I heard Imogen scream at Akello. "Akello! You have to get out of here! NOW! You guys can escape faster than I, go!" It was then that I fully realized what had just happened. The clowns and surgeons no longer had someone to obey... and they would not hesitate to retaliate with a murder of there own. "Akello!" My usually smooth voice splintered as I shrieked at her "WE HAVE TO LEAVE!" I squirmed out of my cage and looked desperately for a way to free the others. As I thought frantically I heard the sounds of footsteps approaching the tent. I shrunk behind Imogen's tank and waited for the perfect moment. I heard a body thump on the floor and two sets of feet thud over to the lifeless body of the ringmaster. I took a deep breath and for the first time ever, allowed my fingernails to extend. With a controlled spring I landed on the back of the closest clown and punctured the skin around his throat with my claws. I ripped my way through his windpipe and turned towards the other clown I launched myself at him and again ripped open his throat. I stepped away from the choking, twitching bodies and was confronted by the body of Gabriel. I gasped and sat back on my heels. "Oh no."
