RYLIES POV

I rolled my eyes at the fight Rose and jerk off whats his name is are having . I mean .. yeah a tiger went into my tent. But he didnt hurt me . He or she I havent asked .

" Um.. what is the gender of the tiger ?"I said to Rose who was curently washing a baby lion .. we had found it and I knew that Rose was going to keep it either way but she was teaching it to hunt its really funny to watch . The baby jumping rolling and extending her claws .

" Its a boy , Beautiful isnt he ?" sh said . I nodded .

" I didnt really see him .. I kind just noticed something was sniffing my hair and I woke up . "

" It likes you !" she smiled . I narrowd my eyes .

" In which way do you mean?"

" If you think im saying to eat .. Im not .. like he doesnt think your much of a threat ." I nodded .

" SO .. umm are you gonna name your little friend?"

"As of right now ... nope .. what could I name a white male tiger with out sounding stupid ?"

"You are stupid either way ." the jerk said . I frowned .

" Thanks .. but I wasnt asking you now was I ?" He chcukled .

" Yeahh sure what ever. You're just a kid, you know nothing of the animal world ."

" I do and I know for a fact that tiger wasnt going to hurt Rylie ."

" I have to argue that ."

" Quit arguing with me and listen." Rose said picking up the little lion and carrying it to her tent . And stormed off .

" You are a bit of a jerk ." I said and walked to the edge of camp and sat there.

I sat there thinking to myself of why the white tiger was anywhere near this camp . Tigers are curious creatures but I worry that this tiger wasn't even weary of this camp . I would be a million miles from this camp . Just because the people here are messed up and rude .

I watched as gazelle ran from one side to the other. And calmly go back to eating . I was going to be here for a good long year . And if the university wants us to stay and do documentrys thats what we had to do . And we were the best with animals . Rose was a calm and gentle girl who can get any nice side of an animal hands down . She understands behaviors , and knew their weakness . Even If she wasn't taught them . She was just an animal whisperer.

And Jim the jerk was a hunter . Not a poacher because Rose would poach him . But he was good at shooting and killing. He isn't really into animals like Rose but he knew when a animal is aggressive and or calm . really that's all he was trained for . He was a cruel man in general . When he found a meerkat he shot it and I was shocked he could just shoot it . But I didn't tell Rose because Jim had me intimidated and he knew it . He does scare me . But I am not ever gonna say it to his face .

Then there's me . Rylie . I take the pictures and document . So half my time is outside alone documenting animals . And today I start . And what better way than to film at the water hole . Many Animals go there and I could pin point a certain angry loin or a calm badger or a raging bull . I was relaxing before I stress about getting murdered by an animal. I knew I was suppose to bring Jim . But who wants a downer around beautiful animals and scaring them with his loud movements .

" Hey Rylie . " Rose said sitting next to me with the little lion who was sitting contently in her arms .

" Hello Rose , plan on going anywhere today?" I asked her she smiled and pushed some of her gold brown locks away from her face.

" Going to check out the small forest over there . Care to come?" She said .

" No , I have to film that watering hole. I think a lot of animals travel there at this time .

" Please be careful . Because we both know Jim is going with me ... Although he can shove that gun up his own ." she smiled . I laughed

" I know.. Yeah I'll be fine . " I smiled.

ECHOS POV

I was bored out of my mind. I want to go back . Currently Tyra and Angel , who is a boy are currently drinking water and talking. Angel is a leopard with attitude , who isn't afraid to attack. He is not really touchy feely either . He doesn't mind wrestle but like hugs or close contact he freaks out . Something happened when he was a cub and been that way since. But who am I to judge?

I laid there waiting for the sun to hit where I was laying just so I could be warm but it wasn't happening .

You seem tense Echo. Angel said. I huffed and looked over to them.

Kinda , just thinking.

What about? Tyra deadpanned to me .

Oh things you wouldn't approve of

I said with mockiness.

Don't push my buttons... Are you thinking of humans? Because your scent s different ....

She said.

Yeah little off.

Angel said. Licking his paw . I growled.

No need to worry ...

I said. They finally let it alone .

But all to soon a different familair scent filled the air  Causing Tyra and Angel to tense up.

Humans.

I rolled  my eyes as they ran off. I stayed to see if the interesting smelling one was coming. I felt excited when it was.

I saw he set up his weird and excotic things up and I saw he held something around his neck. What was that?

I watched as he smiled and stood still , trusting him a little . I don't think he would actually hurt something ... Unlike the other male human .

" So beautiful here.. Relaxing to." I listened  to him talk to nothing in particular. Then he looked around and landed his eyes on me . which I looked right on back. He smiled.

" So you came to the camp this morning...?" He said happily.

I just kept watching twitching my ears to hear him clearly.

" It was nice of you to visit ... But I would be careful...- I'm talking to an animal who won't respond... Let alone understand me." He said.

" May I take a picture?" He said grabbing something. I watched .

What's a picture?

" SMILE!" He said and I bared my teeth in a playful manor. He laughed and started doing the click thing to other things and animals that came by.

It was relaxing to watch him suddenly move his hand across a big white thing and have a image appear on it. It was cool . Until I realized that it was me! In the tree!

Maybe I should say hello.. He gave no signs of being aggressive .

Here we go .
