Chapter 10: Good News and Bad News
Sinuous pulls his lips off of Adder's, "I thought that I had lost you for a second."
She replies, "I did die, but for some reason, I started breathing again."
Sinuous starts flicking his tounge across her scars. After a few minutes, he moves down to her butt.
He gently moves his tounge back and fourth across the scars there.
A few minutes later...Adder wakes up on the pile of moss with Sinuous, Ranger and Vixen looking down at her.
Sinuous says, "Weasssssssel issssss going to come here, and you are going have to hold very sssssstill, so she can check to see if our kids are alright."
Weasel comes down into the burrow, and walks over to Adder.
Outside the burrow, Fox, Vixen and Ranger can hear Adder's pained screaming.
Vixen asks, "Why dose Weasel have to do it? Can't they just wait 'till Adder actually has the kids?"
"Weasel and Sinuous think this way is easier."
A few minutes later...Adder is laying on the ground with a pained look, and Weasel says, "Alright, the snakelings seem to be alright."
Adder gets up, "After what you did?! I don't think sssssso!"
Sinuous says, "Calm down Adder."
Weasel and Measly walk out of the burrow, and Vixen asks her slightly concerned, "How are the snakelings?"
"They seem to be alright, but Adder sure is mad at me."
Measly laughs, "Maybe you should deliever them for her too."
Adder shouts from inside the nest, "I heard that!"
They start laughing, and Adder shouts again, "That's not funny! Vixen, you try having some weasel sticking her hand up your..."
Vixen cuts her off, "Okay Adder. Just go to sleep until the pain leaves."
Adder coils up on the moss, and starts snoring.
Outside the burrow, Vixen asks, "Why has Adder been so grumpy lately?"
"That's what happens when snakes are pregnant," Weasel responds, "they don't like anyone other than their mate."
"Why didn't you tell us that earlier? I can imagine what she's going to be like when she's gone into labor."
"Don't worry about it, after the snakelings are born, Adder will be back to normal."
Vixen gasps, "Atleast she hasn't had the wierd cravings."
Sinous slithers over to her, "Not true! Sssssshe'sssssss been asking for ssslugsssss and honey lately. Sssssssnakesss hate sssslugs, and I'm not going in any besssss nest. Sssssshe'll be matlesssssss if I go anywhere near one. I'm allegeric to besssssss."
"Well, other than bees for honey, if she asks for something to eat, get it for her."
"What if itsssss not ssssssomething sssssssnakessssss are ssssupossssed to eat, like sssslugs?"
Vixen growls, "If its not something you or her are allegeric to, get it for her. If a snake isn't supposed to eat it, don't give it to her! Now quit asking, your giving me a headache."
She walks off, and he slithers down into the burrow. Adder opens her left eye, and he says, "I ssssse that your awake."
"Yeah, I hope Weasssel never dosssssss that to me again, that hurt!"
He responds, "I'm jussssssst glad that your ssssssstil alive."
He slithers over to her, and she quickly presses her lips against his, and sighs lovingly. "Oh Sssssssinoussssssss."
Sinuous sighs, "Oh, Adder."
She kisses him again, and he drops to the floor of the cave.
Adder laughs, "What Ssssssinuous? Never been kissssssed before?"
He dosen't respond, she slithers over to him, and onto his back.
They both smile, and she asks, "Are you going to ansssswer my quessssstion?"
"No, your the firsssssst girl that I've kissssed. I had a mate once, and a few monthssssss before ssssssshe was going to have the kids, she was torn to piecessssss by an eagle."
She frowns, "Why didn't you ever tell that to me before?"
"I didn't want you to know about my life before you came here."
"Why?" She slithers off him, and they both get up.
"Long before you came here, a dark green ssssssnake that ressssemblesssssssss me killed both of my parents."
"Oh," she pauses, "I won't tell anyone. What happened to him?"
He sighs, "Lady Blue killed him."
