Snake Diaries, Mountain Lion [phonics reading books txt] 📗

"Wassssup guys," I said. My straight black hair fluttered in the slight breeze and leaves crunched beneath my feet.

"Lua! we're soooo glad you could make it" Mindy shouted. Mindy is my BFF and has brown curly hair,teal eyes that always seem to flicker with worry and trouble. Her tan arms and long finger nails waved at me, "COME ON!" The light of the moon glowed on the dark clearing we were standing in. "I was just telling Tavern about you," she said fake coughing and flicking her head towards him. Ever since 6th grade she has been obsessed with finding me a boyfriend. I smiled and winked at her, she nodded her head and turned away. The moonlight soaked into my skin as I walked over to Tavern. His back was turned towards me, but his out line was clear he had black spiked hair and a leather jacket which pretty much described me. I tapped him on the shoulder "Did......" my words trailed off. Though my mouth was still moving but no words came out. He cocked one eyebrow at me and the edge of his lips curved up slightly. I pinched my eyes closed and covered them with my hand, I removed my hand from my brow "Did Mindy talk to you" I said awkwardly. "aaahhh"he chuckled "so you must be Lua"

"I'm so embarrassed"

"Who wouldn't be"

"Hey did she say anything bad about me," I said. He looked at me funny "um no I'm pretty sure she made you sound worse than you actually are"

"Well thats good most guys shun me as soon as they see me"

"They just don't know how hot girls look in leather jackets." My eyes snapped up from the ground and he looked down at the ground.

"Say what!!!!"

"God that came out wrong"

"Well I guess that makes us even" He looked up at me and did the smile thing again. His eyes were blue-grey and kinda dazed me. He laughed a little bit while we starred at each other. A voice called interrupting our weird moment "Break out the fruit punch." Every body gathered around the table. "Would you like to go get some?" Tavern asked. "Yeuuuuhhhhhhh" I coughed. I doubled over in pain, my shoulder blades rolled into my back bone. Everything went red and bleary, I clutched my leg and I started to fall backwards. I went to put my hand back as a brace, but I found that my hand had fused with my leg. Glancing up at Tavern his eyes were filled with worry, but not fear. "Help" I managed to say before my troat locked up and my gums squealed in pain. Tavern looked at the crowd then back at me, he scooped me up and charged towards the woods. We got far into the woods before he stopped. Cupping my head in his hand he held me against him. My body shuddered and quaked, Tavern dropped me but the pain had ceased. He seemed taller too much taller, I spun around but sticks and leaves crunched plus I had a tail with scales. I knew these scales though I had studied these scales for as long as I could remember. I was an Emerald Green Tree Snake.

Tavern ran into the woods, branches snapped and crunched under his weight. Was he scared of me? The question settled in and buzzedin my mind. The leaves under me began to get sticky, but I stayed still. My snake half told me to hunt and forget about him but my human told me go after him. My snake half eventually won the battle inside of me, I slithered up the closest tree. i sat on a thick branch of a Limber Pine, letting the cold wind settle and my tounge flicker out i catch the scent of a Northern Shrike. It sat 3-4 branches above my green and white scales. I coiled around the trunk and slowly made my way up. I finally got to the branch rite below the Northern Shrike I crawled out on, I curled my tail under me ready to launch. Scooching my tail ever so slightly the branch groaned, the Shriek looked down at me and flew away. "Damn" I thought.

I slithered through the night trying to find a sense of direction. My tongue flickered out and a stench was suffocating, it smelled overly sweet but had a weird tinge (some grandma obviously planted to many flowers.) my 5 ft body  slithered out of the forest into an Asain Lilly garden. God it reeaked, but then I came across a window it was cracked just enough to crawl inside and right below was mouse in a cage I felt bad but I hadn't eaten like this since 1st grade after the guvernment took over and now rule North America. (like WTF man!) so i slithered in and of course I am to big to fit in a cage that size (Duh?)  I flickered my tounge and tasted some on coming whish sounds really weird but to smell snakes have sensors on their tounge. I tried to slither back out the window butit was to late. I heard a blood curdling scream and a small girl with brown hair was standing in the door, followed by huge man steps running down the hall. He peered through the door with a rifel (what is this the purge or something) he raised the gun to his shoulder closed one eye and looked through the scope with the other ( oh shit I'm dead). The shot rang through my ears and everything went bleary but I wasn't dead. (AH HA he missed sucker) I slithered as fast as I could out the window and through the garden, meanwhile shots rang out behind me.

 BEEP! BEEP BEEP! 

"Are we getting a supernatural reading, Jose" 

"SIR YES SIR but it seems far larger than most of our readings do you think it could be something big"

"guess we'll find out when I put a bullet through its brain."Agent Juarez said thrugh a clenched jaw. "I will not rest until every supernatural creature is wiped from the face of the earth." Juarez pressed down on a small green button and the walls started to rumble as the small clearing floor started to open revealing a Meacedes-Benz Silver Lightning and a dim blue light that illuminated the out-line of military grade weapons. He slid down the pole and grabed a machine gun, an AK-47 and a 3 round burst pistol. The car door automatically opened as soon as he was within 3ft of the car. The hunt was on. The SIlver Lightning sped down the 49th street at unthinkable speeds.
