The Mystery Circus

Chapter 8

I woke up, yawning. I noticed Smokey jumping off my lap as I sat up. I smiled, petting her. I yawned, and sat there for a minute. There was something special today, I know there is. I just can't place my finger on it.

I suddenly looked at a suitcase that was sitting in the corner of my room, stuffed. I stared at it. Why was I packing?

Then it dawned on me. I face palmed myself.

"I'm an idiot! I just remembered that we are going to be going to the circus today!" I exclaimed. I jumped off the end of my bed, and stretching. I walked over to my closet, picking out some nice clothes. I picked out some black socks, a pair of black jogging pants with a white letters going down the side saying 'Areo' stating that they are areopostale jogging pants.

I loved wearing areopostale clothing. It's always really comfy to have on.

I laid the black areapostale jogging pants out onto the bed, and turned back to the closet. I searched through the closet and through my shirts. I found a black areopostale tanktop. I went over to my bed and laid it on my bed also.

I then pulled off my pajamas, tugging off my top and pulling my pajama bottoms down. I then pulled on the areopostale jogging pants, then pulled on my areopostale tank top. I went back over to my closet.

I searched through all of my hoodies this time. Almost everyone was areopostale. One of my hoodies was American Eagle.

I pulled out a black over sized hoodie that said 'areopostale' across the front. I fluffed it out, shook it, then slipped it on over top of my tank top.

I smiled at my outfit in my body length mirror. I grabbed my brush, and started it running it through my long, black, smooth hair. After I brushed it completely, making sure that there were no tangles and my hair wasn't frizzy at all, I put the brush down on my desk that was in the corner of my room.

I walked out of my room, and started to walk down the hallway. I went down the stairs, quietly humming a song to myself.

The song was an anime based song. It was a creepy song. Well, creepy to anyone who didn't watch and listen to many creepy songs.

The song was called Circle You. I like the version where it is sung and dubbed by this youtuber anime dubber called Rockleetist.

"Until we see the rising sun, they take heads from off our shoulders!" I quietly sang as I went down the stairs.

"They take heads from off our shoulders...?" Adrian questioned me with a raised eyebrow as I made it to the bottom of the stairs.

"Don't judge, it's a wonderful and so, so creepy song. I like songs that are creepy." I retorted, sticking my tongue out at him, crossing my arms.

I noticed my mother on the phone as I walked into the kitchen.

"Yes, I'm going to be taking a month or two off work. My children and I have been given a huge opportunity." She stated into the phone. I was assuming that she was talking to her boss.

"What do you mean I can't take a break? I can and I will. I don't care whether you fire me or not! You can find another delivery person. I'm sure my new job that I'm getting will pay better, anyway." She snapped into the phone, and hung up.

"Was that your boss?" I questioned.

"Yes." she stated, and sighed.

"It's fine, I'm sure the circus will be way better than your delivery job." I smiled, reassuring her.

"I know." She smiled, and gave me a hug, and handed me a plate of bacon.

"Here's your breakfast. When you are done eating, we are leaving to go to the circus." She explained.

"Okay." I grinned with excitement.

I took the plate to the living room, and sat down on the couch, and started to eat the bacon.

After I finished, I walked back into the kitchen with my plate. I put my plate in the dishwasher, turned the dishwasher on, and ran up the stairs.

Running into my room, I put my suitcase on my bed. I opened it to check to make sure everything was there.

I grabbed my phone, and put it in there, along with my laptop and their respective chargers. I also put my laptop case in the suitcase.

I zipped up my suitcase, and brought it downstairs. I saw Smokey get up and follow me, somehow knowing we were leaving.

I set my suitcase by the door. I looked in the downstairs closet, and pulled out a little cat coat to keep Smokey warm. I bent down, and put it on her.

"Ready?" My mother called.

"Yes." I called. Adrian nodded his head in agreement.

"Let's go, then." She grinned. I carried Smokey into the front porch.

I slipped on my boots, then put my coat on. I pulled a black beanie over my head.

I put Smokey in a pocket inside my coat so she wouldn't freeze. She hopped into the pocket, and curled up, falling asleep.

I smiled, scratching her head, then zipped my coat up. Once all of our winter supplies were on, we headed out the door, dragging our suitcases behind us. All of our suitcases had a long handle that you could hold, and they all had wheels so we could pull them across the ground.

We walked through the forest, and eventually reached the circus. We walked down the hill, where Joker met up with us.

"Glad you guys could come!" he cheered.

"Yeah, I'm excited." I smiled at him.

"Wonderful. I have had your rooms prepared for you." he grinned at us. "Now, shall we go and show you your rooms?" He asked.

"Yeah, and we've brought our cat." I stated.

"Okay, yes, that's fine." he smiled. "I love cats."

"Okay then, follow me to your rooms." he sweetly smiled.
