OPHIOPHAGUS - Snakedance's death

Instructions

Hello everyone! Firstly id like to say, thank you. Thank you for everyone who helped make snakedance the character she is today, she's one of my favorite oc's and i couldn't of had done it without yall <3 She has been getting old and elder rolls will probably kill her in a bit so why not do it now with the death ive been planning for her? End her with a bang. So this is the final chapter of Snakedance's life. Goodbye and Goodnight my baby. --------------------------------------------------- (TW: DEATH, GRIEF, SNAKES) The world still spins even after your gone doesn't it? And.. Snakedance had learnt it the hard way. From her first moon to her last few moons. This was the life of a loner she wanted hm? She chose to be this way. And now.. She's alone. Her family, gone. The love of her life, Poppybite. Gone. She- She didnt get to say one final goodbye. And she regretted it so.. So.. Much. The kit she raised from birth, Tempest. Oh.. She was so, so stupid and she let them die. Her baby. Tempest her pride and joy. Ripplepaw and Blessingpaw was.. Gone. She barely remembered their faces. They were just a blurry memory to her. And.. It was so hard to deal with. The pain, the suffering her family must've gone thru. And she blamed herself so so much. So, she had an escapism. Iris, a kittypet she met a few moons back. She thought of Fae like the daughter she never met. And her twolegs, or housefolk as Iris would call them were nice. They fed Snikki, gave her pets and were just overly sweet to her. Was she getting soft? Maybe, but she was becoming old and the constant movement and stress was not really good for her. And one day.. Iris gave faer's kits to Snakedance. And that hit HARD. Iris let Snikki name them too! - Although Iris named one of them Hawk which was.. Fair. Eventually Snakedance started coming around less and the twolegs started getting worried about her. She was just busy taking care of the kits but they couldnt understand unfortunetly. So the twoleg's tried keeping her but she scratched on the door before they realised being a housecat wasnt for her so they let her free. And that was the last time she saw them. A moon had passed by and Snikki went hunting, the kits were growing everyday and she could hardly keep up. Snakedance's paws were heavy with each step she took crunching down on the dewy grass. She didnt know it but a snake was nearby. Snakedance sniffed the dewy air, she had survived leafbare and had seen another newleaf. But it would be her last. Snikki hummed to herself, sniffing the air for any prey scents. Unbeknownst to her, the log she would step of had a snake nest nestled under it. "Hm.. No prey, i wonder why?" Snikki murmured, yawning. Then a snake slithered next to her and striked her, biting her shoulder. Snakedance's eyes widened in shock at the peircing pain of the brown snake's bite. She quicky bit it, causing it to fall off as she ran away. It felt like hours but it had been 15 minutes since the snake bit her. She panted, collapsing to her paws. "I- I cant breathe-" she whinced, fear in her tone. She hated snakes ironically. And if starclan thought they could be funnier, her demise was caused by one. "*Breathe Snikki, hold on for your kits." She thought, slightly panicking. "*Wait- My kits!-" She realized, they were left there all alone. No one to protect them. "*No, no, please forgive me my babies.*" "Im.. Still holding on.. My kits, dont be scared- I- am on by way, Ill be there soon.." She choked out. But the venom quickly put her body in paralysis. She blinked, the only thing right infront of her was a tree with a hollow carved out inside it. She was near Urchinclan too. This was the spot where she was found as a kit. It was almost bittersweet actually. After an hour or so of laying there Snakedance felt her eyes get heavy and she took her last breath, Snakedance was gone. She never got back to her kits.
