(POV:Reader)
-"Oh for crying out loud, you don't need to kill every living thing you see!" I yelled at Clayton who just sneered at me.
-"My dear, they'll kill us if we don't send warnings" he smirked, loading a new bullet into the gun as I gave a frustrated sigh.
-"Yes! I need to make sure your safe Y/n" father began his rant about safety precautions and things, I blocked it out and looked at my surroundings, stopping to sketch a few things.
-"Clayton?" father called out after he had shot at the bamboo for the millionth time since we had gotten down from the ship.
-"What is it Clayton? Are we in danger?!" father looked around frantically.
-"Father there isn't anything, Mr. Clayton's just shooting aimlessly"
-"I thought I saw something" Clayton looked around while father ranted now about the possibilities of what Clayton could have seen.
-"Hippopotamus amphibious?"
-"Rhinoceros bihornus?"
-"Professor! Don't move!" father stood still like a statue, I let out a quiet giggle at his weird stance and Clayton's expression as he looked around for 'danger'.
-"As much as I appreciate your...helping in protecting us, you'll scare the gorillas off and we won't get to study them"
-"So why don't you put the gun down for a bit and-"
-"And let you get killed? Miss Porter, your father hired me to protect you, and as long as I'm here I will do that" I gave a frown.
-"Y/n! Y/n, don't you realize where we're standing?" father asked.
-"Oh my goodness! It's a gorilla's nest!"
-"Finally!" Clayton exclaimed and father got down to his knees to observe patterns, footprints and everything else he could to try and trace the direction they were going.
-"Do you think the beasts could be nearby?" Clayton asked.
-"Could be, but they've probably left by now, you know, because of the gun sound" Clayton ignored me completely and turned to my father.
-"They might have gone by now, but they're sure to be around here" father replied.
-"Look! There's more nests!"
-"Just as you predicted!"
-"Family groups!"
-"Oh! Y/n, I love you!" father engulfed me in a hug which I returned.
-"Family groups!" Clayton laughed aloud, I stared at him confused about what was so funny about family groups.
-"Excuse me, but these are wild beasts that would sooner rip your head off than look at you"
-"On the contrary, Mr. Clayton"
-"Father thinks that these are more social creatures, not monsters-" I was cut off by the sound of gunshots.
-"Mr. Clayton, please, what if it's a gorilla?"
-"It's no gorilla" he muttered, looking around at our surroundings.
-"Perhaps we should move forward?" he offered.
-"Yes, of course!" father was quick to stand up and march to leave, I stayed behind, looking around before shrugging off the weird feeling. That is until something jumped out of a nearby tree.
-"Oh my goddess!" I pulled out my notebook to sketch the little monkey who was perched on the ground eating a papaya.
-"Father!" I called after him as quietly as I could.
-"Mr. Clayton!" I looked away from my notebook back at the monkey who was now gone.
-"Oh!" the little monkey had made its way onto my shoulder and was looking at the notebook it had in my hands.
-"What do you think, pretty handsome aren't you?" I told the little monkey and he gave a little squeal before taking my notebook.
-"Why you little!" I chased after him, I was slower since my outfit was not fit for running. I was wearing a yellow dress with a hat and a pair of heeled boots, not ideal for the trip.
