Midnight exited the "deserted" home with an irritated huff.
Now, most people who would have just met the legendary Dark Lord would've probably not left that encounter alive or at least be mentally or visually shaken by it.
But not her…
Reluctantly the girl began to make her way back to the obnoxious boys she was forced to call "family."
They apparently hadn't stopped hollering for her to "hurry up!"
Just as she'd barely taken a step off the porch, Midnight felt something rub up against the back of her right ankle.
She spun around to find the large female serpent she'd met inside there with the "coveted" baseball in her mouth. "Thankss," she hissed upon gently removing the object from the snake's wide open jaw.
"My masster wantss you to come back to him, right now"
But before the girl could reply, her inhuman senses went crazy as she picked up something else: Danger!
"I've got to go now!" she hissed furiously, charging full on in its direction leading her back to the graveyard. Only to be met with probably the most infuriatingly horrific scene she'd seen in years.
Those boys had found the one creature Midnight truly cared for, her longtime friend and pet snake "Montey".
And were currently in the process of beating and torturing the poor reptile as they "waited."
Hearing him hiss out in pain, something inside her just snapped!
Enchanting the ball in her pocket, Midnight took it out and hurled it into the nearest tombstone. Causing the stones around to fold and crumble on top of each other like dominos.
The rumbling ruckus caused the boys to look up from their target before being pelted by the flying bits of rock debris but that wasn't what got to them though.
It was the sight of devilishly hatred gaze in the "witch" they'd picked on since infancy finally living up to her name as they felt their own bodies began to twitch and shrink.
Before finding themselves no longer in the graveyard but in an alleyway with a whole bunch of giant cats in front of them, licking their chops.
One of the boys attempted to let out a shriek only to result in a high pitched squeak as he stared into the dilated pupils seeing his reflection. He like the others were…mice!
Once the vermin had vanished to their fate, Midnight collapsed on the ground in exhaustion. Her last little bit of magic extracting from her fingertips.
Suddenly she heard slight movement followed by the feeling of added weight as her 4ft. long Indian rock python coiled itself around her body protectively laying his head on her chest.
"Nesstling, you sshouldn't've done that."
"I couldn't let them-"
"I'm ssuppose to protect you, not the other way around. Now no more talk, you're hurt"
The serpent flicked its tongue at her nose and ears as blood slowly leaked out. The girl instantly shivered trying to stay awake.
Sensing what was happening, Montey raised his head and shifted back to his true self.
See... Montey was not a wizard, he was actually a type of mythological creature native to the Jungles of India called a "Naga".
From the top of his head to his waist line was that of a strikingly handsome short dark haired boy of fifteen. With biceps and six pack that even Tarzan would envy. But from the waist down instead of legs, he possessed the long powerfully muscular tail of his python.
He carefully lifted Midnight up in his arms with ease. "We need to get you to a healer and fasst"
"Excusse me?"
hissed a female snake from behind, this time accompanied by the Dark Lord's bumbling servant.
"I believe I know ssomeone who can help…?"
