About four weeks passed so let me catch you up.
I'm Darren Shan, half Vampire. I work for a Vampire named Larten Crepsley, me and him work at a circus called the Cirque Du Freak. There I met my current -I guess you can call him- Boyfriend. Evra Von, he's a snake boy. Me and him got into a fight over the misunderstanding of his ex-girlfriend. Mr. Crepsley hates the fact that me and Evra are going out. I'm pretty much doing it in spite of Mr. Crepsley. I found him kissing the Nurse that worked on me when I tried killing myself by slitting my wrists, Nurse Rajah, but was saved by Mr. Crepsley.
Me and Mr. Crepsley have been getting along better than I thought. We didn't talk about my relationship though. I didn't want to. I was still.. Never mind. It was the average Saturday night and the Cirque was stationed in an abandoned theater. The town in which we were camping outside of was a town that was slow, but had a lot of interesting places. It had a few shopping malls and a cluster of nice restaurants. Me and Evra have been out a few times. -Evra wraps his skin up in public so he doesn't get questioned about it every five seconds.-
So that Saturday night we had a show. Me and Mr. Crepsley went on stage with Madam Octa and did our wonderful thing. Evra was the final act, he has been for a while. His snakes would slide down form the balcony and scare everyone as they were leaving. Oh happy days.. except the following Sunday. Me and Evra were laying in a hammock together in my tent. He was curled up by my side, listening to his CD player I had bought him when we were out of town those couple of years back. We were listening to: Fall out boy; Thanks for the memories. It was a good song, I always liked them. We were holding hands, and I think he was drifting off to sleep. He was so cute, his pale white hair cast shadows over his eyes. He was cute. But Mr. Crepsley was cuter.
I was going over my thoughts and the events of this last month. I was shocked to think about what all had happened in such a short time. A couple of days ago me and Mr. Crepsley made a deal. He was getting -He wouldn't admit it.- Jealous. So he made me promise that we'd spend every Sunday night and all day Monday together. It was nice, we'd go out on the town Sunday night, get dinner, come back to camp and rehearse our upcoming performances. It was six thirty. Mr. Crepsley would be getting up in about thirty minutes, so I decided to get ready for tonight's festivities. I wiggled myself out of the hammock, Evra stirred but didn't wake. I kissed his forehead and whispered softly. "I'm sorry."
It was now seven thirty, and I was waiting on the edge of the city limits we meet there every time we go out. I was sitting on a crumbling brick wall as I waited for him. The bricks were either part of a old building or some fort. The sun was gone and half of the city just began to stir. I was picking my nails as I waited for my master. A whispered brush came from my left, I raised my head to focus some more, a snap of a twig, a crush of a fall leaf. "Hello, sir." I bowed my head, he stepped up next to me. "Darren." He spoke clearly, leaving chills dancing down my back. The corners of my mouth twitched into a smile. I hopped from the wall and looked up at him. "Shall we be going?" I smirked.
We were both dressed nicely. He was in a dark red casual suit. I was in a a suit jacket and dark purple button up with black pants. We swaggered through the streets, we looked /good/. Women of all ages stopped and stared at us. Some tired talking to us. One night we had a competition of how many women's numbers we could get, he won. He said women were attacked to his scar, I didn't doubt it. We had dinner, that's mostly what we do. Walk and eat. Tonight was different. Mr. Crepsley seemed happier. I liked it when he was in a good mood. He seemed like he was excited for something, so curiosity killed the cat and I asked him. "What's up with you? You seem overly excited. What are you hiding?" I asked after dinner as we were sitting on a bench outside a pub. "I wanted you to see something tonight I found in the woods the other night. It is quite a sight." He smiled one of /those/ smiles and I couldn't help but wonder more. "Well, is there anything else you would care to do before heading back?" I asked as I bit my tongue with anticipation. "I would like to go into this pub." He said simply. "Alright! Let's go!" I jumped up and clapped smiling madly.
About an hour or so after first walking into the pub we were drinking all sorts of things. I was laying my head on the counter slurring the lyrics of a song that the jukebox was playing. Mr. Crepsley laid a cold hand on my back. "I think it is time to go." He said as he stood up, he seemed fine but I need help walking. We got to the door and he wrapped his arm around my waist and I slung my arm around his shoulders and struggled to the city line. We stopped by the spot he wanted to show me. It didn't look like much, but I kept my mouth shut incase it was surprise. He sat next to me for a while, I swayed a bit but I was getting a hold of controlling myself before I completely lost it.
Mr. Crepsley stood up beside me and walked in front of me. Taking my hands he pulled me up and I stumbled a bit, softly falling into him. He steadied me and I smiled up at him, "Hello." I said as I swayed, my vision slightly blurred. I had no idea what was going on, but it felt magical. "S-so what were you going to show me?" I said as I placed my hands on his shoulders to steady myself. "Oh, it is nothing much." He smirked against the moonlight. "Just this." He whispered leaning forward and kissing me deeply.
