Chloe

  Day 1

''Woo hoo! We get to go on a cruise with Josephine’s family!! ''

-Chloe's diary entry for Day 1

Chloe is excited about the cruise. She and her best friends Josephine, Joshua and her brother Christian  play in the game arcade, play pranks on the maids, wear fancy clothes and eat. After an exhausting day, they go to sleep. In the middle of the night, they are suddenly woken up by Josephine who senses a storm outside, they quickly grab their clothes and get to the life boats as the alarms start blaring.

''We rushed into our cabins and collected our stuff. We tossed them into a life boat and rowed out. Just as we rowed out, the alarms started blasting out different noisy, irritating noises. We rowed away fast. As my eyes got heavy, I looked one last time at the cruise ship sinking. To my surprise, no one was screaming. No one was pushing each other to get to the lifeboats. They probably thought it was a drill. Either that, or they simply never heard.''

I looked one last time, at the sinking Royal Princess Cruise ship, and drifted off into a deep slumber.

Day 2
''As I woke up, I felt the warmth of the sun on my back and the breeze of the ocean. ''

-Extract from Chloe's diary Day 2

As Chloe wakes up, she spots a small green blob on the horizon, and is about to shout but as usual, Josephine, age 13 in 2015, the oldest of the group, is one step ahead of her and shouts ''"An Island! Land Ahoy!" ''As they rowed their trusty little life boat to shore, everyone marveled at the sight. As the parents started unpacking, Chloe and her friends start to build sand castles and have sandball fights.

''When we finished helping our parents, us kids played on the beach. We built exquisite sandcastles with moats that connected with the ocean and sand ball fights. Sand ball fights are practically snow ball fights except with wet sand. you can't play sand ball fights without water since your sand needs to be wet to make a ball. (What Christian ? Just because I know that you need water to make sand balls, doesn't mean I know the name of the 3rd prime minister of Australia! Now, back to the story...)''

-Chloe's diary entry

Soon, everyone start playing with water and are soon soaked and laughing hysterically. As they were playing, to Chloe's surprise, everyone taught everyone something as Josephine taught the group how to see in the dark, Joshua  how to make our hearing sharper and Christian  taught us how to swim as fast as a shark and Chloe taught everyone how to run faster.

Since the parents requested their help the boys marched into the towering jungle to collect food as the girls all did the housework. As the boys came back, the girls got the campfire going and they all sat down and ate heartily, they roasted nuts and berries over the campfire and sang songs and told stories while and occasional laugh would pop up somewhere.

After Chloe ate, they sat down to watch the sunset and watched as the bright colours streak ahead.

''We decided to look at the sunset first. It was breathtakingly beautiful! Orange, yellow and purple combinations streaked the sky with colour as a semicircle of yellow colour sank beneath the horizon.''

As my eyelids closed, I wondered how we would ever get back to our home.

-Closing sentence for Chloe's diary Day 2

Day 3
Early in the morning, Chloe and her friends entered the jungle to play their favourite animals, the tiger, the wolf, the eagle and the shark. but little did they know that they'd been watched as they drifted away from each other, Chloe roared ferociously. She seemed surprised and wrote later in her diary saying, ''Wow, that was the greatest roar I've ever heard Chloe! Well done! ''

She is about to walk away when she sees a pair of bright yellow eyes staring at her from the jungle. She spotted more yellow eyes multiple times is very panicked now. Than, altogether, they all started toward Chloe.

''I glanced over the horizon. I froze un-expectantly. Two yellow eyes glared out of the jungle at me, wait, there was two, wait, three, no four! They're everywhere! I looked around. I suddenly saw a mane of golden fur. Uh oh! You need to get out of here Chloe! Now! I commanded myself. I turned toward the jungle. I spotted a yellow coat with black spots on them. No, no, no, no and no! Why is this happening?! Then, suddenly, as if on cue, they started toward me. (Excuse me? I did not deserve a slow death Christian! Just you wait 'till I get my hands on you after I finish telling the tale! You will wish you had never been born so be warned!)''

''"Aaah!" I screamed.''

-Chloe spotting the yellow eyes in Day 3

The tiger named Idris then explained to Chloe that she was actually the Princess of the Jungle/Grasslands and the Wild Cats! Chloe, scared and frightened, runs away to go back to camp, but not before she hears Idris, the leader say to meet her at the same place at night. Sensing that the tiger was honest, she agrees, though she does not show this in the book. She has a moment when about to sleep and comments on the stars before drifting off to an aimless sleep.

