I do not own Cirque Du Freak
Here's Vampire's Secret.
I watched as Darren came on the balcony, he looked around as if he was checking to see if anyone was watching him. Well, wasn't he about to be in for a surprise. I watched as Steve walked on to the stage that we just previously performed on just recently. He looked rather nervous, then Mr. Crepsley walked on, it seemed Steve was looking for him.
I scooted over from my hiding spot to just behind and next to Darren as quietly as possible. I silently laughed as Steve almost jumped out of his skin. I thought I ought to make my presence known to Darren, and I whispered to him "Hey" He jumped, and gone pale quickly whispering about how he was looking for something and that he was definitely NOT eavesdropping on the conversation going below.
I laughed quietly and said quietly "1, you are too eavesdropping. 2, you aren't in trouble. And lastly, I'm supposed to be in bed so you aren't the only one who isn't supposed to be here. Anyways, I'm Samantha. Though everyone calls me Sam." He nodded and stuck out his hand and introduced himself "Darren" I quickly shook his hand and turned my attention back to the conversation below.
Steve was stuttering "I know who you are" He was clearly scared of Mr. Crepsley. It was clear Mr. Crepsley knew exactly what Steve meant and was just toying with him, and said "I am Larten Crepsley"
"No, I know who you really are."
"Oh? Tell me, little boy. Who am I, really?" Sneered Mr. Crepsley, I knew definitely he wasn't happy.
"Your real name is Vur Horston." Mr. Crepsley's jaw dropped in astonishment. And then Steve let the biggest bomb drop, "You're a Vampire!" There was just silence that followed, I knew Darren had no clue as his jaw dropped when Steve let loose Mr. Crepsley's secret.
Mr. Crepsley just smiled as he suspected Steve was working for someone. But when Steve revealed he wasn't working for anyone, Mr. Crepsley frowned. I knew he didn't like just about anyone knowing his little secret.
I laughed as Mr. Crepsley snarled about children once again, he complained too much about them.
But when Steve revealed that he wanted to join Mr. Crepsley in vampirism, I had to grab Darren before he fell off the balcony. I sharply whispered to Darren "Careful!" We rapidly turned our attentions to the conversation, Steve was just revealing he wanted to become a vampire assistant, my eyebrows rose and my eyes widen. I snorted when Steve said he wanted to become a vampire more than caring about his friends. I already knew Mr. Crepsley's answer just as he was testing Steve's blood. I knew it would be negative and not just because I'm a seer, I knew that Steve was evil inside. And just I thought Mr. Crepsley started coughing and shouted "You have bad blood! You are evil! I can taste the menace in your blood. You are savage." Steve shouted that it was a lie, and jumped from the stage saying he'd be back to kill Mr. Crepsley and ran out laughing like a crazy person, like a mad scientist.
Then he was gone, and I heard Mr. Crepsley say "Sam, I know you are up in that balcony! Go to bed!" He never said anything about Darren, I got up and nodded. Mr. Crepsley complained once again bout children before leaving. I waited to be sure he was completely gone and escorted Darren out without anyone spotting him.
I ran out to mine and Evra's van, jumping in the back. He looked at me and said "So did you accomplish what you had to?" I nodded and went behind my curtain to change into suitable pajamas. Shorts and a tank-top, since we had to keep our van hot, since both Evra and his snake didn't like the cold. I climbed into my hammock and looked over to Evra, and said "It's begun, we'll soon have ourselves a new tent mate." He smiled and said "I'll miss when it was just us." I smiled back and just said "Me too, let's just enjoy this alone time while we can" He nodded and turned out the lights, we were about to fall asleep and I said into the darkness "Night Ev" He replied "Night Sammi" And we succumbed to the night.
We awoke and did our daily chores and then shows. Evra did the dirty work most of the time and I just helped cook and clean. We would work on the wolf-man together, oddly it seemed out of everyone wolf-man preferred me to do most of the handling when he wasn't hypnotized, it seemed he liked me best. After all he just kind of did a wolfish smile whenever I came around and just growled at everyone else like usual.
We went through our daily routines till one day, it was a Tuesday I believe as it was our last show in the old theatre before we moved on. We got up around 9am, and I went to go check on Madam Octa and the wolf-man. But not before I had my special breakfast that would make me happy. I wasn't a morning person at all, Evra had to almost man-handle me to get me out of bed. Anyways back to what I was doing that morning, I went in to Mr. Crepsley's room and searched for the cage. Madam Octa was GONE! I picked up the note on Mr. Crepsley's coffin, I knew I shouldn't of read it because it was addressed to Mr. Crepsley. But like everyone says, I'm a teen and I have a boat load of curiosity, so of course I read the note.
Mr Crepsley,
I know who and what you are. I have taken Madam Octa and am keeping her. Do not come looking for her. Do not come back to this town. If you do, I will tell everyone that you are a vampire and you will be hunted down and killed I am not Steve. Steve knows nothing about this I will take good care of the spider.
And it was not signed, obviously no one would unless they were completely and utterly idiotic. I put the note back, Mr. Crepsley would not be happy when he woke from his slumber. I ran back upstairs and continued on like normal till there was a yell when it was nightfall. A signal that the sleeping vampire was awake and had discovered the note and missing cage. I ran down, and he just told me to go and search the place top and bottom. Which of course I did, and still no spider. He just looked at Mr. Tall, and from my point of view was having a telepathic communication. They both nodded and Mr. Crepsley just left, not to be seen for weeks.
We moved on and then one day or rather night. Mr. Crepsley walked up the drive and into camp with the one and only Darren at his side just before dawn.
I was asleep for all of that, but I knew it would happen from the images I got a few days ago. And the fact, Darren was trapped by Evra's sleepcrawling snake when Evra woke up. The snake is a great source for a burglary alarm even if she did nothing.
With that, right after they got Darren untangled from Evra's snake, Evra begun his nasty task of waking me. He had told Darren to stand back, only a few can awake me from sleep and barely be harmed. He shook my shoulder and I swung my arm hoping to smack him, which he avoided.
Did I ever tell you, that the very first few days that he begun the task of waking me he kept being hit till he learned that I always did it and just to avoid it. Anyways, getting kind of off topic yet again.
But he avoided my swing and just did a little trick that swung the hammock and made me fall out onto the ground. I got up, glared at him and got back into bed. Of course, I never learn. He shook his head and just grabbed me around the waist and fireman carried me out of the tent with me kicking and screaming.
Which never got attention besides from Darren who looked on with wide eyes. Which of course anyone who had never seen this before, would of thought Evra was kidnapping me and planning to murder me.
He set me down by the fire and next to Truska, who smirked at me. One lady, Martha, brought over my special breakfast. Today's breakfast for moi, was Cinnamon Oatmeal. I drove right into the oatmeal, and basically completely woke up. Everyone else use coffee to wake them up, for me its cinnamon. That's why it's my special breakfast. No one messes with it, and everyone else got whatever was being cooked.
I yelled out my thanks to Martha, who just shouted back "No problem honey, at least it prevents you from blowing up the camp" Darren laughed, and everyone looked at him oddly. I've done it many times before, and it was Martha who had figured the trick with the cinnamon which prevented my blow-up.
Evra referenced him and I when he explained about how we were the language nerds. We just soaked them up, and so far Evra and I were the only ones who could understand Truska. Though I'll proudly admit, I know more then Evra! Whenever we perform in a foriegn country, instead of Mr. Tall being the host. It is usually me, as I can speak almost all the languages in the world.
And with that we separated for our chores, Evra taking Darren with him. I could tell in the wind as we departed, something was about to happen. Something bad...
