Guess who's back? Back again?


"Pretty butterfly!" Ma Petite giggled in joy, running and hopping to grab a hold of at least one butterfly. Zoe was sitting underneath the tree, spell book in hand trying to focus. But, hanging out with the small Indian woman was hard to focus, in a good way.

"Petite don't run too far! Ms. Elsa will never forgive me if something were to happen to you!" Zoe yelled in worry, quickly getting up to rush to her.

"Butterfly is getting away!" She laughed, her little chubby arms reaching as far as she could. Zoe just laughed, gently picking her up into her arms.

"Have you ever heard the story of butterflies?" Zoe asked, Petite shook her head. "Well, when someone passes away…and someone wants to send a message to them? They send a butterfly to give them the message. You wanna know how they do that?" Petite shook her head in reply. "Well, you just have to close your eyes…and think of a message you want to send. If you think hard enough, a butterfly will flutter on your hand to retrieve the message. And poof! Off to heaven it goes."

"A beautiful story," Petite stated. "You are beautiful," she hugged Zoe close, causing the witch trying her hardest not to squeeze.

"Should we head back? I think they have a plan for you for Ms. Elsa!" It was the German woman's birthday, and most of the freaks make it a big deal…but one thing was missing, the twins. According to Elsa, they went for a fitting and the next thing she knew they were gone. But it seemed odd to Zoe, they seemed to like it there…why would they leave? The same thought went through Jimmy as well, he fought so hard to protect them…and they just left. Still, the birthday went on, everyone giving her some small gift despite the sad faces.

This didn't go unnoticed with Elsa though, but she told them all to move on…that she had a trick that was sure to rake in the money. A spinning wheel…the kind you put someone on and throw knives at. Zoe looked a bit uneasy about it, so was Jimmy. According to him they tried that a couple of years ago, only to have someone killed. Things were getting desperate…and it was beginning to show.

"I just wish there was something we could do," Jimmy spoke as he and Zoe walked around the camp hand in hand. "I know Elsa means well but…you're just asking for trouble with that sort of thing." Zoe was in thought, trying to figure something herself. Despite Jimmy wanting so badly to leave, this was all he ever knew…all they all ever knew. Something had to change; something had to bring in the crowds! Suddenly, the thought hit her. A light bulb above head look flashed across her face.

"Me," she spoke, causing Jimmy to stop in confusion. "Me, I'll be an act!"

"What are you going to do? Magic?" Jimmy asked; almost as if she was joking…but seeing she wasn't had him worried. "But Zo…what about the witch rules? Your school? If you are an act you would have to be here every day and more! You'd basically be…dropping out would you?"

"Not if I'm here after school, plus the weekends. And I've seen fake magic acts before; I just simply do the same thing except well…real magic." Zoe explained. "You said yourself I would fit right in here…what could be more perfect?" Jimmy thought about it a tad, it wasn't a bad thought. People liked magic tricks, and no one would be the wiser. Of course, when they went to Elsa about it…she had a different reaction.


"We are a freak show, not a magic show," Elsa informed them.

"But Zoe is a freak…no offence baby doll," Jimmy told her, Zoe took no offense. "She's just…above it a bit. Think about it Elsa, with Zoe's magic…people will be eating it up! And she won't be singing."

"Yeah, I hate singing," Zoe agreed. They knew as long as no one was upstaging Elsa…she would agree for sure. She sat there, pondering a bit. Finally, she gave them a nod. "We will test it this Friday night, if it works…we'll make it part of the show." Zoe was relieved; she would have done anything for Jimmy and his family. It was a big risk sure…but she would take it, she just would have to be careful. Even when she was a school she looked and looked through the spell and charms pages. Trying to figure out something that would be a wow factor.

"Okay, so I figured some telekinesis," Zoe explained in Jimmy's trailer. She was engrossed in the book, but Jimmy had other plans. Wrapping his arms around her waist as he kissed along her neck. "Make stuff float around or…or maybe I can float myself around!"

