The deep stretch of forest was alive with the sound of birds, occasional soft patter from little woodland creatures and slithering from snakes prowling around. It was tranquil and peaceful, far from the noisy campground that had been set up and as such it was generally rather peaceful save for the occasional hiker trudging through the woods. That is, save for a lone, solitary tent where a pegasus stallion sat by a fire all on his lonesome.
Twinwing sighed, sitting back on his haunches as he fumbled with the little box of matches. A clump of snapped and burnt out matches had been dumped inside the little fire pit he’d managed to assemble away from his tent. As Twin snapped the final of the one-hundred match box he flopped fully onto his back with a groan, holding a hoof to his snow-white face as his double blue and green tipped wings flopped open behind him to avoid being cramped against his back.
“Come on, I got the tent up no sweat but I can’t get some matches to strike? Gah, screw it, I’ll get a regular lighter from the camp office.” Twin grumbled throwing the box into the fire, causing the neatly stacked wood to fall over, Twin shouting in frustration for a second time, causing nearby birds to scatter in surprise, before rolling over to climb back up “Camping; bad idea. Is it specifically designed to make you miserable? I should have just booked in at a hotel, instead of having to sleep on inflatable sandpaper.” Twin said out loud to himself as he began making his way towards the main campground, partially glad he’d chosen to assemble his tent so far off from everypony else so they couldn’t see his tantrum.
“What a loud little pony,” A voice mumbled from the trees above the tent, the branches shifting downward from a large weight moving amongst them “Sssscared away all of my potential mealssss… guessssssss he’ll have to pay ‘rent’ for that.” The voice cooed chuckling.
Twin brushed pebbles and dirt out of his orange and blue mane as he approached the campground, trying to look at least decent when he reached the office. Inside, a single pony sat behind a desk waiting for departures and arrivals, a little shop with the basics nestled inside. Twinwing stepped inside glancing around until he found a pair of sealed lighters right on the desk itself, taking them off and setting them down, trying his best not to look embarrassed about his poor fire-starting capabilities. Twin passed over the two bits and quickly left the office before the receptionist could question him at all, passing the little sign of the park ‘Camp Cobra’ which had a picture of several snakes curled around a pony.
The camp was appropriately named, as many of the scaly guys were slithering around the site, though more constrictors as apposed to the actual snake the camp was named after. It probably just sounded catchier. The snakes were oddly tame, with ponies walking amongst them effortlessly, and some sneaking into tents for warmth. Twin vaguely wondered how it’d feel to snuggle up with a snake for the night. Not one to shy from a new experience, Twin made a mental note to find a good sized one to share the night with.
Back at his own site, Twin sat down by the fire, working to unpack the lighters from their plastic lining, which proved awkward “Come on, I’m not going back for scissors… I don’t want to be cold tonight!” Twin said as if hoping the package might respond to his pleas.
“Well,” Twin yipped at the sound, throwing the lighters into the air where they fell to the ground with a soft thud on the mud and grass “There are many ways to stay warm here.” A voice said softly from the treetops, Twin looked around a little frantically.
“Who’s there?” He asked.
“Oh, you can call me Mylissa, I live in the woods around the camp… normally ponies like you stay over in the camp itself and don’t visit me. It’s nice you’ve decided to keep me company for the night, it can be very lonely and boring sometimes.” Mylissa said, Twin now certain she was getting closer.
“You live here? Permanently?” Twin asked then felt a cold touch on his hot neck, he moved forward away form the coldness, turning to face it, finding a green snake tail tip floating in the air before him.
“Indeed,” Mylissa hummed slithering out of the bushes to join her tail tip, letting it hook around her neck and slither down, hanging low like a giant scarf, a pair of slitted emerald green eyes watching Twin as a fang filled smile greeted him. Twin took another step back as Mylissa’s serpent body continued to glide out of the trees, longer and longer, thicker and thicker to just over a pony’s width “This is my forest, after all.” Mylissa.
Twin chuckled fearfully “Is it? I-I didn’t know. I’m sorry I’ll leave you home now.” Twin said making to turn away before Mylissa’s tail snapped forward, wrapping around his neck and grabbing his cheek.
