And then they slithered away

Manea continued her search and was just beginning to get a bit frustrated with the fact that she had been spotting them here and there, but now that she was actually looking for them they were getting to be impossible to find. She supposed that was always the way these things went and was about to call off the hunt when she heard some rustling and movement from the direction of her son soon followed by a very distinctive rattling sound. Her head popped up and she looked toward where Saracyn was standing several feet away, her expression dropping as she realized what was going on even before he called to her to tell her what he had found. "Back away from it," she told him firmly as she started quietly moving toward him, not wanting to startle the rattle snake he had happened upon. She hadn't been sure about what kind of snakes had taken up residence in the brush around the lake, but now that she knew there were rattlesnakes involved she regretted getting Saracyn involved. "Just back away quietly and carefully."
