"Of course, we would run into trouble. Before we could get near the southern gate.", Xavier said
"Shush! Xavier, all we need to do is slip past a clown.", Sapphire said
"Easy for you to say.", Xavier said
"Xavier, there is only one clown.", Sapphire explained
"So...", Xavier said
"Are you getting more idiotic by the minute?", Sapphire asked
"Probably.", Xavier replied
"Glad you agree...", Sapphire said sarcastically
"So got any bright ideas?", Xavier questioned
"Yeah!", Sapphire said
"What?", Xavier replied
"Ra da da da da da da circus, ra da da da da da afro, cir...", The Clown was singing until he saw Xavier bolting for the Southern Gate.
"Hold on there Lion!", The Clown said as he grabbed his net
"NO! Not the net!", Xavier said as he continued to bolt in circus avoiding the net.
"Wow, he does have a lot of stamina.", Sapphire said flabbergasted by Xavier
"Huff huff huff, no fair, huff huff. Why do they keep guards down here to watch and keep up with animals?", The Clown said. Xavier shrugged his shoulders.
"Know what Lion. I quit!", The Clown said as he grabbed his net broke it in half and left.
"That was much easier than I thought.", Sapphire said
"Want to escape?", Xavier asked
"You bet!", Sapphire shouted as they pushed the left gate open and left for the outside world.
"Xavier, are we near your train yet?", Sapphire asked
"Yeah, about a few more yards!", Xavier said
"I cannot believe it!", Sapphire shouted
"I know, its all over!", Xavier shouted
"We escaped! I am no longer apart of that evil circus!", Sapphire said
"WAIT!", Xavier said as he stopped at a dead halt leaving Sapphire pondering what happened.
"What happened Xavier?", Sapphire questioned
"There are traps surrounding the Circus.", Xavier said
"What? I don't see any.", Sapphire exclaimed
"There is!", Xavier said
"How do you know?", Sapphire said
"I just do.", Xavier said
"This is stopping our Great Escape and giving Circo Stupore a chance to do the Great Catch.", Sapphire said
"Sapphire, there are trip wires, pitfalls, and net springing traps, everywhere.", Xavier explained
"And you see them?", Sapphire said looking around for the traps.
"Yep!", Xavier said as he knelt down and activated one of the trip wires that sprung a net to life. That would have engulfed its prey.
"Wow, good eye. How about you led me through all the traps?", Sapphire asked
"Fine, but follow my commands, unless you want to swallowed by a net.", Xavier said
"Why do you think they have these here?", Sapphire said
"To capture my parents of course.", Xavier said
"Oh yeah, for that crazy lady...", Sapphire said
"Yep.", Xavier replied
"Duck under this tripwire.", Xavier said as he dunked
"Okay", Sapphire said as she dunked under a tripwire.
"Good, seems like there are no more", Xavier said as he got up and stretched.
"That was easy.", Sapphire said as she walked forward and got captured by a pitfall, which drove Xavier in as well.
"Easy?", Xavier said sarcastically
"Hehe", Sapphire said nervously
"We've got them again boss.", John said
"Again?", Joe said as he waddled over to John
"Yep.", John said
"Oh its the same Liguar from before and it looks like he brought our Sapphire along with him.", Joe said
"This is the second time he has escaped.", John said
"I know, this one hates cages.", Joe said
"We will leave you here, while we go get your parents. Okay!", Joe said as he waddled away while John following.
"Welp, looks like we failed again.", Xavier said laying back and waiting for the future to set in.
"You give up to quickly.", Sapphire said as she got up and attempted to climb out but the hole was to deep.
"How are we going to get out of here?", Sapphire asked
"We probably won't.", Xavier said
"Help!", Sapphire shouted; which sounded like a huge roar to the humans.
"You guys are coming with us.", The Clown said grabbing both in a net and taking them off to Circo Stupore.
"Huh! That sounds like a Lion cub!", Gia said
"I know...", Alex said walking over to Gia
"Do you think we should help?", Gia asked
"...No", Alex said as he walked over to a chair and sat down.
