The Queen Of The Jungle
Chapter one
Two worlds one family
It was a dark and cruel night on the edge of the African jungle, a terrible storm had been brewing through the night and had finely unleashed it fury on the inhabitants.
Not far from the shores of Africa a ship could be spotted tossing and turning on the brutal waves. A streak of lightning had hit the deck of the ship and had set it a flame, in a mater of minutes the almost entire ship was engulfed in sheet of fire and notice.
The last remaining inhabitants of the vessel was trying desperately to escape their heated demise. A young, pail, brown haired man with burgundy eyes, was busy hard at work lowering the small boat containing his last remaining family into the water. His wife, a shore red haired woman with beautiful gold eyes, started up at him with fear in her eyes, one hand clutching the sides of the boat, and the other desperately holding a small bundle the her breast. The child within that bundle looked out at the world with her mother's glistening gold eyes, completely oblivious to the tragedy around her.
As the board neared the water, the beam of the ship spit, sending the man speaking on his back as his family hit the waves non to gently and began floating away towards the shore. After the woman had regained her balance she quickly looked back out to the boat, hoping to see her husband escape the flaming torch of a ship. To her relief and joy, her prays were answered. Her love had been able to get his thoughts together long enough to swiftly sprint to the edge of the ship and dive into the ice waters below. When he resources he urgently started rushing for the life boat, once found he swamp as fast as he could to the edge where his wife hastily began to heave his waterlogged body to swiftly.
One look into her golden eyes sent a warm rush of relief though his heart. After a swift hug and a beep kiss, he looked down at his daughters beautiful face, gently reaching down to stock her soft wisps of hair that matched his own, he smiled and both he and his wife watched in joy as the tiny child gave them a gummy grin up at them.
Then they both looked up at the dark foreboding land the waves were speeding their boat towards, leaving the sinking flaming wreckage of the ship far behind them.

(As a side note, the wild "African" monsters in this fanfic do not wear any clothes for the most part, because the are... well... wild, don't worry non of them have any visible private parts, or at lest if they do I do not go into much detail about them, so all should be good)
Mean while deep in the jungles of Africa, a group of wild African monsters sat peacefully under the shelter of the trees, where the storm was a distant threat. The leader of this group Asgore, a white furred monster with a long yellow beard and two ginormous horns that much resembled a goat watched with pure love as his wife, and mate Torial a similar looking goat like monster, played with the young son Asrial. He watched as his small son bounded towards him beating his white furred chest in mock aggression as though he were challenging him, Asgore laughter good naturally and playfully wrestled his boy to the grounds and proceeded to tickle him until he wriggled out from under his father and ran back on all fours to the safety of his smiling mother.
Asgore chuckled and turned back to his tribe. The monsters he led were an odd bunch, no odder than that of any normal group however, him being the largest and the strongest aromatically made him the letter, however not all of the monsters his looked after were the same in aperients, the tribe had many monsters of all shapes and sizes, they had bunny monsters, dog monsters, fish monsters, cat monster and so many more, they had even adopted a widowed skeleton monster and his children who weren't much older that Asrial after there old troop died in a forest fire.
However they were happy, all off protected under the watchful eyes of there leader, completely oblivious to the tragedy that will soon claw there way into their lives.

The next morning, the storm had past, and the human family were making their way along the beach, searching for possible shelter for the days ahead. Both mother and father, knew they needed to find some place sturdy and weather resistant to make their new home. They had been up and down the edges of the cliffs with out success until the baby spotted a tree she quite liked the look of and gestured towards it, in aware that it was exactly what her parents had been looking for.
After that they spent many days haling the washed up wreckage of the ship from the beach to the large tree up by the cliffs, over the many days of hard work and acing back, they had finished their new home.
A tree house at the edge of the jungle built from what ever was left of their ship coming here, they had their old tables and chairs add had built a large hammock from the old sails of the ship. For the baby they used on old trunk file with blankets as a cradle with a nice frilled sheet draping over it to wheeled her from the sun. There home was also decorated with what ever pictures and decor they had salvaged, including a family portrait of them selves, their baby, and a young toddler with her father's hair and eyes the makes the couple sad to look upon.
Despite their unfortunate start the new family had settled in very well to life in the jungle, however much like the other inhabitants of the island, they would soon realise that danger is no stranger to the jungle.

That night both family's slept soundly, the tribe of monsters all hurled up in various arias of the nesting grounds, the young ones slept with their mothers and/or fathers, and the adolescents slept hurled up together for warmth.
Asgore and his mate were asleep side by side with there son held in his mother's arms, only he wasn't asleep, he had been restless all night despite for someone to play with.
Then to his joy, Asrial spotted a small frog type being hoping from leaf to leaf. With out hesitation his jumped out of his sleeping mothers hold and followed the strange creature. He followed it to the outskirts of the nesting grounds.
