Hooray for Chapter 3!:3 Hooray to all those who review(you are awesome as always!)! And hooray for my strep throat getting better!(it's contagious, but as long as I don't touch you, breathe on you, or share anything with you, you will be absolutely fine!)
And a side note: If I said something like 'If Jake seems OC...' (which I did) I meant to say OOC. Sorry for the mix-up! Btw I also changed the rating from M to T. I don't think I could write anything with a lemon in it, so that is the way it will stay.
I also like to say thanks for you all liking my story. I was worried it would be crap, but since y'all say otherwise, I feel much better about it now!Thnx!X3
This is the Chapter where Jake meets my other OC, Cassie! Let's see what his first impressions are!
P.S. I forgot to do disclaimer in the first few chapters so here we go!
Disclaimer: Certainly wish I did, but do NOT own Rattlesnake Jake or anything from the movie 'Rango'. Gore Verbinski (did I get that name right?) owns all of it. If I did own it, Jake would have his OWN movie. But sadly all I own are my OCs, my laptop, my stuffed animals, my books, and my soon-to-be-owned Kick Buttowski T-shirt. How I cherish them so... I don't own Kick Buttowski: Suburban Daredevil either (his show appears in this fic). I only am fixing to own a (said) t-shirt with him on it. And I don't currently remember who he belongs to. (I usually don't pay attention to credits...)
(Yells to the cat with the camera)"Alright! Let's get rolling!"
"Meow!"
"Whattya mean were 'out of film'?"
"Meow!"
"You BEST be glad you found it!"
"Hiss!"
"Okay! No need for such language! Geez.. crazy cat. Anyways, here we go! Annnnd, ACTION!"
Chap3- the Angel
After getting taken out of the mysterious machine. Jake and Kit walked into the building, all the while, Jake was looking in awe of everything he saw.
Other humans, reeaallly tall buildings, roads made of stone, other machines like the black one rolling down the road, and signs EVERYWHERE! One such sign said 'Eat at Moe's!' Who the hell was Moe? And why was that sign saying eat at his house? He would never understand these odd creatures...
Noticing his reaction to town, Kit said "I don't really like this town that much myself Mr. Snake. I don't like the one I live in myself, but that's were I can help animals the best. In a big congested town with lot's of people who would mug and kill you as soon as look at you. And most the animals in town are abused. It's a good thing we leave tommorow. (sigh) It's sad really how humans are turning out to be. When I was little..."
Again, she had called him 'mister'. He hated being called 'mister'. And again she was babbling. This woman talked too much for her own health.
As Kit walked into the building, Jake noticed it was different than any building he had ever been in. It had white stone walls, a white floor that was so shiny it looked wet, and a stone figure in the center of the room. What looked to be a huge version of a horse...
"(sigh)...Humans..."
Then they walked up to what seemed to be a door. However, soon after Kit pressed a button on the wall next to it, it opened into a square little room. They walked into the room, and she pressed another button on the wall. Then the doors closed, and the room began to move!
"Holy crap! It's frickin' moving! Get me outta here! Are you listening you fool?"
Kit noticed he was freaking out again."Hey hey...it's just an elevator. It's not going to hurt you. Well, unless it breaks down and the rope snaps and we fall to our certain deaths in a freak accident... But the chances of that are highly unlikey, besides, it beats taking the stairs!"
"Don't talk like that stupid! I'd rather take the stairs! At least then I'd be safer! And why the HELL are you SMILING?"
"Your silly Mr. snake. Don't worry were almost there."
"QUIT CALLING ME 'MISTER' DAMMIT!"
After getting out of the 'vibrating room', Jake was tired out and had a sore throat from yelling and going crazy in that thing.
"Well, it looks like your tired out even before I give you that shot to help you out when I fix you up. You are a silly thing Mr. snake."
Jake was too tired and pissed off to yell at her to stop calling him 'mister'. Wait...did she just say 'shot'?
That got him up real quick! "No way are you shooting me ya wench! Even if I don't have my gun, I'll still kill you before you could touch that trigger!"
"My, your a lively one! Besides, I need to get you a name before we get started."
"Your gonna give me a name before ya kill me? Damn your stupid! Besides I already HAVE a name!"
