Chapter 6

Chris' POV:

After the show was over, Manson lead us towards the backstage area where we were greeted by a few body guards. They hesitated on letting us in until someone behind them spoke up.

"It's okay. They're our guests." I looked to see Sonny standing there with a smile. The guards stepped aside almost immediately letting us go inside the tent where the other freaks were. It seemed like everybody was in here, except for the vampires. I just assumed they were in the back where we first found them.

"Thank you Sonny. You can go now." I looked to see Rob was now standing in front of us with his wife around his arm, the two smiling at us. More specifically Manson.

"Well isn't this a nice surprise. To what do we owe the pleasure of this visit?"

Manson stepped forward and nodded over towards me. I stood next to Manson holding tightly onto the small black mouse that was laced with catnip. One way or another I was gonna get answers about this.

"I apologize for the sudden visit, but I have reasons to believe that one of your crew members have been stalking our singer. More specifically Angelo."

Rob tilted his head slightly not taking his eyes off of Manson. The two just stood there practically staring daggers at each other. Rob smirked shaking his head slightly before turning to his wife who just smiled back. The ring leader lifted his cane up and turned pointing it behind him, that's when Jinxx lifted his head up. The small man stood from his seat and with a snap of his fingers, Angelo was quick to fly and land right in front of us. I almost jumped back from the sudden action but stood as still as I could.

The demon eyed us with his glowing gold eyes tilting his head slightly. Rob set his cane down holding it in both of his hands.

"Angelo, care to explain why our guests here are accusing you of harassing one of their members?"

The demon kept his eyes down tucking his wings away making a sickening cracking noise. He stayed quiet.

"I see. Jinxx?" Rob held his hand out. Angelo looked up with a panicked look and before we knew it, he was on the floor letting out a pain filled cry. He was clutching to his head, clawing into his hair. I gasped softly looking up to see Jinxx standing behind him, one hand facing where Angelo was and his eyes were glowing a slight purple. The demon was shaking on the ground for a few seconds until he finally went still, eyes shut and a bit of saliva running down his lips.

"Oh my god.." I heard Kuza whisper to himself. Jimmy walked over picking up the winged man with ease before carrying him away. Rob sighed softly turning back to us.

"I'm sorry you had to see that. I will take care of Angelo another time. Is there anything else you need?"

My eyes dropped to the floor as I slowly tucked the mouse away in my pants pocket. As much as I wanted answers, I saw how Rob treated Angelo. Who knows what he would do to whoever sent Ricky the mouse. Just as I tucked the mouse away, a hand suddenly grasped my wrist and I looked to see it was Sheri. She smiled up at me as she snatched the mouse from my hands, holding it up for everyone to see. Rob stepped over next to his wife holding his hand out, Sheri handing him the toy.

I bit my lip hard, watching as the ring leader examined the mouse.

"Alright. Seems someone else made an unexcpeted stop at your little camp site." Rob chuckled. He swiftly turned on his heels so he was now facing his crew and suddenly, he slammed the tip of his cane down hard on a table, the sound echoing throughout the room. Everybody lifted their heads up, surprised looks on some of this faces. Silence.

"Now, would someone like to explain to me how this got into Manson's camp?" Rob sneered as he held the mouse up. Still silent.

I looked around the room biting at my lip until my eyes landed on Heidi and Carla. The two girls were fidgeting with their hands and looked extremely scared. I should've figured it was them.. They even said they were Ricky's biggest fans. I actually felt sorry for them, they probably didn't mean for the present to be a problem.