"Sssssoundsssssss like a good thing that he wassssss killed."
"It wasssssss, if it wassssssn't for Lady-Blue, I wouldn't be hear, she torn him in half right before he could finisssssh me off."
"Wassssss it by chance that sssssssshe sssssshowed up, or did you have it all planned?"
"It was by chance."
Suddenly, they both here a voice, "Adder!"
The two snakes see Vixen running, and she stops before them, "Adder! Sinuous! Come to the meeting grounds! It's Kestrel!"
At the meeting grounds...Adder is the the first one over the hiil, and she just looks away in disqust.
Sinuous asks, "Adder, what is..."
He looks foward with shock and sees a blood-soaked buird laying on the ground.
Down below, Owl, Whistler and Mateless land.
Owl waddles over to Fox, Adder comes up with Sinuous and Vixen. Owl asks,, "What happened to her?"
Fox sighs, "Rats. They pinned her down and injured her worse than Adder."
Owl and Adder slowly go over to Kestrel. Owl whispers, "Kestrel... can you hear me?"
She lifts her head up, and weakly says, "Yes, Owl..."
"How did the rats even get you? You were flying around all day."
She weakly sighs, "They dropped down from the trees on me..."
Adder gasps in shock, "That'sssss what they did to me!"
Kestrel coughs, and Owl says, "Just breath Kestrel, your going to be alright."
She coughs again, "Owl... take... care..." Her head drops to the ground.
Owl manages to speak, "Kesrel..."
Kestrel dosen't respond, and Owl starts crying.
Adder chokes out, "Owl..."
She is cut off by Owl press her head against her chest.
Adder begins patting her tail on Owl's back, and a tear falls from her left eye.
Chapter 11: Adding up
Lady Blue wakes up on a dark red sofa and yawns, "Ah! This is the life." She belches, "Pardon me!"
Rollo responds, "Its alright. I remember eating as much as you did when I was sick, I burped alot more than you did."
"Really? I didn't think that dogs can burp."
"All animals expect for birds can burp."
She looks down to her stomach, "I let my self go it seems. Curse that human and his tasty treats!"
He laughs, "As long as you are a Weasel, you shouldn't have to worry."
"I can image what Adder is going to say."
She hears the hinges on the flap squeal, and she sees Adder slithering through.
Adder laughs, "How goessss it fatsssssso?"
Lady Blue grits her teeth, "GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR..."
Rollo gasps, "Uhh... I'll... wait in the other room." He quickly gets up and runs down the hallway whimpering.
Adder apologizes, "Ssssssory...." then she laughs, "Fatssssssso!"
Lady Blue growls again, "Did you just come here to make fun of me or what?"
"Maybe..." she looks back and fourth, "Okay, no. Ranger just wanted me to see how you were doing with being sssssssick and all."
She lays down, "I've been doing great," she yawns. "My time hear has been the best time of my life in years. All I do is set around, and the Warden gives me a steak whenever I get hungry."
"Ssssssteak? I wisssssh I wassssss sssssick, all I get to eat issssss ratsssssss. I'm ssssssick of the tassssste of ratsssssss."
"Maybe you should have set outside with me for the last two days of winter. You'd be hear right now if you did." She starts laughing and Adder hisses, "Great, now your mawking me!"
"Hey, you started it. If you hadn't called me 'fatso', then I would be do it to you 'big-butt'!"
She gets up, "Excussse me! Like you weren't any bigger when you were pregnant!"
"Calm down. Now we're even, you called me fat, I called fat, we're even."
She growls, "Yeah, whatever you ssssssay. I'd might asssssssss well ssssssstick around for a while, there's nothing going on at the park. Maybe I'll get some sssssscrapsssssss of ssssssssssteak or sssssssomething."
Lady Blue lifts her head up, "You eat steak?"
"I've never eaten sssssssteak, but if you like it, then I probaly will too."
