"Maybe something is looking for us," Clyde said in a hushed tone. His voice trembled as he spoke, a side effect of the fear building up in his head. He continued to walk along, but his sister had started skipping again, humming a tune to herself. "Shhhh," he warned his ecstatic sister. "You'll likely wake something we don't want to wake up." Just then, he felt something on his left front paw. "Too late," he whispered, his voice more trembling than before. He was stopped in his tracks as he looked down to his leg, which had donned a companion he hadn't hoped for. It was a medium to small sized snake, who's striped pattern went black yellow black red, repeating that pattern all the way to the tip. "It's gonna kill me," his voice now a little whiny. "Relax brother," said Blinky, who then grabbed it by the tail-tip. "It's just a coral snake. Remember that rhyme I use to say? Red on black, a friend of Jack. Black on yellow'll kill a fellow?" She tossed the animal to the side, then went back to skipping.