Unfortunately he had been so enthralled by the prospect of a new friend to play with he hadn't knottiest the large spotted jaguar creeping towards him. By the time he had it was already to late, with a lowed roar the beast leapt in front of him, he screeched in terror desperately trying to scramble away form the predator.
His mother and father haveing herd his screams, tried to rush to his aide, his mother looking around with pure fear in her eyes. She carried on sprinting towards his calls only to be held back by Asgore who had stopped as he herd his son's cries go from cries of terror to cries of pain, it was at that moment they both knew they were to late.
The wails of the distort mother were enough to wake the whole jungle, tears ran down her furry checks as she cried into her mates shoulder, calling out for her baby.
The next few weeks, were filled with depression for Torial, she couldn't sleep, she barely ate, and her heart filled with sorrow at the mere site of the other mothers with their beautiful living babes.
"hey Aunty T you oks" a voice from behind her said with a slight lisp.
Torial turned around to see a small young skeleton boy with sharp k9s but one missing baby tooth, he was not much older the Aerial had been and that made her heart sore, but she tied not to show it.
" oh hello Sans, I didn't see you there" she said, picking him up onto her lap and grooming him, by rubbing the mud of his bones.
"itss oks, most people don't see me s, but it make it more fun when i say boo, or somthing" he said as he started messing with a twig he had found.
" haha I'm shore it is, I was just looking for some quiet time, that's all" she said with a smile that couldn't quite meet her eyes.
"ohhhhh I gets it, but I'm here so does that mean I is ruining your quiet time, should I go now" he said looking up at her.
" no dear one, you don't have to go, now tell me, is it not your birthday tomorrow?" she ask eager to change the subject.
The boy brightened up at the mention of his birthday.
" yeah yeah, daddy said, me and papy can come with him to look for termites and, and butterfly, and ,and more termites if I is good" he said excitedly.
" well that is exciting" she said fondly patting her adopted nephew affectionately.
She sat there smiling as she watched Sans chatter on about what he plans to do for his Birthday, when suddenly a cry broke out from the silence of the jungle. After about a minute the cries became louder and constant, but Torial recognised them immediately to be the cries of a baby.
" Sans go back to your father" she said quickly as she started to make her way towards the sound.
"Oh but I want to help" he said trying to follow her, being just as curious about the strange sound as she.
"no child, you go to you father and look after you brother, I will be back soon don't you worry" she said soothingly.
At the mention of his little bother Sans sped of in the direction of the tride, but not before he looked back, still wandering what was making the louder notice.
Xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
Torial ran on all fours towards the sound of the crying, her head told her to stay with the tried but her heart told her otherwise, some out she knew that what ever was making that terrible notice, they were calling to her. And she would be dammed before she let another child's call go unanswered.
After following the cries for little over 5 minutes she came across a very strangely shaped tree, normally she would be terrified at the site of this and run in the other direction, however the cries of the child speared her on.
As she made her way up the tree she gradely became more cursus. She opened the door slowly and began to wait inside. The strange room was a mess, books were stroon all over the floor, curtains were wript and furniture was turned into it's sides. All was very still, Torial made her way further in looking around carefully, but when she looked to the right and saw the mangled bodies of to humans and an array of familiar bloody paw prints, she backed up quickly, not befor almost griping over the shattered remains of a family portrait and a small wooden box, witch after being knocked to the floor started playing a sweet melody.
She picked it up out of curiosity, and looked at the strange insides. Suddenly the cries started up once again, much closer than before, it was coming from the other end of the room. With out hesitation, Torial made her way over to a strange box, and lifted the lid. What she sore inside made her gasp, there rapt in purple and blue blankets was a small human baby, a girl by the look of it, most likely the offspring of the dead couple in the corner.
Witch must mean only one thing, it was alone and orphaned with nowhere the go.
'well not if I can help it' thought Torial, as she picked the small pick creature up by it's leg and depositing it into her waiting arms. The crying immediately stop after this, and Torial looked down at the baby, smiling full heartedly down at it's beautiful face. The hole in her heart was being filled, as she stroked her new baby's head her eyes so full of love it almost hurt.
Her happiness was short lived however, when a familiar smell wafted up to her nostrils.
JAGUAR.
With out hesitation she quickly served around to face the beast head on. She had already lost one child to the creature, she wasn't about to lose another without a fight.
The jaguar lept at Torial but she anticipated this and quickly told to one side, not before raking her sharp claws across the big cats side. An injury like that didn't give the beast much of a fighting chance, and it new this, so with one Las growl it sprinted out of the tree and into the woods, living to fight another day.
Torial waited no time after that to get back to the nesting grounds, baby in hand, and her heart full of joy, she could not wait to show of her beautiful new daughter to the rest of the tribe.
