▐│∶x∶; —                            ❛ … y'ain’t wrong. ❜

For  a  while  now  she  had  been  having  what  she  could  only  describe  as  fever  dreams. Oh,  so  she  thought  at  first.   They  always  started  when  she  was  exhausted  or  ended  up  seriously  injured  in  which both  boxes  had  been  ticked  recently.  Whiles  her  injuries  healed  and  she  recoperated,  she  suffered  with  what  seemed  to  be  everlasting  fevers. 

                They  were  generally  unnerving,  scary  even  but  not  this  time. 

It  didn’t  matter  how  many  times  she  fell  asleep, she  always  ended  up  in  the  same  place. A  circus  ring.  The  seats  were  empty,  the  only  source  of  light  being  the  spotlight  in  the  center  and  two  long  strips  of  white  cloth  dangling  from  the  rafters. Even  without  her  memories  she  knew  she  had  an  intense  love  for  the  circus  &  acrobactics. 

The  same  scene  seemed  to  play  out. After  messing  around  in  the  tent  and  exploring,  she  would  be  approached  by  a  man.  Macie  didn’t  know  who  he  was, nor  see  his  face  as  it  was  always  blurred  out. The  only  thing  she  could  make out  was  a  toothy  grin  that  grew  from  ear  to  ear  each  time  he  visited.   He  spoke  but  his  words  never  registered. 

She  wasn’t  scared  at  all,  infact  she  was  always  left  with  a  bubbling  feeling  inside  of her chest. Excitement, joy  and  a  tinge  of  familiarity.  Even  though  this  was  a  dream,  she  couldn’t  help  but  feel  like  it   was  real. The  way  he  smiled,  held  his  hand  out  to  her,  caressed  her  cheek.  

Macie  couldn’t  help  but  smile,  a  hand  soon  reaching  out  to  stroke  the  faceless  man’s cheek  in  return.   Surprisingly  it  was  warm  to  the  touch. 

                                           ‘  That happy to see me? ‘ 

         Her  eyes  suddenly  flickered  open  at  the  sound of  someone  else’s  voice  ringing  in  her  head.  ‘ Caesar? ‘  She  questioned,  blinking  a  few  times  to  get  rid  of  the  haze  clouding  her  vision.  Ah,  it  was  him,  standing  before  her ----- before her.   There  is  a  sharp inhale,  as  she  realizes  she  is  standing  in  the  middle  of  the  room.  

    ‘ I  was  going  to  leave  you   alone ,  since  you  were  sleep walking  but  you  came  over  to  me.  Smiling, might  I  add.  ‘

A  frown  immediatly  burried  itself  upon  her  face,  as  she  snatched  her  hand  away  from  his  face. If  her  face  wasn’t  warm  before  it  sure  was  now  from  embarrassment.  A frustrated  sigh  soon  leaving  her  lips. Why did  she  keep  having  the  same  dream?  And  why  did  it  involve  sleepwalking? Troublesome.          

                  ‘  Here,  let’s  go  get  some  fresh  air. It’ll  help  cool  you  down.  Your  hands  were  pretty  warm. ‘ 

Lips  part  to  throw  a  witty  retort  at  him  like  usual  but  she is  taken  back  when  she  notices  his  hand  extent  out  to  her.  Wavering  eyes  shoot  upwards  towards  his  face, almost  like  reflex and  there  it  was. The  toothy  grin.  

 It  was  familiar.  The  way  he  was  acting,  his  smile  &  now  his  voice.  She  is  not  sure  and  not  even  sure  how  she  is  supposed  to  bring  up  the fact  he  reminds  someone  she has  been  dreaming  of.   HE  WOULD  NEVER  SHUT  UP  ABOUT  IT.  

      ‘ • ⚘   Ruben’s favorite color is baby PINK.  Macie’s favorite color is YELLOW.  They are particulary fond of these colors all because of their Mother Tammy.  She said ‘ Ruben was soft & soothing as the color baby pink and Macie was bright & cheerful as the color yellow. ‘  

     ‘ • ⚘   Macie is the root of Ruben’s inferiority complex. Since he has always been in her shadow, especially when his health went down hill, he has grown very bitter especially towards her. His mind is very clouded & believes what Macie says is a lie reguarding the fact that she was just trying to protect him. 

     ‘ • ⚘   Out of the two children, Tammy was very partial to Ruben. Just like how Christopher was to Macie, despite their love coming from two different areas, his more selfish. She felt more pain for Ruben and saw him as someone who was more vulnerable than Macie. She encouraged Macie to do what she felt was right and gave her a momento; the earring to show that she cared for her baby but her priority would always be Ruben. Macie knew that too, after Ruben’s dismissal, she refused to interfere with their personal time as much as Macie wanted to be with her Mother too.

This girl in particular piqued his interest. He can tell that she’s definitely not like a normal human being, but what she is exactly— Maybe he’ll find out.

But for now, he’s nothing more than a street performer, a traveling magician named Joshua, ❝ You there! Yes, you! Would you like to be my assistant for this next trick? ❞

         ‘ Really?! ‘ An  𝚎𝚡𝚌𝚒𝚝𝚎𝚍   shrill  escaped  the  feline  and  she  quickly  scuttled  over  to  the  performer. It  was  clear  that  she  was  eager  by  the  way  she  𝚋𝚘𝚞𝚗𝚌𝚎𝚍  on  her  heels,  eager to  help  out  in  anyway  needed.   ‘ What  do  you  need  me  to  do? ‘
