Darren's POV
I watched the small sleeping form of the teenage girl ,
well in all honesty she wouldn't look so small at normal level but I'm sitting at the top of a tree.
First of all your probably wondering how I'm at the top of a tree, and 2 why I'm watching this girl from up here.
Well my name is Darren Shan and I'm half vampire, that explains how i got up there, as for why that's a longer story.
It all started a few days ago, at Cirque du freak, the freak show i work at, The girl I'm watching had came up to the ticket booth with a poster and purchased two tickets,
nothing strange about that huh? well not so much. I was working the ticket booth with Mr. Crepsley, the full vampire who turned me, when she showed up. As soon as she
walked towards the ticket booth Mr. Crepsley stiffened and stared at her. The girl seemed to notice and her gaze flickered between me and him the entire time she got her tickets.
when she turned around to leave I was going to as her why she was going when the show was starting in less than a half an hour
but she was gone before i could say any thing,
but she did show up for the show with a nervous looking teenage boy with raven black hair with show white streaks in it.
when I saw him the first thing i noticed where his eyes no those can't possibly be real i had thought they have to be contacts or something
because his eyes weren't a normal shade of blue,or green, or even black. they where golden yellow, like a cat's eyes . Anyways i kept an eye on them during
the show. The guy gasped silently a lot but the girl just stared. the most interesting thing was when they brought out the wolf man.
there was definitely a change in her demeanor, she looked at the wolf man with almost... sympathy? and maybe a little disgusted.
It was a strange look to see on someone's face. After the show she went back stage to talk to Mr. Tall, Evra Von and I had volunteered to clean up to snoop on the conversation.
it was really long but we only got one bit of the conversation before Mr. Tall and the girl moved the conversation to his trailer. "right now they think your just an ordinary freak show, but we both know otherwise, you need to try and stay low so they don't suspect otherwise." the girl had said.
It was awhile before we saw Mr. Tall or the girl again. when we did Mr. Tall had brought her to our trailer ,she was with a small boy of about 6 years old and that guy i had seen with her at that night's show.
"Evra, Darren I'd like you to meet Ace, Kara, and Toby" he said gesturing to each one in turn "they're going to be traveling with the Cirque for a few weeks, they be bunking in until we can figure things out."
