The afternoon sun blazed over the Yagtai Jungle and the growing town of Khadan at its southern edge. The east Asian jungle was a wide expanse of miles and miles of untamed, exotic wilderness. Home to powerful and fantastic creatures that lived nowhere else and many that had yet to be seen by human eyes. Even in the modern technological age, the jungle remained a vast, hostile landscape whose secrets would take many more decades to fully uncover.
The town of Khadan, which had started as a trading outpost, grew larger with each passing year. Explorers, scientists, mercenaries and more made their homes and earned their livelihoods living on the outskirts of the dangerous jungle. In time, its reputation and allure began to draw in other types of travelers, as well. Tourists, thrill-seekers, and even some celebrities visited each year, contributing to the town's growth and reputation. Yagtai was one of the last places in the world where uncharted wilderness could still exist.
And while the jungle's deadliest denizens lived deep in the heart of the jungle, Khadan itself was not as safe as many assumed. In fact, some of its most cunning hunters purposefully avoided the center and instead hunted elsewhere. These creatures were not towering beasts, like some of Yagtai's great behemoths, but were deadly nevertheless.
That afternoon, one such creature was on the hunt. Long, thick coils slithered through the canopy of dense jungle trees, edging close to the town of Khadan itself. The jet-black scales, criss-crossed with bands of ghostly white, shined with a bright iridescence under the hot sun. A forked tongue tasted the air, searching for prey, while a pair of orange-red eyes scanned the area. So far from the center of the jungle, the thirty-foot-long snake was without question the deadliest creature in this part of the jungle.
The black snake's name was Zerin and he was a kind of snake that wouldn't officially be discovered and studied for several more years. However, rumors of his kind were numerous amongst the explorers and superstitious residents of Khadan. For their unsettling ability to hypnotize and control almost anyone that crossed paths with them, they were known as hypno-snakes. And Zerin was amongst the cruelest of them all.
Zerin had claimed the outskirts of Khadan village as his territory years ago, warding off any others that might want it. While others of his kind might content themselves with staying in the jungle, Zerin wanted to stay close to the town, so he could continue to dine on his favorite prey. In fact, that was what he was doing that very day. A few disappearances a year were to be expected in a town as busy as Khadan, and so close to the deadly jungle. Zerin had learned that he could pluck out a human meal every few months without any care or concern. His favorite were young girls that had such a unique, excellent flavor, and slid down his throat with ease into his hungry belly.
Though his last meal was long gone, Zerin did not feel the pangs of starvation that sometimes happened when he had trouble locating a meal. As he was, he could afford to wait, if he needed to. Or, if he couldn't find just the right prey. But he remained hopeful. Instead, he looked forward to the chance to more properly play with his food before eating her. He always enjoyed it when he could play with his meal, sometimes for hours on end, until he broke her. It took a special kind of prey to endure his games for that long, but it always made him remember his first meal, the one that he had-
Wait a moment.
Zerin flicked his tongue quicker. Hmmm...he liked that scent. It was...enticing. It was faint, but he knew it immediately as a young, human female. Closer to the jungle than normal, as well. There were others with her, but that was to be expected. At the moment, he didn't notice anything special about this one, but he was headed that direction regardless. It was worth investigating, to be sure.
And if he was lucky? Well, he looked forward to making her sing for a while before he filled his belly...

Surely Zerin had never met an opportunity like Sara Rodriguez putting herself in such a dangerous spot. The young pop star was surely a sight to behold: tanned skin inherited from her hispanic origins, a perfect combination of delicate and hot. Her frail neck and thin arms would offer little resistance to the predator's full constrictive power, but she had those squishy curves in all the right places to make it worth the catch. Her outfit was not hiding much of it, as she was only wearing tight, black yoga pants, and a white sports bra, letting her midriff completely exposed.
But for the moment, Sara was mostly throwing a tantrum at her crew. Her agent has decided that the video for her next song should be shot in an 'authentic' location, whatever that was supposed to mean, when the jungle shots could very well have been done in a studio rather than in this suffocatingly hot hell of a jungle. They even made her carry a freaking actual python on her shoulders! Sure, the poor beast was heavily drugged, but she shouldn't accept the risk of getting strangled to death just because her crew wouldn't pay for good CGI, right?
"I'm so over it, Angel" Sara yelled, her high-pitched voice quite beautiful even in anger. "That's enough for today, I'm going back to the hotel. Good luck for wrapping this up without me!". At that, the petite brunette left off in the jungle, in the approximate direction of the nearest road.
Of course, she wouldn't actually try to get back to the city on her own, she was mainly acting out of frustration, getting away from the crew to evacuate her anger and cool down. But little did Sara knew, the 'authenticity' of this jungle was including more than just heat and mosquitos...

