(yay! ur back! ^^)
Kanni's hand was gripped tightly around Prem's shoulder as she stumbled through the halls after him. She was wearing light blue jeans that frayed at the bottom with a plain coral sleeveless shirt. Her feet were bare and the marble felt icy to her skin, she was glad she was on the carpet now again. They stepped into the elevator and Kanni could hear the shuffles of students next to her, almost able to see that they were shooting her glances of interest. "Ah! Hey, Kanni. Haven't seen you in a while," Brad's voice said from next to her as he clapped her shoulder. "Hey, what happened? You blind now?"
"Only temporarily, so back off," Premidas growled.
"Aw, come on. I'm only concerned about a friend," Brad cooed snidely.
"Yeah, right," Premidas shot back and jerked forward, leading Kanni from the elevator as it held at their stop. She stumbled out and took a turn, the rest of the way to her room almost memorized. Finally Premidas stopped and grabbed her hands, placing them around the cold metal lock. She fingered the soft buttons and could almost see each one of them. She quickly typed in the code and the lock sprang open. She pushed open the door and felt a light breeze coming from within.
"Holy shit!" Premidas breathed and pushed her slightly back.
"What?"
"Kan, how big did you say that snake was going to get?"
"Only half an arm length, why?" Kanni felt her muscles tense as she heard a low hiss from the back of the room.
"It's gotten a bloody fifteen feet long! At least!" Premidas wailed and spun around, grabbing Kanni's arms and trying to tug her away. She wrenched her arm free and held her ground, her hands groping forward for the monster.
"Rothen?" she asked softly. "Rothen, where are you?" A low hiss answered from the back of her room. Kanni's gaze shot towards the noise. A sudden vision flashed behind her eyes, blitzing through her mind. It was a picture of Rothen, a huge dark-green, almost black, snake huddled by a ripped open fridge doors. Little meat peices lay scattered near him and he was gorging them down like a starving wolf. Her head let out a sear of pain, but left as soon as it had come. "Rothen?" Kanni asked again, staggering a step forward into her room, even though her instincts were pleading--screaming--for her to turn around and run.
Another low his of content came from her right where the fridge had lain. "Rothen?"
"Kannnnniiii?" a voice hissed back in some surprise. A sudden coldness brushed her fingers and she flinched. Clamping them around something strong she realized it was Rothen's neck. His scales neatly overlapped each other, all rough and icy. "What the hell happened?" she finally managed after fingering her snake's head to make sure he was facing her.
A sudden pain eruppted in her right arm as she felt two long fangs slide through. She screamed in mostly surprise and tried to pull away, but the grip was too tight. It suddenly pulled down, wrenching her off balance as she tumbled to the floor below. Then she felt the same icy coldness begin to wrap around her body and begin to tighten, making her gasp in pain, the air coming harder and harder to suck in. What was going on?! Rothen!
