair cut." She asks while showing me different cuts and I think before answering.
"V-cut." I say while pointing at the center photo.
"Okay." She said before cutting my hair, I always have to get my hair cut due to the fact that it is always growing.
"Nice." I say while stretching the the sss and Corma smiles before picking up the hair dyes,
"Bronze or Light Brown?" Corma asks and I look at the colors carefully before answering.
"Like I said. Can't decide." I answer and Corma smirks before putting the bronze dye in my hair then wrapped it up.
"Trust me you will look beautiful." Corma reassured me before heading back into the living room leaving me in the bathroom by myself. Once Corma closes the door I look at myself in the mirror, touching my type 2 skin face, the towel holding soon to be bronze hair, and looking at my hands.
"I'm not beautiful. I'm not even human." I say under my breath with sadness on my face, after about 30 minutes Corma came in and unwrapped the towel to reveal my almost black, brown hair now faultlessly bronze.
"Now for the style. Do you want to be surprised?" Corma asks and I nod my head. I could see Corma think with the small knife touching her chin a moment before starting on my hair and ends up with my hair parting slightly away from the middle, the right half being pulled back naturally while the left half tried to cover my eye. She smiled at the mirror while holding my shoulders and placing her head on my shoulder.
"What do you think?" Corma asks while fixing my side bang so it would cover the edge of my left eye.
"It's like I'm someone new." I say before smiling at Corma and gave her a quick hug. "Thank you for putting up with me."
"Not putting up with you, if I am treating you like a niece." She said while patting my shoulder. I smiled and walked out of the bathroom with Corma following close behind. Quickly, I made my way to my room and pulled out a gold card that was linked to my dad's bank account. He is loaded thanks to the amount his company, Harmonix, makes.
"Now to the clothing." I announce while waving the card in my hand.
"Shopping. I like how you think." Corma says before taking my hand and heading towards the express elevator and to the hotel's clothing store. When we arrived Corma told me to pick any of the clothes I wanted and so I did. After buying the all of our clothes with my dad's gold card, we headed back up to the suite to try them on.
"Try this on." Corma said while pulling out one of the outfits and handing it to me. I smiled and walked into my room, changed and came out a minute later in a red shirt that said DC2 in different colored fonts, black boot-cut jeans, black converse, and my hair went down my back down with a red headband holding some of it out of my face (minus the bangs). Corma opened her mouth to make a wide smile while her eyes showed happiness. "Amazing."
Her voice was breathy and this made me blush like crazy. She was just about to lay down when I said, "See you after school. Oh, and if anyone asks then I am your niece from my mom's side since no one knows my mom."
"Alright. See you in the afternoon, Jane." Corma said while waving her hand at me as I walked out the door. In the hallway I took a look at the clock on the wall that read 7:30 'School starts at 7:56. I got time.' Quickly I flit down the stairs, all the way to the school and stop just half a block away
"Here it is." I mutter to myself. The school was beautiful, Central City High, and was 2 levels and was really, really wide with beautiful gardens.
"Woah." I said while making another scan of the school. I checked to see if anyone was around before flitting around the area for vampaneze. "Well, nothings stopping me now. Here I go."
I took several deep breaths before heading up the stairs and entering the performing arts school.
I walked into the school to find a whole hallway full of noisy kids trying to talk to each other and teachers trying to control the kids. This made me cover my ears as I headed towards the main office to get my schedule, but when I got there I saw a HUGE line of kids waiting for their turn with the people who worked in the office as well. Trying not to groan, I went to the back of the line, which was pretty quiet, and waited for the first person and waits for the line to move.
When I barely got to the middle of the line, I accidentally bumped into a boy walking by around my age; a little bit taller than me and Korean, he had neon green eyes on his flawlessly handsome face; he was wearing a pink and cyan T-shirt under a maroon tack suit, a yellow backpack hanging down his back, yellow sneakers, and a pair of headphones hanging around his neck. His hair was short gelled hair with a yellow streak on the side.
"Nice outfit." I say, he didn't look at and I was thankful.
"You too." He replied with a smirk, still not looking at me. I rolled my eyes and tried to keep myself from blushing. He glanced at the window while walking by it before we actually made eye contact. The Korean smirked at me and I just rolled my eyes yet again and turned to the front of the line. Out of the corner of my eye I could see him smirk before walking off towards his destination.
