Description Duncan opened his eyes and watched with horrid fascination as the pack of dingos, surrounding him in a perfect circle, dissolved into flames. The individual flames stretched and reached out to become one with flame next to until there was a ring of burning fiery around Duncan. In a blink of a second, the fire extinguished and in its place was a long body of flesh and scales. A malicious rattling vibrated the air, filling it with an ominous feeling of dread.

The serpentine body twisted and a triangular head rose from behind a coil, its small horns scraping the blackness. A long, forked tongue slid out of its mouth and darted back again. It was a giant rattlesnake.

Duncan was frozen in place at the sight of the being of nightmares. The monstrous serpent hissed and, as quick as lightning, wrapped its coiled tightly around Duncan's body, squeezing him tightly as if he were but a helpless mouse.

Duncan trembled as the rattlesnake lowered its scaled head close to Duncan's. Its green eyes gleamed and stared straight into Duncan's terrified teal ones. The emerald orbs shone with evil delight as the snake opened its gaping mouth- revealing two large, curving fangs of venom- and spoke.

"What's the matter, bromigo?" Alejandro hissed, flicking his forked tongue in Duncan's horrified face. "Drowning in your own venom?"

Duncan opened his mouth in a noiseless scream as the malevolent wrath reared its evil head back, fangs bared.

"Allow me to help!"

The scream finally came as the snake struck.

"NO!"

~Excerpt from Chapter 5 of "Candy for Your Thoughts"

----

Well, my popular Total Drama story "Candy for Your Thoughts" is coming to an end with only one chapter left plus the epilogue. I'm trying to get the last chapter up before it's time for me to return to SCAD, but alas, just like with "The Princess and the Spider" the second to last chapter always gives me the most trouble because I want it to be a perfect ending. The Epilogues are always easy because it just wraps everything up.

This nightmare scene was one of my favorite ones to write in the story and it seems to be a favorite of many of the readers. So I decided to take a break from writing and color this sketch up for my beloved, loyal readers. I loved drawing the Alejandro rattlesnake to death. He may scare Duncan shitless, but boy is he kickass.xD

Anywho, I hope this is a nice treat for all those awaiting more of "Candy for Your Thoughts"!

And for those who haven't read it, here's a link: [link]

Read it. Enjoy the CoCo goodness and may it give you a good case of cavities.

Alejandro as a snake is simply PERFECT, not only for his general sneaky attitude, but for his hissing before he kissed Heather's doll in TDWT's last episode. That and his tongue made me relate him with Orochimaru from "Naruto" XD.
Once again, you impress us not only with your narrative, but with your stunning illustrations too. Amazing job!

The snake transformation reminds one of Jafar, doesn't it?

Dude, don't even think about Al as a genie. Imagine the sheer chaos! The Apophis asteroid would be like a pebble.

SMerkelplz In reply to Novanplz [2011-08-28 01:28:32 +0000 UTC]

Oh the horror. Wait what asteroid?

Besides, Al doesn't laugh as much as Jafar does. That's why he didn't get the part in my local town theater's Aladdin production. I'd audition, but I'd have to have my whole body spray painted red.

Owen would make a good Genie.

True.... Cool! Yeah, he would.

This asteroid: Asteroid 99942 Apophis- [link] Named for Apep, or Apophis, the most Chaotic evil EVER to exist according to Egyptian myth.

But just imagine how much blue paint they'd have to use.

Okay I'm scared now. Especially since my creator lives on the West Coast.

Besides, Al can't do anything if he's sealed inside a lamp. (oh wait... Gary might release him.) We gotta keep Al's lamp away from Garrett!

Let's just drop it in a volcano. Worked once.

They don't know that's where it'll hit. Besides, if yer lucky, you'll be dead before it hits!

SMerkelplz In reply to Novanplz [2011-08-28 02:45:32 +0000 UTC]

Yup it did. I might go back to that desert land in search of a good genie.

I doubt I'll be dead. I'm only 18 you know.
