Reopen?

[Tʜᴇ Fᴀʟʟᴇɴ Aɴɢᴇʟs]

(The girls are distracting the ring master and stuff to steal his keys to unlock the collars so they can leave! ^.^)

Annalise slipped into the trailer with the others, but pulled away into a corner to observe Mika's first move. The girl was downright daring, falling into the motions with an unnerving ease. Within the smokey confines of the cramped, dirty trailer, it all seemed almost real. Of course, that was the point of smoke. It created an illusion so full of mystery that even the most leveled head couldn't help but become tangled up in the fantasy. For this reason, Annalise hated smoke.

An unsteadiness bubbling welled up within her stomach as her moment for action came. She closed her eyes for a moment, taking the music, which she couldn't help but hate, but it set the tone. Her eyes opened, taking on that sleepiness that some found irresistible. With fluid motions, she moved around the room, wrapping her arms around those waiting for Mika's attentions. She suppressed the need to cringe as a few lent her a kiss and placed her grimy fingers on her hands and arms. Like Mika, she slipped away in a disguised escaped, letting her body move in unnatural ways, creating impossible arcs that brought most every eye to her. Carefully, she glanced at Mika, hoping to catch a hint at what they were to do next. She was too scared to take control, her mind allowing her only to follow.

[Tʜᴇ Fᴀʟʟᴇɴ Aɴɢᴇʟs]

Mika was paying attention to the guy with the keys, body twisting around and angling so he could see things he preferred. She kept her mouth far away from his, making sure to make it look teasing as her tail moved up his side and towards the belt that held the keys. She glanced at Annalise, hoping she'd see and try to signal Mike to get in here with his invisibility so he could take the keys. She was sick of having to rub against this man, and the fake purr was beginning to get close to a hiss if this kept up.

She sniffed and instantly was repulsed. Her ears twitched and she looked at Annalise and said, "Anny, I'm getting sleepy, what about you?" She had managed to unhook the key, having her tail wrapped around it and slid into her pants to hide it. They would need to get out of here tonight before they noticed! She pulled from the man, letting her tail rub under the mans triple chin. She would be taking a shower the minute she could, she wanted to get a nice cleaning. Her tail twitched uneasily as she felt someone stroking her tail, dangerously close to the base. She jerked her hips away and gave a teasing smirk to the man. She looked at Annalise in a 'Can we PLEASE go?!' kind of way.

Annalise continued her act, moving from one gruesome creature to another, keeping them entertained with her mind-boggling back-bends and other various tricks they found appealing. Each move made her sick in the stomach, and it was becoming harder and harder to mask the discomfort. Luckily, Mika's voice sent a wave of relief through her body. It was time. Carefully and gracefully, she pushed the door of the trailer open, slyly creating an smaller aperture for Mike to slip through.

Mike, still waiting in his cage, noticed the movement of the door. Showtime. He turned invisible and slipped out of his cage. He crawled through the darkness, making his way towards the trailer. Upon reached the door, he slipped inside, expertly moving around the men so they wouldn't sense his presence. He gently tapped Mika on the shoulder, alerting her of his presence.

"I am a bit tired, Mika," Annalise yawned, her eyes voicing her need to leave as well. She glanced out the door she had just opened, hoping they would be allowed to depart.

[Tʜᴇ Fᴀʟʟᴇɴ Aɴɢᴇʟs]

Mika looked at around and then felt Mike tap her shoulder. She looked around and grabbed the key from her pocket and held it out behind her so he could get it. She looked at the men and purred, "Please? We are so tired, we'll complete this tomorrow, maybe with a bit more to it... We are just so hungry and tired..." She mewed, gently stroking the ring masters arm. He grabbed her wrist and hissed, "If you two keep acting like this then you and her might get some extra bonus's..." He let her go, but his voice made her sick to her stomach.

She noticed he waved them off and grinned, making sure Mike had the ring before grabbing Annalise's arm and pulling her out the door. She walked to the cages and sat in the edge, wondering if Mike had gotten the key as she was eager to get the collar off, no doubt the ring master would be making his rounds sometime soon so they needed to hurry up.

Justin waited by the cages, catching sight of the girls coming out. He raised an eyebrow, wondering if they had gotten what they needed. It was getting really dark so he would have to light up spots so they could see...

[MBRShorse]

(Sorry for the delay! Much cleaning had to be done to obtain computer time.)

Annalise took a gulp of fresh air as Mika pulled her out of the smokey room the Ringmaster called home. With all her heart, she prayed that Mike managed to get these collars off of their necks so they could be free. She couldn't bear the thought of spending another day here, not after all of this.

Mike did his best to hide the key, desperately hoping that none of the men would notice the object mysteriously floating in the air. Slowly, he made his way across the room, doing his best to leave the men undisturbed. He wanted to strangle each and everyone one of them, though. The way they spoke about the girls, especially Mika, made his blood boil. He figured he'd have their revenge in moments when the stars of the show escaped.