“Nonsense, I don’t mind guests, or I’d have taken care of that camp by now,” Mylissa curled her legs around the back of her cobra hood, resting them up against her ‘scarf’ casually as she inspected Twin, who was currently doing the same, though in a more flabbergasted and terrified way.
Mylissa possessed an upper body similar to that of a dark green coloured Earth pony, however she had no mane, instead a cobra like hood grew out in its place, the flaps open at the sides of her face to reveal underbelly like scales, her nose seemed to have three tiny little nostrils on each side instead of one like a normal pony, her eyes had a slit down them and her mouth had a set of fangs similar to snakes for venom or latching onto food. Her body also seemed to be covered in scales instead of fur, making her body appear glossy and shiny, exotically pleasant to look at. She was also wearing a golden tiara with a ruby set in the front between her pony ears with an arrow head tip dangling bellow, the lowest points of his snake hood had two golden little chains that seemed to be like earrings for her, and two regular ring earrings in her actual ears. Her hood was the same colour as her body, but with a few lighter green hoops over it like a snake pattern, and her cheeks had a pair of large brownish spots on them. As bizarre as her upper body appearance was, it paled to that of Mylissa’s lower half, which, instead of hind legs and a tail, gracefully and seamlessly flowed into a giant serpent’s tail, growing thicker than Twin’s body rather rapidly. It was dark green like Mylissa’s body, with dark brown spots running along the top of her body down to her tail tip, her underbelly the same colour as the scales on her hood a soft olive colour.
Mylissa smiled “Like it?” She asked as Twin snapped his gaze back up quickly since he’d been admiring Mylissa’s long length.
“Er-yeah, looks very pretty.” Twin said glancing away.
“You know what would really offset my colours though? Some nice soothing white.” Mylissa grinned and Twin yipped.
Twin reared up on his hind legs as they were grabbed from under him by Mylissa’s exploring tail, which looped easily around them snapping them together. Twin flung his forelegs out to try and maintain some balanced as Mylissa gave a tug, tightening her grip as she looped around him, preparing to climb higher.
“H-hay, stop, hang on! This is a little more than I’d like!” Twin said as Mylissa slid up to him, grabbing his front legs and locking them down to his sides, stunning Twin with her sheer strength. Twin had wrestled with an Earth pony before but they had nothing on Mylissa.
“Now don’t be so hasty to say so,” Mylissa said letting go as her tail looped over Twin’s legs, pinning them down as the thick meaty coils continued upward, growing rapidly thicker as they mushed their muscular fat against Twin’s double wings and Twin’s knees disappeared inside green and brown coloured loops of scales “I think you might find yourself enjoying it after a while.” Mylissa said as her tail began to loop around Twin’s neck giving a tight tug, Twin turning his head up to stop the coils from pinching his chin.
“Hay, don’t look away from me.” Mylissa said lifting Twin into the air, turning his head towards the ground “There, eye contact is important.” Mylissa said with a soft carefree laugh.
Twin took a little gasp of breath “Okay, nice, lovely… enjoyed it, can I go, please?” Twin asked as Mylissa slithered over to his tent, returning with one of his pillows which she dumped on the floor “Hay it’ll be all covered in mud now!” Twin grumbled.
“Oh, sorry… I guess you’ll need another place to rest your head.” Mylissa said casually laying the portion of her tail where her rump might have been on the pillow whilst her back rested on the forest floor “Mmmm, you look perfect like that. My soft, yet strong coils squeezing and gripping you… but I’m not liking this rapid beating in your neck. No, such fear isn’t healthy, let’s calm you down, okay?” Mylissa said.
“Yeah, okay. Let me go and I’ll be perfectly calm.” Twin said with a slight hint of sarcasm and annoyance.
Mylissa laughed “Now don’t be rude when you’re a guest,” she said booping his nose with her hoof, causing him to scrunch up his face a little in response “Just ‘relax’ and I promise things will clear up between us.” Mylissa’s smile widened as she blinked her eyes.
Twin turned his head towards his tent “Things feel pretty clear right now, thank you Mylissa.” He said trying to wriggle free.
“I thought I told you eye contact is important.” Mylissa said holding Twin’s cheek to turn his gaze back.
