i threw every single one of the knives perfectly so that they showed a complete, perfect circle outline of each of the target rings. i obviously didn't forget to throw in a bullseye shot. "so, whats next?" i smiled sweetly.

we were then escorted to the tightrope in the main tent. Ciel had to go first again. the girl that walked it on the night of the performance was up there too. she tied a rope around Ciel's waist and sent him out to balance on the thin wire.

the nearly fell almost instantly, but again, thanks to me and my brother flicking stones, he didn't fall, "I'm impressed 'e managed to recover after tha'" said -Joker i think his name was. by the time Ciel had made it to the other side Sebastian and i were both laughing messes!

we had had to flick so many stones that Ciel was sure to be covered in bruises tomorrow. when it came to my turn, i danced and twirled along the tightrope, refusing the rope. i was halfway across the wire when i felt a sharp pain on the back of my head and i felt something get stuck in my hair. i reached my hand back to feel for it and when i looked at what had fallen into my hand, i scowled.

a stone. real mature, Sebastian.

i threw it back at him but obviously he stepped out of the way.

i danced my way to the end of the wire and climbed the ladder down. "anything else?" Ciel asked, rubbing one of his arms.

"only one final test. i wan' to see a grea', big smile from ye both." Joker beamed.

my smile came almost instantaneously along with some laughter as i watched Ciel's face witch weirdly a few times before he lifted his face, only now, it had a huge smile plastered upon it. i must admit, it was... urghhh.... p-positively....... adorable. there. i said it. Ciel Phantomhive has an adorable smile.

"i think its safe te say ye both passed the audition. now, Dagger will escor' all of ye to the practice tent so ye can all show off ye skills and practise for the show in two days."

howdy! sorry for the spectacularly short chapter but i was bored and i just realised that i cant get anywhere without a circus name for you guys. i know i published the message about it like 6 hours ago but i just really want to feel like i have gotten back on track with my account. i know that is a little selfish but please forgive me.

i am giving you guys until Saturday 10th of June to submit some ideas. also, anyone that submits an idea may be featured in the story as your own character whether that is you irl or your OC. just tell me what the character will look like, an age group e.g 12-14(i don't wanna ask for anything personal) and stage name.

love ya! xxx
