Author Note: Good news- done moving stuff. Bad news- now I have to unpack.
I have the next chapter already written, but I wouldn't want to 'bury you' with all of it at once. I will update the next chapter ASAP but I don't know when I'll be able to have the free time to do so.

Chapter 3- Breaking The Rule:

Mia:

My eyes widened in horror- you've got to be kidding me. The one place I was trying to avoid too.

"Ah, mommy," Tamaki cried as he hid behind Kyoya, "our new daughter is going to the occult!"

I laughed,
"Nope! I was just seeing what they were about and now I'm here, unluckily," I muttered the last word, least there's not twenty Tamaki's like I thought…There was two guys with black hair and dark eyes but one was extremely tall and the other wore glasses. On the tall one's shoulders was a cute little blonde boy. What's he doing here? There was a brunette that looked like a chick and a set of twins.

"Who are you guys anyway," I asked as I tilted my head to the side in curiosity. I heard Nori Katsu muttering under his breath and Nekozawa cursing the host club. Nekozawa quickly shut the door, however, Katsu was left on the wrong side. Great, we're both stuck in here until we make a break for it. I doubt Nekozawa will open that door again since the twins were holding flashlights. It doesn't take a genius to figure out Nekozawa hates the light…maybe he's scared of it too…Huh..

"Ah, darling princess," Tamaki said as he kissed my hand, "We are the darling host club- where the girls of Ouran with too much time on their hands come to be dazzled by us, who also have too much time on our hands."
"I said don't touch me pervert," I growled taking away my hand, "and that doesn't answer who you are!"

Tamaki was in the corner sulking. The twins were laughing their heads off. Tamaki junior came up to me to me,
"Who are you?"
"Amity Mia," I replied, "The new student. I'm here on a dance scholarship, by the way."
"Don't be fooled by them," Katsu whispered to me, "They all are devious…"
I giggled,
"Don't worry Katsu-kun! I can take care of myself," I puffed out my chest and flexed my arms for emphasis. He looked at me amused,
"Nevertheless be careful…"

He slipped into the Black Magic Room. I pouted, who did he get in? He left me here with the evilly men!

"Wow," the twins said, "that's the most I've seen that guy talk."

They put their arms on my shoulders,

"You must be pretty special."

"GET YOUR HANDS OFF ME," I shoved them off, "I STILL DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO YOU ARE!"

"Very well," Shadow Guy said as he pushed up his glasses, "I'm Ootori Kyoya known as the 'cool' type, this is Souh Tamaki the 'princely' type Fujiko Haruhi the 'natural', the twins Hitachii Kaoru and Hikaru the 'devilish' types, Morinozuka Takashi, known as Mori and is the 'wild and silent' type, and Haninozuka Mitsukuni known as 'Hunny' the 'boy-lolita'. However, the host club is closed so I have to ask you to leave."

Okay so Shadow Guy is Kyoya. Pervert is Tamaki. The devils are Hikaru and Kaoru. Tamaki-junior is Hunny. Takashi is Sasquatch. Haruhi is the chick. I think I got it. The twins were pouting and saying something about 'finding a new toy.' I wasn't paying attention to them though. I stuck out my tongue,
"Good I wanna leave anyway."
"Noo mommy," Tamaki cried, "You made her upset! Now she hates us!"

Wait that means Kyoya is Mommy. His nickname is now Momma. I shook my head,
"I don't hate you, I'm just annoyed," I laughed, "Just please, don't touch me, okay?"
Tamaki nodded eagerly. Hunny came up,
"Would you like some cake, Mia-chan?"
"Cake? Woo-hoo," I cheered.

Third Person:

Sophia waited in the alley patiently. She knew Mia would show up there eventually and it was after school. In fact, it was really after school. A part of her was starting to get concerned, but she couldn't search for her. If someone that went to Ouran saw her, it could complicate things.

When Mia finally got back, it was a good four hours after school ended. Mia gulped when she saw Sophia standing there all scary-looking with her arms crossed over her chest,
"Where have you been?"

Mia winced. Okay what can I tell her? The Black Magic Club isn't that important. Host Club isn't important. I mean, it's not like we're all friends or anything and there's nothing for her to worry about…

"I was talking to someone," Mia answered carefully, but she didn't like- her sister always knew when she was lying. Besides, I don't think I broke the rule or any of the rules.

"Who," Sophia asked sternly, "who were you talking to?"
"A guy named Nori Katsu, he's actually pretty nice and no, I didn't get too close to him- I mean, we're not friends," even if I did call him Katsu-kun…hehe…opps.

Sophia sighed and looked at Mia sternly,

"You have to be careful, got it? Don't get too friendly. And do not be late coming back unless there's a dance recital."
"Awe, you were worried," Mia cued and Sophia scowled,

"I'm not a child. Don't talk to me like one."
Mia giggled,

"Usually the roles are switched, usually it's you talking to me like I'm a kid."
"That's because you act like one," Sophia pointed out. Mia pouted, but she knew that Sophia meant well because Sophia's eyes were sparkling in amusement.

