Love, Phillip Carlyle

Chapter 1 (Family)

(Ashley's POV)

"Where do you think you're going Scarface?" James said, no demanded I shook my head and pulled my sister Brittney behind me she was shaking so bad it shook my arm as well 'Why can't the world except us?!"

(A while Before)

Walking slowly down the road, younger sister trailing behind me. It was Sunday the streets not very busy. My sister shakingly talked about how she wants to go to the Barnum's Circus I have heard a lot about it and how it took in freaks like us. I sighed and turned the corner only to bump into Him...

(Back to normal time)

"Leave us alone James" he and his posse chuckled "hmmm...How about no" he smacked me across the face so hard I fell to the ground my sister quickly bent down beside me "Ashley!" she gasped getting down besides just then The Barnum's Circus group turned the corner on the other side of the street. James was about to bring down his fist again but on my little sister I grabbed her and threw her to the other side of the street knowing the circus would take care of her if this was to truly hurt me. She landed right in front of them and she let out a gasp "Ashley!" I Saw everything slow down I used this time to smile at her and mouth 'I love you' As the impact came onto my face I fell onto the concrete once again. This time I heard the thunder of feet and I opened my eyes a little bit and saw the Barnum's Circus standing in front of me as two people stood by my side it was a woman with a beard I believe her name was Lettie if I remember correctly and a darker skinned man beside me. W.d. Wheeler that I remembered they helped me up and I noticed everyone was looking at me Brit came running at me and hugged me around my waist and cried into my stomach "Brit..." she looked up and she signals me to get down to her hight I did what I was told and she runs her finger along my scar "Ashley please never do that again" she spoke as if she was older than her real age (Shes 8. Ashley 21) I smiled and nodded and hugged her. Standing up P.t. Barnum came up to me "Are you ok miss..." I smiled at him "Snow" he smiled back "Miss. Snow if I might ask how did you earn that beautiful scar?" i looked down "Abusive parents" He nodded as brit walked up to him and pulled his shirt a little bit he looked down at her "Yes little princess" She giggled "Is it true you think were beautiful?" he nodded she smiled and hugged him. He picked her up hugging her back "Miss Snow you and your sister can come join us at the circus if you'd like we can give you both shelter and food." A large smile crossed my face I nodded "She can sing and Ashley can tame any animal that crosses her path she did it to a wild wolf once!" Brit spoke up and everyone looked back at me "Is that true?" I nodded P.t. smiled and we all walked to the circus 'I finally have a family'
