He drives a few more miles, until he stops. Outside is a vast forest, and in the middle, looks like a campsite, full of people with something on them something out of the ordinary, except for the muscular men, taking down the poles.
"We're here" says The Ringmaster.
He hops out of the truck, and I follow right behind, like a small child hiding behind their dad. I guess, I mean,I wouldn't know, given my Daddy left years if feeling "safe" is what it feels like to be with a dad, then I wouldn't mind having a Dad, not The RingMaster, he could never be my Dad, but this is a nice feeling. He calls everybody to attention, everyone stops, and greets him, when a tall man sees me, he is tall, and he has spikes all the way down, his body, like a porcupine.
"Who's that? Back there, looks like a little kid." he says
"She is, Danny, everybody this is Keyla." announces RingMaster, he smiles at me, and moves out of the way. "It's alright Keyla, come on."
He comes out, and gets behind me.
"Keyla, is going to be part of this group, she is going to be a star, like everyone here, after we get everything ready for her stay." he says
"What! She's a normal Kid.!" everyone yells
"Keyla, show em, what you got." says The RingMaster
Uh...Right!" I say
I let my ears turn to my fox ears, and my tail out. I let my tail move, and I move my ears.
"Woah, are they real? I mean I saw them but still." says Danny, he comes over, and pulls gently on my ears.
"Ow, that hurts." I say
"Oh sorry." he says, letting go.
"It's fine. Um.. actually, you should know that there's more to it then looks." I speak up
"Ehh?" he says, "Well, what is it? Come on kiddo, speak up."
I clear my throat, and say so loud, that everyone who is there can hear.
"I can hear as well as a fox, because of this, I can pinpoint exactly where someone is, depending on the distance up to 160 (I got this info from a website on foxes, but the pinpointing is all her, sorry for the interruption, )As long as there is noise around. I can hear where someone is." I say
It is true, but it's only back home, because I know those woods inside and out. I look down thinking about it all. I don't dare talk about my past, and by the look on my face apparently, they sense it too.
"Hey, everybody has a past they are ashamed of, or don't want to talk about, you don't have to talk about the past if you don't want to. Just stay here, and happiness is possible." says Danny
My ears perk up, before I even get the chance to look up with a surprised look.
"Wow, you really are like a fox, but don't ever be ashamed about who you are okay?" he asks
"Uh.. Um" I say
"Oh, I know!" he suddenly says, "Do you know, what a pinkie promise is?"
"No" I admit
It's true, I don't know, I know what a pinkie promise is, but I never heard a pinkie promise. I know it sounds sad, and lonely, but it's okay, because, I am keeping my promises, and being me. By doing that, I am going to try to be happy here.
"Okay, listen closely. You listening kiddo?" he asks
"I'm listening, Mr. Danny." I say
He laughs
