Jane

Chapter Seventeen

"Yes, Mr. Clayton sir I have her right here! Yes, she let the gorilla go! Catch her again? Oh sir I don't know if that thing will let us catch her a second time. She is a dangerous beast. She hates us. I bet you she will kills us if she sees us again" worries one of Clayton's goons.

My eyes slowly flutter open. I was trapped. My hands were tied behind my back to the chair. I struggle to get my hands free while the guard was chatting with Clayton.

"You are on the way here now? Good thing boss. Want to talk to your little bride to be?" offers the guard. "Alright sir....Jane? The phone is for you" the man demands as he holds the phone up to Jane's ear.

"Well well well Jane dear. I better give you proper credit where credit is due eh? Double crossing me like this..I mean did you really think you were going to get away with this Jane dear?" laughs Clayton on the other line. I wince as I am forced to listen to his voice.

"Jane I am nearly there now. I am going to take you home. And by the way Jane. Just because the monkey is free does not mean I will not make you marry me. Oh I plan on it. You will marry me. In fact as soon as we land back home I have a wedding planned for us" he chuckles.

"Clayton I will NEVER marry you! You got what you wanted. I broke up with Tarzan. He hates me. Can't you leave things at that?" I snap bitterly.

"Never say never, Jane dear" he chuckles. "You were meant to be my bride. You will be mine" he declared before the phone hangs up.

I struggle to get free. Tears come to me. I lost Tarzan. Now I was going to be forced to marry a man I did not love! He might kidnap me and take me someplace where I would never see Tarzan or my father ever again!

He was that kind of evil. I was sure of it. My only hope was to get myself free from here. My wrists began to swell a little as I tugged on the rope desperate to be free. I soon spot a gorilla peering in the window at me.

"Is that Kayla?" questions the guard.

I did not say a word. The gorilla was smaller than Kayla. Younger to. It could be Turk. I was not going to give names away to this dead beat. No way. My lips were zipped.

Tight. I shake my head. I struggle to free myself while he was distracted by Turk. The more I looked over at the gorilla I was sure it was Turk.

Memories of Tarzan wrestling with the gorilla back at camp flashed in my mind right then.

"Shoo...shoo! Do you hear me? Buzz off! Dumb little creatures they are" the man grumbles as he goes closer to the gorilla but not close enough to touch Turk. He was scared of Turk it looked like!

Suddenly I hear it.

An elephant blows its loud trumpet sound. Tantor was near! I gasp. Was Tarzan here? Had he come for me? Hope surges in my heart as excitement flows through me. I look to see what was going to happen next. Maybe there was a chance I was not going to have to marry that awful Clayton!

"What the hell?!" mutters the guard as he goes to check to see what the commotion was outside the door.

Right be before he opens the door Tantor tares down the weak wooden door. I brace myself closing my eyes as timber wood shatters all about us. Tantor blows an angry sound right in the guard's shocked face.

"Now let's all calm down

shall we? I was only following orders here" stammers the man.

Tantor begins to chase the man about the room. Wrecking the place. I could not help but smile at the sight. Turk makes her way over to me. She checks out the chair I was strapped to as though she were trying to help me get free as I helped Kayla be freed.

"Call this thing off me! Call it off!" hoots the man as he runs from Tantor.

"Sorry, Tantor only listens to Tarzan. He is not here" I giggle.

The man is chased right into the messy, stinky cage that once held Kayla captive. I was almost free. Turk pulls and yanks on the rope trying her best to help me. Bless her she could not figure out how to free me!

"Let me out of here! Do you hear me? You will all be sorry once Clayton gets here!" warns the guard as he shakes his fist.

Tantor blows his trunk hooting a angry noise in the man's face. The man backs up and slips on gorilla poo. He lands right in it face first. I giggle as I could see from the window.

Suddenly Turk manages to get my hands a little loose. Loose enough I could free myself. Once my hands were untied I did my feet next. I rub my sore wrists.

"Thank you all! Thank you!" I tell Turk and

Tantor as I make my way outside. I go to look for my piolet. He was clunked out. They hurt him! I was stuck here! I gasp. How was I going to get back home?

"Jane! You little w***e! Where is she at?" I hear Clayton call out. He just landed on the island. Holy s**t!

Suddenly Tantor picks me up and places me on his back.

"Jane I see you! Get off that elephant this moment! You will be sorry Jane!" he warns me as he yells with anger. He shakes his fist at me.

"Run, Tantor! Run!" I demand praying that Tantor understood me.

Tantor thankfully takes off running once Clayton shoots a gun. That man was plumb crazy! He was going to kill someone! He might kill me!!

"Go Tantor! Loose that crazy man!" I demand out loud. I hold onto to Tantor for dear life as we head into the jungle.

Where was my father at when I needed him? Where was Tarzan? His father? Anyone! I was scared I was going to die out here and no one was going to know about it. I was crazy enough to come out here. It was all my own fault. But I had to save Kayla.

"Come back here Jane!" calls out Clayton. He hopped on a motor bike.

He was chasing us at full speed. I have to duck a few branches as we run in the jungle. Clayton was trying to drive as he shot our way! My heart races faster. I never had been more scared in all my days!

Suddenly another shot rings out. I was hit. My shoulder! I fall down tumbling to the ground in pain. I fall right on my left side.

Tantor takes off being scared the poor animal. I wince as blood gushes from my shoulder. This was it. I was going to die out here. No one was going to find me alive. I wince as I close my eyes gasping in pain and fear.

"Well Jane dear, you chose wrong when you chose to run" he chuckles as he parks his bike.

"You will not get away with this Clayton! My father will worry he will come looking for me!" I warn him.

"Poor silly girl. He will find out a savage gorilla killed you after you tried to free them. That is the story he will hear from me when I bring your lifeless dead body home to him!" chuckles Clayton as he gets ready to finish off his job.

Dear lord this could not be the end....could it?
