Sylvia rolled off the boulder she was curled up on with a lazy thud. She let out a groggy sigh and muttered to herself as she reluctantly crawled forward, pulling the rest of her body behind her. She hadn't seen anyone else since last night; she hadn't eaten either, and the sun was listing off to the other end of the sky.
"Aaugh! Dammit, it's gonna get cold soon. Where is everyone?"
No one answered her of course. No one was around to do so. She gave up on anyone returning, and heaved herself up. She straightened her back and stretched, yawning; dust and pebbles fell off of her. She never wore anything during her outdoor naps. It'd defeat half the purpose: to tan her otherwise pale skin.
Sylvia set out past the bounds of her village toward the nearby mountain range hunting grounds. She pushed her hair out of her eyes and absentmindedly flung it back; her straight brown hair fell loosely over her shoulder blades. She squinted into the sun, flecks of gold caught the orange, lowering light in her otherwise hazel eyes.
The wind brushed over her bare back, and she shivered; goosebumps ran all the way down her arms. Sylvia couldn't stand the cold very long, it made her feel even more sluggish than before. As she pushed through the brush towards the base of the mountains, she froze. Footsteps, a jostling pack. An assault rifle swaying and thumping against a leg. She got close to the clearing and hid in the bushes.
One man. Thank god it was only one of them. Now she knew why no one was around- damned blue bastards, she could only hope they got away in time. But then why was she left alone? Her mind began to race with possibilities and answers to questions she hadn't even asked yet. Before she made herself too dizzy, she cleared her head and decided to get the answers herself. She knew she'd have to find out from him.
She straightened up enough for her upper body to be visible above the brush, and wrapped her arms over her chest, rather ineffectively.
"M-mister? Sir?" she called to him as he passed in front of her.
He stopped in his tracks and turned towards Sylvia. It took him a moment to process what he saw: a shivering beautiful woman, stark naked, full breasts nearly spilling out over her arms.
"Mister, d-do you have a coat in that pa-pack of yours? I'm freezing..."
Without thinking, he started to step towards her. Her voice sounded strangely clean and clear. She wasn't very loud, but she was all his ears could notice. He locked eyes with her, and sealed his fate.
"Will you put that gun down first? It's making me terribly afraid," she cooed at him. He felt a dulled sense of shock- he recoiled at the idea of disarming himself, but he suddenly found himself placing his gun and pack behind him.
"Oh, thank you so much sir-"
Once he was close enough, she shot her tail out at his feet, coiling up his legs and torso.
"Lamia..." Was all the man could manage to whisper. He was paralyzed with fear, kept immobile by Sylvia's crushing tail. She pulled him away from the clearing, and brought him up to her eye level.
Determination and anger shone in her eyes. She relaxed a little pressure from his chest, and he desperately gasped for air.
