''you...what do you mean you burned? you're right in front of me! you couldnt...be here..'' Theodore said desperatly trying to understand what was happening, how could Jake be there in front of him if he burned? how was he seeing Jake? his thoughts were going crazy.
The clown was with a pitful expression looking at Theodore, he then removed his hand from Theodore's shoulder and said ''Theo...im not real...'' he laughed and started walking backwards nearly falling sometimes ''im a ghost, its a curse, Theo...i was bond to this place...they took something from me...something i cant have back...''
Theodore froze and looked at the clown in shock ''wait what? but how? you..'' Theodore was in verge of tears while looking at the clown ''who's they and what...what did they took? i dont understand...''
the clown gave Theodore a sad smile and tilted his head walking backwards ''my Theo...they took away my life...my happyness..they took what i liked the most...'' he said with a hint of sadness in his voice.
''who are they Jake!?'' Theodore raised his voice, trying to understand, then when the clown answered Theodore's heart dropped ''Julius...Marth...they took that from me, they're the one who ruined our lives, they are the ones to blame!''
Then was like a key turned inside Theodore's head ''the fire...'' the whispered, tears running down his cheeks, the clown looked at his with a creepy smile ''they putted the circus on fire with everyone inside'' Theodore was scared of course, but he could see in his eyes that behind that maniac facade there was still the sweet boy he know that got his dreams taken away from him.
Thedore stepped closer ''Jake...i came back to look for you right after the fire was gone...but i didnt found you'' the clown' creepy smile vanished ''i saw you...i waited for you...im not dead Theo...but almost every part of my body was destroyed...'' Theodore took a deep breath to stop crying and slowly took another step closer ''why you didnt called my name..? i...i could've taken you with me, you wouldnt need to suffer here alone''
The clown laughed ''it wasnt that easy Theo...before you come that day i tried to walk out of here...but was like i was pushed right in again'' Theodore let out a warm breath and looked at tre ceiling for a moment then he said '' what if...you can only get out if...someone came here to find you...to free you..?''
