<div style="text-align: justify;">Diane was relieved to see that the gorilla didn't seem startled by her. That would definitely make her life easier when it came to recovering her phone. When the gorilla touched her hair, she tensed up for a moment, before noticing he was just curious. <span style="font-style: italic">Good</span>, she thought, <span style="font-style: italic">he won't hurt me, I guess.</span> It seemed that, as long as she behaved in a friendly manner, she would be safe around the gorilla. Naturally, she couldn't expect to be just as lucky with any other creature around.<br/><br/>Once her new friend started copying her motion, Diane waited patiently for him to enjoy the phone. She would have waited for as long as it took, had it not been for the roar of the leopard. Jumping to her feet, her eyes wide with fear, the girl started retreating slowly, not sure about how she would keep herself alive. She had never seen a leopard before outside a zoo, and definitely didn't know her surroundings. She knew her chances of survival were slim to none, but she still needed to try. Her survival instinct had kicked in, after all.<br/><br/>Not daring to stare at the leopard, she kept her eyes on its paws, making sure they kept to the ground, so she could anticipate and attack and try to dodge. If that was even possible, naturally.<br/><br/>She didn't need to, though, as something - or someone - grabbed her and took her with it - or him - into the water.<br/><br/>As she wasn't prepared, Diane could feel herself starting to drown, her lungs burning as her hands tried to hold on to the creature who had just saved her life. Looking at its face, she noticed it was a man. Her mind didn't really have much time to process that, though, as, either due to the water she was swallowing or due to the shock of nearly getting killed by a leopard, she dove into a sudden darkness, her eyes closing and her body going limp.</div>
