Chapter 7
Hey guys all the confusing bits in the last chapter will all be explained (most of it in this chapter)
Boa slid and hid under a rock just outside town, she was trying to avoid everyone especially Rattlesnake Jake but that was easier said than done "What brother?" she heard a familiar coo, Blathers had come to check on her "I had a brother, Eric was his name, I called him Gash though, he was the only family I had that actually loved me, he trained me in the art of survival, much to my parents displeasure, one day he said that he had to go out, that he'd be back later, but he never came back I never have and never will know how he died" a tear slipped down Boa's face, "Blathers I need you to something very important" Blathers tilted his head to the right "Please Blathers I need you to do this, for my sake" Blathers nodded and looked at Boa waiting for his task
"I need you to, warn me when Rattlesnake Jake's near me" Boa's voice cracked when she said his name. Blathers looked at Boa with eyes full of sympathy "Did something happen between the two of you?" Boa gulped
"Sort of, I was so close to telling him I love him then… He blew it, he was forcing me to say it louder but my temper snapped, and then I slapped him" Boa started crying Blathers nodded and flew up and then screamed "HE'S COMING!" Boa slithered away as fast as she could, all she heard was a yell "I WILL ALWAYS FIND YOU BOA!"
Boa hid under a rock praying to God that Jake did NOT find her, after she had slapped him, it was obvious that he was coming to get his revenge "Please Boa, come out" was that pleading in his voice? Because it sounded like to Boa, it even worked because she appeared into Rattlesnake Jakes field of vision; as soon as she did he wrapped his coils around her in what appeared to be a hug "I'm sorry Boa" he mumbled to Boa, Boa tried to reply but was a little breathless "Please, I would like to breath" Boa whispered trying to use as little air she had as possible Jake's eyes narrowed and he released Boa from his coils "Why did you vanish from the town?" he demanded "You know those folks have laid down their lives for you" Boa nodded and then burst into tears
"Jake I don't want anyone to get hurt because of me so I decided to lead my trail far from town and end this" Jake's eyes softened and he hissed soothingly
"We all want to help you" Jake paused for a moment "Even me" Boa smiled at Jake "Come on lets go back" Jake coughed and started slithering back to Dirt
"Jake wait!" Boa made a decision and was going to stick to it this time. Jake turned to face her
"What?" he seemed almost annoyed Boa slid next to him and kissed on the cheek then slithered away after cringing, Jake just remained where he was completely frozen by Boa's actions
"She can't love me… can she?"
You said that talking to yourself is a sign of madness now your doing
So! I actually believe I'm insane now
what because you've been kissed?
Yes
so
she needs someone who won't put her life in danger!
She does that just by being alone.
