The Life Of A Freak

Chapter 15

It took me about two weeks, but I made it to the Cirque. Everyone was super happy to see me. I was happy to see them, really I was, but I was still a crying mess after I arrived at the Cirque.

There was a new performer named Merla.

She didn't have many friends and was usually alone - I noticed that fast - and being the great person I am I forced her and Evra to hang out.

"You two look just so cute together!" I laughed as they awkwardly stood next to each other.

Oh right, a male wolf joined the Cirque. He was a dark shade if gray with some black streaks going down his sides - I named him Junior.

I went to my tent, at the moment it was a storage space and Merla was staying in it, I didn't mind though. It was too big for me alone.

I had my large bed in its normal corner and Merla had hers on the opposite side.

I lay on my purple sheeted bed when I wasn't doing chores or doing a show. Evra asked what was wrong a lot, I always shrugged him off though, I guess Merla told him I've been crying...

After about three or four months I opened up and told him what happened at the mountain. He was shocked that so much happened in the short time I was away - short as in almost half a year...

"Hopefully you will be better soon." He says.

"Doubt it..."

"You are just sad! You'll be fine." He says, joyful.

I smile, "Thanks."

"Anything I can do?"

"No... Unless you can somehow help me sleep."

"Sorry, don't know anything there."

"Oh well."

Months went by after that and Evra and I haven't talked as much. He and Merla got married and she left my tent. I guess I lost my best friend as well...

For one long year I was a lonely and miserable piece of trash. I cried myself to sleep and often stayed to myself.

When Evra had kids, I opened up more. They were adorable and I loved them.

He had three kids.

His oldest is Shancus, at five years old now - wow six years without seeing Darren, weird...- and he looks like a younger version of his father. He is covered in scales and has the most handsome green hair in the world with a great bright smile. The snake-boy is named after his father and I's best friend Darren Shan.

Then there is poor little Urcha. He is three years old and wishes more than anything in the world to be like his father and brother - covered in scales. Even though he wants to be scale-covered I think he looks perfect the way he is. With his dark brown hair and pretty brown eyes, the most handsome young child.

Next is Lilia at two and is the most beautiful little girl I have seen in a long, long time. Even though she is also covered in scales she is adorable, cute, and hilarious.

Over the 6 years Nona and Junior had three cubs, one ended up getting lost at one of the stops and now...we have no idea where he is...

I named the male of the two Flash, he loved to run around and is actually quite fast. Despite no longer being small enough to classify as a pup, he sure acts like one.

The other is Marcy, her name isn't really as meaningful, but still good.

Six years, six months, and twenty one days - but who's counting? - since I left vampire mountain Darren, Larten, Harkat, and two people I don't know comes to the Cirque.

"Tux!" Darren yells attacking me with a great big hug.

"Hey." I say squeezing the brunette back.

He let's go of me. He goes over to the two people, one is male the other is female.

The male has a reddish pinkish tinted skin with dsrk green hair that doesn't match him st all. He has plenty of defining muscles and clearly fit, but that doesn't mean he is attractive. Of course there are his obvious battle scars and all, but also his face just...doesn't look appealing no matter how you look at it. His clothes certainly do not help my already bad impression of him. Clothes isnt even the right word to use...they are actually just dead hides of poor animals that were tinted purple.

The female is, grotesque looking. She was a short fat woman. She had a large nose, fat lips, a large forehead, round and floppy cheeks, plenty of chins. She had black curly messy hair that looks as if it hasn't been washed in centuries. Her fingers were long, skinny, and just...terrifying, with the sharp long nails attached to the already long fingers. Her choice of style was...strange to say the least. Her style was way worse than the man's, she covered up with nothing but some thick ropes.

"This is Vancha." Darren says pointing at the male. "He is a vampire Prince." He points to the female. "This is Lady Evanna."

"Nice to meet you." I say, grinning at the two. "The show is about to begin if you all want to watch it."

"Yes, please!" Darren yells, just like a child.

I head into the big top, where the acts are gonna be preformed.

Everyone did their acts. My personal favorite still being Cormac's. How he chopped off his limbs was just fascinating!!

I go meet Darren outside the large tent.

"So how you been Tux?" Darren asks.

"Missing you like crazy!" I yell.

"Hey, Tux." Harkat Says, walking up from behind Darren.

"Hey, Harkat, I see your speech improved." I smile.

"It actually talks?!" Evra asks.

"What you thought I was lying?" I yell at him.

"No, its just hard to believe!

"Yes, I speak. And it prefers he." Harkat says, putting his filter mask back on his face - Little People can't breathe in oxygen for more than ten hours or they will die.

"Sorry." Evra says.

"Its fine." Harkat says.

I laugh. "Its nice seeing you guys again."

We talked through the night - joking and laughing like there was no tomorrow, which there surely was - and slept during the day.

The night after that there was another show. Larten and Darren were gonna preform. I wasn't, because I wanted a break. I was in my tent, sitting, when I heard Darren yelling. I walked out of my tent and then into Lartens van where I heard the yelling.

"What's that yelling for?" I ask.

"There is vampaneze near here, with Lady Evanna."
