Chapter 5

I got back to the cirque with half an hour to spare before the show. The first place I went was to look for Evra and Victoria was the Theater's basement, and right there they were on the floor with Evra's giant snake, Evra was stretching probably getting ready for the show.

I walked over silently than tapped Victoria on the shoulder (since she wasn't in the mouth of a giant snake that could otherwise eat me whole). Victoria instantly turned around, saw who tapped her and then lunged straight for me, bringing me down to the ground my head hitting the concrete floor with a loud smack.

I now had a mind splitting headache that threatened to crack open my skull and it was going to be there during the show making it hard for me to do my act. My eyes were closed but when I opened them I saw a small girl, red eyes on the verge of tears and a snake boy looking down at me a look of pleasure written all over his face.

Slowly I started to get up, stopping whenever a wave of nausea hit. Once I was fully sitting up Evra spoke "So where's my pay?" I started crawling over to the spot where I had placed the stuff that I had just bought today, glad that I placed them on the ground before I tapped Victoria on the shoulder. Both Evra and Victoria followed me over to the treasures that I had brought back with me.

I gave Victoria her small bag of candy glad to see happiness spread across her face. Then I handed Evra his candy and the two boxes. He didn't seem interested in the candy at all; he was more interest in what he might find in the two boxes. As he sat down on the ground an image went through my mind of a small child on Christmas day opening presents somewhat like the ones I read about in books, it was kind of funny because he had told me himself that he had never celebrated Christmas and found the concept of it kind of stupid, and I had to side with him on that one.

He carefully opened the boxes than looked inside, a look of pure happiness spread across his face once he saw the snakes and I knew that I had made the right choice. Knowing this I made a mental note to myself, that if I ever owed Evra again for doing another favor for me, I should just get him another snake.

He pulled out the snakes and admire them "What should I name them?' he said to himself more than to anyone else. I thought that it was about time that we got upstairs and finished getting ready for the show, so I tapped Evra on the shoulder, once he turned around I pointed to the ceiling, hoping that he would get what the gesture meant.

He stared at me for a minute than suddenly recognition dawned on his face once he got the gesture. "Yeah we should probably go up and get ready." After he said that he placed the snakes back into their boxes and stood up.

"Well we better get going than." I turned and grabbed Victoria by the wrist and lead her to the area I slept in during the night. "What but I thought we had to go upstairs." I nodded and pointed to my sleeping quarters instead. "What do you need over there?" I continued to pull her after me which wasn't that hard to do considering how much she weighed.

When we got to my sleeping area I opened my large duffel bag that carried all my belonging which wasn't that much to begin with. Reaching in I pulled out a somewhat large bundle of grayish blue cloth and handed it to my small confused friend. Victoria than unraveled the bundle to reveal a blue cloak just like the ones that the little people always wore, and never took off from what we've seen every time they show up.

Victoria's smile almost covered up her entire face as she tried it on. "Thanks now I won't get asked half as many questions." She paused than continued in a whisper "Hopefully that is."

I made the cloak because Victoria usually helps the little people pass out souvenirs and somehow the viewers knew the little people were different, so most of the time instead of talking to them and asking them questions they would ask her questions. After the first few shows she started to get uncomfortable of all the questions, so that's why I made this cloak on and its hood up the viewers would leave her alone.

With the cloak now in place and the hood up she could pass for a little person it's just that she was a little taller than most little people. I inspected the cloak for any loose threads but found none, I checked the height of it and saw that it went past her feet, and so she'd have to be careful not to trip on the hem. I saw nothing else wrong with it so I nodded my head and pulled her again till we were up the stairs.

Upstairs we ran into Mr. Tall, this man is why I was always on edge at the cirque because this tall man would usually come up out of nowhere. Mr. Tall greeted us as usual than his gaze traveled down to the 'little person' standing between Evra and myself.

"And when did this one show up? It's a probably just a straggler." Victoria and Evra both started laughing where the whole cirque probably heard them while I on the other hand saw this coming so I just silently laughed to myself.

Removing the hood Victoria revealed that it was just a costume. "Mia made it for me." Mr. Tall looked again and said "She did a good job one could almost mistake you for a little person," he paused and cleared his throat than continued. "I myself should know." Once again we started laughing and this time I didn't hold it in, but we soon composed ourselves enough to make our way back stage.

The Show went on without a hitch, my favorite thing about the whole thing was watching the audiences expressions go from terror to awe with every act change. During my act I picked random people sitting in the audience and shifted my features to theirs than I shifted back and shifted again only this time into different animals, than to end my act I shifted my shape into cirque members that had already went on.

In my point of view though, my act wasn't nearly as exciting as some of the other acts. After the show Evra, Victoria, and I went straight to the basement. Evra curled up in his snake and fell asleep with his eyes open. Victoria on the other hand fell to the ground so hard one would think that that she just died on the spot. I on the other hand sifted my features to that of a bog and curled up on the floor by my stuff. The last thought that went through my head was that in the morning when I woke up I would wake up to monstrous cramps.

A.N. yeah a short chapter I know but what can I do really. yeah I know I can lengthen it but than I need to find a whole new stopping point and I would rather not do that so just keep reading plz I need people to read this and for those of you who are reading this thank you. And I hope you guys liked the idea of Victoria and her cloak cause I certainly do tell me what you think.

Okay to all of you who are reading this and like it if you want the next chapter up sooner than i would like to see at least three reveiws otherwise i will continue to go at my slow typing pace and you can all suffer. KAY :D
