2nd note to readers: This is based on a true story and a real-life account of what happened after watching Singapore Idol, when my sister asked me to get water for her from the kitchen.

An innocent attempt at a sip of water led to a deadly and terrorizing fate.
(Well, not really -deadly-... Just scary.)

Lifting the pink, plastic cup with one small hand, she noted that it seemed slightly heavier as compared to when it was empty in the past. How odd, she thought. It was empty. The suspicious increase in weight did not sway her, however, and she placed the cup on the kitchen counter as she turned to get another for her sister.

It was late at night, and she felt a tingle of fear standing alone in the kitchen, where the mirror in the dark toilet faced her just as always, reflecting her quietly. Too quietly, she breathed in her mind, jerking her gaze quickly away from the mirror and moving back the cup.

Picking up her cup and placing the blue one of the same design on the counter, she made her way to the water dispenser* to fill the cup, raising it to eye level as she looked into it.

It all happened in a second - She felt the quick padding of feet against the cup, but she didn't see anything until a quarter of a second later, when a scaly figure jumped out at her, spread-eagled** in mid-air.

You could tell the lizard was a baby. Stretching at a length of two inches, its skin all black, with a tail not more than half an inch long, and feet.. webbed or not, she could not tell. A bell was ringing in her head... she screamed, an ear-splitting scream that sounded throughout the house and into the uncaring night.

She was warned. By the same person who didn't want to do it, thus sending her instead on the mission. But she believed she would have been safe. After all, she had only seen one throughout the whole year, and that didn't attack her or scare her in any way.

*water dispenser: Not really sure what its called, but I think I got it right.
**spread-eagled: Hope its allowed in that context.*blink*
