Louis looked like James almost offended, as if he just wanted him to pretend Louis was as stoic as ever. "I told you I am fine. No pressure whatsoever.", he relayed with a sigh. James was too nice, even worse than Jo and Louis couldn't deal with this right now. He saw Mara eaten by her cats and James crushed by his weights. It was too much to look at any of them at the moment. "I'll grab an apple if I feel like it." James did too much, but he did that for everybody, Louis wasn't special in that …

Was he on a short leash? That man or whatever he was never really talked to Louis. Maybe he assumed too much but only when he questioned that status quo did something terrible happen. Well other than the terrible things that happened here all the time, but nobody knew about it. "No, I'm fine.", he assured James and Mara. It was almost weird for them to worry like that. Did he look that terrible? There was no way he could rest anyway though, even though today he felt like he was about to collapse…

People started talkin again after Louis seemingly walked in at the absolute wrong time. He wasn't good for entrances outside the big tent, after all he was mostly the first one around. James didn't take a no as that and he fell only short of taking Louis by the shoulder and simply sitting him down. Maybe Louis wasn't as alone as he thought. James was stronger than anyone else around here, he was a monster of a man, but mostly in stature. He was a kind soul in the end and at the moment Louis appr…

As Louis entered the small wall-less tent they usually ate their food in he felt it was awfully silent. He scanned the surroundings and saw neither Cornelia nor Josiah. He could only hope they both were okay, but he probably wasn't the on they wanted to see right now. Everyone was probably shocked by what happened. Plenty of children 'left' every now and then and new came but a death like that? Since Louis almost died nothing much had happened. Of course there were accidents, broken bones, cuts,…

Louis just wanted to sink into the ground and never return. He never truly gave suicide a thought, it never even occurred to him, but now that he asked the question of if he was even able to die, it stuck in his head. It would be selfish and cowardly and nobody would care. No, he had to pull himself out of this. He went to Josiahs trailer half hoping he was awake, half not. He unlocked the door and took a peek inside. He heard him snore a little, so he was definitely alive, good. Louis went to h…

They all had plenty of bad moments and aside from that they all looked like monsters in the right light, just like Louis did, but only half so. He didn't comment it, Alice seemed almost sincere, as if she was the one not part of the group. First she pranced around him like a cat, pushing him into corners and now she acted awfully high and mighty and as if she was better than the rest. Truth be told, Louis had enough of her and he believed that she could probably say more, but refused to do so. W…

Louis fit nowhere and Alice mocked him for it. What was he to do if everybody slammed their door into his face? He might end up hanging out with Roy, the only person who seemingly wasn't offended by Louis existence. He wasn't as bitter and cynical as they wanted him to be, nor did he have fun when children were sacrificed to the ringmaster. The warm feelin that he felt wasn't enough to coax him to their side, in fact it did the opposite. He didn't want to be complicit like that. Nowadays he aske…

"N-No... I..." Louis had no answer for her. Maybe he was sentimental. Even though he tried to burn those bridges that connected him and Josiah for years, today might very well have been the day he actually suceeded. He never wanted to hurt him for real, he never truly wanted to lose him, despite telling him to go and be save. Josiah wouldn't forgive him for today, neither would Cornelia or anyone else that cared for Leila. Not that they'd think he killed her, but he whisked her away and he'd hav…

Louis could never tell when those guys were joking. They never took any situation seriously, so there was no reason for them not to. Alice at least said something about what was going on and maybe he would have listened more if she didn't get all touchy with him while doing so. Would she truly give him any answers? He wasn't so sure about that, he still didn't know where she stood and what her goals were. In the end she might have just found it funny that Louis had no idea of what was going on o…

Alice didn't seem pleased with his visit, not at all actually, but she made way anyway, welcoming him in. Louis had to admit that Alice wasn't one for company in the evening, maybe the others were too loud or vulgar for her taste, or maybe she wasn't fitting in quite as well either. Yet she loved to tease Louis just as much as them, like two nights ago, or whenever she caught him when he changed. Sometimes he felt like a mouse or a ball of yarn a cat just had it's way with for a while and then s…