"ALEX!" Gia screamed "Get up and get outside.", Gia demanded
"What did you say women?", Alex said sounding like his father
"I said go outside and find your son!", Gia said
"Hey father, mother are you home?", asked Xavier. Then out of the blue Xavier was getting bear hugged, by his mother Gia. "It's Xavier Alex! I thought I wouldn't see you again!", said a overly excited Gia who was kept kissing Xavier. Gia still has the scar on her eye. (The scar kinda looks like the one on Scar from Lion King. Only Gia's is deeper and longer.) "What is going on? I don't understand. Mom care to explain?", questioned Xavier as his speech was muffled by Gia "You don't know?", asked Alex who stood up from a table in the corner of the room. "Not really, I am confused", said Xavier "Hun, you were taken away by poachers. We thought we would never see you again!", said Gia starting to whimper "Yeah, it was a tragic day. They came out of no where, and took Vitaly's and Ruta's kids, Marty's and Anastasia's daughter, you and your brother and sister, and Gloria's daughter. Ever since then it's been very depressing around here.", explained Alex "I have siblings? I thought I was an only child?", asked a astonished Xavier "Yeah, you don't remember your own siblings?", asked Gia "I didn't know I had any. What are their names?", asked Xavier "Your brother's name is Niccolo' and your sisters name is Rosa. Are you okay Xavier? Got any bumps on your head?", asked Alex "No, I am fine. Why do my siblings get awesome names and I get Alex Jr?", asked Xavier "You need your rest hun.", said Gia "What? Oh, no I am fine. said Xavier "Apparently not.", said Alex "Why you say that father?", asked Xavier "Because you're making this weird comments. You don't know you had siblings even though all three of you are triplets. You think I named you Alex Jr, when I named you Damiano but you prefer to be called Xavier; for what ever reason.", said Alex "I am confused, maybe I do need my rest. I am going for a walk. I'll be back soon", said Xavier "No hun, stay. It's dangerous out there.", said Gia "Your mother is right Xavier. Those poachers are probably trying to find you, since you escaped. Since I brought that up, how did you escape", said Alex "Um, I didn't know I was captured", said Xavier "What, are you even my son?", questioned Alex "Dad, I am your son. I look like you and my mother", said Xavier "Alex, the event must've been too frightful. He must have blocked it out of his mind.", said Gia trying to reason with Alex "Suppose so. Xavier get some sleep and try to remember. We could use the information to get back everyones children.", said Alex "Yeah since you mentioned that, who took the all of the children around here?", asked Xavier "Poachers, that go by the name Circus Stupore", said Gia "Why would a circus take circus children", asked Xavier Alex's fist hit the table, and Alex yells,"Because they are jealous! Our circus is better, so they want the next generation of our circus so their circus could be better than ours". "If you know their names, couldn't you just find where they are doing their next act and ambush them there.", question Xavier "That sounds like a decent plan", said Alex starting to feel better "But no one is motivated enough to even go through with the plan", said Alex as he slams his head against the table. "Motivate them father. You gave the speech "Fur Power" to Circus Zaragoza so they would be motivated enough. You could do the same again!", said Xavier "I ca... can't do it", said Alex "Why not dad, you use to be fearless. You were and are the leader of Circus Zaragoza. Take lead of your circus, and get your children back.", said Xavier trying to persuade Alex "Listen to your son Alex. We can't let Circo Stupore claim our children and everyone else's", said Gia "I can't, sorry", said Alex. All they heard was a door slam. Gia looked out the train window as Xavier was standing in the center of the field where the trains stand. "Attention, everyone! Come around, come around", said Xavier "Xavier, is it really you?", said Vitaly as he approaches "Ma ma mia, itsa Xavier", said Stephano "How did you get away from Circo Stupore?", asked Gloria "Do you know where our children are?", asked Ruta "I am sorry everyone, I don't recall getting taken.", said Xavier "Of course", said Vitaly "We will never see our children again", said Ruta "Guys, we still have Xavier. There must be a reason why he brought us all here", said Katelynn "Thank you Katelynn", said Xavier "No problem", said Katelynn "Everyone I have a plan to get the children back!", said Xavier "Go on", said Vitaly "Since Circo Stupore is a circus they must preform, correct", said Xavier "Yes", said Ruta "They must have a route they are taking", said Xavier "So you want us to find the route, meet them at their performance and smuggle our children back", said Vitaly "Exactly", said Xavier "Nonsense, just like your father when I first met him.", said Vitaly "Vitaly do you want to see your children again or not", questioned Xavier "Of course I do, but going through a circus filled with animals that hate us, and humans doesn't sound easy.", said Vitaly "Of course humans", said Xavier "Yeah, those monstrosities make it impossible for us to claim our children", said Vitaly "I am sorry Xavier but going through this plan would be impossible", said Ruta "I think it would work", said Katelynn "Katelynn", said Stephano "Guys, Xavier is right. We need to get our children back, and we might as well do it now. Even if Circo Stupore catches us at least we gave an attempt to make our family whole again!", said Katelynn "Yeah but what if they kill us", said Vitaly "Kill us, or catch us. Sounds about the same to me. Either way our future presents itself we should still attempt", said Katelynn "I agree, walking around here depressed isn't going to help anyone.", said Xavier "I also agree, we need to reunite our family even if it kills us", said Stephano "Are you guys serious?", questioned Vitaly "Vitaly, without the children this place is going down in the dump", said Ruta "Ruta", said Vitaly sadden by his mates words "We need to try!", said Ruta "Fine, I will try", said Vitaly "It settles it then, we attempt to get the children back. Do or die", said Xavier "We agree", said Gia and Alex "Mother, father", said Xavier with tears starting to form in his eyes "Do or die", said Alex. Xavier runs over to Alex and hugs him "Thank you", said Xavier "Starting tomorrow, we are going to do planning on invading Circo Stupore's next performance. For tonight get your rest.", said Alex "Now that is the Alex I know", said Gia "It only took some motivation", said Alex as he pecked Gia "Lets get some sleep", said Gia "Um, where do I sleep again", asked Xavier "Haha, still don't remember. You sleep in the train cart before ours. That is you and your siblings cart", said Alex while laughing "Thanks, I will be in there soon. I need to confirm something first", said Xavier "Okay but don't be out too late. Poachers come out during this time", said Alex "Okay, good night father and mother", said Xavier "Good night hun", said Gia Xavier quickly runs behind the carts to find past Alex "Alex, Alex. Alex are you there?", said Xavier. There was no response. "Dad are you there", said Xavier. Xavier thinks about what could have happened, and sits down on the log where Alex sat. The log had a net around it, and all of the sudden it sprang to life taking Xavier "What is going on", said Xavier "Another Liguar", said a clown looking fellow "Must be the one who escaped", said a official looking fellow "It looks petrified", said the clown "Good, put it in the trunk. We leave for Brazil soon.", said the official looking fellow
This is the end of Alex into the Future! I hope you liked the chapter and I hope you catch on to what the ending is. Anyone who has read my whole story would understand this ending. This does not relate to any of my newer stories. This is only meant to be a short story that was going to last a short while to improve my writing skills. In which it has. I went from writing chapters with 900 words; with low vocabulary to writing chapters with 1900-2500 words with pretty decent vocabulary. Exception of this chapter because this is the ending and endings never last long.
I want to thank you for reading this long. Please leave a review about this story or any future ideas you may have! Thank you!