"I thought of all these mysterious events as I stared at the twinkling stars above me. They looked brighter than usual when I saw them in the city as the pollution from the city prevented me from seeing it. I rethought everything over quickly before I succumbed to the drowsiness, pulling down my eyelids as I glanced at the bright white balls of gas, far, far away from me and my island."

-Chloe at the end of the day Day 3



Day 4
At the beginning of day four, Chloe comments about the night where she met the tigers and says that Idris explained that eventually, they would find a leader that would pull them towards her that was described as a "strong magnetic force," an that she was the fiercest of the whole "cat" family. Chloe, not knowing how to react to this information, doubts this, saying that it can't be her because she was a simple, shy girl that is always blending in the background. Idris calmly rebukes this, causing Chloe to snap and scream at Idris, resulting in a tantrum like meltdown. Idris then lectures her, which causes to annoy Chloe and question Idris why her parents never told her this. Idris in turn explains that her parents didn't think that she had that gene as they themselves never had that gene, but the gene does not just stop, but actually was in them, but very faint, just that Chloe's was stronger.

Chloe still does not believe Idris, causing Idris to prompt her to "phase" into a tiger. Chloe reluctantly agrees, before trying, she mutters "Here goes for nothing!" but succeeds instead. She then is thrown into a temper of hysteria, saying that her parents would probably either faint, or try to kill her, but admits to herself that she is "kind of" beautiful. Following Idris' instructions, she manages to change back to her human form to check if it worked. Despite herself, she wills herself to phase again into a cheetah to travel back but once again, before she was out of earshot, Idris once again calls out to her to "come back her tomorrow." Chloe, betraying herself agrees willingly and changes back to a human when she reaches camp.

Knowing that she could trust her friends with her secret, Chloe consults her friends and finds out that they all can do the same thing, thus making them fellow rulers of the animals.

The rest of the day was spent discussing their powers and shape shifting and when she is about to drift off into a slumber, she says: "something strange has happened to us."

"They told me about the prophecy about a girl that would pull them towards her with a magnetic force with a pull so great that she would not even know about and a roar so ferocious and real that that roar would startle even the fiercest of the cat family. (Ha! See Christian? I am fiercer than the fiercest of the wild cats! Mwa ha ha ha! Ok, got a bit over excited ther, back to the story...) I was astonished. I was flabbergasted. Who? Me? Princess of the Jungle? No way! I was a nobody. A simple, mere, unnoticed frail girl being a Princess of the Jungle? How can this be? I have never been on this island! I only came to this island 3 days ago.

-Chloe on her vulnerability and unnoticed nature Day 4.

Day 5
Waking up, Chloe hears the sound of tigers growling, but after consulting her friends, everybody heard different soundds, made by their animals. Later, she hears Idris' voice in her head, telling her to come to the river tomorrow and reminds herself that tomorrow is today. She asks her friends if they are going and they say they're not sure. Christian then asks them if they have accepted the fact that they are half animal half human and calls a Blue Shark named Jaws. Chloe then answers not really and so does Josephine, but after thinking about it in her mind, she decides yes along with Josephine and Joshua agrees to, and he says it so loudly that even their parents could hear. Chloe then decides to cover it up with a ploy, saying that there were juicy watermelons while glaring at Joshua for giving something secret away, not knowing that Joshua was not good at recognizing cover ups and sarcasm.

Joshua responds well to the ploy considering that he has no idea whatsoever is going on and shouts: "WHERE? WHERE IS IT?!"

Chloe winks at Joshua, trying to indicate to Joshua that it was a trick, but Joshua just looks at her confusedly and asks, "What's wrong with your eye huh Chloe?"

Chloe could've shape shifted right there but their parents were looking at them strangely so she withheld her anger and stalked into the jungle.

Chloe then decides to yet again cover it again, saying "Come on guys. Let's go play."

Looks
Chloe is described to look pretty much like her best friend with onyx black hair, white porcelain skin and big dark brown eyes with long lashes. Whenever she or Josephine walked past, boys would usually stop and stare or wolf whistle in appreciation. Chloe is unusually graceful, usually making ballerina jealous at her gracefulness as her toes are unnaturally pointed and walks with her back straight, her head held high, her arms softly at her side.

''"Yeah, I like you..." Then he blushed and groaned, putting his face in his hands.''

-Caleb to Chloe on if he likes her on Day 8

Bow and Arrows:
Chloe's Bow and Arrows were given to her by Idris, the leader of the wild cats on Day 6. Chloe's Bow and Arrows would never miss a target and would come to her hands when summoned. She had infinite arrows and the bow was made of ivory.