"Yeah, good idea," Jimmy muttered, giving her neck a gentle nip.

"Jimmy! I'm trying to focus on my act and you wanna distract me!" Zoe lightly scolded him, but when she turned to look at him he just tried his best at the puppy look.

"I can't help it baby!" Jimmy pouted, causing Zoe to laugh. "You might need to quit wearing that cherry blossom shit."

"Why you don't like it?" Zoe asked.

"I fucking love it, that's the problem." Jimmy licked his lips. "You smell so god damn sweet. And the scent gets stronger the closer I get to you."

"Well I'll tell you what; you help me out with the act. And you can smell me all you want," Zoe smirked, biting her bottom lip. This of course caused Jimmy to growl at her and capture her lips in a deep kiss.

"I wanna do more than smell," Jimmy informed her, causing her to move back against the small bed.

"Yeah?" Zoe asked, feeling her heart flutter…as well as another part of her when she saw how heated he looked.

"Yeah…wanna hear about it?" He asked her, moving her arms and gently pinning them with one of his claws.

"Y-Yeah," Zoe nodded, taking a shaky breath.

"Well, not only do I wanna smell. I wanna touch…and lick…and kiss," he rasped, capturing her lips in a more sensual kiss. "I wanna know if you taste as sweet as you smell…you let me do that baby?" He asked, moving his lips along her neck. "You'd let me taste those sweet little petals?" Zoe let out a soft moan, she could feel herself getting wet by his words. "Spread those petals with my tongue…my claw…show you what I would have done the first day we met." Jimmy had quit his other job on the side, which was a blow for extra cash. But he didn't care; he finally got what he wanted in Zoe. There was no sense in him to continue, he was a happily committed man. Zoe was the only girl he wanted to use his trick on, because with her it would be special. Just seeing her now reacting to him had him burning up. That moan, the way her face twisted in pleasure, it was all for him and him alone. She was all his, as he was all her's.

Zoe felt as if she was about to explode, just looking at him…hearing his voice thick with desire. She never thought she would feel like this with anyone…and thanks to her own little trick, she wouldn't worry if they really did agree to do it…which seemed might be sooner then she originally thought. "God I wanna taste you so damn bad," he continued, bucking his hips against her causing her to gasp out. She could feel he was just in the heat of the moment as she was. "Lap my tongue against you…feel you ooze that sweet nectar. So thick and sweet…" She watched him lick his lips, a roll of her hips against her. "Slide my tongue in ya…wiggle it around…mmph fuck. He rasped, her own face twisted in pleasure. "Licking that little pussy…" Zoe couldn't help it, her legs spread wider. Jimmy got a good look at the wet patch against her silk panties, holding everything in his power not to shoot a load. His face was fixated, taking a claw and brushed it against her, causing her to shiver.

"God damn Zo," Jimmy cussed. "I don't know if I can wait no longer."

"Then don't," Zoe spoke, biting her bottom lip. She was giving him permission, practically displaying herself at him. That was enough for him. He pulled the fabric to the side, exposing her in front of him for the first time. Zoe couldn't help but blush, watching him look as if he was presented with a grand feast. He did look up at her, rubbing a claw over her wet folds, causing her to whimper slightly. She was looking down; her eyes were open…just for him.

"You've never really…you know," he asked gently. Zoe shook her head in reply, causing Jimmy's ego to swell more. He would be the real first for her, his touch would be what she would be familiar with. And he knew what to do, knew exactly what would have her howling his name. He rubbed against her clit, watching her face as it twisted in bliss. He let go his grasp on her wrists, watching them slide down her body to where they were about to connect. She was touching his hand, she was acknowledging his existence. She wasn't off in her head, picturing another scenario. This was her scenario, Jimmy almost felt emotional in that moment. This beautiful girl wanted him to touch her, his hands never made her flinch or nothing…god he loved her so!

He kept rubbing her clit in circles, feeling her get more and more wet. Slowly moving down and his head so close between her legs. He was so god damn close!

