Sawblade circus

Chapter Thirteen

"What?" "Come on, please!" Annabelle begged. "Ugh...okay." Nathan got up from his bed, and grabbed a jacket. "You must really like Snakeman, don't you." "Nathan, he is my childhood friend, my best friend, my only friend. I love him." She said. Nathan laughed. "As a friend or..." He got interrupted by his grandma. "Why are you two up so late?" She asks. "First, grandma is dad asleep?" Annabelle asks. "Yes, he's sleeping in his old bedroom. Why?" Nathan stayed quiet, but Annabelle decided to tell the truth. "Grandma, we're going to get my friend back." Their grandma became shock by her words. "Please, can you help us?" 

She was stun by her words, but she nod her head. "Get dress, I know a short cut to that old creepy Hellish circus." Annabelle grabbed a jacket, while her grandma puts on her shoes. "Are you two ready?" She whispered. "Yeah..." They tiptoed out of the house, and started running toward the streets, and to the forest. "This forest brings back memories." "Really now." Annabelle said. "They called this path, the Dark Path of Death." "How come?" Nathan asks. "This is where most of the murders happened." "We just have to be quiet, okay." Annabelle and Nathan nod their heads, and started to walk normal in the dark shadows. 

"Do you think this might work?" Annabelle ask her grandma. "Of course." Later on, they finally reach the circus. "Where's Snakey's tent?" Their grandma asks. Annabelle swing around, until she found his tent. "There!" Around the tents were shadow demons, that were blocking the entrance/exit of the tents. "I got this..." Their grandma got up, and take out her contacts. "Well, well, look who finally came back." One of the shadow demons said. "It's Night Angel; long time no see." "You guys know why I left this Hellish place!" "Aww, that's harsh." "Oh shut it you ungrateful monster!" She yelled. While their grandma was yelling at the shadow demons, Annabelle and Nathan finally got inside of Snakeman's tent. 

"Snakey!" Annabelle whispered. Snakeman's eyes started to open, but he was still half asleep. "Annabelle?" He whispered. "Shh, we're here to get you out of this Hell." Snakeman's eyes became wide. "How did you two get pass the shadows?" Annabelle whispered in a low voice. "My grandma was once part of them, but now she's helping us to get you out of here alive." Snakeman's eyes became dark and mysterious. "Just leave me alone here!" Annabelle started to get frustrated, so she grabbed his hand. "Listen to me, if you ever want to get out of this Hellhole. This might be your only chance, got that. Now, come on!" 

Snakeman was shock by her words. "What happened to her?" He ask Nathan. "Long story." Annabelle peek out of the tent, only to see her grandma talking to the shadows. "Come on." Annabelle signal her grandma, by making a bird call. "My my, I believe it's early, well I'm going back to my tent." Their grandma walked away from the shadow demons, and caught up with the others. "You got him?" She asks. "Yeah." They were hiding in the tent's shadows, until they saw the Ringmaster, chewing on something. "What on Earth?" Annabelle whispered. "Shhh..." Snakeman put his hand on Annabelle's mouth. 

"Mommy...Daddy...!" A small boy cried out. "Don't cry, they only hate you." The Ringmaster said. "I want to go home!" "Well I want to feed my freaks, and your the only one that can!" The young boy started to burst out in tears. "Stop crying!" The Ringmaster punch the boy in the left eye. "Mommy!" "Oh, mommy, daddy; who cares about you, you annoying little brat!" Just then, the Ringmaster took off his gloves, and he reveals his hidden claws. The boy cried even more. "Time to eat!" The Ringmaster slit the poor boy's throat, and started to drink his blood. "Oh my..." Nathan got interrupted. Then, the Ringmaster started to use his claws to rip open the dead child's stomach. "Can we go?" Annabelle asks. "He have very good eyes, so beware." Their grandma said. 

Just then, Crazy Louis got off his collar and charge at the dead body. "Eat up, my friend; you need it." Louis wolfed the guts down his throat. "Now we can leave..." Their grandma said. They got up, and ran quickly through the woods. "Thank you so much, for coming back for me." Snakeman said. "Anything for a friend." Annabelle said while holding on to his hand. "We're almost...." Their grandma got cut off by a car. "I guess we're here!" After one car was gone, they ran past the street and down another street, until they got home. "Now your safe for good..." Their grandma said. Just then, their dad got up, and walked out of his room. "What happened?" He asks, until he saw Snakeman. "Well, make yourself at home."
