The fabric of her dress swirled around her. As she danced in the sun, the sun's bright rays reflecting off her golden blonde hair making it shine and cascade down her shoulders in soft waves, a great contrast to her rather fair complexion and molten gold eyes that shone with excitement and pure happiness. How she loved the sky and beauty and light of day. The sun warming her skin and making her feel at peace, as if she belonged.
Slithering against the forest floor the serpent gained speed as it flicked its tongue out at random to sense its victim. Closer and closer the serpent gained; till it seen its target, clear view an easy hunt, the golden little hawk.
Laughter escaped from her throat as she continued to dance, her dance of happiness and praise. Unknowingly helping her future to move along, not knowing after this day she would never be the same. Her laughter stopping when she sensed something, or rather someone nearby, gathering her skirts around her, the shades of the golden, warm sun, feathers tingling on the back of her neck she hesitated and looked around.
Their eyes met at that moment. The cold, loathsome emerald eyes of the lowly serpent met hers, and for that moment she was transfixed, it attacked. Striking the girl with such force the little girl stumbled back and let out a startled cry. The bite present on her right wrist was made and present, now in the matter of seconds the poison would escape and run through her veins till it reached her heart and then she would be no more…the serpent retreated with a grace and speed that was natural to its kind, a mix of panic and excitement helped ease it along. The job was done. Now it was time to sit back and see the results.
