You and Jerome got back to the circus with no problems. Everybody was helping pack up, so they didn't see you guys sneak in, covered in blood. You both ran to your trailer, knowing your dad would be at a bar somewhere, trying to find another slut to fuck.

You let Jerome take the first shower, since he was covered in more blood than you were. While he was in there, you thought about what you had just done. You killed a person. You killed Emily. And you didn't regret it.

     Any normal person would feel guilty, but you didn't. You were happy you did it. It was fun and exciting. And oh the rush! You would definitely do it again. You didn't want to stop.

     Jerome got out of the shower, snapping you out of your thoughts. "You can get in now. Give me your clothes so I can take care of them." You took off you shirt and pants and gave them to him. "What are you gonna do with them?" You asked. He threw them with his clothes. "Probably burn them. I don't know yet. Do you still have that extra pair of clothes that I gave you for me?" You nodded. "Under my bed in the duffle bag. I'm gonna get in the shower." You said, walking into the bathroom.

     You took a quick shower, taking about 10 minutes. When you got out you got dressed and did your hair. Jerome was already gone, probably taking care of the clothes. You decided to write the letter that you guys were gonna use for Emily and Jared's disappearance.

Dear whoever is reading this,

     If you are reading this, me and Jared are gone. Me and him have secretly been in love for about 5 months now. We couldn't tell anyone because of our family history.

     We don't want to live our lives as some freak circus members. We want to be normal. Have a house, kids, a life. We're so sorry we left so suddenly, but it needed to be done. Don't come looking for us. Please. We just want to be alone and together.

     We love all of you, but we couldn't do it anymore. We have decided that this was our best choice. We know you will be okay, and hope to maybe see you again. Maybe even come to a couple shows. Anyway, it's time we said goodbye. So, goodbye.

Lots of love,
Emily and Jared

     You fished the letter, and hid it under your pillow, deciding to deal with it again later. You started packing. The circus was heading for Gotham and you guys would be there tonight. Tonight you and Jerome would be back!

     You couldn't wait. You and Jerome have missed Gotham City so much. All of your friends, enemies, and adventures! You knew this time around would be different. This time you would be there longer, meet new people, and commit different crimes. You and Jerome would't be stopped this time. You would make sure of it.
