Axel locked gazes with the creature, his eyes unblinking, breath caught in his throat, his pulse racing.
The snake blinked its large eyes, a dark pupil the only contrast to its completely white body, it tilted its head, looking at Axel, a hint of curiosity in its eye.
The next second it turned into a blur, catching Axel off guard, it wrapped itself around his neck, like a scarf or a hanging rope, its face dangerously close to his, its tongue flickering.
Then it rubbed its head against Axel's cheek, the moist and smooth skin broke him out of his reverie, his eyes tracing the snake as rubbed against his cheek, eyes closed, almost like it was fond of him.
But he wasn't having it, his hands snapped up, one held the snakes head, while the other held it's body around his neck, trying to pry it off.
Axel hissed in pain as he pulled, it was like the snake was glued to his skin, trying to pull it off was like trying to pull off his own skin.
