Meet the family
"Zoella what are you filling her head with? I thought I told you to leave," he said as he leaned in my face. His nose almost touching mine. I stayed calm, it's almost like I got use to him. "Don't call me Zoella. Call me Zoe," she snapped. He turned his attention to her. "And if I don't," he smirked and she looked away. "So why is she still here," he asked with a harsher tone to his voice. "She she.... she wants to join the circus," Zoe blurted out. Seems I wasn't the only one intimidated by him. "Hm? Really," he said almost seductively and I stiffened. Why would she tell him that!?
Dan smirked before saying,"Ok princess follow me." He walked towards the main tent. Zoe followed him quickly and I guess my legs just moved on there own. I could have ran. I had so many chances to leave, yet the feeling of being trapped was setting in. Various voices could be heard from the tent. The atmosphere became cold. That tingling feeling like you know something is going to jump scare you. That anxious punch you feel in your stomach.
I walked though the the door to see a lot of other circus members. There were twins sitting down talking amongst themselves, an extremely flexible girl sitting in a knot on the floor, a boy on a big ball, a guy sitting on a motorcycle, and finally a man in a top hat with a small doll on his shoulder talking to a man holding a cane. As soon as they saw me everything went quiet. Their eyes looked almost murderus, yet it softened when they saw Daniel. "Who's this," said the twins running up to me. They spoke at the same time, it made me feel unsettled. "She wants to play," smirked Dan and they smiled a wide almost frightening smile. They looked completely identical. Blond hair, pale skin, and beautiful green eyes. I felt a shiver go up my spine. "She won't be here very long," said Zoe. "That's not very nice Zoe," smiled the man with the doll. "Shut it Joe," she snapped. "Now what made you so angry," he smiled. "This is Joe. He's Zoella's brother. Also the puppeteer of our little family," said Dan and Joe bowed. He looked so nice. Like this brunette man found his perfect calling. He had such a gentleman like aura around him. "Nice to meet you my lady," he smiled and I nodded. "He only entertains brats outside the tent," said the man holding the cane. "Luke you're just jealous because my dolls are more attractive than you," Joe smiled. "Never said I was attractive," he smirked. "Luke is our games and food manager. A talentless man for a pointless reason," Dan sighed. "Just because Im not here to make ladies swoon doesn't mean I'm talentless," he said back almost bored. His bright red hair accented is bright blue eyes. Although they weren't as bright as Philip's. "If you say so," said Dan rolling his eyes. The flexible girl ran up to me. "Hello my name is Louise. Nice to meet you my dear," she smiled as she took my hand and shook it vigorously. Her blonde hair in a ponytail bouncing behind her. She was bursting with enthusiasm. Before I could say anything the boy on the ball ran to me and jumped in my face.
"My name is Crabsticks," he grinned brushing his brunette hair out of his eyes. "Crabsticks? Odd name," I though but proceeded to nod. "I picked my name myself. Way better than the old one," he said proudly and I forced a smile. "I'm PJ. I do the stunts here," said the man who was on his motorcycle. He also had brunette colored hair, but his was a little curly. "Where's Phillip," asked Dan. "Where do you think," sassed Louise. "With the damn animals ," sighed Dan. "I told him to meet up here. Well regardless, we got 4 children chosen. You all know what to do. It's almost show time," he continued as he walked away. I didn't know where to follow or not. Till everyone else began to scatter. The air in the tent began to feel more ominous. It became deathly quiet. My breathing began to sound louder the more I stood there. "I think I should go," I thought. I turn around to see the twins right behind me.
"Is she leaving Jack," One asked the other. "I think she is Finn," said Jack. Their smiles grew darker and I felt stiff. "That's not good," Finn responded.
"We would hate to see you die so fast," they said together. The way they spoke. It was almost like they were mocking me. Like they were teasing me even though their eyes said differently. "Die?" I thought as I took a step back and a hand landed on my shoulder.
I screamed.
