Shanti was scared.
 
She had wandered off into the jungle to find a lost boy by the name of Mowgli, going off of impulse due to her fear of him being kidnapped or worse. Bringing only a torch with her as her guide, the barefooted girl had followed the trail as best as she could; that was, until night's ambiance made it all the more harder for her to know any way she went. She had managed to stumble through protruding branches, spider webs, and get startled by a number of avian creatures that were disturbed by her screams and blind rushing.
 
Waving her torch around, she felt like it was the only beacon in the abysmally dim jungle. So when she heard a long, almost purring hiss grace over the now surprisingly quiet air, she felt her whole body jump with fright. Holding the torch with both hands, her skin crawled with goosebumps as she shivered with apprehension. Turning her head left and right, she returned to a single hand holding the torch as it crackled near her. In a way, she was hoping that it was just Mowgli, playing a mean prank as she found him.
 
"W-Who is it?" She quivered out loud, turning her body and source of light around as she timidly looked into the blackness beyond the flora surrounding her. "Who's there?"
 
What came next simply terrified her. A guttural chuckle that sounded a bit too much like a person was amplified to her left. Turning her face to look, her torch allowed her to see the visage of a large snake approaching her. Gasping, her mouth pulled back in an expression mingling disgust and fear, raising an arm ineptly to protect her from the approaching serpent while clinging to her torch for dear life.
 
"Exxxxcuuuuuse me," The slimy reptile called out in a strangely calming voice. Not only that, but her eyes seemed to pierce the darkness that veiled the jungle night itself; a pair of shimmering rings that continued to oscillate outwards like blooming petals of dazzling lights that the young girl had never seen before. Not even the torch burning of gold, orange and red tongues seemed to register as her eyes soaked in every single ring that seemed to reach out and enter her gaze, tickling her face and swimming through her whole mind.
 
Her arm was already starting to drop and her mouth gaping, her once beautiful hazel irises now erased as white, green, blue, teal, turquoise and yellow stretched out from the pupil to the outermost sclera. Face feeling numb with the ticklish pricks the rings made, her mind was slowed and lethargic, only following the words with a single minded focus as much as the sight of the tantalizing colors reaching out and coiling her insides like jelly.
 
"Might I be, of sssssome asssssisssstance?" She inquired in her purposefully slow and slurring tongue as she hissed with every syllable she could manage. The audible effect had a calming effect while the eyes reached out and seemed to penetrate her mind, flowing like a gentle blanket of invisible tickling coils. A small smile began to raise up her face at the thought of the benevolent creature helping her, the aid of her torch seemingly more null with every passing second. When her pearly teeth were displayed in an open smile as her eyes continued to flash a continuous inversion of rings that her benefactor was projecting, her hand let go of the torch, not even hearing the thud and hissing sound of the last remaining light go out.
 
There was only her, and the beautiful serpent.
 
"Arrrre you losssst little one?" The snake inquired, her smile now replaced with a concerned pull of her lips, causing her open-mouthed grin to turn into a dumb open expression of awe. As her eyes followed hers like invisible strings moving her neck and head accordingly, her tail swept her bangs and over her scalp in a euphoric brush of cool scales that made her body shiver with inner delight. Her stomach bristled with dozens of butterflies as the snake chuckled and forced her to nod with her. She was helpless but she wouldn't know that with the bliss her pleasing buzz her skull down her arms, wrapped around her bosom to her waist, creeping down her thighs and down to her flexing toes. It all sang with a slight numbness but prickled with a ticklish wave of continuous pleasure, seemingly controlling her whole being by the cascade of colors and the subduing voice of her unknown captor.
 
"Are you, huuuuuuuuuungry?" She pulled back a brief look of surprise before turning around in a circle, her eyes anchored to hers as she spun around in a graceful spin. With a large section of her coil pulled around in a scaly hug around hers, the girl cub's dumb grin returned as her face slid against her cheek, both of their orbs looking side by side at each other. The sheer euphoria of being so close to the eyes, feeling the secure wrapping of the snake's coils, and hearing her sultry hiss next to her ear caused her to exhale out of her nostrils a delighted sigh. Her whole being was doused with a wave of pleasure that made her swoon at the simple yet deceitful inquiry. The only thing she was truly hungry for was more of her words, her touch and her majestic eyes so she could drown and be conformed within its colors.
 
