Venomous

This is the seventeenth episode of Diamond Man's Untitled Series. Enjoy!

Episode
Owen is at school reading a Sailor Moon book. Some kids come up to him.

Kid: Hey Owen! Reading one of your gay books?

Owen: J-Just leave me alone please.

Kid 2: You're so stupid Owen!

Kid 3: Yeah! Why can't you be cool and strong like your dad?

That comment actually hurts Owen. The school bell rings, and Owen runs home, on the verge of crying. He gets to his house and sits down.

Owen(crying): W-Why do they have to be so mean? I don't do anything to them.....They just hate me!!

Owen goes into his room, and lays down on his bed.

Owen: Why does everyone always make fun of me?

Owen sighs. He then hears something in his closet. He goes over to check it out. He opens the door, and sees a big purple snake, looking weak and tired. Owen would normally be scared by this, but he strangely felt calm and relaxed around the snake.

Aspidites: Please.....

Owen: A.....Are you ok?

Owen bends down to get at Aspidites' level.

Aspidites: Please......

Owen: A-Are you hurt?

Aspidites: Food.......

Owen felt the urge to help her, but he couldn't understand why.

Owen quickly runs downstairs and grabs an apple. He then runs back upstairs, and goes up to Aspidites.

Owen: Here you go.

Aspidites eats the apple in one bite.

Aspidites: Th-Thank you.

Owen: Do you need anything else?

Aspidites' eyes glow. She grins.

Aspidites: Yessssss.

Owen draws closer, as if his body was moving on his own. He seemed to soften when he got close to Aspidites.

Aspidites: Closer.......Yes.......closer.......

Owen gets very close, and his eyes meet Aspidites' eyes. Her eyes glow brighter than they did before. Owen stops moving. Owen's pupils get very small.

Aspidites: That's right.......

Aspidites slithers closer to Owen and bites him in his shoulder. Owen doesn't flinch or even blink. Aspidites snickers and starts to coil around Owen.

Aspidites(as she coils around Owen): You should be proud of yourself boy. You took the shortest amount of time to hypnotize than anyone I've ever hypnotized before. You must not possess that much willpower. (snicker)

She has coiled around most of Owen's body. She rests her head on Owen's shoulder.

Aspidites: Sorry for biting you kid, the venom is so you don't accidentally break free of my control. (more evil laugher) But anyways, let's get to work.

She camouflages so she can't be seen on Owen. Owen stands up. Sarth comes in his room.

Sarth: Hey Owen! Sorry I haven't been home the past week, but I had a lot of work.

Owen is facing the other direction.

Sarth: Hey, are you ok?

Owen turns his head slowly.

Owen: I'm..........fine.........

He sits down at his desk.

Sarth shrugs.

Sarth: Ok then.

Sarth closes the door. Aspidites uncamouflages.

Aspidites: I hope you aren't too attached to your father. Cause we're going to kill him.

She coils around Owen's neck.

Aspidites: Heh heh heh......
