YOUR POV

Today was our first day in London and tonight was our first performance. I was a little nervous to perform in front of a lot of people, my big brother Joker said lots of noble people would be coming to watch us. Thinking about it was making me shiver with nerves, I picked up my purple brush and began to brush my (h/c) hair.

As I finished and put a black ribbon in my hair Joker walked in with a big smile on his face.
" Ahhh sister you look as adorable as ever, come now hurry up and get ready for practice we need you to be perfect tonight, you know"
" I know I'm just a little nervous"
" Don't be you are the best acrobat in the circus, you have a whole five minutes to preform"

" Yes thank you brother"
" Come come I'll wait for you in the tent" he smiled as he walked out the door.
I sighed heavily and took out my (f/c) stripped dress with black shoes. I put them on and ran to the tent I know brother doesn't like to be kept waiting.

When he saw me he smiled and rubbed my head. I climbed up the ladder and took the long piece of silk that hung from the ceiling. I spun around, did the splits, hung upside down then I jumped off and grabbed beam. When I finished I got bored and decided to practice my gymnastics on the right rope.

I climbed down and saw brother running towards me.
" (y/n) there's been an accident, Doll fell and can't do tonight's performance your going to have to do the acrobat and tight rope tonight"
I looked at him in worry but nodded
" Of course anything for you"

He smiled and hugged me tight.
" Your the best little sister, I can't wait to see your performance tonight" he beamed.
The show was in an hour, I had enough time to bathe and do my circus make up. I had a nice hot bath and put on my pink and blue stripped dress, I put on purple lipstick and did my eyeshadow a rainbow colour. I also put a a few coloured spots on my face. I put my (h/L) (h/c) hair into a bun and ran into the tent and waited with Joker for the night to start.

As everyone was seated and waiting brother walked out with us with a big smile on his face.
" Hello everyone! Welcome to the first night of our lovely family Noah's Ark Circus , my name is Joker and tonight you will see my wonderful family perform their many talents for your entertainment, please enjoy yourselfs".

" First up we have Dagger and his throwing knives".
Everyone clapped from behind the curtain as I waited patiently for my turn to come.

" Please welcome the beautiful acrobat (y/n)" Joker screamed as I climbed the ladder quickly. As the light pointed at me, music started to play as I swung from the beam. I hung upside down and wrapped my leg around the wire and pointed my other leg forward. I held onto the beam and put my two legs out straight doing the splits mid air.

As I finished I got a lot of applause as I ran to my tent to change into my white short frilly dress. I washed the make up off my face and put a hair net on my face. I put white make up over it as it made me look like I had white scales on my face. I put on the White head piece and grabbed the white umbrella and ran back to the tent again waiting for my turn again.

I looked out the curtain to see Beast starting her act. She asked for a volunteer and I saw a man dressed in all black stand up and walk down towards Beast and Joker.
" If you would please lie down here we ca-" Joker stopped mid-sentience as the man walked straight past him and up to the tiger.

I giggled as he pet her and saw the confused faces of Beast and Joker but my eyes went wide as I saw the mans head get bitten by the tigger. After the incident was cleared up I clines the ladder again to the tight rope as the light pointed at me.
" Ladies and Gentlemen, I'd like you to welcome back the young and talented (y/n)!!" Joker shouted.

" Watch as she walks and does tricks on our tight rope but notice there is no net underneath, she'll have to be really careful not to fall" he smiled.
I walked on the tight rope as if I was walking on a path, I hopped down and did the splits on the tight rope as I put my hands in the air. As I got up again I did a back flip and landed on the rope, I heard people shout and scream about how dangerous it looked and I couldn't help but smirk.

I did a handstand and walked up and down the rope on my hands and swung down. I bounced on the rope and twirled around on one leg when I heard a bang noise coming from outside. I looked ahead and saw the rope snap as I felt myself falling to my death. I was thirty feet high there's no way I'd survive this.

" Sebastian catch her!" I heard someone yell as I closed my eyes and waited to hit the ground.
After a minute I opened my eyes to see the man dressed in black holding me in his arms. How the hell did he catch me?!

I looked up at him as he smiled at me
" Do not worry my lady I caught you just in time" his voice was smooth.
He put me down as Joker, Beast and Dagger ran over to me.
" (Y/N) are you alright?!" Beast asked looking at me closely
" I'm fine, I'm not harmed" I smiles looking at the tall pale man.

Joker hugged me tightly and looked up at the man.
" Thank you so much Sir, I don't know how I could ever repay you"
" Well you could take better care of your staff as a start" a voice said from behind the man.
A young noble boy walked out and stood beside him.

" Sir she is not staff, she is my little sister" Joker smiled
The young boys eyes seemed to widen
" You would let your sister go up on that death trap!"
" Sir"
" Call me Phantomhive"
" Alrifht, Mr.Phantomhive she was perfectly safe she's done this act a thousand times"

" Excuse me but didn't I just catch her from falling to her death" the man smirked " Now that isn't perfectly safe is it?" He teased.
Beast growled and swung her wip at the man, he moved so fast you couldn't see him move.
" Beast stop it!" Joker yelled as he bowed towards the man
" I am so sorry, I hope you enjoyed the show"

Joker put his hands on my shoulders and walked me out of the tent into the hospital tent to make sure I was ok.
