Native Girl
(Quicksand Ending) (PG)

It all started on a fine afternoon in the jungle of Downunder. (I know that Australia dose not have a jungle but this is just a story so anything can happen. Let's just say that this Jungle was called the Downunder Jungle, it is not in Australia)
There was a young beautiful 18 year old woman who was picking fruits for her village. She was called the native girl since she had a strong sense of having a close relationship with animals. Her long blonde hair waved in the wind as she continued to pick some fruit from the trees to fill her basket.
Then suddenly as she was ready to leave, the native girl heard a scream, it seamed like there was an animal in trouble.
The native girl then picked up her basket of fruit and went to see what was the matter.
The voices were coming from a thick vine area, the native girl sensed that the screams of help came from this area so she carefully pulled back the vines to see a little monkey trapped in the vines, it seamed he was stuck and could not break free from the vines hold on him.
The monkey then saw a huge figure in front of him and the little monkey screamed like crazy, it thought that this big animal was going to eat it.
But the native girl gently put her hand onto the little monkey and gently stroked it's face.
Then the she said in a soothing voice. "Don't worry little monkey, I will soon get you out of these vines. All you have to do is to calm down so I can free you."
The monkey stoped screaming and slowly calmed down. Then the native girl slowly undid the vines that were slowly strangling his body from much needed air. Finally as the native girl undid the last piece of vine attached to the monkey's chest, the monkey was finally free.
The monkey happily screeched and jumped to hug the native girl.  
The native girl returned the hug with a smile as the little monkey wrapped it's little arms around her neck and buried his head against her chest. The monkey was standing on her small plump chest but that did not worry the native girl because she knew the monkey meant no harm to her body, it was only so the monkey would keeps it's balance while it hugged her. It did not mean to be any more special than a friendly and grateful hug.
After they hugged for a while, the little monkey jumped off the girl and ran into the jungle.
The native girl decided that it was time to go home.