"Your male I'm assuming, so I guess 'Snuggles' is out of the question..."
"Damn straight it's outta the question! What kind of name is that?"
"Definitely not... Well how about 'Devlin'?"
"NO! MY NAME IS JAKE! NOT 'DEVLIN'!"
"No, eh? How about 'Spitfire' since your so fiesty?"
"NO! THAT SOUNDS STUPID!"
"No again huh? Well I don't know what to call you then..."
Just then a little boy whizzed past with a toy shot-gun in his hand, pretending to shoot anyone in his path.
"BANG! Your dead lady zombie!" He said to Kit. Then he ran off. His mother ran up behind him yelling "JAKE! If you don't quit shooting people, I'll break that damn toy gun of yours that your daddy bought you! Now get back here!"
Her and the little boy then ran off down the stairs. Jake was reminded a little of his childhood. His own mother and him had did something like that when his Pa had bought him his first toy gun. He then shook his head vigorously. 'Not the time for that now!' He thought.
"How about Jake then? It seems to suit you perfectly."
"...Your stupidity astounds me..."
At his technical silence, she said "Jake it is then! I'm glad we got that out of the way!" Another smile.
"You are WAY too damn cheerful! You know that?"
As they walked down a long corridor, Kit then stopped at a door with the number 456 on it.
"Well, temporary home sweet home!"
"Just shoot me already and put me out of my misery..."
She took out ANOTHER key, and put it in the door handle. She then turned it then, and as she opened the door, an orange streak ran out.
"MADAME MARMALADE! COME BACK HERE! SOMEONE MIGHT KIDNAP YOU!"
She quickly ran inside, put him on a counter,put some sort of large blanket on top of him, and ran out the door.
In the darkened glass box, Jake let out a large sigh.
"At least I'm away from that idiot for now. Until she comes back and makes an ATTEMPT to kill me. But if I kill her, then how the hell am I supposed to get out of this crazy place? What to do now?"
He sat there in the cool shade for 10 minutes, pondering what to do, when he heard the door slam.
"Now to figure out things as I go...again."
The large sheet came off and there stood Kit, gasping for breath, holding a small, orange colored bob-cat. Or what at least looked like one.
"Sorry about that Jake. Madadame Marmalade got loose as we came in and since she is pregnant and is missing one eye, I had to go get her for her own safety." She then let the little bob-cat loose on the ground. It had an eyepatch over it's left eye and was staring at Jake with the other.
"What are you starin' at ya odd-lookin' bob-cat?"
"Dinner." it said.
"What?"
"Marm! He is NOT something for you to eat! Now scat you crazy girl!" Kit said, moving her hand with a shooing motion.
She sauntered away, saying "Yeah, whatever. He doesn't look that appetizing anyway."
"Damn bob-cat..." Jake muttered.
"Now let's get you fixed up!" Kit said with another smile. "I know your back has got to be killing you! So let's go get that needle." she said as she walked off.
She was right, his back was killing him. Not that he would ever say it. Instead he said, "Alright! You wanna fight I'll give you one ya wench! Wait...needle?"
Jake finally realized what kind of 'shot' she was giving him.
"Don't you dare! That's worse than a gun!" Even as a child, he had hated needles. They were sharp and painful! That's why he avoided them at all costs.
And as she came back, she held the BIGGEST FRICKIN' NEEDLE he had ever seen!
"Don't even THINK about comin' near me with that damn thing!"
The bob-cat then hopped onto the table, against Kit's wishes. "Big baby." she said before she was picked up and put down on the ground.
"Madame Marmalade! You stay down there or you are getting NO milk with your dinner!"
"What? I just wanted to see him cry like a baby...Oh well. I can watch from down here."
"I AM NOT GOING TO CRY LIKE A BABY!"
"Whatever you say..." she said from the ground.
Jake then heard a soft giggle from somewhere.
'Odd...' he thought. 'I didn't just imagine that did I...?'
Jake then felt a large prick in his lower back. And pain shot up his entire body before paralyzing him.
"Son of a-! ..." He shouted before getting knocked out by the medicine.
As Cassie watched, giggling as she did so, from the 7-foot tank across the room, she heard hollering coming from the other side. Then as mother injected sleep medicine into whatever poor soul, she heard a loud yell, then silence.
