Chapter 9 Want Her Dead

Arielle decided to get up to look around. But instead of turning on the lights, she chose to rely on her phone’s illumination as she searched every corner of the room.

Hiss!

All of a sudden, she heard something odd that sounded like someone was breathing rapidly.

It took a while, but Arielle managed to pinpoint the source of the sound. It came from her bed and was only about three feet away from her.

What the hell is it?

Arielle hurriedly increased the brightness on her phone screen and shone it in the direction of the sound.

To her horror, it was a cobra angrily hissing away.

The cobra had long set its sight on Arielle as it reared itself up and stared at her with a pair of piercing green eyes.

If she hadn’t gotten up because the noise bothered her, Arielle would have fallen victim to the cobra’s venomous bite.

All of a sudden, the cobra launched itself toward Arielle, aiming for her neck.

Thanks to her training, Arielle had lightning-fast reflexes and dodged the cobra’s attack in the nick of time.

She then swiftly caught the cobra by its tail and flung it hard against the floor, knocking it out almost immediately.

Eager to cut off the head of the cobra, Arielle whipped out the scissors she had initially kept under her pillow as a precautionary measure.

However, before she could deal the finishing blow, Arielle was hit by a sudden realization. The snake was indeed a cobra, but it would never be found here in the North since its species lived in the South.

This cobra couldn’t have accidentally crawled into my room. Someone must have put it here!

Arielle recalled the footsteps she had heard earlier and put two and two together. She finally understood the intention of the person who had stood briefly on her balcony before leaving.
