Jungle Girl

65

Ted is very protective over me and I can see he is getting anxious by the second as my arms are giving out from the force Joey is using against me

Suddenly I see Ted run over to us and baboons see this as so many run at him and start tearing him apart "NO!" I shout as we watch as he is being slaughtered by bamboos and I feel the rage and pain inside of me as he falls to the floor bleeding not moving...

I look back at Joey seeing that he saw what happened but continues to try and kill me but with all my strength and fire in my eyes my grip on his jaw tightens and I start pulling is mouth open even more then it was, Joey knows what I am doing so he tries to stop me by closing his mouth but I put everything I have into this and shake from the power I am using and start growl that turns into a scream of strength before ripping his jaw apart braking it

I then use his bottom jaw and stab it through his brain by pushing it up into his skull killing him instantly making his body fall on top of me as I push it off and crawl over to Ted who is struggling to breath "Ted" I say with a broken tone and look on my face

I get to him as I stroke his fur as he looks at me seeing he is trying to move but can't as he is in to much pain like me but I ignore the pain as I try to comfort Ted "it's going to okay" I speak softly as I brush this head as he whimpers at me as I feel tears blurring my vision "you're going to be okay" I speak again as he whines at me

I lean down to him as my breathing becomes uneven as I see him slowly closing his eyes "no... No no no Ted please stay awake" I say but he closes his eyes...

"Ted?" I add as he stops breathing...

...

Silence was all that is to be heard as the wind blows as I release a small breath before inhaling again but it was shaky as I know... I have lost him...

"T-ted" I lay my head into his chest as I feel my tear ball out of my eyes one straight after the other as I cry quietly into his still warm coat I then feel a hand on my back but I ignore it as they rub my comforting me but I lift my head and I feel the anger and pain inside of me and I look up at the baboons as they watch me

"Ahhhhh!" I roar loudly making kitty lay down and roll on his back submitting as so do the bamboos one after the other as bird fly away as my roar echos through the Eastside of the jungle meaning I am the new king

They only kill Ted because the was going to interrupt the ritual witch isn't allowed as the punishment is death...

I never even got to make him that new back scratcher...

"Ted" I say as I get closer and lift his head into my lap as kitty gets up slowly and walks over to us and sits down next to us and looks down at Ted and sniffs him before nudging him with his nose with a little whimper before looking up at me so I look at him

"H-he's g-gone" I tell him and he lets out a loud sad cry like lions do when they lose a pack member as Ted was family to us and his cry echos through the ruins as the girls come over and sit down around Ted and me silently as Lauren is behind me rubbing my back trying her best to comfort me as she looks at Ted with a sad look and I can the tears in her eyes as well as the girls and kitty

We all sit here quietly not speaking a word as I just hold him in my arms on my lap crying as I have lost one of my family members

He is like a parent to me like a dad I never had... Now I don't have one... He's gone... Forever... Fuck...

"I'm so sorry" I hear Lauren say softly to me making me look up at her with a broken look and she sees this and frowns before pulling me into a very much needed hug

After dwelling over Ted's death the girls and got me a few things so we can say goodbye to Ted and I know Ted wanted to be burned after he dies so that we we are doing

He is on top of a pile of dead leafs and some wood and Camila has made a little fire next to us while Dinah has made a wooden stick with some dead leaves and sap on one end as we can use that as a torch to set Ted's wooden bed alight

Dinah walks over to me as I am in the place I have been sat in for the passed hours I'm not sure how long I have been sat here but I don't care anymore... I don't care about anything at the moment

"Here" Dinah says handing me the torch she made so I look at it and take it off of her as the rest of the girls are standing around Ted as I asked to be alone for a while

I stand up still in pain I haven't even bothered to patch myself up yet but again... I don't care... I lost Ted... I lost my fluffy brown sugar coated teddy bear... Forever...

I slowly make my way towards yes and the girls hear me and Dinah and look at us but I don't look at them as I stand next to the fire
