Abolish didn’t know why he was here, at some circus in the middle of nowhere, that was at least until he saw the ring master. He was inhumanly beautiful, wearing a black sparkly coat and top hat, with a bright red ribbon secured by a black rose broach
“hello everyone I’m Scott and Welcome to the Oakhurst circus” A round of cheers erupted from the crowd, and abolish took time to notice how when the man smiled he could see sharp fangs poking out of his mouth.
“for our first act we have Shelby the tight rope walker “ he gestured dramatically to the sky where a young girl with bright red hair streaked with white was standing holding a long pole she
started walking across the thin rope with ease. He noticed Scott watching Shelby intensely weather it was to make sure she didn’t make any mistakes or to assist if she did he couldn’t tell. When she made it across the crowd Erupted once more in a round of applause. Shelby gave a bow and the spotlight returned to Scott
“Next up we have Owen out beast tamer” and the spotlight shifted to a scrawny young man in a red blouse compared to Scott and Shelby he looked quite plain but practical. The creaking of a giant iron gate thundered though the arena and a Pack of four wolves stalked into the arena. He heard many audience members gasp or look sure the man was about to be mauled but he wasn’t Owen just glared at them and the wolves froze Owen walked to them deliberately each step he took made the wolves back up two until finally they were back in the cage. A round of slightly more hesitant applause broke out from the crowd
“And for our final act of the night Pyro and Apo”
Two people entered the tent one was riding a unicycle wearing a clown costume with sheer sleeves, the other one was a boy who he assumed was the aptly named pyro as he was wearing a black trench coat with embroidered flames he also was carrying three lit torches. He started to juggle and Apo honked their nose promptly went up the haughtiest guy in the audience and offered him a flower the man tried to take the flower(oh great he was haughty and stupid) but was. Instead sprayed with water, which sent the audience reeling with laughter. When both of them were done with their sets they bowed and rushed off
“Well dear friends I do hope you enjoyed our show tonight” the audience clapped more as Scott bowed
Abolish knew they were vampires he had known from the white of their hair and sharpness of their teeth, but to be honest they weren’t doing anything wrong, Sure some of their carnival games were scams but so were most games at carnivals. Still he wanted to figure out who in charge in case the caused trouble In the future, he was sure Shelby and Apo weren’t elders, he couldn’t place how old but probably still Fledglings, pyro seemed younger then Scott but still like he had respect in the hierarchy, Owen and Scott both seemed old though Scott seemed much more powerful. It was odd to see to older vampires in the same place, vampires especially Elder vampires who had Fledglings were extremely territorial. He was pulled out of his
wonderings when he heard commotion up ahead. He saw some man grabbing pyros (who had been doing a smaller performance) arm and jaw roughly
“He's a vampire and I can prove it “ despite being about a half a foot taller then the man Pyro couldn’t rip himself from his captor. Abolish was about to intervene when a familiar voice echoed across the clearing
“Gets your hands off him or I will have you forcefully removed” everyone’s head snapped towards Scott as he Stalked over to pyro
“no he’s a vampire “ the man screamed again Scott shook his head slightly in defeat before landing a kick to the mans knee causing him to fall over. Pyro upon being freed hid himself behind Scott, rubbing the sore spots where the man had grabbed him
“You must vacate the premise immediately “ the man pulled himself to his feet
“I’ll prove it eventually” Scott just rolled his eyes and wrapped an arm around pyro
Well that answered his question Scott was definitely the sire.
