Never Come Between Us

The intent had been to lead the snake away from the tree, then cut back around, collect Tira, and go home. Most of the time, plans didn't turn out how you wanted them to. Today was ono different. In true Fatalis fashion, the girl rushed in blindly. She sank her tiny teeth into the tail of the reptile but wouldn't yet have the jaw strength to do anything but pinch. Reflexively, the snake contracted, pulling away from where Asla had been holding its attention. A moment later, her world stopped. One giant coil looped round Satira and began to squeeze her tight. Asla could see by the expression on the girl's face that she was going to die. That was, if her mother failed in doing her job. Cold fury took hold of the striped woman and she surged into action. Cat claws extended, she used their grip to help launch herself towards the snake. Hind legs pushed off of the ground and she was airborne. Time slowed as forelegs extended, jaws opened. There was no time for thought, but they managed to happen anyway. She had to succeed. There was no room for failure. If Asla couldn't protect her child from danger so close to home, how could she expect to protect them from danger out in the wilds on her own? If Satira died, falling victim to this predator so much larger than both of them, Aslatiel would die as well. NO. There was no time for this. No time for the 'what-ifs'. She had a snake to kill. Jaws, already wide, bit into the wide scales below the snakes head. It had struck again, coming to meet her, but Aslatiel had met it first with claws that dug in between the green, black and russet scales. Those claws and the outstretched limbs that they were attached to had kept the snapping jaws of the snake just a hairsbreadth away from Aslatiel's face. It had been a hard gamble, but it had paid off. With her teeth sinking into the reptile's throat, Aslatiel used hind and front claws to dig repeatedly into the neck and belly of the snake, seeking to do as much damage as she possibly could. Aslatiel was rewarded with blood. The pain of the early stages of evisceration shook the snake's confidence. In its new panic, it released the girl and tried slither away, but Asla refused to let go. This fuck had threatened her child, there was no other option than for it to pay with its life. "Speech" |
