I TOOK A NIGHT WOMAN HOME AND SHE TURNED INTO A SNAKE

I Took a Night Woman Home, and She Turned into a Snake in the Middle of the Night



It was just a regular Friday night when I met her. The bar was crowded, the music was too loud, and the dim lighting made everything feel like a haze. I’d had a long week at work, and I just wanted to unwind, grab a drink, and relax. But then she walked in.


She wasn’t the type of woman I usually noticed—too quiet, too reserved—but there was something about her. Her eyes were deep, almost hypnotic, and her long black hair framed her face in a way that made it impossible to look away. She wasn’t dressed like the other women in the bar, either. Her dress was simple but elegant, and her presence seemed to command attention without even trying.


She didn’t sit at the bar, didn’t order a drink. Instead, she just stood there, as if she was waiting for someone—or something. I tried not to stare, but I couldn’t help myself. There was an energy around her, a strange pull that kept me interested. I’d never met anyone like her before.


Finally, after what felt like an eternity, she caught my gaze. Her lips curled into a small smile, and for a moment, I thought I saw something flicker in her eyes—something not entirely human. But the moment passed, and I quickly shook off the thought. Maybe it was just the alcohol.


She walked toward me then, her steps quiet, graceful, like she was moving through the air. She sat next to me, her presence filling the space around us. The music seemed to fade into the background as she spoke.


“You look like someone who needs company,” she said, her voice soft but confident. “I’m Lily.”


Her name was as smooth as the rest of her—delicate, almost too perfect. I introduced myself, and we started talking, but it was unlike any conversation I’d ever had. She wasn’t interested in the usual small talk. No, Lily wanted to know about me. Really know about me. She asked questions no one ever asked, questions that made me feel both exposed and strangely understood. And I answered her. I told her things I never told anyone.


As the night wore on, I found myself captivated. I had no idea where the time had gone, but I didn’t care. All that mattered was her, the way she looked at me, the way she listened as though every word I said was the most important thing in the world.


Eventually, I couldn’t ignore the growing pull between us. I invited her back to my place. I wasn’t expecting anything; I just wanted to continue the conversation in a quieter place, away from the noise of the bar. She agreed without hesitation, and we left together.


When we got to my apartment, I made her a drink, and we talked some more. But the night felt different now—tense, charged with something I couldn’t quite explain. Every moment seemed heavy, like something was about to happen, something important.


She drank her glass of wine slowly, her eyes never leaving mine. The way she looked at me was unsettling, but at the same time, I couldn’t look away. I wanted to know what she was thinking, what she was feeling. But there was something about her that seemed distant, unreachable.


I was starting to feel uncomfortable, like I was in over my head. I needed to break the tension, so I stood up and went to turn off the lights. The room was dim now, and the shadows seemed to creep into every corner. When I turned back around, she was standing there, too. Only now, something was different.


Her posture had changed—her shoulders were more rigid, her body more tense. She was no longer smiling, and her eyes... her eyes were glowing, just faintly, like the reflection of moonlight on water. I took a step back, feeling the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.


“Are you okay?” I asked, trying to shake off the sense of unease that had settled over me.


She didn’t answer. Instead, she stepped closer, her movements slow, almost deliberate. And then, without warning, she reached out to touch me.


The moment her hand brushed my skin, I felt it—a coldness that sent a shiver through me. I wanted to pull away, but my body wouldn’t listen. It was like I was frozen in place, trapped in her gaze. Her fingers slid down my arm, and I could feel something... not human... beneath her skin, a strange, unnatural warmth.


“Lily, what’s happening?” I asked, my voice shaking. I didn’t know what to think, didn’t know what was going on. Everything felt wrong, but I couldn’t make myself move.


She finally spoke, her voice now a low, almost hypnotic whisper. “You’ve been drawn to me, haven’t you? You feel it, don’t you? The connection.”


I didn’t understand what she meant. But before I could say anything else, she took another step toward me, and that’s when it happened.


Her skin seemed to ripple, her form shifting before my eyes. I staggered back, my heart pounding in my chest. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing—her body seemed to grow and change, her features warping into something completely foreign. The air in the room grew thick and heavy, suffocating, as if the very atmosphere had changed.


And then, in the blink of an eye, she was no longer standing in front of me. Instead, a massive snake lay coiled on the floor, its eyes now glowing with an eerie light. The transformation had been so fast, so surreal, that for a moment, I thought I was dreaming.


I could barely breathe, could barely think. The snake’s body was long, its scales shimmering with a strange iridescence. Its head was large, with sharp, flickering eyes that stared into mine, as if it were studying me, waiting.


“No...” I gasped, stumbling backward. “No, this isn’t real. This can’t be real.”


The snake hissed, a sound that filled the room with a chilling vibration. It seemed to smile, its tongue flicking in and out as it slithered closer. And then, in a voice that was both her voice and something else—something ancient and powerful—she spoke again.


“Do you understand now? I am not who you thought I was. I am a creature of the night, of the shadows. And you, foolish human, have invited me into your life. Now you must pay the price.”


I felt my knees go weak, my mind racing with fear and disbelief. This wasn’t just a dream. This was happening. The woman I had taken home was not human at all. She was a snake, a creature of dark magic, and I had brought her into my apartment, into my life.


“Please,” I whispered, my voice barely audible. “I didn’t know. I didn’t mean any harm.”


But the snake only hissed again, its eyes glowing brighter, the air growing colder with each passing second.


“There is no turning back now,” she said, her voice cold and distant. “You have seen what I am. And now, you will live with the consequences.”


The last thing I remembered before everything went black was the slithering sound of the snake moving toward me. The world around me seemed to disappear, and I realized, in that final moment of clarity, that I had made a terrible mistake. I had invited something into my life that I could never escape.
