Chapter 12
Boa slithered deeper into the desert. About half an hour she had started talking to herself again "Sure it may a little sudden having just come back from the dead, but hey he could just try to talk me out of it instead making me yell at him!" Boa hissed angrily, and then she heard a familiar bark
"So nice of you tell us you're alive" Blathers and Alistair appeared from behind a rock Boa gave a sad smile "Sorry guys I had few problems at the moment" Blathers smiled and looked at Alistair he nodded "Like: falling out with your boyfriend and going to hunt your father?" Boa's eyes widened and Alistair explained "We heard Jake grumbling to himself" Boa's eyes filled with tears and this time she couldn't keep them in "I'M SUCH A TERRIBLE SNAKE!" she wept into Alistair's fur.
Meanwhile Jake was having a few problems of his own the little angel and devil where yelling at each other 'He's never listened to you before why should he know?' the little devil sneered
'because he loves her as much as he tries to deny it' the little angel retorted softly Jake rolled his eyes 'you have a point there' the devil admitted sadly 'you need to go find her' Jake sighed he was in no mood to argue he started to slither off to look for Boa "If she tries to kill me let it be on your heads" he snapped 'It's the first sign of madness' the angel said melodically Jake just ignored the bickering pair and went off to look for the snake who had stolen his heart "She's better be Ok" he grumbled to himself.
Boa groaned again "Don't tell me you've lost the scent!" she snapped, Alistair rolled his eyes and snapped back "You doubt me too much" Alistair started heading south following his nose, Blathers hovered by Boa "Are you going to forgive Jake?" Boa hissed angrily at the mention of him
"Not at the moment" she muttered sadly "Well maybe I do forgive him, it's not his fault it's always going to be my fault that someone gets hurt because of me" Blathers looked at Boa concerned their conversation was broken because Alistair had stopped "He's just past there" Boa knew what she had to do "Alistair, Blathers you guys are my best friends I need you to do something for me" Alistair stared at Boa and Blathers nodded "I need to go alone from here, I started this I need to finish it!" Alistair narrowed his eyes "Last time you tried to do that you nearly died! What makes me think that it's going to happen again this time with no coming back?" Boa sighed she couldn't keep these two out of it this time "I know I have to die, but that's not the favour" Blathers smiled weakly
"What is it?" Alistair didn't like how this plan was shaping up, first he had to escape the ever present eye of Rattlesnake Jake then he had to leave his best friend to die! "If you see Jake don't and I repeat don't tell him where I am" Blathers looked at Alistair, Alistair glanced back, and finally Blathers spoke
"Ok Boa we're in" Alistair stared at Blathers like he was crazy but he nodded "It was nice knowing you Boa" Blathers cooed sadly Alistair looked at Boa and Boa nodded and slithered away in the direction Alistair had pointed
After Boa had gone Blathers and Alistair had turned around and started to return to Dirt when they heard an angry hiss "Where is she?" Jake appeared into view, Alistair glanced at Blathers, Blathers had a habit of blurting things out around Jake "She's went toward the cliff she made us promise to not tell you where she is and now I'm a terrible friend!" Blathers cried before Alistair could say anything Jake was slithering as fast toward the cliff.
