The Albino Snake

It was a friday afternoon in mid april.

Lizzie watched as millions of snowflakes flew by her window, her mother had called lizzies school to tell them she would not be attending today because of the bad weather.

The snowstorm was no surprise. thanks to global warming, snow in april was common.

 

Lizzie sighed and crossed her bedroom to her computer, she quickly typed in the words Animal Jam and proceeded to click the link that would take her to animal jams homescreen. But something was off. Instead of the springtime homescreen it had switched back to the winter one. Lizzie was a bit confused but thought nothing of it as she typed in her username and password.

She excitedly hit the log in button hoping that the animal jam homescreen was hinting at a new update.

 

As she waited to log in, she noticed that the loading screens kept switching from winter to spring and back, it happened at random quick moments and seemed quite glitchy. Lizzies screen flashed black then red for a split second then she was in jamaa with her arctic wolf named DJ Sillypaws.

 

Lizzie waited and waited for the daily spin to pop up but it never did, she got scared and thought someone had hacked her so she went to check how many gems and diamonds she had. And what she saw almost made her yell with joy.

 

Lizzie had 100000, gems and 666666, diamonds. She thought of buying a new animal but stopped for a second to look around jamaa. It had changed. It was no longer a grassy happy place it once was, it was empty. No other jammers around. Thick snow covered almost everything giving it an old abandoned look to it. For a few moments Lizzie felt scared, then remembered her diamonds and clicked her mouse to take her to the diamond shop, the only place with its door caved in.

 

There was no waiting involved, no loading screen, Lizzie’s arctic wolf was instantly teleported inside of the diamond shop. But what she saw inside made her heart skip a beat.

The tiles on the floor were ripped up and some smashed, others were caked with dirt and mud. The bushes growing diamonds had their trunks snapped and were toppled over, smashed diamonds all around it. The table where you could transfer diamonds into gems was overturned, gems scattered everywhere. The mannequin where you could buy armor had nothing on it, and its decapitated head had rolled a bit to the left. The other tables were also overturned and empty. The record player was nowhere to be seen. The only untouched thing in the diamond shop was the arctic wolf statue.

 

Lizzie hesitated to click it at first then slowly moved her mouse to hover over it. It brought her into the animal shop anyways. There was only one animal in the shop, a snake. It costed exactly 666666 diamonds. Without even buying the animal, lizzie was turned into it. She wanted to change back into her arctic wolf but the option to switch animals had become grey. She realised that her snake had no name, but shrugged it off as she clicked the map button. The only land she could enter was Mt shiveer, the others were a dull grey and when she tried clicking them, a message popped up saying “oops! Looks like an error occurred! Please try again later!”

 

Lizzie clicked Mt Shiveer and was instantly teleported in front of another jammer. It was a snake with no eyes and no username. Its username was just blank. The snake was all white. Similar to lizzies snake. “Welcome to the void. I am Lilith” the snake spoke. “Uh hi? How did i get here? What happened to animal jam? Where is everyone else? Why is this happening?” lizzie typed back. “I will only answer one of those questions.” Lilith replied. “How did you get here? I brought you here.” Lilith said. “What do you want with me?” Lizzie asked. “Well like any normal animal, i need to eat sometime. And you look like a perfect snack. But i am no cannibal and i do not eat fellow snakes.” laughed Lilith. Suddenly Lizzies snake swiched back to her arctic wolf DJ Sillypaws. “You have one minute to run before i come get you!” Lilith cackled.

A timer similar to the one in the adventure for birds, the forgotten desert, appeared at the top of her screen, showing her minute quickly ticking away. Lizzie tried to get her arctic wolf to run but the snow slowed it down. She started to panic when there was ten seconds left. Lizzie froze in terror when Lilith yelled, “TIMES UP!” and start to slither quickly to her. She watched helplessly as her wolf was frozen in place as Liliths mouth opened up wider then normal to fit her wolf inside. DJ Sillypaws let out a screech of pain as it was devoured slowly. Lizzie started to shake and cry in fear as her screen went black and the message “you were gone for too long and got logged out. Click ok to play again.” popped up.

 

Lizzy refreshed her screen and the homescreen was back to spring. She tried to type in her username and password but it said there was no matching account with that username.

DJ Sillypaws was killed right in front of her and her account was deleted. Tears continued to fall down her face. She never felt so…    alone.
