Reading Response #2

In the first book of Cirque du Freak, Vampires assistant by Darren Shan. I've paid more attention to the relationship of Darren Shan and Steve Leopard. On how it converted to a nice friendly one to a harsh hateful one. Everyone knows them as the best friends, including their own family. They've been best-friends since elementary. Darren's Mom says that Darren was attracted to Steve's Wildness. But, was she sure they were bestfriends ? Was this a happy friendship ? Nope.
The day both Steve and Darren attended the secret freak show, Steve saw something strange. One of the Act's looked very familiar. So Steve being the strong confident person he is stuck around to find Mr.Crepsly. After he found him he told him that he knew his secret. His secret of him being a Vampire. Steve tried black mailing the vampire by saying if he doesn't turn him into a vampire he'll tell the cops. And so Mr.Crepsly had no choice but to turn  Steve into a vampire. But no, it didn't work out. Steve's blood was evil so the process could not continue. The moment Mr.Crepsly said his blood was evil, Steve lashed out. He stated that when he grows up he's gonna hunt the vampire down and kill him, no matter what. But not only was Mr.Crepsly there to hear this , Shan was too. Darren was hiding behind a piece of furniture, and nobody noticed. Later on the next day Darren tried not to focus on what happened with Steve so he got his mind of him by thinking of Madam Octa. He thought she was so beautiful, that he had to have her. So Later that day he went running back to the location of the Freak show to steal Madam Octa. As he took her, he left a note behind saying " Do not Come looking for her. She will be in great care. Don't come or else i will report you to the police". But poor darren didn't know what's to come. What's to come is the price of friendship.
The day he invited Steve to his house, he showed him what he stole. When Darren was demonstrating how Madam Octa is worked, the spider bit Steve. He was left paralyzed. The only way to save him was to become a vampire himself. After he agreed to become one,steve was not stupid to know what happened. By all the clues that he gathered up on Darren's strange acts he determined that he was too a vampire. Steve hunted down Darren in the graveyard and said he too, was being killed. Darren tried explaining that this was the only way to save his life but steve did not want to listen. He vowed to kill them both. After that day he hated shan but shan did not hate him. He still thought of him as a friend. A Best friend.