"Jimmy!" Ethel's voice boomed as she banged the door. "I need to talk to ya now!" Dammit Ma! Jimmy sighed in defeat; Zoe was so red in her embarrassment. But when they looked at each other, Jimmy just smiled. Putting her panties back in place, a kiss of her inner thigh.

"Rain check?" He asked, Zoe nodded with a more modest look to her face. "Hey, don't be ashamed. I want it to be right, special. I want your first time to be memorable for the rest of our days. Okay? You are so beautiful…you know that right?" He moved up to eye level with her, trying to make her know…to understand.

"You're the first person to ever make me feel beautiful," she replied with a small voice.

"And you're the first girl to really make me feel like a man," he told her in return. With another gentle kiss he groaned at what he was left with. "Wish I knew how to calm this down." Referring to his aching erection.

"Your mom naked on a cold day?" Zoe asked in suggestion, Jimmy looked at her with wide eyes.

"Okay that worked, scarred me a bit," he laughed, moving back on his feet. "You just work on that trick baby girl. And if this works, we are getting back to what we started." Zoe nodded, trying to adjust herself. But she put the book back onto her lap and looked at the pages some more. Meanwhile, Jimmy went out, greeted by a rather panicked Ethel.

"Ma what's wrong?" He asked.

"Eve told me they were hanging Zoe's new poster for the show, some man stopped and asked questions. He didn't look right…he kept eying the poster. Could he be one of those people the witchy women talked about? Hunters or something?"

"Ma there's nothing to worry about. Zoe's careful; she won't make it too obvious. And if there's a bad guy around…we'll protect her. We protect our own." Jimmy argued.

"She's not one of our own; she's going to bring trouble…" Ethel mumbled, Jimmy looked at her in shock.

"I thought you liked her! That you liked her for me…" Jimmy argued.

"I do I just…I'm sorry Jimmy," Ethel sighed. "I'm overreactin'."

"Damn straight! Now Zoe's going to do the show and it'll rake in the bucks and the people again. And we're going to protect her no matter what. Because she's one of my own Ma. And I know what's best; somebody's gotta be the leader alright? Now you're worrying over nothing, that's not like you!" He was right, it wasn't like her. She worried about what was happening with the freak show, her short life, and now she just…she just had a bad feeling. But Ethel nodded, taking a breath. Jimmy was strong…he would protect them all if he had to.


Opening night had arrived; Zoe was standing on the sidelines wearing her gypsy gear. She was nervous…beyond nervous. Jimmy stood by her side, squeezing her hand in support.

"You got this, make us proud out there," he whispered, kissing the top of her head. "I'll be out in the crowd watching ya." Zoe looked at him, smiling despite the nerves. Looking out to watch Ethel come on the stage in her get up.

"And now, yer all in a wonderful treat! She comes from the mystical lands of Greece," she wasn't. "The daughter of the goddess Hecate herself." Her mom's name was Vivian and she was a housewife. "Feast yer eyes on the magical, the wonderful, Lady Zoe of Benson!" Zoe took a deep breath, rushing to her spot as the curtain pulled. The light of the spot light kinda blinded her, but she could see enough to see Jimmy. Leaning against a pole with a smile of encouragement…and in that moment she forgot she was in front of people at all. She started off simple, taking juggling balls and juggled. Suddenly, one of the balls was stuck in the air. Causing her to act confused and looked up. The crowd laughed, watching her jump and try to grab the ball. She slowly backed up, rushing and within an instant she jumped. Flying in the air to grab the ball and landed on her feet with cat like moves. She heard the claps, the small gasps of amazement.

