Smiling happily, she nibbled at the apple, looking at Rythen. "Say, Rythen ..." she said, still looking at him. She swallowed the piece of apple in her mouth and sighed softly. Slowly, she scooted closer to him and rested her forehead against his shoulder, near his neck. She snuggled close to him and groaned softly, her head spinning from all the bright lights. Then, she sighed again, getting up. "I'll be right back," she whispered, and ran out, tripping slightly. Once she was away from the commotion, she calmed down a bit, but she still raced to her tent and sat on her bed. Holding her head in her hands, she groaned again, and rubbed her temples.

She smirked. "Even though I haven't known you long,you already have my heart and it's love." She said, looking down at their hands. "As long as I have yours?" She asked, raising one eyebrow in his direction. She knew his answer but she'd like to hear it. She leaned her head on his shoulder and looked towards the back entrance of the big circus show tent. She could hear people cheering and talking.

Rythen smiled as Mellie snuggled close to him. When she got up and ran out of the tent he was suprised though. He turned and saw Ahanna looking at him. "Yeah yeah." He turned to look at Cire. "I hope you don't mind if I steal your company. Ahanna would you mind going after Mellie. She will be at her tent. I don't think anyone should be alone right now and I do believe she might have been trying to get away from me. I of course will stay here." He knew that Ahanna needed to get away too but she wouldn't leave unless she knew someone would stay with Cire.

Ahanna nodded and stood up. "We'll be back shortly." She walked out of the tent and made her way to Mellie's tent. When she reached it she paused then reached out a hand and knocked. "Hey it's Ahanna. It isn't safe to be walking alone right now. But I know you wanted to be alone so I'll just sit out here." She turned and sat next to the tent entrance.

Smiling, Lucifer snuggled her softly, nudging her with his chin. He looked to where she was looking and watched as well, the lights streaming out of the tent. He bit his lip and coughed quietly, his hands tensing up. "You have my heart, Scarlett," he whispered and kissed the top of her head. Wrapping his arm around her waist, he pulled her closer, eating some more of his banana. Slowly, he yawned, and grinned. "So ... What are you going to do in that pretty little act of yours?" he asked, eying her softly.

~

Mellie jumped when she heard Ahanna and squeaked. "Oh! No, no!" she called out, standing up and running out to Ahanna. "I just got a little dizzy," she blushed and bit her lip, feeling a bit awkward and stupid. Her stomach turned as she admitted her defeat to Ahanna, but it was for the better. "I'm going to go take a few asprin. You can come in, if you'd like! I just lit a few candles, and inscents. Now, my room is visible, and smells like a forest!" She giggled and skipped away, over to her small sink. Opening the mirror, there was a medicine cabinet, filled with medication. "Shit!" she yelled, quickly grabbing the aspirin and shutting the mirror, praying that Ahanna didn't see anything. Turning to the woman, she smiled sheepishly, and grabbed a cup of water. She popped four or five aspirin into her mouth and downed them with water.

[[WHERE IS QUARTER QUEEN?!?! Dx]]

''I don't, after all, the health of the person you like is very important right?'' Cire shrugged, watching the auras of the women become smaller. Somehow, she hoped for tonight's show to end soon.. Some fresh air would do her well, running would do her well, and with the hunters in the public... Lets say she wanted to release her human form and breathe again. See again. When in this small body, she couldn't see as well... Hence the fact Adam bumped into her, instead of her taking a step to the left. Normally, she'd have noticed every little thing miles ago. Cire sighed, aiming her eyes towards the animal tent, blinking a couple of time boredly. Hm.. The hay was on short amount... ''Tomorrow I'm going to buy supplies for the circus, do your horses need something you're in shortage of, possibly?'' She asked, raising her head from the hand that was holding it, a smile on her face as she heard adorable children play around.

Ahanna found Mellie's actions a little weird but she didn't say anything about it. She stood up and walked into the tent. It did smell nice but not like her home forest. The smell was of different trees. "Don't worry it takes a little getting used to. Everyone knows that when I arrived I didn't leave my tent for days but no one knows that during that time I was drinking a lot of numbing tea. It was almost as good as getting drunk. Just without the hangover." When Mellie yelped out Ahanna turned and noticed there was a lot of bottles in the cabinet but it didn't mean much to her. Her people used herbs and such. As she was trained as the towns next herbalist she had continued with that even after leaving. She smiled when Mellie smiled at her.

