Chapter Fifteen: The Attempt
The giant adder decided on one thing: to kill Matthias and the rest who tried to stop him on his own. He would tell the vermin to leave that Matthias was killed, then go in to the abbey himself and kill him. Him, his son, and their little friend. The next day.
"All of you, go home! The debt hasssss been paid. My revenge hasssss taken form, and Matthiasssss and hisssss friendsssss are dead. Now go home, all of you!" The adder lied to his army. A loud bunch of murmurs could be heard.
"Why didn' I get to kill 'im?"
"Whatsa the point of bein' 'ere?"
"Good ol' home, 'ere I come!"
There was the sound of packing, and leaving. The giant snake smiled evilly, that is, if snakes could smile. The snake slithered off towards the abbey. "You will die, moussssse!"
"The snake approaches!" yelled a mouse on guard duty. "Matthias and Abbot, come quick!" The old Abbot and Matthias came up to the ramparts, followed by Addie and Mattimeo. "The snake comes from the road, sir."
"Ah, I see. Matthias, take Addie and Mattimeo down to Great Hall," the Abbot ordered. He winked. Matthias knew what that meant. The three left. "Hellooo, down there!" the abbot yelled to the snake who just arrived at the gate. The adder ignored him. He continued to slither around the building. The Abbot shrugged his shoulders, and left.
Matthias was getting suited up for battle, and helping Addie and Mattimeo, too, when the Abbot came in.
"The snake left, you can take the armor off," the Abbot reported to the mice.
"Thank you, sir." The three mice took off their armor.
On the other side of the abbey, the giant snake was doing something that the others had no idea about, until.
"Ahhh! Snake in the Abbey! Help!" a young mouse called who was playing by the pond. Many creatures ran for the Abbey building so the adder wouldn't get them.
"Hahahahaha! Now, I am in your home, and you all will die here! All of you!" The snake asked evilly.
"Oh, no! Addie, Mattimeo, suit up!" Matthias yelled after he heard the screams.
"You three best not, remember, the snake wants you guys the must," the Abbot warned.
"But, Father."
"No buts, Matthias. You should know better. Tut tut tut."
"Father, can't we send our little archers here somewhere safe to shoot at him?"
"Oh, all right. But where could we put them?" The Abbot seemed puzzled. The four thought hard.
"How about the." Addie was cut short, she was pointing to the window, "Sn. Sn. Snake!!!!" The others tuned around to see the snake coming in through the window. They all screamed loudly. Unfortunately, Matthias had left his sword in his house. But luckily, the two young mice had their bows and arrows.
"You all will die! I will get my revenge!" The giant adder struck out narrowly missing the four mice. Now would be when I test my medicine Addie thought.
"You distract the snake, I'm making a run for it," Addie told Mattimeo.
"Addie, don't! You'll get killed!" Mattimeo said in complaint, "You'll get bitten for sure!"
"That's my point. I'm going to try my concoction, and that's final, and, I'm going to save your hides, too," the two mice laughed.
"How can you laugh at a time like this?" Matthias asked as the snake narrowly missed his head. Addie left while the others were distracting the snake.