After about 5 minutes, I finally reached the front of the line and got my schedule. I headed to my first period which is on the 1st floor; Dance, my favorite, but I also have to depend on it for controlling the flames. Once I left the now empty office, I looked at the long, empty before looking behind me to make sure no one was around, 'No classmates, no teachers, no one. All clear'.
"I love being a freak." I whispered before flitting through the empty hallway to the other side of the school, but when I was only a doors away I stopped and ran regularly the rest of the way. When I turned to enter the classroom, but I bumped into someone. When I looked at the person I bumped into, I found myself looking into bright green eyes.
"Sorry." I apologizes with very little emotion before heading further in the classroom, but I was stopped by Glitch grabbing my arm.
"You can at least tell me your name." He points out while smirking, I turn face him.
"Tell me yours." I reply and just he chuckles. He let go of my arm and held out his left hand.
"I'm Glitch." He introduces himself and I just raised my eyebrows before rolling my eyes.
"Jane." I say before walking into the classroom. Then moment I saw the room, my jaw almost dropped. Mirrors all around, polished hardwood floors, railings for ballet, a full-sized painting of the DC1 competition and 2 changing rooms. I notice Glitch walking up to be next to me, this made me stop gawking and turn to Glitch. "What?"
"What? Don't you like the classroom?" He asks while bumping my hand with his. I tried to no blush and continued walking before a tall man in a leather jacket blocked my path.
"Are you the new student?" He asked. I looked up at him and saw one dark blue eye looking at me while the other was hidden behind navy hair.
"Obilo?" I ask with some shock. Obilo was a freak, I mean it. He can enter paintings and pieces of poetry without trying.
"Jane?"
"You 2 know each other?" Glitch asked while pointing his finger at Obilo and then back at me.
"Yes. Jane was my student at the last performing arts school in Hollywood." Obilo answered before turning to the rest class and head to the front of it, waiting for everyone to get ready. I turned around to see if Glitch was there, but saw no one standing where he was. Still shaking off the fact that he followed me, I turned on my heels and almost fell when I saw Glitch only inches away from my face.
"Hey." He smirks at his handiwork, but I still just roll my eyes. "You know, you actually look cute doing that."
"Grow up." I say and he chuckles.
"Oh, come on. Just loosen up." He said while grabbing my shoulders, but I quickly jerk myself free of his grip.
"Jane, come show the class the extent of your... abilities." Obilo said while trying to find the right word to end his sentence.
"Gladly." I say before walking past Glitch. I turned my head to look over my shoulder and said to him, "You want loose, you got it."
I went to the front of the class, they were by the walls, and started my routine. The song Where Have You Been started mid-way and I took 2 quick steps forward, put my right arm up and left arm to the side while my left foot went out as well and I repeated for my right side. Then I shook my arms while going down then back up, placed my body sideways and placed my right hand behind my head while flicking my left foot to my left hand. Turned to face the back placed my forearms in front of my face, pulled them apart with my eyes following my right arm, brought them back together, and posed with my hands at the side of my head. Flicked my left hand to the side in a dusting motion, snaked my body with my hands following down to my hips, dropped halfway, snaked my body back up, placed my right hand over my right ear and shook my head to the side. After that, I repeated the flicking my left foot, as well as the forearms move, posed with my hands on the side of my head again, put my left forearm on the top of my head while my right arm went up from my waist with the forearm bent.
My eyes were closed at this point and all the moves were now instinct instead of remembering old lessons. Sway hips from left to right, drop down, back up, swing my arm rodeo style, left foot out while my right arm went over my head, left foot back while left arm pointed forward, cross my left foot over my right with my right hand bent and the left one making it seem as if its pulling my foot with strings. Once my foot was behind my right, I moved my forearms from left to right quickly, bringing my body up, put both my feet out in a straddle, bent my knees, took 2 quick steps forward while my arms hugged my chest, 2 more steps forward while my arms went back down to my side, brought my feet together while my went up and then slowly back down.
I took 2 steps forward with my right arm pulled in and the left put out on one step and repeated for the other step, but with my other arm. Put both my arms up with my legs apart and bent, put both hands facing forward, put my left hand crossing over my chest palm down, did the same for my right and again with the left, but this time I made it seem as if I was holding something and pulled my arm back with every hit of the drum while bringing my feet together. I quickly put my hands forward, made a grabbing motion, pulled them back while putting one knee over the other, bending all the way down, whipped my head, and snaked my body back up.
