Father and Son (A Larten Crepsley and Darren Shan Fanfic)

Chapter 2

When I got to Truska's tent, I slightly moved the tent's cover to reveling the inside and immediately saw Truska sitting in front of a mirror fixing up herself. "Hello Truska!" I said loudly so I got her attention.

She flinched slightly and quickly turned her head to my way and started smiling. "Darren!" She said in her accent she had. She stood up and I walked up to her and looked around. She leaned down and hugged me close to her and I hugged her back with a smile.

"Hey, Truska..." I said while looking around. "Do you happen to have more clothes for me? Mr. Crepsley says my clothes aren't good enough anymore and we are performing our act tonight".

Truska thought to herself for a moment then went up to her wardrobe. I sat down on some carpets and watched her looking around in the wardrobe. After a moment she pulled out a white long armed shirt, some shiny small black shoes, and suit that's blood red with the same color on the pants.

I like it, but I immediately thought of Mr. Crepsley because he always wear red. I bet Truska was saving these to just see me and Mr. Crepsley looking like the perfect father and son. Yeah...a father and son....

After I put my newer clothes on, Truska cut my hair a bit to the normal sized one I had. She styled it slightly different as well to make it more shiny which I liked. Then I looked at myself in the mirror, and boy did I look stylish!

Truska smiled at me while I spun around to look at ever detail of me. "Wow, thanks Truska!" I turned around to her. She nodded and smiled cheerfully. I skipped out of her tent and she followed me to Mr. Crepsley and the others.

When Evra turned around I saw him smirking when he laid eyes on me. "Oh wow, Mr. Cool is back!" He giggled and so did I. Mr. Crepsley turned to me and I saw how his eyes widend. "Uhm...what do you think?" I asked him and smiled slightly. He smiled a bit back and quickly looked away like nothing mattered. "It looks fine, Darren. You shall be the star in the act." He nodded.

It didn't seem like Mr. Crepsley cared that much about my new clothes or hair. I probably imagined his eyes widening. Evra then wrapped his arm around my shoulder and ran to his tent with me. "Check out my newest snake, Darren!" He said and pulled out a long, slim, brown and orange snake. I yelped quietly and he giggled.

"Mr. Tall sure buys you a lot of snakes..." I said while looking at the snake that Evra was now playing with. He laughed a bit. "Yeah...he's a good circus conducter..." he said quietly and smiled a bit.

Mr. Tall looked in the tent after a moment.

"Hello, boys. Time to get ready for your act" he said and we stood up to follow him.

We got outside and saw everyone near the outside of the tent getting ready to go outside and perform. I went and stood next to Mr. Crepsley who held Madame Octa's cage with her inside. I was excited to be back. I wonder how our act would go this time.
