Chapter 3: Deep Jungle
The children followed the two to the spot where they found the door stuck to the tree. Apparently they forgot how far the door was because they were tuckered out
by the time they got there. The sweat dripped down their brows to their faces and bounced off of them one by one. Finn was so tired that he was holding on to a
tree and leaning on his knees for the extra support.
All the rest of them wanted to pass out on the dew grass and lay there for an hour or two but no they must continue on as fast as possible." Get up children, we
must continue on." Jiminy said with a warm smile on his face. Willa was still trying to catch her breath and messaged her feet at the same time " *Huff * *huff*
Why…can't…we just have used the medallion the White rabbit gave to us?" Willa whined in pain. The White rabbit had a dumb look on his face. "…Oh yeah we
could've used it, wasn't it in your pocket Young Finn?"
When everybody heard this the fell to the floor in tears. " YOU MEAN TO TELL ME WE COULDVE BEEN HERE ALREADY! Ain't that just full of hell!" Maybeck said.
Jiminy just sighed and continued on, him thinking that there's so little time to be fooling around. "Now see here, are we gonna stand here like headless chickens or
are we going to go already! Hurry up and get up and quit your complaining!" Jiminy gave them one of those nasty mad looks that just scare you sometimes.
"Okay, okay I'm up already!" Philby said. They all walk towards the door the White rabbit opened the door and the five kids took in a deep breath just to assure
themselves that everything will be okay. Then they walk slowly inside and inside where just old rotten dirt stairs heading upwards it was very tiny inside only a fit for
the White rabbit and Jiminy but they all managed to squeeze in there and climb the stairs.
It took them 40 minutes tops to reach the end to find another old beat down door but when Finn opened this door Jiminy and the White rabbit was nowhere to be
found! When the door opened a bright white light shined in and sucked the children in as fast as possible. They found themselves in the stars and weird colorful
lights moved around in the galaxy they were in then they stared to fall, fall into the dark abyss and fell flat on a stained glass picture of a beautiful pale young
women with golden blonde hair and red lips. The background was filled with thorn vines and roses she had her eyes closed. They then fell on another one with black
ebony hair pale skin. She wore a beautiful gown poufy short blue and red-striped sleeves a blue corset and a light yellow bottom part of the gown.
They kept falling on stain glass windows of what it seemed to be princesses. Then when they fell on the last one it broke before they could see what's on it. Another
white light came upon their faces and they were not in a dark abyss any longer they where now free falling in a beautiful African jungle! Finn and the rest of them
look in aw at the sight they could see from the sky, but when they realized they were about to splat on the earth.
They fell in a tree trying to grab onto something like a vine instead fell on it and hit the ground not so gracefully.
It was hours later when Willa gain consciousness she wanted to look for her friends but where nowhere to be found. "FINN! TERRY!...PHILBY!
ANYONE!...CHARLENE?" she tried her best to hear something but nothing. "Aw man why couldn't we have fallen on a pillow or something but this! This is ridiculous,
and where the heck did Jiminy and that White rabbit go off to I mean they completely left us!" while Willa was saying all of this she was climbing over broken logs
and cutting through leaves and slimy vines.
It was hot, humid, she could smell mud in the air. It smelled like swampy sea salt mixed in the mud. Then someone grabbed her from behind and she panicked so
much she gave her battle cry and flipped the person over on the cold jungle floor. She then realized it was Finn.
"*Groan* W-what the hell was that for Willa!" he said rolling on the floor trying to regain his strength. "Hey we found you guys! Over here!" It was Philby who called
them and they were all okay and reunited. Now they're only problem was to find out how do they get out of the jungle and to find the King that is oh-so famous.
They walked through the misty humid hot jungle and found no way out. They were walking around for hours and then it hit Maybeck, "I think we're lost, cause I
know I seen that tree with a scratch mark on it before." Charlene opened her eyes wide with her screaming inside her head because all she heard was "lost". "OH
NO! We can't be lost! I am to young to die out here by the hands of the jungle!" "Well would you rather die by something else?" Willa said calmly "Oh yeah *sniff*
like what nothing can be worse than it already is!" "Well um…like that!" Willa screamed pointing to what looked like a huge wasp the size of a lion!
The thing went hurling towards the children and his stinger lighted up with a dark aura around it. They all screamed in terror too frightened to move even an inch.
Was this it? They were going to die first day on the job by a huge wasp! They suddenly heard elephant footprints and a loud sound of a man shouting! The wasp
stopped dead in its tracks and knew what was happening.
Out comes a young woman with light brown hair, sky blue eyes and an old green wrap around her waist and a yellow blouse on. She looked at them funny and then
at the reddish-brown elephant who looked up at her. Out comes a young man from the trees with only a tattered loincloth on. He then stood hunched over a bit but
after looking at these strange people with weird clothes on he stood up straight and hurled at the thing.
Swinging with brutal strength, the thing tried to stab him with its end side but failed and while dodging he rolled on the floor and shoved his bare hand inside the
wasp from the backside and his hand came out in the middle of the wasp's chest. He snatched his hand out with one move, shook the purple blood off his hand and
walked towards the children with stern eyes.
Still frightened they got a good look at the young man's face he was tan with dreads, he had dark blue eyes and his veins showed up black on a part of his face.
