Chapter 1 - Bad Reputation
For days now Mr Crepsley had been acting strange. He was distant and quiet; Darren had noticed this but had tried not to pursue the matter. That is until one day whilst preparing for the show Mr Crepsley stopped abruptly and sighed
"I should probably warn you . . ." he murmured more to himself than Darren "My daughters are going to live here at the cirque; I expect they will arrive next week"
Darren was fairly confused, not only by the fact that Mr Crepsley actually had children - although he did find it strange - but mostly because he was unsure as to why he had to be warned. Was it something to do with him or was something wrong with them? All in all he was quite curious to meet them; all he had to do was wait one week.
That night however when Darren was walking back to his tent to tell Evra the strange information he had learned, when he was suddenly knocked off his feet by two strange girls. One tall with dark hair spiralling down her back, the other slightly smaller with straight choppy hair barely reaching her shoulders. Their features were fairly similar but the most obvious similarity was their startlingly blue eyes which were, at the moment, staring up at him.
"Your Darren aren't you?" the curly haired girl asked whilst the other giggled but before he could answer the other girl spoke "It has to be him, he looks exactly like dad said!"
It was at this moment that Mr Crepsley walked past although strangely he seemed just as confused as Darren was.
"Well it seems you have met my daughters" he said indicating to the two girls, "Lily and Lorelai" he said pointing at the two girls individually as they waved excitedly.
"Although" he continued "if I remember correctly you were not supposed to arrive for another week"
There was silence for a few moments before the curly haired girl spoke
"Well we would have arrived then but . . . We broke EVERYTHING so everyone thought it would be best if we left . . . Very quickly"
"Lily you really are impossible!" Mr Crepsley replied "Anyway, you two will be sharing the tent next to Darren and Evra" he continued before turning back to Darren and saying "show them where it is" before walking away.
The three walked to the tent in silence mostly because the girls were fascinated by their surroundings but also because Darren was strangely shy around them. They reached the tent and Darren muttered "Well this is it, if you need anything I'll be next door" and with that he gave a small smile before walking towards his own tent.
