It's Time To....

A/N Thank you everyone for continuing to comment on chapters, i may not reply but i read every single comment and love hearing what you's have to say, I especially love how there is now a club for the gutter minds lol

Sang's POV

Have you ever been in an awkward situation? well times that by third and you may have a fifth of the awkwardness that is currently happening right now as i stood with Owen by myself where the only sound was coming from the chattering of others.

What do i even say?

How's the weather?

No that's stupid.

Come here often?

Of course he doesn't you idiot.

How's that stick in your rear?

No we are trying to be nice.

Think brain, think!

''The weather is good this evening for the Gathering''

I couldn't help but choke on my saliva so i wouldn't laugh, he had honestly turned to talking about the weather just to try and cut the awkwardness between us.

''Are you okay Miss Sang?''

Owen asked raising one of his perfectly shaped brows and i simply nodded refusing to make eye contact so my eyes wouldn't give away that fact i had almost burst out laughing at his lame attempt at conversation.

''I did mean what i said....''

I looked at him confused.

''I didn't think you were lying about the good weather''

I added causing a small smirk to appear on his lips though it was gone within a blink i almost thought i had imagined it.

''I meant my earlier comment, your performance was beautiful''

I felt my cheeks heat up at his words, i could tell he meant what he said and my stomach did flips at the compliment from Owen, though i was unsure why.

''Thank you''

I whispered under my breath unsure if he caught it when our attention was snapped towards the fire as clapping filled the area before being followed by the sound of guitar's and i couldn't help but grin in excitement knowing this was the start of one of the best night's at the circus.

I watched as Rhiannon came forward along with a very unhappy Wil and knew the poor soul had been pulled into partaking in her performance as they began dancing as soon as people started banging on the drums to add to the tempo of the guitars.

''I stay out too late, got nothin' in my brain

That's what people say, mmm hmm, that's what people say, mmm hmm
I go on too many dates, but I can't make 'em stay
At least that's what people say mmm mmm, that's what people say mmm mmm''

I watched as Wil let out a small laugh as he continued to follow the dancing directions of Rhiannon.

''But I keep cruising, can't stop, won't stop moving

It's like I got this music in my mind, sayin' it's gonna be alright''

I started clapping along as i watched the simply fun dance moves they were adding along to the song.

''Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play

And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Heartbreakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off''

Though Rhiannon specialised in horses she could sing well but she only ever sang at The Gathering refusing to do so during performance.

''I'll never miss a beat, I'm lightning on my feet

And that's what they don't see mmm mmm, that's what they don't see mmm mmm
I'm dancing on my own (dancing on my own), I'll make the moves up as I go (moves up as I go)
And that's what they don't know mmm mmm, that's what they don't know mmm mmm''

I couldn't help but laugh as Wil would sing a few words, Wil wasn't the best of singer's but he wasn't terrible.

''She is a very outgoing character''

Owen yelled causing my attention to turn to him tuning out the song being performed by my friends.

''Yeah she can be''

He glanced at my his eyes raising the question's i knew he wanted to ask.

''It's like you and your brother's....''

I added and waiting for Owen to stop me in my tracks but when he made no move to do so i continued.

''You's all act a certain way so that no one see's who you really are or what you really are feeling, Rhiannon is a lot like Luke, she's a day dreamer and she acts outgoing, trying to find the joy in everything despite going through a lot, she has her past and she just learned Adrik died...yet she's out there singing and dancing, having the best time because that's the only way she know's to cope...''

''How is that a lot like Luke?''

Owen asked and i could see the pure curiosity at my words in his eyes.

''He's lonely''

I simply state bringing my finger to my lip as i thought about continuing, they were supposed to be brother's and yet they didn't seem to truly know each other.

''I don't know his story, but his daydreaming....the need to look for the fun in things it's a mechanism to hide his true feeling's away, like how you shut everyone out, keep on this emotionless mask because you don't want others, especially your brother's to know how you truly feel''

I watched as Owen turned away from me as he gave a small clap causing my attention to turn back to the area my friend's had been performing and realised they were now giving a small bow in thanks.

Damn i missed it all.

I watched as Jonathon and Lilac took up the spots Rhiannon and Wil had moment's ago and watched in delight as they began their performance of fire eating.

''It's remarkable''

I just heard Owen say over the tribal drum beating being played to the fire eating performance as Lilac blew on the fire causing it to shoot out forward more.

''Yeah it's amazing how they are able to control the fire''

I added in agreement.

''I meant you''

I glanced at Owen confused watching as he turned his steel grey eyes one me.

''You seem to be able to see the person  behind the mask they wear''

I gave a small shrug at his words.

''It's not anything special, i only know how to see past the mask because i'm like you all...i too wear a mask, i guess it just takes one to know one''

I heard a small hum from Owen at my words as i began clapping at the end of Jonathon and Lilac's performance.

''Do you know any instruments?''

I quickly asked Owen an idea springing to mind.

''I happen to enjoy the Violin''

My eyes went wide at his words, i had always wanted to learn Violin but we had no one in the circus that could play, not since Sam left a few years ago, though we did have a couple violins in storage.

''Come on!''

I yelled quickly grabbing Owen's hand as i began trailing him away as Jade took this time to start her own performance.

''Where exactly are we going?''

Owen asked but i refused to answer as i moved us throw the ground.

It was time to show his brother's the real Owen.
