With Alénia-Her POV

I ran across the deck, and almost got skewered by a flying silver shuriken. "GAH! WATCH WERE YOU THROW THOSE THINGS!" I screamed, dodging it. I jumped over a small hole, then ducked under another shuriken. 'they're trying to KILL ME' a voice screamed in my head. 'shut up voice.' I ran over to my cousin, who was punching snakes left and right. I dodged a flying snake, who had a look of shock etched on his face. "YO, CUZ!" I yelled. "What, Alénia? Can't you see I'm a little occupied?" Cole replied, ducking a blow sent by a snake. "I have a plan! Or, at least Lloyd does. I need all the snakes to be herded into a room!" "uh, OK. YO, SNAKES!" Cole cried, punching a snake in the gut. "Get your slimy selves in that room!" he pointed to the end of the deck. I spotted two snakes, who were talking to themselves. "You go first." one nudged his friend. "No, you first." "No, YOU!" says the first and pushes his friend. Apparently too hard and in the wrong direction, since the second snake went flying over the edge. "WAAAAHH!" he screamed, hanging in the air for a second, then zooming downwards. I cracked up laughing. "Alénia! DUCK!" Jay screamed, tackling me. A sword swooshed over us. If Jay hadn't tackled me, I would have been decapitated. "oof, thanks." I muttered, shoving Jay off. "And Cole, SNAKES AREN'T SLIMY! THEIR SMOOTH AND SQUISHY" I yelled. Cole rolled his eyes and went back to fighting. I managed to herd 10 snakes into the room, the rest either over the edge or too tired to get up. "OKAY, LLOYD!" I yelled. Lloyd ran onto the deck. I pointed to the room where the snakes were. He ran into the room, and I heard duck tape getting torn. Then his plan entered my mind. "Brilliant!" I called, also running into the room. The ninja exchanged glances, then followed me.