"And there's something I need to tell you," Mia said nervously, "I sort of…broke a tea set…and as payment I have to be in the host club."

Sophia blinked in shocked,
"….twin-say-what-now?"

Mia laughed, when she says things like that you can totally tell we're friends!

That night, Sophia was still awake. She had too many things running around in her mind. Mia had apparently met some people- people that Sophia would have to recognize, people with names like Nori Katsu and Nekozawa. Mia had also apparently broke a tea set and had to be in a host club- whatever that was. She sighed, at least it won't interfere with dance recitals from what she tells me because she made a deal with the Kyoya person. Sophia looked down as Mia thrashed in her sleep, whimpering. Sophia held her close comfortingly,

"It's okay Mimi," Sophia said softly, using Mia's old nickname that Mom used to call her, "Shh…it's okay."

Mia whimpered as the Ringmaster stood in front of her.

"You were terrible! Disgusting!"
He slapped her face hard and she bit her lip. Considering that he could've done worse, she would take the slap. She hoped she wouldn't have to take it too much longer though. He grabbed the whip and slashed her and she felt blood in her mouth from biting her lip too hard. Sophia ran in horrified. She ran in front of her sister and held out her arm. The whip hit her instead,
"Stop! Please! Stop!"
"You're just as bad as her," Ringmaster spat, "Be thankful I was done with punishment. I'm feeling grateful today."

He walked away without so much as looking back. Sophia held her twin,
"Are you okay, Mia?"
"Why does he hurt us," Mia whimpered, "Why? What did I do? What did
we do?"
"We didn't do anything," Sophia said sternly, "Ringmaster is a monster and terrible."
"But why don't we leave," Mia cried, "why can't we just leave? We don't have to take it anymore."

Sophia's jaw tightened,
"We can't leave Mia. I'm sorry, but we can't."

"I'm sorry," Sophia said to Mia. Mia eventually calmed down and went into a more peaceful dream. Sophia knew what was she was dreaming about- the circus. Sophia knew that Mia knew why they couldn't leave at first- the circus was all they knew. The circus was their home. It was where their parents were raised and where Mia and Sophia were born. They grew up with their parents, the previous Ringmaster, the lions, the bearded lady- everyone.

But things got bad when their parents died from a shooting when Mia and Sophia were twelve. Someone had come into the tent with a gun. No one knew how he got past security, just that he had come in with a gun, shot some people, and then shot himself. He was later identified as Jenson Collins, a mental disturbed man that suffered from depression and was mentally insane.

Mia didn't remember though- how could she? Her brain blocked it out and the psychologist at the circus (hired when the mimes complained that they didn't have anyone to talk to) diagnosed her with PTSD (Post Traumatic Sress Disorder) and diagnosed Sophia with emotional trauma.

The previous Ringmaster, the man that was practically their uncle, also died in that shooting. After his death, the current Ringmaster- the evil monster that Mia and Sophia had hated from the first day- took over. He was apparently the previous Ringmaster's grandson. At first, he was alright. He was subtle with just warnings to everyone, firing the psychologist, and taking precautions. When Sophia and Mia refused to call him Ringmaster, he had turned violent towards them. He wasn't scared to hold back because he knew that Mia and Sophia couldn't leave. He was a monster- simple as that. He abused them, raped them, and they couldn't do anything about it. Phil and his son were the only ones that knew about the abuse. Phil never told because Mia and Sophia had begged him not to- they were scared and frightened that Ringmaster would kill Phil, something that they always suspected that Ringmaster was capable of.

However, Sophia always did work on a plan of escape. She worked on gathering friends outside the Circus- some were mostly random, but some had a bit of powerful. Her friends were elderly, but they had a lot of powerful. She made it a plan to befriend the businessmen that came to the circus. They felt a bit sorry for Sophia because they labeled her as 'a bright, young girl that has a bright future ahead.' Of course, she didn't tell Mia because she was a bit frightened that Mia wouldn't want to leave James. Sophia knew that Mia viewed James like a brother.

Then Mia revealed that she was thinking about leaving the circus. Sophia tried to discourage it and tried to squash the idea in Mia's head, but when that didn't work- she accepted that Mia was finally able to be at peace with the past and deal with leaving the circus. So, she had contacted her friends and the businessmen were eager to help. Sophia did lie a bit, but in the end- it did land her with a scholarship to Ouran. It was a start and for that she was thankful. Sophia was determined to never let anything hurt her or her twin ever again.

"I love you, sissy," Mia whispered as she hugged her twin in her sleep.

Sophia smiled softly,
"I love you too, Mimi."
