Sienna had a nice dream.She was at home, eating warm waffles...then she started waking up and she felt dampness in her hair!She shivered and tried to tug herself deeper inside the blankets. She noticed they are unusually furry..."How strange?" she touch them...then she opened her eyes and she found out with horror, that she is actually in the cave buried in furs and the notion of her being home is just a dream!
The wild smell hit her nose and cold morning air was almost sharp to breath! It was so cold she did not want to ever leave the blankets! Sienna did not like furs, but she was cold.
She remembered the snake and look around. The dim light of the rising sun was entering the grotto. The grotto was made of sandstone and was quite dry.It had small stones, leaves and crystals scattered on the floor.
Sienna did not notice the snake. "Maybe he is out."she thought. She checked her bra and knickers, which were drying next to her, but it was still slightly wet.."Oh no,"she said," I need to dry them, I have no other clothes." Sienna covered herself in the red cotton fabric from the day before, which was tugged halfway on her body as she slept and went to peek out. She really wanted to go toilet.
"Where do you think you are going?" the voice from the cave thundered...
"Aaa," Sienna turned around and saw the huge snake
"Is he going to eat me now?"Sienna thought and flinched. "I'm sorry, I just need to go wee..".she said carefully."Good morning! Did you sleep well?"
The snake slither outside with her. "Can you let me go by myself to wee please? "she asked.
"After you promise you will not run away," said the snake.
"I promise I do not run away till tomorrow morning.." said Sienna.
"What do you mean? What about tomorrow morning? Where do you want to go?" asked the snake curiously.
" I need to look for a big crystal in Crystal City.."Sienna said, "To go home."
"No, you belong to me," said the snake coldly.
" I promise only till tomorrow morning. You can try to capture me again if you are so strong..."Sienna said cheekily.
"Why will I do that for? I got you already."The snake was baffled.
" Aaw, you are worried that you will be not able to catch me again?" Sienna asked, " I understand then...you are not so strong after all..."
The snake turned into his half man form and stared at Sienna.."How dare you are to talk to me like this?" he grabbed her hand tightly.
Sienna gave him a lovely smile."Let's call it a game!" she said..." I will try to run away 3 days each morning and if you catch me, I will stay till the next morning. If you catch me 3rd time as well, I will never try to run away again and you own me for good. But you need to get me till midday if you are that capable." she looked at him smiling with a challenging face...
"Why would I do that.?" he said again...
"For fun and to prove that you are not as weak as you sound," she said innocently.
"Silly woman...how dare you are to challenge me?" Snake King shook his head.
"Why not? I deserve a chance too, no?" she asked.
"...but ok, it may be fun... "he said "You will see what I do to you after I catch you on the third day. " His face darkened.
Sienna got worried but she was happy, she got herself one day to rest and 3 chances to run away... the men are so prideful," she laughed in her mind.
" Can I go now to wee, please," she said hiding laughter and moving her hand from Snake King's one..she was so pleased with herself.
Snake King let her go..."I will see if she keeps her word." he thought."How can this woman even think she has a chance to get away from me...hahaha! She is not able to survive on her own for an hour."he chuckled in his mind."I should go around my territory to scare the predators away." he thought."It would be a pity if she became someone else's lunch!"he thought and was quite looking forward to play catch with her.
Snake left and Sienna finally managed to go toilet in peace..she felt so much better, then she went to the river and wash her face. It was slightly fresh, but the sun was already up and it was looking like a hot summer day is coming. She could not wait to get soaked in sun, her bones still felt frozen, even though she was covered in that cotton fabric.
She also felt very hungry.."I need to find something to eat and make some clothes."she sighed.Sienna was very good at sewing but was not sure what can she find to use as a needle and thread. Also, will the snake let her use something to make clothes? She will need to prepare for her run away in the morning.
She went to search for food first. On the other side of the river, she noticed some fruit trees, they looked like mangos, and the tree was not very tall at all, "I can try that."she start thinking about how to reach them. Siena looked around, there was nobody in sight, she did not want to wet the red cotton fabric and she got no clothes apart from almost dry underwear, and was extremely hungry.
"Nobody will see me anyway, "she folded the fabric and started to swim thru the river, it was not too wide, just around 10 meters wide, however, the current was quite strong and it took Sienna further down, so she had to walk back to the trees.
"How humiliating," she thought," I'm walking naked through the forest like an animal, at least nobody sees me.Maybe I can make the grass skirt or leave dress," she thought, but then again, she was not very good about plants knowledge, but knew some plants had poisonous oils on their leaves, so she would not randomly pick up any big leaf to cover herself up.
"I better get those mangoes and swim back," she said. "But how I will carry it and swim at the same time?"
