Also you guys Juliette changes every other day..like if she was good Juliette on Monday on Tuesday she would be bad Juliette. And I'm going to change it from her fainting to her just waking up and being that other person.
I am nothing but a mouthful of 'sorry's, half-hearted apologies that roll of my tongue, smoothquick, like 'r's or maybe like pocket candy that's just a bit too sweet.

I really hated my current situation.
I had been sent to work on the tents with Oliver. However, as if his optimism wasn't bad enough, Aron appeared and began joining him. Still, maintaining a good image was the key to influence, so I pretended to enjoy romping along with them.
Eventually, though, I couldn't stand it anymore. "Guys, we have work to do, lets go, " I said.I dissipated and began my part of the work.
*I've got you covered jok, I really wish you had a different power though. Maybe later if something gets annoying you can lose control and get stuck with one power. IDK maybe its just me.
Aron~
After helping Zach and Oliver unload the tents and equipment I decided to go out for a little while. I kind of snuck out because I didn't want any company. The sun was shining brightly and their was a light breeze. I stopped after about two miles to rest, but then I sensed him. I could see his trail. Now, I can have some excitement I thought.
I followed the trail stealthily until it ended at a makeshift tree house. This boy I knew had powers so I prepared myself then called "Come on out."
His head stuck out and he looked down at me. "Hello, I am Charlie" he calls.
I took the next few moments to really examine his energy. Then finally I figured out what his power was. It was so powerful I could never let him into camp I thought, but Nick would want to see him.
"Hi, I'm Aron" I called back.
I didn't want this boy to find anything unnecessary about me and so I decided to make it clean and simple.
"Follow me back to camp if you want to meet someone who can help you."
I turned and began walking, I really didn't want him to follow me it would be bad for all of us in the long run, but to my chagrin he jumped down and started walking slightly beside me.
"If the king doesn't lead, how can he expect his subordinates to follow?"
Landing was always difficult, even without Zanette screaming at me from the back of my mind. There was all the precision needed, the fact that if I messed up, I was going to break my bones. You know, no stress.
Still, flying was worth it, better than listening to those idiots down on the ground. Even the landing was funner than listening to Doofus McDoofus go on about his circus act as if his power meant something. As far as I was concerned, or rather, we were concerned, we were freaks, and that sucked, no matter how many twinkly lights were generated.
I breathed in as the ground drew towards me. This was it. My trainers skidded onto the ground, wings still out and flapping.
We laughed as I wobbled forwards, having completed a perfect landing. Then I caught sight of one of the idjits of the circus staring at me.
"What d'you want, moron? Don't you know you shouldn't stare at freaks?"
Zanette
"God, I'm sorry about that! Please, don't take any notice of her, OK? I'm not crazy."
((Cue anyone))
This guy is so evil you could put him in between two slices of bread and call him an evil sandwich.
"God, I'm sorry about that! Please, don't take any notice of her, OK? I'm not crazy."
"Not crazy? You just contradicted yourself and referred to yourself as another person. Your gonna have to work on your 'not crazy' argument," I smirked. It was a lot more satisfying to torment the others than attempt to like them. At this point though, it may be a good time to stop. Almost all of the others glared at me when they saw me, and overall I didn't have a good reputation.
Ignoring Zanette, I strode away. I spotted Aron enter the camp with a new recruit. I went over to see more, dissipating as I stepped.
"Now, I'm gonna take you to the leader of our little group- Nick," Aron was saying. "I- just be prepared." Aron sounded nervous. Could it be something to do with the new guy's powers? I followed them to Nick.
I know it's just the other side of Juliette, that the side I...Well, never mind that. The point is, what she said had stung me. Bad. I dejectedly turn around, knowing that I'll have to deal with what will seem like two Kilis. My ultimate nightmare. I mutter something general about setting up for dinner, and turn away, just as Zephyra lands in front of me, startling me. I blink and stare, not something that I usually do.
"What d'you want, moron? Don't you know you shouldn't stare at freaks?" she snarls. I turn away from her, too.
"Great," I mutter, "Now I have to deal with two alter egos. Wonderful."
But Zephyra has already changed back to being Zanette, and is apologizing profusely.
"God, I'm sorry about that! Please, don't take any notice of her, OK? I'm not crazy."
"It's alright, Zanette. It's just, you know...Juliette's going though it, as well. And Kili's not helping."
Zanette nods.

I was still curious about what was going on between Else and Eden, knowing I wasn't going to get much information out of her. I was walking around the camp, helping whoever needed help. Trying to stay out of people's way if I could.
