Ok the last chapter was just a filler chapter. This one will have more detail in it.

The female rattlesnake awoken from her slumber with a yawn. She looked outside and saw the sun was already up and its rays beating down on the sand. She sighed. "Guess its another one of those days huh?"she asked herself. Before she slithered out of the hole, she looked around to see if the coast was clear. Then she breathed anoher sigh of releif when there was nothing out there but the sun and the sand.

She quickly slithered out and was on her way once again.

"If I have to keep traveling like this, imma grow mad,"she mumbled to herself. Her scales moved side to side as she slithered through the sand. She kept moving forward even though she had no idea where she was going.

After a while of slithering forward, she started to get hungry. She knew she had to find something to eat before she died of starvation... or if something finds her to eat. Then she sensed something near by. She tasted the air and confirmed her suspicion. There was an animal not too far away. 'Guess I'm eating lizard today,' she thought to herself. She followed the scent and got even more hungrier when the scent got stronger. When she was close enough, she thought she found new scents. She stopped and tasted the air again. There was new scents. In fact there were new scents everywhere!

She continued to slither forward and hid under a brush when she thought she herd talking. After a moment or two she herd voices again.

"Hey! What are you three doing?! Get back to your jobs and don't let them escape!"a gruff voice said. She peeked out to take a look and saw a gilla monster yelling at a couple of other ugly looking animals. She guessed there were probably a turkey, a squirrel, and some other lizard. What she also saw was a family of rabbits tied up together. They were all beyond scared straight, and the 2 children were already crying while the parents try to console their children.

"Shut yer brats whinin' or ill shoot 'em!"the gilla monster yelled at the rabbits. The parents had a terrified look on their faces and desperately tried to calm their children.

Now she wasn't usually the one who like saving people's asses, but she was a sucker when it came to children. So with an angry hiss she shook her rattle. The sound made everyone freeze and sent shivers down their spines. She slowly raised up and exposed herself. When everyone saw the female rattlesnake, they all grew wide eyed and were frozen in fear.

"I suggest you let that family go or ill make sure your soul goes to the deepest, darkest place in hell!"she hissed at the gilla monster. The gilla monster looked at her and tried to remain as calm as he can in front of his crew. "who are you?"he asked, and tried to sound brave but in he inside, he was shaking like a leaf. She smirked at the tiny gilla monster and flashed her fangs at him. "Your doom," she said in a dark voice. " And who are you?" she said. "The name's Bill."he responded. She narrowed her eyes at him. "Well Bill, now that we know each other, I suggest you let this family go!" she raised her voice a little more, and hissed at him.

He gave a little yelp then cleared his throat. "And why should we listen to you?" he asked. She showed off her sharp teeth in a wicked grin. " 'Cuz if ya don't, then I'll have to force you to let them go." He raised a brow then smirked. " Is that so? Well I hate to tell ya this miss, but there's five of us, and one of you. And not to metion, we have guns and YOU don't," he said then he and his gang chuckled. She looked around at all the men then back at him. She thought for a second if her plan was such a good idea. Then thought, 'oh to hell with it!' Bill immediately shut up when she gave him a dark smile. "Who says I need guns." Then it happend.

As quick as lightning, she rapped her coils around Bill smashed him into the ground and threw him aside. Then she turned her attention to the rest of the gang, who were so petrified wih fear, they couldn't move. "Who's next!?"she said. But before they could say a single word, she sprang at the men. She used her body to smack them and wrap them up on her coils and smash them to the ground. Some tried to shoot her but she was too quick for their bullets. When they thought they had their target locked on her, she would out maneuver the bullets, and before they could shoot again, she had them in her grasp. It took a couple of minutes before all of the men decided they had enough and ran for there lives. When she saw they were retreating, she stopped then yelled, "IF I SEE ANY OF YOUR PATHETIC HIDES AGAIN I'LL SKIN YA ALIVE!" With that said, she turned her attention back to the rabbit family who were still tied up.

She sighed. Then by using a knife one of the men dropped, she cut the ropes. When the ropes finally fell the family looked at each other then hugged each other. She looked at them for a moment then turned and slithered the opposite direction. She knew she spent WAY too much time there. And at this pace she'll never be able to find a town soon. But then a voice stopped her. "Wait Miss!"

She turned around and saw the father of the family running toward her. She just stared at him as he came closer. He was hesitant at first. Being so close to a rattlesnake was very intimidating, not to mention frightening. When he was close enough, he stopped then cleared his throat. "Uh... I uh.. I would...uh.."he stuttered. But then she interrupted him. "No thanks is necessary." He flinched in surprise at her response. "oh."he said then scratched the back of his head.

She turned around and was about to continue on her way when he stopped her again. "What is it?!" she said a bit annoyed. He jumped back at the roughness o her voice, and thought for a moment if he should just let her be on her way. She sighed then completely turned around and faced him. "If there is anything you want to say then just say it. I ain't gonna say get mad at'cha," she said in a calm voice. The rabbit hesitated then nodded.

"Well I just wanna say...Thank you, for saving us. We don't know what we woulda done if you hadn't have came along." he said. She gave him a nod. Then turned around and continued on her way. He hesitated then called out for her again. Now she was really getting annoyed. She rolled her eyes then turned and looked at him. "I-I don't wanna be rude to ya or anything but, what is yer name?" he asked. She flinched back in surprise at his question. She hesitated a moment before she answered him. "Bella. My name is Bella."

He nodded. A bit surprised that she answered his question. Then he said, "Well... Bella, I-if there is anythin' we could to repay ya, w-we would be glad to do so." Bella was about to decline, when she thought for a moment and thought of an idea. "There really is nothing you can do for me to be honest. But if you can tell me where I can find a town near by, I would be grateful." she said. He nodded then looked at her. "Well there is a town about a days journey from here. It's called Dirt. Although it's been nicknamed 'Mud' since a lake grew there. Just keep headin' north and you'll reach it. When ya see a town next to a big lake you'll know you arrived." When she finally got the information she needed she nodded to the rabbit, and said "thank you." He then tipped his hat to her and said, "thank you too for all yer help." Bella looked at him then at his family, then finally turned and slithered north. But before she was completely out of hearing range, she herd the rabbit yell, "Safe Trails Bella!"

Bella had been traveling north for a while now, and she still hasn't seen a town yet. She was getting real tired and was thirstier and hungrier than before. 'Maybe I should have asked those rabbits if they had any food or water.' she thought to herself. The sun was starting to set and night time was soon to take over. Bella knew she had to find shelter soon before it got really dark. Then all of a sudden, she thought she herd footsteps. She stopped and looked around and saw nothing but sand and bushes. She continued forward. Then she herd footsteps and the shuffling of feet. She stopped again and was about to taste the air when it happend.

BANG!

Her body jerked forward as the bullet ripped through her chest. She collapsed to the ground with a thud. All she felt was excruciating pain, and her consciousness slowly fading away. She herd the familiar laugh of Bill the gilla monster and his gang. But before she lost her consciousness, she herd the the laughter stop all of a sudden. She tried opening her eyes but it didn't stay open for long. All she saw was Bill and his men cower away in fear. Before everything went black, she herd a bone chilling sound. It sounded like a rattle. But this rattle was different. It was as if it was made out of metal.

Ok I better stop here before it gets too long. And most of the chapters are gonna be similar to this (length wise.) I promise I'll update soon. Anyway please review!
