Alright people here it is chapter 10! I know it was a bit late but it was the start of summer and I had to force my self off my lazy butt to be here so here I am! But enough chatting let us get on with da show!

Volcane and Alex looked into the fire as Frost snored in there tent. The day had been fun with Volcane and Frost flying around while Alex hung on to Volcane's back. By the time they were done Volcane was exhausted but she recovered quickly as she always had. So they sat near there fire to energized to fall asleep.

"Come on Alex. Let's not waste this night away sitting near a fire! Lets take a walk in the woods." Volcane said.

"I don't know Volcane…There might be some dangerous things in there." Alex said.

"Hey if Frost can go in there and hunt then I think we can take a small walk in there." Volcane chuckled. Alex smiled and got up.

"Fine you win…But we can not go to deep in the forest." Alex said.

"Alright!" Volcane said popping up. She and Alex walked into the forest and they both continued walking in silence for a bit enjoying nature when Alex spoke up.

"So…how was the village life like when Me and Slarger left?" Alex asked.

"It was difficult. Jolt got really depressed and Voltaire got very angry. He threw many people in jail for no good reason and everyone was talking about it. Me and Frost continued inventing but it lost allot of it's charm without you…" Volcane said sadly but then something brought a creepy smile to her face. "Oh and… the Escala Despedaçador escaped the zoo." She said. Alex stopped and looked at her with a scared expression. "You have got to be kidding me."

"Nope. He escaped three days before your party came over. They say he escaped into these very woods themselves!" She said smiling at her frightened reaction. Alex was looking around for any sign of it. The Escala Despedacador was the dragon's only natural predator in the realms. It was a bear like creature except it paws could swipe out scales very easily and it's teeth could crack bones with just a twitch. It was a very dangerous creature and Alex had a very bad experience with one. He once fell in it's pit and he had to fight it off until the dragons could rescue him. He barely escaped with his life but was teased by it seeing as at the time it was only the size of a hatchling but so was he. Alex suddenly noticed Volcane was gone. He looked around but could not find her anywhere.

"Volcane! This is not funny! Come out now!" Alex yelled his voice shaking a little. She still did not show up and he strayed from the main path and went into the darker part of the forest. He looked around scared when he heard a crunch. He spun around but saw no one. He turned around again and jumped and yelled when he saw Volcane right in front of him. He landed on his back and he glared at her. "Volcane not funny!" He said.

"Yes it was! Did you see your face? Priceless!" She said laughing. He blushed and looked away. He then noticed something moving.

"Volcane! I think I saw something!" Alex whispered. Volcane shook her head.

"Alex you know how much of a chance Escala is here right now?" Volcane said but she whimpered when she heard a primal roar rip through the forest. Alex looked at her.

"Can we leave now?" Alex asked in a panicked voice. Volcane nodded and were about to run before an Escala ripped two trees from in front of them. Alex almost fainted when he heard a familiar voice inside his head.

"Finally a fight! Let me at em!" Eichi yelled. Alex groaned. He though he had finally left his body. Escala continued to advanced on Alex but he did not move because he was talking to Eichi. Volcane looked at him worriedly but she was to scared to do anything.

"Come on Alex! Let me fight! I could take this thing!" Eichi yelled. Alex shook his head.

"You can't!"

"What have you got to lose?" Eichi asked. By this time Escala had grabbed Alex by the neck. Volcane growled but she could barely do anything else. She had to try something before she lost her friend again…this time it would be permanent.

Ember, Cynder, Glaicer and the others waited in the main room. Volteer was fuming over their entire situation. Zadona was in the bathroom allot and the others were discussing a plan.

"Why can't we just kill the guards?" Glaicer asked frustrated that they were getting no where.

"Glaicer they are just doing there jobs we can not kill them because of that." Cynder said. Glaicer just sighed.

"I know…but there is no way to go out." Glaicer said sadly. Everyone looked at her sadly. She had the most on the lines on the escape. If she didn't Alex could die.

"Alright they are still dragons not robots there must be some way to turn them to our side!" Ember said.

"Bribe?" Flame suggested.

"With what? There is nothing here great value." Ember said coldly. Flame just looked away from her.

"Stop it. This is not going to help! We need a plan to get us out!" Glacier yelled. Suddenly Volteer joined in the argument.

"Children I think I may have a way. I bet I could stir up something that could make the guards pass out. After-" He stopped when he heard a scream from the bathroom. All of them looked shocked as Zadona stumbled out of the bathroom, a frightened expression on her face. She looked at all of them but her gaze ended on Flame.

"Flame…I'm pregnant"

Flame looked at her in horror and then collapsed. Ember roared and blew flames everywhere. Smoke filled the cabins and by the time Glaicer put out the fires all that was left was a broken windows and the guards all laying on the ground knocked out. Everyone looked at Zadona and Volteer spoke.

"Or we could run now…" Volteer said absentmindedly. But no one did and they would all deeply regret it later.

Holo Alex and Flamila walked around the dark carnival.

"Man this place is creepy at night…" Flamila said. Holo Alex sniggered and she rolled her eyes.

"Immature brat…" She muttered as she walked on trying to find any hints on where there masters were. As she checked almost every tent in the place Holo Alex checked the circus masters tent. He almost screamed when he saw the body hanging by the rope. He exited the tent and Flamila was outside. She tried to get in but Holo Alex looked at her.

"What?" Flamila asked.

"You don't want to go in there." Holo Alex said. He did not want Flamila to see what he did.

"You might have missed something now don't make me go through you." Flamila said determined to get in.

"Flamila! Trust me there is nothing in there you want to see!" Holo Alex yelled a bit of anger in his voice. Flamila looked at him and backed off. "I'm sorry but…there is nothing in there you want to see." Holo Alex said softly. She nodded.

"Alright. I trust you on that. Now come on there are other places we have to check out." Flamila said walking off. He was about to follow when he spotted something shiny near the master's tent. He walked over.

"Hey Flamila! Come check this out!" Holo Alex yelled. She walked over and picked it up.

"Looks like a syringe…and there is a liquid inside it to. I don't know what it is but there is a scanner at Volcane's home! Come on!" Flamila said excited at finding a possible clue to where Volcane was. Holo Alex was just as excited but did not show it as easily. They were running towards the entrance when they heard a scream nearby. As they were made by good hearted people they had to go and look who it was. They ran through the tents and they entered an empty space in the carnival and what they found shocked them. Silver had her foot on Ember's head who was crying. Holo Alex shushed Flamila. They could do nothing about it so it would be better to spy on them. She then crouched and waited watching the terrible situation play it self out.

Once again I apologize for the wait! I hope you Review! Thank you!
