The Jungle Boy

Chapter 25

Goodbye Helga

Sharpening his weapon, the boy looked as if it was the most fantastic thing in the world but his mind was miles away. "Helga…we've been through this a million times," he said dryly.

"And I'll remind you a million times more that I'm not letting you go alone."

"Helga!" He swiftly turned around towards her angrily. "I said to stay here and that is final!"

"AND I SAID I'M GOING!"

"I SAID NO, HELGA!"

"I'M GOING AND THAT'S FINAL!"

Arnold growled in frustration and roughly grabbed her by the shoulders and pressed a forced kiss to her lips. Helga's eyes widened at the feeling, and then slowly rolled back into her head…and then closed completely as she melted in his embrace.

As she relaxed, his grip on her shoulders loosened and he lowered his hands down the curves of her body, trying not to get too lost in the feeling, and brought them around her waist.

Although her mind was shut down, Helga's body reacted faster and her fingers reached up and fisted into his hair as she kissed back with need and longing.

Drowning into the kiss, his hands travels up and down her sides, fighting going too far, though he noticed his hands weren't listening to his mind as his fingers travelled up to the side of her breast cupping it and feeling the weight.

Helga moaned into his mouth and for a moment Arnold felt like making love with her before leaving. His thumb brushed against her hard nipple, and he shivered, feeling his own body react.

No, I can't do this…

Her lips were very addicting but he knew this couldn't last, he had to go. Pulling his mouth from hers, he moved away from her and picked up his stuff and weapon. He turned to see Helga falling on her knees still in a daze. "Stay here, I promise I'll be back. I will always come back to you," he said, bending eye level with her while gently gripping the crocodile tooth necklace he wore. He took it off for the first time in years and tied it around her neck. Staring into her eyes, he added, "When I get back, I have to tell you something so…wait for me please?" he said before getting up, turning around and walking out of the treehouse.

Helga just sat on the floor, still dazed, and stared out, with a blank, dazed stare. Her hand came to clutch the necklace he'd given her, as tears pooled in her eyes. "I love you, Arnold..." she said in a small voice.

It had been a few days, and there had been no sign of Arnold, and the animals had started to act a bit strangely. Abner had been sleeping in the tree house with Helga to keep her company. Everyone in the village was worried, and though they had faith in him, they still wondered if he would find...the dark threat.

Helga especially was worried sick, and even wanted to go out there after him and find him, but they advised her not to. She was alone a lot of the time, waiting for him, and didn't often speak to anyone. They were worried about her too, and tried to coax her to cheer up, but it was a hard task.

Abner tugged on Helga's skirt now. Trying to get her attention, the little pig looked at her sadly.

"Oh, Abner..." Helga sat down and brought him onto her lap, scratching him between his ears. "I miss him too...I've been so worried. I'm scared he might be injured, lost, kidnapped...or...or..." She couldn't finish the thought, it was far too horrible to think of. She didn't know what she would do if he were... gone.

"I've got to leave soon, I can't stay here any longer."

"Oink!"

Helga giggled softly and rubbed the back of his head. "I really have to go find him, I'm going to sneak out tonight…wanna come with me?" Abner laid on her lap. "I guess that's your answer, okay you can come with me but it's going to be dangerous." She looked up at the sky.

"Tonight, I'll sneak out tonight."

When darkness fell, and everyone retired to their huts and treehouses for the night, that was when Helga made her move. She blew out the candles in the treehouse, gathered a couple of hunting weapons and some food, which she took in a small bag she had made a few years ago. She dressed in brown, tattered but strong loin cloths around her chest and waist, and brought a Swiss army knife, which she kept attached to a strap around her leg.

Going out onto the frontal doorstop of the treehouse she made a sushing motion to Abner and picked him up before grabbing the rope and quickly descending down to the ground. Landing softly with a thud, she looked around quickly to make sure no one saw or heard her.

Setting Abner down, she kept in the shadows, avoiding the line of sight of any sort of light or the huts, being as stealthy as she could be.