"Well, its very delicious. That's all I can tell you, I save a piece for you when I'm done eating."
"Good," Adder coils up on the couch, "I'm getting hungry anyway." Adder starts snoring and Rollo walks back in, "What'd I miss?"
Lady Blue responds, "Nothing, I just have to give Adder some of my steak now. She loves steak aparently."
"She's lucky! All I get are scraps of bread and sausage to eat, or dog food."
Lady Blue laughs, "Try getting sick next winter. That's why I'm here in the first place."
"For steak, that would be worth it. If your enjoying it, I might have to stay outside knowing the Warden. He's still mad from the jump I made off the water fall when I saved two weasels from those cats."
Lady Blue yawns, "Well, I'm going to sleep for a while." She rests her head on the pillow, and starts snoring.
Rollo turns around and walks down the hallway into his room, and falls asleep.
A few hours later...Lady Blue wakes up, and stretches, her foot hits Adder in the face.
Adder gets up and hisses, "What wassssss that for?"
"Sorry, I forgot that you were there."
"Okay, ssssssssure."
Lady Blue yawns, "I'm serious! I never even knew that you fell asleep there."
"Whatever."
Rollo walks into the room, "Lady Blue? Are you hungry for a steak, cause the Warden is bringing one right now."
Lady Blue stands up, "You bet!" She jumps down off the couch, and Adder follows her. "Remember our deal, you leave me a small piece."
"I will. Don't worry."
The Warden walks in and sets a plate down with a steak on it. Lady Blue starts drewling and runs over to the steak..
She bites it, and tears a small piece out. Adder just stares hungrily as Lady Blue devours the steak.
A few minutes later...Lady Blue is over laying on the couch snoring, and Adder is laying on the ground with a large stomach from eating the stake. "Mmmm... ssssssshe was right, that wassssss deliciousssssss..."
Adder slithers over to the couch, crawls up on it, and falls asleep too.
Chapter 12: Return from Luxury
Lady Blue hears a hissing and wakes up, "Ssssssss... how are you feeling Lady Blue?"
She gets up and stretches, "Mmm... better. That steak must've helped by sickness."
She responds, "I wish that I had came here when I was sick. It would be worth it coming here all the time."
Rollo comes out from the hallway, "The Warden says that he is going to release you to back into the park today."
Adder hisses, "Really? We HAVE to leave?"
"Unfortuantely, he's running low on steak feeding you tw..."
Lady Blue cuts him off, "What's that supposed to mean? Is he saying I'm a glutton?"
"I don't think that he meant that, but you have eaten more than the last fox he brought it."
Adder cuts in, "Well, we'd might asssssssss well get back to the park. Ssssssinuoussssss is probaly worried sick about me."
"Ranger and the pack are probaly worried about me too."
Back at the park...Sinuous is slithering around with a worried look on his face, "Where issssssss ssssshe? Sssssssshe'sssssss been gone for daysssssss!"
Vixen responds, "Remember? She and Lady Blue are at the Warden's. They probaly got caught up in eating the food he has there. Normally, he should be releasing them today."
At the cabin...Lady Blue and Adder are reluctantly going away from the cabin, and Lady Blue says, "We should have hijacked two of those steaks for ourselves, huh?"
"You know, that'ssss the bessssst idea you've ever head! We sssssshould do it!"
"I wish! But he probaly won't let us back in the cabin unless we're sick again."
They start heading back down the hill to the park, but the are stopped by Plucky racing a rabbit. Lady Blue asks, "Who is that rabbit Plucky is always chasing?"
"I'm not ssssssure, but he's not chasssssssing him, their trying to sssssssee who can reach the park firsssssssst."
"Why?"
"Plucky thinksssssssss that it issssss ssssssuposssssed to be fun. I don't see how, it wasn't fun the time Ssssssinuousssssss was chasssssing me around. He got tired, and fell assssssleep."
At the park...They finally reach the park, and Sinuous asks Adder, "Why were you gone for so long? I thought you weren't coming back."
