Johnny: and this shouldn't come as a surprise anymore but her regular computer is back at Dell for more service. so it was natural she forget.
Tala: Anyways we like to thanks Beywriter and Grandma Tsunade for previous reviews.
Ian: And Lirin still does NOT own Beyblade or us, she just likes to abuse us...mostly me too. Oh and lastly there is more snakes mentioned so consider this your warning.
Chapter 9: First Signs of the Lord
Jess was unaware of the findings the boys made in the morning, but even still she barely felt well that day. She was just writing it off as the baby and laid in bed with a book and her game systems.
Johnny stayed by her side all day, except when he went down to get them some food. During the quiet afternoon he was even able to catch up on some sleep and become more tolerable towards Tala and Ian.
The Demolition Boys spent their day searching of information on this Snake Lord Ian was told about.
They had spend a good potion of their search on the computer. And found little, but it was still something.
The Snake Lord was an Earthbound demonic being, who was known for his killings, much like other demons of the Earth. It was worshiped as a god being and giving daily sacrifices to keep it pleased. But after many young females were given as victims the population of the people dwindled and the people began to revolt against their 'God'.
The gaint snake went on a rampage killing everyone in it's path, the blood never pleasing its appetite. And for decades it went unopposed.
The creature was in the mists of wiping out another tribe, when a Shaman approached it. He made a deal with the creature and when he had won it, he sealed the creature deep within the Earth never to be risen again.
There was no data on how the Shaman sealed it away, or the exact location, but it must have been under this house. So for now they were at a stand still on their research.
XxXxXx
It was around 4PM when Jess woke from a nap gasping in pain. She could feel something moving in her and knew it was not the baby. This new movement was in her arm and moving up towards her neck.
She cried in pain and grabbed her arm, but the motion from under it forced her to quickly moving it away and scream louder...this time from fright.
Johnny woke up and Tala and Ian ran into the room to see what was up. Jess was crying and shaking her head.
"Hime what is it?" Johnny asked pulling her into a hug. "What's wrong?"
"Arm" she cried and buried her head into his neck.
The boys glanced at each other before Johnny looked at the pale arm. Clear as day he saw a small bump moving in an S-shape pattern. Tala and Ian looked over too and saw it.
"It's growing...merging" Ian said. It was just as the creatures in the toilet had said.
"We've got to stop it" Johnny said. "Get a knife, tweezers and bandages. We'll pull the thing from her before it's too late."
Ian run out to his room and grabbed his pocket knife and stopped in the bathroom for the tweezers and first aid box kept in there. He was back a few seconds later.
"Ian, we're going to hold her, you get it out" Tala explained while Johnny tried to calm the panic stricken girl.
"It's alright Hime," he whispered stroking her hair. "We're going to get it out. Don't worry about anything."
His words fell on dead ears, as Jess continued to cry and shake her head. She could feel the thing going closer to her neck. "Stop it...stop it..." she chanted digging her nails into the Scotsman own arm.
"We will" he promised.
Tala sat on the bed on the other side of Jess and joined in her hair stroking. "It's going to be alright, Jess" he said. "Calm down and this will be over soon. I'm going to hold your hand now."
Jess felt Tala's cool touch grab her hand and upper arm as he pulled it further from her.
More pressure was added to the bed when Ian knelled by the Wolf and held the knife open.
"Do it fast then get rid of the thing" Johnny told Ian.
The young Russian took a deep breath and Jess whimpered. The thing was almost completely up her arm before the cool knife connected with her skin and a quick slash was made.
Jess gasped in pain and squeezed the life from Tala's hand, but did not scream. She found the pain more tolerable then having the slithering creature within her.
Everyone waited for the creature to move closer to the wound. Johnny knew it was torture for the girl, but it would be the least painful. Little by little it inched closer to the bleeding gap.
"Now" Tala ordered seeing the first signs of its head. Ian acted quickly and grabbed the things head and pulled it out.
It wiggled and squirmed trying to get free or find something to wrap around. Ian was amused by the red beast and held it higher.
"Get it out of here you dolt" Johnny barked seeing the midget was not leaving to dispose of the thing.
Tala was making fast work on cleaning the cut and wrapping it with a bandage. And Jess was still crying with her face turned towards Johnny chest.
"You're no fun" Ian grumbled as he again left the room.
"It's okay now, Hime. It's gone" Johnny said trying to sooth her. "There's nothing more to worry about now."
"We should probably take her to the ER and get that properly treated. Ian's cut was clean, but its going to be better for a professional to treat it."
"Hm." Johnny sat stroking his crying girlfriend's hair. "Tal, do you think this will be the last we see of these things?"
"For Jess's sake I hope so. But I highly doubt it."
"My poor Hime. Even when we try and hide from one danger, another, more threatening, finds us. I don't think we'll see this baby of ours alive."
"Johnny..."
The Scotsman shook his head. "Never mind. Let's get Hime the help she needs."
Johnny picked Jess up off the bed and found that she had cried herself to sleep with the tears still coming. He didn't doubt that her dreams were already making her relive this newest trauma.
Lirin: Okay that was gross. I still find it hard to believe i really dreamed this up. What was my mind on when I did? Oh well.
Johnny: Please review people. at least drop a message and remind Lirin is was only a dream and wont happen in reality. Thanks
