The Sword Swallower's Cousin (A Mister Morgue Fanfiction)

Chapter 1: Meet and Greet

Enjoy! :)

Maggie's POV

I stepped off of the plane into the airport and I headed for baggage claim. I had the same gothic look as my cousin Morgue. I actually dyed my hair white, but it still looks like his. I found my baggage, my silver case containing my sword, and my guitar. I walked to were the taxis were. I didn't see Morgue yet, so I sat down and took out my guitar. Thank god it's not broken. I quickly tuned it and I set the case in front of me on the ground. I plucked a chord and played a song I created myself about my old boyfriend.

"Here I am

Waiting for you

When will you come

I'm waiting on the corner with my guitar

I need you

I want you

I can't live without you

Where are you

You said 'I'll be there.'

But you never were

When I fell

Someone else caught me

I'm here now with him 'cause you weren't here with me

He is like you

Just here

Just kinder

Just nicer

Just better

Just everything you weren't

He doesn't smile

He smirks

He doesn't hug me when I cry

He cries with me

He doesn't cook for himself

He cooks for every-" I sang, but was cut short by Morgue when he pulled away my guitar. I stuck out my tongue, showing off my tongue piercing, and held up my middle finger, before grabbing it and collecting the money from the case before setting my guitar in it.

"I got that." Morgue said, picking up my sword case.

"And I got the rest." I said putting my guitar onto my back and pulling my suitcase behind me.

"Here." He said, stopping at a white Lincoln. I put my stuff in the back, but took the sword case from him and carried it to the front of the car with me. I set the silver case on my lap as Morgue got in the driver's seat. It was a quick drive to the Freak Show, but we talked the whole way. It was mostly me talking with Morgue asking the questions. He asked about my school life, my love life, almost everything. I told him I majored in acting and art. I had also trained hard with sword swallowing since I had last seen him, which was two years ago. We arrived at the Freak Show and I left everything except my sword case in the car. I followed Morgue into the Freak Show and I heard him call out, "Where are you, Creature?"

"Here, man." I heard from the back of the building. I followed Morgue to the back, where I saw Creature, with more piercing than I remembered.

"More piercings?" I asked hugging him.

"Yeah, and I see you got one too." He said.

"Hi Maggie." I heard from behind me. I turned to see, no one. I looked down and saw Ali, the shortest woman.

"Hey Ali." I said.

"Maggie, your back!" I turned, it was Asia.

"Yeah I am." I said as Asia hugged me.