Zerin slowed his pace as he approached the group of humans on the outskirts of the jungle. Climbing through the trees meant it was easy for him to avoid the border fence that the humans used to keep the jungle threats away from their town. For Zerin himself, that just meant less competition for potential prey whenever he climbed over it. However, he stayed cautious, always aware that an observant enough human could spot him in his hiding place and ruin his hunt completely.
He flicked his tongue while he surveyed the area. Humans bustled here and there with different kinds of electronic equipment. Though he had no idea what any of it did, he had seen humans carrying similar items plenty of times before. However, there was something different about this group. They all seemed to be buzzing around one particular spot where...
Mmmmmmmmmmm...
Zerin got his first look at the source of the delightful scent that had led him to this spot. The girl was young and gorgeous. She was slender, with the right amount of feminine curves, wearing clothing that revealed ample portions of her smooth skin. Her toned belly especially made Zerin's mouth water as he thought about licking and squeezing her before swallowing her. She was exactly the kind of prey that Zerin delighted in eating so much and he knew it could be years before he spotted anything near as good again.
Yet, he kept himself calm. Human girls like this were always well-guarded, which this one obviously was. He had to resign himself to simply watching, for now. He envied the python that another human was positioning around her shoulders. Ahhhh, to touch that warm skin! It was too small to eat her, of course, but were he in that position, Zerin would have been tempted to tighten around her neck just to hear what noises she made with a nice choke...his evolutionary cousin had no idea what sort of luck it had.
"I'm so over it, Angel! That's enough for today, I'm going back to the hotel. Good luck for wrapping this up without me!"
The girl's sudden outburst startled even Zerin. Hearing her voice for the first time made him think pleasant, wicked thoughts. He loved the high-pitched, feminine quality to it. How interesting...
Even more interesting was how she stomped off not closer to the town, but actually deeper into the jungle! Zerin felt his cold blood rise several degrees as he watched her go. Did she just...willingly separate herself from the group of humans guarding her? Suddenly, beauty to admire from afar and only imagine actually tasting was starting to dangle itself in front of him.
Quickly, but quietly, he followed after her, keeping close watch on the group of flabbergasted humans the entire way. He couldn't waste the opportunity. It had to be now!

Sara had no idea about the terrifying threat following her, or she'd have lost her mind, considering how badly she reacted to the much smaller python she had to carry for the photoshoot. The short-tempered pop star had ignored entirely the warnings about Yagtai's many perils when they arrived in Khadan, and she had no idea something as dangerous as Zerin even existed to begin with.
The brunette walked at least five minutes into the dense vegetation, swearing at her crew all the way, before she stopped in a small clearing. She sat down on a log, trying to collect her thoughts and calm down, her skin glistening from all the sweat this effort took out of her. She had no idea she was basically offering herself on a plate to her secret admirer...

Flicking his tongue, Zerin followed after the delicious morsel that just abandoned her only source of protection. Better still, not a single one of the other humans was following after her. The more the distance between Zerin's prey and the other humans increased, the more time he had to ambush her and take her somewhere out of sight. He listened for that sweet-sounding voice, wondering what he could do to make her sing...
Finally, the girl stopped at a fallen log at the center of a small clearing. Her finely-sculpted body looked so delightful, shining beneath the sun. Though he could hypnotize prey with his eyes, Zerin preferred to save it as a last resort. He took far greater pleasure in subduing his prey the old-fashioned way, through stealth and pure strength. The prey was more rewarding if it had no idea what was coming. He liked letting them squirm.
Trying his best not to rush and accidentally alert his meal, Zerin slithered down the length of a tree on the opposite side of where the girl sat. He kept flicking his tongue, worried that another human would come looking for this gorgeous meal, but now they were so far away he couldn't sense anything. There was only Zerin and his sweet prey.
The long, winding shape of Zerin's black scales slowly approached the unsuspecting pop star, eager to squeeze her delicate frame. He stayed low to the ground, coming up behind her and never making a sound. Just a few more moments...

Sara's crew decided it was better to let the entitled pop star cool down and give her space. This simple decision probably sealed her fate, although it was unsure a few more humans could have been enough to take her out of Zerin's coils.
"Those idiots" Sara was rambling out loud in her clearing, unaware of the suffocating peril lurking above her. "And this stupid jungle! It's so freaking hot and full of mosquitos!" Her tanned skin was still glistening from all the sweat, and the way she arched her back... Well, her body was bound to bend much more in the near future, anyway. This was the perfect opportunity for the predator to claim her, Angel being minutes away and not having decided to come looking after her yet.

