Chapter 2

The strange girl, that is called Lilly, was shivering. I put a blanket over Lilly and get her a hot chocolate. “ Are you sure you saw it” I ask. “Yes it was really tall and hissed so loudly”.

Thirty minutes later, we hear the snake again and we run out of my shop. We search for a place to go. I turn my head and see an abandoned school. “ Over here,” I call. We run inside.Then we search for a vending machine because we are hungry and thirsty. The door slams…

“ What was that?” Lilly questions. “ Just the wind, it is about to storm after all”. I reply. “ I’ll go check it out.” I tell her. I go to walk down the stairs when I see slimy gooey stuff on the stairs. I hear Lilly scream.

There I saw it, the snakemander attacking Lilly. I throw food to the other side of the room so that the snakemander would go get it. I grab Lilly and run and the snakemander slithers away. We sit on the floor whilst I see if Lilly is okay. I start walking Lilly home and we hear the hissing again. It starts coming towards us then there is a gunshot. We turn around and the Snakemander isn’t moving.   “ Is he dead?” I ask “ Only for 10 minutes tops,” comes a strange voice.
