Hi everyone. This is my first ever fanfic, so please excuse if it's not that good, I haven't quite got the hang of this putting your ideas down on paper thing. Hopefully it will get better as the chapters go on. It's mostly going to be wrote in POV's. It's basically my version of Alice turning up at leopards den for the rabies outbreak, buuuut with a twist :P
Hope you enjoy and please review it, let me know what you think and where i'm going wrong with fanfics :P detail etc..
Danny's P.O.V
I stood on the verenda, eyes glued to the road track, waiting and waiting, for this vet to arrive. It had been over 3 hours now, what was keeping him? I think I was slowly beginning to loose the will to live, what with the rabies outbreak and everything. Then finally, only a resonable 3 hours late, I saw a landrover race into the gates of leopards den. Dust flew everywhere as it steadily began to pull up at the front doors.
I made my way over ready to greet my new assistant vet.
A young girl got of the landrover, possibly only about nine or ten years old. Far to young to be a vet that is for sure! Damn it! Still no vet.. He was going to get a piece of my mind when he arrived! Does he not realise we still have a case of rabies to solve
"Hi i'm Charlotte" the young girl said to me, cheerfully
I went over and shook her hand
"Hi, i hope you're not the new vet" i said jokingly. There was no point in taking my anger out on a young innocent girl, i'm sure my vet would be arriving in no time
"No, that would be me" a voice interrupted. "Alice Colli..." she stopped, unable to finish off her sentence as she noticed me
"Alice?" i asked. I knew i'd heard that voice somewhere before, that beautiful glasweigan accent. It was unforgettable
"danny?" she replied
"the one and only"
She hadn't changed at all. Those bright blue eyes sparkling back at me, just like I'd remembered them, Her Long silky black hair fell down to her waist, WOW, she was even more amazing than i had remembered. And a child? I'd clearly missed a hell of a lot. I found it hard not stare at her, I just couldn't believe it. It was really her. My Alice. No, wait. what am i saying, she's not my alice anymore, she's probably married with children now. Well clearly she has children. I just can't believe it. Why am even getting these feelings towards her. After all these years. Pull yourself together Trevanion.
I felt sadness take over me as I thought about the life she is probably living now. Without me.
"i can't believe its you" she said to me. From the tone of her voice, it was clear that she was in great shock to see me
"erm, mum? do you already know him?" asked her young daughter, confussed of what was going on
"yeah sweetie, i know him from way back" she replied "can you please wait in the jeep for me honey"
"but mum, we only just got here! i'm tired" her daughter moaned
"she can go and have a lie down on the beds if she likes" i told her
"no. we are not staying here danny" she snapped
"why?" i asked. Confussed
"why do you think"
Of course i did understand why. I had to convince her to stay though, there was no way i could say goodbye again
"Alice, at least stay the night. You've travelled all the way here, there's no point going back now, it's getting late" I told her
She looked at me with disgust as i told her she could stay the night.
"well i obviously didn't mean it like that! You and your daughter, you can have the guest room for the night, we will talk in the morning. Ok?"
"Fine. One night. That's it. And only for Charlotte's sake"
"Of course"
I introduced Charlotte and Alice to the family and Nomsa soon set up the spare room for the pair of them.

Danny's P.O.V
I couldn't sleep. All i could think about was Alice, beautiful Alice. What was she doing in Africa? Why did they have to send her here? A daughter? Alice? No. She had obviously changed so much, the Alice I knew was not the maternal type at all... well, at least I didn't think she was. My head was full of questions. I needed to find things out. Talk to her.
One things for sure, I know for the love of life, i can't let her leave tomorrow. I just can't do it.. I can't let her go again.
God, I need a drink. Preferably something alcoholic.

Danny headed off to the kitchen in search of an alcholic drink to settle his mind. His head was all over the place.
Alice's P.O.V
I lay there in this strange bed, scanning every detail of the room, which was very oddly decorated. Clearly been done by Danny. Art never was one of his best skills. I turned over. My beautiful little girl lay beside me, fast asleep. She was dead to the world. That had always been a good thing about Charlie, ever since she'd been a baby, nothing ever woke her, not even a thunderstorm. I stroked her hair off her face. She was perfect. Like her dad in every single way, she was even starting to act like him. I honestly don't know how I would of coped without Charlie, my little angel. She was everything to me. The only family I needed. It was me and Charlotte against the world, always had been, always will be, far as I'm concerned.
I could not for the life of me get to sleep. Something was playing on my mind. Probably the fact I had just turned up at Danny's home. Daniel Trevanion. God this wasn't happening.
I needed a drink. I'll go search the kitchen, see what they have lying about this place. That scruffy beer bellyed drunk I'd met earlier had bount to have something left in the house. I do hope to god he was no relation of Dannys.
Alice climbed out of bed and headed off to the kitchen in hope she'd fine something alcoholic to send her to sleep.
