Here's Chapter 2. I hope you enjoy.

As I watched the other Serpentine converse while the Constrictai was still holding me in place, I heard one mention a bite. I started to get a little nervous, as I wouldn't be able to return home if a Fangpyre bit me and I didn't know if it would turn me into a proper-ish Serpentine or a full-out snake. My friends, if they were here, probably wouldn't recognise me either. I started to think about the other side of things, that other side being I could possibly end up with a better life. I could have a Serpentine family, and get a better knowledge of their species than I could ever get as a normal person.

While I was thinking about such things, the group of Serpentine had come to a decision. One of the Fangpyre gestured for the Constrictai to bring me over. I squirmed a little bit while I was being moved, as it was uncomfortable constantly brushing against the Constrictai's scales.

Finally, a Serpentine spoke, addressing the Constrictai by name. "Bytar, any objections to biting him?"

"None, Mezmo." They had their common Serpentine accents, which would've been funny if I wasn't slightly terrified.

Mezmo looked at Fang-Suei, the Fangpyre closest to me. "Would you like to do the honors?"

"Gladly, Mezmo." Fang-Suei grabbed my arm, moving it towards his mouth, but then….

A voice came from close-by. "Don't make any sudden moves, you wouldn't want to get shocked, would you?" Some of the Serpentine instantly froze, slowly turning to face the source of the voice: Jay.

Another voice came, this time that of a girl. I clearly recognized the voice: Hannah. "You're surrounded." As I looked around, we were truly surrounded. The Ninja had formed a circle around the Serpentine and therefore me.

Suddenly, the Serpentine moved behind me, Fang-Suei putting a knife to my throat. "Step closer and he… Well, I'm going to assume you know what'll happen."

Hannah as well as the Orange and Yellow ninjas gasped, taking off their hoods.

"Lucas?" Hannah asked, wanting to rush over and hug me but at the same time feeling the gravity of the situation.

"Hi Hannah, hi Em, hi Megan…" I was beginning to sweat, preferring getting bit over death. Fang-Suei must've read my thoughts, as he suddenly bit my arm and threw the knife at Hannah before pulling me into a tunnel Bytar was making.

"LUCAS!" Hannah, Emily, and Megan rushed to the tunnel followed by the rest of the ninja. Eventually, everything got much harder to see, so I had no idea where we were going and could barely tell that the changes were already beginning to happen.

Sorry about another cliffhanger, but I'm trying to make it seem like an actual episode. See you next chapter!