"That is true Cire." He thought for a moment. "Well hay and they like clover but they don't really need it. They also like apples and carrots." He was ready for this day to be over. Every movement the crowd made he expected to be attacked.

"Heh ..." Mellie muttered and wiped her face off. She felt her make-up smudge, but she didn't care. "Everything is too much, Ahanna ... Everyone either hates me, or loves me ..." she sighed, sitting on the floor, her head hanging. "I came here, to make my mother happy, not break someone's heart, skip my first performance, and start to like my new friend, more than a friend ..." she said, looking up at Ahanna. Smiling halfheartedly, she shrugged and closed her eyes, trying to let the aspirin work it's magic. Slowly, she stood up and almost lost her balance, but walked to her bed and sat down on it. "I wish I could start over ... I wish I hadn't yelled at Adam, hadn't skipped that performance ... Hadn't been so stupid," she chuckled at her own idiocy as she sat there, looking at her floor.

''Hmm, so quite much like normal horses.'' Cire answered with a smile, licking the back of her hand before rubbing something out of her eyes with it. The fact she was bored didn't help this. Maybe she had to let out some of the animals earlier, for the kids? She bit her lower lip again, watching the auras around her. If it took two stairs for her to reach one new platform with chairs, then she should be able to guess walking the small stairs on her own without tripping. Asking Rythen now that he had a friend, a girlfriendish one, was not an option. Ugh, normally she didn't sit between the audience at all...
((Hmm, guys... Shouldn't we wait for Crimson and Holleh? =o... o.o; ))

[[Someone NEEDS to get Quarter Queen here. Srsly. >.>']]

"Well i'm going to do a few twists, twirls and other little random stunts. As usual.." She said, rolling her eyes and smirking at him. She stayed close and yawned. "I'm so bored.." She said, frowning at him. "I just want to go to sleep. But no I still have two more acts before I even think of getting a wink of sleep.." She mumbled. " What if we did an act together next show?" She asked, her eyes lighting at the thought.

Lucifer pressed his finger to his mouth. "Hmmm..." he thought, staring up at the ceiling. "That just might be fun!" he grinned and reached a hand up, playing with her hair. Softly, he leaned his head on hers and smiled more, his stomach growling. "Shit ... I can't eat anything ... I need to keep my figure! ... Now I sound like a chick ... Dear God," he groaned, laughing hard. Soon, he fell off the counter, onto the floor. Holding his hands up while still laughing, he hoped to catch Scarlett if she fell. He didn't want to be the reason of her getting injured before a show. Even though she wasn't looking forward to it, he knew she'd be happy after it was over and done with. But, in the back of his mind, he was worrying. What if the hunters made an appearance, during her performance, and she falls and gets hurt? What if they hurt her? What if ... She were to die?

Shaking his head, Lucifer continued laughing, trying to cheer himself up, even the tiniest bit.

[[ Nyrooon~ We can skip Doll's act. Quarter_Queen has backed out. She told Crimson, but I guess she forgot. ^~^; ]]

"Don't let the others bother you. Do what you want. Make your mother proud. Remember everyone here, their heart has been broken. They will get over it. And you didn't skip your first one. As far as I've heard no one performes the day they come." Ahanna paused for a moment. "And about the friend... know that he will never mean to hurt you. He is a guy though so you know. But let things happen at whatever pace you want." She smiled at the girl. "And Adam will get over it. He is a strong man. If he wishes to sulk that is his own problem."

"They are very much like normal horses. The pegasus needs to fly and the unicorn needs to lay her head on a virgin male's lap occasionally. When it comes to food though the only thing that is different is that the unicorn can not be poisoned and likes to eat sugar. She really likes cotton candy. Though I worry about her teeth so she doesn't get much of it. The other likes wild berries. Like raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries." He looked at Cire for a moment. She looked like she wanted to leave. He should wait here for the girls to get back but it wasn't right to send off Ahanna and not help Cire and it just wasn't in his nature. "Hm... Cire are you wanting to leave the crowd? I could take you."