Once again, hearing the girl's voice sent a delighted shiver through Zerin's scales. Apparently she liked to talk to herself a lot, as well. His mind quickly flashed back to his previous meals, ones that reacted with pure terror and despair to ones that tried to fight all the way until the end. He wondered which one this girl would be...
In moments he would find out, because he had reached the base of the log where she sat. He twisted his neck and watched her from a sideways angle as she arced her body, stretching out her alluring, delicious frame in plain view. Her enticing scent filled the air now that he was so close and her smooth, tanned skin made him eager to squeeze.
And he didn't need to wait any longer.
The moment she finished stretching, Zerin lunged forward. In a lightning-quick flash of movement, the huge snake wrapped twice around the girl's stomach, covering her belly with two thick bands of coils. He quickly followed up with an intense squeeze into that flawless stomach, forcing the air out of her and stifling any attempt at screaming for help before she ever got the chance.
Zerin immediately yanked her off of the log and down to the jungle floor, landing flat on her back amidst even more of his coils. He moved quickly, coiling up her legs next to prevent any kicking. His tail started winding down and over her thighs, keeping his grip tight the entire way. No matter what, he'd need her secured and subdued before he dragged her off into the jungle with him.
All of this took less than thirty seconds. Zerin didn't even bother to speak to his prey, or check her reaction to her peril. There would be plenty of time for that soon enough.

He didn't leave her a single chance to fight back. A second before Sara was ranting, talking to herself on that log, the second after she had coils harder than steel coiled around her midsection, forcing the air out of her and making her gasp loudly instead of the piercing scream she should have made to alert her crew, or anyone, to have a chance of making out of the predator's grip.
Before she could even make sense of what happened, she was yanked on the ground, violently. It was only when Zerin began to coil her slender legs, stopping them from kicking around, than her brain realize what was attacking her,and this sparked terror like she had never felt. How big was that thing? This was so much worse than the python she had to carry earlier, and obviously it was much more aggressive. Little did the young pop star knew, she wouldn't even have the sweet release of a quick death like a normal constrictor would have given her...

Whether it was by shock, terror, or something else entirely, Zerin realized that his prey wasn't fighting back, yet. The gasp when he squeezed her stomach was a nice preview of things to come, but he somewhat expect more struggling. No matter, that would just make subduing her even easier. And besides, she'd need her energy for later.
Deciding to enjoy the moment of capture just a bit more, Zerin slowed his pace. He finished coiling around the girl's thighs and tightly tied her legs together. He then squeezed into her stomach a bit harder, forcing out a few more delightful gasps while looking straight into her eyes. However, he didn't wait long, reminding himself that he had no idea when the girl's companions might come looking for her. And it would take some time to pull her into a private place, away from prying eyes.
With another quick flash of movement, Zerin looped his neck around his prey's. He squeezed tightly into her supple, delicate neck, closing her airway and choking her. Hard. He watched her for a few moments and listened to the wonderful noises she made. Ohhhhh, he was going to like this one a lot....
"Sssssshhh..." he hissed right in front of her, flicking his tongue so that it licked her nose, "from now on...you're only allowed to breathe...when I let you..."
He grinned sadistically at her and squeezed even harder than before, demonstrating what the rest of her day had in store for her.

The pop star began to thrash around for survival as soon as she understood what caught her. Her terror was still mixed with anger, her entitled self wondering how dare such a stupid (or so she thought) creature even touch her. Her amazing body squirming in Zerin tightening grasp was certainly a nice reward for him, as Yagtai jungle had seldom seen such a beauty risking her life by entering it.
Sara was only gasping due to the strain on her ribcage, when the black snake decided to wrap up her neck and strangle her, making her choke loudly "Urkk! Agh... Ulck!". That's when she heard his voice, as he playfully licked her face, and her eyes opened even wider. Her struggling even stopped, as he threatened her, but she was only rewarded with the harshest squeeze she had to endure... yet.

Ah. There it was. The moment of fear and recognition of her fate. Of course, he was already choking and squeezing her, so any chance she might have had to call for help was long gone. He'd never let her yell loud enough, now. He'd choke it out of her first.
Seeing that, Zerin tightened his coils even harder. It was impossible to resist the urge when he had such perfect prey caught in his coils and she was making such lovely noises. Even her choking was high-pitched and musical! But Zerin quickly reminded himself that he needed to secure the prey and take her out of reach of the other humans first. Once that was done, he'd have all the time in the world to play.
Keeping a firm hold on her, Zerin slithered further up the path of coils he had already wrapped around her. He adjusted his grip so that he could hold her with the lower half of his body and slither onwards with the upper half while still keeping her secure. He loosened a little bit to make sure she could get some tiny, tiny breaths in. He didn't want her passing out while moving her, after all.
He slithered towards the closest tree, dragging the secured prey along behind him. Wrapped up the way she was, her head was about level with his stomach, a single thick band stretching her neck out. As he moved, his felt his stomach rumble in eagerness for the coming meal, whispering in her ear what her fate would be.
Zerin grinned wickedly as he pulled the girl up the tree. Ten, twenty, thirty feet before he was satisfied, the dense jungle canopy more than enough to keep his prey hidden while he played with his food. He set her down so that she was seated with her legs dangling over one side of a thick branch. He loosened just a bit as he prepared to reposition his coils around her, never once letting go of her slender neck.
"Get your breath back now, my prey," Zerin commanded her, "you'll need it for what I'm going to do..."