There was a sudden feeling in the back of my head, it was hard to explain, but very uncomfortable. I knew immediately it was the bond between Eden and myself. I went to go search for her, knowing exactly where she was, up in a tree near the outskirts of the camp. Of course I still had to look around for her for there was more than one tree.
I finally found her, her eyes somewhat glazed and distant until I called up to her.
"Eden, what is it?" I asked. She shrugged slightly, coming down from her post. "I'm going to go find Aron." She said, taking off at a light run before I could protest. I sighed then made my way to help set up dinner.
Eden Psychic telekinetic
I finally found Aron meeting the boy Charlie. He turns around, and looks confused that I'm here. I just smile at him and turn back to the boy. "I'm Eden." I introduced sticking out my hand. Power practically radiated from him. I wondered really, why I suddenly picked up his signal. I had never met him before of course, then again being a psychic had its quirks.
When you Climb you succeed. When you fall you die.
This place was strange just as my old dreams had made it look. The strangest was good, the warm feel from to many stage lights and the lingering smell of a camp fire made the circus feel cosy, even if Aron was acting a bit distant to me. Once we got to the circus that was in the prosess of being dismantled for the journey to a new location. I couldn't lie, the amount of powers around me made my power scream out in hunger, I had fed it once I would not feed it again. As a girl walked over to me I thought I was about to break that promise.
"I'm Eden" She said sticking out her hand in a friendly manner. I smiled shaking her hand and feeling her power copy onto me, it felt as though fresh warmth rushed through me filling every inch of my being, a sudden rush of diseyness struck me and I fell back. Aron managed to catch me. It only took a few seconds for me to regain my balence but I still felt tired and dizzy.
"what was that?" Eden asked. I looked around ,not answering Eden's question, and saw a pile of metal pipes. I pointed my hand at them willing something to happen, nothing did.
"I guess you have a mental ability then" I said, as I put my hand back to my side the pipes scraped across the floor.
"wow, you have my ability" Eden said.
"more like I copied it but yeah, cool" and it was this was the first time I'd ever met some one with that power.
"can you do this?" Eden asked running over to one of the metal pipes and made it expand from the inside out. I smiled and tried it, their was some creaking and cracking but I couldn't get the pipe to do what I wanted. This was even better than I thought it was rare to find an ability I didn't instantly know how to use.
"it's okay it took me a while to make it work too" Eden said smiling and coming back over.
"we should see Nick" Aron said and started trotting over to a boy about my age.
**Sorry I didn't reply sooner, Ambie! This is what I get for being British, y'know.**
Sam. Can clone himself.
"You mean, like, perform?" the two Sams asked, turning their identical heads in Maeve's direction. She nodded, and they looked at each other. Sam sighed, and the clone disappeared. Standing up, he brushed a small bit of dirt off his cut-offs while trying to work out what to say.
His obvious answer was no. No, no, no, no. He hated attention. Sam had never wanted to perform. He was content doing odd jobs around the circus. And even if the performing part wasn't a factor, working, and talking, with someone else wasn't really a prospect he enjoyed. Sam had managed on his own before. Hell, he enjoyed being on his own.
But maybe, just maybe, it wouldn't be so bad. He could still tidy up afterwards, if he wanted. And he could probably stay in the background a bit, let Maeve do the entertaining.
"Well," he said after a pause, "what exactly were you thinking here?"
"It is curious how often you humans manage to obtain that which you do not want."
I smiled slightly, but the touch from his hand had brought a swelling feeling of hunger. It was then, I had noticed that the information wasn't from Charlie. I was about to say something until my vision clouded over. In my minds eyes I saw men, old men, adults in suits.
Vapid faces or fake smiles were plastered on each of there faces. My hands shook lightly. They weren't good, I knew that. They just stood there, unmoving. "Why are they standing? What do they want?" I whispered feeling nauseous. I could feel Eve's hands grip my shoulder firmly. I didn't see her walk up, and in fact I didn't see her at all, I was still focused on the vision.
"Eden what's wrong?" Eve asked, knocking me out of my trance. I hadn't had a moment like this in years. I had thought that being around so many people, like us, had dulled my mental sense. Apparently it hadn't.
"People." Was all I said, until the vision became more of a reminiscent memory. My mind blocking it out on auto pilot. "People." I said again looking back at Charlie. "I'm so sorry. Please tell me you didn't copy this." I referred to the psychic ability. Eve looked from me to Charlie with wide eyes. "Copy?" She wondered. "Later eve." I told her.