Zoe smirked, taking a bow before walking down the stairs and on the dirt. She noticed a little girl there; she looked slightly worried, making her feel bad…but she thought of a new trick. She waved at the girl, kneeling down and held her hands together. She whispers and breathes in her hands, opening them to show a butterfly appear out of nowhere. She watched at the little girl look in amazement, a noise of awe from the rest of the crowd as the insect fluttered out her hands and close to the little girl. The little girl giggled, trying to touch it as it flew away. Zoe earned another clap from the crowd, which went on every time she did a trick. Her last trick was one she was recently trying on, starting a fire all on her own. Sure she acted as if she blew the fire on the stick to start, something she notice the fire eaters do, but getting to start fire was huge…even for her. She was working more than one power, something Cordelia said was rare with a witch…unless…

The crowd roared with applause, causing Zoe to jump at the noise. She just smiled, bowed again and walked off the stage. Hearing Ethel talk was a mumble, for as she went back stage she was greeted by the other freaks congratulating her. Jimmy especially, grabbing a hold of her in a big hug.

"Baby that was amazing!" He told her; pulling her in a kiss, Zoe giggled…she was pretty surprised herself.

"Ms. Benson," Elsa's German accent pulled everyone from their small celebration. "I have to admit…that was very good, the crowd loved it."

"Thank you Elsa," Zoe began.

"No…thank you. Because of you, the freak show is going to be saved. Tonight my children we celebrate, tonight…we're welcoming out newest act!"

And celebrate they did, Zoe never experienced something like this. They were laughing, they were drinking, they were doing drugs? But she stayed from that, and so did Jimmy. They were sort of in their own little world, the cheering and laughing in the back ground.

"Do I get my own tent now?" Zoe teased, sitting on his lap.

"What you want your own tent for? Ain't my trailer enough?" Jimmy teased right back pulling her closer.

"You seriously don't mind me and you in that crowded bed of yours?" Zoe laughed.

"Hey, if the money rolls on in again we can get a better bed. Course with what we're about to do, do we really want a bigger bed?" He suggested, kissing her jawline. True to his word, they were done with the show, so he was ready to get back to earlier. Zoe sighed softly, biting her bottom lip before pulling away from him.

"I take it you're ready to ditch this party?" She asked.

"Yesterday," he muttered, keeping her in his arms as he carried her toward his trailer. Zoe giggled, clinging to him while kissing his cheek. Even cackled when he tried to kick the door open. But that fit of laughter soon died when they got inside, Jimmy putting Zoe on her feet and devoured her lips in a deep kiss.

"Jimmy…Jimmy wait," she painted pulling away. "Before we…you know. I gotta do something first."

"What?" He breathed, looking confused.

"Well, in order for us to do this without your head turning into fired egg yolks I have to do this little chant thing? It'll be quick I swear." Jimmy nodded in understanding, taking a step back as Zoe closed her eyes. She quietly did the chant, her eyes closed as if she was remembering something. Then she looked relieved, taking a deep breath and a smile. "Okay." Jimmy smiled, gently pulled her close. The kiss was gentle this time, loving.

"You sure?" He asked. Zoe nodded with a big smile; she wanted this…she wanted this so badly. And since she figured out how to control it she could! Jimmy took a breath, this was going to be the first time he ever did this and it actually mean something. He wanted to do it right, god don't make him screw this up now that he got it! His hands reached behind her, pulling the white peasant top off and over her head. She never bothered with a bra, so her pale breasts were exposed in front of him. His eyes darkened, taking a claw to knead them. Zoe's breath labored, she could feel herself throb with desire as Jimmy's lips captured a pale pink nipple in a sensual suck.

"Ah," Zoe moaned, causing Jimmy to twitch himself. Purring against her breast he lazily pulled away, flicking the nub with the tip of his tongue before he moved over and gave the other breast the same attention. Zoe could feel herself pooling, her fingers going through his brown hair. Jimmy moved her so she sat on the edge of the bed, pulling the skirt off along with her silk panties while on his knees. He was greeted again by the beautiful sight, causing him to groan in want.

"God damn baby," he breathed, putting her legs just over his shoulders. "Ready?"

Zoe nodded, taking a shaky breath as she saw him dip his head down between her legs. She gasped, feeling his tongue move over her clit; she could feel him wrap those same lips around her clit. Suckling the sensitive nub just like he did with her nipples. He hummed over her, making her moan with her head leaned back.

