Misunderstood

Chapter 4: awoken

Spitter woke up with a start. Wasn’t he just fighting a human? Did he bite it? We’re they all dead?

“Spitter your awake,” Zari said, smiling. “You fell asleep early tonight. “ I guess you need to be ready for the battle tomorrow.”

“Oh,” Spitter hissed. He was dreaming. Still night though.

“I must tell you something.” Zari said.

“What?”

“An old story from when we were younger,” she began. “Years ago, humans raided the swamps, usually successful. But, some humans, the Sav’i, would protect us. It was amazing. Legend says they didn’t tame you either, but actually earned our trust.”

“Jibberish,” Spitter laughed. She walked him with her tail. “It IS true you big dopey. Jeeze.”

The next day Spitter began the raid. They went for the human camp, fighting each one, but we’re soon forced to retreat. Three soldiers stolen to be tamed, one missing. Not a single human abducted.

Spitter was one of the snakes taken.

Only when he woke up he was perfectly safe.

“Skeegeeze.” Something sqeeked from behind him. He whirled around and saw it was a human, staring at him intently. He found out he had a muzzle on, and was in a round fence he couldn’t crawl over.

He hissed through the muzzle.

“Yarwk!” It speeches, startled, it reach over and patted his head, and he jerked back.

It had long black hair, and small blue eyes like his mothers. It smiled at him in a weird way.
