"Curly!" Sienna Johnson's hand flew to her chest, her heart pounding. She felt like her heart was about to jump out.
In the bird's nest on the tree, there were no small bird eggs, just a large, thick-bodied snake coiled up. The snake had devoured the eggs in the nest and was now resting there.
Curly reached into the nest, intending to feel for the eggs, but was bitten by the snake. That wasn't the worst part; the most terrifying thing was that the snake then wrapped itself around Curly's chubby arm. Fear drained the color from Curly's small face.
"AAAHHH..." Curly's desperate, high-pitched scream echoed throughout the base.
Everyone in the base heard it and stopped what they were doing, looking bewildered, unsure of what had happened.
"Hurry, save her..." Sienna yelled.
A figure flashed past, and someone started climbing the tree, but Curly lost her balance and fell.