''"Chloe, come forward." Idris commanded.''

''I was handed something wrapped in a linen cloth. I carefully opened it, and inside, staring at me [well not really staring]...WAS MY VERY OWN BOW AND ARROW!! Idris explained in my mind that it would never miss a target that I wanted to shoot and that I would never run out of arrows! And whenever I wanted it, it would appear in my hands! Whoa!''

-Chloe on her Bow and Arrows in Day 6.

Dress:
Chloe's dress was sewed by herself which was very hard work on Day 8. It was a mixture of red orange and yellow blended together with tiny flowers and lightning bolts around it. It was very pretty and she sewed until her fingers hurt.

''We sewed 'till our fingers hurt and held the dresses up. I gasped as I saw the exquisite patterns and the colours blending together. My one was red orange and yellow like the sunset and had tiny flowers and lightning bolts around it.''

-Chloe on the dresses on Day 8.

The Jungle and all the wild cats:
Chloe, as Princess of the Jungle and Wild Cats, would technically own all of the above stated.

Lightning:
When Chloe was trying to defeat a grizzly bear that attacked a lynx on Day 9 when she had a gut feeling and pointed to the sky, then at the bear. Then, the grizzly bear twitched and turned with difficulty and finally lay still. Although not yet mentioned in the book, when it says Chloe's eyes were blazing, there was actually miniature lightning bolts in her eyes and electricity around her crackling.

''"Then who do I have the honour of arguing with?" I snapped, my voice sarcastic, my eyes blazing and my fists balled. I heard electricity crackling around me and my eyes giving off this electric gaze. I could tell he was startled.''

''"Your eyes!" He gasped. "They have bolts of lightning!"''

-Chloe's description of herself.

Family
Chloe as most people, loved her family. Although they got into fights mostly verbally, they would still get along fine. Chloe was probably closest to her brother as Christian was also a Prince of a Domain (which is the ocean). In her diary, she does not really or clearly have a good relationship with her dad as her dad is not used probably in the book much. Her mum is there in Day 8 battling in a heated arguement with Caleb (a person that likes Chloe) who saw Chloe change into a tiger in Day 8. Luckily, her mum is not convinced of Caleb's "So called hallucination".

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">''"Sorry but you are NOT allowed to go into my daughter's tent!" I heard my mother arguing as I awoke from my slumber. A long pause sounded and I heard bits of Caleb's voice. My mother paused. "Sorry but I don't care if you become king or much less care that your hallucinating that my daughter was changing into a tiger and a cheetah!"''

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">-Chloe's mum in a heated arguement with Caleb about Chloe's shape shifting on Day 8

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">''"Have you guys accepted the fact that we have animal blood in our veins, 'cos we totally have!" Christian yelled as he ran to the beach and kicked his feet into the water. Almost instantly, a shark appeared and he bumped his fist to its nose and whined, well, at least I thought it whined...''

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">-Christian to Chloe on Day 5

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">''"AAAH!" Christian screamed. "I CAN'T GET BACK TO HUMAN FORM!" (And yes brother dear, you DID scream your head off so there!)''

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">''"Only I can do that you duffa!" I said in distress. (And being a good sister, I only called him a duffa, not the other creative nasty not-so-nice words I had created, so consider yourself lucky to have such a KIND sister Christian!)''

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify;">-Chloe's reply on Day 5

Friends
Josephine was by far the best friend Chloe had in her whole life. Going on a cruise together, getting stranded on an island together and finding out that they have animals blood in their veins together, yep, pretty much the closest friend of all time. Since they were both girls, they seemed to have a closer bond together and did most things together such as search for a good tree to build a house in after a flood came and knocked down their makeshift huts in Day 7

''So off we went as we examiined and scrutineered each tree carefully. Some of them were too flimsy, others were too crooked. Suddenly, Josephine walked toward something in the distance. ''

''"Where ya going?" I asked.''

''"I think this tree will do." she said.''

''I stared at the tree and looked at it in awe. It was a sturdy tree with foot holds so you knew where you could put your hands and feet and a nice branch and crook so we could build it.''

''"Holy trees, this is the one!" I replied looking at it in awe. (Yes, a very good pun, I noticed Christian. how nice of you to notice!)''

''"Amen sister." Josephine said, eyes still fixated on the tree.''

Josephine and I walked around it looking at the tree in every point of view.

<p style="text-align:justify;">''"You okay with this one Josie?" I asked.''

<p style="text-align:justify;">"Yep, 100% sure. How 'bout you?"

