Sandra's daydreaming about meeting Alice back at the camp would remain a dream, as she would likely encounter the same fate than her girlfriend soon enough. This would probably less of a pleasant experience though, since Ra'zak was mean and cruel, and herself did not have the same liking towards snakes than Alice.
"Oh, I'm sorry" the black serpent said with a sneer. "That's not the worst way I could have approached you though." Ra'zak loved instilling fear in his preys, and make them think they can escape before catching them, taking his time to make them experience terror before he finally crush them in his titanic coils. Judging by her anger and tone, this one was tough and would not be that easy to scare: this was the promise of a fun evening for Ra'zak.

Sandra run a hand along her forehead and brushed some of her hair aside. What in the world was happening here? She should make love to her girlfriend right now but instead she was wandering off into the deep jungle in the middle of the night and was now talking to a huge serpent. It had been a long day - like everyday out here, since getting food and water was quite a challenge - and she wanted what she needed to refill her batteries. "Oh please, don´t gimme that. Why don´t you go and try to scare a rabbit or anything?", she said and pointed into a random direction. Her frustration led to her sharp tongue and a loose mouth. She was refusing to let this snake scare her - fine. But how wise could it be to anger such an enormous and intelligent animal? She never considered what could happen to her if this snake was done with talking. "Now if you excuse me", Sandra tried to end this conversation if it had ever been one and walked past Ra'zak.

It took a while for Ra'zak to process what happened. How insolent could this human be? Surely she should be able to tell how overpowered she was here, thought the black snake. He finally gathered himself and moved a gigantic coil in front of her, blocking her path. "And where do you think you're going?" Ra'zak said with a snarl. "Actually, rabbits are way too small of a meal for me" he added almost playfully, while more of his gigantic coils were coming down from the canopy for the tall brunette to see. Sandra's defiant attitude was actually getting him excited, despite being offended at first. She should be a fun one to break...

Sandra froze in place as a thick rope of muscles covered in black scales appeared before her, keeping her from going further. She´d better not imagine what would happen to her if she did anyway and got too close. But unfortunately more and more coils lowered from above, blocking every possible angle to flee from this snake. She also realized how damn huge he was for the first time. His midsection was easily as wide as her waist and she could see the muscles flexing beneath the scales shimmering in the moonlight. " What in the world was this serpent? A snake this big couldn´t possibly exist. Still, she tried to not let him intimidate her so she turned around and looked directly into his eyes. "And who do you think you are from keeping me? Go catch yourself whatever you want or just stay hungry as for hell I care. But I am leaving", she said without anyway to go though. A drop of sweat was running down her face and her legs were shaking just a tiny bit. Now that he had proven himself quite stubborn her mind was racing in her head, trying to find a way out of this mess. Should she just try to run and dodge those coils? But what if he managed to grab her. WIth a body his huge it would mean certain doom.

The more defiant Sandra acted towards him, the more eager Ra'zak was to get his coils around her. But there was no rush, and it would love letting her think she can escape him only to chase her down and bring the cruel truth to her: she was simply no match for the mighty predator he was. For now, he wanted to make her mind think about what he could do, seeing how tough she could act in front of such a perilous situation.
"I might just take your advice on that, girl-cub. And to answer your question, I'm Ra'zak, blessed with the most powerful coils in the jungle. And you are... ?". While boasting and subtly threatening his newfound 'friend', he flexed said coils around, showing off how muscular they were. There was still an opening to try and make a run for escape, but he might be able to grab her if she turned her attention away from him.

Sandra was not really interested in this snake´s name. She´d never even thought that wild animals had names in the first place. And neither did she want to tell him her own name or anything else about her. What was he even thinking or expecting to happen? He should have noticed already that she had no intention of listening to him. Sadly he did not give her much of a choice. Most paths were blocked and the bruenette was unable to find a way out. Plus the way those coils moved and waved around she got a good idea of how strong they had to be. They appeared to be weightless and curled quite elegantely in mid air. Sandra had to get away now or she may never would. Trying to find a solution she kept Ra'zak busy with some small talk. "I´m Sandra. And I was just on my way back to camp. You know, when you held me up." She was still cocky but kept her voice a little lower. To anger him further was not the way to go here. "Do you even have some sort of reason to do that?"

"Pleased to meet you Sandra" Ra'zak chuckled, seeing very well that she was not pleased to make small talk with him but was kinda forced to. He also noted the bit about her camp, indicating there might be more of delicious morsels for him and the rest of his kind after he'll be done playing with her.
"Why won't you make a guess about that?" he finally said while playfully brushing around her shoulders with a massive black coil. He would probably play hide and seek with her before getting serious, but first he wanted the tall brunette to fully realize what was at stake if she lose, and make sure she knew about the way his kind used to hunt.

"Pleased"... what a jerk. He acted like Sandra was just chatting with him. The only thing he could do to please her was to get lost. But he was doing the opposite. He brushed a part of his body against her shoulders which made her grunt as she stepped aside and pushed it away. At least she tried to. But even this single coil was way too heavy for her. "Thanks but I'm not interested in guessing games. So don't you just let me leave?" Pretty sure Ra'zak wouldn't do that, Sandra slowly stepped into a certain direction. There was a tiny oath between two dangling coils she might be able to slip through. If she was fast and Ra'zak was a little slow that is. She did not like her chances but at least she had one. Sandra just needed to distract the snake a little. "Surely a huge snake like you has no need to bother himself with a harmless human girl, right?", she tried to fake flatter him and tool another step to the side.

