There was an hour before show time so the members of the cirque were getting ready. Evra led Nyx to Truska's tent.

She was applying some makeup in front of a dresser mirror, her tent having a lavish four poster canopy bed and items from her old life when she saw the two entering.

"It's okay, Nyx." Evra said to the young vampire before hearing Truska speaking.

Nyx looked at the two confused as they both were talking like a couple of seals before she stood up. She approached the child and motioned her to sit where she was just there.

The child looked at her, to Evra, at the chair and back at Evra with a look of uncertainty. She does think that the bearded lady was quite pretty but she didn't know if it was okay.

Evra chuckled softly, "I think you don't have to worry about her. She just wants to trim your hair up a little. Truska also has a surprise for you too, it's ok. " He assured her before letting go of her hand.

Nyx's hair was horribly uneven with a large chunk of it sliced off, leaving two or three clumps that touched her ankles while the rest was up to her neck. Price to get freed from the Wolfman.

Truska said something else but she was calm. Though it's been many years, Nyx can tell she had a motherly tone that was truly not threatening.

Biting her lower lip, Nyx walked over to the stool and climbed up to sit, her legs dangled so she was swinging them.

She then watches Truska grabbing these long pairs of scissors. Nyx tensed up when the lady approached her with them but Evra had to reassure that it was okay.

Truska grabbed a brush, spoke to Nyx softly before beginning to fix her hair.

Refusing to look at the mirror, Nyx either stared at the ground or looked at the snake boy as she was being worked on. The remaining long hair fell to the ground and everything evening up.

One thing for sure, Nyx's head felt a lot lighter without the extra weight she carried on her for years.

She did like the feeling of Truska playing with her hair.

Truska then came around to face her, she spoke and Evra translated. "She also wants to trim your nails, it's okay." He said.

And boy they needed to be cut.

Nyx looked up at the two with more uncertainty before giving the lady a nod and held her hands out.

Truska was very delicate when holding her hands and used the same scissors she used for her hair and began cutting her nails.

Now it was known that vampires have tough nails and mostly have to resort to either biting them off to trim or other means but the scissors that were being used were able to slice the nails with ease.

Truska motioned her to look at the mirror but Nyx kept refusing to look at herself.

Then she spoke to Evra which he translated "uh, okay she wants me to leave so you can get dressed." he tells Nyx.

Nyx's eyes widened when he said that.

"I'll be right out here, don't worry. " Evra smiled at her before stepping out of the tent.

Truska giggled before she went to a rack of clothes she had. She scanned through the clothes before clapping when she found what she was looking for.

She pulls out a dress, it was pink in color with an interesting pattern, the kind that it would drape off the shoulders. A pair of slippers, long arm length gloves and a headband for her to wear. She turns to Nyx.

Nyx by then was nervous. She knew Truska wasn't going to harm her, but she felt really uncomfortable having to get undressed in front of anyone.

However, the woman showed that Nyx was indeed safe here. She cautiously assisted the child, not to completely overwhelm her. When the last touches were done, Truska clapped her hands and spoke excitedly in her language.

Beaming down at Nyx as if she was looking at her own daughter.

By that time, Evra poked his head in and saw what Nyx wore now, he gasped. "Wow, Nyx! You look cute!" Evra found him gushing as well. "Take a look. " He motions the mirror.

At first, Nyx didn't want to, but she did anyway. Raising her head and facing the mirror and she gasped as well.

The dress Truska had her wear looked amazing, it fitted her thin body, the gloves reached to her biceps so her nasty scars were covered, the skirt of the dress reached to her ankles. With how her hair was done, she almost didn't recognize herself.

Nyx looks down at the dress, having one of the biggest smiles on her face, she begins swaying the dress around, watching how the patterns change with each movement. Making happy sounds and noises.

"I think she likes it." Evra giggled, seeing how Nyx was reacting.

Truska then spoke and that got his attention. "Oh right, it's about time." Evra said, seeing how close to show time it was.

He held out his hand again to Nyx and she grabbed it. "Thanks, Truska, see you on stage." He said before he left with Nyx.

Evra led Nyx to the large main tent. By the time they were inside, the place was a full house. Many people from around the country came to see and witness the spectacular show that is the Cirque Du Freak, no matter where they go, the place will be jammed packed.

They see Mr. Tall, grabbing tickets from a couple when they approach him.

"Well I be," Mr. Tall said, though his lips weren't moving much, it was easy to tell he was amused to see Nyx out. "Evra, you've done well."

"Thanks, I honestly didn't think she'd come out." Evra said before looking down at Nyx. Though she hid behind him, Nyx poked her head around the corner and waved at Mr. Tall.

Mr. Tall chuckled, seeing what she wore. Leaning down to get a better look of her. "My dear, you look absolutely magnificent this evening. Apologies again for the Wolfman."

Nyx averted her eyes to look at the ground when mentioning the Wolfman.

Mr. Tall hummed before he opened the curtain for the two. "You better hurry, we were about to start the show. Hope you don't mind you sitting with her this time, Evra. It is terrifying for young ones."

Evra nodded. "I got her, don't worry." He said, then turned to the little vampire and gave her a reassuring smile. "Ready to go in?" he asked her.

Nyx gave him a nod.

"Enjoy the show." Mr. Tall said, motioning a hand for them to enter.

Though the snake boy would prefer performing tonight, he knew Nyx would need someone she trusted that would try and make her feel at ease.

As he led Nyx through the sea of crowds finding the best seat of the house, they were getting some stares as they passed. Evra was used to the stares he gets from his time traveling in the circus. Who wouldn't attract attention when he was covered head to toe in green scales with only traces of yellow and some blues in mix, and occasionally shed. He also could tell Nyx was getting stares of her own.

Evra made sure she stayed close to him as they swam through the sea of legs.

He led her to a couple of seats up in the middle row near the back of the tent and they sat down. Evra looked and couldn't help but giggle to see Nyx's feet weren't even touching the floor and was just idly swinging her feet.

"Comfortable?" Evra asked, taking a seat next to her.

Nyx nodded.

Soon the lights began to dim…

And the show began.
