I ran after Hedge. The odio- thing wasn't looking at us. We ran straight to the farm. "Why are we running to a farm? Are we gonna plough it outta here?" I said jokingly. Oh no. I thought I only make these bad jokes when I'm nervous. "No. We'll get help there, don't worry.", said Hedge.
Where do you think you're going?, I heard a voice behind me. Then foop! A tail lashed at us. Both of us crashed into the ground. The thing was looking at us. "It can talk?!", I asked. Yes, It can, the thing said, The Lord has asked me to end you. And the Lord shall bring us glory. "Who is this Lord?", I asked, "and why does he want me?"
The thing put on an expression as close to a sneer as possible. Well, you should know little one. He's your own uncle.
I was confused. My uncle? I don't even know my parents! Nevertheless, the Lord's brother and his spawn are, unlike him, vermin and therefore must be exterminated. "Wow. My 'uncle' is a bit over the top, eh?" The things eyes flared. It puffed out black, acrid smoke. You are unworthy to criticize The Serpent Of Fright. Speak no more and I shall deliver you a quick death. I was terrified. Icy drops of sweat clung to my hair. But I thought, "I'm not going out without a fight." "Huh. You know, you should stop your Victorian butler talk and come and get me." That got it running. It roared and charged at me. "This is the end.", I thought, "and I haven't even earned money or gone out of the country. I'm too young to dieee." That's when I saw it. It flew right into the ground, sinking a metre in.