The tribe all greater her with relief and happiness upon her return, she had been gone for some time and they had worried, thinking she might have fallen down.
"I'm fine really, I just got a little distracted" she said with a smile as she revealed her new baby.
The tribe all gasp in shock, most of them had never even seen a human and didn't know what to make of her, some of them, looked at the child with a weary eye, unsure if it was a threat or not, however most fond the child to be quite cute, not as cute as their own babies but then again they were a bit byest. At this point little Sans had made his way to the front and claimed up onto his Ruth's lap to see the new baby.
He was entranced, it was the weirdest and strangely adorable thing he had ever seen. He reached a tiny bony hand to her and locked it on the cheap.
"it's so soft, but really weird" he said
" " his father scolded.
" but it is, it's squishy and weird, not a bad thing to be, what ever it isss" he said in his defence.
Torial laugh before handing Sans the child to hold, "she's a baby, like Papy"
Sans struggled to hold her at first, but then after looking into the new baby's eyes, he smiled and hugged her around the middle, earning a collected awwww from the rest of the tried.
"So wears her mother" asked one of the bunny monsters. At this Torial smiled.
" well I'm going to be her mother now" she said.
It was at this point Asgore showed up, he walked all fours towards his mate and watched as Sans continued to hug the child making her giggle and coo.
"you know, she's kind of pretty, wants you get used to her" he said, when he noticed Asgore however, Sans hugged the baby even closer protectively before realising what he was doing and swiftly handed her back to Torial.
"Toris her momma now" he informed Asgore.
"So I heared" he said as he bent down to tack in the child's sent.
The baby giggled in fascination at she reached up and rushed his snout.
Asgore quickly backed away at this, but then felt his mates paw on his arm.
"Asgore I saved her from Subor" she said
Asgore's then showed some pitty for both mother and baby, but then returned to stoick. "you could have been hurt or worse".
"if you don't want us we'll go" she said sensing the angry tone in his voice.
" No" he said quickly before sighing " was it alone, you need to be shore"
" yes, I saw the bodies myself, she needs me, and, and I need her" she said hugging the baby close.
Asgore sighed, he knew his mate wasn't trying to replace his son with this child, to even suggest such a thing would lead to a week in the dog house so to speak. But he also knew that there was no use getting attached to it, it wouldn't survive for long after all. But the look of pure love in his mates face told him that even if he tried there was no convincing her of this.
"it's what she needs for now, but it won't last long" he said a dressing the tribe as they started to walk away.
"She will survive, and I know she'll make a good daughter" she said as he turned face her about to say something, but the happy look on his wife's face corset him to think better of it as he walked away.
Now only Torial, the baby, Sans and his father Gaster remained.
"so what you gonna call it" Sans said leting the baby grip his fingers in her little hand.
"I think I'll call Her Frisk" she said with a smile.
"Frisk? Well ok she's your baby" he said with a shrug, but secretly quite happy with the name.
" alright young man, come on it way past your nest time, now say good night" Gaster said good naturally lifting his son onto his back.
"ohhhhh but I wanted to play with Frisk some more" Sans wined
"I'm shore Auth tori won't mind you playing with her tomorrow now come on you need you sleep" Gaster said chuckling.
" oh ok night Aunty tori, night Frisky" Sans said sleepily as his father tuck him away.
Oxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox
As the tribe settled down for the high Frisk became quite restless, and it was know wander after such an eventful day.
So after about half an hour of fussing Torial resorted to the oldest trick in the book, she lifted her baby up to her chest and strockered her back soothingly as she lay down.
"hush now my child it alright, I'm here, I'm here come on , come on"
"Come stop your crying
It will be alright
Just take my hand
And hold it tight
I will protect you
From all around you
I will be here
Don't you cry
For one so small,
You seem so strong
My arms will hold you,
Keep you safe and warm
This bond between us
Can't be broken
I will be here
Don't you cry
'Cause you'll be in my heart
Yes, you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart
Always
Why can't they understand the way we feel
They just don't trust what they can't explain
I know we're different, but deep inside us
We're not that different at all
And you'll be in my heart
Yes you'll be in my heart
From this day on
Now and forever more
Don't listen to them
'Cause what do they know
We need each other, to have, to hold
They'll see in time, I know
When destiny calls you, you must be strong
I may not be with you
But you got to hold on
They'll see in time, I know
We'll show them together
'Cause you'll be in my heart
Believe me you'll be in my heart
I'll be there from this day on
Now and forever more
You'll be in my heart
No matter what they say
You'll be here in my heart
Always
Always I'll be with you
I'll be there for you always
Always and always
Just look over your shoulder
Just look over your shoulder
Just look over your shoulder
I'll be there
Always"
And with that they both slept soundly
