Chapter 2
The light's brightened and Sam finally saw the person standing next to him,
Popo the clown was a tall, thin man with red hair and with the clown makeup and yellow suit he really did look like a quite scary.
"GO AWAY!!" the clown yelled.
"I'm not going to do anything," Sam reassured him.
"I've seen you with the devil and I know you're here to send me back to hell," the clown shrieked.
"No, I promise you I wouldn't…..h..u..rt…a……f..l..y." Sam stuttered as the clown hit him and he landed several feet away.
As Sam recovered from the attack, he got up and looked around expecting the clown to appear and hit him again. But all he found was darkness. He got up and stumbled through the exit of the poorly lit circus.
The next day was Saturday so Sam didn't have to work, which was good because he was still feeling queasy from the other day. Ben, Sock and Andi came round to see how he was and asked questions about what happened at the circus. When they heard Sam had been attacked they decided to help him catch the soul.
"Sam you could really do with some help," Ben said.
"Yep, anyway we have a day off tomorrow," Sock told Sam, pointing around the group of friends.
"So what do you say?" Andi asked him.
"I guess, I mean I ended up getting hurt last time, so maybe I have more chance of catching him with you lot." Sam shrugged.
"I always hated clowns," Ben said shivering at the memory of his first time at a circus.
"Don't worry Benjamin, I, your brother from another mother, am here to help." Sock said while patting Bens back.
