The snake raised its head. Poised and elegant.
It's eyes gleamed at the very thought of its kill. The black forked tongue darted out, as if to taste its prey.
He could feel its stare penetrate his very being. He knew its scales which glimmered with pride were a symbol of death itself.
The snake drew closer and closer, he was sure that it could hear his beating heart.
And then-
It striked, just as he raised his arms to defend himself.
Its fangs sank into his flesh and clung to him, never retracting.
The poison flowed through his blood stream, reaching his heart. He could feel his heart pumping the tainted blood.
The last thing he saw... before he blacked out?
Her silhouette standing perfectly still, as she retracted the snake back to her... almost caressing it, as she watched the life drain out of the man she once loved.