"Who are you!" the man growled and scolded giving an intense glare straight into Finn's eyes. "OH CRAP!" Finn said in his head, he could've sworn he peed on
himself and he checked to make sure but nothing was there. "I'll ask you again, who the hell are you! Where you sent by that evil witch!" He was now roaring at
the boy. "N-n-n-no." He managed to get out still to frightened to move. "Where did you come from?" The young woman asked worried for their well-being. "We…
came out of the sky!" Charlene said meekly.
When they heard this they're eyes opened wide, the elephant broke the silence with a gasp "Could they be the Kingdom Keepers here to help us all?" The elephant
said. "WHAO! HE JUST TALKED!" they all said in unison. "Well yeah he talks! He's our friend!"
The woman said and then continued, "Say if you all really are the Kingdom Keepers, you guys aren't what I really expected you know? I mean you all look like your
12 or 13!" She said. "That's because we are…" Finn replied with a blank innocent look. The woman kinda felt a little stupid that she couldn't tell the difference
between a tween and older teen. Maybe it was because of the way she looked at Maybeck. "Well you don't look all that old yourself! What are you 16?" Philby asked.
"No I'm 19 going on 20."
She looked zone out a little and she then looked at the kids and then at the young man. "OH!" She exclaimed startling everyone, making the man fall over holding
his poor ears. "I forgot to introduce myself!" They all fell over thinking how stupid she was. "I am Jane! Hello nice to meet you! The elephant is Tantor and that man
over there is Tarzan! Don't mind him he can be a bit moody but he's clam and harmless like a butterfly!" Said Jane pointing to Tarzan who had an evil look and a
dark aura surrounding him and showed his canine teeth that were sharp and deadly.
"*Sigh* I die a little inside when she says I'm like a butterfly" Tarzan mumbled below his breath. " I heard that you say you always die a little inside when she calls
you a butterfly! Well she called you butterfly like 120 times already! Should I make a funeral grave for you when you die today Tarzan?" Tantor ask in confusion and
all Tarzan did was just look at him "…Tantor…" "Yeah Tarzan?" he said cheerfully "…shut up please." Tarzan hissed low.
"How does he even know that? What did he count or something?" Maybeck asked "Maybe…" Tantor responded "Okay besides the fact that he counts how many
times this guy over here says 'I die a little inside', how do we get out of this jungle and what are those things and what is your friend over there who got emo
problems?" Finn asked ".get…out of the jungle? I don't know I never seen the other worlds before!" Jane said. "Other worlds?" "Yes." "Jane's right and those things
are called twisted wasps. They can sting the hell out of you. One hit and you got that disease they carry in their stinger." Tarzan explained. "Well what happens to
you if you get the disease?" Willa asked in curiosity.
Tarzan looked up in a blank stare remembering something that happened to him. His face turned dark and a pale just thinking about it and then he continued
reluctantly. "It turns you insane. It can kill you but you would still move around like you are still alive…" "Oh like a zombie?" "Huh? What the hell is a zombie?"
Tarzan asked.
"Uh nothing…I'll tell you later continue on." Finn said and Tarzan obeyed and did so. "Your blood turns black, you turn pale and become power hungry, you'll have
lust for blood, be a blood thirsty killer fighter. Your eyes can change colors as well." Tarzan said as he stuck his big toe in the moist dirt, tracing lines and circles.
"You turn into this beast but in your own body! The only things that change is your face, you grow bigger, claws…well pretty much you turn half wolf like creature or
something I don't know what to call them!" Jane explained, as she was scratched her head trying to understand her own words.
"So…Tarzan…you're one of them aren't you?" Tarzan looked at Philby with his vampire like eyes and gave him a fang grin. "Heh…you catch on pretty quick! But yes I
am one of them." "Wait your not gonna kill us or something right?" Charlene asked shaking and whining. "Well obviously I didn't do it. If I wanted to I could kill you
on the spot! I learned how to control this curse yet also a power of mine. I was never like this but I guess my personality changed as well…go figure." He said
miserably turning all emo again.
Suddenly they heard noises not to far away but only Tarzan could smell it and hear it. "GET BACK!" Tarzan screamed. He was all to familiar to the scent of another
monster called the heartless, it made him sick to his stomach because they smelled like bloody rotten hearts mixed with the smell of people. He felt them coming
and readied himself in a stance in order to fight. With one swipe of his hand a large unusual key the size of a sword appeared in his hand. It was brown and green; it
was covered in vines, leaves and a sharp cut on the end. On the handle it had a little keychain leaf to represent the jungle he lived in. it was quite but Tarzan was
ready to strike whenever they decided to attack. Then one of them decided that it was time to fight and jumped at Tarzan. He blocked the attack and flung the key
at its head and it die away. The soul of the heartless rose to the sky and seeing this, the other heartless came after him. He dodged left and right tossing his weapon
aside by accident and was covered in heartless monsters he tried to find the strength to get up from them who were holding him down. Pined to the ground he
found a few more heartless slowly walking over towards the rest of the group. Jane screamed in horror and screamed out to Tarzan for help. He then gained enough
power by absorbing dark energy, slicing through the heartless bodies.
