The Circus(adopted by Demi Lovato story)

Chapter 1:The Circus

Ophelia's POV

Today is just another performance. I've been performing with this traveling circus for a couple years now. I left just after my parents passed, and my grandparents told me to follow my dreams. We travel by the companies train. I've always loved trains and traveling as well. We've performed in every state since I joined and even France once. I do a couple different acts since we have to change the show a lot. I do an act with five beautiful horses, one with an elephant, and silks and dance, since that's what I've trained in since I was born. I'm originally a farm girl from Tennessee, hints the horses, but a dancer from birth.
"Ophelia, time to eat beautiful! Then you must get dressed. I took up your costume, again, please stop losing weight. I'm gonna have to make another for you as we travel this week, tiny girl." Our costume designer and "stand in mom", Gina, says to me. I just nod and attempt to eat what I can. Tonight's a performance. I can't eat too much. I'll be too big and break the silks from the ceiling. Or I won't fit my Leo. The voices in my head tell me and I just put my sandwich in the trash. What Gina doesn't know won't hurt her.
Tonight we are in Dallas, Texas. I love Texas! We took the horses out this morning to ride some trails. Of course I rode Gypsy, my huge Clydesdale. Of course they aren't performing tonight, or we wouldn't have taken them out. We were informed of a special guest tonight, Demi Lovato. She a singer I was told and I actually perform a silk routine to her song, which is what I'll be doing tonight of course.
I take the short walk from my dressing room to the costumes train car. We all have our own train cars, unless she share with a friend. I'm the youngest so I'm alone. Which I'm glad for. "Ophelia, there you are my tiny girl! Here's your Leos. Watch the seams where I took them in. Go, get ready Tiny." I love Gina, but wish she wouldn't call me tiny. I'm 5'3 and currently 102 pounds. Which is not tiny. I just nod and walk back to my train car. I make sure the door is closed and locked before I begin to change. I make sure to put on my tights to cover the scratches on my thighs, then check the cuts on my left arm. Once I know they won't bleed, I slip on my long sleeved Leo, glad that it's still a bit lose. I began my stretches for the show, and get in position to do the ride through, or 'parade' of the tent. I ride Ella, our very own circus elephant, then quick go touch up my makeup backstage and wait for my cue.
