Chapter 5

I woke up, a little groggy and irritated from sleeping on the ground. I looked over at Evra to find him still asleep. Then I glanced over at my cot to find it empty. My worried eyes searched the tent but there was no sign of Jenn.

Was it a dream? It couldn't have been since her scent was still fresh on my cot. Did she leave? Her bag was gone but the shirt and pants she wore yesterday still rested on the ground at the foot of the cot. I got up and managed to wake Evra.

"What do you want?" he asked in a scratchy tone. "Can't you see I'm sleeping?"

"Evra, wake up! This is important!" I shook his scaly arm. "Jenn is missing!"

Evra pulled the blanket over his head. "Why should I care? She's not that important."

Enraged, I pulled the blanket out of his hands. "You're going to help me find her."

Evra looked surprised at my serious tone then calmly said, "Fine, but you owe me."

+-+-+-+-+

It was almost midnight and there was no sign of Jenn. We even asked some of the cirque members, including Mr. Crepsley and Mr. Tall. I could tell both of them knew about her whereabouts but would say a single word no matter how much we pestered them.

Evra and I sat backstage in a theater. The Cirque was having another show and the audience was huge!

"So what are you gonna do if we can't find your girlfriend?" Evra said tired from our search.

"She's not my girlfriend!" I shouted feeling a little embarrassed. Just then I caught a scent of something sweet like vanilla. I walked towards the curtain and glanced over the entire audience. There were several mixed expressions, most of them containing excitement. But only person, or should I say people, who stood out the most were two girls in the back of the theater.

The first girl was small and looked very young. She had long black hair with white streaks that fell down to her lower back. Her bangs were parted to the side revealing the small, innocent face from last night. Jenn! It was the only face exactly like mine's, except she had dark brown eyes. What happened to her? She changed everything, her hair, even her clothes. The purple dress she slept in was now replaced with a white short silk dress overlapped with black lace. She does look prettier. I quickly shook the thought out of my head and looked over at the girl Jenn spoke to.

The second girl was taller and looked older than Jenn's physical age. She had brown hair that fell over her shoulders with side bangs. Her eyes were a very bright blue and she had freckles on her cheeks.

"Whoa! Is that Jenn?" Evra was now standing next to me peeking out the curtain.

"Yeah, I know," I sighed looking back at Jenn.

"Is she crazy?!"

I looked at Evra with a shocked expression. "What?"

"She dyed her hair and is wearing a fancy dress," he pointed out. "Obviously she has some problems." His eyes then widened when he caught a glimpse of the girl next to Jenn. "Well, what do we have here?" he said in a lustful tone.

I rolled my eyes. "Great. Now you like someone."

Evra snickered. "Well at least I'm not afraid to admit it."

I ignored him diverted my attention back to Jenn and the blue eyed girl. Jenn place a medium sized box covered with a black cloth in the girl's hands. What are they talking about? I walked a little closer to the edge of the curtain. That's when I noticed something on Jenn's head twitched. She immediately turned her head to the corner of the curtain I was hiding in. She spotted me. The little girl ran out of the doors as fast as she could. I jumped off the stage and flitted past the audience to the lobby where she was making a break for the front doors. I grabbed her arm and held her against the wall.

"Where were you?" I asked , glaring at her emotionless brown eyes.

Darren: You changed your look?

KuroiMochi: Yup! I luv it! ^^

Darren: You're dumb...

KuroiMochi: HEY!

Darren: And how come I like your blood? Isn't cat blood poisoness to vampires?

KuroiMochi: Silly Darren. My character isn't a cat. You seriously have problems with identifying animals.

Darren: Shut up.....wait. If you're not a cat, then what are you?

KuroiMochi: Wait till the next chapter! XP
