I've been travelling for a few weeks and the dog, which was called Marley, was doing fine. The dog food I grabbed was gone in a few days so I used a few ponds to buy some more. I also found out why Desmond had given me the gloves. It had been snowing yet I didn't feel the cold and when someone had come to help me up because I was living on the street I tried to wave them away but ended up making ice stakes on the ground, I had ice powers. I put on the gloves and they helped. But I was scared that I could hurt someone. After A few days I had realised a change in my appearance, I now had snow white hair but it used to be brown and Ice blue eyes, which went white when I was angry or sad, that also used to be brown.
After I didn't think I could be alone anymore I came across an old abandoned theatre and went inside for shelter but instead I found an incredibly tall man who I knew as Hibernius Tall, I only knew this because of the books I had read. He invited me to see his 'show' and I agreed.
The show was all kind of amazing but I loved the snake-boy's act because I love animals and it was fascinating, the snake boy was called Evra and he was covered in scales, green, yellow hair and had eyes matching those of a snakes, he had a pet snake as well. After the show had ended I went back stage and found Mr. Tall, I asked him "Can I come with you?" He replied with no emotion "No, we do not allow children." That was the point where I broke, I screamed at the top of my lungs "But I have no family, nowhere to go, no shelter, and no food! Please let me come," I was on the verge of tears when it started snowing backstage, inside!"He looked up and saw snow, he looked back down at me and said "Do you know why it's snowing?" I nodded my head and looked at the ground sheepishly "I'm sorry, I got angry, I can't control it," I mumbled as a tear slid down my face and hit the floor. He put his hand under my chin, lifted my head up and said "You may join." He smiled at me but it wasn't very comforting because his mouth was filled with yellow and brown teeth. We walked out of the theatre but when we were near the exit I stopped and said to him "You won't tell anyone about my 'talent' will you?" he smiled and replied "You way tell who you want but your secret is safe with me,"
I turned and faced Marley "You hear that boy, we have a home." He whimpered and cuddled up to me and we went to go meet my new family.
We came to a big open field and there were row upon row of tents. Mr. Tall, I and Marley walked in and everyone abruptly stopped what they were doing and looked at me. Marley hid behind my legs, he didn't like being around a lot of people.
I looked down and kept walking; my 'talent' had made me VERY shy. I had learnt it was best to lie down. We came to a big open fire and Mr. Tall said to everybody there "Hello everybody, this is Victoria, she is new and has a very beautiful but dangerous talent and she will not be showing it to anyone she doesn't trust," He paused and turned to the snake-boy "Evra, Victoria will be joining you with chores in the afternoon, she will sleep in the morning and help hand out posters with Mr. Crepsley at night," Evra nodded and held out his hand to shake mine but my eyes were glued to the sausage in his hand. I was so hungry; I've been living off of spare food out of garbage bins for the past few weeks. He obviously realised I was hungry and grabbed a sausage off the fire stabbed it with a stick and handed it to me "Be careful its h..." Before he could finish what he was going to say I had shoved the sausage in my mouth, "hot, hot, hot, hot...HOT!" I screamed fanning my mouth, I gulped down the sausage and grabbed some else's water! I drank the whole glass but my mouth still felt like it was on fire. I panted and panted like my dog, ignoring everyone else's laughing! After my mouth had cooled down I laughed to.
After we had our laughing fit Evra said "So you have a dog with you?" Oh yeah! I guessed Marley was hungry as well. I asked for another sausage, waited for it to cool down a little and put it on the floor where Marley devoured it thankfully. I said to Evra "I wonder where I'm going to sleep tonight?" He replied "Go see Mr. Tall," I nodded and left with Marley in my arms.
