I was only two when I first saw it, and just out of the corner of my eye. I thought it was smoke. Being a child, I didn't run away, but towards. What was this creature? Slick and slithering, as tiny as me. I chased the creature, always just out of my reach, until our eyes met. It moved inward, smoke pouring from its body, before I let out a wail. Footsteps pounded nearer and it dissipated.
It wouldn't be another ten years until I saw it again. My mind was wandering; sitting near the pond of the boarding school. I hated it there; I haven't a single fond memory. My eyes were glazed over, lost in nonsense thought; things about the future, a future in which I was independent and free. Something splashed in the water and snapped me from my thoughts.
I looked over, and there it was. Face just above the surface; like an alligator waiting for its prey. Ready to eat me alive. Its eyes were wide, pure black; like little pools of water with red pin-pricks in the middle. The red spots followed my arms as I uncrossed them slowly. It was bigger now; no longer a small creature. Just beneath the surface I swore I could see long teeth; daggers made of onyx and ivory ready to tear me limb from limb. Smoke bubbled from under the surface, diffusing into the air; black and sulphuric.
The laughter of a classmate made me jerk my head in their direction. A saviour! I looked back and the beast was gone. I sighed in relief.
It wasn't until a week afterwards I ran into it again. A stronger classmate had beaten me black and blue and thrown me into the water for good measure. Foreigners weren't welcome here, he said. I didn't know how to communicate that if I had any choice in my life, it would be to return home. I didn't want to be amongst these people who spoke a language I didn't, whose skin was white as fresh fallen snow; who viewed me as wrong.
The water was cold; it was winter and the first snow had been days prior. It froze me in place. I panicked, releasing my breath as a scream; muffled by the icy cold water. Unable to swim, I did little more than sink, mouth full of water and trying to keep it from filling me. I could feel it coiling around me, like a great snake ready to consume me whole. I knew what it was, I didn't need to open my eyes. If this was how I was to die, never knowing India's soil under my feet again-- so be it. I blacked out.
It was three days before I woke back up. I don't know how I ended up in the infirmary. My grasp on English still wasn't very well, so the nurse's questions didn't help. Years later I'd found out that they apparently found me in a nearby hospital; eyes black and speaking in Latin. It wasn't until I was brought back to the school that I went back to sleep and awoke myself once more.
The creature appeared to me in dreams; showing me a place in my homeland. A wonderful palace fallen to ruin. It beckoned me to meet it. I woke from every dream breathing heavily, sweating, afraid. The smell of sulphur always lingered. As years went on the dreams left me; I studied hard and returned home. I was contracted by a man exploring India's ruined palaces.
When I entered, I already knew what was waiting. I could feel the air catch in my lungs. He was there; white as fresh snow; eyes black with small red pupils. His mouth opened, black smoke seeping through his mismatched teeth. His long neck slowly extended down to meet me, and his petit nose pushed into my chest.
We were one at last.