((hunters))

Rae watched as the circus freaks started milling around. There seemed to be problems amounst them. She was tempted to follow the ones outside but she noticed how there were a few that were very watchful. The most troubling were the woman who appeared blind but noticed a lot, the ringleader, and the elves though the woman had broken down so now only the male was a problem. When the elf male started juggling she made sure to point him out to Roe like many of the other people were doing but that was as much as she dared.

Roe nodded and smiled when Rae pointed out the elf man. She had noticed all of the circus people already but she could now watch them more openly. The men sure were good looking in this circus. Too bad they were all monsters.

((I'm slowing down with my posts to wait for "Adam" to come back.))

((Aw, really? So I'm the only hunters now? Dang... well I guess that means I am the leader now. Mwahaha ^_- ))

Hey everyone..I just found out that my aunt has a few weeks, less than a month, to live..the cancer has spread to her spine, brain, and lungs. I don't really feel like writing anything right now but I will try later this week. As of right now I'm putting a pause on the rp. You can still post and stuff but try and go slow and don't change days or anything.

Also Quarter Queen had to quit. She has limited internet access. So were just going to say her Circus character left to explore for a while and that her hunter character went on a mission.

I'll try and get on Thursday and write something. Sorry guys..

Mellie Giggled at Ahanna's last comment, and stood, grabbing a cloth. She wet it and put some soap on it, washing her make-up off. She rarely ever revealed herself with no make-up, but she was going to see if Rythen was still attracted to her, without make-up. She looked younger, paler, and to herself ... Disgusting. Slowly, she turned to Ahanna and smiled softly. "I guess we better get back!" she giggled and grabbed Ahanna's hand, running out before she would turn back. Slowly, she entered the main tent, back into the crowd, and looked around. She spotted Rythen and swallowed hard, running up to him, still holding Ahanna's hand. Mellie smiled wide, and sat on Rythen's lap, yawning softly, looking at him. "Sorry," she said, leaning close to his ear so he could hear over the commotion. She blushed softly. "I became dizzy, and light-headed." She wrapped her arms around Rythen's neck, giggling. Without make-up, she felt ... Vulnerable, almost. So, she wanted to be as close to Rythen as possible, because she felt safe with him near.

Scarlett giggled and felt herself unbalance, falling onto Lucifers chest. She smirked and kissed the side of his face. "You don't need to keep your figure, you burn so many calories just being an acrobat that you don't have to keep track of what you eat." She said, sticking her tongue out at him. She didn't keep track of what she ate because she didn't eat much, and when she did it was usually healthy food. She brushed her bangs out of her eyes and stood up, putting out a hand for him. ((Sorry about your aunt > . < ))

((Figured it to be smart and post it ^^;
-Zetsumei The fact the girl on the picture picture did have make up on her face made me laugh xD))

''Really? I can't imagine a unicorn nibbling on cotton candy all, the idea is so terribly cute though~ I have to see that once.'' She laughed, one hand in front of her mouth shaking her head.
''I would never expect that though... And as for the teeth, you can check them up once in a while, if there's yellow stuff on it it would be better to ask someone to remove that, because the yellow stuff is what makes sugar so bad.'' She said, one finger raised trying to act smart, which failed as she giggled about the idea of a unicorn being fed cotton candy on a boy's lap. That idea was just adorable...
Cire wanted to accep the offer, but was too late as Mellie came along running. When said succubus attacked Rythen's lap, Cire felt more out of place than ever. ''I'll manage, thanks for the offer though Rythen.'' She said, giving him a bright smile. Not for any reason in particular, she just wanted to seem okay and in control while still having fun. Hmm, the fox would sit this out untill someone else offered to go somewhere that just wasn't here.

Ahanna watched as the girl washed off her makeup. She was pretty. Ahanna could see why Rythen liked her. She was pretty and seemed to have a good personality. She followed as Mellie dragged her along to the tent. She sat down when they reached the others.

