Venus woke up with a slight groan. She went to sit up but felt Strawberry's tight grip around her. she heard slight sniffles coming from the smaller girl. Venus placed a hand on Strawberry's back and gently rubbed it.
"Hey... hey what's wrong...?" Venus whispered
With that strawberry saw up. She looked at Venus then wiped away her tears. She went to jump out of the bed but Venus grabbed her arm.
"Hey... what's up...?" Venus asked
"L- last night was a bad idea... you shouldn't be here..." Strawberry muttered
"What... why?"
"I- I'm going to get in trouble..."
"Why...?"
"D- Dave doesn't like me talking to people... oh god... oh god I'm going to be in so much trouble! I was just so caught up in the fact that you're... you're you! And..." she started pulling on her hair "oh god I'm in so much trouble..."
"Woah woah woah... who's... Dave...?" He pulled Strawberry's hands away from her hair
"T- the circus owner..."
"Wait... is he hurting you...?"
Strawberry went quiet. She covered her mouth with a hand. Tears started rolling down her face. Venus placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Strawberry... is he hurting you...?" Venus asked in a firm tone
"I- I've said too much haven't I...?" Strawberry whispered
"No... if he's hurting you I want you to tell me..."
"He has... a few times... but... I- it was never anything major..."
"Show me..."
"W- what...?"
"Please show me..."
Strawberry hesitated for a minute then turned so her back was facing Venus. Slowly she started pulling off her shirt. Venus's eyes widened as she looked at the scars on Strawberry's skin.
Strawberry had several scars on her back. Some of them from just a few weeks earlier. Venus placed a hand on her back and traced her fingers over one of the older looking scars.
"My god... does... does it hurt...?" Venus whispered
"It used to... but after a while it stopped..." Strawberry muttered
"You can't stay here... not with that lunatic..." she turned Strawberry to face her
"w- what are you suggesting...?"
"I- I know I've not even known you for three full days but..." she took Strawberry's hands in her own "c- come and live with me..."
"W- what?" Her eyes widened
"You can't stay in the circus... not if he's hurting you... I- I care about you okay... I don't want you to get hurt"
Strawberry but her bottom lip. She desperately wanted to go and live with Venus. She had been in love with her for years. Strawberry had tears forming in her eyes. She slowly started nodded. She didn't want to be hurt anymore...
Venus tightly wrapped her arms around Strawberry. The circus singer smiled and started crying into Venus's shoulder. Venus slowly and gently rubbed Strawberry's back.

Two hours later

"Alright so... why isn't Dave here again...?" Kelly asked
"Because he's an asshole!" Harry sighed, rolling his eyes
"You think he's an asshole too...?" The clown asked. He was a tall man with blonde hair and freckles on his cheeks. His name was Tom
"Obviously..."
"Before we start getting you all measured for outfits... I want to talk to you all" Venus sighed, looking down at Strawberry's hand in her own
"You're not cancelling are you...?" Kelly asked
"No! No definitely not. I just wanted to ask you... how many of you have been... hurt by Dave...?" Venus watched as most of them raised their hands "I see... well I would like to suggest... getting a new owner. Perhaps one of you. He's not a good person and technically speaking we could get him put in prison..."
"Yeah... yeah you're right!" Tom yelled
"Fight back against the power!" Harry cheered

After a while of talking they all went off to get measured. Venus went with Strawberry. She waited outside the changing room as she was measured up for an outfit.
A few minutes later Strawberry walked out of the room. She was wearing the dress that Venus had designed as well as some black tights and white flat pumps. The dress was a perfect fit.
"Oh my god... you look beautiful..." Venus whispered
"Really...?" Strawberry whispered
"Yeah..."
Venus placed a hand on Strawberry's hip. She then pulled her into a kiss. Strawberry's face was covered in a bright blush. One of Venus's dress makers had seen this. She covered her mouth with her hands.
"M- Miss winter..." she muttered
"Oh... oh hey..." Venus whispered, moving away from Strawberry
"The other clients are ready..."
"Perfect"
Venus took Strawberry's hand in her own and lead her to where the magic happened. The photography room was huge. It had a variety of backgrounds and lots of experience looking equipment and lights. There were also green backgrounds.
Strawberry looked around the room. She then looked over at a man wearing all black. He was a rather tall man. He had dark skin and short black, curled hair. He was looking around the room at all of the circus people. He then noticed Venus and stormed over to her.
"Venus baby... do you really think these... clowns have what it takes to be models...?" He asked
"Yes Markus... I'm sure they do..." Venus sighed
"If you say so sweetie..." he turned to look at strawberry "she's not with the circus is she...?"
"Not for much longer...?"
"What you mean hun?" He raised an eyebrow
"The owner of the circus is... abusing most of them... Strawberry isn't staying with them anymore" she gripped hold of Strawberry's hand
"Oh I see... is... is this a thing...?" He looked between the two
"Well..."
"I- I guess..." Strawberry whispered
"Yeah..."
"Oh Venus honey! That's fantastic! You've not been in a relationship in ages! So tell all the deeds!" Markus beamed
"Uh... maybe later after the shoot..."
"Oh shit yeah..." he clapped his hands together to get everyone's attention "Alright my babies it's time to get this mother fucker started!"
