"Oh my fucking God..." A teenaged male cried out, his voice being overpowered by the heavy rain that was drenching him. "Can this day get any worst?!" He shrieked out in anger as he tried to make out of the silhouettes in the distance.

His day had started out so well. How in the hell did it end up like this?!

He could remember how sunny and bright it was just moments ago. He was out and on his way back home from school, taking a slightly longer route via the public bus services. As soon as departed the bus and walked his way through the neighbourhood, the next thing he knew, the scenery shifted to night instantly.

And thunder was rumbling overhead.

He had freaked out when he was suddenly whisked into this bizarre location; more so afraid of his life. The place did not familiar to him at all, nothing but trees, small bushes and a long stretch of gravel leading to nowhere. It didn't help his situation when it suddenly rained cats and dogs. And that his iPhone's battery was flat.

"Oh god...If you can hear me now, please don't let me die" The male cried out skywards to the menacing darks clouds, which rumbled even further. He ran to whichever shelter he could find, which was a small metallic shelter. It looked to be a bus stop.

He had managed to reach the small shelter, but the damage had already taken its place. His sky blue school uniform was so drenched with rainwater that the colour darkened. His shoes were all covered in mud and even his hoodie, which he thought would help protect him, was no match against the rain.

He looked back and patted his bag, feeling it to be severely wet. He frantically opened the zipper and looked inside before sighing. Least all his notes and books were in dry conditions, though the water was slowly seeping in. He slung the bag behind him once again.

He looked around in search of any signs of life; but there was none to be found. The rain helped to reduce the visibility even further. The male sighed. What to do...?

"Oh my! Are you alright?" He heard a voice call out in a worried tone. From the way it spoke and its tone, it was definitely female. The young male sighed in relief. Thank goodness that someone had seen him.

"Just really wet Ma'am. Otherwise, I'm relatively fine" He joked, laughing a little before turning to the direction of the voice. Just then, a streak of lightnight graced the night sky, giving the male a momentary flash of light.

What he saw made his heart skip a beat. And not in the good way

What he saw was a reptilian being a few feet away from him, wearing a bright yellow blouse, a dark blue skirt with black leggings and was carrying a small transparent umbrella. In addition to that, she seemed to have hair flowing from the back of her head, despite having scales.

She was a snake. A large purple cobra, slightly taller than him, that was walking on two hind legs that were not supposed to be there, with her tail wagging back and forth behind her.

As like ever member of his species, when something unknown were to present itself, the first instinct they would do is to scream and run.

And that was what he did. Mainly because he was really afraid of snakes.

"AHHHHHHHH!" He screamed, accidentally falling back, before booking it at the opposite direction, leaving the young female behind.

She cocked her head back. Perhaps he had never seen an Arbok before? She had no time to ask as he had suddenly ran away.

The male continued to run as fast as his legs could carry him. Just where in the hell was this place?! Having humanoid snake people?! What next? Dragons?!

He continued to run for about a few more minutes, just in case he thought that odd snake woman were to follow him. He slowed down his pace and looked behind, squinting his eyes in the thick blanket of darkness, having to wipe his face a few times from the rain getting into his eyes.

He panted as he looked around. Great. More trees and vegetation. He sighed. God, he was stupid for running away from her.

He tried to walk aimlessly in the dark, trying his best to search for any more signs of life. Unfortunately, with the cold beating down onto him, he could feel his strength being sapped away from him.

'Is this...how it ends...?' He thought to himself. He couldn't go any further; his breathing was getting shallow by the minute and his vision was slowly fading into nothing. He breathed one more time before his body couldn't handle it, falling straight down onto the wet grass face first.

"...H-Help...m..m..me..."

"Oh my goodness...!Oh my goodness...!" Emily paced back and forth in her room as she continued to examine the unconscious human male. She had a huge grin on her face and her long ears were standing to attention.

She calmed herself down and adjusted a few patches of her brown fur that were out of place. She breathed in and out, her chest rising and falling, as she counted from one to ten. Once she felt she was no longer freaking out, she kneeled down and examined the human.

