Runaway

John and Bethany asked neon what's the matter while fiddling with the cage lock. "I need to find a way home..." Neon says crying. John and Bethany agree and manage to unlock the cage. They then quickly rush to Neon's to work on his lock. Just then, the men came back and began to restrain John and Bethany. John and Bethany were quickly put back into their cage, scared and not wanting to be touched. Then morning came afterwards, and The ringmaster walked up to John and Bethany's cage. John and Bethany looked scared and refused to obey the ringmaster. The ringmaster said that Today was the day that Neon preformed. John and Bethany tried to reason with the ringmaster into letting them perform instead of neon. "Silence!!!" The ringmaster yelled and walks over and undoes Neon's cage. John and Bethany silenced real fast, but looked at Neon worried. Then Neon is dragged to the stage. John and Bethany watch from the sidelines to see how this would end up. Neon then walks on stage and sees rows of people looking at him, so he does what he did best, he sang and danced. John and Bethany sigh a sigh of relief, knowing this would not be as bad as their performances ended up. Neon then takes a bow and is brought backstage and locked up again. Once in the cage, John and Bethany happily clap for neon and congratulates him on his beautiful voice. Neon smiles and asks what they did for their act, "w-well we are mostly m-made fun of, we're basically the freaks of the circus" they say sadly. Then Neon starts to feel tired but still stays up to watch the next act, which was John and Bethany, John and Bethany sadly go out to the stage only to be laughed at and called a two-headed freak, but they stayed strong and prayed for their act to end. The act soon ends, and they are locked up once more. John and Bethany soon fall asleep, but before they do, they tell neon tonight as the night he should escape since they overheard the ringmaster say he was going to harm him. So Neon starts looking for an escape while they sleep. John and Bethany try to keep an eye on Neon as they sleep, as Neon sits for a minute to think. Just then, John and Bethany toss him a paper clip to try and pick the lock. Neon then bends the paper clip and starts to work, while John and Bethany tell him once he gets his cage unlocked to run away as fast as he can and dare not to look back. "But I want to free you two as well." he says after getting the lock undone. John and Bethany shake their heads, "you can't the ringmaster will come after you, but we can keep him from you to buy you time" they said while Neon got ready to run. He then sprints way into the woods while The men chase after him as the ringmaster gets into a clown car. John and Bethany beg the ring master to not go after Neon since they would work twice as hard. The ringmaster ignores them and starts to follow the men into the woods, Neon was still running until he came across a large stream. Chase was tired of listening to his dad, so he went to his calming spot the large stream he called "Bayous" and notices neon swimming across while the men swam after him. Chase sees the men and quickly jumps into the river and grabs Neon running him back to his house as fast as his legs would go.
