The Dark Circus (O/A)

[Dameon Black]

"Thank you," Dameon said as she slid the rubber collar under his shock collar. He touched the shock collar and was relieved when he wasn't shocked. "A lot better," he said.  

[ShriekingCeltic]

Zaria smiled "just make sure the ringmaster doesnt find out" she said cleaning up the first-aid kit. "so, do you think you can sleep now? because you need to rest" she said laying him down and putting the blanket ontop of him again then she cuddled up to the lion.  

[Dameon Black]

Dameon nodded and closed his eyes. He thought about all that had happened and about how much he liked Zaria. He fell asleep quickly. He dreamed about escaping the circus with Zaria and the lions and running free. The running free part may have been from the beast, but it was still a really good dream.  

[ShriekingCeltic]

Zaria had fallen asleep and was having nightmares about if the ringmaster whould figure out what she did and how he whould torture her, she began to hiss slightly in her sleep. Zaria woke up the next morning beside Dameon insted of the lion only about 5 feet away, she figured she had rolled over a bit.  

[Dameon Black]

Dameon opened his eyes a few seconds after Zaria. He rolled over and saw her. His face turned a little red. "Good morning," he said. His injuries were still hurting a little bit, but he would be fine.  

[ShriekingCeltic]

Zaria yawned and streched out like a cat "good morning" she said as she looked at him "ya, i think i rolled over a bit in my sleep" she said sitting up. "so, how are you feeling?" she asked him as the lions woke up slowly one by one.  

[Dameon Black]

Dameon smiled. "I feel better," he said. "Not great, but better. I'll be fine." He looked at the lions around him. He stretched out and rubbed his eyes, trying to make sure he was fully awake.  

[ShriekingCeltic]

Zaria got up and found a dark purple and black dress and a pair of purple gloves to wear for the day then pulled a big curtain that devided the tent in two, one side with the door and the mini fridge where Dameon was, the other side with all her clothes and where Zaria was getting changed. "im glad your feeling better" she said to him through the curtain.
{a couple more posts then i have to go to bed}  

[Dameon Black]

"I am too," Dameon said. He laid his head back and inhaled deeply. He looked at the lions around him. The beast seemed stranger than usual. It wanted to join the lions and run. It also wanted Zaria to be with them. "I think the beast likes you too," he told Zaria. "It seems to want to run free with you and the lions. It doesn't want to be away from you."  

[ShriekingCeltic]

Zaria smiled at him when she pulled the curtain back after getting changed "so, do you think were supose to go back to the main tent for our normal morning meeting?" she asked him putting out her hand to help him up. "im guessing it because im more like you than any normal human, were both part cat. i mean that whould probably be a reason, because we can relate to eachother better"  

[Dameon Black]

"You're probably roght," Dameon said as he took her hand and stood up. "And we probably should go to the tent for the meeting." He looked quickly at the lions and then kissed Zaria on the lips, hoping the lions wouldn't react badly.  

[ShriekingCeltic]

Zaria smiled, a couple of the lion grumbled a bit but the majority came up to him and purred. Zaria nelt down to pet one then she walked out of the tent, she wistled for the lions to follow, wich they did "come on Dameon, were already a few minuets late" she said to him "do you need some suport walking or are you ok?" she asked not knowing if he hurt his legs.  

[Dameon Black]

"I can walk," Dameon said. He caught up to her and looked at the lions. "So, what usually happens at these meetings?"  

[ShriekingCeltic]

Zaria continued to walk "we just get told what were doing for the day, chores, practising, and other stuff. i think were having another show tonight too" she said walking into the main tent. everyone was standing there stairing at them "oh, so were a couple minutes late and you guys get mad!" she said to them as she walked over.  

[Dameon Black]

Dameon was chewing on his lip. He didn't like the thought of being there when there was a show going on. He sat down beside Zaria and sighed. Wearing a shock collar and being branded made him feel like an animal and he didn't like it. He just sat there and waited for them to continue the meeting.
