Ava’s university had given her a wonderful opportunity to see a part of the world still shrouded in mystery, a few days ago her and three of her class mates had been flown to the rainforest to join real life scientists as they conducted a study on the wildlife in the area, the days were long and the work was hard but it was all worth it to experience a place so isolated from the effects of mankind.
At the end of a particularly muddy day studying the feeding habits of a species of toad Ava couldn’t wait to get cleaned up, fortunately for her they had set up camp not far from a natural hot spring that was perfect for relaxing in after a grubby day, once she had finished writing her notes she wasted no time grabbing her wash bag and heading out of camp.
On her way out Ava shouted to the only other girl on the expedition “Hey Danni you coming to the spring?”
“Nah I’ll go later” a voice shouted back from inside one of the tents.
Ava looked at the boys, they had made it clear they had no issues sitting around in there mucky clothes for days and she knew they wouldn’t be in a rush to get cleaned up, it looked like she had the spring all to herself.
Ten minutes later Ava was at the spring, she dropped her wash bag on the ground, took off her boots and socks and climbed straight in, the water quickly went a murky shade of brown as Ava moved around patting her sides trying to get all the dirt out of her clothes, after a while the water became clear again and Ava decided her things were probably about as clean as they were going to get, it was time for her to relax and enjoy the one piece of luxury and comfort out there in the depths of the rainforest.
She started by undoing the buttons on her shirt and slipping it off, she held it up and rung some of the water out of it before throwing it on the ground at the side of the spring, next she did the same with her shorts, then her hat and even her underwear, as the warm water hit her bare skin she felt all her aches and pains start to fade away, this was pure bliss, Ava sat on a rock in the spring and closed her eyes, she layed back and gave in to the serenity of her environment.
A minute or two later Ava heard a noise, there were lots of noises in the rainforest but this one was close, it almost sounded like it came from above her, a moment after that there was another noise, this time it was a rustle in the bushes to her side, Ava opened her eyes and stood up with her arms held across her chest, she thought maybe it was someone from camp coming to use the spring but as she looked around she saw no-one.
‘How odd’ she thought before settling back down in the warm water.
As Ava bathed in the peaceful glow of the evening sun she could have drifted off to sleep, she very well might have if not for the sudden screaming that came screeching out of the thick of the trees.
Ava shot up in a panic and frantically searched her surroundings for the source of the sound, not even thinking about covering her boobs this time.
“He..hello” she called out into the jungle timidly, “I..is someone there?”.
There was no answer.
Ava was about to get out of the spring when the tall grass in the direction of her clothes started shaking, something was coming towards her and it was coming fast, Ava ducked down so only her eyes were peering out of the water and braced herself.
‘Is it a jaguar? Or maybe a crocodile?’ Ava’s mind raced with every worst case scenario.
Amoungst the thoughts of what animal might be about to kill her Ava thought about abandoning her modesty all together and making a naked run back to camp as fast as she could, it would be better to be embarrassed and alive after all.
Ava started to back up ready to make her escape but at the last moment a cute, furry, monkey came bundling out of the foliage with a playful look about itself.
Relief washed over Ava as she realised it was the cause of all the commotion, she stood up and walked towards the edge of the spring closest to the monkey.
“Wow you gave me a real scare there” she said to it with a chuckle.
The monkey walked around and beat at the ground before having its curiosity peeked by the pile of clothes laying by its feet, it picked up Ava’s shorts and started waving them about above its head, Ava watched on in awe and amazement, it was such a rare sight to see a wild monkey like this in its natural habitat.
Once the monkey got bored it jumped up into a tree above the spring, still holding Ava’s shorts.
