Some people in the world believe that the wildlife can only only exist in... well the wild. Most don't think about that it can be lurking in your neighborhood. Or even closer like your own backyard. Some can't stand it at all, could just hate nature completely. But it doesn't matter how you feel for nature is all around and will find it's way to you.
And if you are lucky you can make the rarest of encounters. One human that lived in a quiet little neighborhood made such an encounter.

Upon waking up in the early hours of the morning, a 17 year-old man got up and dressed for a walk in the jungle that was showing through his kitchen window. His name was Harry and he lived alone in his home, though he would go on walks occasionally to not be bored or alone. The jungle was just his, and only on his property; no one else owned it. He made himself some coffee as he got dressed for a day in his jungle. As he finished dressing he took a look in the mirror and smiled as he was sporting a blue floral pattern button down, along with cargo shorts and a safari hat. None of the other neighbor pay attention to Harry, as they find it quite strange for someone to have a forest as their backyard. "I hope that today isn't going to be awkward." Harry then grabbed a mug and poured the coffee as he looking out towards his special place, he watched as he sipped the coffee. "Welp, time to go." He put the empty mug down and put a few bottles of water into his pack and was off.
Upon entering the jungle, Harry couldn't feel more happy. He walked along his favorite path, that featured a small stream not too far. "Ahhhh...The shade is always nice from the sun." Harry walked, looking and taking in everything that he could see as he fished out a water bottle and drank it.

Down the trail, deeper in the jungle lived an animal man had yet to truly lay eyes on. Kaamila the lamia should only exist in fairytales but she was very real. What humans didn’t know is they would live in massive jungles to hide from unwanted prying eyes. But with man destroying landscapes to make cities, all animals have to adapt.
And the same was for Kaamila. She has to make home in this smaller forest. She had long black hair, a blue tail and matching colored cover on her chest. Today was a quiet day as Kaamila just hung around. Her home was small and not too many other big animals to play with.

As Harry began to venture deeper into jungle, he was slowly but surely taking everything in that he could; the sights and the smells. After sometime of sightseeing, he finished the water bottle and put it back into his pack. He then stopped at a nearby tree to rest for a couple minutes before continuing, what he didn't know that there were mythical creatures residing in the jungle. "Hmmmm...I wonder what'll occur if I go deeper in." Harry never explored deeper into the jungle, due to being busy and not having enough free time. He shrugged it off like it was no big deal and ventured into the deeper parts of the jungle.
Eventually, while he was walking deeper; he began to think of what he might find. "I might find just normal or some exotic species." Harry fished out another bottle and drank that to keep himself from getting dehydration, since the heat caused the humidity to be high in the deeper parts of the jungle. After a while, he came to a clearing that was mostly covered with bushes and plants; but one thing stood out behind the vegetation. It was a small home/cottage.

Inside the cottage, Kaamila was trying to entertain herself to some manner since she was dying of boredom. So she did some cleaning. The house had been abandoned a long time ago. So when Kaamila found it, it still was standing fine and only needed a little TLC. It was simple in interior decorating but Kaamila didn't need much.
But as she swept the floor with her tail she paused as she noticed something out of the corner of her eye outside the window.

As Harry got near the home, he was uncertain of what to find in there. He was a good 22 ft away from the doorway, but he saw someone in the window; and boy was she pretty. Harry didn't get a full view of her, as he was certain that she had saw him. He quickly hid behind the vegetation, hoping that he wouldn't be seen. One thing was for certain, that he wasn't staring.

Funny thing, at the same time Kaamila moved away from the window hoping that the person hasn't seen her tail. She wasn't scared but last she wanted was some human running away, i'll just make a fuss for her.
"Curious. What's a human doing here in the forest? I wonder what type he is, the curious and brave? Or the bold and dumb? We will see soon enough?"

Harry stayed hidden behind the vegetation for a good 5 minutes. After those 5 minutes, he quickly poked his head out to see if she was still there. But she wasn't, which was a call for him to push foreward. "Ok, I wonder where she went." Harry silently proceeded his move, making sure that he was out of sight. Was this girl real or was it just his imagination? He wasn't quite sure on which one to believe, not yet anyways. Harry tried to not make a sound that would get her attention.

Kaamilla was keeping watch patiently, seeing him hesitate for a good while and now was proceeding slowly. But it also looked like he was trying to stay hidden. Instead of waiting for him to come all the way, she decided to give a new tactic a try.
"Who's there?" she called from inside. "I know your out there. What are you doing out here?"

Harry didn't want to sound stupid and stay hidden for too long, so he decided to calmly come out from the vegetation. "Hello there, sorry if I intruded; I was just wandering through this jungle that was on my property." He thought about putting his hands up, but thought otherwise. Harry calmly stood still, and made his presence know to the girl. "I didn't know that somebody was living out here." Harry began to think of whether he should return back home or stay near the home. "I think I should return to my place now...Bye now miss, and you have a wonderful day." He turned his body in the opposite direction and began walking, but a feeling in his gut was taking over his advances.

"No you don't have to leave. I don't mind, I don't get visitors out here. In fact you can come in." Kaamila keeps out of sight as she turns the nob of the door opening it a crack to show her invite.

Harry stopped in his tracks and turned to see the door to the home open just a tad. "Oh, well that must seem awful that you don't get much company." He marches foreward toward the opened door, showing a light shone in on the floor of the small home. "It must be hard living all alone in here, isn't it?" Harry pushes the door slightly, just enough to get inside. "So...Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Harry, and what's yours; if I may ask?" He shut the door behind him, turning around to see the interior of the place and wondering who and what the mysterious figure is. "You have got a magnificent home, while it is small but its tidy and clean." Harry looked around, while still waiting to see the owner of the home.

"A fine name you have, but you might think mine is strange." As she said that she came out for the boy to see her, all of her. Her long tail covered a fair amount of the room. She had lived in it long enough to know how to maneuver her own cottage without worry of bumping or knocking over stuff. "My name is Kaamilla."

Harry's ears picked up the sound of the voice and saw a sight that he will not unsee. The girl's features were just so beautiful to see, her long black hair; as well as her tail. "Nice to meet you K-Kaamila." He had a bit trouble speaking the name, but slowly got it and repeated it a couple times in his head. " Yes, your name is a bit hard to say for any first timers." Harry took some time taking in everything that was happening around him. " But now since I repeated it a few times, I can say it just fine now....Kaamila." He found a chair and pulled it closer to him and sat down, as he had a long day outside.

"I must say I'm surprised. Most humans who lay their eyes on a lamia would be trying to get away as fast as they could. Stumble and all. But you are still here. Did even give a shout. Just having a seat. Or are you so shocked by my beauty your legs can no longer hold you up?"
