Today was a very snowy day, it seems like winter was about to arrive soon from the weather, to which Tom wasn't really a fan of, he had grown to be afraid of the "ice falling from the sky" for some reason that he hasn't explained to anyone yet..
.
.
.
Tom was walking around the circus, he watched as some members chatted, some drank or ate, some joked around, some even practiced their acts or any other activities in the meantime, Gabby approached him after a while.
.

Gabby:Tom!!

Tom:Gabby! Hey, do you need something?

Gabby:Oh nothing, just wondering what you were doing tonight.

Tom:Why?

Gabby:Well, tonight there will ice falling down from the sky, and well.. I know you don't have good experience with the ice but what if you tried to come, this one time?

Tom:I uhm.. I'll think about it..

.
Tom was obviously not coming, he just couldn't bare to be there when the sky threw sharp frozen water at him, he felt bad that he couldn't be there with Gabby but he knew that she wouldn't force him to come, besides she had already made so many friends she could hangout with instead.
Gabby understood and nodded her head, she was sad that he might not be there but she knew it was for a good reason.
.

.
Soon that night, Tom was sitting on the vanity table as he looked at himself, he didn't like what he was looking at, there was one scar that had got from one of the experiment that revolved around the "snow".
Which left him scarred for life, both physically and emotionally.
The memories were still so clear in his mind as he begins to hyperventilate in distress just remembering the screams of his sister.
.
.
.
.
.
The memory was of a little kraken, he was in the waters, playing around and having fun, until suddenly a storm began to form as a strange flying machine appeared in the sky, it began to throw arrows as it attempted to hit him, however right before the arrow could peirce him.
.

"WATCH OUT!!"

.
His older sister came, she shielded him right before he could get hit, caused her to get her pierced right through her chest, she let out a ear pitching scream from the pain of the poisonous arrow, the little kraken was traumatized to watch his sister get shot before his eyes, he began to cry, he looked up at the sky and suddenly a sharp piece of frozen water flew towards him, it sliced his cheek, causing some of his skin to scrape off.
And as he was distracted from the pain and trying to protect his sister while calling for help, he was grabbed from out of the water by two humans and forcefully thrown into a cage, from where he had no escape, he watched as his sister's lifeless body slowly sunk into the water, he screamed and cried in fear and worry, he tried to release himself but it was all useless, he was trapped..
.
.
.
.
.
Tom could feel tears falling from his eyes, he felt so weak in that moment, maybe if he wasn't playing in the surface he wouldn't have been spotted.. Maybe his sister would still be alive now... Maybe..
.
.
.
There was a sudden knock at the door, Tom quickly wiped his tears and put his mask back on in a frantic before asking, trying to use a more natural tone to hide the fact that he was crying.
.

Tom:Who's there!?

"Sweetheart are you feeling alright?"

.
Said a familiar voice, Tom's heart skipped a beat from hearing that kind voice that brought him comfort, especially the nickname, he sat up from his seat and walked to the door, when he opened the door he was met with the mummy.