"Don't worry Ssssssssinuous, I'd never leave you. Remember, I said 'I love you'?"
"Good. Your the only other ssssssssnake, male or female in the whole park. But with our kidssssss on the way, that'sssss going to change very ssssssssoon."
"I think I can wait. Itssss probaly going to hurt worsssssssssse than what Weasssssel did to me."
Lady Blue says, "Just think of it in reverse, only more painful. I would know, it feels like someone is pulling a large rock out of you."
"Sssssssss.... great."
She responds, "Another good thing is: We haven't seen a single rat it days, ever since they attacked you Adder."
"Good. Maybe they gave up. I'm sssssssssick of them, chasing them, killing them and eating them."
" I wouldn't worry about it, after almost killing you and killing Kestrel, and Sinuous scaring them off, their probaly leaving us alone for a while."
Adder gasps, "What if they are coming up with another plan to attack us?"
Lady Blue replies, "I never thought of that. But, still, I wouldn't worry about it for a few weeks."
Chapter 13: The Revenge of the Rats
WARNING: SOME VIOLENCE AND GORE IN THIS CHAPTER
Chapter 13: The Rats Revenge...
Part 1: A peaceful day and planning
Several large rats and an albino rat run out of bush, "Listen up! Today, we are going to kill those two snakes before she can give birth the children. We won't be able to over run the park with a bunch of snakes and foxes everywhere."
A loud chanting begins, "Bully! Bully! Bully! Bully! Bully! Bully! Bully! Bully! Bully!"
Meanwhile...
Adder and Sinuous slither out of their burrow, Adder yawns, "I'm expecting another peaceful day today of know rat attackssssss. I jusssssst wissssssh that we could go back to the Warden'sssss cabin for more ssssteak.:
Lady Blue walks over the hill, "So do I. Let's get over to Fox, he wanted us for something."
At the park...
Fox is speaking, "We haven't seen any sign of the rats ever since the death of Kestrel, they must have given up or something."
Adder hisses, "Don't bet on it. If I ssssssee any of them, their dead. I didn't care if they were killing the frogs at the pond, but now one of our friendssss issss dead. Itsssss persssssonal now."
Lady Blue walks up, "You bet it is. Those rats have gotten out of hand, almost killing my daughter, almost killing Adder and killing Kestrel. They've gone too far. Next their going to go for Sinuous or Toad, how much do you want to bet?"
Adder gasps, "No! Not my Ssssssinuous! If they even touch him, and I'll tear them to piecessss!"
Sinuous responds, "If they ever even try to hurt you again, they'll be the next thing in this park to die. You can guarantee that."
Fox speaks up, "I wouldn't worry about it, for aslong as they've left us alone, we already have a plan against them, no matter what they plan."
Adder responds, "Ssssssince when? You haven't told me or Lady Blue about it."
"It was when you two were at the Warden's cabin. We had to have something going if they ever did attack. All it was is: if the rats come towards the park, all us, including the deer, blue foxes and any other animals that are willing to fight, are going to form a line at the boundaries of the park and wait for them to come. We are going to fight, and kill every one of them that comes our way. Rollo even said that him, and the Warden would help if they had to. Even a few bats, some crow and a rook had shown up to help us out."
Whisper stands up, "Rollo? Crow? They helped Bold and I get food when we was coming here. Good to here they are okay. Wait... where's Ranger and Charmer?"
Fox responds, "I don't know, I haven't seen them since yest... wait, there they are. Coming over the hill right now."
They reach the group, and Lady Blue asks them, "Where were you to all yesterday?"
Ranger responds, "Since nothing was going on, we thought we should stay home for a day and rest like you and Adder did at the Warden's."
"You should've been there," Lady Blue sighs. "at the Warden's. It was wonderful, the steak was delicious! I wish that we could have stayed there, but he only takes care of sick animals."
