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 soaking in the sink for a bit, I slither up and hang on the umbrella key holders beside the door and take a short nap while waiting on Hazal. 


As soon as I hear the creaking from the old man's bed as he crashes on it, I bolt out of the apartment as fast as I can, skip the stairs down and just jump over the railing and into a bush. 


The raging voice booms behind me, "SON OF A BITCH! GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE!"


I keep running, and running, as fast as possible, just trying as hard as I can to escape, even the thought of him. 


Turning a sharp corner a sweet voice calls out, "Tyler!" 


Hazal. Her smile innocent as ever, I tackle her into an inescapable hug. I relax, letting out all of the breath I've been holding back, feeling  her arms around my back and the slight wiggling beneath my fingertips. 


I sniff at her clothes and a strange scent is mixed in. 


After walking a bit Hazal calls out a name, "Tyler!" And proceeds to get hugged violently...  with me almost getting my spine crushed. 


After a pause the guy lets go and I can finally breath. 


He grabs Hazal by the shoulders and shouts, "Hazal!"


"That's not a normal snake! You can't just pick it up!"


At this I slither up the hoodie her mother made her wear, and peek through the curtain of hair. 


Excitement flowing out of every direction, she starts, "I know it's not normal! But Onyx is-"


I stare blankly at the pale blonde, blue eyed boy who found me yesterday. 


Angered at the sight of me he yells, "You brought it with you!?"


"Tyler!" Annoyed at being interrupted, she shoves him away from her. 


Letting go of her, he steps back. "I'm sorry..."


Calming down, he says pleadingly, "Hazal," seeing that she didn't stop him, he continues, "It's unknown, it's dangerous."


"Onyx." I stretch my neck out of her hood to look at her face. "Show him the puppy-dog face."


I duck back into her hood and climb atop of her head, tail around her neck for balance. 


"Hazal! It's constricting around your neck!"


I pop my head out the edge of the hood and dangle my head down, flicking my tongue at her nose. I shift into a Ball Python and raise my neck, facing Tyler, almost eye level. Curse him and his hieght.
