Timothy looked surprised, "Timothy? My mother, Kala found me as a baby," he said. I sighed sadly, "I mean your family before that." With each word speaking came easier and easier. "Your real name, well, your birth name, is Timothy." Tarzan's eyes opened wide in surprise, "How do you know?" he asked. I stared at him a second, took a deep breath and said the words I'd been longing to say since I'd come across him, "Timothy, Tarzan, I am your sister."
"My, my sister?" he repeated. I nodded solemnly. "Our parent's were scientists. We were traveling to India for a study of theirs, when our ship crashed here. Our family were the sole survivors so we built the tree house you live in now for shelter, you were only a baby. One day they left me watching you and went out searching for food... they never came back. I left to look for them, I promise I was going to come back for you, but I got lost in the jungle. I finally found you." I gazed at him longingly searching his bewildered face for a sign, a sign of forgiveness, of love. Timothy backed out of the cave, still bewildered. I deserved it, I know but still, it hurt so bad to finally find who I'd been searching for half my life and he was leaving me.
Timothy crouched upon a mossy branch, staring at his reflection in the calm water. I cleared my throat and he looked back at me, then looked away. "I'm sorry," I said, "I should have just left you alone, I should have realized you already had a family." I waited for a second, hoping against hope that he would turn and smile and let me hug him. I turned away, gritting my teeth against the hot tears spilling down my cheeks. How dare he make me cry! I swung through the trees blindly, tears now openly falling. I slipped and fell on my knees in the lush, green underbrush. A twig snapped and I looked up sharply. A regal woman, scantily dressed and adorned with gold held a golden cheetah staff across the chests of 3 strange creatures; half leopard, half man!
"I am Queen La," she pronounced. It seems you and I have a common enemy. "wha-what do you mean?" I stuttered, still awestruck and terrified of the demon creatures she held at bay. She turned to the leopard-men and gestured for them to leave, after they did so she crouched in front of me. Tarzan has scorned both of our love, I was in love, and he left me for that silly baboon-girl! Oh, and you, his own sister, he refuses your heartfelt apology for something that really wasn't your fault. Something told me not to listen to her, but everything she said about me was absolutely true. My eyes blazed and my heart turned bitter. "That ape thinks he's better than us!" I raged. She smiled, "Come with me," she purred. "Come to my Kingdom with me, we'll show him who really owns this jungle." she stood up and offered her hand. I smiled and took her hand.
