Of Course, But also A changed woman as she Accepts her new fate and gains a new power in return…

Early next morning Maggie groaned as she twisted and turn in the sheets as her dreams plagued her mind as she walks through a lush forest hearing a rattling sound as she spoke hello is anyone around as she continued to hear the hissing sounds all around her…. Don’t Be Afraid…. Who Are you…? You Know Who I am as you are now a part of me as I want to be a part of you…

Where are you… Insssside of you…. Inside me as she looked into a beautiful clear creek bed startling herself at the reflection to see a snake hybrid looking back at her… No way is that me… It is you or could be you if you chose it to be…. What are you… you know of ussss and our kindsssss…? I do…. Maggie my dear Maggie my queen asssked me to sssave you last night don’t you remember as her dream state started to return in flashbacks…. Am I dead…?

No far from it my dear Queen Sassali saved you by asssking me to meld with you to heal your wounds…. You mean I became like…. Yesssss my dear…. Where do we go now… that dependssss on you… on me as Megan screamed mom come quick it’s Maggie…

Sam Held on her sister as she cried wondering if her lover was rejecting the gift when Maggie bolted straight up as her human eyes turned to emerald slits and golden orbs then returning looking around where am I … when Maggie saw Megan… Meg what happened where… calm down love you was critically injured when Seiko sat down beside her and said I chose to save you without your consent because in you I saw the same as I see in my own children… you mean I am like them now… not unless you choose to return the power… you mean I could reject it… Of course, Lieutenant Sparrow you can and not reflect anything bad towards you and my daughter…

Did I change into a snake…? Yes, you did dear your body accepted the volatile Rattler and saved my daughter and her sisters… I did it is all jumbled my mind… that is common after the first change as Queen Amaunet walked toward Maggie naked in her own flawless skin OH MY GOD she… she has… A… A… we know Maggie calm down as Amuni, and the rest of the Futa women came in behind Megan and her Sisters….

Where is your brother Maggie spoke when Megan said I let my guard down when I came to your aide and that Frozen Reject tried to cap us off together Bozza jumped in front of us… is he… not dead my dear but frozen in a block of Ice… but Maggie if you choose not to… I’m in… Wait what… you heard me Megan I’m in and there is nothing changing my mind about this… Are you sure because once you commit you can’t go back…?

Meg listen to me you are special to me and now besides your sisters and brother you will have another one to confide in as Sam said Maggie your Rattler form was a bad ass bitch… I was Maggie spoke as Sam said hell yeah you mowed down them dead ass fuckers like fucking Rambo… as Maggie could sense… Sheh is that you as Sam spoke guilty as charge when she went around the room to see Hexx as Morgan spoke that’s me dear… Thraz as Alex said welcome to the Snake pit Maggie then Bozza…. Our brother Pete they all spoke downward worried…

Seiko spoke my dear Maggie you just stepped into a larger world as she closed her eyes to reopen them with snake silted eyes as she saw the world in a whole new light as she said wow is this like this all the time… Yes, we gorgons see body heat of and pheromones of humans as Maggie spoke this is cool when Maggie felt the pain Pete felt grabbing her head as Megan, Morgan, Seiko, Lex and Sam felt it too…

He is in pain as they helped Maggie up and allowed her to slip in a robe when they walked to the living quarters to see Pete still frozen as Maggie was quickly drawn to him placing her hand on the ice Pete I can sense your pain I promise we are quickly trying to get you free thank you for protecting me and Megan last night I will not forget this…

When everyone around her was stunned to see her speak back to the block of ice… what is going on Maggie… Pete is scared frightened his pain being cold…. When Seiko said my…my…my you my dear are special indeed besides getting the rattler namesake it also seems like you picked up emphatic abilities… what do you mean Queen Sassali… it means you can read thoughts and feel pain of others you touch…

When Maggie said my queen as Seiko spoke please you may call me mom dear as you will be a daughter soon embarrassing her daughter as Meg said Mom stop that making Amaunet and her family smile as she said please no more close calls like that again as they began to retire to their separate chambers…

Maggie said you know maybe this hero stuff is not that bad as Sam said you know Rattler is not a very bad name as Maggie laughed no Rattler sounds like a cheap 80s band with bad hairdos as Sam said Sister of the hive come on as Meg walked away….

Maggie came up are you… I was worried sick about you Baby I thought… hey listen to me I am ok better now even… what about your career as Lieutenant don’t know yet dear… so you are not upset with mother… upset baby this gift your mother gave me now I know what you feel and what you go through with every change besides it was my fault I should have stayed back or else I wouldn’t be here now maybe this is my fate to become something I ran out a long time ago….

Maggie, please listen to me I was slow to stop them… stop it, Megan please damn it you couldn’t known it was going to happen just know you and your kin are not alone anymore making Megan smile in return…

Maggie said there is the bright smile I love dear kissing her lips slipping her the tongue surprising Meg when she coiled her now slender reptilian tongue around Megs own changing forked tongue making her moan in unison when Meg spoke keep that up dear and I will show you what we can really do with our gifts giving her a dirty look as Maggie spoke oh when Meg whispered into her ear peaking her interests OOOHH we definitely have to try that now don’t we, as they snickered as Sam and Morgan watched over their brother while Alex cried brother we will free you as she walked towards the balcony as Morgan said Sister where are you going… Out… we can see that dear… Leave me be… Sister come on please talk to us…

When Sam said she’s hurting too dear let her… Pete is not dead… seeing him like this though to her… let her get the anguish out she can handle herself… that is what I am afraid of if someone pushes her the wrong way… Sis we all are dealing with this defeat and licking our wounds some more than others As Sam and Morgan retired to their rooms for the night as Sekhmet and Nefertiti took over watch of their frozen brother in arms studying the ancient Egyptian texts to reverse his predicament….

Maggie and Megan lied down to their borrowed bed as Meg felt her lover up close feeling the newly formed tat on her lover’s shoulder that signified her being blessed by gorgon’s right as Maggie said I never liked tattoos before…

When Megan said this mark is more than a tattoo… Oh, Maggie spoke back… it is my mother’s marking… like a royal stamp… something like that dear mom told me gorgons in the old days used to mark their tribes with different markings, so they would be able to know what hierarchy or tribe they belonged to…

Maggie said well I think it does suit me don’t it… that it does dear Megan smiled holding her tightly as Maggie said baby just hold me close don’t get me wrong, I still want to have this relationship with you but I need to learn this as Megan kissed her forehead, we’ll learn together as Maggie Sparrow fell fast asleep in her lovers arms passed out as she muttered out a name Răzbunare as Megan said what dear…. Răzbunare its Romanian… for what dear… Vengeance making Megan smile as the two lovers slept peacefully together arm in arm as the stars filled the skies as a shooting star blazoned the skyline…
