The air was dry, but snakes have a lower body temperature.
The three baby snakes intuitively transformed into their serpentine forms and clung to Si Yan, cooling her down.
She had to admit, it wasn't bad at all to sleep with her snake babies in the heat.
She caressed each of the babies' small heads in turn and closed her eyes, drifting off to sleep.
In her dream, she found herself in an unfamiliar place, entwined tightly by a cold, purple snake.
She could hardly breathe.
She was terrified yet unable to control her own actions; she was suddenly pulled into the deepest part of the snake's belly.
The pain throughout her body nearly made her faint.
She felt like someone drowning.
"ALERT!!!"
The urgent voice startled Si Yan awake.
She sat up abruptly, drenched in cold sweat, and wiped her forehead.
Could it be because I was sleeping with the babies? How could I dream about... *that*... with a snake? I've never been into such hardcore stuff!
