"It's all right the snakes won't hurt you," Came a woman's voice. It her
arms was a baby girl with sparkling blue eyes. The snake that had just
passed the mother frightened the baby.
"Sue more of those things are coming, you take the baby and leave." Said a man who had just emerged from a bush.
The woman nodded and fled from the area, the baby in her arms. After five minutes hissing was heard all around the woman and the baby. A second later a giant snake emerged from a towering tree. The women screamed and the baby cried.
"Get away." The woman screamed. But it was too late the snake attacked her. The baby slipped from her grip and landed in the bush somewhere. Screams from the woman echoed through the vast jungle. The baby girl cried and cried, until it fell asleep.
The next morning the baby was put in strong arms, and safely taken to a nearby village. The arm that held the baby was a boy, around the age of fourteen. When the rest of the village came to see the baby. Every hut the boy passed, with the baby, a child's head poked out.
"Aden what is this?" Asked an eighteen-year-old boy. This boy seemed to be the one who ran the village.
"It's a baby girl, I found her dead mother. The snakes attacked her, but the baby wasn't harmed. Please let me raise her." Aden pleaded.
"Very well," said the other boy.
Aden smiled and took the baby girl to his own hut. A small silver glint cached his eye; he turned around to see a small bracelet on the baby's wrist. Aden walked over to examine it.
"Alice Cooper," He read. "What a nice name. Okay Alice it's time that you are fed."
Aden fed Alice, then bathed her, the put her to sleep. He fell onto his bed smiling, thinking on how he had a daughter. He started to think on how Alice would grow up.
