Almari was sitting in the audience but far away from everyone. She watched the girl and vampire, the wolfman and anything else on stage. Her eyes darted from the faces of each, rather curious as to the relationship between vamp and mortal but she wasn't here for that. Almari was in search of Chrono Gabriel... who she knew wasn't here but close by. She hoped to find someone with information of him after the show but she had her doubts.

Thea gasped and stood up shakily, her eyes glimering. Her father had jumped from his isle and was now running towards his daughter. Thea held up a hand to stop him--she wasn't sure wheter he did or not--her eyes were clouded with fury.
As the wolfman took a step towards Dimitri's still form, Thea gave a low growl that sounded more like an angry cat than a human girl.
She looked backstage, seacrhing for a weapon.
Ah. There. A shining silver sword, probably for use in one of the acts, swung on a hook a few feet from Thea. The girl's hand shot out and grabbed it's black handle. She weighed it carefully in her hands, never taking her eyes off of the Wolfman.
With a cry, she wrenched her arm back and hurled the weapon at the beast. The blade imbeded itself in the fur on the creatures abdomen.

Dimitri screamed. ''NO!''He said ripping the sword free of its back. He put his cape over the creature rubbing his spit into its wounds, but hey where to much for the healing abilities of his spit. He sighed deeply. There goes his act. He stood up and walked guiltly over to Thea. ''Im sorry Dea'''He said eyes full of sorrow and sadness. He took her hand and led her back to her seat. Mr.Tall came out and had little people take the Wolfman off stage. ''That is why you dont say anything when told not to. Next act -''He went on explaining Gertha teeth.

Thea was silent as the acts wore on, her face drawn and sad. Her night was not as joyful as it should have been--and her father was more than likely going to keep her locked up inside the house until she was as old as Dimitri seemed. Where was her father, anyway? With a dull sense of shock Thea realized she didn't care too much. The mortal girl didn't even look at Dimitri as he explained.

Dimitri sighed. ''I love you.''He whispered kissing her forhead and went back off stage.
''Mr.Tall, Where is the girls father?''''I dont know Dimitrious''He said using his full name. Dimitri cringed. ''Dont call me that, you have to know! You saw him! If you ddnt notice, I was fighting for my life!!''He said in outrage.

Thea sat up in her seat. Slowly she got up, the ripped hem of her dress trailing after her. Wheter or not anyone noticed her, Thea didn't know or much care--she had to find her father. He wasn't in the tent--so he must be outside. Outside with the wolves and the theives and the madmen and all of the bad things that lurked in the city. Zombie-like, Thea slunk out of the tent. The cool night wind met her as soon as both her black high-heeled feet were out of the temporary building. It swirled around her, lifting her dark red hair, brushing its invisible fingers across her pale face.
"Father?"Thea called."Where are you?"

Dimitri looked around up and down aisle for Thea's father. Where has he gone... Not anywhere near the Wolfman, but...Wait, where was the Wolfman?? OTUSIDE! And hadnt he just saw Thea go outside?
With that, Dimitri shoved a few people down to get to the outside of the barn. The Wolfman was gone, go figure. Once he spotted Thea some of his fears calmed, but her father? This was her last night with him, he decided no to upset her more by talking to her. He was the cause of it all anyway.

The wind changed, as hard against Thea as it had been the afternoon her mother died, almost trying to push her back into the tent. It whispered incoherent words into her ears.
Thea paid no heed to the element--she had to find her father. Her hazel eyes swept the land, looking for clues as to were her father might be. Nothing. Until...
"Oh, no."Thea whispered as her gaze fell upon a pool of liquid. Blood--what else could it be, even silver as it looked in the full moon? She set into action at once, ripping off what was left of the end of her dress so that it came only to her knees. She took the big section off black silk with her--her father, assuming it was his blood, would need a bandage.
Thea barreled through the trees (right me if I'm wrong, if this place doesn't have trees), their cruel branches ripping at her as she went.
"Father-oof-where are you?" She screamed as a piece of foliage caught her in the stomach.
Her answer was only a groan--but it was an answer.
Thea ripped the remaining branches away from her with inhuman strength. She was aware of several small cuts on her arms and even on her legs, of leaves and twigs in her hair, but it didn't matter as she laid eyes on her father.
He sat with his back against an ancient red-wood—and it was obvious he had dragged himself there, judging from the trail of disturbed leaves that led to him. And was he a sight to see! His polo shirt had been ripped open, revealing long, bloody gashes. His face had been subjected to the same treatment, though not as bad, as well as his arms. Lucas' hair had come free of its gel, leaving strands to fall in front of his face while others remained glued to his head.
Had Thea been another girl, she would have fainted there and then. Heaven knows she felt like she was about to, but her strong will took hold of her, forcing her to take a step towards her father's bloodied form, then another and another, until she was able to kneel at his side and take his hand.
She checked for a pulse on his wrist, searching until—there! A pulse throbbed benath her fingers…very faint, but there.
"Father…father, it's me, Thea." She whispered, barely able to keep her voice from breaking. "Who did this to you?"
Lucas Mirrow's eyes opened a little so that she could see a slit of his brown eyes. "Thea…go…it…it was…him…"
That didn't narrow down the list of suspects very much so Thea said. "Who? Who was it, Lucas?"
But at the end of her sentence, she needn't have an answer. She could already hear the perpetrator's soft growl behind her.