"Aaahhh..dilemma again"...Sienna finally reach the tree and glanced at the grotto from another side, to her surprise she saw a mango tree directly above the grotto as well!
It had lots of fruit on it too." I'm so dumb," she shook her head."I should check the other side first," but because she was at the tree already, she picked some mangos and took them to the river to wash.
She was indeed hungry, so she ate a few straight away, it was honey mango, so was incredibly sweet and full of energy." Wow, love it . At least something nice today." said Sienna and went swimming back.She was feeling a bit cold and wanted to cuddle up under that blanket again. Then she wanted to make some clothes for her. As she was swimming inside the river something coiled around her waist...
"Ahhh" she shrieked..then she saw a Snake King entertained face...
"What an interesting view! I was thinking you are shy, but indeed you walk around naked, I'm so happy you feel so comfortable here."
Sienna blushed.."I have no clothes apart from my underwear, which is still drying..., I did not want to wet it again, is uncomfortable to be in wet clothes, "she blurted.
"I don't mind." said the snake ..."I like to see you like this...Sienna.." he said and stared at her big breasts, it was DD size.
Sienna put her hair over it quickly."I will feel better with some clothes on.Can you please help me to make some? I'm getting cold very easily," she said seriously.
"Hm, ok, "said the snake, "I can't let you run through the forest naked after all tomorrow, your bum is too white, you will be very easy to find." he laughed.
"Aaah, you are so rude! "Sienna blushed."Don't look at it, if you don't like it.." she said.
"I did not say I don't like it" snake teased her, "It looks tasty..."
Sienna stayed pale," What's your name by the way?" She asked to change the theme quickly.
"Sharchan." said the half-snake.
"Nice name, it suits you, "Sienna smiled.She tried to be polite.
"Let's make you those clothes...come, "Sharchan said.
Then he pulled her through the water to the other side. Sienna ran to grab her cotton piece and cover herself, her face was all red and her body was cold and wet.
"Sharchan" Sienna whispered...I will be maybe eaten by a snake named Sharchan. That is surreal, but I don't need to worry for the next 3 days, so let's make that clothes." she thought excitedly. "If it is going to be my last 3 days, I should make the most of it," she sighed, "Who knows, maybe I will be able to escape..."
Sienna followed Sharchan to his grotto. He went to the back of the cave. There was a big boulder covering the wall entrance. Sharchan moved the stone easily.
" WOW, "said Sienna and tried to push the stone. It was rock-solid in the ground. "He must be extremely strong! "Would I be able to escape him at all?"
"Come," he said.
Sienna went inside the cave opening.It looked like a treasure room full of wooden chests with golden coins, sparkly gems, pearls, and different items.
Sharchan opened one chest and picked a blue silky fabric. "Here, try this." he gave the fabric to Sienna.
" What is this fabric from?" Sienna asked.
"It is spider silk, "Sharchan said.
Sienna heard of spider silk before." That must take ages to make." she said.
"Are those spiders big? "she asked with a dummy face.
Sharchan looked at her." It is just a fabric, or are you scared of spiders?" he asked with a smirk.
Sienna did not reply, she did not feel that comfortable putting on a spider silk dress, but had no choice, she did not want to upset him." No, it is beautiful. "she said. "Why would you keep a treasure?"
"I'm a king, I have to have many treasures and for the fun of course... is fun collecting a treasure..and also for my future queen... when I will find her.." he looked at Sienna seriously.
"Ok, thank you for this fabric then, "she said.
"Don't you want anything more? "he asked.
"No, I will be fine with this...you should keep the rest for your future queen..."Sienna said.
"Don't insult me!" he raged..."I have more than enough... "
"Do you have any sewing stuff?"Sienna asked carefully, she did not want to upset him more.
"I do not have a needle yet," he said, "I will get you some later, for now, use this" he pick up a few round brooches and a sparkly gold belt, just pin it on your shoulders, he said.
"Great idea. Thank you for everything" Sienna smiled." It will look like dresses from ancient Greece,... but how am I supposed to run in it?" she thought.
Sienna went out. Sharchan was searching for some time and then he walk out with a few silky brocade cushions and a huge mirror.
"Here, as you will be staying here for a few days, I'm giving you your own space..." he said.
He placed the mirror against the wall and put a small blue carpet next to it, then he chucked a few silky cushions and a blanket on it .
"Here, here is your space!" he said.
"Thank you.." said Sienna..." He is quite considerate. "she thought. Sienna liked her little space, she felt like in the treasure cave. She was also a bit confused, "Why would he be so nice..." she wondered.
Sienna decided to make 2 dresses, one long one to wear now and for the night and one shorter one when she try to run away. Then she made a small bag to take with her as well. The silky fabric did not fray, so she asked Sharchan to cut little tassels on the ends and she just tied them together. "Perfect."she was quite happy with her creation!
