When I woke up, was in some sort of cold room. As my vision cleared I saw something run up to me. This figure was saying something but I didn't understand any of it. " Gia! Oh thank god your ok! I have missed you sooo much!" It was Alex! I stood up quickly. " Alex! I have missed you too!" I said as we both gave each other big hugs. I then noticed the way he looked. His eyes were a crystal blue, he was thinner than usual, and I think he had grown a ft. or two taller. " What happened?" I asked. He was smiling at me but when I asked the question, his smile vanished. " The humans here gave me shots and didn't feed me barely anything. They shots effects were my eyes, my height, and my memory." When he finished could help but feel sorry for him. I hugged him again in sympathy. " And I can't even remember if your were to have cubs or not." Right when h said that I broke the hug and looked around the room for my cubs.I saw them sleeping next to Vitaly. " My cubs!" I yelled. I ran over to them. " Taly? Annabell? Alexandria?" To my relief they woke up. " Hi mommy." Taly yawned. Then Alex showed up. The cubs eyes quickly opened and they all hid behind me. I laughed at their actions. " Lion! Run! Mommy he gonna eat us!" Taly yelled. Then Alexandria looked at the Alex. " Hi Mr. Lion." She said as she carefully and bravely came up to him. Alex sat down so he could get closer to the cub. " Hi. I'm Alex." He said. " Who are these little ones Gia?" He asked. " They are our cubs." I told him. His jaw dropped to the ground. Then he smiled. I could ell he was over joyed. " You mean, he is our dad?" Annabell asked. " Yes, darling. Why don't you go and say hi instead of being rude to your father." I told the cubs. Then both Taly and Annabell ran to Alex and all the cubs jumped on him. As they were having fun with Alex, Vitaly woke up. " Nice for you to join us Vitaly. " He looked around and sighed with sadness. " Where Is Vinisali?" I looked around. He wasn't in the room at all. The only one who were in the room were Alex, Me, The cubs, Vitaly and a sleeping black panther. " Alex, um, where is Vinisali?" I asked him. Alex looked at Vitaly and I with sadness. " He was taken by the scientist to another room. But I think he is coming for a visit today. He usually comes and visits with Luna and I." So that's the Black Panther's name. I heard the door open. Alex stood up quickly as did everyone else. The cubs hid behind Alex and I, and the panther just kept sleeping. Alex then held my hand tight. His ears were up and his eyes were alert for any danger. My heart beat fast. " Alex, who are they and why are they here?" Alex didn't answer back. This is exactly what happened before Alex was taken away. I saw two humans come in. They had two cages with them. One with a tiger cub and the other with a white lioness cub in it. The tiger cub was...Oh my! It was Vinisali! " Ok Alex and his friends, this Erik and Patricia." Ethen said. Why was he calling Vinisali Erik? I thought. As he left another one came in. " Now it is my turn." Carlos said. Then I saw something I dreaded. Dubious. This time she had a real gun. I could smell the gun powder. I guess the other human didn't notice it. As we stood there in silence, the two got closer and closer. Alex held my hand tight. I looked over to see the white lioness and Vinisali out of their cages and the first human signaling us to go towards the door and leave. Alex seemed to notice it too. Right when Dubious and the other human were about to get one foot closer, I grabbed the cubs and we all ran for the door.
Alex pulled Luna's tail so that she would wake up. When she did she ran with us. Vinisali, Patricia, and Ethen ran with us as we escaped the building. " Why did you pull my tail Alex!" Luna yelled. " To wake you up before they kill you! That's why!" Alex told yelled back. Ethen pointed the way out. Then we heard a gun shot.
Alex's POV
I turned to see who was shot." Ethen!" I yelled. I stopped and went over to him. The bullet went right through his chest. " Go...next turn...go left...door...open...bye Alex..." Then he faded into death. I cried. I heard another gun shot. "Alex!" I heard Gia yell. Next thing I knew I had a high pitch sound in my right ear. They had shot my ear. There was a straight hole right through the middle. I looked up to see Dubious and Carlos almost over to were I was with a dead Ethen. So I got up and ran back to the others and I told them what Ethen had said to go. As we neared the doors Alexandria tripped. " DADDY! MOMMY! HELP!" I ran to her and grabbed her. I held her close and not dared to let her go or loosen my grip. I heard another gun shot. As I examined everyone I saw blood dripping fom Gia. The bullet had skinned her arm. We kept running and finally got to the door. We went through it and ran to the forest that was next to the building. As we ran through the forest, I could hear more gun shots and the sound fading away as we got farther into the forest. I picked up the cubs because the got tired of running and had to keep running so that Carlos nor Dubious were to get any closer. We ran for 2 hours and fell to the ground out of exhaustion. We fell asleep after that. We were more than likely far from the two humans so why not sleep now?
Oh! This story just got longer! Tell me what you think! And I know your probably sad because Alex's friend Ethen had died. So sad..so sad...
Well hope you like!
