The Devils Price

Chapter 1

"Hurry up dear it's hatching now" Lucinda Constrictor called to her husband Carl
"Don't worry darlin' nothing bad will go wrong" Carl hissed as the egg shell hatched and a little green snout peeked out "Hello" Lucinda cooed to the little snake, the hatchling poked her entire head out and opened her eyes, 5 seconds later her mother screamed "MONSTER, DEVIL SNAKE, EVIL THING!", the hatchlings head was almost covered entirely with green scales but the top of her head was covered in red scales, her eyes were terrifying the area around her pupil was blood red "easy dear we'll easily get rid of her when she's older"
"HOW? NO-ONE WOULD WANT HER!"
"We're bounty hunters dear we can easily send off to 'catch' some outlaw who would simply kill her"
"Fine but we'll still have to name IT"
"How about something simple… Boa"
"FINE!"
17 years later…
"BOA!" Boa rolled her eyes at her fathers call
"What?"
"I've got a very special task for you, you're going to go and fetch this outlaw" he handed a 'Wanted' poster to Boa
"What? You're crazy he's the GRIM REAPER for turkey's sake"
"Don't talk to me like that GIRL"
Boa narrowed her eyes and slithered off and when she was in the middle of the desert she started talking to herself "Do this Boa, Do that Boa oh and while you're at it go a hunt Rattlesnake Jake down!" then she froze as she heard a chuckle
"It's the first sign of madness talking to yourself you know?" A small mourning dove came into view "I'm Blathers, who are you?" Boa thought for a moment, most mourning doves avoided snakes at all cost "I'm Boa, Boa Constrictor" Blathers small eyes widened
"As in the Constrictors the famous bounty hunters?" Boa nodded then smiled at Blathers "You know most doves tend to keep their distance from me" she pointed out, Blathers rolled his eyes "I'm referred as a weirdo at home, so nothing's new" Blathers thought for a moment "Did you say that you were sent to capture Rattlesnake Jake?" Boa nodded, Blathers scoffed "Please how much does your family hate you?"
"A lot"
"Well then if they've sent you after the most dangerous snake for miles by yourself they clearly want you dead!" Boa's eyes widened with shock
"I never thought about it that way, you're right! If I go get myself killed they won't care" Boa's eyes darkened "Bounty Hunters are they? Well I'm gonna give them something to hunt!
