"What do you think about Cirque Du freak? " Mr. Crepsley asked me.
"Cirque Du Freak? " I frowned, then muttered. "I don't know... what if i don't like it there?"
"Then we leave. " He said simply.
"OK"
Hibernius had his whole day gloomy, he never cares to see the future, because he hate to had this gift, terrible gift. All the time turned evil, by the 'order' or Desmond Tiny, His father. But he can't help to see some, he wanted to know his fellow friend's fate, he can't help. He's holding some notebooks, - Darren's diary - which was a part to wreck Desmond tiny's plan, He Staring at the book sadly, wonder when he can pass the books to the human Darren, He opened the book, read the first few pages, all about Darren's normal life, arcade, comics, TVs, family. Then came the knocking on the door of his van. He quicky keep the books and hide them, fetch for the door.
"Hibernius! " Mr.Crepsley shooks Mr.Tall's hand. Hibernius? Hibernius Tall? Wierd, but suit him.
Mr.Tall shook back his hand, smiled briefly "Larten, pleasant to had you back again, we are short of performers right now. Run into trouble again ?"
"no..Shan was not happy, Maybe she can make friends of her own kind here.. Mr.Crepsley said.
"Shan? She? Her?" his face brightened, then dimmed.
"Annie Shan " Mr.Crepsley tell Mr.Tall.
"Annie Shan? " Mr.Tall nodded slowly. " Where's she ? "
And Mr.Crepsley tell me to come in, and Mr. Tall look to where I was shaking.
"Can we have a moment, Larten? "Mr.Tall said.
"My pleasure, Hibernius " Then he leave me alone with Mr. Tall.
Mr.Tall look at me, study me curiously, he say nothing, i say nothing, for awhile. But then Mr.Tall opened his mouth - still, hardly moving - at last.
"You know Darren Shan? "He asked me.
"Yes, he's my brother, " I said, not surprise he know him, Darren had came to cirque Du Freak before. "Why? "
Mr.Tall chuckled. " he's a poor kid.. "
I frowned " then why you ask me about him? "
"to know, when he hit his 16? " Mr.Tall asked me.
"5 years later, why?" I said coldly.
Mr.tall nodded " Just for further information. Come, annie, i'll show you where's your hammock, you'll with Evra. You collegue in blood " - mean Mr.Crepsley - "had known. "
"Who's Evra" I asked,
"you'll know " He smiled, then lead me there.
I met Evra Von, he's a snake boy, slightly older than me. He has scaly skin and long green hair. We became best friends, and do out chores together. I also help him to milk his snake every morning. After milking his snake, we came into Blue hooded peoples.
"Who are they? " I asked Evra.
"Little person, it's wierd they didn't come when you arrived. " Evra said.
Then appeared a thirteenth. Which was rather different, slightly taller, but no more taller, He's a plump and pudgy man, with pure white hair, thick glasses, shabby yellow suit and pair of green wellies. his left hand was toying with a red hearted watch. He smiled and waved friendly at us, i smiled sweetly back, then turn to Evra to ask who was him. But i saw Evra was frozen stiff there.
I sensed it, it's fear.
"who was him? " I asked him.
"Mr.Tiny" He said, shaking. " The leader of Little Person"
"so? " I asked.
We head back to our tent, then i asked Evra about Mr.Tiny.
"He is Desmond Tiny " Evra said, once he had calmed down, " He called everyone to call him Des. "
"so what? "i laughed.
"This is no laughing matter! "He snapped at me. " and his last name was Tiny,"He looked at me seriously " If you combine his first Des and last Tiny. "
"Des Tiny." i said. " DesTiny? So who...Destiny! "
Evra nodded glumly, "destiny "
"just a name, nothing to fear of. "I snorted .
" If you say so, " Evra shrugged . " If you talked with him, you'll know. "
Then come hand hans.
"Evra, Annie " Hans said gloomy.
"Wassup, hans? " Evra greeted.
"You have visitor, " Hans said. " Mr. Tiny"
Then Evra turned pale. Sit frozen there. " Mr.. tuh.. tiny... ? "