Rythen smiled as he saw Mellie and Ahanna come back in. When she got closer he noticed that she looked different but when she sat in his lap he just smiled at her. "Well I hope your feelin' better now." He was rather suprised that she was being so clingy but he just held her. "Get rid of your makeup? You look cute without it."

He turned back to Cire. "Yes, it was rather suprising when we found she liked it. I'm sure she would love you forever if you brought her cotton candy. I suppose I could do that. I just can't imagine sugar being that good for her."

Ahanna looked between Rythen and Cire. While she thought it was nice that Rythen and Millie were getting close it was almost sickeningly cute. She sighed placing her head on her hand. She twisted to look at Cire. Apparently she had wanted to leave. "Hey Cire were you wanting to leave? I can take you."

[[ It was the closest they haaad. xD I didn't feel like searching for an hour. xDD ]]

Lucifer laughed and took Scarlett's hand, getting up easily. He looked to her and grinned. "You're one to talk, you meanie. You're the perfect size, perfect shape. I'd hate to see that go to waist, when you get a little life inside your tummy," he rubbed it softly and laughed more, at his own joke. Softly, he nuzzled her cheek, and kissed her softly, his arm wrapping around her stomach. "I refuse to have a girl," he smirked. "They go through bloody patterns, and I don't want my daughter, screaming from the bathroom, 'I'M DYYYINGGG!'" At that point, he mimicked a teenage girl's voice. High, squeaky, and awfully close to a normal teens. "Wow ... That was scary."

Mellie giggled and played with Rythen's hair, looking over at Ahanna and Cire. On his lap, she was a good two or three inches away from being able to touch the ground. To occupy herself, she swung her feet back and forth, then shivered softly. Her arms formed goosebumps, and her body shook, but she just giggled again, her pale face turning red. "I cannot wait to see the next act ... I bet the twins are amazing!" she laughed and hiccuped, soon followed by a harsh sneeze that made her lean forward and groan in pain. 'Sneezes are the worst!' she thought, sighing.

[[ My brother's fiancee had the baby, by the way. Logan Marie ~ 9 pounds, 1 ounce ~ 21 inches long. <3 ]]

"Trust me, I don't want a girl either." Scarlett smirked. "I want a little boy with dark hair and green or blue eyes." She said, almost picturing it. "Eh, If I do have a baby then as soon as I gave birth i'd be back up on that wire so i'd get most of my figure back.." She said, thinking it over. She'd have to get her figure back or she wouldn't be able to be a high wire anymore. You had to be completely symetrical, balanced, and slim. " Oh how I envy you. You'll be handsome forever and yet if I ever have children it will take me a lifetime just to get my old figure back.." She said, frowning slightly.
(( Aww <3 ))

"Mm ... Nope!" Lucifer took her hand and spun her around. "It may take you a few months, but I think we could work together, no?" he smiled and kissed her once again, shivering softly. "Hey, let's head to my tent, then the performing one." With that, he ran off, out of the tent, leaving Scarlett behind, chuckling to himself. He ran to his tent and slipped on a black sweater that hugged his body in a warm embrace. His eyes shifted around his room, and he saw his black zip-up, and grabbed it. "Oh, Scarlett!" he called out, in a sing-song voice.

Scarlett rolled her eyes with a small grin and made her way to his tent, walking in. She smiled when she saw him in a black sweater and sat at the edge of the bed. "Working together would be nice, as long as you don't mind an out of shape woman.." She mumbled. Though it'd be worth it if there was a beautiful baby around. "So why'd you want to come back to your tent?" She asked, lying back and raising an eyebrow at him. She stretched and looked at the ceiling. She turned her head and looked over at him.

