Quest for the Queen Page 5

“There are two of them!” said Eric, backing up. “Oh, man, we are cooked!”

  The first head moved out from behind the rock and the second one moved with it. That’s when they saw that both heads were on the same neck!

  “That’s definitely not Snorky,” said Neal.

  The beast growled, opening both sets of jaws. Four rows of huge fangs dripped a thick, yellow liquid.

  Julie stepped back. “That is so — ewww!”

  “Don’t make it mad,” Eric whispered.

  GRR-RRR! The twin heads roared again.

  “Too late for that,” mumbled Neal.

  The creature stomped toward them, then stood for a moment, roaring and growling.

  Then it leaped at them.