"God Jimmy," she panted. Getting a grab of her sides and pulling her closer to him in reply. He licked her folds, sliding it inside her and rolled it around. Making Zoe's moan get more vocal and breathless. Her hand grabbed the top of his head, fisting a handful of his hair. But he would not let up; he moved his head around between her legs. Flicking his tongue against her clit as fast as he could, fuck did she taste so good! He could be down there all day, do nothing but eat her out and hear her moan. Zoe couldn't hold on much longer, before long her thighs shook while she moaned his name out in ecstasy. Jimmy groaned, tasting her thick juices. He lapped and drank her nectar, flicking her clit again which made Zoe yelp and try to move his head away.

"Jimmy I can't!" She begged.

"Mmm, I fucking knew you'd taste good," he rasped, wiping his mouth. A claw brushing her freshly ate pussy making Zoe squeak again. "You tender baby?" He smirked. "Did I eat you good?"

Zoe nodded, her back arched. Jimmy slid a crooked tip of a finger inside, wiggling it up and down causing her to moan rather loudly.

"Shh, don't wanna wake the camp," he teased with a smirk. Zoe looked at him with deadly eyes making him chuckle. "Hey, don't blame me I can't help it you're sensitive. Not that I'm complaining." He finally stood of his feet, taking his shirt off while fumbling to get his pants undone. His eyes met her's, a smirk appearing on his face as he slide them down with his boxers. Finally exposing himself in front of her. He watched as her eyes widen at the sight of him, looking up back at him. He had to admit, it did boost his ego a bit.

"Hey, big hands right?" He teased, moving toward her and adjusted them so he was on top of her and between her legs. "And I'm not gonna get scrambled?"

"No," Zoe shook her head. "I got it under wraps…will it um…"

"It might, I'll be gentle I promise." He told her, giving her another kiss before he slowly slide inside of her. Zoe gasped, her face slightly twisted in discomfort. Jimmy stayed there for a while, he didn't feel weird or nothing…but he had to wait until Zoe told him to go. Zoe took a breath, looking up at him and gave him a slight nod. Jimmy nodded in reply, moving against her slow and steady. Heavy breaths between the two of them along with the slight squeak of the bed. It was after a while it started to feel good…really good. Zoe made a small moan, giving Jimmy the green light to pick up the pace. He hovered the top half over her, moving in and out of her with ease. Even roll his hip a tad getting a rather pleasant noise from Zoe.

"That feel good baby?" He panted, looking down and watching her pant and moan. She gripped his shoulder, her head thrown back with pleasure.

"Yes…oh god yes…Jimmy don't stop." Jimmy don't stop, god he waited so long to hear those words. He moaned, going harder in his thrusts. Now the slapping of skin added on to the nosy rhythm of the squeaking and the heavy breaths.

"Fuck you feel so good baby…so fucking tight," he grunted. Zoe felt herself throb, hearing his dirty talk and how he looked when he was in pleasure. Her hands traveled down, grabbing a hold of his ass to get him deeper. This earned a grin from him picking up his pace once again. "You want more baby?" He asked, getting a sigh in reply. "God you're so beautiful baby…and you're mine, all mine. You hear me?" He grunted, feeling himself getting closer.

"I'm yours baby…all yours," Zoe panted. "Mmm baby! I…I'm gonna cum."

"Cum with me baby," he rasped, putting a claw between them to rub her clit. "Cum baby…come on cum." Zoe's moans went higher and higher, until finally she called out his name in sheer bliss. Jimmy grunted out her name as he shoot inside her, his thrusts slightly sloppy…but it felt so god damn good! When the feeling settled down Jimmy sighed in relief, slowly pulling out of her and moved so she was resting on top of him. Zoe sighed, rubbing against him causing him to groan slightly.

"Give me a couple of minutes if you wanna do round 2," he told her, making Zoe giggle. "Was it okay?" He asked, suddenly sounding insecure.

"Are you kidding me? It was wonderful!" Zoe told him, looking down at him. "This was what I always wanted in a first time…was I okay?"

