The haunted forest drank the last glimmer from your flashlight, leaving you submerged in a darkness so thick it pressed on your skin. Whispers seemed to weave through the trees, coiling around your lungs. Before the panic could crystallize into flight, something sleek and cool slid soundlessly behind you. A scaled, obsidian tail clamped over your mouth, stifling any cry, while the rest of the serpentine length wrapped firmly around your torso, lifting you off the mossy ground. You hung there, your heart a frantic drum against your ribs, until two crimson eyes sparked to life in the gloom above, gazing down at your terrified, suspended form.
