Rob knew he shouldn´t have gone this far and deep ito the jungle. Even though he was living here for years now, the risk of getting lost would always rise with the distance he was walking. "That´s just great, Rob. Way to ignore your instincts", he sighed to himself in dejection. He ran one hand through his cocoa brown hair and looked around. This place looked exactly like ten others he came across in the last hour and he had no idea where he came from.
And here he was, thinking that after all those years he was living here now, since he had moved from kanada, he was familiar with the jungle and could count on his good sence of direction. He´d better think again.
"Now what should I do? It will get dark soon and I can´t stay here all night long", he was thinking loudly. Maybe he should stay quiet, since you never knew what kind of predators you could attract with your voice.

Rob was in a section of the jungle which no mere mortal souls feared to tread. Towering trees with elongated branches conspired to block out the sun, preventing daylight from breaching, leaving only the dimmest of light. This territory belonged to a very mysterious denizen, one who had been observing the boy since he showed up.
"You can stay here with me." Came a soft voice from above the canopy. It appeared to be coming from every direction, leaving Rob confused.

This sudden voice almost made Rob jump, even though it was a very soft and charming voice. It also sounded female. But he wasn't sure where it came from. He looked up above his head in the treetops, but couldn't see a thing.
"Who ist there?", he asked turning around and around in hope to finally spot whoever had spoken there. Was it really possible another human was lost out here as well? But that voice hadn't really sound lost at all.

Are you alone out here? What are you doing so deep in the jungle? The voice came again, almost giggling flirtatiously to Rob. The unseen predator didn’t want to reveal herself just yet. She might terrify him, but her curious and inquisitive nature would soon shine through. For now, she observed the nervous boy.

Rob turned around and around, but there was nothing to bee seen just now. He could only hear some faint noises like some leather was grinding against or around the massive branches all around. "I don´t appreatiate talking so someone who won´t show herself", he shouted out, acting more brave than he actually was. This scene and the voice which he didn´t know who it belonged to made him a little nervous. And maybe it wasn´t so smart to talk back like this when he was so lost. "But to answer your question, I´ve lost the way and don´t know how to get back home. You wouldn´t happen to know the way back to the village, do you?"

I know many ways. Poor lost little cub. I’ll keep you safe. Just you and me."She claimed. That same sound like sandpaper grinding against the branches was everywhere, filling the tangled maze of trees with a sense of foreboding. But this creature would not harm Rob. She seemed driven to protect him from all the dangers of the jungle.

The young boy still wasn´t sure if this girl or woman was trustworthy. He really wanted to believe her, but how could he if she kept hiding herself? "That´s... really nice of you, but all I need is a way home. No need for you to keep me safe. Just show me the path to the village, please." HE did not understand why this voice made such a fuss instead of just telling him what he needed to know. Maybe there were some bad intentions behind it after all?

"Oh no, don’t be scared." The voice came again. “I’m not going to hurt you." That same grinding sound grew louder as the creature that spoke to Rob started to slither down from the canopy of twisted branches. Her piercing eyes focused on his nervousness, sensing that he needed to be put at ease.
"I can stay with you until you find a way out of here. Would that be alright?" The soft voice came again, now closer than before. It caught the boy’s attention, and he slowly began to turn in a particular direction, spotting something hanging from a tree, curious eyes staring down upon him as it began to descend from the tree-branch its long limbless body was hanging upon
It was a large rock-python, it’s long and sinuous body appearing to stretch the length of the branch. "I’ll keep you safe,” The snake spoke to him in that same feminine voice, her tongue flickering out to taste the air as she lowered down further from the branch. “Just you and me, sweet thing."

