Chapter 17



   "Why Good morning Thorn, Rose." Joker said. "May I please be greeted as Pastel?" Mia asked. "Why of course!" Joker said, "Today Pastel will show us her talent!" Joker said. "Mia you sure you can do this?!" Christina whispered into Mia's ear. "Yes I am sure, now just relax." Mia said as she walked up to the wall with ropes all around it. "God I can't watch!" Christina said then covered her face with her hair. Mia took a deep breath and stared to clim the wall. She did tricks and movements with the rope on the wall, almost like she was a spider. Everyone was surprised, after twenty minutes later she was done. Everyone clapped, so did Christina. "Well, I love it!" Joker said, Mia blushed "T-thank you." She said.

"Mia we still need to look for clues! I think tonight when they preform, I will sneak into Joker's tent and look for stuff." Christina said. "A-are you sure?!" Mia asked, "Yes, after I'm done with your make-up I'll be off. And while you are preforming don't let Joker nor anyone go near that tent! I am gonna see Ciel and Sebastian as well. Just have fun while I do the work." Christina said then left to get dress. Mia smiled, fun. Since when did she have fun, only when her father was alive. She soon became depressed and walked to a tree, as she walked closer she saw yellow roses. "Aren't they lovely?" Someone said. She quickly turned around and saw Joker.

"Oh, Joker you scared me." Mia said, he smiled and picked the flowers. "Here, a welcome to your new home!" He said. She blushed and took the flowers, "Thank you." She said. "No need to thank me, I'm just me." He said. "Sorry if I'm being rude but what happen to your right arm?" She asked. "Oh don't worry, I wasn't born with it. You see the professional crew including myself , we're all family. We knew each other from a very young age, each one of us were consider freaks. Because we were missing arms, legs, or something. We had to work together to survive. But one day father took us and now were here." He said. Mia felt bad, but was also doing her job, who was this father? She also noticed a rose imprint on his fake arm.

"Oh I'm sorry, but I understand how you feel." Mia said. "You do how? If you don't mind me asking." Joker said. "It's ok, my father died when I was young and well my mother didn't care for me. But Thorn, my sister who is actually my best friend, we took care of each other. Her past is more depressing then mine to be honest." Mia said. "It's okay, I believe we all had something in our past that is depressing." He said then patted her head. She blushed, "Oh well we should go, Thorn should do your make-up. I'm very excited to see your preform tonight! Well good talk, we should do this more often." Joker said then walked back to his tent.

As Mia walked back to her and Christina's tent, she knew for the first time she felt love. "Oh hi Mia. Did you get any information?" Christina asked. Mia ran to her and hugged her, "O-oh.." Christina was speechless. "Oh Christina! I think I love Joker!" Mia said. "W-what! Well...I'm happy for you." Christina said. "Now, let me get your make-up ready for lover boy~" she teased. "W-what!" Mia said blushing, "Just kidding, now close your eyes." Christina said. "Oh, I forgot to mention. Joker said something about this man called Father. Also, on his fake arm there is a rose imprint on it, maybe that will help as well." Mia said. "Mmm, maybe when I get into his tent I'll fine something, but right now do what Ciel told us to do." Christina said. Mia nodded, once she was done with her make-up she left to go with the circus.

As Christina was walking around she saw a man, with glasses and brown hair. He had green eyes, she looked right at him. She remember that reapers have green yellowish eyes and glasses. Her eyes widen as she knew this man was a grim  reaper. When everyone went to preform, Christina snuck into Joker's tent. "Now let's see." She said to herself. She first looked in his desk but had found nothing. As she looked in his box she found a picture of the circus crew, but different. She knew this had something to do with the case, so she took it. As she looked around the room, she went to his bed and found a letter under his pillow. She opened the letter up, and was shocked of what she found.

"WHAT! NO!" she quietly yelled to herself. She then heard the members walking back. She took the latter and ran out of the tent not the woods. "That was a close one." She said to herself, she waited by the spot Ciel told her to wait. After a while, Ciel and Sebastian appeared. She jumped up and kissed Ciel, "I miss you." She said hugging him, "I miss you too, everything is okay?" He asked. "Yes, I found some stuff and Mia did to. But there was something you should look at." She said and handed him the letter. As he opened it, he was also shocked. "Sebastian! Why is my name on here!" Ciel asked. "I don't know sir." Sebastian said. "I also found this picture." Christina said handing Sebastian the picture.

"Mia said as she was talking to Joker, he had a rose imprint on his fake arm, and also he talked about this man called father." Christina said. "Ahh, She's right. The imprint is on his ring and is in the letter. I believe this is the man we are looking for." Sebastian said. "One last thing too, I saw a grim reaper, someone is gonna die." Christina said. "Oh, well then I have nothing much to say but thank you. Good job Christina, tell Mia that as well. Keep doing your jobs and we'll come back tomorrow. Bye my love." He said then gave Christina a kiss and walked away. She smiled and walked back to her tent to see Mia and Joker talking. "OH! Did I interpret something?" Christina asked. Mia blushed, "N-no! Well kinda..." Mia said blushing. Christina laughed and walked in the tent, "Now, look Mr.Joker! If you want to take my big sister out on a date, then make sure you treat her like a goddess! Thank you!" Christina said smiling.

"T-Thorn! We are not going on a date! Are we?" Mia asked. "Haha! Well I don't mind, Pastel seems very cute. Well I got to go, see you both later." Joker said then left. "Christina!" Mia said, "What I did you a favor!" Christina said smiling. "Uhhhh I'm too scare!" Mia said. "So you guys are going on a date!?" Christina asked. "I don't know! Maybe uhh!" Mia said. "It's okay, I was joking. Anyways I talked with Ciel and Sebastian. Geez I found some shocking news as well." Christina said. After telling Mia everything, she really didn't want to believe her new friends are killers. They seem too nice and happy to be, but then again Joker was right. Some people have things in the past that is too depressing.
