~ Brittany's Point of View ~
We arrived to the Circus of the Damned not long after leaving the house. Thankfully we listened to music I can stand and not Rap or Hiphop. While on the way in the car I let my mind wander which I rarely do.
Once there I followed them into the Circus, and I was about to find out why it was called the Circus of the Damned. It was interesting to say the least because I have never been to or seen a Circus like this before, which was also more like a cross between Circus and Carnival. That's what I noticed anyway.
Trichelle, Roxanne, and Cinder laughed at my reactions, but not in a mean way, more in an amused way. I didn't take it personally and just smiled rolling my eyes as we walked.
"Where are we going to go first?" I asked with my writing book.
"How about we show her the Lamia?" Trichelle said to Roxanne and Cinder. Who nodded in agreement.
"That would be a good place to start." Cinder said. And we all headed to towards where the Lamia whatever that was, that they refused to tell me because they wanted it to be a surprise for me, was located. After I used the restroom quickly before we did.
On the way my mind wandered again which was apparently happening more often lately, which also made my mind feel strangely fuzzy. Luckily it didn't distract me enough to not notice when Trichelle, Roxanne, and Cinder stopping which made me stop as well, I blinked rapidly and looked at them then where they were looking and saw two male Vampires walking towards us.
"They are Jean-Claude the Master Vampire of the city of St. Louis and his second in command Asher." Cinder whispered. Her voice sounded breathy and looked lustful along with Trichelle and Roxanne even though they were gay and not bisexual.
"That's interesting." I thought as I watched the Vampires coming closer towards us.
"Good evening Mademoiselle's I am Jean-Claude the Master of this City and this is second in command and close my friend Asher." Jean-Claude the dark haired Master Vampire said while kissing each of their hands and then mine last, along with Asher who hadn't spoke yet.
"Hello I'm Trichelle." Trichelle said smiling a friendly smile.
"I'm Roxanne, or Roxie to people I like." Roxanne said smiling the same smile.
"And I'm Cinder." Cinder said with the same smile.
When everyone's eyes turned towards me, though without helping it my eyes focused on Jean-Claude's and Asher's and I saw that they had blue eyes as well, Jean-Claude's were like midnight blue sky but also like when the ocean is deep and dark. And Asher's were like a winter sky but also like a husky's eyes. For a while I stood frozen.
"I'm Brittany." I finally wrote once I snapped out of whatever daze I was in.
"It's nice to meet all of you." Asher finally spoke while smiling a calm friendly and charming smile that Jean-Claude also had.
"It's nice to meet you both as well." Trichelle said smiling. And Roxanne and Cinder nodded in agreement with her along with me.
Though I noticed most of the Vampires attention was on me, making me blush for a minute or two.
"Are you four going somewhere specific? We can accompany you if you would like." Jean-Claude asked then said offering.
"We were going to show Brittany the Lamia." Cinder said.
"You are both more welcome to join us." Trichelle said as Roxanne wrapped around her nodding in agreement.
Cinder nodded in agreement as well. As she and Trichelle and Roxanne started leading the way.
