Me: Um sorry, I posted the wrong chapter, this is the real chapter three
Jack: (facepalm)
"Not toy! NOT TOY!"
Immediately, the room turned to chaos. Yetis and elves ran around, unsure what to do, Sandy brought out his whips. Tooth gasped. Bunnymund reared back in alarm, but for the first time, Jack didn't laugh, he was too busy aiming his staff at the writhing reptile. He couldn't freeze it because he would probably hit North in the process.
Suddenly the snake was flying over his head, North had managed to yank it off. It landed on Sandy; pictures flew over his head until it looked like a little sandstorm, (Though that might have been what he was trying to convey)
Tooth made a grab at the snake, she felt scales against her skin, but just as she processed it, the snake traveled up her arm. "Wuh?" Tooth found two golden orbs staring at her face. Two scared golden orbs. Then the snake was violently snatched by the neck.
Bunnymund smiled, "Gotcha!" he cried.
Then: "IT'S GOT ME! IT'S GOT ME! GERROF GERROF GEROOF!"
Jack did laugh this time, Bunny and the snake both turned at the sound. "Oh, so you think its funny, do you, you bloody showpony!"
The snake jumped and landed on Jack's hand. A second later there was nothing but a long bulge under blue fabric. It was Frost's turn to yell, "Oh man! IT"S IN MY JACKET IT'S IN MY JACKET IT'S-"
"Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz," snored the snake, its head just hanging out of his sleeve
"Sleeping?" Jack said incredulously, he held up the snake to his face. Its eyes were closed to contented slits and a tiny forked tongue appeared when it exhaled. "Huh,"
Bunnymund was still bristling at the encounter when he saw Jack, "What are you doing Frost?" he spluttered, "Stop gawking and get rid of it!"
Tooth peered into Jack's sleeve, "its actually rather cute," she said, looking at the snake "in, y'know, a sort of scaly-reptile way,"
"Cute? You think that-that-that monster is cute?" Bunnymund turned to North and Sandy, "tell them North, tell them that they should get that thing out of here,"
North didn't, instead, he studied the snake, "I have been to many places, but I have never seen snake like this before, have you Sandy?"
Sandy shook his head.
"Who cares?" Bunny jabbed a finger at the snoozing snake. "I say we get rid of it before it kills us!"
"What's wrong Cottontail?" Jack, sensing an opportunity, walked to Bunny until they were a meter apart, "Scared of a little snake?"
"No, I'm not ya gumby!"
Jack raised his arm with the snake in it. Bunnymund put on an expression that completely disproved his statement. When the snake flicked its tongue, Bunnymund actually flinched.
"Get that thing away from me, Frostbite," Bunnymund hissed.
He didn't, and ended up chasing Bunnymund all around the room, waving the snake at his face. The snake was completely unaware of its misuse and continued to sleep.
North ignored them, choosing to mull over the mystery of the snake.
"Snakes are usually dormant this time of year, yes? So how did snake crawl in bag?"
"Maybe it came from one of the tropical countries," Tooth was keeping an eye on Jack and Bunnymund, so she was slightly distracted, "I've never seen a snake with white scales before,"
Sandy formed a picture of Jack trying to get the snake off, with no success.
North nodded, "True, while snake is with Jack, we cannot send it home, it will stay until further notice,"
Bunnymund screeched into a halt, Jack almost bumped into him but he dodged just in time, "It's staying?! Are you out of your mind?"
"Snake is wrapped around Jack's arm, you try getting it off,"
Bunny shivered at the thought, "good point, but if anyone gets poisoned, don't go blame me, ya hear?"
Jack shot a glare at Bunnymund before getting off the ground, "North? Is it okay if I go? There are a lot of countries that need a snow day,"
North understood, he put a hand on Jack's shoulder.
" When Snake is awake, bring it back here da?"
Jack nodded.
As he flew out the window, Jack looked at the snake, "looks like we're going to stick together for now," he said.
The snake made no reply.