Mike almost made it. Actually, no ever said he didn't make. You see, on the way out of the door, he tripped, cursed and became visible. Without even bothering to see if the anyone saw him, he jumped to his feet and ran. It wasn't long before he felt the shocks vibrating down his spine, but he was determined to continue running to make it to the group.

"Help!" he called to the group, hoping they'd have enough sense to grab the key from him to make fast work of achieving freedom.

[Tʜᴇ Fᴀʟʟᴇɴ Aɴɢᴇʟs]

(It's fine! )

Mika looked at Annalise and walked to the cages, kind of forgetting about Mike.. Which she cursed herself for when she saw him running towards them. Her eyes widened and she rushed over, fumbling to get the key and then put it in the lock on his collar. She unlocked it and watched it drop to the ground. She let out a relieved breath till she felt the shocks in her own collar, the ringmaster standing in the doorway of the trailer.

She shrieked, dropping the key and pulling at the collar as her skin on her neck began to burn from the electricity being put in her body. She was shaking like a leaf.

Justin looked up, seeing Mike come out. He got to his feet and saw Mika get the collar off of him and then she fell to her knees. Dammit... not good. He frowned and looked at Annalise. He played with the fire on his fingers as decided what to do. He picked up a few things that could catch on fire from the ground and he threw them at the ring master while they were in flames, hoping to get him to stop pushing the button.

[MBRShorse]

(Hey, I know I am a random stranger, but stay strong. I've been there before. Just keep going.)

Well, it seems that their perfect plan wasn't so perfect after all. Annalise watched as Mike and Mika took turns taking shocks from their collars until Mike manged to free himself. He seemed to fall into a temporarily stunned state, making him practically useless in every way imaginable. This made things difficult as the key flew through the air and landed a few feet away from Annalise. She made a move to reach for it, but felt electricity coil around her spine. Her body distorted momentarily as she waited for the pain to pass. Something fiery roared past her and shocks ceased. Trying to remain focused, she dove for the key and unlocked her own collar.

Mike finally managed to pull himself to his feet, the after effects of the shock wearing off. He ran over to Mika, grabbed her by the arms and pulled her back to her feet. They were going to have to run, and he didn't want to leave anyone behind. He steadied the girl before turning to help Annalise. He reached down to her help her, but she shook her head before thrusting the key into his head. With a flick of her eyes, he knew what he had to do. He turned and ran over to Justin who wore the last collar. He held out the key, just waiting for him to take it before it was too late.

[Tʜᴇ Fᴀʟʟᴇɴ Aɴɢᴇʟs]

(Thanks... Things just haven't been going well and they don't seem like they are going to get any brighter any time soon..)

Mika whimpered, feeling the electricity stop for a moment as the ringmaster lost the remote for a second. She whined, feeling the collar chafe the burnt skin. When Mike stood her up, she almost collapsed again but managed to stay standing... she looked at him as he took the key to Justin and she frowned, the last one with the collar one. She grabbed the key from Justin but couldn't see the lock. She fumbled desperately before finding it and feeling the collar come off, showing the fresh, and bleeding, wounds from being electrocuted so much... she had never been the ringmasters favorite person.

Justin looked at Mike and grabbed the key, unlocking his collar and letting it drop to the ground. He let out a relieved breath and then grinned at the ringmaster. He picked up another thing of flaming garbage and threw it into the trailer of the ringmaster... He smirked and then ran to Annalise. He grabbed her arm and pulled her up, "Come on, we have to leave, now... Mike! Get Mika! Make sure she doesn't lag behind.." He said, noticing the ringmaster pulling out a large riffle.

[MBRShorse]

(Just keep your head up. Everything happens for the reason and everything is a balance. So, all this bad stuff will turn into something awesome at some point. Or so goes my philosophy.)

Normally, Annalise did not take kindly to people touching her, but given the circumstances, she'd let this incident slide. Once on her feet, though, she wretched her arm away from Justin and ran, not interested in seeing what the Ringmaster planned to do with his rifle. Where she was running to, she didn't know. She figured that once the danger was gone, they could figure out where to go. Right now, all that matter was getting as far away from the camp as possible.

Mike watched Annalise take off like a rocket. Well, she certainly was considerate. Mike, on the other hand, decided to heed Justin's call and ensure that Mika didn't get left behind, or anyone else, for that matter. He turned to the girl and held out his hand. Sadness filled him as he saw the burn marks on the poor girl's neck. Why would people treat others like animals? Why would someone want to hurt another being without a reason? It made him so angry, but he took these feelings and turned it into energy.

"Come on! Let's go!" he said, smiling a bit in an attempt to relieve the tension.
