The sun had fully disappeared now, plunging her into complete blackness. Meiko began to regret her decision once realising she could barely see the trail in front of her in the darkness. With her mind made up, Meiko began following the creature's path leading into woods. The girl seemed friendly enough anyway even if her shared body was rather strange. Meiko considered simply dismissing the entire encounter, but she wasn't looking forward to seeing her Mothers enraged face any time soon and she greatly enjoyed a good circus. Each step they took stained the cement pavement red. With those words, the conjoined pair took off into the woods. The page was decorated with many colours, a depiction of a striped tent was scrawled messily in the centre of the page. "That's great! Say, how would you like to check out our circus tonight? It's a quick show not far into the woods from here and a heap of fun!" The blonde suddenly shoved a flyer into Meiko's hands. He opened and closed his mouth as if trying to soundlessly speak words to her but Meiko could not make any sense of it. Her answer seemed to please the girl, as her smile grew even larger, the boy however looked desperate, and somewhat panicked. "I do, my parents took me to one before, it was amazing!" Meiko's mood immediately brightened and she gave a vigorous nod. "Ah! What a pretty name! Well little Meiko, do you like the circus? "M-Meiko" she said nervously, trying not to stare at the beings scared neck. The girl continued to stare expectantly at the adolescent, waiting for a response to the simple question she'd inquired. Now in close view of the deformity, Meiko could clearly see ugly stitches marring the creatures neck and joining the siblings. The two weren't standing close to each other, but shared a body. It was then when Meiko reached a startling realisation. "What's your name cutie?" The girl chirped, as she bent to meet her level. His vacant blue eyes seemed to plead at Meiko as their gazes met. The girl was grinning widely, while the boy maintained a much more saddened expression. The two individuals had bright yellow hair and pale faces caked with festive makeup. Meiko looked around in confusion before realising the girl had been speaking to her specifically. Meiko turned at the sound of a female's voice, seeing two people of identical likeness standing close to each other, in a rather ridiculous clown get up. A short stout man was describing in great enthusiasm a circus being held that night, while the crowd listened intently. There was a single carriage decorated in an abundance of colourful ribbons and balloons. The tune was repetitive and eerie, though somehow it had drawn her attention and her legs were almost hypnotically now moving towards the direction of an apparent travelling circus. Sudden carnival music reached her hearing, at first quiet but quickly growing louder in volume. She was ready to begin her short trip back when she noticed a rather large crowd gathering around the town square. The sky was growing dark signalling the end of day, and although Meiko was still bitter about the previous argument she'd had with her caretaker, she was well aware that she would need to return home soon. These strict rules were not met well with acceptance by the young girl as she decided that late evening to rebel against her Mothers wishes. Despite the fact that she had recently turned ten and was fully capable of taking care of herself, the woman would not let her take a single step outside without super vision. Meiko walked silently throughout town's grey cobbled streets, knowing she had a fair amount of time before her Mother discovered she was missing and began searching for her.
