Chương 2: First Meal
She was monstrously huge!
Even I cannot fathom how tall my mother will become if she stands up on the surface. She could at least reach the sky at this point—I can't even see the end of her body.
Is she gonna eat me like her kids?
She suddenly moved like how normal snakes do when she rotated and stood upwards as she looked straight at me. Her green-tainted eyes glowed in the darkness of the cave as it got bigger the closer she gets to me.
She looks scary, but what is this feeling entering me?
Her head was bigger than an entire elephant as she gently touched her forehead with my body. She suddenly rubbed it little by little as her eyes closed, what is this? It felt like I was caressed by my mother when I was just a little boy. Why am I feeling this way?
She's supposed to be horrifying but why do I feel the need to be comforted this much? Why is she radiating that motherly feel? I was just panicking a second ago, so why?
"Mom, hug me more." I actually muttered unconsciously as I felt my tears leaving my eyes.
She opened her eyes as her head pulled back and looked at the other snakes that were leaving the room. Where are they going anyway? I looked back at my mother as she nodded her head, probably saying to follow them.
Wait, why? Will they eat me or something?
I felt a push on my back as I saw her tail trying to push shove me to the hole the others are going. There were a lot of holes, if I can count, maybe six? Three at each side.
Well, since mom wants to. I really can't deny it, right? Maybe she'll eat me for being a bad boy or something. I'm not taking the chance!
I was still on my egg poking out at that point when I tried to land on the ground. I was conscious of the whole thing about me messing me. A snake that doesn't know how to slither, my mother may see me as a defect and eat me, but if I don't move now it will all be the same.
It's now or never!
I jumped out of my egg as I hit my chin on the ground. It didn't hurt or anything, it was just like falling off your bed while sleeping. A sudden shock if you will. I just laid there on the ground as my mother observed me. I need to move!
Huh?
I don't know what is occurring but I seem to be able to move my body just fine. Is it because it was already placed in our genes on how to our spine? Now that you think about it, I was able to puncture the egg when I tried to move straight.
A miracle of life, per se! Haha!
Now, I should go with the others since I can move normally. I thought it would be hard but I just imagined myself going forward and the body did it instinctively, like how you don't need to focus on your feet every time you walk, but like any other newborns, I was still having a hard time.
It took me a couple of minutes until I finally saw the other snakes gathering. They seem to be eating as the others had a bulge on their body, clearly depicting something went inside them.
I've been hungry since I arrived here, I think I should join them—
What are those! Are those baby rodents?! Hell no, I'm not eating any of those, that's disgusting.
Mom, cook me something! Oh yeah, snakes aren't talented in the culinary arts—that means I'm dead. I'm dead if I don't eat those rodents, I feel like my stomach has a hole in it. I don't even know if this is my stomach or my anus. My body is just a straight line of flesh! Although this does feel like hunger.
I need to eat them, or I may be eaten when I'm dead. I don't wanna but the animal instinct to survive at any cost is stronger than my denial to eat.
I slipped by the gathering snakes, pushing them aside for me to slide into. I saw as piles of rodents where there as I gulped and looked at it, disgusted as—Oh my God it flinched! That's still alive!?
I don't wanna eat that, I don't wanna drink blood out of it either, but I can't resist the instincts. It's either this or die in a ditch!
I gulped as my inner thought screamed like it just looked at a ghost, closed my eyes, and opened my mouth as I struck at an unknown rodent. I can feel it in my mouth, tears came down as I forcefully gulp it down my stomach. I can feel it twitching inside of me as it went deeper inside my being.
I felt it! I tasted how bitter it is and I tried vomiting it down but my body loved it! Am I a rawist—a guy that enjoys raw food? Please, God of the heavens, I don't deserve any of this—now that you think about it, it does taste a little goo...
No, it doesn't!
My body and mind are fighting over this little ordeal! I don't know what's gonna happen anymore, I need to eat!!
I jumped down the pit of snake siblings as I joined in on the feast. If you look closely at me, I ate as tears came down my eyes one more time. I never felt this tortured and blessed before.
I was eating when I saw my siblings come back. I don't know how I know this but it feels like someone was calling me to come back—a pheromone? I don't smell it or anything, I just sense it.
I returned back to the room where my mother rested as I saw six snakes that were bigger than us. Maybe twice our size and had the same color as my mother. Mother stood still at what looks like our older siblings as she hissed.
The other snakes from the other holes came back as they gathered on the older siblings. I looked at my mother as she closed her eyes as she nodded, saying to follow which one I liked.
Further, as I talk with mother, the more I sense this tingling sensation in which I was able to understand her more. My first time, I wasn't able to sense it and mother needed to push me a little and after our "meal", I sensed it more. Now, this?
Telepathy? No, I don't think those exist here. Anyways, I just need to follow them, right?
