Which came first, the phoenix or the flame? Ok. They were just garden snakes. Not an Eastern Brown Snake or anything like that. She could handle this. She went to hold the snake, but it just hissed and slithered in the other direction. What? She wasn't suspicious at all... or was she? Everyone thought that she'd been acting weird. She got distracted for a moment, raising her hand. "Professor, can you give Emmerson her points back? Pleeeease? That isn't her. She's acting different. And she sounds like the ghost. It's not fair to take points." Ashley had no love for Emmerson Cambridge, but it was obvious she was acting strange, and it wouldn't be fair to take her points like that. Also, the behavior seemed familiar, and she couldn't think why. She went back to the snake. "Please little snake, I'm not suspicious. Pleeeease. Don't be afraid." The snake didn't move towards her, but it didn't move away either. "See Irithel? It's a nice snakey." |
