[17] she bit him 😦😦

"Ladies and gents! Boy and Girls of all ages, welcome to the Noah's Ark Circus!" Joker announced the start of the show as you stood in the back, waiting for him to introduce himself before Beast tapped your arm. The signal to run out with her to pose before Jumbo started off the show.

"And now, with broze from our very own fire breathing Jumbo, let the show if the century begin!" Joker shouted as Jumbo yelled before breathing fire as rehearsed, signalling for you all to get off stage.

"Alright! 'feel like today 's gonna be a great show!" Dagger cheered as you sat down next to Betty who was out of her cage and resting her head in your lap while you fed her some treats and scratched her head.

"I'm sure we'll all do as good as we usually do." You encouraged with a smile. "I heard Dagger caught you some one of the members." Doll commented as you brushed it off. "I don't know who she is. I was just getting ready when she barged in and just stared at me." You said in a creeped out tone before shivering.

"Last but not least we have the brightest stars of our troupe!" Joker started as you did your tricks through the fire rings and stood on your feet perfectly and waited for Betty to reach the other side.

"I bring yeh the charming butterfly and the famous tamer of wild cats!" She lowered herself as usual as you sat on her back carefully and allowed her to take you through the rings once more as you and Beast did your usual poses while Betty laid down with a roar.

"Beauty and Beast!" Joker finished as the crowd applauded and cheered for you three.

"This very special act calls for some audience participation. Are there any volunteers, then?" Joker asked around when a man in a tailcoat stood up. "Hohoho! The gent in the tailcoat there sure looks eager, eh? Please, come up on stage!" Joker called for him as you paid attention to the man's feature and realized it was Sebastian!

"Well? Step right on up, sir." Joker instructed him as he walked down the steps and over the two borders. You got off Betty and looked where he was once sitting to see your brother in the next seat over.

He got halfway to you four as Joker began "Very good, sir. Now, if yeh'll please lie down-" Sebastian walked past him, ignoring him and walking past you and Beast as you both looked at him in curiosity as everyone else did. He then kneeled down in front of Betty and began touching up on her.

"Oh! Those big round eyes positively glow! Your ears are so soft!" He praised her as everyone gasped in shock. "I've never seen such vivid black strips before. Breathtaking! Oh dear, your claws have gotten a bit too big, haven't they? We shall have to groom them, then." He added a pout in his voice as he admired the tiger.

"I'm glad that she's staying still at least..." you whispered to Beast as she nodded. "Attractively plump paw pads! I hope you'll pardon my saying so." Sebastian told her as he looked up at her with a smile and she opened her mouth and bit Sebastian's head. "Oh?"

The crowd started screaming and crying, thinking Betty would bite his head off as Beast took action.

"Release that man immediately, Betty!" Beast ordered as she swung her whip but it was caught by Sebastian's hand.

"She's done nothing to warrant punishment. The fault lies with me. I was overcome by her beauty, I behaved rudely. Furthermore, I doubt that indiscriminate whipping will prove an effective way to tame her." Sebastian commented as Beast puffed up in embarrassment.

Then, Betty leaped up on Sebastian's shoulders and bit down on his head as the crowd screamed in fear once more. "Betty! Spit 'im out this instant!"

"Goodness! Today was certainly an entertaining show." You commented after the show was finished. "Really! That bloke thought it was alright to embarrass me in front 'f all those people!" Beast complained as she was still mad about earlier.

"Oi, I'm gonna go look for 'im, check if he's alright, you guys go on ahead." Joker dismissed you all as you were about to head back to your tent when Snake stopped you.

"'I think it'll be best if one of us stay with you, dear. We don't want you being harmed.' Says Emily." Snake told you as your eyes widened.

"I appreciate the offer, Emily. But I think I'll be just fine, she didn't lay a hand on me." You brushed off when a dusty blue viper snake slid off of Snake and around your neck.

"'He's taken up being your guardian, name him whatever you'd like.' Wilde said." Snake insisted as you admired the viper currently slithering down to your waist and making itself comfortable.

"Hmm, if you insist, I think I'll name you, Mikhail." You said as you gently brushed your finger tip on his head.

"'Wonderful! Just know that during feeding time he will come with us.' Says Goethe." Snake repeated as you nodded. "Well, I best be off, I'll see you later, then." You smiled at Snake before walking off to your tent.

"Beauty, dear, c'mere for a sec." Joker called you as you walked over to him, about to get supper. "We've got an auditioner comin' in tomorrow with a friend of his, do you think you can hang out with them? Since you're sort a new too I thought I'd be best for you to come along for their test to ease their nerves a bit." Joker requested as you nodded happily.

"I'd be glad to." You accepted as he laughed. "Great, they should be here at 'round eight in the mornin' be sure to be ready to great them by then." He informed as you nodded when Mikhail hissed.

"Oh! Goodness! Is that one of Snakes serpents?! How'd one of them get on ya?! Are they hungry?! Why are they on ya?!" Dagger shrieked as he was walking over to the mess tent to get his food. "Yup! Isn't he pretty?!" You asked as he slithered up to your neck from your waist and hissed again.

-

You waited at the entrance for Ciel and Sebastian to walk in. You already had on your performance clothes and ate early to wait for the two of them as they came into view, you looked around to see if anyone was looking and sprung up to them.

"There you are! I could hardly sleep last night!" You cheered as Ciel smiled. "You missed me that much?" "Of course I did silly! Oh, I even got myself a snake!" You said as the viper was wrapped around your neck.

"He looks very handsome, my lord." Sebastian commented as you had placed a tophat on the snakes head.

"Aw, thank you! Come on in, they're all waiting for you."