<p style="text-align:justify;">''"Ditto." I answered.''

<p style="text-align:justify;">"Let's head back."

<p style="text-align:justify;">-Chloe talking to Josephine about the trees on Day 7

Chloe was on pretty good terms with Joshua, though he tended to give innocent comments to Chloe, who had a very bad temper. One time, he did it, Chloe was so angry, she stalked into the jungle and shape shifted at once!

''"But I will. I swear that I will accept having tiger blood in my veins from now on." I whispered.''

''"So do I!!" Joshua shouted.''

''"Wow! what great watermelons! I think we should all go eat some yummy watermelons!" I exclaimed loudly as I glared daggers at Joshua for saying that statement so loud that even our parents heard.''

Joshua didn't seem to see me glaring at him but instead shouted, "WHERE? WHERE IS IT?!"

At least he played the watermelon thing like nothing happened.

''I winked at Joshua, indicating it was a trick. He looked at me confusedly.''

''"What's wrong with your eye huh Chloe?" Joshua asked innocently.''

''Grr! I growled in my mind. I would have shape shifted into a lion if not for our parents standing in front of us. Lucky for him, or I would have torn his throat our!''

''"Come on guys, let's go play." I said with mock enthusiasm''

<p style="text-align:justify;">"Come on! Let's go play hunt the teddy! Joshua said like a little kid.

<p style="text-align:justify;">''Are you for real? I wanted to yell to Joshua but that would've earned me another innocent comment so I just swallowed my anger and stalked into the jungle.''

<p style="text-align:justify;">As soon as I got into the jungle, I shape shifted into a tiger in a flash and growled ferociously at Joshua.

<p style="text-align:justify;">-Chloe to Joshua because of his innocent (and dumb) behaviour (jokes about being dumb).

Romantic
Caleb was the ONE AND ONLY love interest Chloe ever had. On Day 8, he accidently spilt that he like Chloe.

''"You mean, that I like the Princess of the Jungle and the wild cats?" He gasped. "Oops! he covered his mouth. (Yes Christian, he said it out loud, now be quiet!)''

''"So," I whispered breathlessly. "You like me?" (Stop it Christian! Oh fine! I'll admit!) You see, I guess even though Caleb was a bit infuriating, over a bit of time, he had become endearing, seeing him like this, my heart leaped for joy, but as for my brother, he looked like a little kid at Christmas when he saw Christiana. (Oh stop it! You did! Stop denying the facts little bro! Denial equals love!) Okay, so where was I?''

''As I was saying, I was a little sweet on Caleb, and he looked like he wanted to dig a hole and die! (What? Stop interrupting the story! I was there and you weren't! I wasn't exaggerating!)''

Still no answer from the macho guy.

''"You were saying?" I asked.''

''"Don't kill me if I say this but..." he trailed off and blushed. (Oh stop it! Of course he would! My brother was just saying who could fall for me? The little liar!)''

''"Yeah, I like you..." Then he blushed and groaned, putting his face in his hands.''

Personality
Chloe was the second oldest in the group, she was 13 years at that time in 2015 and her signature animal was the tiger, which she was very similar to for she had a terrible temper when angry. She tended to be very violent when emotionally angry and sarcastic when nervous, but could be bright and bubbly as well as caring and kind. It is also known that Chloe could be funny and loved to tease her brother and kept getting interrupted by him. She could get annoyed by her brother alot and got into lots of verbal and physical fights before the cruise but still loved him dearly. Her personality was not like her best friend Josephine's as Chloe was not at all sensible.

(What? Even you screamed Christian so I would NOT be talking if I were you!)

-Chloe getting interrupted by her 11 year old brother Christian.

It was also known that Chloe had mental breakdowns when she learnt of her position in the tiger pack and would lacerate other people with her sharp tongue when angry and in a heated arguement. She would argue for hours not backing down for she said "Backing down is a sign of weakness" although we never really hear her say that. She could be rude when she was angry and shouted when frustrated.

"DO YOU KNOW WHAT I HAVE BEEN THROUGH ALL YEAR? DO YOU EVEN GET THAT I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO GO BACK TO MY HOME? THIS IS SOME UNKNOWN ISLAND TO MANKIND! YOU CAN'T JUST BARGE INTO MY PERSONAL LIFE AND DECLARE ME PRINCESS OF THE JUNGLES AND WILD CATS!"

-Chloe screaming at Idris, leader of the pack

Chloe was also very stubborn. She would have her way once you got her to do something and she would not back down.