Charmer yawns, "Yeah, sounds wonderful."
Lady Blue responds, "I might just get sick again over winter just to go there again."
Adder springs up, "So will I! Anything like what goesssss on there isssssss worth getting ssssssick."
Weasel walks up, "Can you stop? Your making me want to go there, even thought I'm not sick at all. It sounds so completely worth it! Whatever steak is, it sounds great."
Lady Blue turns to Fox, "Okay Fox, was there anything else that you wanted us for?"
He responds, "Yes, as you all know, in a about eight days Adder and Weasel will finally be having their kids, and we'll have to keep the, and their kids safe from any possible rat attacks that might happen."
Sinuous says, "You can guarentee that I will protect her with my life. I almosssssst lossssst her once, I don't what to have it happen again."
Fox responds, "If she stays in the nest with you, then she'll be alright. I doubt that any rats know where you nest is, and any that find it by accident won't leave."
Adder responds, "Yep, they'll be in mine and Ssssssssinuousssssss'ssssss breakfasssssssst."
Rollow walks up, then Rook, Crow and the Bats land next to him.
Rollo says, "Don't worry about Adder. We'll be there too Sinuous, after getting used to her at the Warden's, I couldn't stand to see anything happen to her."
Crow responds, "I couldn't stand seeing anything happen to another a friend after what happened to Bold. I miss him, where is he?"
Fox responds, "He died of his gun shot wound about a two years ago, right before winter."
Rollo yelps, "He's dead! Why didn't any of you ever tell me before?"
Vixen responds to him, "Because, we didn't know that you were in the park, and if we did, we wouldn't want you to be sad. But the hunters that did it were ran out of the park again by the Warden, so they shouldn't be back ever."
Crow caws, "Good! They killed one of my friends, they don't even deserve to be in a park full of animals."
The Rook walks up, "Where's Owl at? I thought that she came back here?"
Adder responds, "Sssssssssshe dosssssssen't want to be talked to right now. One of her friends, Kestrel, died a few dayssssss ago, and sssssssshe wantssssss to be alone."
"Really? I remember when we first met. Even though we weren't the same species, there was a connection between us, and even she started liking me before she left."
"Ssssshe'ssssss found a mate now, did you know that?"
"She did? I'll still care for here like I did before she even found here mate. I'm going to make sure that nothing happens to her." He flaps his wings out, and flies off towards the trees with Crow and the bats.
Adder just looks to Sinuous, "Have you ever heard of sssssssssssomething like that before? A crow liking an Owl more than a friend?"
"No. But that mole that ssssssemsssss to be coming out of the ground every where hasssssss likes badgerssssss for sssssome reason. I think his name is Mosssssssssy or sssssssomething."
Spike responds, "Yes, that's him and I have feeling that he is going to come up right where Adder is."
Suddenly, Adder feels something hit her in the tail, "Ooh!"
Then she slithers out of the way, and Mossy pops up from a hole.
She hisses, "Why you... Mossssssy!"
He whimpers, "Sorry Adder. I didn't know you were there."
Part 2: The Rats Strike Back...
The next day...
Sinuous slithers out of the whole with a dead rat hanging from his mouth, "Jeez, and to think that we were done with ratsssssss in our nesssssst."
Adder slithers out with two hanging from her mouth, and drops them, "Sssssso? It gives me ssssssomething to do, I haven't killed any for dayssssssss."
Suddenly, a deep voice cuts through the air, "Adder! Sinuous! The rats are attack the frog pond! We must go there, quick!"
Adder responds, "Where issssss it! Lead us there!"
Toad hops off the rock, and the two snakes follow him down a trail. They come through a bush, and they see the rocks and water stained with blood, and pieces of frog.
Adder looks away in disqust, and Sinuous says, "No animal dessssservessssss to die like that. Not even the ratsssssssssss that did thisssssss. Let's get out of here."
Toad responds, "You two go on, I'm going to stay here for a while. I'll catch up with you all later."
