Love, trust and more love
Chapter 2
"I mean, I was shocked at first, but then I had to confess I loved him too because I did and that was what really mattered. We both loved each other and that is the best thing about our relationship.
Love.
Trust.
And more love."
`Flashback`
"This circus is absolutely amazing" he thought as he crouched low, on the thin, metal stabiliser. Alex had been there most of the day, watching The Nightmare Circus crew send off the last of their audience members with a cheery grin. "Time to go eat" he quietly said aloud to himself. Alex stood up on the beam, revealing he had neither shoes nor any socks. He turned slowly to clamber back down the conveniently placed net rigging. Yet, as he turned, he sensed another presence behind him. But who`d be stupid or brave enough to follow him up there.
Before Alex, stood The King of Beasts. Mariku was a 6ft half lion, half human. He had a startling mane of sandy coloured hair, which complemented his dark purple eyes and slightly tanned skin. He had retractable claws on both his hands and feet. His canines, slightly enlarged, were as sharp as said claws and they emphasized a powerful jaw that could separate a man from his arm in seconds. This all added to the effect of a seriously strong person, be him human or not.
Said strong person was slowly approaching Alex, with a strong sense of awareness. He then did what Alex did not expect him to do. The large feline launched himself at Alex, which caused him to slip of the stabiliser, tumble to the ground, which in turn crushed his shoulder blade and ribs with such a force that it broke it in two separate places.
Alex then slipped into a bout of unconsciousness, which was quickly shortened by a nasty kick that was placed into Alex's now severely bruised ribs. Alex woke to find a black boot had been placed on his chest. He looked up into the cold, grey eyes of Akefia, the circus`s Ringleader.
Alex looked around and saw the other circus members crowded around him. He growled quietly, which earned him an even scarier look than the one Akefia had been modelling before.
"Could you get off me," Alex asked, before quickly adding, "Please?"
"Why should I?" was the answer he got back. Akefia then comically snapped his fingers whilst calling to Bakura, The Knifethrower. Bakura raised his hand ever so slightly, revealing a small, black cylinder with an even smaller button on top.
Bakura pressed the button lightly. Alex was unconscious in less than 10 seconds.
