There's A Snake In My Boots Novels & Stories

All those girls—the ones I had trained with, the ones who had shared their bread with me—they were standing on a giant bomb. Something slimy touched my ankle. I looked down and saw a thick, black snake slithering over my boot. "AH!" I screamed before I could stop myself. "Who’s there?" one of the men yelled. He started walking toward my bush. "Probably just a snake," his partner called out. "Leave it. We have to get to the detonator." The man hesitated, then turned around. They disappeared into the dark. I didn't head for the road. I didn't head for freedom. I turned around and ran back toward the hell I had just escaped.

Why would the parents leave such a cute boy behind? Just when she was about to speak, a snake as thick as her wrist slithered into view, and it seemed to aim for the boy’s ankle.

Rob innocently turned his head towards the handsome Alpha and tried to ignore my questioning glance. “I was just saying that as soon as those nitwits must have opened the bathroom door, a splash of hot concrete tar must have poured on them and the snakes must have bound them by now,” he concluded. “What the hell dude ? Where did you get the snakes from and what were those ear deafening blasts ?” Rob asked shocked.

Little Black Snake just giggled, then stopped giggling right away: "Boss, what if I die after tasting this? It's fine if I lose my snake life, but I still have to take the civil service exam! I can't die for nothing!" Amelia just grabbed the snake's head with one hand and pushed it into the water: "You're immune to all poisons, what are you scared of!" Little Black Snake gurgled in the water, then after a few seconds lifted its head up: "Does it feel right?" Little Black Snake shook its head: "This smells even stronger than the water at the farmer's market!"

I bolted to the direction of her voice, hoping nothing happened to her. “LILY?!! Lily!”, I called out to her if she could hear me. “Nikolai!!!”, She called back and I was relieved, I ran faster and the rain started pouring down seriously. “Nikolai help!", She yelled again, crying. I tried listening carefully to where her voice was coming from and I ran towards it. I finally saw her but something was wrong, a large snake was in front of her. ‘Fuck shit, it was a Boa!’, I cussed in my head.

After which, he returned with antiseptic and bandages. “Do you see what I’m wearing on my feet?” he asked with a sharp tone. “I do my best to keep the lawn cropped close and free of snakes, but sometimes they sneak in; especially where the grass is still tall. Never ever come out here barefoot. Understand? That was a copperhead that bit you. They’re not abundant, but they’re around.” “I didn’t know,” she muttered. “If I hadn’t been there…,” he continued as he paced back and forth in front of her. “Do you understand?”

For the first time in weeks that I had been here, my smile came out, I was freaking happy. “Big boss...” Ian called tapping my shoulder gently and I turned to him wondering what he wanted. He was stiff, looking like he had been stuck by thunder until I noticed what he was pointing at. “Fuck!” I growled when I saw the freaking rattlesnake entering my trouser. Ian took the time to yank it out by the tail before it was able to bite me. He threw the wild animal away. “Did it bite you?” asked Ian squatting to look at my leg.

he suggested. My eyes widened, my lips forming a pout. "What if I fall?" He grinned, his dimples digging his cheek as he held out his hands. "I'll be right here to catch you. Besides, I won't let anything happen to you." I hesitated for a moment, my gaze locked with his and then I nodded, placing his foot on his palm, allowing him to boost me up. After gathering a handful of fruits, my joyful expression turned to one of sheer terror. My eyes widened, and my scream pierced the air as I pointed at something near my feet. My heart raced as he followed my gaze and spotted the slithering green creature - a snake.

Annoying me until all I want to do is kick him down a hill. "If you're not going to carry me then I'll just stay here." I huffed before sitting on the ground and crossed my arms and pouted like a little kid. He walked passed me and I refrained from throwing a rock at his head. He turned around chuckling while shaking his head at me. " You know you're really stubborn." He said. " Why thank you." I smiled sarcastically. " There are snakes and bears here." He revealed. "Nice try but that doesn't scare me." I said arrogantly but deep down I was about to shit my pants when I heard the word snake. I have seen anaconda and it doesn't end well.
