Description: Cosani gets her revenge, but her feud with the girls is just beginning.
Location: Dolphin Cove Weyr
Date: month 13, day 4 of Turn 4
The barracks were quiet except for a few soft snores. Cosani slid back into bed, her task finished. She closed her eyes, a smile spreading across her face as she drifted off to sleep. In the morning, the screaming would start.
None of the girls even stirred as Cosani had slipped the carcasses of the snakes into their trunks. Not until the dawn was just reaching out over the horizon and the wake up call was made did the girls move at all. At first, they didn't notice anything amiss. They placed their pillows over their heads and moaned for a moment or two before finally moving in an effort to force themselves out of bed. Marai was the first one to notice something was amiss when she went to her trunk and blindly fumbled around for some clothing.
"What's this?" She winced at the feel of something that was cold and not really pleasant to the touch. Marai blinked and tried to get her eyes to focus through the sleep induced haze. Once they cleared, she stared down at the scaley body for a moment before she let out a high pitched scream that echoed through the barracks. It was joined by three others, and for a moment all of them screamed in chorus.
Cosani pulled her pillow over her head to hide her grin. She took a moment to compose herself before she sat up and stared at the nearest screaming girl with false surprise. Everyone was awake now, and asking what was wrong.
Salubri managed to pull herself together before the other girls did once the initial shock had worn off. She grabbed a towel and took up the skin that had been lying among her things. "They aren't alive!" She spat at the other girls, though her anger wasn't directed at them. She knew just who to go to. The girl grabbed the other snakes with the towel then stomped over to where Cosani was hiding her head. Quickly she pulled the girl's shift up and shoved them underneath, then danced back with a something that sounded like a growl. "You wherry!"
Cosani yanked the tunnelsnakes out and threw them at the girl. "_You're_ the wherry! What are you picking on me for?!"
Salubri managed to dodge the carcases, their forms whizzing past her to fall upon the bed next to Cosani's which was, fortunately, unoccupied. "Little miss high and mighty, thinks she's too good for anyone else. Just you wait. This isn't the end of this." Salubri turned upon her heel and stomped off to gather her clothes.
"Try it! Just you try it!" Cosani clenched her fists.
Before the girl left for the washing room, she threw back a glare in Cosani's direction, repeating her earlier threat. "Just you wait." Then she and the other girls disappeared from view.
