Her legs gave out beneath her in shock and her hands covered her face. 

The snake turned away from her and to Argoyle.

It grabbed him.

He has the flashlight, too.

She brought her knees to her chest and tried- and failed- to calm down.

Argoyle turns on the flashlight and shines it in the snakes face "And you think I didn't just bring you two fresh people?"

Actually, he didn't. It had been purely luck that he was with anyone else.

It hissed menacingly, waiting to see if he had anything else actually worthwhile to say.

She flinched at the hiss. Even if it wasn’t aimed at her, it was terrifying.

"The two of us can have a much better cover story than one person! Doesn't it seem suspicious to be "the sole survivor?" They'll know, she's working with you, and They'll never trust her!"

She was too terrified to protest his claim.

That depended on everyone else knowing who had died and who Marie had been with, actually.

And they didn't need to trust her, as long as she knew where they were.

It lunged forwards suddenly, knocking the flashlight out of Argoyle's grasp and to the floor.

Its jaws came down, crushing and killing him instantly.

She curled tightly into herself, squeezing her eyes shut and trying to stop crying.

It quickly and quietly finished eating Argoyle, then poked Marie on the shoulder gently.

This one did seem . . . unfortunately fragile.

Oh well. As long as she was smarter.

She flinched, but slowly lifted her head to make eye contact. She was shaking.

It was still pitch-black, but fin-like protrusions on the snake's head unfolded and started glowing.

Marie could see the extent of the snake now, pearlescent white scales and milky eyes staring back at her. Pale pink veins were visible between the scales, and those started glowing as well.

It stared at her intensely.

She swallowed and breathed through her mouth. Slowly, scaredly, she broke eye contact and looked down, ceding authority to the snake.

It tilted her chin up with its tail, examining her for a few more seconds.

There was a sudden, mounding pressure in her head, and then everything went black.

A few minutes later, the watches buzzed.

Her eyes opened. They were swollen, puffy from tears. The snake was gone  she didn’t know whether that was a good thing or a bad thing.

How long had she been out? She lifted her watch. Really? Just a few minutes? That felt impossible. 

She pushed herself up. Her whole body felt sore, probably from all the adrenaline of that encounter. There was a dull throbbing at the back of her head, where there had been pressure before she’d passed out. 

She made herself stand, guilt and the realization of what she’d done overwhelming her. But she couldn’t stop it now, it was too late. The deal was made. She was the snake’s. 

Slowly, she started to move. She needed to find people if she wanted the snake to let her live. She had bargained for her life, but the cost was too much to bear. 

Everyone.. I’m sorry.

You said you were waiting for your character to die, do you just want to say Marie found you, and the next time Glass's snake comes out it eats you?
