//-------------------------------------------------------// A slithery demise -by Lavender Goo- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// A bratty feast //-------------------------------------------------------// A bratty feast " Ugh, how much further Diamond? This forest is gross...", Silver spoon squeaked. "Oh, shut up you pea-brain! I'm sure we're nearly there... And you don't think I'm grossed out by this too?!". Diamond tiara hated this more than she hated Silver spoon. "Well it was your idea to take a detour!", Silver exclaimed. "Ugh, yes but I didn't think it'd be this... Long and... Disgusting". She paused her words to check for mud below her hooves. She DID NOT want to get her hooves dirty. Silver spoon let out an annoyed sigh and checked the ground for a dry patch. "What the hay are you doing?!". Diamond had had just about enough of this imbecile... "Trying to sit down! I'm tired and we've been walking for hours, I'm resting whether you like it or not". With that, Silver sat on a small patch of grass that was just about her size. Diamond tiara huffed through her nostrils and sat next to silver, leaning her chin on her hoof in annoyance. They were sat directly under a large tree, which couldn't be defined by type. The route had supposed to have been a short-cut to Diamond tiara's grandmother's house. But it was apparent they hadn't followed the route correctly. Both fillies seemed to be overly annoyed about that... Suddenly, a few leaves started to fall from the tree, they didn't notice. Then a faint rustling could be heard. But they didn't seem to respond to that. Then a loud rustling came from the top of the tree and a soft slithering sound emanated in the same direction. The fillies were too busy arguing to notice any of these strange sounds. A brown tail wove in and out of branches, watching the oblivious fillies below. It looked like it hadn't eaten in a long while, as its plump figure was starting to ware thin. So... You could imagine its delight when it saw two tired and annoyed little morsels who had decided to sit underneath the very tree it was resting in. It made its move. "But I wanted to take the other short-cut!", Silver spoon screeched. "What other short-cut?! This is the quickest one, I'm sure of it!", Diamond tiara screeched back. The snake wished it had hands so it could cover its ears. It thought it would silence them before it moved in fully, to make it easier... So, It slowly lowered its tail from the branch it was on, and touched it to the ground behind Diamond tiara's back hooves. "I know, but... You...", Silver spoon's argument faded as she observed the brown dangly rope thing behind Diamond. "Um... Diamond. What's that behind you?". It was now starting to slowly wrap around Diamond's hind legs. Diamond was frozen stiff with fear. "W-what... Is... T-touching.... M-me", she stammered. She hoped to dear Celestia it wasn't dirty. Suddenly, the coil around her hind legs tightened and she sprung into the air, carried upwards, upside-down, by brown rope-like string. Her tiara flew off of her head and clattered to the ground. "Diamond!", Silver called after her as she flew into the air with a screech. "Help me!", Diamond screamed as she reached her destination. She looked up to see a serpent, brown and thin, long enough to coil firmly around about four fillies at once, holding her upside down on a branch. She tried kicking the coil, and pulling it away with her fore hooves, but it was firmly stuck. It tightened to an uncomfortable level of tightness which told her she needed to stop doing that... The snake suddenly pushed its face into her's and she found... She couldn't take her eyes away from it. The serpent's eyes were pulsing with strange colours, willing her to be calm and relaxed. And so she was. She felt her muscles instantly relax and her mouth go numb. She mumbled as she hung there. She felt so calm... and... sleepy. The snake's eyes pulsed faster with more colours, forcing her eyes closed and putting her mind at ease. Her eyelids felt weightless and she was unable to keep them open for even a second. Soon she had drifted off into a deep sleep. Now the snake could have its meal. The snake opened its jaws, stretching them as to fit Diamond, and any other small mammal, inside. She was willingly slid into its gaping mouth. It pushed with its coiling tail to get her in. She was breathing slowly and deeply, sleeping soundly, and she didn't even notice as she was drenched in saliva and pushed onto a soft, fleshy surface. In fact, she thought she was lying on a bed, and so rolled over on to her side for a more comfortable position, making more saliva stick to her fur. The snake's mouth watered at the taste the filly brought and it didn't hesitate close its jaws, locking in more flavour and getting it one step closer to finishing its meal. Diamond tiara's vision instantly darkened, only making her feel calmer and lessening her chances of waking up. A pool of saliva started to form around the tongue, the snake was so enjoying the taste. Slowly, Diamond tiara slid off of the tongue and to the beginning of the throat. Then... "GULP!" A soft and slimy sound echoed through the snake's mouth and throat, but it was barely audible on the outside. Diamond tiara pulsed down its throat, carried by the saliva that had formed in the mouth. She slid down at what seemed to be a snail's pace, breaking moist saliva strands and getting coated in the clear liquid as she went. An unnaturally large bulge was all that could be seen of Diamond on the outside of