Jane

Chapter Four

  When I woke at last after passing out, I was in a place I did not know how I had even gotten there to begin with! Who had brought me here? An ape man? This place was like a little tree fort. There was one old photo of a family hanging up on the wall.

Odds and ends of things. I look down under me. I was laying on a bed of some kind. With fur. And leafs. I sit up. A dizzy feeling washes over me.

"Well that was not fun" I mutter softly.

I hear grunting noises coming from over in a corner. The room was rather dark now. The sun was starting to set on this day. How long had I been out of it anyway?

Clayton and father surly must wonder where I am at by now. Father must be worried sick about me. I did not want him to get stressed out in anyway. I had to find my way back to camp. Quickly.

I go to climb out of this odd little bed. I notice her. She was back. Had she been the one to rescue me? I thought a man had. But I could be wrong. Everything was so fuzzy. She makes her way over to me. The gorilla who I rescued. She studied me. Like she was taking a mental picture of me. She wanders leaping over to a wall. She gets an old photo down. She sets it down beside me. I lean down to pick it up.

"Who are they?" I wonder as I gaze at the old photo. There was a family in the photo. A man. A woman. They looked so happy and in love. The woman held a small baby in her arms. He or she was adorable.

"They sure are adorable! Say did they used to be the ones who lived here?" I wonder out loud. Humans had to have made this little jungle hut.

It almost looked like someone or something had attacked it a long time ago. The momma gorilla hands me one more photo. Of the baby in the photo. I glance down at it. I was sure she was trying to tell me something about this family. But I was not sure what she was trying to tell me. Not yet.

"So sweet!" I mutter as I look at the baby's photo. My heart hammers in my chest. She must trust me to be so close to me like this now. She knew I would not do anything to hurt her.

She gets closer to my side as I studied the photo. She looks over at the photo. She takes it from me. I allow her to take her prize back. She gazes at the baby. Did this little baby mean something to her?

Maybe she knew these people that used to stay here. It could be possible. Right? Suddenly my phone rings. The battery was near death. Clayton was calling my cell phone. My phone was cracked on the screen a little. An angry look washes over the momma's gorilla's face when she is startled by my cell phone noise. She grunts as she pats her chest like she was preparing for battle.

"No no...it is alright! I won't harm you! This will not harm you! I promise!" I ramble on as I fumble to answer the call. I finally hit answer.

"Jane? Bloody hell, where have you gone off to?" Clayton demands to know as the momma gorilla is pissed off now. I fear for my life. I climb back up on the bed.

"Clayton, I don't know where I am right now!" I whisper to him so I do not upset her any further.

"What do you mean Jane? Have you gotten yourself lost?" he demands to know. "I knew this would happen! I knew you were going to be twice the work for me"

"Clayton, please listen to me. My phone is about to die on me..."

Suddenly someone or something snatches my phone from me. I turn to see who was here. Or if it was another gorilla who had joined our party. A man sits beside me. He had my phone in the palm of his hands.

He had nothing but a loin cloth covering him up. He was a bit dirty. He had that long hair covering his face. He was well built. He looked very strong. He grunts like a gorilla as he sniffs my cell phone. He licks it thinking he could eat it. Was he mad?

"Hey there...can I have that back?" I squeak out as I hold my hand out to the man for my phone.

His beautiful green blue eyes lock with my own. He studies me for a moment and not my phone.

"Jane? Jane, what is going on? Jane?" I hear Clayton complain on the other end as the ape man held my phone. My heart hammers louder in my ears. Who was this mystery man who rescued me?

"Do you live here? Is this your home?" I question the ape man softly.

No reply.

He looks at me as though I was an alien from outer space. My phone hung up. I hear beeping noises coming now the ape man jumps with surprise at the loud noise. The momma gorilla hoots with grunts of anger at the noise.

"If you give me the phone I can turn off the noise" I try to say.

Did he not speak English? Maybe he spoke another language?

I see him start to grunt back at the gorilla as though the two could understand each other. Did he speak their language? It was rather amazing to see. He got closer to the gorilla. She snatches the phone from him. She tosses it out the window.

I groan. There goes my contact with the outside world! I did have a tracking settings on my phone. Clayton could have tracked me here. Now there was no chance of that happening. I was doomed.

"Oh no! No! No! No!" I gasp as I walk over to the window in time to see my cell phone flying about the air tumbling all the way to the ground. I cover my face with my hand. I groan. There goes my phone. I just gotten the new iPhone to. I saved up for months for that thing. It was rose gold in all.

