Snake On The Loose

She did not want to give everything away. But she wore her emotions on her sleeve, it was difficult to conceal them. No one else sensed something was amiss. No one knew what to expect. 

Moments later, Princess Agnes' voice rang loud and clear throughout the hall. Something had slithered past her leg, caressing her ankle as it made its way around. She gripped onto King Alistair's arm tightly, digging her nails into his flesh as she screamed. 

"Snake!" Someone yelled. 

Princess Agnes leaped where she stood, moving her feet in quick succession as she tried to avoid the snake. She could not see where it had gone, only seeing a sliver of its appearance. 

A chain reaction of screams could be heard. Opal completed her mission with great success. She quietly circled back to Sierra through a slightly longer route to avoid detection.
