Slithering on a belly of red and black scales the poisonous snake wriggled from side to side to move its body forward, hissing profusely as it tried to scare away any predators. Lost in his thoughts Jake failed to hear the warning that the snake was giving and without looking where he was going stepped on the snake much to the Jake's surprise. Obviously frightened the snake lunged with its fangs towards Jake's leg trying to bite back in retaliation. Seeing the snake lunge towards him Jake quickly dodged the snake's bite, positioning himself to strike back. Owing to the injury the snake had received from being stepped on Jake was able to land a precise kick to the snake's head. Projected by the kick the snake landed far away from the trail where it quickly retreated due to its injuries. Shocked by what just happened Jake stares at his feet bewildered that his body was able to fend off the attack. "I guess I don't give myself as much credit as I deserve," Jake stated "If I can react quickly enough to dodge a snake bite then why can't I cross that rough terrain." Finding new found confidence in his abilities Jake ran back up the trail to see if he could cross the rough terrain with a little faith in his abilities.
