Chapter 8 Severe Pain

She couldn't even think properly now, she could only cry. The python's tail moved her upward, it was slowly opening its mouth, expanded widely and immediately swallowed her from the toes to the head.

The snake closed its mouth afterward... Feeling satisfied as it slowly moved to look for a place to rest while having a very big belly bulge.

'Am I gonna die now? But I don't want to. Mom, dad... I miss you so much! Is this really the end?'

The young girl could only cry as her consciousness slowly fading. She was just nine years old, she hadn't even enjoyed her life half to the fullest yet. She was so heartbroken, could only do sobs in silence...

She was about to give up when suddenly, she saw an illusion of her family trying to reach her.

Sweetie, no matter what you have to stay strong. We love you so much dear, we could no longer wait for the day that our family will be together once again... Her mom told her.

'But mom...'

No buts dear, we love you so much! We will be together soon, so wait for us! Her dad interrupted her and after uttering those words they slowly fading into the air.

'Mom! Dad! Don't leave me here!' *sobs*

You have to live dear, your fate is in your hands... Both of them disappeared.

In your hands...

In your hands...

In your hand...

Those words echoed inside her.

'My fate is in my hand...' Out of nowhere she unconsciously clenched her fists.

Inside the big snake, she felt that her entire body was heating, but when she closed her hands tightly, she felt a cold feeling on her right hand that suddenly sent electricity on her head waking her up.

When she returned to her senses, the first thing that she noticed was the unique dagger that she was still holding.

'Right, I still have this. I brought it with me so I can protect my self.'

After the sudden realization, she slowly moved her left hand to the right and both hands now were holding the dagger...

With all her might, she made few slashes all around the corner. She was having a hard time while doing so, for the snake was moving violently... But she never stopped.

After a moment, she felt a cold air coming in, she focused her everything towards that area. The snake stopped moving, she was able to make a big hole on its stomach. Not enough for her to get out though, but her strength was no more...

She rest, not a bad thing to do since she can breathe now.

A short while had passed, she once again was to continue. She cut the area with the hole from up slowly slicing down.

It's not that hard to do so now, it was thanks to the dagger's sharpness making her do an effort with double the result.

Next... She held each side of the flesh that she cut with her right and left hands.

She then gave it her all as she was slowly getting out of the snake's belly while the blood of the snake also gushing out.

Huff huff huff... Finally, I was able to go back from that hell! You meanie! I hate you! I hate you!...

She kicked the snake's head while venting out showing how she really disliked the creature. When she calmed down, she took a bath in the river to wash the blood on her body and went back to the cave.

It was very peaceful along the way. She even felt that the animals nearby were avoiding her direction, probably because of stench from the snake's blood that was not thoroughly washed away yet.

Well, what important is that...

She was already safe. Though that was the case, she was feeling that every part of her body was hurting. Aside from that, she has some cuts all over her skin where blood was still flowing.

When she reached the cave, she suddenly went in to check if the birds were already inside.

But that wasn't the case, the male hadn't returned yet, so she relaxed for a bit and checked her wounds. Her body was full of cuts and scars, even the one from the helicopter crash wasn't healed completely yet, and now another batch that is worse had been added.
