When Elizabeth Smith follows her father to the newly discovered jungles of Africa, she meets more than just exotic wildlife. The small village, the beginnings of a new English colony, sits just inside the jungle. And inside the jungle resides a mystery - a man named Edward Jungleson. The villagers know only what he allows them to know; and they know not to venture too far into the trees after him. But not Elizabeth. She allows her curiosity to get ahold of her, finding herself lost in the middle of the African jungle. A stampede of elephants comes crashing towards her - until she finds herself swinging high in the vines with the one and only jungle man : Edward. He doesn't know why he saved her. The foreign people know to stay out of his home; so why did he save her when he allows the others their fate? Edward, a man raised by the jungle, finds himself drawn to the lovely, innocent woman. The jungle isn't a place for romance. But then again, it isn't exactly a place to live either. ((Loosely fantasized off of Tarzan the Ape Man, by Edgar Rice Burroughs.))

When you go into the jungle to kill, you'd better be ready to kill a piece of yourself. Tommy Volker, age 22, and his friends, are adventuring across the world in search of excitement and danger. With Tommy's bank account having bulged from an unexpected inheritance, the possibilities are near-endless as they try to wander off the tourist trail at every opportunity. Tommy and the gang are in Brazil when they're approached by an eccentric man named Amy who makes them a disturbing offer: for $120,000, they can go to the jungle, hunt, and kill a human being. His friends are appalled, but Tommy is intrigued, so he sneaks away and accepts the offer without looking back once. But the jungles of the nearby Chawe Islands have plans for Tommy. Within hours, he loses most of his equipment and is badly wounded. Amy refuses to pick him up, coercing Tommy to honor the deal by keeping one of his friends captive as insurance. Tommy, armed only with a knife, is forced to turn back into the darkness of the jungle and find out what sort of man he really is.Complete

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. Gordon Liddy NOTE: Wattpad has marked this as 'mature' (it's not actually that bad but what the hey, it's their website) so if you can't view chapters then you'll have to follow me sadly.

Heart & Soul - An Avatar Fanfiction
"𝙼𝚢 𝚑𝚎𝚊𝚛𝚝 𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚜𝚘𝚞𝚕 𝚕𝚊𝚢 𝚠𝚒𝚝𝚑 𝚝𝚑𝚎 𝙽𝚊'𝚟𝚒, 𝚕𝚊𝚢 𝚠𝚒𝚝𝚑 𝚢𝚘𝚞." "𝙾𝚎𝚕 𝚗𝚐𝚊𝚝𝚒 𝚔𝚊𝚖𝚎𝚒𝚎. 𝙸 𝚜𝚎𝚎 𝚢𝚘𝚞." "𝙸 𝚐𝚘𝚝 𝚊 𝚋𝚊𝚌𝚑𝚎𝚕𝚘𝚛'𝚜 𝚍𝚎𝚐𝚛𝚎𝚎 𝚏𝚘𝚛 𝚝𝚑𝚒𝚜... 𝚖𝚞𝚕𝚝𝚒𝚙𝚕𝚎, 𝚊𝚌𝚝𝚞𝚊𝚕𝚕𝚢." Rune Chapman is a spirited young woman who is capable of and is many things. A gentle soul? Fair enough. A renowned scholar in Anthropology? Absolutely! A genius? Sure. A child of the dying world? Regrettably, yes. But she's also individual who will one day change the world as she knows it, she just doesn't realise it yet. After being offered a once in a life time opportunity to come to Pandora and pilot an Avatar, a genetically cloned artificial Na'vi version of herself, Rune simply cannot refuse. Even if her employers are the incredibly ethically questionable RDA. On Pandora, her wildest dreams are bought to life as she discovers and explores a world that she'd only ever read about in textbooks, only ever seen in photos, only ever known in theory. She's presented with opportunities that many scholars, such as herself, would kill for, and she gets to meet people, both human and Na'vi, that she is proud to call her friends. And maybe... there's one of them that's more than just a friend to her. But sooner or later, she'll have to make a choice that will have the power to change everything. The question is; is Rune strong enough to make it? Will she turn her back on the only place she used to call home and enter her new one into welcoming arms? Or... Will she succumb to the pressured familiarity of a dying world? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Her soul runs with Eywa and the People, and her heart beats with Pandora.
