Julian's head was hazy, his eyes slowly opening and taking in his surroundings. A dark room with crates in it, what appeared to be cages and jewels. Julian groaned softly, wishing he could shut out the sounds of outside the room. It took him a few moments to make out what the sounds were. Applause. It all hit him like a ton of bricks, the memories of what happened earlier flooded to him, his mouth opening to scream, but no sound came out of his mouth. Julian sat up fast, but quickly regretted it as the world spun around him. He gasped out, feeling as though he would hurl.
He whimpered out, laying back down, the metal floor feeling like agony on his aching back. Wait...metal. Julian felt around and his hand touched steel bars. He groaned and rolled over, curling up into the fetal position as he heard what he recognized to be the closing song, several people singing in unison, though Julian failed to make out the lyrics. In what seemed forever, someone entered the room. Julian cracked open his eyes and looked up at the man who entered. "Rough day, Boy?" Julian leaned away from the Ringmaster, who kneeled down to him.
When Julian tried to speak to The Ringmaster all that came out was a low breath. Panic hit Julian, and he tried to speak as best he could, but again no sound escaped his lips. He looked up at the older man, who reached into the cage, and began to stroke Julian's dark blue hair. He shivered and scooted away, silently panicking over the loss of his hat. "You'll make a fine exhibit..." Finnian muttered. Julian frantically shook his head, trying in vain to call for help. His display of fear made The Ringmaster laugh loudly, his booming voice disgustingly sweet. "Its a'ight boy...you'll just sit there and look pretty..." The Ring Master sat up, stepping back. "I figured you'd want this back."
The Ringmaster opened the cage doors and tossed Julian's beloved hat into the iron prison and shut the door quickly, locking it securely. "G'night, Doll." The Ring Master grinned and left the supply tent, leaving the ill feeling Julian to curl up and sob silently, praying for a savior.
