Chapter 36: Severus Snake

  I followed Taylor into the lake. The lake was really clear. I guess it is for Watriks (what does that mean again?) it's normal. I jumped in holding my nose

  "You know you don't have to hold your nose, right? Water's a part of you." I blushed. "It's just.. reflex.. is all.." We watched a sea snake swim in the water.

  "AHHHHHH NO NO- NOPE." I screamed. Taylor chuckled and petted the snake on the back.

  "Maroon, this is a sea snake." "I know.." "It's harmless to us. Like a dog."

  "That's.. how is it like a dog? It's a snake. Snake's bite. Snake bites are bad." Taylor chuckled and threw a stone across the lake, and the sea snake brought it back. I started to play with it under water. "If she loves it.. I guess I love it too." I muttered, petting it's back.

  I picked up a rock. "Do you..-Can you pick this up with your mouth?" "If you threw the rock, yess.. I could.." I blinked. "Did you just-" "Becausse I can, sssilly.." "Yeah, ok." I threw the rock. The sea snake, whom i'll call Severus, caught it in his mouth and brought it back. "Yeah.. that's better."

  "How come I can understand you?" "You're a Ssserpentiacqua aren't you?" "Er- what's that?" "Ssserpentiacquas are people who can sspeak to ssssnakes... ssssily.." "Oh."

Taylor swam over to me with a crocodile. "First off Tay, you need to cool it with the pets. Second off, can I keep the sea snake? I even named him Severus.."

"Maybe, only of I can keep Crush." I nodded and Taylor touched Crush's back. "Hold on, give her here.." "Why?" "You'll see.." "Alright.." "So assume Crush is a species, and you have one on my head." "Yeah?" "So you have a Crush on me." Taylor smiled. "That's.. funny. I get it." Taylor created a portal and took us and the animals to Atlantis.

  We let them free and promised we would come back. We teleported back to the lake and I kissed Taylor on the cheek.

  "Atlantis is cool." Taylor laughed and we swam up and walked to everyone else. I looked up, and saw someone no one wants to see. 

  Loki.