She didn't notice a pair of eyes watching her walk deep into the jungle.

The dark figure then suddenly jumped in the air landing on his/her feet. Helga turned around, gasping at the surprise attack.

Arnold sat by the fire, throwing in more wood while cooking the rabbit he caught. He felt lonely without Helga, this was the first time since he was nine that she wasn't with him. Normally she'd be there telling him stories, her sparkling blue orbs, her beautiful smirk, she always had something witty to say. Her long silky blonde hair he could wrap his fingers in, or comb…It was a habit of his, combing her hair since he loved touching her. His thoughts took him to a little fantasy.

He was combing her long silky blonde hair, moving it to the side to press soft kisses on her shoulder blades, traveling his lips up to her shoulders to her sweet tender neck where he could kiss and suck on it. He wanted to hear her moan in pleasure; his hands would slide up and down her sides, feeling the soft texture of her skin. She would turn around and crawl on top of him.

"Arnold..." She moaned his name in ecstasy, as his hands slid over the curves of her body. Straddling his hips, Helga leaned down to meet his lips, while her own hands trailed along his chest in soft but sure caresses.

He pulls away looking at her, eyes half closed.

"Helga…" he moaned, feeling her hand slide down his chest, his stomach felt weird, his body reacting. "I love you," he whispered against her ear, his hands travelling to her top. "I want you"

Blue eyes filled with love and lust. As she bent down towards him, he couldn't help to notice she was showing a good amount of her breasts from her top.

"Hazme el amor, chico de la selva. Quiero que me hagas gritar a los cielos de mi amor para ti. Dame el placer!"

(Make love to me jungle boy, I want you to make me scream to the heavens my love to you. Pleasure me.)

Arnold growled, flipping them over, his hand holding the back of her head, and his lips crashing into hers. The kiss was unlike the few they had shared before: this one held a promise of undying love, loyalty, passion and lust. Breaking the kiss, Arnold whispered against her lips.

"Lo que tú digas, mi reina la selva."

(Whatever you say my jungle queen)

His fingers slid down towards her top, pulling the strings down. She assisted him, and raised her arms upward to allow removal of the garment, exposing the presumptuous mounds of flesh that were her breasts. Round and firm, but soft, supple and squishy. Her nipples perked in the coolness of the air, the aureola were a lovely shade of pink in contrast to her lightly tan skin. They were beautiful, and just begged for attention.

Bringing one hand to gently squeeze one bosom, his mouth latched upon the other, making the young woman beneath him moan and gasp in pleasure, arching her back into him.

"Sí ... me toca, me toca de todo, deja que tu boca y tus manos explorar la selva desconocida de mi cuerpo ... sólo para ser explorada por ti, mi amado." (Yes...touch me, touch me all over, let your mouth and hands explore the uncharted jungles of my body...only to be explored by you, my beloved.)

The young man shook himself out of his thoughts, noticing he had a major problem. Standing up on shaky legs and noticing the tent in his loin cloth, he wished it away for a few moments, closing his eyes, but of course his mind brought him right back to his fantasies of a certain blonde beauty.

He panted a bit, opening his eyes wide as he noticed he was currently touching himself. Blushing and looking around, he then curiously slid his hand inside of his cloth. He groaned loudly… "Helga..."

But it only brought his fantasies back full swing. In fact, at this moment it was as if she were right there with him. ...With her hand up his cloth, her own strong but softly-feeling hand offering utmost pleasure he hadn't known before.

"I'm here, love...Let me pleasure you..."

"H-Helga...Helga..."

His mind had worked him into a frenzy until he ended up on his back sweating and moaning. He felt a bit ashamed of doing this act—it wasn't like him but at the same time he did feel very good. More than good. It was...elating.

"Mi amado...never leave me, never leave me again..." Her eyes bore into his, with pleading lust, as her hand squeezed harder, moving up and down at a faster pace.

