The Jungle Girl

Prologue

          I was staring out the window of plane listening to my music when I felt a turbulence. I clung to the arms of my seat. My name is Elecktra, unique name huh I love it, anyways I'm only 15 right now and my parents are explorers looking for new exciting adventures. I'm schooled since we travel a lot and I'm a only child for now at least. We are headed to the Jungle of Cove to see why everybody says it is oh so dangerous. I thought it was a bad idea but only because my mom is pregnant at the moment. I sighed until I heard a scream of pain I immediately shoot up from my chair and ran to my mom. She was breathing heavy trying to calm her self but then her water broke. 'Oh no' I thought I ran to my dad who was getting water for my mom. "Daddy mom she.... her..... the baby.....hurry" I couldn't the words out properly so it sounded confusing but my dad got the hint and ran to my mom. I stayed in the bathroom trying to block out her screams of pain. My dad was a doctor for a while so he delivered the baby.

            I hear nothing but screams then it was silent for a moment and then I heard it my new sibling crying. I walked out slowly and saw my mom and dad holding the baby. My mom saw me and smiled widely and gestured me to come over. I did as she told me and saw my new baby brother. I cried being so happy to see him he looked a t me and smiled. I felt my heart flutter "We almost at destination folks please have seat." the pilot announced over the intercom on the plane I took my seat and held my brother as my dad helped my mom. I was enjoying my time with him and wondered what they where going to name him. The I felt the turbulence again but it didn't stop this time I looked out the window and saw the engine blown and in flames my eyes widen as the alarm went off and my brother started crying. I looked at my dad horrified. He grabbed my arm carefully so I wouldn't drop the baby and put me in a little container or some sort of shelter. I looked at him confused he then smiled and kissed my brothers forehead and mine. "Elektra take care of him and know I will always love you." my dad said as I saw a single tear fall from his eye. My eyes widened as what he said sunk in and he shut the the door locking it. "No!" I yelled banging the door my hand started to hurt and then I heard it the last engine blew up. My brother screamed crying not knowing what was going on. I held him close ready for impact. Then it hit and I blacked out.

           I woke up hearing my brother cry nonstop. There was a slight crack and light shown through. I looked around and saw a button from the little light that I had from the crack. I pushed it not knowing what would happen then the door fell off with a 'thud' I climbed out holding my brother tightly. My eyes widened as I saw the horrible scene in front of me. I saw the plane in two and bits of pieces of it everywhere. Then I looked up and saw the trail of smoke from the plane. 'How long was out and when did he eat' I thought looking at my brother. Then I realized that I don't know where my parents are. "Mom! Dad! Where are you!"I screamed out for them but got nothing in return. I walked around the plane and stopped dead in my tracks and saw them. They were drenched in blood holding each other. I began to cry and fell to my knees holding my brother. I cried to what felt like hours then I stopped and looked at my brother who was quiet for quit some time. I saw his big green eyes staring at me then he smiled as if trying to make me feel better. 'I need to stay strong for him.....I will be strong for him, he is all have now.' I thought as one single tear came out of my eye one last time. I kissed his forehead and he giggled. I smiled and went to make a bed for him and try to find milk for him and a new diaper. I made a little bed for him out of the back rest of a seat and craved a hole to fit him into it so he can move but not fall then I filled it with some security blankets. I set him in it and put him on a seat close by to me. 

           I went to where the kitchen was in the plane and found that almost everything was in tact. I looked at the cupboards and saw that someone locked them leaving the key on the lock. 'Thanks dad I will miss you' I thought. I opened the cupboard and saw my moms diaper bag that she packed just in case she had my brother which she did but she is no longer here. I sighed and grabbed it and went to back to my brother. "Hey there-" I cut myself off and noticed he doesn't have a name yet. I thought long and hard and had an aha moment. "Your name my little one is Asher." I told him and kissed his cheek. He giggled and then he grabbed my face and I felt him kiss my cheek either that or he was hungry. I laughed and went to the diaper bag and got out his bottle. the whole bag was filled with his food but where are his diapers. I went backed to the cupboard and saw another well actually about 5 diaper bags. "Mom you where so prepared." I said quietly with a sad smiled. I pulled out one of the bags and saw the diapers and wipies. I took out the pack of wipies and a diaper and walked to Asher.  I picked him and put him on the counter of the sink in the bathroom which was surprisingly in tact as well. I wiped his bottom and private then put the diaper on him and wrapped him in the blanket. I went back and put him in his bed and made a bottle. 

           I was shaking the bottle when I heard a low growl. I turned quickly and saw a tiger hovering over my brother. The only thing I had left and I'm going to lose him. No I won't lose him not matter what I put the bottle down and ran toward the tiger. I don't know what came over me but I started to growl at the tiger. He growled back but I guess he got a bit scared from the killer glimpse in my eyes. He backed up and went around and started to sniff me I was still in my protective stance. He came close to my face and licked my face. I suddenly felt relaxed and hugged him. He started to purr and cuddle with me more. "Haha your cute......Can I name you???" I asked him. He licked my face as if saying yes. I giggled and thought for a moment. "I think I will name you Tiko." He licked me again approving his new name. I finally got to feed Asher and we both fell asleep on Tiko.

'I will be stronger and take care of them' was my last thought.
