《Tiger Eyes (Phillip Carlyle)》Chapter 11 - Fire
Advertisement
We finish our performance. This time it was good. No throwing of things. Clapping and cheering. Phillip was interacting with kids while I get changed into normal things. Ellie was beside me with her hand in mine. I give her a squeeze before I let go of it. I hear a commotion in the ring.
"Elllie, stay here okay" she gives me a nod.
As I thought, Phillip and the usual thugs are arguing.
"Is there a problem?" I ask
"Yeah there is, we want you to get out of 'ere ya freak" one of them spits
Trying not to take it too personally I smile at them
"Well sometimes we don't get what we want sir so I'm gonna have to ask you to leave" that got me a punch in the face. As if on cue, my little friends start to fight them thing are going to get hairy.
I think one got thrown into the ropes of the trapeze, but what I didn't know was that they saw a little candle and set the place on fire. We rush out of the circus. Phillip realised that Anne was still in there when I realised Ellie wasn't to be found. Phillip distracted everyone by going into the building, as I went into the back. Just as the roof collapsed, I found Ellie. She had taken in a lot of smoke and was burn't everywhere. Not only that but she had a giant pole on her. With all my strength I lifted the pole up and pushed her aside where the pole didn't land. I started to cough some smoke up. I can't give up now. Gosh it's very hot in here. I saw Phillip and P.T. Well P.T carrying Phillip. So I wait til they had gone. Which luckily wasn't long. I made it out as Phillip was put on a stretcher.

"Ellie!" I hear Helen shout.
"Iris!" I hear Caroline shout.
I smile at them. I put Ellie on a stretcher. The doctors check her pulse. I didn't hear what happened. But saw them shaking their heads. I was in tears before I black out.