As the native girl was wondering though the jungle back to her village, the humidity was hot and the native girl's drink bottle made out of a coconut shell was empty.
The native girl tried to drink more water from it but it was dry.
"Damm it, I knew I should have filled it up more before I left." she said to herself.
The native girl continued to walk in the hot and dense jungle, the humidity was making her feel dizzy. The hot and humid weather of the jungle can sometimes play tricks on a human or animal so the native girl was desperate to find something to drink.
Then over to the left of her path, the native girl saw some flowers.
"Oh, my, how beautiful." whispered the native girl as she stepped off her walking track and onto the new path leading to the flowers.
Somehow, the flowers played a song, the native girl closed her eyes and listened the soothing song wash over her body as she leaned down and smelled the flowers.
Her feet became soft as she felt something smooth rubbing her shins that laid on the ground to her knees.
"Oh, my, how soft and smooth. I feel like I'm in heaven." the native girl whispered though her lips.
Then she saw some water on the ground, flowing all around her.
"Great, that is what I need!" she said to herself.
The native girl brought her hands into a form of a cup as she dug some water out from the pool and she drank.
"Cough, Cough! What the hell is this?" cried the native girl.
The water tasted so crunchy, there was sand all mixed in the water.
The native girl was shocked to see all the blue clear water around her turn dark yellow as she realised her feet and knees had disappeared below the surface. Plus all the flowers that were standing in front of her vanished.     
"Oh, no, what is this? Oh!" gasped the native girl as she pushed her hands into the sand.
But now her hands were trapped.
"OH NO! Bad, so bad, gotta get them out!" shrieked the girl as she applied pressure on her legs to pull her hands free.
PLOP!
Suddenly her hands became free but the native girl fell backwards with her back hitting the sand hard.
"Oh, my god. It's QUICKSAND!" shouted the native girl.
The quicksand quickly engulfed her whole body as she laid on her back, mouth wide open and in shock.
"Oh no. Quicksand, if I don't get out I'm...mmmgghhh!" she cried before the quicksand took her face.
Her eyes widen as the quicksand continued to engulf her whole body as she was laid down flat on her back.
To her horror the native girl struggled to lean her body in an upright position. The quicksand heeled her whole body stuck below the surface and she had only seconds to sit up strait before the thick quicksand took her face.
The native girl's eyes quickly saw what looked to be like a stick poking out of the sand. Her hand above the surface desperately tried to reach for it before she went under.
'Got, to get it, before...ugh!' the native girl struggled as she continued to reach for her lifeline.
Then as her hand grasped the stick, she pulled with all her strength and eventually her head, body and arms finally rose above the surface as she heaved herself in an upright position.
"Ugh! I can breathe again" the native girl sighed in relief. "Now to get out."
But as her eyes looked closer to her life saving stick, her mouth dropped and her eyes were wide in terror and shock as she realised that she was not holding a stick or a branch. It was an arm of a bony skeleton that had been dead for what seemed to be a very long time.
The native girl had a grim feeling in her heart that this was going to be her fate.
"AAAGGHHHH" shrieked the native girl as she quickly dropped the dead remains below the surface.
Her eyes quickly searched for a vine or something to pull herself free. But there was nothing she could grab onto.
The native girl was completely stuck hip deep, right in the centre of the circle of quicksand.
"Help, somebody. I'm sinking HELP!" screamed the native girl.
But the only replies she heard was from the tiny birds chirping in the trees.
The native girl gasped as the quicksand rose up over her navel.
She could feel the quicksand move under her native jungle skirt.
She could feel the sands climb up her spine.
Her bare belly heaved in and out as the sands swallowed her belly button and now it was rising up her chest.
"HELP, SOMBODY, ANYBODY, I'm Sinking FAST" she cried but still there was no answer.
Tears began to fall from the native girl's eyes as she realised that there was no escape from her peril.
Her breathing began to get faster as the quicksand coved her chest, the sands seeping into her cloth that concealed her chest.
"No, not my chest." sobbed the native girl as she saw them go under for what was going to be her last time to see them.
Her arms rested on the surface before they were quickly taken by the quicksand.
The native girl leaned her head down in defeat and more tears gushed form her eyes. Her breathing became erratic.
"I'm going to die here, no. This can't happen. I still have so much to live for." cried the native girl.
As the quicksand climbed up her neck. The native girl looked up to the sky for one last look at the clouds.
"Goodbye, world." she sobbed as the quicksand took her lips.
She burst out crying and the sand slowly took her face, the native girl leaned her head back as her face became framed by the sands around her. She continued to weep as the sands were closing in on her eyes.
Then just before her eyes went under, the native girl saw a vine swing down form nowhere.
Her eyes widen in slight hope as she tried to move her hands up from above the surface. But they where stuck.
'No, Must not give up now' she thought as her eyes went under the surface of the quicksand and she was struggling blindly to reach her hands above for one last grasp for freedom.
Then after about a minute of nothing, the native girl's hands finally broke the thick surface and they grabbed hold of the vine. The native girl dragged her head above the surface and gasped in vital oxygen.
She spat out the sand in her mouth and slowly dragged her frail exhausted body out of the deadly quicksand.
After about 10 minutes of struggling, the native girl finally reached solid ground and she gasped in and out as her laid on her stomach catching her breath and coughing up more sand from her lungs.
The native girl turned her head to see the little monkey holding the vine that was tied to the tree next to them.
"You, did you throw this vine out to me?" asked the native girl to the monkey.
The little monkey nodded it's head.
The native girl wrapped her arms around the little monkey, rolled over onto her back and drew the little monkey in for a big grateful hug.
"Thank you so much little monkey. You saved me from sinking into the quicksand." cried the native girl as tears were coming from her eyes.
This time they were happy tears.
The little monkey hugged her back as they both felt lucky to be alive today and thankful to have each other. It was the start of a beautiful friendship between the native girl and her little monkey.
The End
Now back when I first started writing, I was really into writing quicksand stories....

I still am, but this was back in the days when I was just new to the internet and all I was into writing was anything with quicksand and sankes and girl-eating plants....

When I found out that anime had the tentacles that was similar to my own tentacle interests...well that is a mixture of a story to tell some other time.

I just wanted to post my Native Girl series up here for nostalgia, as well as letting others know of the series who may not have read it yet. Or if I never had posted it onto deviant art then here it is.
