bastard of the circus

chapter 9

Jordan's point of view

I woke up in the same place I started , this time with a note next to me , I picked it up

" Hello Jordan!
I will be gone for a week to live with my friends for a while , I have left you and Cheshire in charge of the shows while I'm gone , don't dissapoint me please
Sincerely yours ,
Akira marine "

Huh I got up out of the bed , neating it up and going to my wardrobe , grabbing a light blue outfit , I put it on and threw my other clothes into the basket , I checked the time
" 4:29 am ? , I must've only slept for a couple hours , well better go check up on Cheshire "
I grabbed the basket , walking down the stairs and placing the basket in the kitchen , without eating breakfast I rushed out to meet Cheshire in front of the door to the other world
" Ah hello Jordan! I suppose you got the letter? " He was in a human body , Akira told me about it , that every creature in Wonderland had one incase they needed to go outside , he was wearing a purple and pink striped tux with a white polo shirt , black bowtie , pants and shoes
I nodded and opened the door " are all the actors and performers ready? "
It was Cheshires turn to nod , I walked through the door to the circus , I smiled softly , remembering about the first time I came here , but then remembering about the story and my mom , I just realised she must be wondering where I am! Cheshire suddenly saw me staring in the distance
" are you ok there J?"
I nodded " just missing my mom "
Cheshire flinched , he must know something , but I decided for my own safety to not mention it to him or anyone else , the only one I can trust is blue , but I must maintain a relationship with the others
After hearing about Akira's story , I can barely trust anyone

Akira's point of view
" Hey madds ! Im headin out " I looked around , no one .... Hmm , i decided to leave a note saying I was visiting Dean , I walked out of the door , shutting it gently behind me and walking deeper into the forest , I frowned , something I rarely did , I was already worried if the show was going to be okay , but I trusted Cheshire and Jordan , slowly walking to the cemetery I smiled softly , looking at all the tombstones and flowers , so many loved ones lost
I spotted deans grave , with withered lilacs in the pot next to the headstone , right.... I needed to buy new ones...........

I smiled softly at the grave looking down and taking my hat off ,
" IL be right back " I put my hat back on , walking to the nearby flower stall , I'm glad the market was open today , I saw a food stall , art stall , electronic stall , etc , I saw the flower stall not far from where I currently was , I walked up to it , tightening my bowtie
" Hello Jane,  may I have a bouquet of fresh lilacs? "
The old lady smiled at me , " of course " she handed me the lilacs " on the house for my best customer "
" Thank you m'lady " I said , walking back to the cemetery , going back to Deans grave , holding the flowers tightly , making sure they didn't fly away in the brisk wind , I took out the withered lilacs and placed the fresh ones in the pot  , walking away with tears in my eyes , holding the whitheted lilacs tightly as I whispered
" Goodbye dad "
