the girl they were bullying was a snake if only the bullies knew it all started in the HS of Willow Creek High School which bust with the usual teenage energy a arm of laughter gossip and the occasional sound of loer slamming shots it was a typical school day but there was something unsettling beneath the surface a new undercurrent of tension that had arrived with the school's latest transfer student Sandra Sandra was unlike any other student she moved with quiet Grace her steps light as if she were barely touching the ground her skin was an unusual
shade as if touched by a faint Shimmer in certain lights almost golden in the Sun and cool as Stone in the shade a most distinctive feature though was her eyes deep green with poops that seem to narrow in the light like a Predators a few two students had noticed this strange trait and rumors were already spreading some said she had contact while other whispered she was hiding something sinister The Whispers never reached her directly but Sandra was cleanly aware of the distance that had F between her and her classmates she didn't mind it she had
come to Willow Creek with one goal to keep her true nature eating a grandmother the one person in the world who understood her had warned her about the dangers of exposure Sandra came from an ancient lineage a bloodline touched by the spirit of snakes it was the Heritage that ran in a family passed down from mother to daughter and Sandra had been the next in line to receive the gift or CA as she sometimes thought of it while she could blend in with humans there was a part of her that was always called tense waiting
keeping that part hidden was both a survival Instinct and a necessity a grandmother the only one who knew the full truth had raised her to move through the world like a shadow unseen and untouched stay unnoticed Sandra our grandmother had said let them think you are hard if they must but don't let them see the truth she added at first things were relatively smooth Sandra kept to herself sitting alone at lunch and focusing on her studies she didn't make an effort to speak with others and while some students cast her curious glances no one seemed
particularly inclined to reach out that was until Sabrina noticed Sabrina was everything Sandra wasn't loud confident and obsessed with maintaining a position as the queen bee with her stylish clothes Flawless air and circle of friends that seemed to Orit her like planets around the Sun Sabrina was Untouchable she knew it and she tried under the control that she had over appears to Sabrina Sandra was an odity a strange quiet girl who didn't seem to understand the social rules that governed Willow quick eye and for that Sabrina despised her it started shortly at first with Sabrina
and her friends making snide remarks whenever Sandra walked by he's like so weird have you seen her eyes have you seen the color Sabrina would say a voice just loud enough to be heard setting up Giggles from her friends Sandra felt the stink of their words but forced herself to remain calm she had endured worse and would endure this too but Sabrina wasn't one to LIF things up finished she began to escalate her attacks knocking Sandra's book from her hands as she passed in the hallways sticking out with ridiculous nicknames like lizard girl or creepy
Sandra Sandra tried to ignore it focusing on her grandmother's words of caution she knew that the anger simmering in her veins was dangerous that it had the potential to awaken something that could not be easily controlled still every time Sabrina shed out every mocking whisper every look of disgust made it other to keep our true self contained one day Saina decided to make her disdain even more public as Sandra was walking to our locker Sabrina and her friends cornered her blocking aart Sabrina's eyes sparkled with a crel excitement as though she had been waiting for
this moment hell green eyes Sabrina Sneed her voice dripping with mockery where are your other Cen members or do you s alone our friends bust into laughter their voices sharp and piercing Sandra felt her hands tighten around the straps of her backpack her P quickening She Could Feel The Surge of something cold and acient steering within her a presence that is softly urging her to let go to transform into a snake figure Sandra's expression remained calm but inwardly she was struggling to keep her control her vision sharpened and she was acutely aware of Sabrina's scent
the distant smell of perfume mingling with something s something that a serpent Instinct identified as fear masked by arrogance she could see the quicking Beats of Sabrina's pulse in her neck the slight trembling of her fingers she took a slow breath steuding herself not yet she thought not yet she wasn't ready to risk everything not over Sabrina not over something so petty with one last look into Sabrina's eyes Sandra stepped aside moving past her and disappearing down the hallway Sabrina and her friends continued to laugh mocking her but Sandra was already focused on something deeper
she could feel her inner self written beneath her skin a quiet promise of what she could unleash if she truly wanted to so she just had to walk away as she walked away she made a silent vow if Sabrina pushed her too far if our crty went beyond words and small acts of bullying she would finally allow herself to strike but for now she would bite her time letting the tension coil within her waiting for the moments when her patience would snap and her true nature would be revealed in the shadows Sandra thought about the
in it didn't start suddenly it built up over weeks a quiet Insidious escalation that crept into Sandra's life like a poison she could neither identify nor stop Sabrina the self-proclaimed queen bee of Willow Creek High School was always watching for an opportunity to establish a dominance she had marked Sandra as a Target the moment the strange quiet girl walked into the school school and she intended to make Sandra's life as difficult as possible sometimes Sabrina would swing a backpack just wide enough to eat Sandra's shoulder as she passed by Ming a sarcastic oops before smacking
over her shoulder Tandra kept her head down gripping her books tightly telling herself it would pass her grandmother's words echoed in her mind reminding her to keep calm stay unnoticed not to let her true nature show she had kept herself eaing for years she could endure this to Sandra said to herself but Sabrina's torment only grew worse The Whispers And casual bombs soon turned into something more calculated Sabrina enlisted two of our closest friends kie and bet who were more than happy to join in they began to single Sandra out at lunch sitting themselves near
a table and accidentally spilling drinks nearby sometimes drenching her books or clothes one afternoon kie even reached over and grabbed Sandra's notebook holding it just out of her reach while she laughed what is the matter ugly girl are you scared to e at me kie teased atone dripping with mockery Tandra felt a cold rage simmering with with her a tingling at the base of her spine that she recognized as a warning she took a deep breath forcing herself to stay composed she couldn't afford to lose control not now she simply sat there letting cie and
