Snippet #2133556

Alevina watched Wesley walk out of Alaska's changing room and couldn't help but smirk. Oh how she loved teasing and asking how sexy time went after a good performance from Wesley. She wasn't exactly sure just what she did in there, but part of her didn't want it to be sex. She didn't quite know what it was, but Alaska being a erotic dancer and Wesley being a part of a freak show act... She didn't know. Maybe it was just Alaska flirting with someone new everyday that said to her that Wesley could get jealous, if that was what was going on. "Hey eight legs, stop gawking around like an idiot and get on stage. You're almost on." One of the stage hands yelled to her, at which she lazily drifted her head towards him, giving him a look that almost asked him 'do I look like I care?' However, that didn't go down to well. "Maybe you'll want to be the one to deal with Alexander then..." Alevina sighed gently and then ran a hand through her hair.

"Fine fine, don't tell on me." She groaned in an almost mocking voice. She stepped onto the walls of the backstage and walked up it, going right to the top of the tent and then listening to her introduction, before the atmosphere fell, the lights fell off and everything went still, as if something had gone wrong. She saw a girl next to her, and she started saying things like 'no, please, stop!' Alevina waited, watching the audience look around with worried looks, before the girl screamed and she dived down, back first. She heard the cries from the audience, but then shot a web up and caught herself. And then, her performance really started. She lowered down to the floor and got up close to the audience members, shooting out webs over them and then climbing above them, making sure to give them an elegant smile. Then, she shot a web to one of the walls and began doing acrobatics, climbing up the walls and then twirling around her webs. Her routine always went like this, and she'd shine her smile out to the audience whilst they applauded.

All for a while, everything seemed to be playing out like normal, she'd make the audience gaze in wonder or retreat in horror, and she was used to it. However, she found that one face in the audience seemed to be staring intently at her. And for some reason, her attention was drawn to her. She blinked a couple of times as she swung about, and then she realized who it was. It was her older sister. Realization struck her, and getting a little shocked, she fell off her web to the floor. A clumsy mistake which drew a few frowns. Alevina quickly got back up and finished her routine. She gave the audience a little bow before dashing offstage and bumping into some of the dancers and other acts. She dashed outside and fell onto the grass. Surely, how could she be sure that it was her mother? It really looked like her, but... But... She blinked a couple of times, biting her lip. What was she doing all the way out here, if it was her that is. She couldn't believe it, she looked so much older now... She looked down to the grass and tried to distract herself, instead wondering if Alexander had noticed her clumsiness.