Eve Enchantress
I looked from Charlie to Eden. "Copy?" I wondered. "Later Eve." My twin told me. Usually I would demand an answer, but Eden's sudden breakdown had frightened me. We had worked hard to put walls up around things like this, but now it they started to crumble and I could feel it through the bond.
"I'm Eve." I introduced, not letting go of Eden. Eve started to pull away slightly. I knew when she got like this it was no use to fight her. No use at all. When she got like this her telekinesis could get slightly out of control.
"What was wrong with the people?" Charlie asked.
"They are bad, the future may be bad, something. Just something." Eden mumbled.
When you Climb you succeed. When you fall you die.
She let out a breath of relief, thinking that at least he hadn't said no. Now, she cleared her throat and shuffled awkwardly.
"Give me your hand?" She asked quietly, and when he looked at her suspiciously, she said "I promise I won't hurt you or anything, I just want to show you what I can do." Shyly and carefully, he presented his hand out to her. When she touched it, she looked up at him.
"Ready? Ok, don't freak out..." Her form flickered slightly, and then changed into Sam. She heard him take in a breath. "Hey, I said don't freak out." Her voice now matched Sam'.
"Well, anyways, I was thinking....With my ability, I transform into you, and then you could clone yourself many times, to freak the crowd out!" She smiled, and waited patiently for his answer.
The news, my most guarded secret, spread like wildfire through the camp. What I found out was, though, they were very accepting. And Kili hated it. My life had gone from a nightmare to a screwed up dream. But even if every single one of them aproved and Nick hated it, it wouldn't matter. Only if Nick thought it was okay. I saw him from the far side of the camp and took a deep breath.
I ran up to him, "Nick have you heard?"
"I have," he said, his tone held slight disapprovement, "I just wish you had told me. Your still the same person. It not like you changed or anything, I just know one more thing about you." His voice was soft and warm by he end, and a huge smile spread across my face.
"So I can stay?" I asked.
"I can't imagine the circus without you.You are one of our best acts. And now, I won't have to lie when I say human." He laughed, and I joined in.
Maybe this would be okay. Maybe this was my dream. I wasn't holding secrets to my chest, the cat was out of the bag. And I am glad it got out. Nick finally knew the truth, and maybe, just maybe...
"Nick, could you do me one favor. I can't read or write either. And I was wondering..."
"I would be glad to help." He said. I didn't know how it was possible, but my smile got even bigger.
Love is beautiful, but what would love be without life?
Freak the crowd out, Sam thought. That wasn't really what he wanted to do. He didn't want to be the one that everyone was staring at. But they wouldn't be staring at him, not really. He took one look at Maeve's face and smiled reluctantly. "Fine, I'll do it. But if someone throws tomatoes at me then I walk." She laughed and he carried on smiling, albeit still awkwardly. Sam wasn't sure about this, but life was supposed to be full of twists.
There was some noise at the edge of camp. Sam turned his head towards it and raised an eyebrow. "Looks like there's someone else here, someone new." Maeve turned in the same directions and Sam cocked his head slightly. "I'm going to go check it out."
"It is curious how often you humans manage to obtain that which you do not want."
"Nick, we have one problem, what if the others want me out. It would be unwise to go against popular opinion. It could tear the circus apart." I said.
"We could take a vote." He suggested. he wasn't frowning, but he wasn't smiling either. I searched his face, trying to read his emotions. I was looking for a sign, something that would say he still wanted to be friends, or even more. That we could still be friends, even though I was a freak among freaks.
"That would work. You need to keep your circus in one piece, right?" I let out a forced laugh. His laugh sounded even more forced than mine.
"I am going back to my tent." I said.
"Okay," he said. I waved goodbye. I entered my tent. I picked up a guitar I had had for as long as I could remember. I strummed a few sad chords of my favorite song. Then I switched to a song I wrote as a kid. it was one of the only memories I had of my parents. It was a silly song, but it always cheered me up.
The sky's are grey 'Cause an elephants in the sky But I am gonna take my shotgun And no more elephant there'll be So big elephant Don't make me kill you Just get out of my sky And let the blue-jay in Cause he's a friend of mine The blue jay is a friend of mine. And don't forget the sky sheep They can come too. Let the yellow daisy bring light to my day. The sky's are grey Cause an elephants in the sky But I am gonna take my shotgun And no more elephant there'll be.
By the end I was half crying, half laughing. I remembered my mothers face as I sang my song. She had clapped and congratulated me. My father wasn't there, and I had no memories of him. But I had some of mom. And that was enough for me.
Love is beautiful, but what would love be without life?
