Book Of Circus ~ 5
'All my friends from heathens take it slow
Wait for them to ask you who you know
Please don't make any sudden moves
You don't know the half of the abuse. . .'
I sing in my head as I stare at the ceiling of my tent. My legs were now broken and I don't know how long the needle was in my neck. All I know is that my body is numb to the bone. I can hardly see anything because of my blurry eyesight and I cannot move a muscle. Not anymore.
I can hear the shouts from Joker, telling everyone that the show is going to start soon, and hear the footsteps hurrying to their spots. I can only hear what goes on from the inside of tent. "Black! Wendy seems to have twisted her ankle! I need you to take her place in the trapeze." I hear Joker's footsteps running over to Black. Looks like Joker is carrying Wendy on his back with Peter following.
"Me? Do you think I am the right match of that sort?" Black questions.
"From your talents, you can do anything. We're counting on you, Black!" Joker runs off. There is silence and whispering coming from Black and Smile. I am too weak to hear. So I close my eyes and sleep until it is my turn to perform. But I cannot sleep because it will be my turn to perform soon.
I can feel someone shaking me awake gently. It was probably Dagger or Beast. "Moon, can you hear me?" It was Smile's voice. What was he doing here? . . . He's going to get caught. . . I open my eyes and see Smile looking at me with worry. "Are you alright? Can you speak?" He questions me. I cannot answer him. It's pointless for me to speak. Smile notices the needle in my neck and follows the trail that leads underneath my bed. His eyes widen, seeing the bag of muscle relaxer, and looks at me again. "Don't worry, I'm getting you out of here." He removes the blanket from me and his eyes widen again, followed by a light gasp when he sees the damage done to my legs. "Your legs. . ." He says with shock.
Smile was in here for a reason. So, I decided to give him a hand. With little strength I had in me, I was able to move my finger and point to the small trunk on the other side of the tent. I am telling him to look in there. Smile sees my pointer finger pointing at the trunk and he snoops through it.
"What's this now? . . Coleman Orphanage?" He says as he pulls out a picture and walks over to me, showing me the Orphanage I use to live at. That's why Coleman is my last name. And I gave myself the name Moon. "Is this is where you are from? Did you use to live here?" Smile questions.
I give him a slight nod. Smile goes back to going through my trunk and pulls out another photo. He comes back over to me and shows me another picture. It was what Joker and the others use to look like and with them was the Mad Man. . . This made my eyes slightly widen.
"You know this man, don't you? Where is he? Where can I find him?" Smile asks me. I can only mouth out the words.
"Work. . . House. . ."
"Workhouse. . . ? An Orphanage?" Smile asks me again. I slowly shake my head, not knowing it that place was an orphanage or not. But then my eyes widen again and warn Smile to hide because I can hear footsteps coming closer and closer to my tent.
Smile hides under my bed and Beast enters into my tent. "Come on, Mari. Let's get you ready." Beast walks over to me and carries me on her back. I can only hope that she didn't see Smile enter my tent or anything, or else he will be punished by the Mad Man too.
After Doll's performance, Joker set me up and strung me up to the ceiling. Here we go. . . Show time. . . After my part, the circus went on. Dagger lowered me down and Joker set me on his back. "Another good job tonight, Mari. Let's get you something to eat." Joker smiles at me. Good job? I didn't do a thing. Hell, I couldn't move.
"Is it alright if I take her? She must be exhausted. I'll make sure she gets her rest." Black appears out of nowhere and smiles.
"Are yee sure, mate? Do you even know where her tent is? It's private like Snake's." Black wasn't even allowed to be near the forbidden tents. Only first stringers are allowed. But then again, he did come into my tent and examined me. "Besides, I'm not sure if that's a good idea."
"It will be no trouble." Black gives Joker a convincing smile.
"Alright then. Here yee are." Joker hands me over to Sebastian and he carries me bridal style. "Make sure you tuck her in good. It gets cold at night."
"Will do. Have a good night." Black smiles one more time at Joker before taking his leave with me in his arms. But we didn't go to my tent. We went to his tent where Smile was. I thought Smile at a tent with Doll? What is going on here?
"Good, you managed to get her." Smile says before looking at me.
"My lord, she is unable to speak. Just as you told me, she's been given a heavier dosage this time. She cannot speak nor move. It's going to take a long while before she can fully recover." Black tells him.
"Then we have no other choice. I will not allow this abuse to continue any longer. Sebastian, this is an order: Get Moon away from her and take her back to the townhouse. Make sure she is well again, and then I will ask her the questions that I need to be answered. Come get me in the morning." Did Smile just call Black, Sebastian? Who are these people?
"Understood, my Lord." Black replies with a smile. I wanted to tell them to stop or, 'They can't do this', but more can I do? I'm useless in this state. Black carries me off, but we are stopped by Suit. His tool was attacking Black and Black managed to dodge the attacks to quickly. "You're in the way again. This won't do at all." Black glares at Suit. Something tells me that these two men are not human. I know for sure that Black isn't human at all.
"And where do you think you're going?" Suit questions Black. Something is definitely not right.
