Embrace the chill

The hours where early when she found herself blinking into conciousness. Lately the days had been hard, empty and lonely with her brother constantly exploring around them and not always beside her. More then, she had been told to stay and she would never disobey her brother. Without knowing the boundaries of her new home she was hesitant to stray far and weary of the unknowns regardless. Her days where empty, and often spent in sleep or an almost dream-like haze.



Today however would be different, she would feel the weight of her brother around her, coiled coolly against her skin in a tight embrace. A sigh would escape her lips as she twitched a paw out towards him.. to find nothing but blank air where he should have been. Surprised, her eyes would blink open in confusion, and she would be confronted not with the sight of her brother but that of a snake coiled in sleep about her warm form. She would freeze for a heartbeat, but the timid little creature could not deal with stress or fear. She would let out a silver little shriek and attempt to fight her way lose of the coiled creature. Its cold eyes would slip open and settle upon her, and its wound body would only tighten until her breathing was rigid and stressed. ?Scorpion, oh Scorpion? she sobbed, needing her protector and brother.
