Hello and welcome to my first fanfiction I hope that all of you like it.

Disclaimer: I Do Not Own The Cirque Du Freak Series or Characters just the ones that I made.

Chapter 1

I love traveling, especially with my family. Because no matter how different the surroundings get there are always familiar faces around you, but I can't really speak my feelings to anyone because I can't talk at all. I do manage to get my point across by either writing in notepads or using my talents to my advantage, I have a language all my own so not speaking doesn't really bother me.

Although truth be told I'm not the only one in my family with talents, like Truska can grow a beard anytime she wants, Gertha Teeth has impenetrable teeth, and Hans Hands can run faster and longer than anyone on, yep you guessed it his hands, but they aren't the only ones with talents because I live in a traveling freak show, The Cirque du Freak.

I was sitting alone on the steps of the old theater that the Cirque was performing in this week, when the large double doors behind me opened and a familiar voice sounded. "Hey what're you doing out here all by yourself?" I turned around to face my friend than shrugged my shoulders. He stared at me for a few seconds than tossed something over to me that landed next to my foot on the steps. I picked up my small notebook and looked at him.

"Well I thought you would want it back."

I stared at him disbelief plastered on my face, I thought my notebook had been forgotten in a town a while ago, but he had it this whole time.I opened up my notebook to the first blank page and wrote down a message and showed him, he read it aloud in the best girls voice he could come up with.

"Shouldn't you be inside hiding from the world?" When he finished reading it he shrugged "What is my face to beautiful for the world?" I looked at him than at my arm, as brightly colored scales started digging their way out of my now maroon skin. I held out my arm for my friend to see and pointed to the newly sprouted scales, only for him to roll his eyes.

I watched as he turned and opened the doors to go inside, but he stopped midway and turned towards me "well you coming or what?" he said. I started writing down another message, but he must have guessed what I was writing because he answered the unwritten question. "Well you have to hide now to," I stared at him blankly "because of your scales."

I looked down at my arm and showed it to him to prove him wrong as the scales burrowed their way back into my skin. Than as if to prove how much Destiny was against me, Mr. Tall's voice echoed through the theater.

"Evra, Mia you are both needed inside to assist in setting up." Evra and I looked at each other, as he held the door open saying. "Ladies first." I looked at him making sure he saw me roll my eyes.

Stepping into the old theater was like stepping into a large building shaped freezer, I couldn't help but feel bad for Evra, being cold blooded the way that he was. So on our way through the halls I allowed scales to dig through my skin just like before when we were outside, only this time I allowed them to cover not only my arm but my entire body, then to bring it further I changed my eyes to those of a snakes.

I was behind Evra during the transformation so he didn't witness the change. I tapped him on the shoulder to catch his attention, once he turned he instantly started laughing. "What's with the change?" I just shrugged my shoulders to show that I didn't know why I did it, and that the conversation was done.

We made a quick turn left and saw Mr. Tall the Cirque Manager towering over us, looking at us with his coal black eyes. "Well I'm glad you could join us you two." We both knew that he was whispering but we could hear him as if he were talking to us at a normal volume.

Evra asked what was on both of our minds "So what are we supposed to do?" Mr. Tall looked down at us "Your usual jobs and you are to help with the set up for the oncoming shows." He then turned to me and spoke again. "Mia when your duties are done and Mr. Crepsley wakes up you are to go to town and pass out flyers with his help, as usual."

I nodded and pulled Evra behind me to get started on our duties. By the time Evra and I were done with our duties it was around nine at night and Mr. Crepsley was just waking up.

I was waiting outside in my original form once again. I had the markings that trailed around my torso, my arms, and my legs somewhat showing, I also had a tail that was now freely swishing back and forth through the air, most of the time it was wrapped around my torso so that it wouldn't get stepped on. Over my loose fitting clothes I wore a sweatshirt two sizes to large so that I wouldn't get too cold, and sitting on the stairs was my satchel full of the flyers that I would be passing out tonight.

Mr. Crepsley with his crop of bright orange hair stepped out of the theater and looked around till he spotted me pulling my flyer filled satchel over my shoulder. "Shall we split up tonight or stick together." Mr. Crepsley started the night like he usually did and as usual I flipped through my notepad and found the same answer. He looked at it and smiled which still surprises me because seeing Mr. Crepsley smile is a very rare occurrence, "As you wish" he said "but we shall split up once we reach town." I nodded my head and we started off for our usual nightly job.
