Chapter 1: A strange encounter
*VOOM VOOM* A black and orange motorbike roared past the twenty-one year old girl, drenching her in dirty muddy puddle water. "OH! You could of killed someone you twat!" She screamed after it, in which the white haired driver just simply waved the back of his hand at her, dick.
She was already dripping to the bone no thanks to him, it was just her luck, the one day she forgets to take her pale green umbrella to work was the day it rains fricken cats and dogs. Her short sleeved white shirt and mid thigh black skirt hung on tight to her pale skin, at least she had a big brown duffel coat in which was dropping like a old dog over her body weighing her down with the water.
She let out a sigh of frustration, she only had several more blocks to walk till she arrives to her flat, in which her roommate Blair was probably having nosey fun in her room with some male friends. At least I got some more tips from work today, I can't wait in till I have enough to get away from this dump of a town or at least the district. She thought optimisedly as she carried on walking down the dingy downtown streets of Death city. I also got to talk with some of the regulars at the cafe today, they are always friendly, longest conversation I've had with someone this week so far. Can't wait to get home, and continue reading my new book 'shadow and bone' and if I remember correctly there's some leftover pizza in the fridge *BONUS*.
It was around 4pm and she got off work at 3, it was at least a hour and a half long walk back to hers, she didn't want to get a bus or taxi since that's wasting her money and she thought it be good for exercise. Now she regrets this decision deeply. Since it was late November it was already getting dark, the streets lights lit up the puddles making them look like mini golden lakes in the cracks of the pavements. Well at least there are some good things about rain. At this thought she looked up into the grey sea of clouds pouring down on her, I really hate global warming right now.
The rain began to slow down a bit so she slowly pulled of the two emerald hair bands from her right wrist and tied up her damp hair into her signature side ponytails. Then all a sudden "YAHOO! YOUR ALMIGHTY GOD HAS ARIVED! KNEEL DOWN IN MY PRESENCE!" came echoing from the street behind her tall skinny figure. She turned half in ignorance and the other in shock, It turns out the noise was coming from three colourful caravans, mainly red, black and silver. It turns out that there was a loud ass blue head standing dangerously on top of the first caravan (which was definitely going over the speed limit). She spotted a long dirty blonde haired girl in the driver seat with a scary dark aurora over her, which sent a shiver down her spine. Which was very rare. Because of its fast pace she wasn't able to examine the vehicle.
Then closely behind the first caravan was the second with a familiar looking girl in the driver seat apart from she looked younger and had lighter blonde hair just out of reach of her shoulders by several inches. There was no screeching 'God' on the top of the roof but the driver was just as loud 'singing' "GIRAFFEES, GIRAFFEES, GIRAFFEEES!" swinging her head side to side with her eye's dangerously closed.
But the third caravan was going at a much slower pace compared to the other two, this one was driven by a beautiful girl who was quite and calm with her dark long hair tied into a high ponytail. (definitely unlike the first two drivers) Because of its slower pace the girl was able to admire the caravan in more detail, it reminded her of a gypsy caravan slightly, it was mostly made out of wood. It's base colour was black with wide red boarders on each side of the caravan, with a thin boarder on that of silver. In the centre of the side there was swirly old fashioned writing in silver spelling out 'The Soul Eater Circus'. It somewhat hypnotised her leaving her standing as still as a statue watching it as it disappeared behind a corner.
Then a voice came from behind her which made her jump to her feet, "I see your interested in our circus," the voice was a smooth masculine voice, the girl slowly turned around to see who the voice belong to while brushing off invisible dust off her soaking skirt. It turned out to be a boy similar age to her, with black hair with three distinctive white lines on the right side of his hair. He was dressed in a black and white suit of some kind which was perfectly symmetrical, one hand holding up a black umbrella he continued to speak. "The name's Death the kid, sorry for the rude interruption but I work as a co-owner of 'Soul Eater Circus' and I saw you were interested by our caravans which drove past a moment ago." He had a very posh accent and said everything with such ease, he then extended out his spare hand towards the girl. In which she cautiously returned, in which she gave a hand firm hand shake back, to show her strength to be on the safe side and replied "It's a pleasure to meet you, my name is Maka Albarn."

After the introduction, Kid (he insisted she called him by this name, in which she did) offered to walk her home under the protection of his smart black umbrella. She accepted the offer since she was already freezing cold and she didn't want to get a cold, meaning she won't be able to work, meaning no tips, meaning no escape. At first it was a on and off conversation, but the more they talked the more they got along. They talked a lot about education, politics and books they've read. It seemed like they were long time friends by the time they were only a block away from maka's apartment building. It turns out he put pretty much all of his massive fortune towards the circus, in which travels worldwide, he kept saying the circus was like his family and they did everything for each other. Maka loved to hear all about his family and all and it did make her smile when he mentioned funny stories about their adventures, but at the same time this made her sad. She never had and probably ever will have people like that, family she had a shit one for sure, her womanizer of a dad who drove away her lovely kind mother, who was now who knows where.
When they turned a corner and Maka spotted her apartment she pointed towards it and said, "There's my apartment, it was lovely meeting you but I must leave now, thank you for walking me home." She gave a quick bow and held out her hand towards him for a last handshake.
"My pleasure, it was wonderful meeting someone as educated as me, it's great and all but most of the people at the circus didn't get a proper education meaning I don't get much changes to talk about literature. Maybe you could drop by our circus, we're going to be here for all of next week." He gave her a slow friendly hand shake.
"That would be lovely, if you want I could bring that book I was talking about, I finished it recently and it's the least I could do for you walking me home and inviting me." She smiled back at him, in which he returned with a symmetrical smile.
"Come by tomorrow, we will be setting up but I can still give you are tour and introduce to some of my friends I've mentioned, I can drop by tomorrow and pick you up." At the last words Maka's smile disappeared, he's nice but am I sure I can trust him? Normally there would be no hesitation, all men just wanted is to mess up with woman minds and leave them scarred, but I don't know this guy seems different I maybe I should let loose and risk for once. NO! What are you talking about, all you know he could be a pedo, but I really want to check out this circus. Maybe I could just go there by myself and of course I'll be able to tell if it's a circus or not, that idea is brilliant. You're a genius Maka! I know thank y-
"Are you ok?" Kid interrupted her thoughts, it turned out they been standing outside the double doors to her flat for a while now while she was stuck in the world of her brain.
"Oh yeah, sorry got lost in my thoughts I do that a lot," Maka scratched the back of her head embarrassed and continued. "No I won't need a ride I can walk there myself, I like to keep fit, explaining the reason I was walking in the rain like a crazy woman. Where is it?" She let out a weird little laugh at the end, god, he must think I'm insane now. Great there are my chances of tour gone!
"That's ok, it's not far from here hence why we came driving past you on your way home, we are on the edge of town in the desert behind the cinema and theatre. I believe it's only a half an hour walk away from here." His smile seemed to reappear on his face and widen with happiness, maybe I didn't mess it up after all. She thought as she smiled back and let out a sigh of relief.
"Well thank you again, see you tomorrow." Before going into the building and through the rotting double doors she searched through the pocket of her massive duffel coat for the key. Luckily thanks to shelter from the umbrella the duffel coat had dried a bit, as she pulled out her key she looked up towards Kid.
"Come around mid day and just ask around for me, farewell." He said over his shoulder as he began to walk down the pavement, yeah I think I can trust him. She thought as she walked into the grim dark building.