She had placed him on her bed at the moment and had a towel wrapped around him along with her blanket. He was really wet and cold from the rain, so warming him up was probably the first thing she thought of so that he wouldn't hyperventilate.

It was incredibly hard at first, since he was apparently carrying a bag that seemed to add to his weight. And not to mention he was rather heavy overall. The most difficult part was bringing him up to her room without waking anybody, which she had managed to do somehow.

The first thing she realised when she was looking at him was how different he looked when she pulled back his raincoat-like jacket. Compared to the images from books and photos online, his facial features were rather odd to her. But knowing that, all humans must be weird in some form.

Careful not to wake him up, Emily gently placed an ear on his chest, feeling his heartbeat slowly return to normal. She sighed. That was a good sign. And now his body temperature seemed to return to normal as well.

Scurrying to her table to find her notebook, she grabbed a pencil and began to jot down the things she had noticed. First, her thoughts on human facial features and followed by slowly analysing him from top to down.

But then her curiosity got to her. What does the human body truly look like?

Emily looked at her guest with a newly formed blushed. But she suppressed any thoughts she had on the matter and pressed on. After all, this was for the sake of Science! To get to fully understand the human body with her very eyes.

She kneeled down and observed his arms first, eyeing it in interest. It seemed to be very soft, yet hard and flexible at the same time. The little digits they had were almost like hers as well, although more thinner and seemed capable of cracking at any time. How odd, she thought.

She moved on and went to one of his leg, prodding it with her pencil. Looked soft yet durable as well and when she used her hand to gently squeeze on it, she could feel the muscle underneath, seemed well toned. However, just as she was about to continue, one of his leg bucked the air, causing her to flinch and move back.

A groan could be heard being emitted a few moments after, causing Emily's eyes to widen. He was waking up! Despite her pure terror inside, Emily couldn't help but crack a small grin.

Another groan emitted and soon, the bed sheets the human was wrapped in started to shift around, little by little, until a small hand emerged from underneath. It twitched in mid air, as if wanting to grab something.

"...Ugh...Wh...Where...a..am I?" It called out, causing Emily to let out a small squeak. She cupped her mouth and proceeded nearer, her small grin now turned into a wide smile underneath. The human was definitely tired, from how weak he sounded.

'Poor thing' Emily thought.

"Umm...H-Hello..?" She asked in a soft tone, careful not to scare him. She gingerly placed a hand on his, gasping from feeling how cold it was before gripping it tightly. "Please don't worry...Umm...You're safe from the heavy downpour"

The bedsheets rustled once again. "...A-Am...I..?...Thank...god.." The human heaved off a heavy sigh of relief. "...Wh-Where...am I...exactly..?" He asked, coughing a little with his eyes still firmly shut.

"Umm...You passed out cold, so I had to drag you inside my home...Err...You're currently in my room.." Emily replied, slightly blushing at how awkward it was telling him he was in her room.

The human tried to get up, slowly trying to unravel the sheets of blanket wrapped around him. Unfortunately, he groaned in pain and immediately recoiled back into the bed he was lying on. Emily gripped his hand tighter and softly said, "Please, rest. I don't think you can walk as of yet in your current condition"

The human, sighed. "I suppose...Thank you Miss" He called out, smiling in the general direction of his saviours voice.

"Please, just Emily and please rest" Emily urged, her tone was slightly irritable at how much she has to remind him.

"Emily...Thanks...Emily. The name's Richard..." Richard replied, before feeling his strength fade away once again as sleep overpowered him.

Emily gently placed down his hand and sighed. This was probably going to be a bad move from her, but at the moment she didn't really care for much. She had managed to save a life and said life was a mythical being thought of to be merely legends. She felt accomplished, nodding her head as a smile graced her face.

She inspected the human, now known as Richard, once last moment before staring at her notebook. She had notes to fill and Richard wouldn't mind seeing as how he was asleep.

Probably.

Emily sighed before placing the pencil over her ear and walked over to her study table. It was going to be a long night.
