       A splash of color in the dark.
       By: Matteus Date: November 4, 2015, 10:45 pm
       ---------------------------------------------------------
       Matteus turned to see Chroma there. She came with him? He nodded
       to her questions. "This is where I came from. I'm not sure why
       we are here though." Without thinking Matteus turned to Chroma
       and wrapped his arms around her protectively. "This is not a
       safe place to be. We shouldn't stay." He squeezed her before
       walking into his trailer and pulling out a trunk. Then he filled
       it with various clothes and his personal belongings.

       Chroma blushed a bit as he suddenly pulled her into a hug. Wait,
       this was a little protective and he was saying that it was
       dangerous here. She blushed a bit, "D.. Dangerous? But, I
       thought you'd... taken care of the threat?" She looked at him a
       little confused, tilting her head. He was packing things up. She
       stood there nervously. "W.. Where would we go?"

       "There are those who don't agree with my choice." He sighed and
       looked to her. "I meant for me love not you. It is dangerous for
       me as well because I have many dark memories here and I don't
       want to slip into darkness." He finished filling his bag and
       walked over to her. "We can go anywhere we want. All we have to
       do is start walking."
       He lead her out the door and into a group of disgruntled staff
       from the freak show. "What are we supposed to do now? You killed
       our meal ticket. You may not have much problems making friends.
       But some of us..." He looked over Chroma, "Don't have that
       ability." Matteus held up his hands. "Frett not, we live in a
       world where we can be accepted as you see. She isn't exactly our
       normal customer is she? She's far to beautiful to be one of
       them."
       He took Chroma's hand and tugged it, pulling her through the
       crowd and past the crowd. "Yeah, you should leave. You just cost
       us our lively hood, there is nothing left for you here." The
       stick man said. The stick man was a man about seven foot tall
       with almost zero body fat. He towered slightly over Matteus who
       stood just under six and a half feet tall.

       She blushed and nodded. Anywhere they wanted to go. She didn't
       really mind as long as she was with him. She was glad she had
       her bag. It was all she needed to make a living if she really
       wanted to.
       She loved living in the forest, sleeping in the trees, though
       normally she had been on the run. Here she didn't have to be.
       When he took her outside she saw all the "freaks", and eyes them
       all with true interest. With a similar look she'd given Matteus.
       But when he took her hand she stopped in the middle of the crowd
       because she looked at the man that had said she wasn't a normal
       customer. "Live in a world where you can be accepted hmm? You
       realize that where I come from I was locked up in a dark room
       all by myself because of how I look?" She was standing in front
       of the man that had been talking. "You can act like you've had
       the worst life, but were you treated as if you were death
       itself? Probably. Did you ever get tortured to the point that
       you turned into another person? I know that my captors did that
       to me."
       She paced around and looked at all the others that were there.
       "So what if your life has sucked up until now? Matteus has given
       you a damn chance to change all that around!"
       "Now... you can't tell me that you haven't had a dream of
       something bigger than being showed off as nothing more than a
       pet." she walked over to the stick man and took his hands in
       hers. Her demeanor soft and quiet, but she spoke loud enough for
       all to hear, "What are you good at? Or what do you want to do?
       Do you want to help others like you?" She pulled away from him
       and looked at everyone else. "Maybe you want to be a great cook,
       or want to have a family?" She looked at them all, "To be
       honest... I already see a family." She smiled a bit more,
       "You've all been through so much together, yet now you turn on
       the one person that has given you the freedom to choose who you
       want to be instead of being a slave to someone else's wish's. If
       I were you... I'd be thanking him." She looked over her shoulder
       and walked out of the crowd before her whole schpeal actually
       hit them. She just hoped that she hadn't fucked up and gotten
       them into more trouble.

