A stream of flames poured directly onto the spit snake's face, but once again, the only thing it did was close the snake's eyes. It didn't need them to ram straight into Alec. It just had to continue straight ahead.
After all, the light shining brightly even through its closed eyelids was more than enough to guide its way.
When that wasn't enough, and when it was close enough, however, something else latched onto another of its senses.
Alec threw himself to the side just in time to avoid the snake's massive body.
The snake noticed the flames dissipating and turned around without missing a beat.
"Damn it!" Alec cursed. He thought that the snake would have lost him with that.
The snake's split tongue shot out and flickered back and forth as it tasted the air to catch Alec's traces.
Its eyes weren't the snake's only tools to find prey. And for some reason, Alec smelled great to the snake.
