Next Chapter I do not own Cirque Du Freak! Here is the story!
As I followed the man to wherever he was going I had another vision.
"HIBERNIUS!!" the girl screamed. She ran to his side.
"Who did this to you?" She asked outraged.
"Fate…Fate did this to me." He shuddered as she looked over his wounds.
She looked up and saw two men running away. One had purple skin and the other looked like a human. One was a Vampaneze for sure. The other was most likely a vampet.
She took out two revolvers and at that same moment she ran at an amazing speed at them. Her eyes had no happiness in them. All that was left was darkness. Her heart told her to help Hibernius first, but she was not going to let those demons get away.
I quickly snapped out of it. All these visions (I call them) I keep having seemed so familiar. Like I was apart of them, it seemed so strange. Finally the man led me into a huge caravan. Once inside I saw posters and pamphlets in many different languages for Cirque Du Freak. At a desk in the middle of the room was the tall man. He was counting money. He looked up.
"Send her in, Larten." He said standing up. "Turn around one time." I did as I was told. I tried to focus on his thoughts, but heard nothing. He chuckled. The man named Larten left he said he had business to attend to.
"You are a mind reader? Why didn't I notice before?" he asked to no one in particular. He observed me for a few moments.
"You have an interesting mind."
"YOU ARE A MIND READER TOO??"
"Why yes I am." He said as calmly as a person could get. Geez! This man was weird!
"Thanks For the compliment." He replied. Oh Crap, he heard me.
"Emma…Answer me this. How long have you known about your power?" He asked curiously.
"Since I was 9." I replied.
"Did you know there is a way for you to clear your mind so no other mind reader can read you?" he asked.
"No, I did not..." I admitted ashamed.
"No need to be ashamed. We all have our faults." He remarked. "Unfortunately your foster mother has it the worst. I could tell you what you would have grown up to be."
"Tell me!?" I demanded.
"That is not permitted, but it would have been something so amazing. Well that's her loss. Now I have to ask you... Are you happy?" he asked. I thought for a moment. Was I truly happy? My own foster mother wanted to abandon me in a run down neighbor hood. I am staying in a secret room hidden….none of that was happiness... I want so much more then this.
"No…. I am not. I want out of this town so bad…."
"What about your friend though? What would she think of you leaving with some strange man you barely even know? Would she approve? Think Emma, Your friend would be miserable. I know something about her that she doesn't tell anyone. It would be in your best interest to tell her to come with you." He explained to me.
"What is wrong with her?" I asked upset that I didn't know about her secret.
"Her dad her beats her. It makes me angry to see a child hurt, but I really can't do anything. I cannot interfere. That's why I want you to help her." He said.
"Why didn't she ever tell me?" I yelled with tears in my eyes. My own friend was being beat by her dad and she didn't even tell me so I could help!
"Emma, calm down please… She is afraid of him. Put yourself in her place. Would you tell anyone?" he asked me gently.
"No… I guess not." I replied angrily. "Um….so when do we leave after I get her?" I asked.
"That exact moment we will leave for another town." He said. Just as he said that a knock came on the door. It was the snake boy!
"MR.TALL! COME QUICK! The wolf man is chasing a girl just around the theater!" I was up before anyone was. It had to be Yogi! Once I reached the stage sure enough it was her screaming for help. I picked up a piece of wood that was lying on the dusty floor.
"Over Here! Oi! Wolf!" I threw the wood at him. He turned around and had a bloodthirsty look in his eyes. I ran for it! I could hear him howling as he chased me. I knew any minute he would catch me and tear me apart limb by limb. I turned around to look for something to hit him with. Anything! There was nothing in sight. Suddenly, I felt him on top of me. His eyes made me cringe and his breath made me want to pass out. I knew I couldn't though. I had to help Yogi! I tried pushing him off me. He wouldn't budge!
I slapped the wolf man in the face. (I know stupid thing to do.)Then he hit me so hard I passed out. When I woke up, he was no longer on top of me. I breathed a sight of relief. YOGI! Where is she! I heard a;
"Crunch"
"Tear"
"Whimper"
"OH MY GOD YOGI!" I stood up and began scanning the room frantically. "Oh god! Please yogi be alive!" I thought to myself. Then I saw….the wolf man and Yogi were in between the first and second rows of seats in the theater. She was whimpering as he tore more and more of her open.
"Get OFF OF HER!" I screamed throwing myself at the wolf man. I closed my eyes. I thought it was all over for me, but when I opened my eyes the wolf man was else where. I took this time to get to Yogi. I started sobbing. Poor Yogi. Her stomach was ripped open and insides were all around her body. Some of her organs were over her shoulders; I could see her heart pumping very slowly. There was blood every where. She was dying and there was nothing I could do.
"Yogi….."I choked out.
"Em – m – a, am I --going—to die?" she asked chocking on blood. I didn't know what to tell her. What do you tell someone when they are in a condition like this? Let me re ask that, do you have the heart to tell someone they are going to die? I knew there was no hope. My best friend was bleeding to death and nothing could help her.
"Yogi….I don't know." That's all I could say, I was going to tell her she was going to be ok. That would have been lying and nobody could really lie in a situation like this.
"Em-- you haaave be-en a good friend." That was the last thing Yogi said. I wanted to die. I did nothing I didn't save her. I didn't even help.
"Oh gods please end all now." I thought to myself.
