The Dazzlings and the Human

Circus

When someone knocked on my door the last person I expected to find was my own sister and since I never told her I took in some girls when she met Sonata and Adagio she was both confused and surprised and so after they got acquainted I decided to cook for them and made some soup and after I was finished I gave each of them some bowls

"Dig in." I said and they did

While they ate I made two more bowls, one for me and the other was for Aria if she ever decides to come out of her room then I went and sat at the table with them and ate then Emilia looked up from her food to the girls

"So, how long have you been staying here?" Emilia asked getting both of their attention

"About a few months, we haven't stayed here long." Adagio said

Emilia nodded "Where did you two come from?" she asked but both of them stayed silent "Come on, you had to have live somewhere before coming here." she said but they didn't answer so I decided to speak up

"Come on Emilia, if they don't want to say then we should leave them, we shouldn't pry." I said and I could see her eye them suspiciously but nodded her head nonetheless and continued eating

After all of them finished Adagio and sonata washed out their bowls and went back to their room but before Adagio left I gave her a bowl to take to Aria then I went over and sat on the couch to watch t.v. but then Emilia walked over with her arms crossed which is never a good sign

"What's up?" I asked

"Oh nothing, just the fact you know nothing about these girls you took into your own home." she said and I shook my head

"I do know some about them, I just think that if they want to keep their secrets then I should let them." I said but Emilia rubbed her head

"That's not how it should work though, if their secret was something simple then don't you think they would have at least told me when I asked?" Emilia said and I thought about it for a moment "I'm sorry to say this but whatever they are hiding is so big that they don't want you nor me to know what it is and that means we have to know."

I rubbed the back of my head "What if they are hiding this secret because it's something bad? it might be painful for them to remember something like that, I don't want to do that to them." I said and Emilia rolled her eyes

"I doubt that, if it really was some kind of painful memory, don't you think they would have told you that it was?" she said and I couldn't help but understand that point and nod

"What do you even suggest we do? if we ask them outright then they'll brush it off." I said and Emilia thought for a moment

Emilia looked like she just got an idea "How about we take them to the circus? they can have a good time and when it's over they'll probably open themselves up to us."

"Hm, the circus will open tomorrow and I guess this is also a good chance for them to get out more, alright I'll agree to this but if it goes wrong then I was never a part of this, alright?" I said and she nodded "I'll go tell them about the circus and see if they'll go, no promises though."

I got up and went to their room but once I got there I heard them talking and usually, I would just knock so they would stop talking and know I was coming in but this time they were talking about something else from their usual conversation so I decided to put my ear to the door to listen

"Eric's sister is super suspicious of us, I could see it on her face, she might pry about our past and the truth." Adagio said since I could recognize her voice

"Why don't we just tell them?" Sonata asked

"Are you crazy? you two already told him about what happened at the school back then, now you want to tell him who we are?" Aria said then she sighed "Eric is a good guy for a human but we shouldn't tell him, in case you forgot we all agreed to not tell him the truth and it's gonna stay that way."

"I just feel bad holding secrets from Eric, he took us in out of his own kindness the least we can do is tell him we're-."

Emilia walked over to me "Eric, what are you doing?" she asked and I quickly put a hand on her mouth and shushed her but then the door was open so I quickly removed my hand to see all three of the girls looking at us so I chuckled nervously

Adagio spoke first "Eric, what are you doing in front of our door?" she asked

"I was just about to check and see if Aria ate her food, I did make it for everyone." I said

"So you didn't hear anything?" Aria asked and I looked at her putting on my best clueless face

"I did hear some kind of talking but I couldn't understand it, was it important or something?" I said and they all looked at each other then back to me

"No, it's fine, what did you want to tell us?" Adagio asked

"Well Emilia and I were talking and wanted to know if you wanted to go to the circus." I said but they had a confused look

Sonata raised her hand "What's a circus?"

"Wait, have any of you ever been to a circus?" I asked and all of them shook their heads "How have none of you been to a circus? let alone heard of one?" I asked but they just shrugged "Well, how about you come with us to the circus? we can show you around and you can decide if you like it."

"I want to go and see the circus, it sounds fun." Sonata said while Aria and Adagio thought about it a bit more

Aria sighed "I guess I'll go, I just hope it won't be one big boring show." she said and Adagio nodded

"I guess if they're going I might as well tag along to keep them out of trouble." Adagio said and I nodded

"Alright, the circus opens tomorrow, trust me you're gonna love it." I said then I left and walked back to the living room while Emilia followed

"It's going better than I thought, all three of them are going which might increase our chances of learning their secret." Emilia said then she walked over to me "By the way, I saw you with your ear to their door, What did you hear?"

I glanced away then back at her "Nothing, as I said I couldn't make out what they were talking about even with my ear to the door." I said and she sighed

"Well, looks like we'll have to do this my way then if you didn't get your answer." she said then she walked to the door "I'll be staying at a hotel for tonight, I don't want to miss the circus nor the juicy details, see you later." Emilia said then she was gone and I rubbed the back of my head

I could not believe I was gonna risk the girl's trust in me just to learn their secret but Emilia did make some good points, if the secret they were hiding really was that bad then they would have told me or at least warned me about how bad it was so I should at least know why they are hiding it, the only thing I know about them is what happened back at their school other than that they are still a complete mystery, the circus is tomorrow so I should go and get some rest myself

once I walked past their door I knocked and looked inside to see them either reading magazines or on their phones "Is everyone alright?" I asked and they all nodded so I closed their door and went to my own room and went to sleep early

-------------------

I was shaken awake by someone and when I looked I saw Sonata shaking me so I sat up and stretched

"Sonata, what is it?" I asked

"When is the circus starting? I'm so excited that I can't sleep." she said and I chuckled

"It won't be until." I had to check the time on my phone "A few more hours, wait it's five o'clock at night, how long have you been awake?" I asked

"I said I couldn't sleep, I didn't know It was so late." Sonata said

I shook my head "You should go to sleep if you want enough energy to enjoy the circus, I'm still surprised that you nor the others have been to one." I said

"Well, we never heard of a circus before so we never went, now that I have I can't believe we wasted our time gaining power instead of having fun." Sonata said and I raised an eyebrow at her

"Gaining power? what are you talking about?" I asked

Sonata quickly covered her mouth "Oh shoot, you weren't supposed to hear that." she said then she quickly walked to the door "I guess I'll see you tomorrow."

"Wait." I said stopping her from leaving as she turned back to me "You know you can trust me right, we've known each other for months but I still don't know much about you or the others so if you're still holding something then I would like to know to get to know you guys better." I said

Sonata sighed "I'm sorry Eric, I want to tell you since you've been so nice to us but Aria and Adagio but mostly Aria feel like you shouldn't know about that part of our history and it wouldn't be right if I told you without them knowing." she said

I nodded "You're right, it wouldn't be right sharing a secret you all agreed to keep a secret, but I just want you to know that I'll be right here when you feel like sharing, Alright?" I said and Sonata nodded

"Alright, good night Eric." Sonata said as she waved goodbye and I waved back then she left and I went back to sleep myself
