The 1940's Escape

Chapter 6: "Am I A Circus Freak?!"

Gary's POV. 1899 (42 years before the guests arrive)
"Come on Come all to my freak show. Where you will see thinks you here never seen before." I said as the curtain went up to reveal a man who started to swallow the swords in his hands. Then a tall but buff man walked onto the stage. "Ladies & Gentlemen. It's time for the test your strength challenge. Then he grabbed me by the throat & threw me to the wall.
10:00 p.m.
3rd person POV
"Did you get some information, on why we are here before you ripped that cat apart?" Tim said as they were walking back to the lounge. "Yeah he said that everyone that we have encountered including his master & we are all trapped until we keep playing the ring master's game." Mae said. "Game?......What game?" Angela said confused. "A game which means we're trapped til sunrise." Autumn said whispered. "That's what we've been saying the whole time." Adrian said as they arrive to their next location. It was a circus tent in the distance with blue & gold ribbons at the front of the entrance. There were clowns everywhere as they got a little closer.

Mae's POV
" Guys I think this is were the next challenge is." I said. " Yes." Dana said as we all walked into the tent. Then I notice there is a note on the ground. " Hey guys I found something." I said as I went over to them with the note. Then we were interrupted by the person who we shouldn't trust the most. The ring master, Gary Mal. "Welcome!...to my world of freaks!" He yelled as he opened another certain to release them & a few clowns. We start running to the exit but two clowns were blocking it. "Hey if you lay a hand on them I cut you're throats." I yelled as they grabbed me. I screamed bloody murder as the clowns dragged me onto the stage. Gary glared at me with his democratic green eyes. "Stand on one foot." He said as two halves of the hard wood floor turned into a pool of sharks. "Hey Dipshit! She can't do that!" Adrian yelled out as they were forced to watch me be tortured. "Adrian, It doesn't work like that! People like me would be treated sort of unfairly in this time." I said as I could feel tears well up. "Wait. How about two people compete in the final death challenge to save me. Winner saves me while the defeated gets to suffer a brutal death." I said as the room went silent.
Then they started to vote. "Everyone this is Randle my assistant he will help you vote in the final challenge." Gary said pointing at a man standing to the right of him. "Oh shit I guess...I can't...get out..of...this....one." I said as I was trying to keep my balance but obviously I couldn't.
3rd person POV
Dana voted for Tim
Adrian voted for Collin
Angela voted for Dana
Tim voted for Adrian
Autumn voted for Dana
They all casted the votes. Randle shuffled them until he pulled one. "The first person going into the challenge is....." He said beginning the suspense. "The Soilder." He said holding Collin's card to show everyone. "Vhat!who voted me in?" Collin said standing up from the bench. (Adrian's Confession- "Surprise Bitch.") "The next person going into the challenge is the opera singer." He said pulling Dana's card from the pile. "Well I guess we're doing this." Collin said as  he hugged Dana good luck. "Yes I guess we are." Dana's said answering his question. "Ok you two follow me to the other stage." Randle said as he lead the challengers to the stage. Randle handed Dana a note that said what was the challenge. "In order to save your friend, You will have to put on a fashion show while you're other friends will be judging." Dana finished reading as the challenge began. So they both started grabbing random clothes. When they were done. Collin was wearing a blue feathered bowa & a gold crown. Angela & Autumn were judging the 'contest ' while Adrian watched over Mae so nothing would happen. "This is painful ya know." Mae said as she was trying to balance. "It'll be fine" Dana said they begin judging. She was wearing a light orange scarf & sliver tiara. The judges held their signs. Angela wrote a 10 for Dana & a 10.5 for Collin. Soon enough it was Autumn turn. Her score was 9.5 for Collin & 9.7 for Dana. The scores were set & Dana won. Then Randle gave Dana a note that said. " You've won the challenge but it's not done yet. You would have to kill your self or your friend we all know how this ends." Delaney as tears began to full. "No I can't Collin, I can't kill you or myself because that's wrong." She said. "Dana it's ok. It's Gucci. Do it for all of us & to save your sister." Collin said as they both turned to look at Mae still balancing. "Ya, know I'm surprised she survived this long." She whispered to him as she grabbed the gun. "Collin I'm sorry I love you!" Dana yelled as two bullets went into Collin's chest. Right before she did so he said I love you too Dana." Dana break down on the floor shaking.
Mae's POV
I leaped over the pool & over to the stage to comfort my sister as she just killed her best friend. "We can't keep doing this Mae." Dana said through sobbing. "But D we have to. To escape this damn house." I said shifting back to my original height. "What the fuck do we do now?" Tim asked as we stared down at Collin's dead body.
