Chapter Sixteen: Bitten and in trouble
Addie ran for the dormitories where her poison cure was stored. "Addie, where's Matthias and Mattimeo?" Cornflower asked as Addie ran by.
"Tell you later, cornflower," Addie replied as she ran off. Cornflower sighed.
"Oh, I do hope Addie comes back soon. That snake is getting through that window quick," Mattimeo complained.
"Hush, Mattimeo. I'm sure Addie will be here soon," the Abbot said reassuringly.
"I do hope so," Matthias muttered.
"Hey, snake! Over here!" Addie had returned with a bottle of her poison curer. "Come here, snake! Come on! You want a piece of me? Come and get it. Here, I'll hold still for you." The snake slithered out of the window, and right towards Addie.
"You will sssssee your friend die, miccccce!" The giant adder struck out at Addie, biting her right in the arm.
"Addie, no!" Mattimeo yelled as Addie fell and hit the ground. He ran out after her without any weapons.
"Matti, no," Addie tried to stop Mattimeo from killing himself, "Don't, stay in the house."
"Addie, I won't. I can't. Addie, here drink this." Mattimeo took the little bottle of fluid and held it to Addie's lips.
"No you don't, moussssse!" The snake struck out at the unguarded mouse. He bit him in the back. "Now you both will die" The snake laughed evilly.
"Drink it, Addie," Mattimeo said weakly.
"No, I can't. You drink it. You deserve it. Take it Matti, please."
'No, Addie, you take it."
"Stop arguing with me Matti, take it before it's too late." Addie tried to stifle cries of pain and sadness. Mattimeo nodded. He took the drink.
Matthias was in tears inside the little house. "This can't be happening, Father Abbot. It's only a dream. This would never happen."
"Don't try to deny it Matthias. This is not a dream, though I wish it was." The sadness was filling the two's body. The snake had already wiggled his way through the window.
"Two down, one to go," the snake said with delight. The snake tried franticly to get to Matthias. The snake was only inches away. Matthias and the Abbot were holding to the wall.
