I smiled as I caught daisy's eye she was sat in the little moving carriage sewing up a shirt someone had put in here during the performance time in Billersbury, she let me tag along I tried my best to not be a bother to them the gentle rocking of the carriage was nice pleasant after the rumbling ruckus of the train ride, I shuffled my feet causing some hay to move about the floor, I stopped sewing for a moment she had given me a little pair of pants to work on that had a split in the leg I was sewing it up as we travelled by my wrist was starting to ache a little from the constant movement but I was almost finished so I went through finishing up the sewing and bit the cotton with my teeth "All done?" she asks
"Yeah" I smile lifting it to show her but I couldn't move it I pulled and noticed I had also sewed it to my own pants "Ohh dam it" I sigh
"It's alright" she smiles hoping across and sitting beside me getting a little pair of scissors snipping where I had sewed it to myself "There you go, all fixed" she smiles going back to her side and putting the done bit on her little done pile handing me another bit of fabric it looked like a ribbon starting to shred so I started working on it
"Daisy?" I ask
"What is it Benny?" she smiles as she works
"How did you end up here? Just curious" I shrug
"It's a long story" she blushed "longer then we have time for today" she smiles sitting up to press a little kiss to my head kiss I blushed hard my face heating up when she kissed me keeping my eyes on my work so she wouldn't see my blush
"Dais, Rotation," a man says as he put his head around the curtain on the door
"Okay" she smiles putting her work down "Come on" she smiles offering her hand so I happily took it as we got out the moving carriage hopping onto the stone road a couple different people went into the carriage we got our from and she tugged us down to the bottom of the whole parade of carriages taking the rains of one of the horses so I took another so I could walk with her,
"So Benny? Where did you learn to sew anyhow?" she asks as we walk
"Ohh my mum, she used to sew all the time" I answer "How about you?" I ask
"Well, not sure really just think I always knew how to, or I learnt when I was so young it just sort of became part of my brain" she giggles as we wandered past some farmlands and a few little cottages some workers stopping to watch as we went past
"Dasiy? Where exactly are we going?" I ask her
"The campgrounds, the perminate ones up on the common in west whild" she explained "You'll like it we will stay there for the winter months and get off travelling again in the summer" she explained
"Ohh, is it much further?" I ask him
"A couple villages more benny that's all" she smiles holding my hand tightly
"GET LOST!" A voice screams from one of the farm fields I was a little confused but daisy just began walking faster
"FREAKS!" a few voice scream a couple horses further to the front where getting spooked as people threw things at them "CLEAR OUT FREAK SHOW!" some yelled and things to a similar effect as we got closer to the main village it was a nice little village if not for the people everywhere screaming and shouting at us all the village had a few little shops and such all of which had signs in reading things like
'Go home freaks!', 'Freaks on parade' and 'Inhuman freaks!'
I was shocked such a nice little town would get so angry about just a bunch of people passing threw we passed a church where a man was shouting loudly I couldn't really pick up on what he was saying till we got close but as we did he spotted me and daisy and began a whole new rant
"By the Gods! Is it bad enough you soil our fair town with your Hellish appearance and stature" he yelled, "You violate the scantinity of the holy bond you break!" He yells "You freakish daemon will burn in hell, each and every one of you will burn for all eternity, and you dare raise the young doomed from birth In your houses of damnation" He yells "Interbreed to creaer worser deamons, in your sinful relations" He screamed b now we where past him quiet a bit and his loud shouting began to fade out
"what on earth was he talking about?" I ask a little confused
"It happens a lot, people who think we shouldn't exist" she sighs "They just don't like how our world is different from there's" she explains "well we get married by not in churches we don't raise children to fear a religious stature they like, done baptise children in there churches and freaks breed with freaks a lot of the time not a lot of people with a free marry outside of there societies as its hard to find love with non freak people" she explained
"Ohh I see, so people aren't Christian in freak camps?" I ask her
"some are, people, come from anywhere to join freak camps you get all sorts" she shrugs "why?" she ask "Are you-" she began
"Ohh no, never really been one for that sort of thing" I shrug
"People will think you odd talking like that" she smiles
"what do you think?" I ask her
"I think, everyone belives in something, weather it has a name or a orgainization or not, everyone thinks of something, belives something will happen to them when they die, fall back on something when scared or lost" she explains "personaly, I'm a witch so paganisum" she smiles
"Ohh... I didn't know that was a real thing you could be" I smile as we walked a little faster getting set for the next village a couple miles away
"Benny?" she asks
"Yes daisy?" I ask her
"aren't you worried about what people will think? You traveling around with a freak show?" she asks
"No, I have never really thought much about what people think of me, besides your all quiet nice" I answer "Besides, my dad used to call me a freak all the time, and my mum" I sigh
"Ohh? Why?" she asks
"It's a long story" I answer
"Awww, promise you'll tell me someday" she smiles kissing my cheek
"Humm I promise" I laugh
"Come on we should hurry" she giggles getting a bit faster tugging me along with her.
