Oh my God its been months since I've been here! I'm super duper sorry this time! especially for leaving you on a cliffhanger Well enough talking lets get back to the story!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I hold Emma's hand as I walk into the tent...I didn't like it but, she was all I had at the moment
No clowns yet... phew
We find our way to our seats as the show begins.
"Hello! And Welcome to the Ringling Brothers Circus!" the announcer says.
The crowd applauds.
"Before we start our show, I will need one volunteer from the audience!" the ringleader says.
Many kids go "ooooo pick me! Pick me!"
I try to turn away but I accidentally make eye contact with the ring leader.
"You there! With the glasses! Come up here!"
I slowly walk over through the gate to him.
"What's your name, lad?"
I stutter. "T-Tyler..But please, call me T.K."
"Well T.K., Do you like games?!" he says with a little to joyful.
"Um yeah..I guess"
"Well how about you play a game with BoBo the clown?!"
Oh GOD NO. I freeze from fright.
"I guess that means OK!" the ringleader shouts.
The crowd cheers. I guess there's no turning back
"Ok you have to hide and Bobo will try to find you! But the catch is.. when you're ready it will be dark with very little light!"
I gulp.
"Now Go!"
I hide in a barrel along the ends of the ring.
I start breathing heavily when I hear his chuckle
"Here I come little boy!" and the tent goes dark..
He's coming for me and people are just watching?!
I hear him get closer after about five minutes.
"Where arrrre yoooooou?"
He suddenly opens up the lid and pulls me out in what feels like a death hug.
"Found you!" he says cackling.
I scream at the top of my lungs as a few tears start to pour.
Suddenly he lets go and I run out of the tent.
"Niall! NIALL!" I scream. Thinking my brother could somehow magically poof out of nowhere and save me.
I go into the fetal position and put my head down on my knees.
I hear someone walk up.
It's Emma.
"You ok, T.K.?"
I sniffle.
"I don't know.."
We're silent for a few moments.
"If it makes you feel any better..." Emma says. "When he grabbed you I went and punched him in the face.."
I can't help but laugh.
Soon the ringleader walks out.
"That was unnecessary to punch our clown and freak out! You are hereby banned from the circus.. FOR LIFE!" he screams at us.
He walks away with obvious rage.
"Well we don't like it here anyway!" Emma yells at him.
I get up and walk to the car with Emma.
Maybe I don't hate her after all.
