So I read my last chapter and realize the underlining didn't show up SO I am going to try and put memories like this from now on ***** blah blah blah *****. I will tell you when a chapter has a memory. Sign language is still in italics and regular talking is still the same.

A matter I must address really quick, if people do NOT LIKE that my character is human, and I am pairing her with an ape then this isn't the story for you. If you think Koba is gaining feelings to quickly, this also isn't the story for you. The book and movie for this is very fast paced and so for my story to be able to turn timetables and prevent certain events this love must move quickly. I actually didn't think he was changing his feelings so quickly. This is why I think so, in the chapter I had that was his POV (did you folks like that by the way?) he was denying the little amount of feelings he had. The feelings that were in that chapter were not love or even like, it was a mutual respect that it seemed a human had gone through horrific trauma like he had. So, I would describe the feeling as he wasn't seeing her as a human anymore, he was viewing her as an ape in the fact that she is strong that she got through it.

Thank you for letting me rant a bit, now the chapter you have all been patiently waiting for!

In my mind I knew that going to mt colony wasn't a good idea. We need the electricity. And Dreyfus won't stop until he gets what he wants. Malcolm won't even stop, he sees it as helping his community which relies so much on him. I sigh as I know this is all about to be pointless and I just nod along to what Caesar says, not like I could argue with him.

I was happy that I would be with my family again soon also. While the apes have taken great care of me for the last almost 48 hours, I was just so used to Alex being here and chittering away about things. I wish I could see him. Or even talk out loud to him. I wish I could see the apes. See how they work so well together. Wanting to see this magnificent forest.

I wanted to sing.

I was so good at it in school, being head of choir and getting most of the lead roles in plays because of my voice. I missed the stained-glass windows at church as my vocals would bounce off the tall ceiling and descend back down.

After I got kidnapped and after the simian flu outbreak I always wondered what had happened to my mom and dad. They were never around much, but they were still my parents. And then Jason, I always wondered what had happened to him.

Maybe everything I once knew was gone.

I feel a tap on my right arm, and I face that direction and hear Koba's baritone voice again, "Bed."

I nod and turn around to slightly slide down the tall rock, still not used to all the nooks and crannies that were around me. I took me at least a year to get used to Alex's room itself, no less the rest of the house. As my feet hit the ground I feel the roughness of his palm hold my bicep as he leads me towards his hut, which I could have sworn was on the left side of the village last night but seems to have moved to the right.

We get through the entrance and he tries to do the thing from last night all over again, "You take bed, I take other side of hut."

I just glare at him and sign quickly, We share nest or we both take other side of hut. Better choose.

Koba huffs and growls slightly, "Get in nest you infuriating thing."

I climb in and lay down and wait for him to get in on the other side. But, as you can see, this is what I mean, I think he likes me when its just us and not everybody plus us.

I turn to lay flat on my back, not really being able to get comfortable this way either. I turn a few more times before I hear a huff of annoyance and just decide to settle on my stomach. I sigh, I still wasn't comfortable, and I was afraid it was going to be one of the nights where I don't sleep a lick.

I open my eyes and just stare off into space, there wasn't a point either way in closing them or keeping them opened. I thought about the dam and how it would change life once again. I wondered if we would continue and try to contact other humans. Or if we would just stay in solitude.

I wondered if Alex would ever meet a girl and then snorted in laughter at the thought, he would have to talk to one first. I also wondered if a guy would ever like me enough to be with me. As my thoughts start to get overwhelming I can feel my brain start to get tired and force my eyes close. I oblige and drift off to sleep with my thoughts still running through my mind.