"I am sssstaaaaarved," The reptile hissed out in perfect pronunciation, pulling away to raise up above her head in a twisting manner. As her eyes raised up, her permanent smile a sign that she was unable to do anything but follow the colorful eyes, the beneficial hiss and the slight sign of her tail flicking at her in a beckoning manner. Finally seeing her hang above a certain point, Shanti's body was maneuvered in a way that her right foot sought the purchase of a large rock just prior to the other joining it. She could hear her laugh aloud between smacking its leathery lips together with rapt anticipation, but her open mouthed smile and color-ringed stare told her all she needed to. Ready to accept whatever fate it may be, her arms were limply hanging at her sides just as her skin crawled with buzzing pleasure at the song that was the snake's hisses.
 
One yawn opening of a mouth later, and Shanti lost sight of the eyes but was still staring upwards. But instead of beautiful colors it was a dark hollow pit, filled with scarlet colored tissue. Still enraptured by the bliss of her tormentor's hypnosis, she couldn't look away nor did she want to as she smiled garishly when the maw dropped down towards her. The feeling of slick muscle and leathery lips crossed over her scalp down to her neck, dousing her with a fresh wave of saliva that soaked her beige blouse and dripped down her arms to her violet hued skirt. Within the tight contractions of the jaw, she felt it push tightly against her cheeks and temples as much as it did her chin and crown. But even this pressure was perceived as pleasant as the aroma swimming into her nostrils. A sultry moan escaped her mouth as her face was continuously drenched in the serpent's saliva.
 
Pushing down with a overlapping squeeze past her shoulders towards her elbows, she felt her chest and back receive a peristaltic constriction of the creature's jaw. It was the same for her craning head and neck, now being smothered by throat muscles that used the slimy tissue to pull and tug at her as the mouth worked its way down. Her blouse practically tore apart at the force of her sucking, pooling out of the serpent's mouth just as she used her tail to rip off her skirt, leaving the girl's taste untarnished by the working mouth that now moved past her waist and onto her thighs. At this point the snake raised her mouth up, allowing gravity to aid her revealing the sight of a slight feminine bulge rock and squirm through the neck of her skin while Shanti's toes flexed and her feet wiggled.
 
"Mmmmmmmmmm," The snake moaned harmoniously as one with her prey, who was all but completely within the squeezing innards of the reptile. With only a pair of wiggling feet protruding from her mouth it was a simple matter of a gulp and a closing of her mouth to send it down with the rest of her capture. Sighing aloud in a musical tone, she took time to smack her lips and rub her tongue on the inside of her mouth, savoring the taste as the girl moaned in her trek further up to the tree tops where her stomach presided and the bulk of her coils. Such a journey consisted of tight squeezing massages of silky smooth skin rubbing against her own, her eyes continuously shimmering with glee and her smile filled with delight. Her hypnotized state was never woken from the spell of consumption she had been placed under. It only strengthened that suspended state her mind was in as she was pulled, tugged, gripped and rubbed in all the right places as her insides were still tickling her from the crown to the soles of her feet and the tips of her fingers.
 
A protruding sucker grasped over her head, earning another groan of wanton lust from the meal as her body wiggled through the skin, revealing her small lithe sight of desirable flesh hidden behind layers of scales. Her scalp was washed over by the opening to its stomach, pulling her neck in followed by her shoulders, her breathing becoming shallower as the air flowing through was cycling around her. By the time her wiggling rump was forced into the bag of caressing flesh that continued to fondle and drench her in liquid essence she finally stopped her peristaltic movement. Tingling sensations ran around her body as the stomach's enzymes began to work across her body but would never register as pain to the hypnotized youth. Suspended like a hammock, she was swung around as the mighty snake observed her with glee as she continued to squirm and groan with pleasure of her situation.
 
"Jussssst ressssst, man cub," She whispered with her silvery voice, earning a wider grin as her eyes slowly closed and her mind was urged to slumber within the soft embrace of her stomach. "Ssssssleeeeep awaaaaaay insiiiiiide meeeeeee. Mhmhmhmhmhmhm!~"
