Cicada opened her eyes. “Ah, yeah! It’s a-“ she looked down at the plant’s tendrils wrapped around her talons. “- a sundew. A really really big sundew. Ohhh, boy.”
She tried to lift her right talon, but the plant seemed to pull towards itself. “Ehhggh..” Cicada groaned as her claws stuck together messily. “I HATE being sticky.” She moaned.
“You- I- no, wait, don’t..” She stammered, watching helplessly as a vine slowly reached for her hind legs. It pulled at her foot, and she slipped backwards. “OW!” She cried, her back hitting the tree branch with a thump before she slipped down and plummeted towards the ground.
The hapless HiveWing squeezed her eyes shut, sure that she was going to hit the forest floor, but nothing happened.
Instead, she looked awkwardly up to find her limbs tangled in the vines of the plant that was pulling her up. “Oh my gosh, my stomach feels weird.” She groaned. Looking at her talons as the blood rushed to her head, she slid out a stinger and messily managed to cut her right talon free.
Now she was dangling sideways. She lifted her wings to try and fly away from the sundew, but only two moved.
She looked back up. “Dang it!” She shouted angrily, seeing her left two wings stuck on more vines.
