Disney Tarzan/ Atlantis the Lost Empire crossover
I own nothing, property of Disney and Edgar Rice Burroughs
I wanted to do something with my 2 favorite Disney movies.
Disney's Tarzan takes place somewhere between 1965 and 1882( when Darwin, Rudyard Kipling and Queen Victoria were alive) and 'Atlantis the lost Empire' takes place in 1914. Several sources say Milo is 32 years old, so that would mean he's born in 1882. That's too soon for a Milo/Jane pairing( unless if you take the original time from Edgar Rice Burroughs's book. I kept Disney's time indication.)
Suddenly, this light bulb appeared above my head and went PING…
I have nothing against Tarzan( or anybody else).
This story is NOT a sequel to any of my other Atlantis or Tarzan stories.
I'm sorry if I got a name wrong ( I don't know the names of Milo's parents)
As I feel life leaving my body, there are only two thoughts left on my mind: what will become of my sons, and how could this have happened? Ah… the pain…I can't take it anymore. I always knew I wouldn't die a peaceful dead, but still, I had expected something else… The light is coming my direction. Jack… Milo…I can't leave them behind, but…the pain… I can't…. I have to go. Is that …mother? No, it can't be…I must be hallucinating…. How could this have happened? How did he found me?
It al started about a year an a half after the wedding. I should have seen it coming… He never loved me, or at least not like I loved him. I had to leave him. I was in to much pain and to embarrassed to stay. I fled away, knowing he wouldn't let me leave. I was 'his property'.
The question I should be asking is: Why?
Why did it happen to me? What have I done wrong? Why do I deserve to die like this?
Why did I stay with him in the first place?
All those memories coming back…
Lets start at the beginning. Jane. The name my parents gave me. The name I never wanted to hear again in my life. Now I would do almost anything to hear my father call me like that again. Daddy…I've missed him so much…Why did he betray me?…Did he love that monster more than his own daughter? I swear, if I hadn't met James, I would have never trust another man again. My sweet James…One of the few people that chose my side. Everybody saw me as the bad guy…Their Tarzan would never do such a thing. It was Sunday. I was walking through the jungle, looking for my 'husband' who was never to be found, again. Officially, we weren't married. We were just living together. Maybe that's why he thought he could have me and her. La. When I saw them kissing passionately, I first thought it was one of her tricks. Even when I saw them…making love, I pretended I didn't mind, that I was ok. It had to be one of her tricks. I can still feel the pain I felt when I saw them together…
He changed. Even the gorillas had seen it. He had always been an excellent leader of the gorillas, but now , the only thing he did was hanging out with her, or other humans he normally would have stayed miles away from, or fighting with the Waziris, who had once been our friends…We all tried to talk to him…Kala said she couldn't recognise her son anymore, I told her I still believed it was one of La's spells. He became more and more aggressive. The first strikes came… Flynt was the first victim. He had done nothing wrong. Others followed soon… But he always remained their Tarzan, who would never hurt an animal unless it had deserved it…
After he hit me in the face, I went straight to the tree house and grabbed some important stuff…a picture off my mother, my sketchbook, some money…I knew I couldn't take much with me. I had very little time, and everything got my scent on it, he would follow it.I paused when I heard Kala…She was begging him to stop. How could he do that to his own mother? When he finally stopped and left, I quickly went down and took her back to the tree house to take care of her. She saw I was packing.
We talked. She completely understood, wondering why I hadn't already left. He was no longer her son, the boy she had found an raised. By then we both were convinced it wasn't La. Just Tarzan. I still don't understand how he could change into…that.
I had to go. It was as if all my love for him had turned into hate the moment his fist hit my face. And if I had stayed any longer, he probably would have killed me. After I had left, I often wondered what had happened to the gorillas, to the elephants, to all the other animals…Were they still alive? I know it sounds crazy, but they had been my family. I never saw my real family again after I decided to stay with Tarzan. After the biggest mistake of my life. I've missed them so much. The last thing I told my family and friends was: I'll be back soon…But I couldn't go back to England. I had no money (not enough for the journey back home), and it would also be the first place they would look for me.
It was night when we reached the trading post. I wasn't sure if we would be safe there, but I had no other place to go, and I couldn't leave Kala out there…with him.
Thanks for reading.
PS: what do you think of it?(If everybody hates it, then I'll stop here, and otherwise I'll try to update soon)
I'm sorry for the grammar and spelling
