~Wild Thang - Part 1~
Solo ran as fast as he could. Holding his precious treasure against his chest, he disappeared into the wild foliage. The animal trackers stopped at the very edge and dared not go any further. The hunters that followed the animals stopped there as well. The Sicilian Jungle would do their jobs for them.
Deeper and deeper into the jungle Solo ran, not daring to look back for fear of them closing in on him. At whatever the cost, he must protect his precious treasure.
"Fear not small one, I won't let them take you, ever." Solo promised the baby within his arms. "Somehow, I'll make things right. Just you wait and see."
Solo knew that he must find a permanent shelter for them or they shall perish before the morn. Scanning the trees for possible shelter as he ran, Solo found a large and twisting tree that could shelter them from many predators. There were thick vines that looked strong enough to support two grown men wound around the trunk that would give him the perfect ladder to climb up.
Taking advantage of the afternoon light, Solo gathered branches that could support a great deal of weight, many lengths of strong vine, and sought a few rocks that could be used as weapons or something else. Setting the child down in a nook of the trunk, Solo went to work, building the shelter they would call home.
Nimbly climbing up and down the large tree, Solo transported the larger branches up first by a pulley system. Finding a place where two branches make a V, Solo started laying the large branches for the floor. Using the vines to make sure the floor will be stable and firm, Solo started on the walls.
Before long, he had the roof structure and roofing done. Placing the small child into their new home, Solo went out to seek some sort of floor covering that would add to some sort of comfort. By luck, Solo discovered a rubber tree nearby. Gathering the sap from the tree, Solo smeared their home with the sap to make it somewhat protected against the elements.
For the flooring and bedding, Solo found grass and leaves. Solo knew that they would need to build a fire, but was unsure as to how without setting their home on fire.
"What am I going to do? We may starve from not being able to cook the food or we may freeze, which might be unlikely seeing how we're in a jungle, but you never know." Solo commented.
The child just blinked back in response with their blue, nearly violet eyes.
"Hmm...what wouldn't be able to burn in this jungle? I can't possibly just build a fire on the wood. It'll catch..." Solo pondered out loud.
The child held up a dirt covered hand, reaching for Solo.
Solo smiled, "You are a boy genius!"
Grabbing the child, Solo held him close. Setting him down, Solo got some dirt and dumped it where the fire would be, making sure to pat it down hard. Putting the firewood nearby, Solo picked up the boy again.
"You and I are going to make it here. It'll be a new life away from those bratty, snobbish, assholes. We will survive out here like no one can. Just you wait and see. I'll teach you everything there is to know about surviving." Solo promised the boy.
The boy gave Solo a toothless grin.
Laughing, Solo twirled the boy around, "That's the spirit! We'll show them that we don't need them! We are free! Free as the bird and animals. Free!"
Placing the boy down, Solo winked at him and said, "Stay right here and I'll be back with food for the both of us. Hopefully enough to last us a while."
Climbing down Solo disappeared off to gather food. Hours later, Solo returned with various vegetation and meat.
"We'll have to probably hunt everyday. The meat will spoil if we don't do it that way. That is, unless we smoke it or whatnot. I got you some green coconuts so you can get some coconut milk. They taste great! The meat ain't so bad either. Nice and soft." Solo commented, starting up the fire.
Crawling up to Solo, the boy rests peacefully against Solo, enjoying the fire. Solo smiles at the boy, wrapping his arms around him. They enjoy the warmth of each other as well as the warmth of the fire raging. The future looked frightening, but together, they will hope to make a life and survive like no
other.