All the lights dimmed and a spot light appeared in the center of the stage. Out of the darkness the twins came and walked into the spotlight. Everything went silent then with a pop the lights came on again and music started playing. As if they had timed it both twins bent completely backwards at the pop until their heads were between their legs. From there putting their weight on their hands they both lifted their legs up until they were straight and pointing to the crowd, ballet slippers pointed straight. From there they pushed off with their hands into a flip and landed in the splits. Azra kept sitting in the splits as Chenol got up and walked over to her. Sitting on her shoulders her feet on the floor in front of Azra's body she bent backwards until her spine was against her sisters own spine. A gasp went through the crowd along with applause. What they were doing was impossible. Putting her hands on the ground Chenol wrapped her legs around Azra's outstretched arms and brought her legs up so she was standing on her hands holding up her sister weight and her own. Azra kept her legs still and in the splits as she was upside down. Chenol put her back on the ground and untangle herself from her twin. Both got to their feet and began to dance. Their bodies moved as if they had no bones. After a minute they began to do more tricks. Folding their bodies into themselves bending parts as no one should be able to. When they were done with their act they bowed to the audience who had been holding their breath. The place erupted in applause and the twins walked off the stage. When they were backstage they saw Zalia and walked over to her. "Was it good?" Chenol asked a little breathless.

Grinning Zalia nodded at Chenol. "Yes it was amazing. You both did a very nice performance tonight. Now I must introduce Scarlett." She patted their shoulders and walked into the stage. This time she didn't do magic she just walked out there. "Now for our final act of the night. Please welcome Scarlett!" She bowed and vanished in a puff of smoke. She hadn't wanted to tell them what her act was. She wanted it to be a surprise.


((Thank you Katie and thank you diamondt!))

Rythen smiled at Mellie and noticed how she shivered but there wasn't much he could do about that. He wrapped his arms around her waist. "They are very interesting to watch." He focused on the ring when the twins came out. They were fasinating but he knew it was more true for the humans. He knew what they were and had met a few others of their kind. So while it was beautiful it wasn't a suprise.

Ahanna turned when the twins came out. She watched as they did all of their bends and lifts. She amazed still at the strength they showed. Most people marveled at how they bent but she was always more impressed with the strengh it took to lift themselves and each other.

Scarlett sat up quickly when she heard her name called and looked to Lucifer. "Come watch!" She smiled, running out of his tent and to the main show tent. She was out of breath by the time she got to the twins. "Hi guys." She said, taking a deep breath and feeling good again. She made her way up the ladder to the platform by the high wire. She stepped onto the high wire, hearing her circus music playing in the background as she balanced herself. She did a few steps without tricks, then put one foot into the air behind her, twirling as if she was a ballerina instead of a high wire girl. She had a smile on her face the whole time. She stopped spinning once the music got to her favorite part. Violins were playing along with a few cellos and it sounded beautiful. It was very soothing to listen to as she continued. She did a quick cartwheel and then stepped off of the wire, letting herself fall until her hands gripped the wire. She started to swing quickly until she made her body swing all the way around the wire multiple times. She released her hands from the wire and let herself fall onto it with both her feet, putting out her arms to gain her balance. She heard some of the audience clap and decided to do one of her not so common tricks so the night could go out in a bang. She did a sideways handstand, moving herself across the wire quickly since she could feel her body start to fall. Tha'ts when her bun came out and all her beautiful hair fell over her face. She couldn't see where the wire was anymore so she had to wing it! "Come on Scarlett.." She mumbled. She knew she had to be close to the end of the wire.. if she could just put her other hand back on the wire without falling.

Cire wasn't in the mood to start a discussion about cotton candy for horses, so she just laughed it off and waved her hand. When Ahanna offered to help her get down she just whispered. ''After Scarlett's act before the crowd starts to move away?'' one finger at her lips as she broadly smiled with a slightly mischievous fashion.. still feeling claustrophobic. Oh well, it didn't matter that much. She acted normal which meant that when everyone clapped for the twins and for Scarlett she did the same. Of course, she meant it as well... But she wasn't one to clap, more one to silently admire.
She knew the snake girls were a wonderful sight, and the fact you didn't hear the popping of bones for which the audience always would keep quie, still marvelled her.
Her eyes were focussed on the wire girl's aura, always sensing and keeping her eyes on it. If, if if if, she happened to miss the wire the fox could use wind bending to move the wire so that Scarlett could reach out. Of course, Zalia could use magic but that would be easier to be seen through. Now, she knew that Lucifer was watching Scarlett as well, but an extra pair of eyes didn't matter right? Family cares.

((You may god mod Cire down Lilith, I'm off for tonight. Nighty night all <3 And obviously, you're welcome Crimson =3 Hope you'll get through this in one piece.
