“Well I think that scares him off!” Mr. Hil stated. “Night Angel!” Luther screamed as he runs towards his old love. Night Angel was still on the ground coated in her own blood. “Oh God! Night, are you okay?” He said with a worried expression as he checks her. “L-luther…” She can barely speak. “You’re going to be fine. J-just listen to my voice.” He said as he was trying his best trying to patch the wound up. “Luther…don’t…” She whispered. “Night, I cared about you. I love you with all my heart and soul!” He said with tears flowing down his face. “Then…why did you…left me?”Luther became speechless, “I left you and Tom because…because I didn’t want you two to see me as a freak after my time in the military…” He burst out in tears. “What happened back in Vietnam?” Mr. Hil asks. “I protected my comrades when I jumped on top of a grenade. Shocking, I’m still around.” He explained.

            “And after that moment, I lost two of my arms and my right leg. After I came back, I ran away so you won’t think I’m like a freak to you or…” Night Angel interrupts him, “Luther, honey. I would never think of you like that….I love you so much.” She smiles and then she starts to cough up blood. “Night!” Luther rips up her shirt to reveal the gunshot wound. “No…” He whispered to himself. Sadly, the bullet did made its way to her chest. “It’s fine…” She whispered softly. “No, It’s not!” “Grandma?” Annabelle calls out her name while being carried by Snakey. “Good job, sweetie, but I…I have a feeling that he’ll be back soon. Very…soon…” She coughs up more blood. “Mom!” Mr. Hil shouted. “I’m coming Ashley.” Night Angel whispered. “Ashley? No, no....” Luther repeated himself. “I’m…coming, just…let me say goodbye to my love ones…” Everyone started to tear up. “Night, I-I love you more than anything…” Luther cried out as he holds her hand.

            “I love you too…Luther…and…everyone else.” “Grandma?” Nathan asks. “Grandma…loves you…” Night Angel took her last breath. “Night?” Luther screamed. “Grandma?” Along with everyone else. Night Angel was finally freed of her horror of this horrible circus. She’s free from pain and sorrow. “I’m sorry, Annabelle…” Snakey whispered calmly towards her. “Well, she’s free from this Hellish nightmare…” She said to herself. “It’s not fully over yet!” Luther shouted out in anger. “Follow me, I made a promise for your little friend, Annabelle.” “A promise?” She asks.

Luther opens up the tent that it used to belongs to The Ringmasters. “Here, he’d been hiding this from all of you.” Luther picks up the cure for the freak’s insanity. “You’ll be needing this.” He said as he tosses the cure to Snakey. “Thanks for saving us…” Nathan said with a sigh. “Well, by tomorrow this circus will be no more.” “What do you mean?” Annabelle asks. “I’m calling up the FBI and the police to check this place out.” Mr. Hil explains. “And what about you, Luther?” Luther just frowned, “I’ll take the freaks out of this place.” “Really?” Snakey asks. “Yep, since everything have been taken away from me.” “Dad, you still got me…” Mr. Hil stated. “No, no. You have a nice job, and some smart kids. I don’t want to mess it up for you…” Luther smiled, but deep inside his heart was shattered. “Well, drink up.” Snakey just give Annabelle a funny look, and then he chugged the medicine down as if it was his favorite drink. “Well, I guess he’ll be staying with you.” Luther chuckled, which it made Annabelle turn bright red. “Actually, that’s not a bad plan.” Snakey said with a smile. “I don’t mind.” Annabelle turn her head to face Snakey and smiled. “You’re kidding, right?” She chuckled. Without any warning, Snakey places his lips on hers. “Well, I guess I’ll be off.” Luther chuckled. After the two love birds were done kissing, they both paid attention to Luther as he finally freed everyone from their Hellish nightmare and walk away from Sawblade Circus.
