The City of Snakes.

Two days later they arrived at a large city that was overgrown with trees, vines, and many more plants. It was the most beautiful place either of them had seen. The walls were covered in ivy and flowers, the floors were covered in a moss like plant, and while the path ways were still clear from constant movement, the grass around them was about knee level on the children. They looked at the statues and tried to figure out what kind of snake they were supposed to represent.

"Tresssspassersssssss! You shall die slowly humanssssss for daring to step foot in our sacred city!" The children looked towards the voice and saw a King Cobra standing up, looking straight at them, with its hood flared up about to strike them. They froze not sure what to do. They needn't have worried though, their pack kept their word to protect them, and just as the snake struck out for Hallie, Moon Thunder jumped in between them and the cobra's fangs sunk into her as the venom poured into her veins.

"No!" Hallie screamed as Moon Thunder the first pup to curl up with the twins that first night, who had spoken in defense of them to not only their parents, but their Alphas as well. Hallie's magic started building up around her and Harry. The air crackled with electricity as her magic became more turbulent until it surrounded the twins like a tornado. She fell to her knees and cradled Moony to her chest, gently rocking her back and forth, as she whimpered in pain.

"Make it stop. Please make it stop sister! It hurts so much! It feels like I am on fire." Moony whimpered to Hallie. Her magic flared again as it felt the life fade from the once happy, excited pup who was always up for an adventure. Even if that adventure was no more than trying to track and sneak up on, their alpha Papa. Hallie closed her eyes as she clutched the body tightly to her and started rocking back and forth as she sensed Harry drop to his knees behind her then wrap her in his arms.

She suddenly couldn't keep the emotion or magic contained anymore as she felt her other half's pain and anguish through their bond. She screamed as her magic combined with Harry's and it exploded out from them. The magic went outward in a circle from them and it didn't do like one would expect from their chaotic emotions, instead of destroying it healed and encouraged growth. The vegetation around them seemed to start flourishing and all of the Packs fatigue seemed to have just disappeared.

Hallie screamed until she couldn't scream anymore and all the while Harry kept his arms around her. Offering what little comfort he could. Finally the magic quieted as she started to calm. When they looked up they saw mother comforting the pups while all the other wolves comforted her. There were snakes surrounding them on all sides, everywhere they looked they saw nothing but snakes. There were cobras, pythons, anacondas, and asps. But the biggest one of all was almost taller than the trees around the city. Harry gasped when he realized that the snake in front of them with yellow eyes was exactly like the statues.

He clutched Hallie a little closer to him as the giant snake moved forward towards their pack. "Wolves. Why have you brought humans to our city?" It asked them.

"Get away from them!" Hallie screamed as she dove in front of the pack. "Leave them alone!" Harry and Hallie both crouched down in a deffenceive stance like they had seen the older wolves do when play fighting. Their magic combined and put a shield around the twins and the pack. The huge snake that had spoken reared back in surprise. He was shocked to say the least. Not only did they speak the language of his master, they had the same aura as Master Salazar.

He bowed towards them in a submissive movement and spoke quietly, "Peace be with you young speakers. I mean you no harm. If you will give me but a moment I will return with my Master, Hatchlings." Then he turned and disappeared inside the largest opening. A few minutes later He returned, but he wasn't alone. With him was a man that stood a proud 6'2" with broad shoulders and long black hair and stunning green eyes.

"Well, well, well. What do we have here then?" He turned to the snake and said, "My friend, why are they so defensive? And why is there a dead wolf pup here?" He raised an eyebrow as the snake looked almost sheepish.

"Masu. He was agitated and he killed the pup when it jumped in front of the girl to protect her. I was summoned after the children showed signs of powerful magic."

The man turned towards the twins and said in a soothing, calming, deep voice, "It is alright. No one will harm you. My name is Salazar Slytherin. What are your names?"

A/N: Dun dun dun! Cliffy! Sorry I couldn't update sooner. I have just been so bogged down in my class work, and then my Wi-Fi went down. It has been very tiring.