Groans escaped him as he lost himself in the pleasuring feelings, and the fantasy invading his mind. "Ah, Helga…" his cheeks were flushed, mouth open with his eyes closed, his hand moved faster until he felt something powerful, "Never…I...ah…I… love you…Helga!" He moaned, feeling himself lose it to the feeling of his orgasm.

"Come back to me, love...I want you..." Her voice faded away into the stillness of the night.

A strange substance leaked out onto his hand, which he brought up to inspect, wondering what it was. Whatever it was, it was kind of sticky. He wiped his hand on a stray piece of fur and tossed it aside. He lay there on the ground on his back for a few moments, panting to regain his breathing as he reflected on the strange but amazing feelings he'd felt. What was that? Was that...the feeling of mating? But she wasn't there, so how?

Helga...

Opening his eyes, he looked up at the sky, at the stars studding it in all their bright beauty. The moon hung overhead, casting its luminous glow upon the jungle. It made him wish she were there, lying on the ground, looking up at that same moon with him, just as she always did every time they would sit outside, be it at their treehouse or in the middle of the jungle...

"Helga...I miss you," he murmured, a single tear rolling down his cheek. "I wish you were here…I shouldn't have done that…it would have been better if we did it together." He had a bit of guilt but he was torn between loving the feeling of what he had just done and wishing she was there when it happened…him doing that with her. He wiped away his tears with his other hand. I have to find La Sombra, only then I can return home to my love...

Despite that she had been dazed from their kissing and his touches to her body, Arnold had still caught the pleading sadness in her azure eyes as he had been leaving. It broke his heart, he hated seeing her so sad and having to leave her behind. All he wanted now was to go back to her and hold her close, assure her he would never leave her side, whisper his love to her in her ear, and feel the soft curves of her body properly, and to hear the sweet sounds of her moaning, to feel her soft supple lips against his... To bring her down onto their bed and make love to her all night long, sending them into an endless night of passion and oblivion...

Shaking his head to rid his mind of such thoughts, he sat up again.

I made a promise that I would return to her, and I will not go back on that. I am a man of my word. I will come back to you, mi amada...I promise.

Helga felt something following them, the hairs in back of her neck stood up. Turning around and not sensing anything, she look down towards Abner who also had been aware something was wrong. His eyes narrowed, looking around.

He suddenly stopped, and she did too, as they listened. Only the sounds of the jungle in the darkness of the night were heard.

A twig snapped under her foot, and the sounds of animalistic feet scampered away, and Abner inched closer to her, his snout twitching as he sniffed the air.

Helga panted, her chest heaving, and she looked up at the sky, up at the moon, and for a moment, she was lost in thought as her hand came up to clutch the crocodile tooth necklace Arnold had given her...the same necklace he had worn ever since she met him, that he never took off...

Where are you, Arnold?

She kept walking while looking at the moon until she bumped on something.

"Greeting Goddess!" The man's deep voice had shook Helga into a state of terror. A dark amethyst hood covering his face, Helga gasped as she felt a sword against her neck. "I've been expecting you…" His accent was thick.

"W-Who...who the hell are you?"

"My name does not matter...Tell me, Goddess...what is a young woman like yourself doing in the middle of the jungle all by yourself?"

The blade tightened a bit against her skin. Shuddered gasps escaped Helga as she tried not to panic or to show the fear within her. But it was blatantly obvious that she was terrified. "I...I'm no...Goddess...you must be mistaking me...for someone else..."

"Ah, but I make no mistakes...the prophecy spoke truly. Haven't you known at all, Goddess?"

"W-What the hell do you mean?"

"That oblong head boy is the prophecy, he is the god of the green eyes and you are destined to be his goddess. Haven't you ever wonder why the animals in this god-forsaken jungle responds to the boy? Protect him? Do you honestly think you came here by accident, my dear?"

"It...was an accident"

"There are no accidents, just prophecies being filled. You are his equal, the ying to his yang, Haven't you notice your power?"

"W-What power? Stop talking to me in riddles!"

