Chapter Eleven: The Deadly Poison
"How did you get in here, moussssse?" The snake asked Addie.
"Uhh. I tripped and fell, um, sir," Addie replied unsure of what to say. She noticed Mattimeo lying in the corner, either dead, or unconscious. She hoped he was just unconscious.
"Ssssso, moussssse, what do you want? Tell me before I get hungry," the adder said impatiently.
"Oh, I came to dispose of that mouse. Didn't you send for me? If not, I'll just leave."
"I did not send for anyone. Besides, he's not even dead. He just wouldn't shut-up, so I hit him. Also, I don't have any mice in my troops." The snake smiled evilly. At that second, Mattimeo came back to life. He moved slightly.
"Huh? Where am I?" the young mouse asked sleepily.
"Shut-up! I've had enough of you! I don't know why I didn't kill you in the firssssst place! I'll take care of you after I take care of your little friend." The snake turned around, and Addie was gone. Then he turned back around to Mattimeo, and he wasn't there, either. He heard the two mice running through the opening in the hole. "Catch thossssse mice!" The snake left the hole. Dozens of vermin were chasing the two mice.
"Hurry up, Mattimeo! They're right behind us!" Addie yelled to Mattimeo who was going extremely slow.
"Hmm.?"
"Matti!"
"Oh, OK." Mattimeo started to run faster. They were almost to the Abbey, when the giant adder slithered out from the bushes in front of him.
"You have essssscaped once, miccccce! You will never esssscape again!"
"Run, Matti! I've got him!" Addie tried to lift the sword, but it seemed much heavier than before. "Oh, crap!" Addie dropped the sword, and pulled out he dagger. She threw it right for the snake's open mouth. It hit a fang, cutting it slightly. Poison spluttered out. Addie took some in her hands, being careful not to splash it. She got her dagger and the sword and ran back to the Abbey.
Back at the abbey, Mattimeo was busy resting from the run, and cooling the lump on his head.
"Addie! You came back! Oh I was afraid you'd get killed!" Mattimeo went to give Addie a hug.
"Wait! Don't bump me! I have deadly poison! I'm going to make something to cure snake bites!" Addie walked off to an empty lab room. She mixed chemicals, and other stuff.
Mattimeo entered the room, "Will it work?"
"I'm not sure. There's really only one way to find out. I'll test it. But I think we should wait. In the mean time, let's get out there, and fight!" The two mice left the abbey, and ventured into Mossflower Woods.
"How did you get in here, moussssse?" The snake asked Addie.
"Uhh. I tripped and fell, um, sir," Addie replied unsure of what to say. She noticed Mattimeo lying in the corner, either dead, or unconscious. She hoped he was just unconscious.
