[There's the sound of shuffling of feet when the feed opens, showing a tired, but still alive, Terezi. She's exhausted, having fought for five days without enough sleep or food to keep herself going in top shape. She's a good distance away from any familiar surroundings, running along the road and carefully avoiding the skeletal hands that try to reach her from the ground.
But that's not the only thing lurking in the darkness. She can hear it, smell it, and even though she's tired, she can't give up now.
A large serpent rears its ugly head from the nearby trees, smashing into the pavement just as Terezi jumps away. It roars, chasing after her, while she dodges left and right, trying to gain the upper hand by getting to a higher location. But there's no higher spots around here, just the tops of trees.
Figuring that's the best she has, she hops into one, losing the snake as it rumbles past, searching for her. It goes quiet for a few moments, the beast looking back and forth, tail agitated that it can smell her, but can't locate her. She's obscure for the most part, until she makes a move, leaping from the highest branch she can find. From there, she aims herself straight for the snake's neck, cane reworking into nunchucks to wrap around-
But the serpent sees her, coils moving to slap her out of the air and wrap around her before she can resist. Her lower torso is completely covered in snake scales, and she falls uselessly to the ground, hand outstretching for her cane, which has fallen just out of reach. Seeing this, the creature wraps itself around her until only her hand is visible, stretching, reaching, for her weapon, her one escape.
They squeeze, tighten, strangle. Choke on the very air she wants to hold onto. Terezi is trying, trying, struggling to breathe and free herself, buried under the pressure and suffocating. She wants to scream, but her lungs hurt too much to even make a peep. Her arm shakes in pain and ferocity, going for the nearby object, but to no avail. Seconds later, while no sound emits, a sickeningly loud CRACK is heard over the PORTAL, before that arm goes limp, teal blood oozing out between the coils.
Then, the snake sees the nearby communicator, and thinking it's something else to attack- promptly lunges at it, cutting out the feed.]
[[No responses from Terezi. ;; Feel free to do reactions, however.]]
