Behind The Door

A/N

Apologies for not updating sooner!With the year winding down I've had to pack up stuff and my schedule's been weird...also I'll admit I kinda forgot about his book, heh. ^^;

🚪

The door made a pained squeak as it was slowly opened to find....

A room?

This confused you.

This room was warmly decorated, candlelit by a chandelier at the ceiling that illuminated the entire place. A red velvet chair was at your right, a small but classy looking bookcase lined with various old titles. The chair was inhabited by...nothing at all really, it was empty.

Which puzzled you even more.

But you spotted a small window at the ceiling you and Snake could have a possibility of crawling out of! At the instant you jumped towards the latch, you heard a voice.

"Well if it isn't the fellow I made acquaintances with earlier..." It chuckled.

you turn around, knowing exactly whose body it belonged to.

He sat in the no longer empty chair, hands folded over his lap with a smirk playing on his face. 

"I don't think you'll be leaving that easy...or at all, for that matter." You gritted your teeth and glared at him, feeling Snake's hatred for him as well. 

"Miss Y/N, I see that apparently you're quite the Snake charmer...no?" Reyoldo chuckled, bringing forth the prisoner. 

Prisoners, would be the better word.

His hand waved behind him, where a large cage of slithering snakes angrily tangled and intertwined with each other, hissing. You took a closer look at the creatures. Snake next to you had a look of worry. Why?

That's when you realized.

This wasn't a cage of cute and cuddly corn snakes and diamond snakes, oh no.

Instead were king cobras, black mambas, Eastern brown snakes...just about any snake known to man that was venomous.

Your eyes widen in a mixture of shock and horror. 

The evil man only looked at you with what seemed like satisfaction, making his way round the cage, showing off these precious weaponry of animals. One nearly bit him with its dagger-like teeth, poison droplets spraying from its mouth to the ground. Snake looked at you, the snakes around him either ready to fight or recoiling in his clothes in fear. 

"Your connection with him is bound to be helpful, Y/N. For today's show, one lover shall tame wild venomous beasts no man has claimed to be friends with since the times of Adam and Eve! The great animals of sin! Snakes!" Reyoldo said in his showtime voice, the cage inching closer to you and Snake. 

You swallow and nod. If this had to be your test for entry of this hellhole, you'd pass it. 

"Ah ah ah! No cheating!" Reyoldo waved a finger as a large black box went over Snake's head, trapping him in darkness once again. 

"Well, Miss Y/N, this is bound to be interesting..." Reyoldo leaned back in his chair, which was a relatively safe distance form the snake cage, enjoying what he made of a good show. 

The slithering creatures hissed at you, coming to your ankles, the clear venom squirting from their fangs as they watched you intently with their beady red, some black, eyes. 

The show must go on.
