Dr. Valin laughed, but it sounded harsh and cruel, ricocheting off the walls that surrounded them. He said, “I will never leave her alone, and you know that, Aaron. How foolish of you, to send her straight into the belly of the beast. You always were the one to take risks, but this time you went too far. Katherine sacrificed herself for this and you know that.

However, this could lead to much more complications than she had originally thought....

Faced with survival day in day out and all alone, he never realized the piece of him he was missing. The human side. Unpredictable events are thrown to Angus, ones he could never imagine in his wildest dream, all from this one girl, Evelyn, who sailed to his jungle for a research expedition. His instinct is to protect her and never let her go as she brings out something in him he hasn't felt in years. 'Take, for example, the African jungle, the home of the cheetah. On whom does the cheetah prey? The old, the sick, the wounded, the weak, the very young, but never the strong. Lesson: If you would not be prey, you had better be strong'. - G.
