Hello! Yes I know I'm updating quite fast but don't get used to it! I had the free time today. I apologize for the previous chapter it was super late when I wrote it so I know there were errors. Hopefully this one will be better. And plz R AND R! Otherwise I don't know it you like the story. PM me if you have any suggestions.!

"Betty NO!" Beast shrieked waving her arm over her head and then forward to whip the animal. The man in black caught the end of the whip inches from the cat.

"Simply recklessly whipping her will not help in training her" the man in black said pulling the cat off him and standing up. I gasped as he looked completely uninjured. I couldn't even smell any blood. This man made me uncomfortable. Meeting his eyes I softly hissed narrowing mine back at him. Just then Betty jumped at him again sinking her teeth into his shoulder. He simply looked down at her.

"Oh my how untrained you must be" he simply said.

After the show was complete I hurriedly walked Betty back to her cage.

"Now why would you do that!" I hissed at her through the bars of her cage. She merely looked down obviously disappointed in herself.

"You should be." I muttered and left. On my way back to my tent in the first string member area I caught sight of Joker walking with the man who was bit by Betty.

"Joker!" I called out. The pair stopped and turned to me. Joker held up a hand to motion the man to wait while he came over to me.

"What is he doing here?" I hissed laying my ears flat.

"After Betty bit him I insisted Doctor take a look at him."

"Joker I'm half cat and even a human could tell he's fine." I growled.

"I know. But still hospitality is better. If you really have bad thoughts on him maybe you should follow and keep an eye on him" he said. I nodded and followed him back to where the man stood.

"My apologies, my companion here is concerned for your well being." Joker said and I frowned slightly.

"That is very kind of you" the man stated. I nodded grimly meeting his red eyes. Every inch of his irises showed he knew both of us were bluffing.

"So what's a girl of 18 or 19 doing in a place like this?" He asked.

"21 and my appearance is not simply for show. Genetics these days are twisted." I said softly narrowing my eyes. When I had been imprisoned they let me read so I took the opportunity to study up on the supernatural. By this mans scent and eyes I could clearly tell he was inhuman. As we began walking again to Doctors tent I fell into step with the man.

"So what business does a demon have on earth?" I asked in barely a whisper so Joker wouldn't hear. He turned with a small grin on his face his eyes turning to crimson.

"Contract between me and my master. But you what is your purpose?" He asked.

"I couldn't tell you if I tried." I hissed with my ears back.

"Did you say something Alari?" Joker asked turning around.

"Just making small talk." I said just as we got to Doctors tent. At the moment he was busy with Dagger the knife thrower. But he looked up when we came in.

"Joker! Is there something wrong with your arm again?" He asked.

"Nah Doc it's all good but this man was bitten by Betty. Could you take a look at him?" Joker asked.

"Of course! Just let my finish with Dagger here." He said turning back to the boy.

I didn't enjoy it in there, there was a large creepily amount of limbs and sharp looking tools that reminded me of the scientists. Inside I stayed near the entrance but off to the corner. Dagger soon came over to me and Doctor began checking the man. I ignored all of what they were saying until Doctor announced the man was fine.

"So what did you say your name was?" He asked the man in black.

"My name is Sebastian-" he was cut off just as Beast stormed into the tent complaining about her leg but the moment she saw Sebastian she went wild. Screaming about how he had ruined her show but Doctor cut her off.

"It was your own carelessness that you couldn't contain the animal Beast. You shouldn't blame the costumer." He said sternly.

"Yea yea but will you take a look at Sis's leg Doc?" Dagger said from my side. Sebastian cocked his head to the side in slight confusion.

"A lot of the members in this Circus have prosthetic limbs. They are built out of a fine ceramic material that is lightweight and very durable. The joints are that of one similar to a dolls." He said motioning for Beast to take a seat and lift up her leg.

"How interesting" Sebastian remarked and suddenly he bent down to take a closer look at her leg. But his head ended up a little to close to Beasts crotch for comfort. She shrieked,Dagger lunged and I snarled.

"How dare you touch her!" Dagger snarled pulling knifes free from his inner coat. I stood back and watched as both Dagger and Beast lunged forward.

Within moments my eyes widened to see Sebastian had avoided both of there attacks.

"Enough!" Joker called out. He turned to Beast. "I understand him for wanted to touch your pretty leg" he said giving her a fake bouquet of flowers and sending the two off.

"You are truly remarkable!" He stated to Sebastian. He nodded his thanks. "We could really use someone with your talents in the Circus!" Joker stated. Sebastian just simply nodded no. I then took my chance to slip out of the tent. I took two steps and nearly ran into someone.

"Sorry" I squeaked side stepping and stumbling but keeping my balance.

"You should watch your step says Keats" a chilled voice said. I turned meeting golden green eyes. My face instantly heated up when I realized it was Snake. He looked down at me from his 5'9 height.

"Sor...sorry" I muttered. Taking a step back. I looked back up at him to find him frowning down at me.

"Going back to your tent says Dan?" He asked. I looked up at him again to find a tiny snake the size of my index finger atop his ear and a larger one wrapped around his neck and shoulders. I nodded feeling my face heat even more.

"I'll walk you says Keats" and he started off in the first string section. I felt my heart speed up. No I cant do this. I'm falling for him harder then I should and I can't risk him getting hurt. I clenched my teeth and sighed deeply. Our tents weren't to far from each others. His stood at the entrance as sort of a guard system. The tent was always over flowing with poisonous snakes but I never minded. Snakes are like cats in ways. My tent was a few down from his beside Beasts tent. Doctor had two tents, a first aid tent in the second string area which we had just visited and his sleeping tent in the first string. We rounded the corner but Snake stopped instantly placing a hand on my shoulder and pushing me behind the nearest tent. He held up hand gesturing for me to stay. I nodded feeling my ears burn I took a step back. I pricked my ears and listened.

"Access beyond this point is restricted, I'll have to ask you to leave says Dan." I heard two pairs of foot steps leaving. I leaned against the wagon beside the tent where Snake told me to wait. The silence drove on for roughly 15 minutes till I heard footsteps coming closer. Snake poked his head around the corner of the tent.

"Who was it?" I asked standing straight and following him into the first string member area.

"The man who was bitten by Betty says Keats." He said frowning. I stopped.

"Sebastian?" I asked. He turned raising a brow. "That's his name" he then nodded.

"I don't trust him, there's something off about him. Something inhuman." I hissed placing my ears back and curling my tail. I looked at Snake meeting his eyes. He nodded and then stopped for we were out front of my tent now. This was the first real conversation I had had with him. I don't put myself close to anyone. The scientists are still looking for me and everyone I have gotten close to before I joined the circus was hurt. Since I joined I keep my distance from others with simple small words and no emotion. But hiding my emotions for Snake is hard.

"Can I ask you something?" I looked up at him. He nodded.

"Why is it when you speak you end it with the name of a snake?" I asked. He widened his eyes at me and then a very sad look crossed his face. He sighed softly, turned swiftly and walked away. Oh shit. Clearly I crossed a line. Crap I hissed and walked in to my tent. That decides it then. I will keep away from him. From them all.

Until next time!