Ra'zak had to refrain a laugh when she tried to push his coil aside: as fearless as she was, there was no way such a weak creature could overpower him. He did catch her glances for an opening, but that was fine to him, as he liked a bit of chasing to work his appetite beforehand.
"That's just the thing, my dear. I am not harmless, and I believe I actually found you at the perfect time" the black serpent said, licking his lips for emphasis. "What about a little game? I give you a head start, and if you can outrun me, I won't be bothering you anymore. But if you can't... Well let's just say you'll see how breathtaking I can be" Ra'zak said with a cruel grin.

As Ra'zak licked his scaly lips with his long tongue, Sandra got shivers down her spine. She had an idea of that but now his intetnions were very obvious. She had to get away here asap. His grin was discusting to her. It was the one of a hangman mocking a death sentenced person. But she wouldn´t go down that easily. But if she´d just run now then she would do exactly what he wanted and that was no option. If she tried to flee, she had to trick him and gain a little advantage. "I´m not playing your stupid games", she answered but slowly stepped towards the opening she had spotted already. "So if you really are the big, scary snake you pretend to, then I suggest..." And that was where she suddenly stopped talking and started running. Sandra ducked below two his Ra'zak´s coils and quickly got out of the thretaning barrier of his body that had surrounded her. Now she really ran for it. With all her legs and lungs could give. At least that´s waht she wanted. But the thick underwoods and the darkness of the jungle night made it impossible for her. She could barely see where she was running. But she had to run. To camp would be best of course but for now anywhere was fine.

Sandra's sudden interruption did surprise Ra'zak. He was ready to exchange teasing threats and angry comebacks from the feisty girl for a bit longer before starting the chase, but she decided against waiting for him to lead the game.
He did have plan to give her a head start anyways however, so that trick was not changing much. With how thick the vegetation was, and from how far he could sense her delicious smell, Ra'zak was pretty confident he'd able to find her pretty easily. The black snake waited a whole minute, and started slithering through the jungle, towards his target. His massive form going through the vegetation was giving many of the jungle's inhabitants the fear of their lifetime, but they should not worry: his mind was set on one prey alone.

Sandra panted and grunted as shekept running. Or rather while she was tripping and jolting her way through the jungle. All the trees, bushes and even smaller plants made it super hard for her and she soon had several scatrches on her whole body. For the first time she wished she´d put on long clothes but due to the heat everyone in the group was wearing as less as possible all the time. And while Sandra was indeed afraid to run into something - be it flora or anotehr animal - right now she was more worried about the one that was after her. Was Ra'zak even after her?
Sandra dared to look over her shoulder. Pointless attempt. She could barely see ten feet ahead or rather behind of herself. But being such a huge snake he should have trouble keeping up with her, shouldn´t he? Right then the girl tripped over a root and stook out of the ground a bit and fell into the grass. Her foot hurt and her lungs were burning. "Damn it. Damn it!", she cursed and bit her lip. What was she supposed to do now? She had no idea where the camp was. Or where she was. Or where Ra'zak was. She just sat herself up, crouching on the jungle floor and looking around as if the sollution was written on a nearby tree. Her body was starting to shiver in fear.

As expected, the chase and perspective of being hunted by a giant constrictor was creating more fear in his preys than just taking there immediately, and the cruel snake loved it, his grudge towards human as strong as ever. He sure hoped the fearless and proud girl would start to realize in how much of a predicament she just was.
He finally caught up to her, being more suited at slithering between obstacles, and focused on her delicious scent. It seemed she stopped to catch a breath and look behind her, so Ra'zak took his time bringing all of his massive coils in the bushes near the exhausted girl. Then, ready to jump on her as soon as she'd move, he started hissing loudly, making his presence known...

Sandra´s body was trembling. What to do? Where to run? She just didn´t know. She was alone in the jungle in the middle of the night - what a perfect horror szenario. She just wanted to lay down and give up, wait for morning to come or just as well for someone to find her and bring her back home. But noone would come. Even if her friends were already searching for her, she must have diverged from camp way too far by now.
A sudden sharp noise made Sandra´s alarm bells ring. Something was in the bushes right behind her. That noise... it was the hissing of a snake! Her eyes went wide and she wanted to scream but instead she made use of her breath by jumping on her feet and trying to flee. She didn´t even consider the pssibility that this might be a different one. That this might not be Ra'zak. he risk was too high. If that damn snake got her even once she´d be done for.

They were indeed running (or slithering, in Ra'zak's case) on the opposite direction from camp from where the black snake first met Sandra. Her friends might be concerned already at the fact neither Yvonne, Alice or her had come back from the jungle, but they were probably way too far to find the only one who could still be saved.
Ra'zak was pleased at the fact than even in that dire situation, the tall brunette was not giving up and tried to run without a thought. Too many of his "game partners" just cowered in fear and waited for him to ensnare them in his smothering coils, but this one had quite the strong will, and kept fighting despite the obvious fear replacing her cocky attitude from earlier.
Of course, that would not save her. In a spur of swirling black coils, Ra'zak jumped on her from behind, and looped a thick coil, as wide as her own midsection, around her waist. He just turned her around, to face him and the rest of his black coils, shivering from excitement at the prospect of wrapping her up. "Found you", Ra'zak said in a deep, amused voice.
