Questions With Obvious Answers

I've been walking around Cirque for three hours straight, no answers to my question. I stood in front of Darren's trailer and knocked. He might know, or could find out, about why Evra is so skittish right now when I come around. Darren slowly opened the door and gasped. I opened my mouth to ask him the question when he slammed the door and I heard locks locking. I growled.

"Darren Shan, if you don't open that door and let me ask my question, I'm breaking your door down!" I shouted. He knew I'd do it, too. I've done it twice before. Once was when I was on my monthly, then other was when he stole Rose as a little bitty egg. Rose is only three months old. He's been a Vampire for almost three years. Darren reopened the door a smidge, then I kicked it lightly all the way. Inside the room was Evra. I froze and backed outside again. Evra. He was the reason I had come to Darren in the first place. "Can you meet me in my trailer when you're done with Evra there?"

"S-sure. See y-you later, Steph." Darren sighed in relief as I stalked away, to my trailer. I slammed the dark trailer door and was greeted by warm darkness. My eyes grew accustomed to the nightish habitat and I found Rose curled up on my hammock. I smiled, her little red scaled head rested on the place my head usually lay, and her wings were curled up on her small, cat-sized body. I really hope Darren can answer my question.

Evra's POV...

I sighed when Stephanie left. I'm happy she doesn't have to hear this.

"So, as you were saying, Evra?" Darren asked.

"I...I really like Stephanie. As in like like." I stuttered. "But I can't decide if she likes me back or not."

"Hm...how long have you two known each other?"

"Nine years, since Mr. Tall brought her here." I replied, confused on how his half-human brain was working.

"Wow...you've must've liked her for a very long time then. Tell her how you feel. I have a feeling she has something to say along the same lines as you have." Darren grinned. I groaned. He was going to try and pull us together. With that said and done, he left whistling to Stephanie's trailer. I trudged along behind him. That's when I got an idea, I'd spy on their conversation! I know eavsdropping is bad, but I had an itch she'd say no to her liking me. Only as a friend, not any more than that.

Stephanie's POV...

Darren entered my trailer without knocking, as usual, and grinned as he sat next to me on my bed.

"What's your question, Steph?" He asked.

"Do you think Evra likes me? As in like like?" I muttered.

"Yeah, totally. Told me himself."

"You're mean, Darren Shan! If he told you he really likes me, he'd expect you, as his best friend, to keep it secret!" I exclaimed.

"So you two do like each other! I see a kiss between you two is gunna happen." Darren laughed at my red face. "Why not go on a date? Ask him to go to the movies tomorrow night, we have no performance."

"Actually," I grinned. "I'll ask him to Phantom of the Opera. There's a showing at seven tomorrow and I've got two tickets."

"Great idea, Steph." Darren grinned, waving. "I gotta go see what Mr. Crepsley's up to. Bye."

"G'night, Darren." I smiled and waved. I laid back on my bed, sighing happily. It was great to get my crush on Evra off my chest.

Evra's POV...

She likes me. She really likes me! I grinned widely, chased after Darren, and leaped on his back. I grinned and he did, too, carrying me like the friend he is back to our trailer. I hopped on my hammock and smiled even while I was asleep.
