"How close are we?" I asked running up to Mr. Crepsley. He closed his eyes and concentrated.
"At least 2 miles."
"Thanks!" I smiled and ran back to Darren, Arwyn, and Harkat. Darren had been telling Arwyn and I about the Cirque, and how everything started there for him.
"So tell me more about your friend Evra, he sounds drop-dead-SEXY!" Arwyn was practically drooling.
Sexy? OK then…
"Sexy?" Vancha turned around at Arwyn. "What in the hell are you talking about?"
Darren, Arwyn, and I started laughing. Vancha gave us a puzzled look.
"Wow, Arwyn, I didn't know you felt that way about me. I must return the compliment by saying that you, my dear are, too." Vancha grinned.
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH HIM?!?!
Arwyn's face was unexplainable.
"Oh, why thank you, Vancha." Arwyn said coolly, "I would like to give you something…" All of us stopped. Mr.Crepsley looked scared. I was!
Arwyn closed her eyes and walked over to Vancha, moving her face close to his. Vancha smiled like the pervert he is, and closed his eyes, too. Their faces moved closer and closer until their lips were almost touching and-------
SLAP!
"VANCHA MARCH YOU PERVERTED FREAK OF NATURE! WHERE THE HELL DID YOU GET THE IDEA THAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT YOU!!!!!!!" Arwyn screamed as she smacked him across the face.
Go, Arwyn! The rest of us erupted into a fit of laughter. Vancha was on the ground rubbing his face, a huge red hand print on his cheek.
"What did I do?" he whimpered.
Even Mr.Crepsley was laughing. Arwyn stood tall above Vancha glaring down on him. She stood straight and continued walking as if nothing had happened. Darren and I ran up to her laughing our ass's off and each gave her a 'high 5'.
"So Darren, where were we? Oh, yes. EVRA." Arwyn specified the name Evra and turned around at Vancha quickly.
It took Darren a few seconds before he stopped laughing and continued.
"Well, he has green and yellow mixed hair and scales." Darren told her.
Scales?
"Oooo…KEWL! What else?" Arwyn was acting like a little girl with a crush.
"um…he's married…" Darren said uneasily.
Arwyn looked down. "Oh…that's ok!" Her face brightened.
An hour passed and we found ourselves on a hill looking down on a large field with tents and trailers. I was guessing this was the Cirque Du Freak.
"We're here!" Darren cried happily.
Steve's POV"Gannen! Let's go!" I yelled. Kuroi came up to me curiously.
"Where are you going?" She asked.
"Don't worry about it," I said emotionlessly. "You can walk around or do what ever you want."
She smiled and walked off.
Gannen came out of his tent and I jumped on his back. "East." I commanded him and he starting flitting in that direction. Since I wasn't a full vampaneze yet, I couldn't flit.
Everything was going the way I had planned it. When we left Vampire Mountain, not everyone left. I kept a few spies there so when the 'Hunters' left again to come searching for Kuroi and I, I would know where they went. My spies would send back telepathic messages to Gannen updating him. That's where Gannen and I are going now, to meet up with them and finish them off so they don't stand in my way. Kuroi doesn't know this. She is so naïve. Gannen and I knew she was eavesdropping in on us and we came up with that bogus conversation about me loving her. I think vampaneze have better senses than vampires. She is pretty, but I don't love her. I love using her and making believe the vampaneze are doing the right thing.
The vampires are at the Cirque Du Freak, where this all started with Darren, and where it will end.
Darren's POV"Evra!"
"Darren!"
I embraced my old friend. "I've missed you!" I cried.
"It's so good to see you!" Evra cried back.
Evra was my best friend in the whole world. I had missed his company while I was at Vampire Mountain and on my quest. A small boy whose height was up to my chest scurried over.
"Shancus? Is that you?" I gasped. Shancus was Evra's son who he had named after me.
"Yep!" He smiled.
He was so big from the last time I had seen him.
"You're so big!" I exclaimed.
"I know." He agreed.
Evra laughed. "So what brings you back to the Cirque Du Freak?"
"We just thought we'd pay you a visit." Vancha said. We explained to Evra what had been happening over the past few years and he told us what had happened to him.
"So Darren, are you going to introduce me to your lady friends?" Evra asked.
Oh yea!
"Evra this is Arwyn and Kirin."
Arwyn and Kirin shook Evra's hand.
"Are those real scales?" Kirin asked Evra.
"Sure are, last time I checked at least…" He chuckled.
Steve's POVWe're here. I hopped down off Gannen's back and quietly crept up behind a tent. Voices, but none of the vampires'.
I went up to another one and found them.
"Aww, you're so cute!" Someone squealed. My sister.
"I know. Wanna' play tag?" A boy asked.
"Sure!" Arwyn exclaimed and started running after the boy. She's always been so immature.
"Looks like Arwyn's enjoying herself." Another person said. It was the vampiress who cut my face in the battle! I still have a scar…she'll pay for that!
"Is Mr. Tall around?" A man said. It was Larten Crepsley, the evil bastard who said I had bad blood.
"Yes, I'll take you to him." A man said. Did he have scales?
The group started moving.
"Gannen," I whispered. "We attack now!" I took out a knife, I had plenty, and with a quick flick of my wrist, sent it flying at Darren's head. It sailed right above it, just missing. Darren spun around. If Gannen and I needed back up, we could call for my spies to help. I walked from the shadows.
