Bluepool Stories

serpent /ˈsəːp(ə)nt/ a usually large, snake or a mythical snake-like reptile, often symbolizing cunning, treachery, or evil in literature and mythology. 404 was born in an incubator inside a underground lab. She was the first successful fusion of genes of a human and a snake. They called her a serpent, a mythological creature that can now only live under their cruel eyes. For years, she lived through countless painful experiments. Until one day, she escaped with the help of other test subjects. They were her 'family'. They all escaped the lab and went into hiding. For centuries it was a game of chase. Some died, others perished under the relentless pursuit. It wasn't until one day while she escaping alone, a thunderous lightning struck her and everything went dark. And when she woke up, everything changed. No more agents running to capture her, no more living in hiding. The world was surrounded by virgin forest and mountains. As well as men as beautiful as the greek gods who could transform into beasts just like her. It felt like 'home'.

The couple put the huge dog in the back of their car and, before setting off down our driveway, smiled and waved at us. We did not smile. We did not wave back. My mother was weeping. Uncontrollably. I had never seen her so upset. She had just said goodbye to her beloved pet dog. For the last time. I hugged her. But that day's heartbreak consumed her ... for years to come.

In a new world, Kagome has to figure out how she fits here. She was human and different from the beasts....but maybe she could make this place home...especially with the males that seemed adamant that she needed them in her life. (Will have similarities from my coauthor work, Miko and the Beasts)
