The room was dark as even the moon could not illuminate it thanks to the thick clouds concealing it.
Darkness overshadowed the entire land and not a sound was heard this fateful night.
An eerie silence resembling the calm before a vicious storm had taken over the entire Valente estate.
Inside the bedroom where Yvonne was still fast asleep, the snake constricting her body was gazing down at her intently.
Its glowing neon green eyes were watching the child's steady breathing which indicated that she would not wake up any time soon.
Hovering above her face, the snake leaned closer to her ear and stared at that tiny white earlobe right before its eyes.
Its mouth opened and a long black tongue slithered out.
Finally, a sound was heard in the silent room.
*Hiss*
The snake hissed right into her ears but Yvonne exhibited no signs of waking up from her deep slumber.
