I can deal with my mother nagging me about being a 'proper lady'. I can live through the many daily lessons that I am required to attend. I can force my self to go to social events and be involved with others of noble blood. I thought I could deal with anything. People may think that being the daughter of a noble but there are always two sides of a story. I for one want my freedom, or even the right to adjust but that didn't happen. My dad came home as the clock hit 5 with 'wonderful' news. In a few days I am to be wed. I understood from a young age that I would not get to choose my husband, but I also thought I would have time to adjust to a man before I married him, but I have never even spoken to this man. I have seen him at parties but I chose to avoid him, his sparkly aura was too annoying. The Viscount of Druitt was the last man I wanted to tolerate. I wait about an hour after I hear my parents and servants retire to their resting quarters, just to make sure my escape will not be interrupted. I look in the mirror, my carmel hair catches the light from the candle. If there was one thing my mother was proud of it was my slightly wavy, silky hair that fell to my knees. I take all of my hair into my left hand and a knife in my right. It hurt a bit as I cut the hair away roughly but long hair would have been too much trouble to maintain, it was already hard as it was. It now falls into a slightly wavy bob that falls just beneath my chin. My bangs lay just out of my vision and cover my brows, they were in need of being trimmed before they were completely in my line of sight, but I do not host such skills. I switch my white night gown for a pair of brown trousers with suspenders. This is accompanied with a pair of black leather boots and a plain white shirt. I am now ready with some coins in my pocket and a tree by my window. Being a tomboy was actually going to do me some good, though it had always caused dismay to my family. I easily land on the sturdy branch and instantly reciever the fresh scent of maple. I slowly inch down the tree as I attempt to make almost no noise at all, with great results. I am kind of disappointed at the lack security. Well I escaped quite easily, now for the hard part. Where to go now? Then it hits me. No, I mean it literally hits me. A poster slaps me in the face due to a gust of wind. 'Noah's Ark Circus'. I am sure I have some skill to qualify for this! I roam the streets until I find the traveling circus. I assume everyone is asleep at this time and plan to annoy the leader in the morning but then I see a young male. "Excuse me!" I shout out as I run towards him. Good thing I basically never run out of stamina.

*Hisssssss* I stop in my tracks as I now have a snake hissing at my face. "Who are you?... says Wilde."

"I'm Emillia!" I pet the snake, I have always thought that reptiles were cute. The man seems to flinch at my action. I look up a little confused and notice the scales that are interspread in his skin.

"What do you want?... says Emily." His voice seems to change for each snake.

"I want to join the circus." I became serious. "And I need to right away." The slender man looks at me, his gold eyes concerned.

"That way. Says Emily." the snakes tail pointed to a lit tent a little into the distance. Of course he does not let me go alone, he escorts me to a man named Joker.

"What be ye problem?" He smiles at me.

"I need to join the circus." I smile back while a few people look at me.

"Why?"

"I'm a run away! A circus should help everyone. I am old enough." I state proudly, which seems to shock anyone. Joker found it amusing though and said I had to take an enterance exam. I wonder how hard this exam will be and what I will have to do. I have a few tricks up my sleeve that might get me in.

A/N: So I hope to have fun with this but do not have it completely thought out, am making it as I go. I am having trouble deciding if it should be an AU or if I should follow the actual plot. It just might be too hard to kill everyone! Tell me what you think :D