They were all terrible, but Louis wasn't much better than them. At least he didn't find it funny, though he did feel somewhat relieved and lighter than the past few days. At the same time though he felt defeated. He felt like it was hard to breath and his scars hurt. They didn't often, but today they did and he knew he wouldn't be able to sleep. Well there was no way he could sleep today anyway. Louis wondered if there was any place for him even, being around Roy didn't make things easier. He wa…

Der Engel wollte hier gar nicht mehr verschwinden. Naja, solange er ihm nicht nach der Arbeit auflauerte war das für Levi okay. Er fand sich in diesem Job schnell zurecht, auch wenn er wünschte die Gäste würden auch einmal etwas ausgefallenes bestellen. Ab und zu quatschte er mit Kyle, oder er spazierte an dem Engel vorbei um einen Blick auf seine Kritzelei zu erhaschen. Dieser Typ nahm das hier viel zu ernst, oder vielleicht nahm Levi es nicht ernst genug. Kyle schien aus irgendeinem Grund wich…

Roy acted like he was kind to Louis, but he was far from it. Still, he could barely blame him, after all he asked him to help with Josiah and he did in the only way that was expected of him. Louis could only blame himself, even more so because he was glad he didn't have to deal with Josiah today. "Someone died today. That's funny to you, isn't it?", he asked, tired if anything. He didn't want to fight, not with them too. Actually two people died, Lucas was gone too and he wouldn't come back, eve…

Ruth was the only one there for now and she seemed pretty surprised to see Louis walk up to their little camp. He offered him a seat anyway and so he got down across from her on a box that functioned as a stool. There wasn't much talking until Roy arrived, but Louis was very busy with his thoughts anyway. He sat there with his arms on his knees, staring at the ground and wiggling his leg. There was too much that went on today. Leila, Lucas, Josiah, Cornelia... even the fact that he sat here now.…

This worked out better than Louis had imagined. Roy was almost happy to help and still Louis felt like he just stabbed Josiah in the back. In a way, he did. Louis stayed quiet, he let Roy do his thing, talk do whatever it took to get Josiah out of here. He felt incredibly bad, but he didn't try to show it and eventually Roy got Josiah to relent. Civilly as well, which was a good thing. "Yeah...", he just mumbled, walking closer to Lucas, just in case he wanted to run. He put a hand on his should…

Josiah seemed taken aback by Louis relenting, but he came outside anyway. Louis closed the door behind them and was faced by his so called friend. Yes Louis didn't have ti together today, how could he? But he couldn't tell Josiah anything either and he wouldn't try to. No excuses, he was the bad guy, fine. "As I said, I didn't ask what he wants.", he simply responded. There was not way he would let Josiah try and talk to the ringmaster. He'd make it worse for himself and others. Hell, Louis didn…

Josiah wouldn't let up, Louis knew it, but he had no time for this and it was unnecessary to fight in front of everyone like this. "And why is this my fault when I'm being told to do that, huh? Why do you always blame me for doing what I am asked to do, for having to train hard, for moving to another city, for having to perform?!" This wasn't even meant specifically for Josiah. Louis had enough of this, enough of being blamed for every inconvenience, for every ill liked decision he didn't even m…

Louis wasn't in the mood to fight, or even talk. He was exhausted, he felt guilty and he was worried about what he'd cause next by trying to be nice and trying to accommodate to everyones needs. Maybe Roy had been right, maybe he should just drop the act, as he called it, and demand things more often. What the ringmaster wished, he got. Louis wasn't sure why he had to be the one to do this, but there was no arguing with this man, never. He asked for Lucas life and this was what became of it. Ins…

Some of the children cried probably because of what they saw, some because the others cried. Some were just confused and sat there anxious and afraid because they didn't know what was going on. Once in the trailer a bunch of them ambushed Josiah, but Lucy couldn't get herself to tell them to be careful right now. Some others cuddled up with Lucy who sat on the floor by now. They huddled around her and he put her arms around as many as she could. "I-Is Leila going to be alright...?", one of them …

Louis felt a weight on his shoulder, then in his hand. As he looked down he saw one of Roys knives. What? No, he couldn't do that and while he asked himself why it was his responsibility in the first place, he reminded himself in the same thought that he'd been the one insisting on Lucas staying. He should have known it wouldn't be that easy and he should have known not to question the ringmaster. He could have just told Louis no, but instead he was taught a lesson. Not only was the the reason J…