Now that it was peace and quiet, she could turn her attention to her mother and her doctoring. She loved it when Kit was fixing up someone's wounds at home. It meant her mother cared about other's health even when she wasn't at her job as a vet. Plus, she would be able to see her mother more often than if she went an took the injured person to the place where she worked, while able to fix it up herself.
Mother was a very kind and considerate human. Different from all the other's Cassie had met.
As Madame Marmalade walked across to the tank, after getting bored of watching, Cassie asked her "Hey Marm! Who is it this time? Another cactus-mouse?"
"No..." she said, jumping up on top of the tank. "I think he's kin of yours."
"What's he like?" she said excited. She had never seen another snake before. Especially a male. Except for the ass-holes in the pet store. Hopefully he was different.
All the male snakes in the pet stores thought she was a girl to have 'fun' with, and then ignore. She deffinitely showed them a thing or two.
Marm then said, "He's loud, arrogant, and stupid. Don't bother yourself with him, he would just be a waste of your time..." She then proceeded to clean herself.
Marm usually over-assessed people when they first came in. But sometimes, even a cat at her age could be wrong. Cassie hoped to God he was different, she was tired of being alone...
Mother then took her rubber-gloves off and picked up the tank she took with her in case of emergencies. She brought it over to Cassie's tank and set it down.
She then picked up Madame Marmalade, set her on the floor again, and said "Marms, you can talk to Cassie later. Right now I want her to get aquanited with Jake before we leave tommorow."
"Whatever..." she said, walking off into the living room.
'Jake?' Cassie thought. 'That's a wonderful name! I hope he is just as handsome as he sounds!'
As Kit pulled the blanket off the tank and put Jake in. Cassie stared. 'So that is what a male from the wild looks like.'
Kit then said, "Cassie, you and Jake will be in the same tank for awhile, so be try nice to him. He's a bit scared from coming out of the desert and into town. I know you'll work your magic as always, and I'm sure you will be fast friends."
'I hope we do get to be friends. I don't know a thing aout him.'
About three hours later, nothing had changed much. Jake was still out cold, and Cassie was still staring at him.
Her mother was in the living room, watching Kick Buttowski: Suburban Daredevil (her favorite show), with Madame Marmalade on her lap. It was 9:34, so the computer screen close to the tank said.
'He is so handsome... I wish he was awake so I could talk to him and see what he's like...' she thought. Then she let out a loud sigh, 'As if that would happen...'
And lo and behold, Jake's eyes were starting to open.
Shocked that her wish would be answered so quickly, she slithered right up to him and looked him in the face, to see if he was really waking up or it was just a trick of the light.
His eyes were opening, and he was looking at her with a dazed expression. Then he said something.
Jake was in a dreamless doze after the shot, then he heard a loud sigh, and he wondered what it was. Was it that human female again?
He slowly opened his eyes to see, and instead of a human, he saw a serpintine angel with ice blue eyes.
He then wondered aloud, "How the hell did I make it to Heaven?"
The angel then began to giggle.
She then said, "This is kinda far from Heaven, Jake. About time you woke up. I have wanting to talk to you!By the way here is your hat." She said, offering it to him with a goofy smile. It made her look even more beautiful somehow. With smooth, snow-white scales and those beautiful eyes, it was too good to be true.
He then noticed he was able to move and was brought back to reality. However, this girl didn't seem to disappear. He also noticed he was gawking and acting like a fool.
As he slowly got up, he scowled, gave her one of his worst glares, and said "Girl, am I still in the captivity of that damn human wench?"
The girl who looked like an angel then frowned and her eyes turned cold, "Yes you are. And DON'T call my mother a 'damn wench'!" she said, throwing his hat at him.
'Well damn...' he thought, 'I thought she was an angel, but she turned out to be a witch!'
Well, that was chapter three! I would have wrote more, but I think I'll save it for the next chapter. So let's wait for the next chap and we'll see what happens!
I was actually thinking of making this a one-shot, but then I thought it would be WAY too long to be just a simple one-shot. So here it is as it is today.
And again thank you to all who reviewed, and for those of you about to review!
P.S. If there is something you think I did wrong while writing the story, please tell me so I can see if I can fix it. K? Thanks!