"Zoe you were incredible," Jimmy took a deep breath. "That's the first time anyone actually wanted me to touch them…call my name." Zoe felt her heart break for him; she kissed him on the lips. Cupping his cheek.

"We have plenty of more times together okay?" She promised him. "I love you Jimmy."

"I love you too Zoe," he smiled up at her. "Now let's sleep okay?" Zoe nodded in agreement, snuggling close to him as they slept. Until in the middle of the night there was a noise, causing them to wake up.


"What was that?" she whispered. Jimmy was in instant protective mode, getting up and quickly put some clothes on.

"Stay in here okay?" He whispered, grabbing a gun from a drawer and snuck out. He wasn't the only one awake from the noise, Paul and Eve were among the others that walked out and noticed a man looking through the tents. "What the hell are you doing?" He called.

The man was rather scrawny in size, a pencil thin moustache and rather sharp in dress. In short, he didn't belong there.

"I know that guy, he was the one asking me about Zoe," Eve spoke, causing Jimmy to feel more protective than ever.

"I'm so sorry, I mean no harm," he called. "I'm Stanley, I'm a talent scout. I know it's late but I promise I will be brief. I wanted to talk to the Zoe girl? I have a good eye for magic acts, and I feel she is top notch to try to get to Hollywood!"

"Do you think we're stupid Mister?" Jimmy told him. "What talent scout looks for someone in the middle of the damn night? You couldn't have waited until morning or something?"

"Oh I know it's rude, maybe um…if I just talk to her real fast? Give her the contract to look over?" This Stanley kept on, but Jimmy would not allow it.

"You don't think I'm aware?" Jimmy told him. "Any creep that's looking around at night ain't nothing but trouble. And I think its best you leave."

"Son…I don't think you understand…"

"No I understand fully Mister. You're here to do harm…and I'm not about to let that happen. You got two choices; you either leave and not come back? Or we make sure you don't try to get clever." The man looked at them, but he seemed he didn't like his options.

"I ain't got nothing against you freaks. I'm here for the Devil girl," he stated, and that was all what Jimmy needed to hear.

"And I'm here to tell you if you come near her we will kill you. We protect our own, and she's our own. Every one of you people that try to get her we will kill you…cause we're the law around here. Got it? And don't call us freaks." The others came closer, determined looks on their faces. The man stood there, plotting as to what to do. He took a step, Jimmy put up his gun. "I mean it Mister!"

"As long as you keep that witch we will come, you expect me to believe you are going to kill every single hunter? You freaks ain't got the guts," he took another step, and that was when Jimmy took the shot.

Zoe jumped, looking out the window to see what was going on, Jimmy stormed in, grabbing some knives and walked out.

"Jimmy!" Zoe called.

"It was a hunter after you," Jimmy told her. "We gotta cover the body up. Just stay inside you hear me?" He stepped out, leaving Zoe alone on the bed in a panic. How could a witch hunter find her? It seemed like hours, when Jimmy came back. He looked filthy, but he walked toward Zoe and crashed beside her.

"It's done, he won't get you no more," he swore. Zoe clung to him, feeling the tears threatening to leave her eyes.

"It's my fault…I thought…I thought I was careful!"

"There was nothing you could do baby," he told her, moving her so he could get a look at her. "I'm not letting anybody take you or hurt you okay?"

"I'm putting you in danger…" Zoe began but Jimmy stopped her.

"I did it for the twins I'm doing it for you, especially you. Don't blame yourself you hear me?" Zoe nodded, taking a look at him.

"You're dirty," she commented, Jimmy laughed sliding the clothes back off.

"I'll wash tomorrow morning…you won't mind my musk won't you?" Zoe shook her head, getting slightly shy. "Don't act coy now." He teased, giving her a reassuring kiss. "You're safe with me baby doll. I swore to protect you and that's what I'm gonna do."

Zoe relaxed, resting against him…but she didn't sleep. And in truth, neither did Jimmy. They both just laid there in the silence…wondering what on earth was going to happen to them next.
