The Witches Snake

Chapter 12

Amelia, Daniel and Jess walked silently to the next house around the corner. It was almost silent for Amelia humming her little song. "Say, what is a psychopath?" She asked Daniel. He crossed his arms and put a finger to his chin.

"Well I believe a person that is crazy." Jess waved a finger at him.

"I've killed a fair share of humans in my day and some were what you would call a psychopath. They are person who care nothing for others safely, say strange things and act very very crazy and weird." Amelia smiled.

"Well, looks like that's not me! I care very much for people's safety. When I rule London my people will live a happy live forever!" She laughed. Behind her Jess played with bits and pieces of her long flowing hair. "All of London's falling down, falling down, falling down. All of London's falling down, hail the ruler Amelia!" She giggled.

"Beautiful song my love." Jess's eyes turned to hearts. It was half true. Amelia had a beautiful singing voice but no one knew it only because they choose not to listen to a crazy murder. She may act like a devil she has the looks and voice of an angel. Finally the three stopped in front of a large house. It was a shop and on top was an apartment. The shop was open and it was a bake shop. Amelia walked in with the reaper and demon on each side of her.

"Good afternoon lady and gentlemen." An old woman greeted them with her back turned. Only her face was towards them. "Oh my, your the famous Cobra!" She ran up to Amelia and took her hands in hers. "I've heard such things about you and I have many questions if you don't mind." Amelia smiled with a tilt of her head.

"Of course not! Actually I came to ask questions myself." The woman tugged Amelia's hand and dragged her up the short staircase. Upstairs was a normal sized apartment. They were brought to the living room with a long couch laid across with floor with some chairs in front of it. Amelia sat in the middle of the couch while Jess and Daniel stood behind her. The woman brought out some tea and chocolate chip cookies. Amelia picked up her tea cup and took a small sip. It was delicious. "So what are your questions before I get to mine?"

"Well, I'm a big fan of you and your work. But I've always wanted to know why your called the Cobra and why Ceil and Alois are the dog and spider." Amelia bite her cookie roughly.

"I'm known as the cobra because I'm just like a snake. I feed on my prey whole, slippery, and you never know when I can attack." She smirked. The woman's eyes glistened as she took in each and every word.

"Do you feel bad about the people you kill?" Amelia laughed and almost spit out her tea.

"Feel bad? Why would I feel bad about murdering guilty people. Every single person is going to die, why wait?!" She smiled and the woman let out some air while she slouched in her chair. "And now for my questions," the woman straightened up and nodded. "In the past few months, did any of the queens guards come visit you?" The woman bounced up and nodded are head rapidly.

"Why yes! It was the dog, Ceil! He came with a very tall and handsome young man." Amelia crumpled the cookie in her fist and let the cookie dust flow out of the cracks in her fingers.

"And why did he come?" Amelia clenched her teeth and spoke with her perfectly white teeth squished together.

"I had a theft rob my shop! It turned up to be a man that lives around the corner. He took the money and left." Jess couldn't help but giggle. "But Ceil kept looking at the clock and his watch. Before he left Ceil whispered something to his butler and they were gone in the blink of an eye." Amelia held up her knife.

"And then what?" The woman had stars in her eyes. She smiled ear to ear.

"After they left I heard a scream and a pop. I ran outside and the butler was standing over me tell me anything was fine." Amelia stood straight up with a blank expression. She stood completely still except for a small shiver. She held up get knife and screamed before slicing the arm off the chair the woman with in. Next she attacked the couch carving scratches in with a long scream.

"I'm going to kill them!" And down the steps out the bakery and along the empty street she went. Jess and Daniel just looked at each other for a moment then followed Amelia's footsteps. Daniel stopped Amelia before she crossed the street.

My lady please. We don't have enough e-"

"Out of my way you worthless hell spawn!" Daniel flinched and backed away with his head swinging down. Amelia held her knife to the night sky.

"I will kill both of you in cold blood." She smiled wickedly. Amelia Cannemo has finally snapped.