They slither off through the grass and Adder asks, "Think he will be okay there by himself? I mean, look what thosssssse rats did to thossse poor frogsssssss. They ripped them to piecessssssss!"
"I know, I hope that we never have to come that way again," He responds. "I can take much blood, I have a weak sssssstomach."
She hisses, "You aren't the only one." A rat runs by, and she hisses again, "Let's get it! Itssss one of those sewer rats!"
Adder slithers after it, and quickly wrapps her coils around it. "Now, tell me, which of you rats killed the frogssssssss, and I might let you live."
It whimpers in fear, "It was me, Bully, and the other sewer rats."
Adder hisses in anger, then suddenly bites the rat, and drops it to the ground. The two snakes slither down the path to the park.
At the frog pond...
Toad is looking around the pond, and says, "What could have done this to you all maties?"
Suddenly, but silently, four large rats come out of the bushes, and stand behind Toad. Outside the bushes, a loud screaming, and tearing can be heard, then everything goes quiet.
Meanwhile...
Adder and Sinuous get back to the park, and Fox stops them, "Where's Toad, and the frogs at?"
Adder responds, "The frogs were torn to pieces by the sewer rats, and Toad wanted to stay behind."
"You left him there alone? What if they attack him too?"
Sinuous replies, "He said that he could handle him self if anything does go wrong."
"I hope your right." He turns back towards the others, and they follow him.
Lady Blue asks, "Where's Toad?"
Sinuous says, "He wanted to stay down at the pond after the sssssssssewer rats killed all the frogs."
"You listened to him? No way a toad can handle sewer rats!"
Adder cuts in, "Maybe sssssshe'ssss right, we ssssssshould go check on him."
Sinuous says, "You can go, I'm going to go sleep in our nest for a while, I haven't slept good in days, I'm so tired."
Adder responds, "Okay, Ssssssinuous, jussssssst be careful. Remember, they know where our nesssssssst isssssss thanks to Bully."
"I will."
He slithers off, and they head up the trail to the pond.
At the pond...
Adder comes through the bushes, and screams, "NO!"
Lady Blue rushes through, "What is..." She sees the pieces of Toad laying all over a blood-stained rock, and shouts, "ALL RIGHT YOU STUPID RATS! WHY DON'T YOU COME AND FACE US! AT THE BORDER OF THE PARK, YOU FIGHT US TO THE DEATH! I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOU ATTACK MY FRIENDS!"
Adder turns to her, "Oh no! Their probaly going to go for Ssssssssinuousss next! We have to get to the nessssssst before they can!"
They quickly rush through the bushes intent on reaching the nest before the rats can.
Meanwhile...
Sinuous is sound a sleep when several rats quitely, but quickly crawl into the burrow.
Bully says, "Now, before the other snake and fox return, kill him!"
The largest rat reaches down to Sinuous, and violently grabs him by the neck. Sinuous starts gasping for breath as the rat squeezes harder on his neck.
Sinuous starts gasping for air, and they hear a voice, "Ssssinuousssssss! Are you there!"
Bully whispers, "Let's get out of here!"
They quickly run out of the nest, then Adder and Lady Blue walk into the nest.
Adder looks around for him, then she looks down, and screams out. "SSSSSSSSSINOUSSSSSSSS! NO!"
She bends her head down, and starts crying. She hears Sinuous gasp, "Adder... kill Bully... make sssssssure he dos.... ssssen't live to kill another animal ever again."
Adder starts crying, "Sssssinuous... you ssssssaid that you were always going to be with you."
His breath starts getting weaker, "I will..." He breaths starting getting even weaker, "...take care my very own beautiful ssssnake, pleasssse take Adder."
His body collapses to the ground, and Adder cries out, "Sssinuoussssss..."
He dosen't move, and Lady Blue starts crying, then outside the nest the rats start laughing as they walk away through the grass grinning evily.
