Slither and Slide

She had been formulating a game plan in her head when Mortis showed up. The boy wasted no time in leaping forward to bite the tail of the snake. He effectively caught the reptiles attention, for it hissed and turned towards him, neck curled in an S shape. It prepared to lunge for the boy. Ice flared in her stomach and she acted quickly. Just as he had, teeth bit into the flesh of the snake, tearing out a large chunk. Blood flowed into her maw, but she couldn't appreciate it. Releasing, she had to move backwards as the giant, slithering beast turned its attention back to her. It struck, biting into the scarred side of her face. It hurt. Constrictors had many little razorlike teeth that pointed backwards. Thankfully those teeth just ripped through scar tissue and the snake didn't get a firm hold. Blood welled, but pain was nothing. As long as she kept Mort out of the creatures coils, pain would be nothing.
