Eclipse's POV

The Cirque Du Freak was stationed in and around an old church. There were vans and trucks and tents everywhere. Someone could get lost just wandering through the maze. I glanced over at Sissy. She already seemed to like it. Or maybe she was just happy she finally got to eat after 5 months. Either way, she seemed pretty positive. She shoved me, giving me encouraging words to help me make my way up. At least one of us was feeling good about this situation. I wasn't. I had a bit of a sick feeling, mainly to do with our body's last meal not settling well. Slowly and surely, we made our way into the camp. Everyone seemed to be asleep, which was okay by me. I would be too.

"What now..?" I wondered quietly. Sissy shrugged.

"I could find Darren if you want me to…" That seemed like a semi decent idea, so I nodded. She sniffed the air, and then took my hand and led me through the tents and trucks and such. Finally, we snuck a look from behind a van with blacked out windows. We waited for a second, and sure enough a moment later Darren stepped out, saying, "Good night, Mr. Crepsley."

Sissy beamed, then gave me a smile and a thumbs up. I stifled a giggle. 'Well, go on!' Sissy pushed me out in the open. Darren whipped around, an alert look in his eyes.

"D-Darren..? It's me… E-Eclipse!" I squeaked out, putting my hands up. Darren blinked, squinted, and finally cried out in realization.

"Eclipse! What are you doing here?" He walked over and squeezed my hands.

"Let's just say we don't gotta home anymore," Sissy said as casually as if someone asked her about the weather. Darren looked dumbfounded.

"What do you mean, you don't have a home? Don't you guys live at the orphanage?" I shushed him quickly; I didn't want to bring any more attention to us than was necessary.

"Sissy… Well, to be frank, Sissy sort of ate the owner of the orphanage…" Darren had three looks cross his face. First confusion, then disgust, and then totally amazed.

"That is one of the grossest, most amazing things I have ever heard in my entire LIFE," he said, every word oozing with awe. I rolled my eyes, casting a look at Sissy. Of course, she was eating up every word. She loves attention.

"Anyways… um… do you think… that we-"

"We can live here, right?" I groaned, punching Sissy in the arm.

"Way to be BLUNT…"

"Well, you'd have to talk to Mr. Tall about that," Darren said with a thoughtful look. Sissy and I looked at him. Then at each other. 'Wait, is he being serious..?' I frowned and shrugged. 'How should I know..?' ''Cause you know everything' she gave me a goofy smile.

"Yeah, his van's over there," Darren continued, pointing at said van. It was parked right next to the church, in its shadow. Then he waved, turned, and left. I frowned.

"What a weird kid…" Sissy muttered.

"You can say that again… Not really," I stuck my hand in front of her mouth before she could be a smart-mouth. We walked over and I gave her another nervous look. She motioned with her head to knock. Before I could even touch the door it opened.

I will only say this once, since I'm not a big fan of cursing.

THAT is one HELLA big guy.

He was tall. I guess that's where the name came from. He also had pitch black eyes. I found those interesting. Sissy and I literally had to bend backwards to look at his face.

"Wow…" Sissy said with a little laugh.

"And who might you two young ladies be..?" Mr. Tall asked in a mysterious voice.

"U-um, I'm Eclipse… A-and this is Sissy…" To that Sissy cheekily smiled and waved. Mr. Tall didn't say anything; he just studied us with those abysmal- like eyes. For a moment, I thought he was just going to shut the door in our faces.

"Come in, Eclipse and Sissy." He said suddenly, stepping back and holding the door open for us. We blinked before Sissy shoved me in. It was a lot bigger on the inside than it looked on the outside, thought not as tall. The man's head was only inches away from scraping against the ceiling!

"Sit," He motioned to two chairs. It wasn't an invitation, more of 'I'm going to ask but you're going to do it anyways.' We sat. He sat down on the bed that was in there.

"What brings you ladies to my door so early in the morning?" He asked flat out in a pleasant voice.

"Um… weeell…" I bit my lip. How exactly do you explain that without knowing what Sissy and I are..? Sissy saw that I was having trouble thinking of an explanation, so she took over.

"Me and Eclipse are basically that same person, only if you kill 'Clipse, I take over and our body turns into a zombie's while 'Clipse's aura thing is pushed out. And the long and short of tonight is the social worker at the orphanage we lived at killed 'Clipse and pissed me off, so I took over and killed/ate her. We met Evra and Darren earlier today, and they told us about this place, so this is where I headed after we ran away. So now we're wondering if we can live here. " She could have said that in one breath, except for the fact that she didn't need to breathe. Mr. Tall didn't say anything, he actually seemed as intrigued as Darren and Evra had been.

"How fascinating. You say you two can switch your auras?" I nodded shyly. 3 people who thought we were interesting in one day? That's more than in our entire life!

"But only if I die… We can't switch back and forth randomly."

"And how many times have you actually died?" I blinked in shock. Did he really just ask me that..?

"I-I don't know… Mostly it's been done by kids at the orphanages or drunk social workers…" And so the hour went on. He would ask us different (and rather personal) questions. One of us would answer. He would ask another question. We would answer. After a while, I was getting really tired. I was still feeling sick from the flesh in my gut, not to mention that dying and then coming back to life takes a lot out of you. After yawning for the 17th time (why yes, I had been counting), Mr. Tall stood up.

"Come. We will continue after you regain some energy."

"Wait," Sissy suddenly wasn't bored anymore, "What? Does that mean we can stay?"

"If you wish. There is nothing keeping you here, but if you would like, we have room. You must do some chores in return, though."

"Of course!" Sissy and I said jumping up in unison.

"Very well, then I will show you where you can stay." He led us out of the trailer. The sun was starting to come up, and people were beginning to wake up. Most of them just glanced at us and gave a swift smile before going on with their business. I was stunned that no one was staring. That's normally what happens. We came to a tent with snakes slithering everywhere.

"You two may stay with Evra and Darren, since you already know them." Mr. Tall said.

"O-okay… Thank you, Mr. Tall!" I said politely. Sissy just nodded. I'm a little proud that she didn't make a smart remark. He nodded back and in an instant was gone. I timidly walked in. And I almost got tackled.

"HE SAID YES!" Darren roared, squeezing me in a bone crushing hug. I'm not kidding; he could've snapped my spine.

"Careful Darren!" My heart picked up a little. Evra pried Darren of with a playful scolding. Then he smiled and hugged me. It was tight, but gentle at the same time. That made my face get hot.

"I'm glad you're okay," He whispered. I could feel him smiling. That happy feeling came back, making my stomach do back flips and my head get dizzy. I smiled shyly.

"I'm fine, I-I'm just a little tired…"

"Staying up all night will do that to you," Sissy said icily, pulling me out of Evra's embrace. I gave her a glare. 'Dude, what the hey?' She didn't say anything; she just kept me close to her.

"Oh, sure! You can sleep in my bunk until we get another one in here for you," Evra said cheerfully. I responded faster than Sissy, saying that it would be great.

"We'll come get you in a few hours. Sleep well!" And with that Evra and Darren hurried out. I ignored Sissy's demands of why I let him hug me and climbed into Evra's hammock. It smelled a lot like him. I liked that. I shut my eyes with a little smile on my face.

I think I can live here…

S: *hugs Eclipse* MINE!
