Chapter 3= New Faces

'Why do we need to perform acts?' Kitty questioned.

'For the circus dear!' Arabella cried. 'Vhat can you girls do then?'

'Well... I can sing,' Kyla offered, earning some bemused looks.

'That's good. You can go. I'll send Bruno to get you for an 'audition' later,'

'Sure, bye guys,' she said turning round and heading back to her tent. As she approached she saw Kurt slowly coming out of his and called to him; 'You missed breakfast,'

'Vhat? No!' He cried as he began to run towards the food which was being cleared away. Kyla laughed her soft and bell-like laugh, before continuing into her tent.

It was two hours before Bruno, the strongman of the circus, made knocking sounds outside of her tent. Kyla poked her head through the flap, then fully emerged, stood up and told Bruno to 'lead the way.' He took her to a large tent where Arabella met her and led her inside.

'So sing please,'

'What do I sing though?' asked Kyla, confused.

'Anything. Anything at all,' came the reply.

'Okay...'

An hour later Kyla came out of the tent, grinning like a Cheshire cat. She was immediately pushed out of the way by Arabella who was rushing off squealing like child.

'Woah!' Tabitha exclaimed. 'You must've been amazing!'

'Well... You'll just have to see in the show. I'm not allowed to sing for anyone, until then,'

'Aww...' Kitty sighed, disappointed.

'Don't vorry, Kitty,' Kurt grinned putting an arm around her. 'You vill be at the show,'

'Wow, he's good,' Kyla said, as she watched, yet another trapeze jump from Kurt.

'Yeah, like amazing,' Kitty agreed.

'Okay, Kurt!' Benjamin called. 'That's it for now,'

'Coming!' Kurt yelled, swinging down to meet them.

'That was amazing Kurt!' Tabitha gushed, as they walked outside.

'Like, absolutely fantastic!' Kitty babbled.

'And vhat did you think, Kyla?' he turned to her hopefully.

'Not bad, elf. Not bad,' she granted, earning her a fanged smile.

'Hello Kurt,' a voice called out. Kurt's eyes widened and he told the girls to hurry up. 'Remember me?' the same voice asked.

'Hurry up! How slow can you be?' Kurt called to them.

'Why?' Kyla yelled back. 'What's wrong? Who is that?'

'It doesn't matter!'

'Stop!' she shouted at him. 'I want to know what's going on!'

'Kurt!' cried the voice, which Kyla now saw the owner of. A teenage girl with curly ginger hair. 'Who are these people?' she said signalling towards Kyla, Kitty and Tabitha.

'Not now Lara! This is Kyla, Tabitha and Kitty. Now let us go!' Kurt snapped at her.

'But Kurt! Surely you should be happier to see me than that!' Lara questioned him.

'Not really. You... well... (I'm not in love with you anymore)' Kurt whispered in German.

'But...' Lara stuttered, before her gaze turned to Kitty, Tabitha and Kyla, who were looking at Kurt with confusion. '(Not one of them, surely Kurt?)'

'I don't know Lara! I just don't know,' he cried, earning even more confused looks.

'Kurt...' Kyla stepped forward. 'Can you tell us what's going on?'

'Uh...' Kurt blushed so his fur looked purple. 'This- this is Lara,'

'I am,' Lara interrupted. 'Vhat are you doing in Germany?'

'We're with Kurt. Visiting his family,' Tabitha cut in.

'Yeah, yeah whatever,' Lara said, waving the words aside.

'Well if you don't think it's important, then why the hell did you ask?' Kyla asked angrily.

'(Feisty)' Lara said in German to Kurt, before beginning to walk off.

'Hey, I'm still waiting for an answer. Or are you just scared I'll slap you in the face with it?' Kyla hollered after her. When receiving no answer she sighed and walked back to camp, ignoring the amazed looks on every one's faces. She wasn't usually this violent.

'She must, like, really not like her,' Kitty decided, before they all ran back to camp.

Later that day, Kyla lay on her bed wondering why it was that she had gotten so angry with that girl.

'What's wrong with me?' she questioned herself. 'Am I going mad? It seems like it...'
