(Hebi's POV)
"Oh,Viper I don't get why Sasuke thinks I'm just an anathema", I sobbed in my hands. I felt the dry,scaly,smooth-feeling of Viper's skin brush against my outer thigh. "He doesn't hate you,Hebi", I heard Viper hiss in my head. I just shook my head in response to his comment. "I just don't get it", I thought to myself. I began to crawl on all fours to the rushing stream that is only three feet away from our campsite. When I reached the edge of the stream, I stuck my entire head into the hasty water. The water felt so hiemal against my natural bloodless skin. My ears began to ring from being in the water far to long. My normal black vision became clouded with red,blue,green,and purple swirls. I love it when I connect with the water because its the only way I get to see the colors of this world dance in my natural black eyesite. When I was a little girl my mother use to tell me that water and air are the only thing that can help me talk to the colors of this world. After what felt like forever my lungs began to burn from the lack of oxygen, and orange,pink, and yellow joined the party of dancing colors. I then felt a strong scaly tail coil around my petite waist. The tail then extracted my head from the frosty stream. "HEBI, WHAT THE HELL! YOU COULD'VE DROWNED YOURSELF!", Viper hiss furiously in my head as I gasped for air and coughed up the water that crept up my nose.
"Sorry, Viper I justed wanted to see colors," I whined as my salty tears mixed with the freash water of the stream. "Ughh,Hebi you can't just go around stick your head in water, nearly drown yourself, and just tell me that you wanted to see colors." Viper hissed sadly in my head, "I know how you feel right now. Your alone and you feel that you will never be loved because of what you are," Viper hiss loving in my head and used his tail to wipe my now wet,soggy jet black hair out of my eyes, "But, you want to know what I think. I think that one day you will meet a guy that is going to try to see the world out of your eyes", he then coiled his huge body around my small one. Viper's coldblooded body cooled down my unnatural heated body to the right temperture. I smiled at Viper's words and mumbled a soft thank you as I let myself drift off to sleep.
(Hebi's dream)
'Knock!Knock!Knock!' A small girl with pig tails that reached her kidneys and bangs that nearly covers her eyes; ran happily to the living room. "I GOT IT MOMMY!" the little girl yelled to her mother,who was humming happily to herself as she made dinner for her daughter and herself. The little girl let out a small laugh as she unlock the door and opened it. On the other side of the door was an angry,scary looking Itachi Uchiha. "Hey,Itachi. Looky I can", the little girl sentence was abbreviated when Itachi Uchiha pushed her onto to the floor with great force and forced his way into the house. A minute later a scream was heard from the kitchen. "Mommy", the little girl whispered to herself. The little girl gathered up her strength to get up off the cold,hardwood floors of her small house and stubbled her way into the kitchen. When she stepped through the door of the kitchen, her nose was instantly filled with blood,most importantly her mother's blood. By this the little girl knew her mother was hurt and she also knew that she didn't just cut her fingers on the cutting board either. The little girl knew exactly what was about to happen to her mother and she knew who was going to carry out this loathsome act. The little girl also knew that since she was blind; she would be totally helpless to help her mother, so she crawled in a nearby cabnet and cried.
She let out a small cry every time she heard her mother being slash by a knife, she sobbed every time she heard her mother's heartbeat lessen with every cut,and she cried for her daddy everytime her mother's blood would spill on the floor or splatter across the walls. When her mother's killer knew the little,blind girl's mother was no longer in this world he let out a sigh of relief and left the small cottage with not a hint of guilt on his face. Not once did the little girl left out that cabnet that night because she was scared that if she came out that he would come for her too. The little,blind girl waited three days and two nights in that cabnet hoping that her daddy would come for her. On the fourth day, the house was enveloped with the smell of decaying flesh and it was so bad that she could even hear the buzzing of the flies that flied around her mother's corpse.
The little,blind girl once again gathered enough courage to come out of her hiding place. As soon as her little baby nose came in contact with the foul air she nearly lost what little she did have in her tiny stomach. So, for the next couple of days the little,blind girl buried her dead mother in the family grave for the snakes which was located at the tallest hill in their villiage, alone. Then, she spent days cleaning up the blood her mother left behind, once again alone. And the whole time she was thinking,'What if I was never born blind?,What if daddy was here to save her?, or What if she had never answered the door?' The little,blind girl knew that if her mother saw her now she would be so disappointed in her, so the little,blind girl decided that she was going to fogive her mother's killer for what he did. And with forgiveness in her heart the little,blind girl spent the rest of her time reading about all the jutsus in the world, training herself how to fight to the best of her abilities, she trained herself to be the best ninja in the world, and she did all of it while humming her mother's favorite melodia.
(End of Hebi's Dream)
The next morning, I woke up against a big,pink cherry blossom tree with silent waterfalls cascading down my cheeks. "I hate it when I have that dream. It makes me fill sad."I thought to myself as I looked up at the grandiose cherry blossom tree that silently swayed in the sweet smelling spring breeze. Cherry Blossom Trees usually don't grow in these forests, but this one feels like it just belongs here. The Cherry Blossom,also known as Sakura, is a magnificent tree that buds during the being of spring. This peculiar tree is in the centre of a cavernous clearing in the heart of the forest. On the left side of the tree, only three feet away is a luminous,blue stream running along side of the bewitching tree. On the right side of the tree, only five feet away is the entrance of the clearing. The entrance is surrounded by beautiful flowers and medium sized stones. All in all the clearing looked marvelous. I let my mind and body connect with the beauty that surrounded me. I used my ears to listen to the birds sing in the tree top above,I listened to the stream hastle to its destination, and I listened to the soft buzz of the busy honeybees that collected pollen from the flowers. I used my nose to take in all the natural sents that was around me. I smiled truly to myself for the first time in years because I found a place where I can be at peace with myself and with nature.
After what seemed like hours, Viper emerged from the other side of the clearing's entrance. "I see your relaxed this fine morning", Viper hissed happily in my head and then coiled his gigantic snake body at the base of my streched out limps. I smiled down at Viper as he rested his huge snake head on my stomach. I don' kntow how we stayed like that, but the peace was short lived when my stomach began to beg me for food. Viper lifted his head at me to see me starring back at him. I felt my warm out of impecuniosty at the sounded of my stomach rumbling. Viper chuckled alittle at my human nature and he decided that it was time for us to head into the villiage and leave this beautiful scenery behind. I nodded my head in agreement with Viper. And we both made the peaceful journey back to the gates of the Hidden Leaf Villiage.
