"So, he tried killing you?" Joey asked. Larten, Maria, and Joey sat in Larten and Maria's tent trying to catch up and trying to forget about the reunion with the former murderer.

"Sure did." Maria smiled and rested her hand on Larten's leg. "But thanks to your dad and the others, I survived it."

"I can't believe I didn't know it..." Joey sighed. "He seemed so innocent and so..."

"It's alright now." Maria said resting her other hand over Joey's hand. "He's gone now. He won't be able to lie to you anymore."

"That is right." Larten smiled. "He would not dare come back" But even with that said they all looked at eachother worriedly. They all knew how Glalda acted and knew that he had something planned. Maria senced the tension in the air and how much Joey was hurt by Glalda's lying so she smiled and got up. She offered her hand too Joey.

"Come on. Lets go for a walk." Maria said. "It'll clear your head and I would like to learn more about you." Joey half smiled and took her hand.

"Alright." She said as Maria helped her up. Maria turned to Larten.

"You wanna come?" She asked. Larten only smiled at her and shook his head.

"No thank you my dear." He said. "I will stay. Mr. Tall would like me to preform tonights show if that is alright."

"That's fine hon." Maria said and gave him a quick pec on the lips. Joey gave him a quick hug and the women were off. Maria and Joey walked around the Cirque and but soon wondered to the forest.

"I was born in Vampire Mountain as you know." Joey continued talking with Maria about her life. "We soon wanted a normal human life and moved in an apartment. Glalda, Mish, and Kurda came along and after Glalda saved me we became mates."

"That's so sad." Maria said. "Must've been hard."

"It was." Joey said and turned to her. "But what about you?"

"You wanna know bout me?" Maria asked.

"Of course." Joey said.

"Well, it all started a year or two ago. I lived in New York as a cocktail waitress. My family and I were barely getting by and I decided to pitch in." Maria explained. "One night, when my shift was done, I decided to go home when Glalda pulled me in an alley. He cut my arm and drank my blood. He was about to kill me when Larten, Seba, and Gavner came and saved me. It wasn't long after that, that Larten and I fell for eachother."

Joey smiled.

"That's a sad life Maria." Joey said. "But at least you got a happy ending."

"Like my mom would always say." Maria said. "Happiness isn't the end but a beginning to a new life."

"She sounds noble." Joey commented.

"Thanks." Maria said. "She w-" Maria stopped when she heard a twig snap.

"Maria?" Joey asked stopping.

"When I say run. Run as fast as you can." Maria said and walked slowly.

"Wh-" Joey started but there was another snapping sound. This time Maria whipped around.

"Joey run!" She said, "Run and get Larten!"

"Why?" Joey asked startled.

"What's he gonna do?" A voice said from behind them. They turned to see that it was the one and only Glalda.

"Joey run!" Maria shouted as Glalda lunged to attack.

"But I can't le-"

"Joey! Hurry!" Maria said punching Glalda. Joey didn't hesitate and ran back to the Cirque.

"You just love to ruin things don't ya?" Glalda growled and threw her against a tree.

"If it's to protect the people close to me." Maria snarled.
