Cold. Suddenly you feel so cold, but it is a refreshing coolness you drift in. It was strange for the first few seconds but now you…you…can't breathe!
You hastily open your mouth, but all it results in is a gurgling sound from you. Instinctively you rear up and feel how you break through something…a water surface.
You suddenly can breathe again and soak in the tasty oxygen with deep and long breaths. When you've finally calmed down you realize that you are cowering in a shallow pond, your hair [If you have any that is] and your clothes [You know, the sparse attire you got to choose last time] completely wet and dripping. But how did you get here? You look confused around and…remember that you are in the jungle. It wasn't a dream!
" Finally awakened hm?", you hear a voice above you and when you look up you see Kaa coiled around a thick branch with the rest of his large body hidden in the treetops.
" It wasn't…", you mumble puzzled, but are interrupted by the serpent.
" No…I'm afraid thisss isssn't a dream.", he says and then chuckles his famous laugh, obviously amused.
Then you remember everything before you were…hypnotized. The expression on your face must have been easy to interpret, because Kaa continues talking.
" You are wondering why I haven't eaten you when I had the chanccce, aren't you?"
You simply nod.
" Well, I can't eat one of my adoring fansss, now can I?"
He chuckles again, visibly enjoying your confusion.
" You sssee, we sssnakesss have a very good memory and when you sssaw me you called my name, yet I can't remember ever trying to eat you before."
His head starts to lower towards you.
" Ssso…when I wasss about to ssswallow you I wondered how you could know me."
He arrived at eyelevel, but you are so confused about the whole situation that you simply remain where you are.
" And when I couldn't come up with any exxxplanation I sssimply asssked you."
" Me? You mean when I was…"
" Under my control, yesss."
Again that chuckle.
" And you had quite the ssstory to tell."
You try to remember, but simply can't.
" Don't ssstrain yourssself, you won't remember."
Then all of a sudden his tail lowers from the thicket of the tree down, right next to you. You immediately stand up and make a few steps back.
" Now, now. No need to be alarmed little one. If I wanted to harm you, don't you think I would have done it inssstead of waking you? I'm sssorry about the pond by the way, but it ssseemed like fun."
That is true, you can't argue with that fact…the eating part, not the water bed. But what does he want? His large yellow eyes look waiting at you.
" Well? Shall we?"
You furrow your brow.
" Shall we what?", you ask with a suspicious look at his tail.
He simply sighs.
" No need to be shy, I know what you want. Remember? You told me."
Then his eyes blink and he chuckles again.
" Oh wait, you don't."
Apparently he was having a great time. You on the other hand aren't completely convinced that everything will be as harmless as he is making it sound. If you just knew what you had told him.
Then he sighs again.
" Humansss…they don't know what they want. All right I'll make it easssy for you."