       Was she really defending him? He stopped and looked at her as
       she spoke to the crowd. With such purpose and meaning. He had
       never had someone stand up for him except for her. He felt a
       warmth in his chest that he hadn't felt in a long time. She had
       stood up to her father for him, and now here was Chroma, facing
       a whole crowd on his behalf. He squeezed her hand gently and
       smiled happily. Everyone else seemed to be just as shocked by
       this. A couple mumbled things but stepped back. Not going to
       continue arguing with her. It could have been the subtle changes
       in her hair color that shocked them. The look on her face. The
       fact that she spoke to them as if they were real people instead
       of freaks. But slowly one by one they turned away and began to
       walk off, murmuring to themselves.
       Matteus pulled on Chroma's hand and started walking. "Come on,
       thank you." He whispered and tugged her in the direction of the
       woods. "You didn't have to do that for me, but I appreciate that
       you did. You sure shocked them." He tossed his head back and
       laughed. The laugh echoing and sounding even more sinister than
       his voice, as the laughs sounded like a combination of several
       hisses and maniacal laughs all rolled into one.
       He looked over Chroma again, she was beautiful. The way her
       wildly colorful paint hair framed her face. The way no matter
       what color lay against her flesh it went perfectly with her skin
       tone. She seemed to be quite comfortable around him. It warmed
       his heart. Not even most of the freaks were comfortable with
       him. "So tell me Chroma, is there a place you have always wanted
       to see? I could take you there. We could go look for just about
       any place. I wouldn't mind going back to the hotel at some
       point. The world is ours for the taking."

       Chroma wasn't sure how to take their reaction. But she was
       relieved. Her legs had been shaking until they had turned
       around. They weren't going to pick a fight with her. Good. And
       then Matteus spoke. And those wonderful shivers ran up her spine
       when he laughed, she laughed with him. Not nervously, a full
       blown laugh. What could she say, she loved his voice.
       The darkness seeping out of her hair, become the bright rainbow
       it should be. Though there where hints of more pink and red than
       the other colors.
       "Matteus... This isn't my world. I don't know anything of this
       world. I can tell, because the energy is different." She smiled
       a bit. Did she look a little pale compared to before? Maybe it
       was a trick of the light. "To be honest... I would think
       anywhere would be wonderful if you were with me." she blushed
       lightly and looked up at him. "S.. So I don't really have
       anywhere in particular to tell you."

       Her words gave him a feeling deep in his body. One that he had
       not felt since his relationship with his wife had barely begun.
       Her laughter had warmed him. He squeezed her hand. Wanting to
       kiss her right then and there. But it was too soon. He had only
       just met her that day. Yet for some reason he felt like he had
       known her far longer.
       "What could I show you?" He tapped his chin. "Ah. I've got it. I
       want to surprise you. But you gotta trust me. It is a bit of a
       trip." He stepped behind her and wrapped her arms around her
       from the back. Massive black wings spread from his back ripping
       through his shirt. Veins of dulled colors spreading through
       them. Claws pushed through the leathery tops and spreading,
       making spines grow under the flesh. Through the pain her gritted
       hia teeth and made sounds similar to a cats shrill cry, a bats
       sonar and the snarl of a tiger.
       As soon as the wings were fully extended they flapped  sending a
       mighty gust beneath them. They lifted into the air. Her cradled
       her body gently against his. Her hair brushed against his face,
       but he didn't mind. Paint didn't seem to get on him and it was
       almost a comfort.

       "Trust you? Matteus, what would make you question if I did or
       not." she blushes, "I.. I mean when I first met you... you had
       blood on your hands." She smiled softly, "Most people would be
       scared off just by that." Her river of a voice sounded like the
       crashing of gentle ocean waves.
       When he pulled her close and his pain was evident she wanted to
       turn around, to sooth his pain. But soon, they were in the air.
       Her stomach in her throat for but a moment as she watched the
       world fall away. She smiled and giggled. Wishing she could have
       done more to help him.
       Maybe when they landed she could rub some of the pain out. "So!"
       she called out, "Where are we going?!"