Twin opened his mouth to speak then paused. Mylissa’s eyes had changed from slitted to… to rings of light green and olive, pulsing over and over, mismatch between the two colours in both eyes. Twin’s mouth hung open as he looked, Mylissa shifting him around in the air casually to get comfy below Twin as her tail squeezed around rubbing all around his helpless body.
Twin felt an odd sensation in his head, a blanketing calmness resting upon his mind, his thoughts trying to wriggle out to be heard from beneath the comforting layer “Wha…what’s haaaaaaaaa-!” Twin gulped as Mylissa tightened her tip on his neck, tugging her tail tip free and gently caressing the top of Twin’s mane.
“What’s happening? Nothing, Twin, I’m just helping you get comfortable in my presence.” Mylissa said patting his cheek “What kind of host would I be if I let you leave on such bad terms. And having to stay in the cold? No… no you can stay… very… very close with me tonight.” Mylissa said as Twin’s mouth turned up.
“Thah-thanks buh-but I’ll pass, puh-please,” Twin said as his eyes dilated, filling with rings like Mylissa’s, the stallion’s struggles halting “Stop this… I don’t… I don’t know…”
“How good it feels?” Mylissa asked “Don’t worry I’ll show you very soon.” She promised, once again rubbing Twin’s body but now her grip felt soothing and comforting against his body, melting away his tension and strain.
“Nuh… no, wait… please…” Twin said as his smile tugged up higher on his face, the coils felt so comfy and strong, rubbing all over his body and wearing him away bit by bit. Mylissa’s eyes were endless pools of those pretty rings, encompassing his brain with their sweet numbing and yet sensitive hold.
“Why, you look so happy, it must feel wonderful, why do you want to deny yourself something so good?” Mylissa asked as a bead of sweat ran down Twin’s head from the strain of thinking, trying to cling on to the snapping threads of his free will “Just let go, give in… let my eyes overwhelm your mind… lower the drawbridge of your mind and allow me in… give in… give in.” Mylissa whispered and Twin very suddenly became rigid, his body tensing up like a board as his mouth closed and his eyes opened up wide with rings flashing through them like a blur “There you see, it feels wonderful, right?” Twin gave a dumb nod, like a bobble head rocking about “Glad you understand that now, you were so stressed before, your mind so loaded down with thoughts and fears… they’re all gone now though.” Mylissa said with a grin.
“Thank you.” Twin said in soft monotone as Mylissa began to slowly twist Twin around and around in her grip, inspecting her newest prize.
“Cute,” She commented once Twin had spun back around to face Mylissa “Why don’t we get you in bed, you can warm up my coils whilst I squeeze you nice and tight, no need for any sleeping bag when you’re my friend.” Mylissa said and Twin didn’t respond, aside from blinking once, but that was probably all his brain could manage in its current condition.
Mylissa slithered over to the set-up tent and ducked inside. It was a single room, with an inflatable mattress squeezed inside with a sleeping bag on top and a few pillows on the other side. Mylissa slithered in curling up atop the bed as she piled her tail over the top, setting Twin down in the middle as she began to cover him up with thicker coils so only his head was visible to the outside world, his body hidden by a pile of mismatch coils forming a haphazard sleeping bag.
“There, nice and cosy, safe and sound!” Mylissa said prodding her hoof to Twin’s nose with a carefree giggle.
“Hmmm, you feel so nice and warm, do you mind if I get a little closer?” Mylissa asked, using her coils to rub Twin’s head back and forth a little to make it appear he was shaking his head “Wonderful!” Mylissa said as she slithered to the bottom of Twin’s cocoon.
Twin looked down as the bundle of coils surrounding him lifted up around the bottom of his legs, something smooth and scaly running up his body until Mylissa appeared in front of him, in her own coils, her body pressing against his as her coils closed in once more.
“Close and cosy… now… get some sleep.” Mylissa cooed softly as her eyes once again began to twist into rings of colour, Twin sinking deeper into her spell, deeper into her coils… her control “We’ll enjoy a nice meat-based breakfast tomorrow… MY treat!” Mylissa said with a soft laugh as Twin looked delighted at the prospect.
