Tom's POV

I ran into a bathroom and locked the whole thing up. I ran to the sink. Insted of coughing up blood, I coughed up a purplish black ooz.

'Oh no. No no no no!' I screamed in my head. I immediately started to wash my hands. I reset the bathroom and left. I ran into someone and fell.

"I'm so sorry, I wasn't paying attention to where I was going." I apologized.

"No no no. It's fine, are you okay?" The man asked, helping me up. His accent was clear, he was a local.

He was wearing a blue flannel shirt, blue jeans, and black shoes. He began staring at me.

"Your eyes are so-"

"Freaky, horrific, weird," I said insulting myself.

"Pretty," He blushed.

"I hardly think having black voids for eyes is 'Pretty'"

"My name's Brian, Brian Lavrov." He extended a hand towards me.

"Thomas Rosewood." I said shaking his hand. A blush sprung across his face.

"You're from London, correct?" He asked.

I nodded, "Yeah, why are you asking?"

"No reason. Bye." He shambled off.

'Strange' I thought. I walked back to Tord who was playing the circus games.

"I'm back, have you won anything?" I asked.

Tom swung around and hugged me. "Tom! I was getting worried, was it just a normal coughing fit?"

"N-no, but I'm fine. Lets just try to have some fun."

Tord frowned, he didn't seem to believe me. I sighed and walked over to the balloon darts booth. Tord went first. He got 3 darts, he had thrown two and popped balloons with both.

"Hey Tord, I ran into the strangest guy coming back from the bathroom," I mentioned.

Tord flinched as he through the dart. It almost hit the guy in the booth, but it hit a balloon instead.

"Hey, you did it!" I clapped. Tord turnd to me. He put his hands on my shoulders.

"Are you okay? Did he try anything?!" He asked.

"No, he was really nice. He said my eyes were pretty."

"Who is this guy?" He asked jealously.

"I his name was Brian La-something, I forgot his last name. All I know is that he is a local."

The guy in the booth poked Tord's shoulder. "U-uh sir, would you like to pick your prize?"

"O-oh, sure." He looked around.

I saw a cute orange cat plushie, it all most looked like a tiger. I wanted it but it wasn't my choice. I looked at Tord, he was looking at a toy gun. I snickered. He looked down at me.

"What?" He asked.

"Oh it's nothing, you never change," I said while smiling.

He went back to the prizes and went back to looking at the cat plush. I guess he noticed me looking at the cat. He picked it out and handed it to me.

"Here." He said.

I blushed hard. "But you won, you should get what you want!"

"I want to get this for you." Tord said with a smile.

"But-"

"No buts." He shoved it in my pocket. He put his arm around me and we walked to another game.

*Time skip*

It was about 3:00 pm. There was going to be a show happening at 4:00. We played a couple more games and rides. We went to the tent early so we could get front row seats.

We kept ourselves intertaind with one of Tord's games on his phone.

"Ladys and geltalmen, the show is about to begin!"

The ring master entered the circle. He wore a black tuxedo. He tiped his hat.

"Welcome to the circus supremo show, the trials of light, we will be grabbing some people from the audience to help us preform." He announced.

"I wonder if one of us will be picked?" I whisperedto Tord.

"Mabe."

The lights were turned off and spotlights flew around the tents. They were picking people. One flew over to me.

"Ah, look it this. A young man with strange eyes, perfect." The ring master said with a crooked smile.

He took my hand and pulled me to the center of the circle. He tipped me like we were dancing. He put his face close to mine, too close. I felt my face heat up. I saw Tord stand up out of the corner of my eye.

"Now then, we will take the volunteers to the back and get them ready. We will leave you this while you wait." The ring master said leting me go.

A bunch of actors enterd the circle and began performing. The ring master lead us to the back. Tord followed.

The ring master practically through me into a stall and gave me a white tuxedo with blue silk flowing off ove it, I guessed they acted like ribens. I guickly put it on and steped out of the stall. Tord was waiting for me on the outside. He looked at me. He blushed and his nose began to bleed.

"Tord you need to get that checked out."

"Okay," He said wiping his nose.

"So, how do I look?"

"You looked amaz-"

Someone pulled me by the arm. "There you are, come on. It's show time!!"

They pulled me away. Tord had some objections, but I told him to go back to our seats. I followed the person who pulled me. She lead me to the ring master.

"Ah, the man with no eyes," he said turning to me.

"Tom." I said. I wanted him to stop calling me that, its baseicly calling me no eyes.

"Well 'Tom', its about to start." I sighed.

Let the show begin.
