Hinata lay down on her cot in her tent, no blanket, for it was too hot in the jungle for that. She only cuddled herself to her pillow and snoozed from a hard day of traveling in the jungle. All were tired in her group and she retired to her tent directly after having eaten her dinner. Not long after everyone else also. retired to their tents. Hinata had her's to herself, so she had no one to bother her. Or so she thought. The jungle was filled with animals. And where there are lots of animals, there are predators. Hinata didn't know it, but a very large predator had selected her to be its next meal, yet no one in the camp knew that the animal was around.
Kaa was nestled up high in his tree perch, his sinuous coils looped around branches and tree trunks. Despite his bulk, he was nearly invisible in the jungle thanks to his color pattern. Out of all of the humans that Kaa had spied around the campfire while they ate, Hinata was the best. She wasn't too large or too thin. Lovely feminine curves complimented her face. Also important, she wouldn't put up much of a fight. And last, she was alone in her tent. No one to interfere with Kaa's plans as he whisked her away for his own dinner. He had learned that meals were best eaten when no one could stop you. Kaa chuckled to himself, thinking about what the humans would do the next morning. They would wonder where their friend Hinata was, finding her tent empty and no sign of her leaving. Kaa would know though. Maybe a mile away, Kaa would be basking in the sun with a thick bulge in his stomach, sleeping off the lovely Hinata dinner. Even she wouldn't know, for she would be in a deep trance when he consumed her. If all went well, he might even have a chance to toy with her before dining. Yes, that was a pleasant thought.
