Free Falling
Chapter Fifteen
Matt turned to look behind himself and froze up on seeing the snake. I ran up to him right as the python launched itself at him.
I knocked Matt out of the way and grabbed the snake right behind the head. "Yo, Pyro," I yelled at Karla, knocking her out of her trance. "Get a knife,"
The snake snapped it's jaws as it tried to sink its fangs in me. "Karla hurry up!" I yelled, as the snakes tail pulled my feet out from under me, which caused my hold to falter, bringing the snakes head dangerously closer to me.
"Karla!" I yelled through clenched teeth as the python began to wrap itself around me. Not but two seconds later a knife landed in the snakes head, killing it instantly.
I let go, forgetting that snakes go through death spasms once they were dead. I was quickly reminded once the spasms forced the mouth to latch onto my left arm.
I let out a muffled, yelp of surprise as Karla and Alex rushed over to me and quickly pried the snakes mouth off my arm.
"Son of a biscuit!" I muttered as I felt a sharp pain shoot up my arm.
"Ann, language," my mom snapped as she slowly came out of her trance.
"What?" I yelled at her. "I freakin' said 'biscuit'! Besides where the frick are your priorities? I just got bit by a possibly poisonous snake and your concerned with my language?"
My mom quickly closed her mouth as I rolled my eyes. "How much do you like your tablecloth?" I asked my mom in a softer tone.
"It's okay," my mom answered, unsure as to why I had asked a question like that. "Why?"
"No reason," I answered, as I picked up the snake, and threw it on the table. I then took the butcher knife Karla handed me and sliced the snakes head off, making most of the guys gag as blood started to spurt out of the snakes insides.
"What are you ding?" Matt finally decided to inquire, before I started to inspect the snake. "Shouldn't we get you to a doctor in case you were poisoned?"
"I highly doubt it was poison," I answered back as I picked up the snakes head to look for the venom glands with my good hand. Looking over towards the severed body I finally saw what I was looking for. "There it is," I muttered to myself, glancing over at my arm that was bitten. "Would you quit touching my arm! I can't feel it as it is!" I snapped a t Karla as she poked my numb arm, once more.
She smiled a big grin, then looked over at what had my interest. "Hold the body," I told Karla as I grabbed a small metal canister that was where the venom gland would have been.
"What's that?" Johnny asked, as I looked at the small canister to try and find something to tell me what it exactly was.
"I'm not sure," I frowned, while rolling it in my hand to see if I heard any sloshing inside of it. I gripped it in my hand once more, this time spraying the substance into my eyes, making me fall against the bay window seat, shaking my head while trying not to cry.
"Mommy fall," Hazel giggled.
I gave a pained smile. "Yes, mommy fall and now mommy can't see. Oh my gerd this burns," I rubbed at my eyes trying to get the substance out. "Karla, help me to the shower, I need to wash this stuff out," I reached up blindly, searching for her hand. Two pairs of hands grabbed me, pulling me up then Karla led me through the kitchen to the basement where the shower was.
***Matt's POV***
After Ann yelled at me to move, I turned around, to see what the problem was. Behind me was a huge ass snake, just sitting on some display shelves that were there. As soon as I looked at the snakes eyes, I was in a trance. I couldn't move from my spot, all I could feel was overwhelming calmness. I saw the snake coming closer to me, to sink it's fangs into me, which I whole heartedly welcomed.
Right before the snake bit me I was pushed out of the way. I fell to the ground, next to the front door, shaking my head, I looked up to see Ann had the snake in a hold, trying to keep it from biting her .
"Yo, Pyro," Ann called as she once again, dodged the snakes attempts at biting her. "Get a knife," Once Karla was in the kitchen the snake slowly wrapped it's tail around Ann's leg and forced her to the ground, surprising her enough for her to loosen her grip when she hit the floor. The snake managed to wiggle closer to her neck as Ann called for Karla to hurry up, before Ann's grip tightened once more.
"Karla hurry up," Ann yelled through clenched teeth, as the snake started to wrap it's body around her. I saw Alex whip out a pocket knife and throw it, just as Karla came back in with a butcher knife. The knife landed in the snakes head, right as it started to squeeze Ann, killing it instantly.