"I see, you haven't unlocked them have you? No matter…" Yanking her hair forward, the sword's tip sink into her throat and blood gushed out. He took the sword out and leaned forward to lick and suck on her wound. Helga felt so disgusted. Her head went back as he pulls more on her hair.

"Such a fine beauty…" Helga gasped as she was released, falling onto the ground, she shook her head turning around to see Benicio and the man fighting.

"Rata inmunda!" (unworldly rat)

"No me jodas!" (Don't fuck with me) The man said, running towards Benicoo. The younger man drew his sword and also went for the attack.

Clutching at her bloody throat, Abner running to her side, Helga looked up in shock. "Ben! Ben, get out of here, he's going to kill you!"

"Stay back, Helga!" Benicio told her, dodging a blow from the dark shadow man.

The man sliced Benicio on the eye leaving a big gash on it, and then he took that moment to flee. Helga noticed he was running towards the village!

"Ben! Ben!" she cried, rushing to his side. "Hurry, we have to go after him, he's headed for the village!"

"Then we must go, I will be fine. Come, Helga!" Benicio clutched his wounded eye and grabbed her hand, hurrying off after the shadow man into the jungle.

The village had been peaceful, children were sleeping in their beds along with their parents. The Elder had just settled in his bed when he felt something. Sitting up, he walked out of the hut to see nothing.

"No puedo creer que todavía tú estás despierto, hombre viejo y miserable!" (I can't believe you're still up, you miserable old man)

"La…Sombra!"

"Sabes lo que yo quiero, viejo, pues no puede serivir de nada luchar contra mi. Dame el corazón AHORA!" (you know what I came for old man so it's no use fighting me over it. Give me the heart NOW)

"Usted nunca tendrá nuestro tesoro sagrado. Vete, demonio del infierno!" (You will never have our sacred treasure. Begone, you demon of hell!)

"Entonces ... tú moriraste por mano de su estudiante!" (Then...you will die by your student's hand) he cried, raising the sword up.

"No estás en la condición de ser el líder de esta tribu, su corazón estaba y está lleno de la maldad. Estuviste desleal a nuestro pueblo cuando le dijo a los cazadores el lugar donde vivimos. Nosotros tuvimos que encontrar un nuevo lugar para vivir por ti y tus razones egoístas. Tú se casó y trató a su esposa embarazada mal y sólo trató de obtener el poder, y cuando se encontró del corazón, decidió luchar contra mí ... su maestro, su propio padre."

(You were not fit to become the leader of this tribe, your heart was filled with evil and still is. You were disloyal to our people when you told the hunters of where we lived long ago, we had to find a new place to live because of you and your selfish reasons. You got married and treated your pregnant wife badly and only tried to obtain power, when you found out about the heart you decided to fight me...your teacher, your own father.)

"Tú no eres mi padre. Mi familia está muerta para mí. Pues, no hable más y me da el corazón."

(You are no longer my father, my family is dead to me now stop talking and give me the heart.)

"Nunca. Esas consecuencias se te sobrevendrá si usted pone sus manos sobre nuestro tesoro sagrado. ¿Te acuerdas de las profecías. El corazón no puede caer en malas manos, o las consecuencias serán desastrosas. La toque y te enfrentarás a un caos. ." (Never. Such consequences will befall you if you lay your hands upon our sacred treasure. You remember the prophecies. The Heart can never fall into the wrong hands, or the consequences will be disastrous. Touch it and you will face mayhem.)

"¡Pues muere!" (THEN DIE!) La Sombra leapt forward, and Elder reached into his pocket and jumped out of the way.

Arnold had been deep asleep, the jungle around him had been quiet. He felt something waking him up, opening his eyes he noticed something was licking his face.

"Abner?" he asked sitting up. Abner grabbed at his cloth, pulling it. "Hey stop it, what's gotten into you?" Abner ran around Arnold and the Young man felt alarmed. "Something is wrong, isn't it?"

His eyes widened. "HELGA!"

Questions
