I walked through a long hallway full of different pictures of the circus' various performers, some where just smiling and others were showing off their abilities. I was astonished at the picture of the girl and the guy I saw outside, he was carrying her with only one arm and she was doing a handstand smiling, I didn't know why but she called my attention, her simple face features made me smile, she was special.
I continued walking down the long hall until a big wooden door appeared at the end. I entered awing at the scene in front of me. All the performers where on the stage practicing. I spotted the girl, I think her name was Dove or something along those lines. She was wearing a full body gold shimmer costume with her hair up in a tight bun. She was doing all sorts of handstands and tricks.
"Hey, are you new?" A tall, dark skinned man came over to me.
"Uh, Yeah, I'm searching for Wyatt?" I nervously fidgeted with my ring looking up at him.
"He's over there" He points at a curly haired guy at the back of the scenario. "I'm Chosen, nice to meet you" He lends his hand for me to shake, I grab it and smile at him.
"Finn" I answer pulling away.
"I have to get going but I'll see you soon" Chosen smiles walking away. I sigh and head towards the main stage looking at all the performers doing their corresponding acts. It was truly an spectacular sight. I tap on the figure's shoulder. They turn around and as expected, I'm met with Wyatt Oleff himself.
"Finn?" I nod and he grabs my hand shaking it violently "such a pleasure to have you here, did you have a good trip?" I hesitantly nod again.
"Yeah, thank you Mr. Oleff" I smile at the older man.
"Wyatt, it's Wyatt" I nod once again "I'll get you settled in a second" he walks over to one of the performers bringing them closer. "Finn, meet Jack, he's going to help you settle and get a hold of what's going on here." I look at the brunette boy infront of me. He was short and had a sky of freckles placed all around his cheeks and nose.
"Hi, I'm Finn" I shake the guy's hand.
"Jack. Where's your luggage?" I point to the door I recently came through. "Right, I'll be back in a second" he walks down the stage's steps and exits the room. I patiently wait when I feel a tap on my shoulder. I turn around getting a look at 7 faces.
"Hi! I'm Millie" a girl enthusiastically announces "welcome to our humble abode! So we wanted to introduce each of ourselves" she points to the other 6 people. A fiery red head steps up first.
"Hi, I'm Sadie. I sing" she shakes my hand smiling at me.
"I'm Finn. I can hold a spoon with my nose?" She laughs at my statement. Next comes a tall guy with piles of clothes on his frame.
"I'm Jaeden. And I have these babies" he drops the clothing revealing scales that covered his entire skin except certain areas and his stomach.
"Woah" I mumble.
"Yeah, I get that a lot" he chuckles grabbing his clothes. A guy covered in hair steps up.
"Well, I'm Gaten and I guess my 'ability' is pretty visible" he chuckles showing his hair. I nod in agreement examining his body. A black skinned guy comes up from behind him.
"And I am Caleb. I can see glimpses of the future. I shouldn't be here, i should be reading palms" he shrugs moving away. The last 2 people come together and I knew exactly who they were.
"Hey, we're Noah and Paloma. I'm a weight lifter and she's a gymnast" a tall guy says.
"Acrobat" the girl responds giving him a death glare.
"Acrobat, gymnast, they're the same" he shrugs.
"No they're not" she retorts "acrobat is dancing mixed with flexibility and athleticism, gymnast is just athleticism" she rolls her eyes.
"Oh, come on! They have on-" millie steps up from behind them.
"Your turns over" she turns to Noah and Paloma before looking back at me "well, you already know I'm Millie and I am the brain of the circus. I like to believe that and that Wyatt is kind of like the heart" she rambles.
"That's an interesting theory" we giggle. A sudden noise causes all 8 of us to look around in search of the origin. A bleeding Jack captures my attention "Jack, are you okay?" Worry covers my entire expression as I hurry to the relaxed boy.
"Yeah, just a little cut" he shrugs grabbing the fallen bags.
"Are you sure? That seems like it might sting." Jack laughs grabbing the rest of the luggage.
"I guess I didn't tell you my ability" I furrow my eyebrows "I'm Fire boy, that's because I was born with a decease that causes me to never feel pain" he walks towards a small corridor next to the stage entering it. We walk through some hallways arriving at a set of doors, he stops at the third one and opens the room. I take a peak inside, it has 1 large bed with a small bedside table, a medium used dresser and a single window on top of the bed with a view of the busy streets of Manhattan. The room wasn't exactly luxurious, but was good enough for not paying to stay.
"That explains a lot" I turn to him, he nods and leaves the bags on the floor next to the door.
"Yeah, it does." He walks some centimeters away from the door frame "I have to go. If you need me I'll be around, meanwhile you can unpack" I nod as he closes the door.
I sigh looking at all the packed bags, this was going to be one hell of a process.
Author's note:
Ahh, another chapter, wow. Anyways, I hope you guys liked it. It was kind of a short introduction into the characters and the circus a little bit more.