The music picked up quickly and became fast, yet so did my moves. I made a quick spin, waved my left arm like I was holding a lasso, pulled it back down at the same time I brought my legs together, put my hands forward in a stop gesture, turned my body 90 degrees, pushed my hands forward and back, faced forward, made a gesture like I was putting on a hood while bending down to kneel, put my hands a few inches from my head and had the palms face me, put my left foot out with my left hand following it and making a stop gesture, brought it back in and repeated for my right side. Bent forward, went up, clapped my hands by my right hip then extended them out to the right and clapped again, then repeated for my left side, shook my hips to the beat while bringing my hands over my head, crossed my arms again over my head, pulled them back down while I brought my feet together, did 4 poses, put my hands my hands in front of my with my palms down, straddled my legs while bending a little, walked forward slowly, while doing quick jerks with my legs, jumped, bent down, went back up, andplaced my right hand on my quad while the left was on my head as it made a quick whip.
When my routine ended I pretended to be a little tired when in truth I was barely tired. Everyone clapped at my performances while I got the bottle of water that Obilo handed me. He patted my shoulders, went back to the front of the class and said, "Everyone, start warming up while I talk to Jane for a minute."
Everyone nodded before starting simultaneous dance warm-ups while Obilo walked over to me. I looked up at him and said, "The routine of '09. I remember that you taught it to me due to my uniqueness."
"I remember too. You have improved since last time I saw you." He said while taking a quick look around. When he made sure that the students were too focused on dancing to listen, he bent down and whispered, "What are you doing here?"
"Vampaneze Lord. His son. In this school. Not good." I said in several hushed whispers just in case anyone tried to hear. Obilo nodded then tapped my hand twice. This made me open my hand before he put in a small envelope that read, 'To my young protégé, Jane.' I opened it and saw a small blood vial necklace, a weapon and a tool, thank you Obilo. Before joining the class, I put on the necklace and stuffed the note in my pocket.
When 4 of my classes was over, I went to lunch. It was kind of packed when I got my tray with milk, fruit, and a burger. There were several tables and all were filled within seconds, 'Just like Blak on TB's taco Tuesday.' I was about to go sit outside when someone tried to sneak up on me, but I threw my tray up; kicked my foot behind me, twisted my body to face the person, and caught my still neat tray. Turns out Glitch caught my foot the moment it was about to hit his chest. Instead of forcing my foot out of his grip, I asked, "May I have my foot back?"
"Sure." He let go while I brought my leg down slowly. Glitch kept standing there with his eyes still trained on me.
"What do you want?" I asked while walking away. Glitch appeared next to me and kept up easily with my fast pace.
"My friends have 2 open seats at their table. Come join us." Glitch offered with his 5 star smile, but I didn't even roll my eyes. "Please, I am trying to be nice for once."
"Fine. Only because my friends are coming tomorrow and they expect to see something other than DC2." I answer. This makes him smirk before grabbing my arm and pulling me towards the tables further towards the center of the cafe, after a few twists, turns, and dodging of the occasional piece food we make it to his friends' table. Turns out Glitch is one of those student who you can't tell who is their friend and who is friends with his friend and not his friend. There was one African-American man possibly 16, woman possibly 16 1/2, and girl who was about my age, one Caucasian man maybe 16, one Latino might be 16, one Ginger definite 16, and one girl woman who's ethnicity was undefinable, but was still 16. "Hi."
"Aye, yo, Glitch. Dis yo girlfriend?" The African-American man asked.
"No, Mo. She's not my girlfriend. Jane here, is a new student." Glitch answered and Mo just shook his head with a smile that reminded me of Cheshire and her never ending disappearance acts. "Jane, the guy with the hood covering his eyes is Mo, my best friend. The 2 girls with green and yellow clothes are Taye and her little sister, Lil' T. Guy in the puffer vest is Bodie, he is a lifeguard along with Emilia, the really tall girl with green eyes and brown hair. The Latin ladies' man is Angel and the girl with ginger hair is Aubrey."
"Cool. Well, nice to mee..." I start to say, but I got cut off by my phone ringing. I balanced my tray in one hand, reached for my phone in the other, and answered, "Yolo."