the snake, a slow-moving bulge that would soon settle somewhere else... Diamond tiara curled up, the fleshy walls of the oesophagus pressing softly against her, making it harder to do so. She pulled her knees to her chest and buried her muzzle in her fore hooves. She then gently slid into the snake's stomach, which now bulged with her shape. The snake stuck out its tongue and panted in satisfaction. Diamond rolled onto her belly, splashing stomach acid all over her pink fur. Her muzzle was lying flat into a pool of acid and as she breathed, bubbles scattered into it. Silver spoon had been sitting, looking around and calling Diamond's name whilst all this was going on. She hadn't even thought to run. How convenient. //-------------------------------------------------------// A spoon for desert //-------------------------------------------------------// A spoon for desert "D-diamond? T-this isn't funny.... If it's a joke...". Silver's voice shook with imminent fear. What had happened to her friend? She hadn't really liked her... But she didn't want her to get hurt. All that could be heard to confirm Diamond tiara's presence now, was a gurgling in the snake's stomach, which indicated digestion... Diamond was still laying on the silken pillow of flesh that was the stomach's bottom, unhurriedly wasting away. Burning bubbles tingled around the acid, creating a humid climate and heating the damp pool, starting to slowly wear away Diamond's fur. Despite this, she still stayed in a deep, entranced sleep. The snake bulged with her shape, but that didn't affect the rate or noise of its slithering. It came down from the tree, right behind Silver spoon... "Hm?". She turned around as she had heard a noise. She squealed in terror as she saw the snake. She tried to run, but the snake had already coiled its tail around her middle, slightly squishing into it for security. She struggled and kicked wildly, noticing the bulge in its stomach. "Diamond!", she cried in shock. She couldn't believe it had eaten her! She struggled harder, tears running down her cheeks.The snake was not going to waste any more time. He wasn't going to let his desert get away... It hissed as it calmly put its face up to her's. Its eyes began to pulse and Silver stopped crying. She was entranced by the pulsing circles that begged her to be calm... To stop struggling. They meant the promise of peace. Her eyelids dropped half-way across her eyes and she smiled, relaxing. She let her head fall against her shoulder as she blinked slowly and watched the pretty, rhythmic, circles. She didn't even notice her glasses fall from her face. The snake gradually brought Silver closer to it. When she was an inch away... It stuck out its long forked tongue and licked her. Slowly, from the bottom of her neck to the top of her cheek, leaving a dripping line of saliva in its wake. Silver giggled as the tongue slid over her face. The snake was tasting her. She tasted just as good as the last filly. The snake licked its lips and drooled slightly as she pulled the drowsy filly closer. It stretched its mouth open and loosened its grip on the her. Silver stared into its open jaws calmly and practically climbed into them as soon as her head entered. She thought it looked like the perfect bed to rest on... She was so tired. The snake gurgled in surprise and delight as the filly excepted her fate without question. Silver spoon hugged the snake's tongue and rolled into a comfortable position. She was absolutely drenched in saliva. But she didn't seem to mind. She even nuzzled the tongue, getting more saliva on her lips and muzzle. The snake didn't bother to close its mouth this time, and just simply tilted its head back. Waited for the filly to slide into position then... "Squish!" Saliva, along with the pulsing muscles of the snake's oesophagus, made a loud, sickly squishing sound. Silver spoon was now asleep, and was limp as the throat sluggishly carried her downwards. She lay in a flat position, her limbs forced together by the slimy, pressing walls. Saliva now fully coated her, hardly any of her fur could be seen clearly, because of the slippery ooze that now surrounded her. She sighed contently as she slid into the stomach. She was placed neatly next to Diamond tiara, but was asleep, and so couldn't see her. The snake hung out its tongue again, in bliss and lay itself comfortably down on the branch it was sat on. It yawned and smiled, patting the bulge in its stomach with its tail. It slowly drifted off to sleep, its tail hanging carelessly down beneath the branch. The two fillies smiled and yawned in their new homes as well, the only difference was they were already asleep... And were soon to be moving from their resting place. Which, the snake had no intention of doing itself. The sun went down a few hours later, making way for a shining moon that hung in the sky, accompanied by dazzling stars. The snake was still sat contentedly up on its branch asleep, and Diamond tiara and Silver spoon's parents were walking around the forest, looking for them. Little did they know that their little fillies had new homes. And they would never see them again. Author's Note This is another little short-fic I've been toiling at for a while. It's been from place to place and I've finally finished it and implanted it to a site. Nothing special, just a little fic I started a while back. Hope you enjoy! I have a big, book-like fic coming up, so don't get too sceptical about these little things :moustache: https://static.fimfiction.net/images/emoticons/moustache.png
