When Rose got up she was on the stage before the speakers turned on again “Welcome to the circus!! This is Rose’” Unlike last time she was in a clown uniform but that wasn't the most of her concerns what happened to Blix and was she having some kind of weird dream or was this somehow real? Her thoughts left suddenly when she started to look around there were lots of people watching her and three balls one red and the two others blue and yellow. Rose picked them up and juggled. what she was standing on started to rise but she wasn't expecting it she began to wobble and dropped the blue ball and something grabbed it she couldn't see it but it sort of looked like Bella's hand at this sight her body shook she looked at the audience and juggled. after a bit more juggling she passed out again and awoken deeper in the abandoned circus than before.

Before Rose could react there were foot steppes nearby she found a spot to hide and whoever was there didn't see her and walked away when Rose didn't hear the steps she left the hiding spot still wondering what thing from before and who the person was that past her she started to walk around quietly and cautiously but stepped on a loud piece of paper and hide again

“Hello? Is anyone there”

a voice she didn't recognize said it wasnt Bella which was a good sign but it was a bad thing that she didn't know who it was they can be more of a danger than Bella

“please don't be scared of me”

It said trying to comfort Rose the thing found Rose's hiding spot “Hi” it was a mouse in old time-ish clothing Rose tried to get away but where she was in a spot with one exit and the mouse was blocking it.

“What do you want,” Rose said tripping on her words “I want to get you out of here all safe and snug in your home your sister might be a fish out of water far far away from water at this point,” the mouse said posing “what do you mean shes a fish out of water?” Rose asked “People do not want to see a cat animatronic walking around all willy-nilly people will go crazy your sister isn't going to live the same if she leaves here” Rose had never thought of it that way she looked away “Oh and by the way, my name is Lily its good to meet you, Rose! Bella told me all about you a few years back” Rose's eyes widened in shock

“Years?” she stumbled on her words again

“Yes! Anyway, we better hop to it I can leave because I'm smaller and less noticeable!” Rose went out of her hiding place and picked up Lily. Lily went on Rose's shoulder “I'll be your tiny comrade I'll help you with everything I'm able to which is a lot “ “Why do you want to get out suddenly? You were here for years right” I want to scavenge the world and be free all the things Bella told me about you have gotten me flattered” “How does Bella know so much about me?” “Do you remember when you came to the carnival all that time back?” “Yeah?” ” You grabbed a stalking device” “ Huh?!” that was unexpected Rose thought that Bella was following her “Do you know where Blix is?” her attention going away from the stalking device “I don't know” Lily replied “Most likely a-ok relaxing in the circus,” she said buoyantly

“So do you know what happened before I passed out?”

“Nope”

Lily wasn't there to see it maybe Lily likes to spend her time father in the circus suddenly Rose heard a footstep behind her she turned her head swiftly but she didn't see anything “Hey be more careful you almost swung me off” Lily was holding a piece of hair Rose quickly helped pushed her up

“I'm sorry I just thought I-”

another footstep was heard she started to walk swiftly in the opposite direction of the noise and Rose hid the footsteps stopped it was Blix all Rose could see was Blix's legs until Blix fell to her knees still not noticing Rose and ripped her face and mouth with her claws and shoved something in her new mouth “...” she put in a voice box but where did she get that? Blix noticed Lily

“ Oh, I didn't see you there I'm sorry you had to see that,”

Blix said with her Vocaloid sounding new voice “Don't apologize to me silly” Lily stared at Rose's hiding spot and Rose ran away  “Rose wait!” Blix said reaching out her hand and trying to follow Rose but it was hard to because of how fast she was and how the shirt she was wearing slightly blended in with the colors of the circus she lost Rose after outrunning Blix and hit a two-way split and Rose picked the left way and blix not knowing where she went, Went right after some running

Rose started to feel light-headed

she looked back and after hearing no one was there she began to process what happened her sister surely wanted to exit the circus.

Still, Rose didn't want to tell her, and knowing she was able to reach metal she didn't want to stay with her for too long now that Rose thought about it it was an idiotic idea to leave the two people she knew were not hostile this whole thing was a lot for her. she wasn't expecting this sudden gust if sleepiness hit her this is probably the worst place to sleep she needed to fines somewhere more hidden to sleep which seemed like another pain for Rose yet she needed to get it over with she grabbed a cloth and a long table and put the fabric on the table she grabbed more fabric not caring why it was there and went under the table with the fabric from before and sat down and used the fabric as a cover she started to drift to bed. She woke up from a loud clang nearby.

“I KNOW YOU'RE HERE SOMEWHERE! YOU WOULDN'T LEAVE ME! Wouldn't you…?”

Rose gasped then covered her mouth It was Bella…

No, no, no….

why was she here Rose was wondering how long was she asleep, Bella was flipping over things and looking in hiding spots the more she looked the more frantic and annoyed she became finally Bella found Rose “I KNEW IT!!! you ran away to find me of course Hahahaa! Too bad it was all for nothing~ you're with me now!” Rose had a scared expression growing on her face as her eyes filled with tears “Leave me alone! PLEASE!” Bella stared happily “were going to have so so so much fun” Rose held her bat trying to threaten Bella

Blix ran in hearing talking hoping it was Rose

Blix rushed into action pushing Bella into some scrapes nearby and then grabbed Rose. Rose got punctured by Blix’s claws when she grabbed her forcefully but Rose didn't care she was just thankful that Blix came

Lily ran in hearing the commotion and Bella got up and lunged at Blix angrily making Blix let go of Rose then they were fighting. Lily came to Rose poked her and signaled that they had to go

Rose got up and followed Lily out of the room “Now that we're all alone… why did you think it was a good idea to run like that me and Blix were worried sick!” Rose jumped at the sudden change in tone and then looked away with a sigh  “I-I don’t know-”

“THINK BEFORE YOU ACT ROSE!! YOU COULD HAVE DIED GOSH DANG IT!!! ( I can’t write curse words when the school can see this)”

Rose didn't dare to look at her it was silent for at least 50 seconds between them Lily stopped the silence  “I'm sorry for yelling but please take it to heart I don't know why Bella's acting this way all of a sudden but she's ruthless and I care about you Rose… you don't deserve to die.”

Rose sighed yet again “I’m sorry Lily I should have known better than to leave you guys but I have to ask a question.”