Snickers went around the table when I said Yolo instead of hello. A distinct whistle came through the phone and almost blasted my ear. I pulled the phone away before saying, "Nat, stop. I can hear you, but if you keep doing that every time I say Yolo then I will be deaf."
"Sorry, but do you know where you last saw Blak's treadmill?" She asked in a quieter voice.
"I think he broke that one." I said while taking the seat that Lil' T held out for me. I nodded and mouthed out Thank You while continuing the call.
"Oh, well thanks and hey tell Corma that we found out who pulled her hand off the other night when she was asleep." Nat said while getting ready to hang up.
"Okay and see you tomorrow." I said before hanging up. Lil' T looked at me skeptically before I asked, "Need something, T?"
"You look familiar." She said while cocking her head to the side.
"Yeah, I think I have seen you somewhere in a party once. Though that is impossible because all the parties I go to are at..." She suddenly stopped before looking at me with wide eyes. "Your Jane Hudson, of course I've seen you perform at the parties that my dad throws. Your dancing could use some work, but anyhow your father is a multi-billionaire while your family rivals mine."
"He's not my dad, anymore. Sure he gives me the family gold card, family name, and the monthly allowance, but that man doesn't treat me like a daughter. So now I live with my aunt and far away from the old bag." I said while stabbing some of my fruit. Then I shook my head really hard and changed the subject, "Oh, and you should know that the routine that I did in the party was a last minute one because some wise guy decided it would taste good with punch. No way I drank that punch because there was now way I would like the taste of Wild Polycarbonate Blast. Too bad though, I saw you drink some."
"You little..." She started.
"Que? Bruja? Diablo? Demonio? I can list quiet a few things." I said while popping a piece of fruit into my mouth. Angel seemed impressed at how fluent I am in Spanish.
"Okay, I suggest we stop now before a fight breaks out." Emilia said. She looked at my shirt and said, "You getting ready for DC2? Have a crew?"
"Yes and no. My friends are coming over to see the competition and if by dance crew then no, I don't have or am a part of one. I am part of performance back in my half-brother's hometown along with my 7 friends. We love freaking people out." I said remembering when Jack went full on jackal on the crowd and when Cheshire made Steve Leonard pee his pants by disappearing and reappearing behind him. Before I knew it a smile crept on to my mouth and now I could wipe it away or stop these words, "The 9 of us are like a family of freaks."
"Freaks? Why freaks?" Mo asked while fixing his hood
"You don't know the people I hang out with, they are freaky and so am I." I answered. "Oh, and before you make any assumptions about me not being a freak. Then wait a week before my freakiness kicks in."
"Hey guys, I really have to go. Obilo wanted to ask me something, so cya." Glitch said before sprinting off towards Obilo's classroom, I looked at him and the direction he ran in before turning towards the rest of the table and started to flick pieces of fruit into my mouth with only 2 of my fingers. The rest of us kept talking about DC2 and who might win.
Glitch's POV
I slowed down when I was on the roof and out of Jane's sight before pulling out my iPhone. Scrolling through the contacts I kept looking for a specific one. When I found it, I pressed it and wait for the person to answer.
"Yes, Jason." My dad answered while I made sure that no one was on the ground level as I jumped down.
"I think we found her." I said while smirking and walking around the school. Even though I like to be a vampaneze, especially the Lord of the Vampaneze's son, sometimes I wish that my eyes didn't change color when I smelled blood, my dad would approve of my friends, or I wouldn't have to kill people just to feed. This only started to happen when I did research on Jane Hudson, she was a half-vampire who could control fire. She has dark brown, almost black hair, light brown eyes, and what I just recently found out about her is that she has a beautiful smile, a warmness about her eyes when she's happy, when she dances then the world disappears around her, and she has a great sense of style. I walked to Obilo's classroom and saw that he wasn't there, so I asked my dad, "Do we really have to kill her?"
"YESSSSS! Jane Hudson poses a threat to the vampaneze along with Darren Shan, but that boy has been ordered to be left alone from Desmond Tiny. It is your mission to find Jane Hudson and kill her. Understand?" He said while emphasizing most of his words. My head dropped while I clenched my jaw.
"Yes, father. I get Jane Hudson to trust me then I kill her, that way there is only one threat to the vampaneze. I will not fail you." I said in a voice that meant that this conversation is over.
