Snakemander continued…

Chapter 4 

I try to drag Lilly out but the snakemanders body is covering the way out.The diamond egg was glowing. It was so bright it almost blinded me. The snakemander hisses.        “ Your ok,” Lilly whispers “ I’m not here to hurt you.” I can tell Lilly was trying to hide her fear.

The snakemander turns his head quickly.The snakemanders eyes were bright red. It lets out a whimper.” Don’t be scared we won’t hurt you.” says Lilly being reassuring. I turn and look at Lilly. She looks back at me.She holds out her arms.The snakemander goes closer to Lilly. Every movement she makes he copies.

“OK follow me” says Lilly walking backwards to make sure the snakemander is following her. They get out of the cave and the snakemander tries to bow for her.

I sigh with relief.The snakemander goes back into its cave to keep the diamond egg safe.

It is dawn, I haven’t talked to Lilly at all.There is no noise at all other than the sound of the waves. “ We can’t keep being quiet. What is wrong? Asks Lilly. “ You put us both in danger just then anything could’ve happened. The snakemander could’ve killed us”.I shout. “But it didn’t.” Lilly exclaims. I roll my eyes. Lilly just goes on and on about how we can’t tell anyone. We come up with a plan. Some people know about the snakemander so we just need to tell everyone to keep them off the beach so he doesn’t get disturbed.

By the time we are almost back, we see Mandy setting up chairs out the front of The Steamin Mugs Cafe.We tell everyone we see about the snakemander and stick posters on every shop window and lampposts.At the end of the day, Lilly and I already given out 5000 posters. “ Do you think this will keep everyone off the beach?” asks Lilly. “ Hopefully I reply.

I look for my keys, to open up my Sweet Shop Galore, I get  all of the sweets and into the storage cupboard. . I install curtains to make it dark. “ What is this for?” asks Lilly. “ Wait and see.” I say.

I go out, back to where the snakemander lives. Lilly sneaks out and follows me. I catch a glimpse of Lilly. “ What are you doing here?” I shout. “ Wondering what you were doing,” she replies. “I’m getting the snakemander and its egg to my shop so that it is safe.” I exclaim.

They get to the end where the snakemander lives and sees a man. “ Umm… Hello!” Violet and I say at the same time. “Oh hello Lilly and Joy,” Says the anonymous man.” How do you know our names and who are you?” Questions Lilly. “ I made the snakemander. Have you not thought about how he attacked Lilly and is now being nice to her.Oh and my name is Lenny Reinhart. “That is my last name, are you my dad?”asks Lilly. “Yes,” says Lenny.

Later they talk.Our adventure isn’t over. It will go on.
