i slytherd across the man with the hook, or Patrick as his friends called him. i had watch him for three days. i watch him get his hand cut off. i watch him get drugged and forse-fed his own orgens. i watch him get sent into a forest with a bunch of psychotic children. and i had watched him pass out after he finaly got away. well, "i" handn't. i was part of a bigger network. there were about 3 of us, (well, three of us that had the gift) soon to be 4. red scales, with white stripes borderd by black was our pattern. but we were no ordonary reptile. we were bred for this. the cult bred us, and we had a unike abilaty when we came together. just then, Patrick awoke.

~

Patrick felt somthing slyther across his chest. opening his eyes, he was met with the cole black eyes of a snake. startuled and confused, he sat up carfully. the snake gently cralled off of him, and slytherd back into the forest.

~

Pete limped to the ege of the forest. he was a bit scraped up, but over all, not to badly ingerd. his eyes drifted to a crimson apple hanging from a tree. he hungruly picked the apple, and took a greedy bite. however, the tast that filled his mouth was not that of an apple. he spit the substince out, and looked in horror at the "apple". it was made of flesh, and seeping blood. Pete felt his stomach chern, and fell to his knees.

~

i slythern out of the man's mouth and into the sunlight. i watched him out of the corner of my eye. he stared in confuson and descust at me. it's not like i wanted to be traped in there! but at least i was free, and he was rid of me. now the four of us were all together. now the real fun could start. i slytherd away into the forest, and the man, who i knew as Pete, limped off to try and find his friends.

~

Andy stumbled his way to an overpass. under it, he saw a man whom he asumed to be homeless. he stumbled closser to him. and saw he had a can of beans. hunger overcame Andy as he reached for the tin can. the man soon awoke and yelled at him to find his own food. Andy, not looking for a fight, ran away, or tryed to. once away from the homeless man, he truged along a side walk. his eyes fell apon a red scaled snake with white stripes rimmed in black. his memorys flooded back and he jumped away from the reptile.

~

i wached the man i knew as Andy crall away from me. his eyes were filled with fear. i injoyed the power that came inflicking his tarror as i slytherd my way back to the forest.

~

Joe limped his way twords a house. he leaned on the wall, cluching his leg. he heard movment and cralled his way to the corner of the house. there, and older women with curlrs in her hair was drying her landry. she screamed in fright apon seeing Joe and ran away as fast as her little old legs to take her. Joe pulled down one of the white sheets that flapped in the wind, and ripped it. he rapped the cloth around his wounded leg, trying it tightly. as he looked down, he notesed a famulyer serpent slythering across his boots.

~

i flicked my toung, getting a smell of the man, Joe's, blood. he was badly hurt and needed help. however there was nothing i could do. i didn't much like this job in genoral. the only reason i hadn't hidden away in the woods where the cult could never find me again, was because of the blood. i hate it, but it fasinated me. it fasinated all of us. we loved he smell, taist, and look of it. but, the fourth should be here now, and we can finaly begin our job. i cralled off of Joe's boots, and back twords the forest.

~

all 4 of us came together. we stared at each other for a moment before slythering together. now was the moment. we each felt a stinging senation run thrue are bodys. then, burning pain. i felt my scales peal off, my bones bend, if i could have screamed, i would have. then, it was over.

~

i stould carfully. it was quite an odd feeling, going from 4 bodys to one. and going from snake to human. i took a caushos step. i had never walked on legs before. it took some getting uset to, but i was soon able to walk on my own. now, i needed to find them. the men i had been sent to watch. one would be dead soon, and it was my job to make sure every thing when acording to plan. i set off to find them.

~

i soon found Pete. it seemed he at tarrorisd a mother and small child by calling out in pain and asking for help. i stould watch from afar. i was told to keep an eye on then, and not to intervene untill Patrick was unleashed. a wached Pete crying in pain and confushen. he soon became agresseve, and banged on the car of the mother and daughter. the mother rolled down the window and pepper-sprayed poor Pete. he fell away from the car, covering his eyes in pain. i wanted to help. i wanted to do somthing. so, i dissobayed orders.

~

"h-hey! do you need help!" i looked up twards the voice. that damn bitch had pepper-sprayed me, and now i couldn't see anything.

"c-can i help you?" the voice was female, but i still couldn't quite see, my eyes were watering to hard. her voice was kind, but nervos, like she was doing somthing she shouldn't be. i felt a gental hand on my shoulder, but emedeatly flinched away. what if she was working for them? i couldn't trust her. i stould, my eye site finaly returning. i then bolted. as i ran, i looked back to her. she was a young women, with vibrent orange hair. i only got a glimps of her, but her eyes shook me to the core. her irises were as white as a corps' flesh. that plus the hair, that women was not human. that i knew for sure.

~

well, that didn't work. at least i knew where they were going. i made my way to the hospital. just as i arived, a red truck pulled up. Andy, Joe, and Pete were in the back. and Patrick was sat in the pasinger's seat with It in the driver's seat. i hid behind a sine, and watched.

It turned to Patrick it's eyes black as night. It then turned on the radio. Patrick yelled in pain, then in anger. and so, the race began.