"Good." Was all my dad said before hanging up. I stuffed the iPhone back in my pocket and walked back to the cafe, hoping that Jane doesn't have to be killed, she's too nice.
Third Person POV
Obilo walked out of the painting he was in to see Glitch walking out of his classroom. He overheard Glitch's conversation with his father and tried not to laugh. No one at the school knew that he was a freak and he wanted it that way. If it was his choice then he would teach art, but he would get caught up in the work itself and walk into it. Obilo was about to walk over and stop Glitch, but knew that he would make the right choice. He always did, Glitch never did anything wrong and he never will. When the time comes, Glitch will make his choice and maybe see that non of the vampires are evil.
Jane's POV
I walked towards the hotel after school was over and after I talked to Obilo. Once I got there I found Corma with a tied up vampanze.
"Where did you find that?" I asked Corma. She turned towards me with her warm smile.
"I found him by a lake, he is injured and I was able to get him with only 3 fingers get pulled off." Corma answered as I examined the red-skinned, black-haired, and male vampanze.
"Where is the Lord of Vampanze?" I command rather than ask and the vampanze just shrugs his shoulders. This made me get angry on the inside, but I don't show it. I lift vampanze up with some of my strength that now its feet is off the ground. Without taking a second thought I slammed his head against my own, titanium head plating ever since I was a baby, and ask him again, "Where is he?"
His response was just chuckles. I rolled my eyes before making a flame appear in my hand. Currently this creature was in my home and it already ripped off some of Corma's fingers.
"Like I'll tell you where he is." The vampaneze says. I guess that he needs is some convincing so I put out the flame before pulling out a small bottle of blood from my pocket and put it to his nose. Once he takes a good whiff the blood, his eyes start turning color. Before taking back the bottle, I whisper a few words and suddenly the vampanze's eyes go black.
"Tell me about the Lord of Vampanze." I command again and he takes in a breath before answering.
"He is lord of us, vampanze, he is very strong and works along side his son Jason. His son, Jason, is undercover for Jane Hudson, he is assigned to kill her. Jason can only can kill her after he has her soul. The Lord of Vampanze's name is-." He starts, but was interrupted when all the lights went out and a crashing sound comes from the window. A shard of glass ends up in my thigh, but no blood comes out.
"Corma, get to your room quickly and stay in there until I give the all clear." I say before lighting my fingers with fire and surrounding them.
"Be careful." Corma says before picking up her knife and walking to her room. I put out the flames and used my enhanced sight to see the see 3 vampanze coming and one of them has captured, the injured one, the 1 vampanze with the injured vampanze jump out the window leaving myself and the other 2 vampaneze alone.
"Your lucky someone else was assigned to kill you." One of the vampanze said before leaving with the 2nd vampanze following behind.
"Be grateful that I'm letting you live." I say before taking out the shard and running to Corma's room. "All clear."
"Good. Are you alright?" Corma says while walking out of the room and into the hallway. I cross my arms before giving her a hug and saying, "I'm fine, but I'm worried about my friends."
"They can fight, I've seen it. Your friends are going to be fine." Corma said while taking my shoulders. "Now get some rest."
"Right. They'll be here tomorrow and everything will be alright." I said while walking to my room.
Nat's POV
"EVERYTHING'S NOT ALRIGHT!" Blak yelled. He was sitting on his broken treadmill. We were all under Blak's tent and while the cirque tries to fix themselves, we were trying to figure out what exactly happened.
"There hasn't been an attack since last month and just now the stupid vampaneze try to attack again." Sol and Luna said together. They were sitting over Jane's spare coffin that we hid down here just in case.
"Chill, everyone, we will find a way out of this situation. In the mean time let's go back up, get our stuff together, and head over to Central C. Okay?" I said while standing up. Normally I like to lead sometimes, but now I regret it. She has to keep Mai and Jack from fighting, Cheshire from killing Blak, and stop Sol and Luna from pointing out every single fact. Now I wish she was here, big time.
Everyone got up, left our hideout, and got ready to head to Central C, my hometown.
Jane's POV
I sat on the edge of the roof balcony that over looked the city with my legs hanging over the edge, thinking. Everyone told me that I could do amazing things as a kid and now I can control both fire and water. Dad said that my abilities would progress to all the elements every year until I got all five at my command. Now, the only thing I want to know is why Jason and his father want my soul.
