Prologue
Dana held on to Clint's hand tightly as he talked to the 'circus people'. She wanted her mom and dad, and she wanted to go home. She wanted to forget about the car accident and she wanted her big brothers to stop fighting. She's scared of the circus people, but they did promise to take good care of her, and she and Clint and Bernard were orphans now...
She started to cry when she realized she had gone with the wrong group, and that her older siblings were halfway across the country by now. What was she supposed to do? What about Clint and Barney? Where was she now?
Dana snapped out of her flashback, and readied herself to jump. She's lived with the circus ever since she was separated from her brothers as a little girl. She takes a big breath, and jumps, grabbing the chalky bar with her hands. She flies through the air with the agility and flexibility she's built up over the years of preforming.
"Dana! Dana it's time for dinner! They finally put the 'slop tent' up, so we can eat 'inside'!" Dana's friend Nelly calls from below the platform she's resting on.
"Be down in mo'!" she yells back. She starts her descent from the platform and sighs as she sets foot on solid ground. She feels more secure in the air. Dana was so deep in thought, she almost didn't notice the man who had walked into the tent.
"Hello Dana," he says, making her jump.
"Um... hi," she replies, squinting at the tall figure. "Who are you?" she snaps, not recognizing him as someone from the circus.
"I'm a friend of your brother's... My name's Trickshot."