bet laugh as the top pages from her notebook Saina watched from across the table her expression smoke as if she were conducting the entire scene from a throne sabina's next move was even more public after a week of tormenting Sandra in the cafeteria and always he orchestrated an incident in the science lab Tandra was carefully setting up our materials for an experiment when Sabrina bumped into her knocking the equipment to the floor glass shattered chemicals spilled and Sabrina F shock raising our voice for everyone to hear Sandra can't you be more careful or are your
Skelly hands too clumpsy for basic science she mocked the other students laughed and Sandra clenched her fist pilling the OD to strike she could see Sabrina's smirk the glimpse of Triumph in her eyes Dearing her to react she forced herself to stay still to keep her emotions in check but her pulse was resing and she knew she was close to a breaking points she could feel the familiar prickling Sensation that signaled the transformation locking beneath her skin ready to emerge that evening Tandra returned home in a silent rage her body tense and her mind racing
her grandmother noticed her sharp eyes catching the telltale signs the narrowed poops the Fain Shimmer under Sandra's skin she gently took Sandra's hands her voice soft but firm you must not give him Sandra they are not worth it I know grandmother Sandra replied I voice a strained whisper but it is getting harder they pushing me a grandmother gave her a solemn look nodding as if she understood patience my child our grandmother said always the next day Sabrina oped a game once again determined to humiliate Sandra in front of the entire school she arranged for kie
and Bets to sneak into Sandra's locer before classes started where they stopped it with crumpled paper covered in crude drawings of green eyed lizards and C insults scribbled in bright ink lizard Gale snake eyes creepy creature and so on when Sandra opened a locker the papers stumbled out scattering across the hway floor the other students laughed and pointed some whispering in amusements others openly mocking her Sandra stared at the mess a vision blurring as anger wed up inside of her she felt something slitting just beneath her skin a cold pulsing Force urging her to release
it to let go and strike but she held back forcing herself to close Al locer cly picking up the papers one by one with a strange measured Grace Sabrina watched from the crowd her arms crossed a self-satisfying smack playing on her lips this was exactly the reaction she had wanted a display of power over Sandra a public humiliation that solidified her own dominance but as Sandra gathered the last of the papers and straightened she looked up her eyes locking onto saas with an intensity that made the queen be falter for just a moment for the
first time Sabina felt a strange sh run down as spine although she quickly sh it off but Sandra's gaze lingered unblinking unflinching a quiet warning that went unspoken Sandra turned and walked away but inside she felt something shift she knew that patience could only stretch so far that there would come a time when our restraints would snap and when that moment arrived Sabrina and her friends would finally see what they had been toying with as she walked down the hallway turn Ra's hand brushed against her arm feeling the faint scales that had started to emerge
she was starting to turn to a snake figure the raain had cleared by afternoon living behind damp glistening Pavements and puddles that reflected the gray sky Sandra moved through the school's Courtyard her mind focused on her grandmother's words of caution and control but the laughter that followed her wherever she went was particularly loud today and she felt felt an uneasy sense of being watched just as she passed the fountain at the center of the schoolyard she felt a hard sho from behind she stumbled forward her shoes splashing into a large puddle mud flattering up her
legs and onto her school bag the laugh swelled and she turned Sabrina was there standing with a hand on her Eep and a look of smoke satisfaction on her face look out ugly girl Sabrina taunted loud enough for everyone nearby to hear wouldn't you want to get back into the mod where you belong a voice dripped with sarcasm and our friends kie and bet crackled in the lights adding their own mocking comments as they cired her like vultures Sandra pulled herself up adjusted her bag and walked away without a word ignoring the laughter that echoed
behind her she could feel their eyes on her as she left but she didn't turn back later that day when the school was emptying out Sandra sleeped around the side of the building a senses King a focused Shar she had finally had enough and she was going to teach Sabrina a lesson she saw Sabrina heading toward the back exit alone her friends nowhere in sight leaving her vulnerable and unsuspecting the late afternoon Shadows stretched long across the ground perfect for for hiding Tandra felt the cold coiling energy steer inside of her ready to emerge and

Sabrina let out a strangled cry stumbling forward as she felt a sharp burning pain shoot up her leg she wed around her eyes wide with panic but saw nothing but empty air and Shadows the school grounds were silent as Sabrina clutched her ancle her breeding wrecked she looked down spotting two pure marks that began to swell Asin around the bite turning a strange mtled shade confusion Twisted across her face as the dizziness set in a blurring slightly she stumbled forward trying to call out but her voice came out weak and strangled Sandra had already vanished
shifting back into the Shadows watching from a distance as Sabrina struggled to stand she allowed herself a moment of satisfaction as she observed the confusion and the fear that clouded Sabrina's face it was the first time she had seen the girl shaking stripped of her usual confidence and and it felt like a small silent Victory by the next morning Sabina was absent from school her friends whispered about how she had fallen mysteriously ill overnight aler swollen and feverish the doctors at a loss to explain as symptoms rumors spread quickly with students speculating that a poisonous
snake might have gotten loose on campus others said it was a prank gone wrong or that Sabrina was faking it to get attention Sandra sat quietly in the back of the classroom listening to the theory circulating around her she maintained a usual calm expression but inside she felt a deep sense of satisfaction the bite had been a warning a reminder that she was not as helpless as Sabrina and her friends had assumed she had her own ways of fighting back ways that didn't require words or confrontation Sabrina's absence cast a strange tension over the school
