We spent the next two days hanging out with R.V and Sam, I warmed to Sam a little but then reminded myself that it would just make his death more hurtful and I was always spiteful and secretive to R.V when it came to my powers, the truth was I couldn't use them if I was tired or even hungry because I had to be completely focused. All Sam could talk (and rant) about is how it would be cool if he could join the cirque, Darren had already asked Mr. Crepsley and he said that Sam had to become a half vampire too. So Darren told Sam no, but he won't give up, I know he wont.
One day when Darren and Evra were busy I grabbed my sketch book and went to meet Sam and R.V down the field; I made R.V happy by adding more and tending to the flowers all over the field. While he was prancing round like a fairy I decided to draw Sam in my sketch book. Once I was finished I showed Sam he gasped and called R.V over. I closed my sketch book when I saw Darren and Evra run over, smiling like idiots. I asked them why they were wearing massive sloppy grins they replied "There's another show tonight," I fist punched the air. Darren said to R.V and Sam "Oh yeah, I have tickets for you guys!" I stood up and left, before I could Evra asked "What have you got there?" H asked curiously. "Here," I said "It's all my drawing throughout my life; I put the date down on everything." I handed him the sketch book aware of what he was going to see. He flicked through until he got about a quarter of the way through, he gasped and muttered "You drew this two years ago, I've known you for about a month and this is a drawing of me?" I snatched back the sketch book and flicked to a certain page then handed it to Evra "But this is Darren and me, and who's this?" He pointed towards a young girl, about the same height, had dark, long, brown hair to match her big dark brown eyes. "That was me before I joined the cirque du freak," I smiled, he looked at me sympathetically, "You looked really nice," Darren said "Oh really, I looked really nice," I said jokingly. He looked at me and said "NO, no, no, no that's not what I meant!" I looked at him blankly and said "Darren, I know, it's called a joke," R.V flipped a few pages and said "This is me, but why do I have hooks for hands and purple skin? Why do I have red eyes and lips and even red hair!?" I didn't know what to say so I just said "You will see." Before I left with my sketch book to get ready for the show.
I knew R.V liked flowers so I would put a lot of my earth element into this show and I think I'll ask if Marley can be in the show as well so I can show off how I speak to animals. Darren came in so we could talk about my act. When I told Marley that he would be in it he was overjoyed an asked if he could help sniff out drugs and alcohol like they did on the cop shows they used to show at our human house. I told him yes and he wouldn't shut up, but of course to Darren it was just a load of yapping.
Night came, it was time for the show to begin, I looked from behind the curtain and I saw R.V and Sam sitting in conjoining seats muttering happily. I was again the last performance apart from Evra of course. Until then I decided to do some drawing. I sat on a stool and got to work, I had decided to draw R.V nicely, as a human because I knew that soon he was about to become so inhumane it was impossible. I drew him smiling in a field full of flowers and plants with a careless look in his eyes. I made sure to include his patchy clothes and his massive beard and his weird way of looking at the world. I stopped drawing and sent Marley to sniff around bags and people to see if there was anyone with illegal drugs or any other sort of that like alcohol and stuff.
When it was time for me to go on I introduced myself, asked about the fruits and veggies that anyone liked, R.V's hand shot straight up I listened to his answer. Strawberries and blueberries sprouted all around the tent. For R.V I sprouted some special mushrooms that numb pain, He would be feeling a lot of that soon! I did the same thing with water that I did last time and with fire and made . After the water part of my act had finished I called Marley onto the stage and reassured the audience "Another one of my many talents is that I can communicate with animals. I spoke to Marley "So, are there any bad people that I should maybe, kick out?" I listened to a yap in reply, I stood up and said "Third row, seventh seat from the right," I counted until I found the right seat and what I saw shocked me, it was Steve smirking evilly. How is he here! I don't remember him being here in the book but I guess that's because Darren never noticed him. I smiled and sent a mind message to him "Get out!" He shook his head, I just gave my own evil smirk and what he didn't notice was the end of his trousers was on fire! He started to panic and as he ran out the tent I added a sly warning "my lord!" I apologised to the audience, "Sorry, he was carrying illegal alcohol, anyway, that concludes our amazing show, more treats and goodies will be available on your way out, thank you and goodbye," I didn't even wait for the screams when Evra comes on, I headed straight outside to try and find Steve.
I wondered around outside but it was dark so I put a little flame in my hand, I found him sitting on a moss-covered stone bench not noticing the cold, because of my past powers I no longer felt the cold either. "Hi," He said still smiling evilly; I pulled some dirt off the ground and hardened it into a dagger, "What do you want!" I snapped "Why are you here?" he stood up, my grip on the dagger in my hand tightened. He tried to move quickly but I had secretly been taking lessons from Mr. Crepsley on defence and offence. I held out my spare hand as he ran right into it, not a moment later I was on him, my dagger pressed against his throat, "What do you want?" I hissed. He said nothing for a while and then he laughed "You are just as pretty in person!" EW! Was he actually hitting on me? The dagger bit even deeper into his skin and drew blood. "Go away, I never want to see you again," I said, standing up. "Destiny said to me, if I was to win anything I must have you on my side." He said. I laughed "Not. Going. To. Happen, end of." I sneered. He retaliated by saying "He said you would be hard to win over, but it will happen." I laughed again "Nope, bye," I waved and left to go back to the tent. When I got back I went to the tent but ran into Truska on the way, I said to her "can you get Darren some new clothes please?"
I don't think I'm going to do another show for a while, using my talents too much is starting to take its toll on me. After the run in with Steve I didn't go out to see Sam and R.V anymore, I just stayed in the tent and had a chat with Marley and did my chores. I had to help Darren with going to get 'Lefty' some food so we went to a nearby field and tried to find a weak lamb. Darren walked over to it and tried to snap its neck, there was a horrible creaking sound but it did not die, it just lay there on the ground, so I took out one of my knives ( I always carried 2, it was all I could fight with) and stabbed it right through its stomach. I didn't want to do that because I was the one hearing it shouts "please! No!" We were both pretty tired, Darren from his lack of blood and me from the exhausting two shows. Darren told me that Mr. Crepsley was trying to force blood into him; he told me he was trying to get him to drink from a dead person. We turned back and as we were dragging the lamb we saw R.V perched on one of the fence posts looking at us in horror. "How could you!" I stopped him there, pulled my dagger and said "We don't liked doing this, we don't want to do this, it's me who heard her pleas, it's me who had to finish her off, I hated doing that but I had to!" He went into a big rant about how we were murderers and then went on to rave about the wolf man. Darren saw no point in arguing and lobbed the lamb right at R.V, it hit him square on the chest and he landed on the ground with a thud! I took my moment and pounced on R.V while he was down "You won't bring anyone, you won't interfere and you most defiantly won't come back to the cirque! Get it! Good!" I snapped. R.V looked with terror-filled eyes and nodded. I jumped back off him, Darren grabbed the lamb, and we both trudged back to the cirque du freak, with shame filled eyes.
