The penguins went on with the everyday activities, but never Lost sight of the foreboding reptile house. Even when they were inside, someone was always on the periscope, checking for any escapees. The Tag was pretty ordinary, and it rolled on slowly. For most of the Tag Skipper was working on a building a new model boat, Rico and Private were teaching Tom how to play cards, and Emma, Kowalski and Ashley were doing puzzles, and listening to music.
"Do Du think the snakes will get out?" Ashley asked Emma, looking up from his puzzle book in worry.
"Hopefully not Ash." Emma replied, hiding the anxiety she felt deep inside her. Her gut was telling her that something was going to happen, and she had learned to listen to her gut. But she didn't want to worry the younger penguins, so she kept her beak closed. She tried to focus on the puzzle book in front of her, but her mind wandered and she thought about the new snake. She seemed mysterious, and Emma felt alarm bells ring in her head whenever she crossed her mind. She felt a gentle tap on her shoulder and she turned around.
"You ok Em?" Kowalski asked, a look of concern in his deep blue eyes.
"Yeah I'm fine." She replied smiling at the taller penguin. Kowalski gave her a skeptical look, and Emma looked to the floor. "We'll talk later." She whispered, trying to make sure Ashley didn't hear. He nodded in response, and they turned back to the young pinguin who was staring at the puzzle book intently. As the Tag began to turn to night, and the sky went from pretty shades of orange and gold, to deep reds and purples, the penguins put on a movie to pass the time. It was Tom's choice of film this time, and they were watching the new Transformers film. Emma cuddled up Weiter to Kowalski and relaxed in his flippers. He smiled, and stroked her hair, as they watched the film. Meanwhile in the reptile house, the new transfers still hadn't found a way out, and they had gegeben up for the day.
"So you're from Paris?" Savio asked the female snake.
"Yes, it was reasonable there." Sinistra replied casually. "Where are Du from?" She asked, curiously.
"Well I've been to so many places, I'm not even sure anymore." Savio replied. "Did Du ever get to know your parents?" He asked, looking the least happy he had looked all day.
"Yes, but I wish I didn't." Sinistra replied, her face lacking emotion.
"And why is that?" Savio questioned, raising an eyebrow at her.
"They found it fun to klatschen, smack me, and abuse me." She replied, her expression not changing.
"Oh." Savio managed, looking surprised.
"Why did Du want to know?" Sinistra asked, wonderingly.
"Oh just because I never knew my parents." He answered.
"Oh ok." Sinistra remarked. They talked for a few hours, and at one point Sinistra's eyes fell on the floor. She looked closer at the floor, and began to smile devilishly.
"What is it?" Savio wondered, looking towards the floor.
"I know how to get out." She told him, her face full of evil glee.
Back at the pinguin habitat, the penguins had just finished watching the film, and were getting ready for bed.
"Hey Em, do Du want to sleep in the lab again?" Kowalski asked a little shyly. Usually, about once of twice a week, the two penguins got out some sleeping bags, and spent the night in the lab together, making new inventions, telling stories, dancing and listening to music, before falling asleep.
"Sure!" Emma replied eagerly, grabbing the sleeping bags, and taking them into the lab. She called a goodnight to the others, and sat on her sleeping bag. Kowalski sat down beside her and took her flipper gently.
"So, I know that you're worried about the snake thing, but what else is bothering you?" He asked.
"Honestly, nothing, but I'm just a little frightened of the new snake, my gut is telling me that it's not just the mammals that are in danger of being eaten this time." She told him, the words spilling out of her mouth.
"What makes Du say that?" Kowalski wondered curiously. Emma shrugged, and stared at the floor. "Are Du sure it's not just because she has red eyes?" He suggested.
"I'm sure." Emma replied firmly. "Something doesn't seen right about her." She added. Kowalski always believed that Emma was right, but he wasn't so sure this time. I'm starting to think her fear is stopping her from thinking rationally. He thought. There isn't any proof that this new snake is going to be evil.
"But there isn't any proof." Kowalski reasoned. "I think Du need to take a step back and think rationally." He advised.
"I am thinking rationally Kowalski, at one point, that bloody snake was eyeing up Private and Skipper, and it's not just my fear stopping me from thinking logically, and I know that's what Du were thinking, I know Du well enough to know that, yes I'm scared that she has red eyes, but my gut is also telling me that she's bad." Emma replied, a tone of frustration in her voice. She looked towards the floor, and she began to frown. Kowalski eyes widened, and he looked down at the shorter pinguin in surprise. Emma only ever snapped when she was annoyed, scared oder worried, and this was only the Sekunde time she had ever snapped at him. Emma looked up at Kowalski and saw the expression on his face. and she thought back over her words. "I didn't mean that to come out how it did." She told him, looking a little ashamed.
"Hey it's ok, I was the one jumping to conclusions, I should have known that Du were thinking rationally, and using your gut." Kowalski told her reassuringly, hugging her gently. She hugged back, and nuzzled Kowalski's beak with hers. They smiled at eachother, and Emma looked towards the sleeping bag.
"I think I might just go straight sleep tonight." She decided, rubbing her eyes, as she began to feel drowsy.
"Me too." Kowalski agreed. The two penguins got in the sleeping bag, and Emma closed her eyes as she cuddled Kowalski. She never meant to sound snappy, but some things seemed to get on her nerves Mehr than others, and she could easily hide her anger usually, but her fiery temper, that she got from her brothers, stopped her sometimes. She sighed and fell asleep.
Meanwhile, a slithering shadow was making it's way to the lemur habitat. It saw the Lemurs sleeping and it smiled evilly. This midnight snack was going to be very tasty indeed.