"I have to be going now. Thank you for saving me. It was nice to meet you all" I stammer to the ape man and the gorilla. I spot the door over in the far corner. I was going to make a run for it if I had the chance.

The ape man steps in front of me. He is checking me out curiously now. He did not walk like you and I. He walked like a well....gorilla. On his hands and feet. He could walk if he wanted to. What was wrong with this man? Maybe he had gotten lost out here in the jungle.

For so long being lost caused his mind to go bonkers. Maybe he thought he was a gorilla! It could happen right? The ape man comes closer to me. Sniffing me as an animal would do. I brace myself. Wincing not knowing what might happen. I only hoped he was not going to hurt me. He touches my hair.

"Hi there" I stammer trying not to show fear.

"No?" he speaks up.

"No what?" I laugh.

"No?" he repeats a word he heard me speak as though he was a parrot.

"Do you speak any English?" I ask.

"No"

"What is your name?" I ask.

"No"

"No"

I sigh. So he did not speak English. And he learned one word. No.

He touches my shirt. Looking in my eyes so curiously as though he was trying to figure out a puzzle. He did not touch my breasts. His shaky hand roams to my shoulder.  Had he any human contact at all? I could not help but wonder about that.

"No?" he asks me as he places one finger on my chest. Was he trying to figure out my name? Maybe he assumed my name was no. I giggle at the thought.

"Jane, I am Jane. Jane..." I repeat myself to him hoping he would get it.

He does not say another word. Still locking his gaze on me. He was amazed by something. The momma gorilla makes her way over to him. She hands me the photo of the baby again. She looks over at the ape man. Then the photo. I was starting to get the hint here. Something happened to the ape man's family. She had raised him. She was here protecting him from me. I was sure of it.

I look over at the wall. I notice many claw marks on the walls. Like an animal had attacked it here a long time ago. What had went down here? Had a wild animal killed his parents? Leaving the gorilla to raise him as her own?

"Is this your baby?" I ask the gorilla. She locks her gaze with me. Not saying one word. As though in our hearts we understood a yes answer.

"Is this you? Are you this baby?" I ask the ape man as I point to the photo.

"Baby?" I question him once more.

"Baby" he speaks up as he points to himself.

He had been the baby. He was raised by gorillas here. I was sure of it.

He was amazing.

"Can you get me back home?" I ask him hoping he could get me back to my father and Clayton. If I could get him to my father we could help this ape man get back into the real world where he belonged.

"Home..." I repeat to him.

"Tarzan"

"What?" I stammer.

"Ta..rzan" he speaks up.

"Is your name Tarzan?" I question him. He looks at me quizzically.

He says nothing.

"Tarzan...my name is Jane. I need your help to get back home. My father will be worried about me. Can you help me Tarzan? I would be so grateful if you would" I reply trying to get this ape man to be on my side of things.

"Jane?" he asks me at last. I laugh with joy that he understood me.

"Yes! Jane!" I laugh. "Jane needs to go home. Jane...home"

I had to try one more time.

He does not say a word. He gets a little closer to me. He was so interested in me. Had he never saw a woman before? I wonder what he would do if he had saw Taylor Swift? I nearly giggle at that concept.

Without warning like a true caveman he pulls me in his embrace. My hand lands on his bare chest. My eyes grow wider. His lips claim mine hungrily. Exploring me. I grow weak with pleasure bursting inside of me.

No man ever touched me in such a way. Not even Clayton. His kisses never once brought me to become weak in the knees. I had to stop this. Before things went too far. I was a virgin. I did not know if this ape man was or not...but I did not want to be raped.

I try to pull away. My attempts were weak. His tongue forces into the entrance of my mouth until it circles with my own. My lips give themselves away as I find myself returning each kiss. I found it hard to breathe as he nearly crushed my body to his own.

"Tarzan...no. I can't do this! I am engaged to be married. To another man" I warn him as I go to pull away. "I need to go home"

"Jane" he repeats my name huskily. He was breathless from kissing me.

"Jane go home..." I demand to him sternly.

He looks at me. Not saying one word.

The momma gorilla grunts a noise suddenly. Other animals were making a cracket outside of the little hut now. A gun shot rings out! For some reason. Tarzan's ears perk up at hearing the sound. As the gorilla leaves the place, Tarzan leaves me as well.

"TARZAN! Please! Do not leave me here!" I call back to him with fear controlling me.

I look out the window to see if I could spot him. He was gone. I wondered, did I dare try to leave this place on my own? I look down. I gasp. It was a far way down. I would fall to my death if I tried to escape. I was stuck here!
