(Phillips pov)
"Phillip!"I hear Ember scream. I run as fast as I ever had in my life. I stop outside the circus only to see about ten men punching and kicking Ember. "Hey!! Leave her alone!" I shouted at the men. "Or what pretty boy?What are you going to do,huh?" He laughed. They came over and started hitting me. I was glad though. Their attention was focused on me and not Ember. I yelped out in pain as they punched me in the ribs sending me to the ground in Pain.
Next thing I know I am awake in the middle of the circus ring. I look up and see everyone staring down at me, including Ember. "Are you okay?" I said a terrified sound in my voice. "Yes I only have bruises and scratches, but you are worse." She said with a blanket draped around her shoulders, her red dress ripped and dirty. I tried to get up but I got a sudden pain in my head. "Ow!" I said holding my head in my hands. Mr. Barnum picked me up and put me on the chairs backstage. "Just stay there for a while you should recover soon." Mr. Barnum said, smiling at me sympathetically.
(Embers pov)
Phillip grew better in the next hour. I was back practicing my trapeze with Anne and W.D. After our act in front of the crowd I ran backstage and threw on my big baggy jumper over my costume. I looked over at Phillip. Something was different about him. He didn't have the sparkle in his eyes they looked...dull. I walked up to him. "What's wrong Phillip?" I asked worried. "Its just how my parents treated you last night. I'm ashamed of who I am related to." "There is no need to be ashamed It's not your fault. Plus I'm used to this by now I have been called names my whole life."I said tears in my eyes and tears in his to. "You don't get it."he said as he walked away up to Mr. Barnum's office.
"Ember, I was wondering if you would like to move with Charity,the girls and I?" Mr. Barnum said from behind, startling me a bit,with the two girls beside him. "I would love to but I wouldn't want to be intruding on your new home" I said politely. "Oh no you wont be invading us at all. Charity wants you to stay." Anne walks up to us and says" it isn't true is it? You are moving in with them?" Anne asked tears about to burst from her eyes.
I have a decision to make and it is a lose-lose situation, I will be hurting Anne if I don't stay,but hurting the girls if I don't go with them. Oh god.........
