In Vanessa's Coils (short story for artwork by Shaodevitt)
The very short story I wrote based on this piece of art I had commissioned from Shaodevitt. https://sofurry.com/s/mvwBoakn I had wanted to fit it in the description for the artwork, but it was sadly too long!
As I walked through the woods, I noticed the various birds and critters had suddenly fallen silent. I paused to listen curiously. I heard the sound of a branch creaking above me, then a low hissing. The fur on my back stood up in fear, and I looked up to see a purple and lavender colored blur falling towards me. I wasn’t quick enough to get out of the way, and I grunted as what felt like a ton of scaley bricks crashed onto me and pinned me to the ground. I panted with fear as I struggled to free myself, but was helpless as I was quickly spun around as loop after thick loop of heavy scaly coil wound tightly around my body, pinning my arms to my sides. The coils effortlessly maneuvered me so that I was sitting up right. The slender end of the massive snake's tail slowly curled around my neck, and the tip began slowly caressing my cheek. The purple and lavender snake’s massive head hovered right in front of my face as their ice blue eyes looked me over. “My my, what do we have here? A cute little puppy lost in the woods?” a deep feminine voice asked me. The coils around me gave a firm squeeze before loosening again. Her coils seemed to move ceaselessly around me, the sound of them rubbing together sounded like whispering. “P-Please! I apologize if I intruded on your territory, I didn’t mean” I started to fearfully apologize, but was cut off as the coils around me squeezed me tightly again, forcing the air to wheeze out of my lungs. I gasped desperately for air, but her coil's crushing grip on me made it impossible. Just as my vision began to grow dark and I began to slowly slump over, the coils gradually loosened again, allowing me to gasp greedily for air. ”It’s ok puppy! Vanessa’s found you!” she said soothingly to me, her coils briefly tightening before loosening again. “W-what are you going to do with me?” I asked fearfully, then involuntarily whined as she slowly moved her huge head closer. Her hot breath washed over my face, and her long purple tongue extended to lick firmly against my throat, leaving a trail of matted fur with her saliva. “Mmm, such a tasty little puppy!” Vanessa said flirtily, as she licked her lips. “I think I’ll keep you!” “No, please!” I started to beg, but her coils tightened viciously, forcing the breath from my lungs again. “Shhhh dear, let nature take its course!” Vanessa cooed. As my vision began to darken again, the last thing I saw was her jaws yawning open widely as her head descended towards me.