Ann let out a silent sigh of relief before the snakes body started to spasm. The snakes spasms forced the snakes head to latch onto her upper left arm.e
Ann clenched her teeth together and let out a muffled scream, as Karla and Alex rushed by me and pried the snakes mouth off of Ann's arm. As the head was lifted off of Ann's arm I noticed a small bead of silver liquid drip off of one of the fangs.
"son of a biscuit,"Ann hissed standing up, holding her arm.
Biscuit? I mused, smiling a little, as I stood myself, Not the word I would use.
"Ann language," Ann's mom snapped as she moved forward into the dining room, still holding Hazel.
Language? Really? I thought as I looked towards Lorie, trying to figure out what was going through her mind.
"What?" Ann yelled at her trying to hold back sobs. "I freakin' said 'Biscuit'! Besides where thefrick are you r priorities? I just got bit by a possibly poisonous snake and your concerned with my language?"
Lorie looked towards Ann her face turning slightly red, as Ann glowered at her. "How much do you like your tablecloth?" she asked her mom a few seconds later.
"It's okay," Lorie responded, slowly. "Why?"
"No reason," Ann answered, as she picked up the snake, then tossed it onto the table, making her mom gasp in horror.
Ann took the knife from Karla, twirled it in her hand a couple times, then brought the knife down, severing the head from the body. Everyone jumped and some made gagging noises. I glanced over towards Karla and Alex to see that they hadn't been moved by the beheading at all.
"What are you doing?" I finally asked Ann, figuring we had stalled from going to the doctors long enough. "Shouldn't we get you to a doctor, in case you were poisoned?"
Ann shrugged. "I highly doubt it was poison," she picked up the snakes head looking at it intently. Karla started to poke Ann's left arm lightly, when Ann found what she was looking for. She glanced over towards Karla and watched Karla poke her arm for a couple seconds, "Would you quit touching my arm! I can't feel it as it is!" Ann snapped at Karla, making Karla look up at her innocently.
"Hold the body," Ann ordered, making Karla hold the body as she reached inside the snakes body, then pulled out a small metal cylinder.
"What's that?" Johnny asked, peering over Zacky's shoulder to have a better look.
"I'm not sure," Ann frowned, rolling the canister between her fingers, scrutinizing it. She shifted her grip on the canister slightly, making the canister spray a substance in her face a couple seconds later, making her stumble backwards then fall, while rubbing her eyes.
I rushed over to Ann's side as Hazel squealed. "Mommy fall,"
Ann gave a small smile, "Yes mommy fall and now mommy can't see. OH my gerd this burns," Ann hissed still rubbing at her eyes. "Karla, help me to the shower, I need to wash this stuff out," Ann reached up blindly, waiting for someone to help her up.
Karla and I took one of Ann's hands and helped her up, then Karla led Ann through the kitchen to the basement.
"Will she be okay?" Brian asked quietly, as he made to pick up the canister.
"Don't touch it," Alex swatted his hand away form the canister. "We don't know what effect it'll have on you,"
"We don't know what kind of effect it'll have on Ann," I snapped at Alex.
"At least it won't harm her as much as it would a regular human," Alex snarled back.
"How would you know?" Zacky asked, looking towards Alex.
"Stories," Alex muttered, moodily.
Karla came upstairs a couple seconds after an awkward silence fell over the group.
"How is she?" Alex and Lorie asked at the same time.
Karla shifted uneasily, making red flags leap up in my mind. "Um...okay?"
"What do you mean 'okay'?" Lorie growled.
"Ann, show yourself," Karla called over her shoulder. We all looked towards the kitchen, expectantly to see how Ann was doing.
I knocked Matt out of the way and grabbed the snake right behind the head. "Yo, Pyro," I yelled at Karla, knocking her out of her trance. "Get a knife,"

"I highly doubt it was poison," I answered back as I picked up the snakes head to look for the venom glands with my good hand. Looking over towards the severed body I finally saw what I was looking for. "There it is," I muttered to myself, glancing over at my arm that was bitten. "Would you quit touching my arm! I can't feel it as it is!" I snapped a t Karla as she poked my numb arm, once more.
She smiled a big grin, then looked over at what had my interest. "Hold the body," I told Karla as I grabbed a small metal canister that was where the venom gland would have been.