Dimitri took after Thea. He wasnt going to let anything happen to her. Whatever had caused her to run...He looked up from running. The wolfman hovered above Thea and..her father?! Dimitri pushed himself to flitting speed and was ontop of the Wolfman. He shoved him far away from Thea and her father. The Wolfman stood up growling blood on his body. He launched himself into Dimitri sending them both to the ground in a pile of fur and flesh. ''Get your father away from here!!''Screamed Dimitri. He had managed to shut the jaws of the Wolfman.

For a moment, Thea had to think--should she follow Dimitri's orders and save heself and her father, or save Dimitri himself?
Then she nodded urgently, grasping her father's arm and hauling him to his feet, cringing as the stench of blood filled her nose. Thea put her father's arm around her shoulder and ran as fast as she could with her father hanging off her.
A few minutes later she was at the barn. Thea called out for Mr.Tall as she propped Lucas Mirrow against the wooden outer wall, where he would be safe until the giant or someone else found him.
Then Thea raced back, tracking her way back from the broken branches she had left. She found Dimitri and the Wolfman still wrestling when she reached the clearing.
Her thoughts raced. What to do, what to do? She couldn't let the Wolfman rip Dimitri's head off--not when there was something she could do.
Thea had recently dropped out of her highschool softball team. Surprise surprise, she had been the pitcher, one of the reasons her thrown sword hadn't missed it's mark and hit Dimitri back at the Cirque. Thea picked up a handful of sharp rocks that lay at the base of a tree.
She aimed carefully at the Wolfman's head, remembering exactly how to hold herself--if she hit the creature in just the right spot, the stone would puncture his murderous brain and kill him instantly.
Thea threw the rock.

Dimitri growled as the wolfman was launched off him. He had given him a sharp jab in the...*cough* with his nails. That sent the Wolfman howling off into the woods. Unlucky for Mr.Vistors, he got hit square in the back of the head with a sickening crack. He fell backwards to the ground moaning. ''L'OMS L'ENFER A JETÉ CETTE ROCHE ? !'' He s\yelled holding his head. He had large gashes all over his body from the wolfman and was bleeding, but he took no notice when he turned and saw Thea. He ran to her, after swearing a bit, ''Is your father ok? Are you ok? Oh God Im sorry for even bringing you here.''He said putting an arm around her givving her a hug with his one free arm.
Mr.Tall had just gotten a bunch of little people to patch up Mr.Mirrow. ''Feel better?''Said mr.Tall looming over him.

"I'm fine,love."Her face had gotten paler than usual after she had accidently hit Dimitri in the back of the head with her rock."Sorry about your head...can you walk?" She repositioned his arm around her shoulder and put her own arm around his waist." Thank you."

Dimitri nodded. ''I can walk, just a bit scratched up is all.''He said giving her a smile. He looked down at his leg, his pants where torn and blood was flowing from a gash down it, he could get the little people to fix that for him. ''Im sure that wont be the last we see of the damn Wolfman.''He said turning his head with a cringe of pain to see if he was anywhere behind them.

Thea nodded, her face darkening in anger. "If he does...I'm going to kill him. He attacked my father for revenge...if the beast has a mind big enough to hold that kind of thing, if it wasn't just a random attack." She said, her eyes glancing at the gashes on Dimitri's body."You're lucky you didn't die yourself tonight..." Thea's voice was quiet as she tought of how Dimitri had saved her twice--both times from the same monster.Her face held it's cold expression.
Lucas nodded."Thanks, I'm much better" He sat up straight slowly."...where's my daughter?"

Dimitri shrugged. '' It was luck that got h\us here in the first place. Dieing hadnt reaslly crossed my mind, I was worried you would remember me as the idiot who had you and your father almost killed, or killed.''He said with a smirk.
