Last Moments: Trapped

The snakes slithered over me; I held my breath in hopes that they ignored me. A big snake started wrapping itself around my waist. Wrapping over and over again then resting its head right against my throat. I gasped; the snake tightened around me. One twisted around my arm more came towards my ankles and wrists. I tried to pull away as they got closer but the ropes kept me from pulling away. The snakes reached me, one reared up and lunged at my wrist. I shut my eyes and waited for a sharp jab and the poison, it never came. Instead the pulling on my wrist from the shackle disappeared. Then the pulling on my other wrist and my ankles also disappeared. I opened my eyes. The snakes were looking at me, their beady eyes looking at me with curiosity. The one around my waist disentangled itself from me and started slithering out of the clearing, then stopped and looked at me when I didn’t follow. I heard the crunch of leaves, the hunters were coming back, I looked at the snake and then followed it.