Rob´s heartbeat began to get stronger with every word the mysterious vioce was speaking. But even though he had no reason to do so, he felt kind of attracted to said words. It was like a sirens call and he felt like it was whispered right into his ear from behind even though he could still see nothing and noone.
That was until that grinding vioce appeared once more, louder and nearer than before. He looked up inti the trees again and remained speechless for what felt like a good 10 minutes. Up there was the largest snake he had ever seen or heard of. Gleaming eyes stared right at him which made him freeze in his position, like he´d expect to be snatched up but the serpent in a moment. Should that happen, Rob was sure to be dead meat. Looking all the way down her gigantic body he couldn´t even wee the end of it. But it was by any words enormous, as wide as his own body and he could see those strong muscles under the glistening scales flex and move.
Rob was a bit confused on how to react at this sight. He had always liked snakes but never met such a huge one that could even speak. And now even feared for his life after all but then he thought that if she would really want to hurt him, there was no reason for her to talk to him. Beeing able to hide her body for this long, she could´ve caught him and tangled him up in her coils anytime. "Oh my... wow", he said as he found his voice again with amazement but a little what was left of his fear as well. "Who are you?"

The python slowly slid down the tree, eyeing him eagerly. “Kaa,” she softly replied, the tone in her voice seemed to allure Rob. Something about this snake really appealed to him. She seemed to be more than just the attractive type with her giant physical form.
But his cautiousness remained strong. He still wasn’t sure whether to trust this snake or not.
Kaa lifted her strong neck and slowly slid around an upstanding tree-branch, keeping her eyes upon him. “Poor, sweet, little cub,” she hissed gently. “How did you end up this lost?”

Still in awe ofthis mighty serpent, Rob just stared at her for a few secs. All of her! Her head was bigger than his with a tounge, probably able to go around his neck once, tasting the air. Her scales were glistening in the diffused light while he could see those strong muscles right under them. They would be able to squeeze him to death in a matter of seconds for sure, if they´d got him in their grasp. And even though she was slithering all around, not hiding herself anymore, he was unable to guess her size. "I... I´m living in a house at the edge of the jungle. I come here very often but I guess, I wandered off too far this time." He was glad that he wasn´t stuttering too much and was able to speak in a clear voice whithout showing too much fear. He sure was worried what would happen if the snake decided to make a dinner out of him, but he was also still amazed by it´s beauty. No, her beauty.

"With little old me discovering you. What sweet irony that I would find a sweet little thing like you out here.” Kaa hissed, never taking her eyes off Rob as she slithered forward. Her head and neck scales were enormous, dwarfing the boy by some considerable size. "Do your guardians know that you are out here?" She hissed coyly.

Rob watched the play of muscles beneath Kaa´s scales. His fingers twitched nervously, eager to touch this massive snake body and feel thos scales and muscles with his hand. But he still wasn´t too sure what her intentions were ith him and didn´t dare to ask. "I... I´m living on my own. I have some friends though but they are living in a village a little further from my place, so..." One of the reasons Rob was coming to the jungle this often was, that he rarely had the chance to see his friends. In this area here, people used no cars and walking all the way would take nearly two hours. So he was alone most of the time. His sentence was left unfinished. He just stared at Kaa´s body a little longer. Should he take the risk and ask her?

Kaa was almost nose to nose with Rob, but her intentions were clear. They weren’t predatory, they were maternal. Deep down, a part of the mighty python yearned to look after the boy like he was one of her own. "Don’t be shy. Most man-cubs normally freeze when they lay their eyes on me. But not you. You’re different." She hissed softly.
Now effectively close to Rob’s trembling face, Kaa lightly nuzzled his cheek to resssure him that she meant no harm.

Rob noticed how he slowly but surely loosened up a little, guessing that if Kaa really wanted to hurt him, she would've done so by now. There was no way why she should put up this act if she was hungry.
"Well... t-to be honest, I am rather i terested in snakes... and you... well... look just amazing." In fact, if it wouldn't be for his natural instinct, Rob would have gladly gotten touchy with this python by now. He was very curious and pretty much fascinated by her. But the sudden nuzzles she gave him quite caught him on surprise. He pushed her away out of reflex, or at least he tried to. With his strength he could never move this river of muscles nd scales. Instead, he felt the smooth and soft surface of those very scales. He stroked the underside of them as well as her chin. He hadn't realized on spot that her push forward has never been threateningly but rather soothing. But he already didn't think about that anymore, now that he was caught in how good this snake body felt under his hands.
