Welcome into my freakish mind
My name is Cameo Churchill. But everyone calls me Church for short. I'm a freak. Yes I know what your thinking, bye me saying 'Freak' you think i mean that i just act different or dress different from everyone.
Heavens no. I'm a real FREAK. I'm a cat-girl. Yes you heard me. A cat-girl. I have cat like ears on top of my head, I have a tail, cat like teeth, cat like abilities. I have long fingernails that are like cat claws. But don't worry. I don't eat mice or anything.
I was born this way. My parents have hated me ever since, and my sisters cast me out as 'Freakish' but I don't mind. I am a freak and I know it. Me and my family are the only people who know. I have never even told my best friends, Darren, Steve, Allan, and Tommy.
But out of all of my 4 best friends, Darren and Steve are my absolute Best friends.
Darren and Steve are like me. No they are not freaks like me. We just all like the same things as each other. We all love scary things, horror comics, horror movies. We love being scared! but me and Steve, see we are insane.
Maniacs one might say. We both like violence, death, pain, terror. Yeah I know, wierd huh? War too. Anything that delt witrh War, Blood, or Violence, Me and Steve would be there in a pinch.
But then there is Darren. I trusted Darren with all my heart, he was the one that wsas always there for me when i needed a sholder to cry on. I honestly loved Darren. I loved Steve too. We were all one happy bunch.
But one day when Steve comes with news of a circus in town, none of us new one little circus would change our lives forever.
Chapter 1: Life as a Freak
I was in the girl's bathroom at school, sitting on the tiolet. I still had my pants on. I'd come in near the end of English class, feeling ill. My teacher, Mr. Dalton, is great about things like that. He was really smart and knew if you were faking an illness, or being serious. He took one look at me when i raised my hand and said I was feeling sick, then he nodde his heads and told me too go to the bathroom.
"Throw up whatever's making you feel sick, Cameo." he said, "then get your behind back in here."
In the end, I didn't get sick, but I did feel queasy, so I satyed in the bathroom. I heeard the bell ring for he end of class and everybody came rushing out on their way to lunch break. I wanted to join them but i knew Mr. Dalton would get on my ass if he saw me in the yard so soon..
So, there I was, watching the time on my cell phone, waiting. Then I heard a boy's voice calling me.
"Church?" one boy's voice called 'Hey, babe! You fallen in or what?" called a different boy's voice.
I smiled. It was my two best friends. Darren Shan and Steve Leonard.
"Over here guys,' i called to them then paused, "wait.. this is the girl's bathroom! you guys can't be in here! what if someone walks in and see's you guys?!" I fussed. "Don't worry," Steve said, 'We locked the door." 'thank god..' I said under my breath. I opened the stall door and walked out.
"Did you puke?" Darren asked.
"No." I responded.
"Are you going to?" he asked smiling.
"I dont think so." i responded.
"Come on guys, the game is gonna start." Steve said and ran out. Darren and I exchnged looks into each others eyes, then we both followed Steve out of the bathroom. What Steve ment by 'game' he ment our little games of soccer we had during lunch break with Tommy and Alan, and older kids who we played against. We played for money. Every game we played, the winning team gets 20 dollars. Our team has never lost! Well except for one time when Alan slipped and broke his arm.
I never played though. I would just walk out into the yard, climb up the tree next to the goal, and watch my best friends play.
Darren was the best on our team. He was always the main reason we won.
We were eight to four when we got on the field. As usual I ran twords the tree I usually sit in while watching them play. I climed up, I can climb pretty well because of my cat like abbilities. I sat on the long thick branch I always sat on and took out my cell phone to record the game.
"Never fear, Hotshot Shan is hear!" I heard Darren yell as he made a goal. "Goooooooo Darren!" Everyone on our team yelled, even me.
We had won, once again. I stood up on the branch and said "Alright Darren!' with a smile on my face. But i didn't know that my foot wasn't on the branch and I fell out of the tree.
I hit the ground and my 'OBEY' snapback had fallen off my head. I always wore my snapback to hide my cat ears. Darren ran over to me, when I saw him I quickly put my hat back on, hoping he didn't see my cat ears. "Hey Church, you okay?" he said and reached for my hand to help me up. I looked at him and said "Fine as a fiddle." smiling and taking his hand. "We won." Darren said, smiling at me. "Yeah, I know." I said back to him and we both walked back to the group with each other.
"Here's your fucking money little bastards." said one of the older boys on the other team, handing Darren the money. "Wait!," Darren called back to the older boy's who were already walking away, "This is only 5 dollars you lying jerks! We had a deal of 20 remember?!" Darren shouted in an angry tone.
"Shut up Hotshot.' one older boy said and stuck up his middle finger. One of the boys came up to Darren and pushed him on the ground. "Hey get back here!" Darren commanded still on the ground.
Steve and I both exchanged evil smirks at each other. We both found two big sticks and walked up to the older boys to teach them a lesson not to mess with our friends.
"Hey...." Steve said tapping the shoulder of the boy who pushed Darren. both still smirking devilishly. "No one messes with our friends like that." I said. The boy turned around and gasped when he saw me and Steve holding up our sticks ready to smack him with it.
We did. We both gave him a big smack with the large sticks we found. Seve hit him in the crotch, and I hit him in the stomach. "OUFFF!!!" the boy screamed and fell to the ground.
"Let's get outta here man!" one older boy called, "Yeah they're creepy!" another called.
"Thanks," I said to the one who called us 'creepy', "but I prefer to be called 'Freak'" i said smiling my evil smile. "That's my babe." Steve said smiling at me "Don't call me that." I said and hugged him. Steve and I weren't dating or anything, he just liked to call me 'babe' alot.
We both walked back to Darren, Tommy, and Alan. Steve had his arm around my shoulder.
"Steve and Chuuurch, sittin' in a tree, k-i-s-s-i-n-g!" Tommy sang and made kissy faces at us. "Why don't you go suck a dick Tommy?" I said laughing. "Hey!" Tommy called back, offended.
I reached out my hand to help Darren up, "Thanks guys," he said smiling at both of us then we all had a big group hug. Darren and Steve put both of their arms on my shoulders, and I put my arms on their backs.
