Falling In-love with a freak

Chapter 11

A fire is lit, the beautiful flames dances different shades of red, orange and yellow. Pointing to everyone around the fire she strongly said "Maria this is Maggie Esmerelda-" "she's a fortune teller" Jimmy came from behind me. "Hello Miss Esmerelda" I shook her hand and then Elsa carried on "this is Desiree Dupree-" "three booded lady" Jimmy popped up again. "It's lovely to meet you Miss Dupree" Elsa started talking again "Ethel Darling, mother of are Jimmy hear and-" "I'm the bearded lady, it's lovely to meet you. Iv seen the way Jimmy looks at you. Maybe you could be my daughter in law one day and have my grandchildren." took back from the words I smiled a little while shaking her hand "It is a pleasure to meet you Miss Darling. And never telling what the further will bring" "Mom please don't say anything weird like that again" Jimmy put his head into his hand. I let out a little giggle making Jimmy look up at me. he mouthed the words 'sorry'. "Anyway Maria. That is Stanley. A con artist. Dell Toledo, he's ex husband of Miss Darling and also known as the strong man. That is Betty and Dot Tattle. As you can see the two headed woman. And this is Edward Mordrake. the man with a good face and a bad one. Finally this is Miss Gloria Mott mother of Dandy who are both completely normal" I greeted them all one by one as Elsa walked of. Jimmy offed me a seats next to him and his mom. I accepted the offer and sat down between them. "So Maria what did you do before you came hear ?" Dell asked me with glitter in his eyes. "Well I was a singer and dancer for a gypsy show." I said with pride in my voice. "how come you gave it up?" Ethel asked intrigued. "Haven't you read the newspapers? She was raped while a group of men watched and then stabbed and was left for dead and now he's dead." Maggie said with pain in her voice. I looked at her giving her a dirty look. "how about you shut up you bitch. That is behind her now. This is the start of her new life" Gloria screamed the words at her. "What ever, anyway can you fit your body into a box?" She asked me with a sass in her voice. "I don't know, Iv never tried it" my voice was slightly shaken still from the words she spat at me earlier. "try it, I'll get a box" and with that she ran to the tent bring back a blue box no bigger than 30x30cm. She lay it on the floor. "Get in it" her evil words spitting at me once more. I walk over to the box and I do an handstand in it and then I rolled my spine up like a hose pipe, fitting in the box. I was about to get out until the lid shut on top. Everything went dark. I felt the bottom of the box becoming hot as I realise from the cracking noise I can hear, the box is over the fire. "Lets see how fast she can get out" and with them words escaping her mouth she dropped me on the fire. The burning sensation taking over my body as I start hitting the lid finally breaking free. Un wrapping my body Jimmy grabs me pulling me out from the flames and into his chest. Everyone screaming at Maggie while I walk up to her. Everyone began to part. Reaching into the fire I grabbed what was left of the box and threw it at her "that wasn't very nice" I hissed at her. "Whatever" and with her words she walked of to her tent. "Are you alright Maria?" Everyone asked as the circle around me. "Yeah I'm fine, I'm going to get ready for bed it's getting late. it was nice meeting you all." I went to walk away. Jimmy at my side following me. "What about Maggie?" Dell asked. "I wouldn't worry about her... Karma's a bitch" and with that me and Jimmy went into are tent.
