i spent the next few days alone in the hole. as all the bats passed by i would count them and imagine the bright colors of the rainforest but each time i did the snake seemed to burst in and ruin everything making me afraid to go back outside. every time i counted i noticed something strange. including me there were two bats missing. eventually i got so curious that as soon as the bats left i began to venture closer and deeper into the cave until i found the room she lived in. i knocked on the door and soon she answered and said a rush of hurried hellos and come ins. i walked in and asked her why she had stopped going outside with the rest. and eventually she answered. uh um.... she muttered. i um i uh.... she took a deep breath and said i don't like drinking blood and i hate the dark.
