c2 (2/2)

......

She went into her bedroom while quietly sobbing. Her parents actually forced her to do something she does not want to. Grief fills her chest. She absentmindly went onto her balcony, and breathed. In and out, she exhaled and inhaled as her sadness soon dwindled to a matchstick flame.

As though her state of mind could affect even the weather, the clear sky was soon covered by dark, grey clouds. Thunder roared and rain falls to the ground. Many did not expect the weather to change so drastically, and they could only run for shelter in a panic.

Suddenly, a silver lightning streaked through the sky. Fleeting like a comet, it's beautiful streak went unnoticed but only to those with a keen eye.

Not long after, the clouds cleared. The sky returned to its usual blue. Not a single grey cloud remained as proof of the previous storm.

All of this happened in a blink of an eye. If it's not for the wet ground, she would have a.s.sumed all of it is just a trick of the light. Mu Tang Chun had her mouth in an 'O' shape as she stared in disbelief at the sky. Heavens, is this a dream? This is more surprising than watching a movie!

However, all this while, she did not notice a silver light heading towards where she stood in a free fall. Once she did, it was already too late. With a loud smack, the falling object landed on the top of her head.

”Whoa! A snake?!”

She clutched her b.u.mp on her head while yelling out loud in surprise at the mystery falling object. As soon as she noticed it's a white snake, all colour drained from her face and she screamed. It's a snake! Oh G.o.ds! She was bitten by a snake when she was young. Ever since then, she would s.h.i.+ver in fear when a snake is spotted.

Now that one appeared right in front of her, it's only natural for her to scream in fright. Then, without any hesitation, she stamped the snake with her very two feet repeatedly.