"Why?" I ask quietly to myself. I was so deep in my thoughts that I didn't even notice Glitch walk up to me until he was siting next to me.
"Hey, Jane, what's up?" He asked.
"Who... My aunt let you in didn't she?" I ask while keeping my eyes trained on the city.
"Yeah, I was walking by when I heard a crash come from the building. I asked the manager who lived up here and that was when I got your name and address. You all right?" Glitch said while putting his hand on my newly bandaged thigh. My instincts kicked in and I sucked in a deep breath before lifting his hand and put it on his.
"Shaken up and a little pain in my leg." I say while touching my bandages.
"May I?" He asks me and I shake my head. I would've left the wound alone until I went to bed that way no one would get suspicious. "It might be infected."
"Alright." I answer while looking at my wound and not at him. Glitch unwraps the bandage while I clench my jaw to keep from screaming in both anger and pain. Once he takes away the bandaged, we could see that my wound was a little bit open and was bleeding. He furrowed his eyebrows before running inside, then coming back out with a towel and a bowl, he scoops some water from the pool and places the towel in the bowl. I realize that he is going to clean the wound and the wound was in my thigh. "Let me."
"No, just stay still or else the wound will open up even more and then you will bleed to death." He said in a calm voice. I nodded my head and leaned against my elbows to let him clean the wound. Just when he starts leaning over to me, I feel my blood leaving my head.
"Woah." I say while putting my hand on my head before I pass out. "Might want to hurry and bandage it. Feeling a bit dizzy."
"I have that effect on girls." Glitch says while pulling out the new gauze and started to wrap my thigh. Even though the wound is covered, I still feel dizzy. "Can you walk?"
"Maybe, but I don't that my dizzy head would let me walk in a straight line. I would end up looking like I'm sleep-walking due to how much blood I lost." I said while holding my head. He presses his lips together before kneeling down and holding his hands out.
"Then let me carry you to bed." Glitch said while putting one hand behind my shoulders.
"You're crazier than anything if you think I'm going to let you carry me to bed. I won't let some cut and a little blood stop me." I answer while trying to push myself to my feet. When I got my left foot under me and pushed up to stand, I almost fell off the side of the building if Glitch wasn't holding my hand. He pulled me into his embrace and said, "Now who's crazy?"
He put one of his arms behind my knees, pushed that arm forward, and lifted me up bridal style. Glitch carried me over to my bed and on the way he kept talking about DC2, "So, Mo and I are looking for 2 more people to dance on our crew."
"Asked Obilo yet?" I asked thinking about how Obilo was able to end up moving like a robot while dancing.
"Nope, they say that no performing arts school teachers are allowed to enter. Oh, and my friends were wondering if you wanted to come to the tryouts for each team." He said while looking down at me.
"I'll think about it because I still have friends coming over." I said hoping that I wouldn't have to show them the tryouts.
"Okay, then can I at least get your number?" Glitch asked while putting me in my bed and I rolled my eyes before shaking my head.
"Go home." I said before turning my head away. This makes Glitch chuckle before giving me a piece of paper.
"Okay, you got me. What is this?" I asked while looking at the piece of paper in my hand.
"You'll see. Well, I'm going to go, get better soon." He said before giving me a peck on the cheek. This caught me off guard, I sent a fist at Glitch's stomach, but he took it in his hand and kissed my hand.
"Get better." Glitch repeated while dropping my hand and walking out of the room. Blood started to rush to my cheeks the moment the door closed. I looked at the piece of paper and saw that it was Glitch's number, I immediately copy the number on my iPhone before sitting up and sealing the wound.
I kept holding my hand, trying to keep the feeling of his lips off it, but so far it seemed pretty impossible. After a few minutes of walking around my room to get the feeling back in my leg, I change into my black, silk nightgown and get into bed in my favorite style of sleeping, mummy-style, before closing my eyes and sleeping ever so lightly until 1:00 a.m. struck.
Please review plus I do not own Cirque Du Freak or Dance Central I only own Jane, Nat, Cheshire, Sol, Luna, Blak, Mai and Jack. Plus, remember this is my seventh try and time writing crossovers. PLEASE DON'T SEND AN ANGRY MOB AFTER ME and I'll be back with another one... real soon.
