Ebysis

She was always curious about normal, everyday, human life, and as one who was made for the literal purpose of connecting her people to humanity, she felt very self-justified in escaping the church. 

And with perfect timing, her little brother is conceived, distracting everyone’s attention.

Serpentine Queen

After I finish pushing the rat down my throat I place my jaw against the cold tile floor, and think, {Ugh... so full.... and the mice from before definitely aren't helping ... I swear... I'm not gonna eat for at least... another month...}


"Ahem" Hazal's mother announces her presence at a couch set next to the front door. 


{Whaaat.} My thoughts slow as I tire from a full stomach. 


Seemingly concerned, Hazal's Mother asks, "What are your plans now?"


Annoyed at my current state, she continues, "Then who's gonna stop the snakes?"


{We're fine... she's busy...   got little brother in her womb...} 


Hazal's mother whispers something to herself, "Little brother?" That's just out of my hearing range. 


Then, clearly she asks, "Then what about tomorrow, what are you going to do tomorrow?"


{School.... sounds ....} pausing to find the word, {entertaining.}


"And how are you gonna attend?" She asks in a joking manner. 


She pauses before asking, "Has... the people of your tribe ever... crossbred?"


{Hah?} This question wakes me up, {Yeah, a few.}


With cold eyes she orders, "Stay away from my daughter." 


{Wha- Ooh... yeah no, I'm a female...} As this conversation seems to be picking up, I head into the hallway. 


"Oh...  But still, your not gonna be under her clothes."


Now looking her in the eyes I ask, {Is it because it's spring?}


"Wah?" The edge of her cheeks tinge pink. "No! It's just not okay!"


{Alright then... just make her wear a jacket and I'll go between the layers}


Angrily starting, she exclaims, "That's!" pauses to think, then continues with her anger mostly deflated, "More... reasonable. But were at on her body?"


{Alright then where else would you like me to be hm? Around her arm? Where people can brush against me, and assume I'm some weapon or fetish?}


Sighing, she says, "No, but what about around her leg or through her belt loops?"


{Being swung around on her leg after a full meal? Do you want it to look like she messed herself? My weight on the loops would eventually pull the pants down so that's a no too."


"Okay, no leg, but can't you just tighten yourself like a belt?"


I respond sarcastically with, {You're asking me to keep my entire body completely still for how many hours?}


"... Well what about that ouroboros thing? Were you eat your tail?"


{That's how we-shit don't think don't think don't think!}


"Alright! Alright! It's clearly some weird snake voodoo!"


{Hmm... voodoo? I guess you could call it that.}


"Is there really nowhere else you can go?"


{Not without consequences.} Feeling a yawn coming, my brain fills with thoughts of sleep. 


"Fine but remember, between stay the layers."


As I turn to head towards Hazal's room, she asks, "Where are you gonna be sleeping?"


{Hazal.} I return a flat answer as I slither into her room. 


Seeing her lay mostly on her stomach, with one arm and foot hanging off the bed and using the other arm as a pillow, I slowly crawl along her arm as to not wake her and slither to the back of her hip and coil up on it, looking and her mother stare at me. 


{What thought I was gonna take advantage of her?}


{I guess I kinda am using her, as a heat pad that is}


I hear Hazal's mother flop onto her bed in the other room before I tuck my head into my body to sleep.


You’re All Fiiinnee...
