I woke up in the middle of the night, i couldn't sleep I got up out of bed and down the stairs, I really didn't know the orphanage very well, I walked for a while until I got to what seemed to be a basement, I don't know why but I went down the stairs, when I got there it seemed like a normal basement until I noticed green eyes staring at me from the shadows. A snake came out of nowhere, it was long and its color was a dark green that hypnotizes you, he crawled towards me and stood up on his tail, he looked at me with eyes full of curiosity and surprise, as if they couldn't believe that I was seeing him.
You are beautiful, what are you doing here? I asked
Wait, do you see me? he answered.....wait a damn second does the snake speak?
Oh my demonds, you hear me! you see me! the snake said.
Yeah and I don't think I should be able to hear you, since when do snakes talk? I asked.
They don't, I'm a hydra, I'm sure know what I am.
You talk about the ones that if you cut off their head, they get 2?
Yep that's what I am, it's weird since normally a human wouldn't see me, much less hear me.
Oh, and tell me, what's your name? I asked him.
I don't have, never bothered to wear one.
Does that mean I can give you one? please!!!
Fine, but if you put me something stupid I'll kill you.
So, how about serpent?
nah, very ugly
And what do you think of slyther?
hell no
I know, Hyper!
I guess that's okay.
yey!!!
Oh I forgot, now I am your guardian.
My what?! you mean like mushu?
Something like that, my job is to take care of you.
What am I supposed to say when they see you: "Oh yeah look, I have a talking snake"? NO!
Don't worry, I can be so small, I can fit in your pocket.
Well that's convenient, let's go.
Hyper got into my pocket and we went up to the bedroom, I crawled back into bed and made sure Hyper was comfortable. The next morning I went down to breakfast with Hyper in my pocket, obviously I told Zake about Hyper and at first he was scared because the snake spoke but then he became fond of him.
So hyper, you are Akanes guardian, right? Zake asked.
Yep, you should go down too, maybe you found one. Hyper said
Wait, what?! You are telling us there's more?! I asked not so calmly.
Yeah, haven't you heard about the underworld?
Underworld?! Zake and I shouted.
Don't shout! Are you crazy?! someone could hear you!
Before being able to say something else someone enter the room.
Hi there, my name is yuu, what's your name?
I hide behind Zake's back while I took out a knife that we had hidden under the pillow.
Hey, don't worry I'm not gonna hurt you little one.
Don't call him little, Zake said dryly.
Okay Sorry, but could you please answer?
I'm Zake and his name's Akane, now what do you want?
Well you haven't eaten anything in the day and Kiyoko asked me to come get you.
I- I'm not hungry I stutter. Since the dead of my mom other people made me uncomfortable.
Give a moment okay? yuu said before going out of the room.
A few minutes later he came in with company. Behind him was a another kid, they look about the same age but the other kid was smaller than yuu.
Hi, My name is micheal, yuu- chan told me that you didn't want to eat, is it because of some reason?
I backed off fast and started trembling, I was about to cry when suddenly hyper jumped out of my pocket and started to try and bite yuu and micheal.
Mika it's a hydra back off!! yuu screamed
The hell!! Micheal screamed
Okay, First why did you called him Mika? Second why are you so scared of hyper? And third how do you see him? i started asking, something was off.
Answering the first question, his real name is in russian and the traduction would be mikaela but only close people call him that, the other ones call him Micheal.
Answering the second one, hydras are extremely poisonous, a little bite and you cross the side.
And Answering the question only hybrids can see the creatures but hydras are difficult to find.
Now YOU tell me how can see him and why was he in your pocket.
Well I found him in the basement so they aren't that difficult to find and I have no idea why I can see him. He's with me because he said that he's my guardian.
Micheal and yuu turn to each other and then back at us, they have a weird expression on their faces, after a while they finally spoke again "come with us" they said, they looked serious so Zake and I followed them. We arrived to the place, it was the office of Kiyoko, we entered but waited near the door. Yuu and micheal started to explain Kiyoko, she looked at us pale and asked me if I could show her. I didn't wanted to show her but I didn't really had a choice, when Hyper saw her he started hissing at her, I looked at him surprised, he didn't react that way before so I kept him close to me.
