The light pittering of my feet quietly echoed through the cave as I approached the exit, humming to myself. I glanced at the web covered rocks, the home I had worked so hard on a death trap for anyone but myself. I laughed quietly as the semi-sticky webs my feet walked across squished and stretched, the entire color of the cave having gone from it’s original dark color, to a maze of white. I walked outside, my eyes twisting to the lengthy set of individual strings tied to a tree outside. I stared at them silently.

“Any unlucky souls today?” I questioned aloud. A few moments later the far left string shook. I smiled, my tongue running across my teeth, the fangs in my mouth already dripping with venom as it hotly sizzled on my tongue, causing me to giggle quietly. I followed the string deeper into the forest until I heard a voice.

“God damn it…” A male voice growled. “Stormy go on ahead try to get someone out here… My… what the hell…”

I felt my lips grin wide as I approached slowly, spiraling up one of the nearby trees as I spotted the web from above. As I drew closer I saw the widebrimmed hat and the concealing clothing he had on, the thing that further drew my attention was the almost hidden backpack he was wearing.

I watched them struggle in his attempts to free his leg just as a large dog ran away from him. I grabbed a pine cone from the tree, lobbing it at the bush behind the man.

The man snapped around to investigate the sound for a moment before his eyes darted around nervously.

I laughed, my gentle feminine voice echoing through the trees.

“Who’s there?” He questioned, his hand moving down to his hip.

“My my, someone is on edge.” I chimed in, silently observing the man.

The man looked all around him as if he was trying to spot me. He growled something that I could just barely hear.

I moved above the trees until I was just above him, weaving a web as I quietly lowered myself above him.

“Where… are you…” He mumbled quietly.

I set myself down beside him, just out of view as I approached, wrapping my arms around him. “You look tasty…” I whispered.

He stiffened up and his eyes widened.

“Shhh…” I said calmly, the lengthy and sharpened finger nails on my hands near his eyes as I caressed his cheek.

“What are… you…” He mumbled.

“I think I should be asking that…” I hummed, my head resting on his shoulder, giving him the first view of my smooth, deathly pale white skin and silky black hair running down my back.

His off colored beak opened up slowly, “Wo… I… I’m a gryphon.” He mumbled as he stared at me.

“I’ve never seen a gryphon before.” I said softly, gently taking his hat off and giggling as I placed it on my head.

I saw that the feathers on his head had a silver color. “I’ve never seen…” He mumbled.

I leaned closer, gazing directly into his amber eyes as he stared back into my sky blue ones. “Do gryphons have names?” I inquired playfully, my hand sliding up and having my fingers tease along his chest as I slipped it under the collar of his coat.

“Sharp Wing.” He stammered.

“Mmm what a fitting name, with those strong, feathered masts you use to fly. You must be a stud.” I cooed, kissing his neck.

“I… Try…” He laughed shakily.

Two of my legs began silently weaving a small web, wrapping it gently around his feet and connecting them together. “Oh I can tell… you must be very popular.” I said. “So muscular, and those colors. Certainly your parents are proud.”

He silently stared at me and I could see the red through his feathers.

“Oh you’re so cute… I’m sorry if I’m making you uncomfortable. Maybe I should just… go.” I whispered, my breath running onto his face.

“No don’t!” He said quickly.

“Shh shh…” I said, pushing a finger to his lips. “I’m not going anywhere.” I slid my hand down to his chest and tightening the hug slightly. “I was so lonely until you came along.”

“W… Why?” He asked, his tone going shocked.

“Everyone is scared of me. I’m so sorry if I have disturbed you with my… ugly face.” I said, putting on a saddened face. “You’re not going to leave me like the others are you?”

“No… No of course not… I can’t leave a beautiful woman out here… all alone…” He stammered.

“You aren’t turned off by my appearance? Oh you’re so kind… Thank you so much…” I said, pressing my face into his neck.

“Don’t mention it.” He said.

“Oh my… I’m so rude. My name is Ashanti.” I said softly as I kissed his neck.

“It’s… nice to meet you Ashanti…” He said, shivering slightly.

“Sharp…” I whispered, breathing slightly faster as I slid my hand down towards his crotch.

He stiffened up slightly as he stared at me.

I turned his head slightly more, hovering my lips just in front of his. “Touch me…” I whispered in an almost needing tone.

His hands slid to my back as he wrapped his arms around me. “Let me help you…” I said as two of my legs started stretching the web that his foot was caught in open.

“Wait… what are y-” His words were caught in his throat as he looked down to see my spider half. I kissed him the next moment, not surrendering my gentle touch.

He started struggling as he tried to push me away. My grip on him tightened as I held him in the kiss.

He violently shoved me off and tried to run only to fall flat on his face.

“Oh no! My hero is injured.” I said, slowly walking towards him. “Oh let me ease your wounds brave traveler…” I laughed playfully.

He started to crawl away.

I crawled behind him, putting a leg between. The web around his feet caught on my leg, preventing him from crawling further.

He dug his hands into the dirt before quickly turning and throwing it right at my face. I let out an ear piercing scream as the dirt made contact with my eyes, stumbling backwards and covering my face.

“God damn it… stupid peice of shit…” I heard him growl.

I gritted my teeth, my fang obvious as my face shifted slightly, two more sets of eyes appearing next to my blinded ones. As my vision returned I saw him staring up at me wide eyed as my beady black orbs glared down at him.

He started to shake slightly as he brought two finger up to his mouth and whistled loudly. I marched towards him. “Oh brave traveler.” I growled angrily.

He shrunk back as he rubbed his back against the ground.

I was about to lunge at him when I was tackled by something. Twisting around in time to save a bite to my neck as I saw the dog on top of me bite down onto my arm, blood dripping down my immediately. I started screaming, all my legs kicking and beating at the large dog, almost the same size as the man.

The dog growled viciously as it bit down on one of my legs. It quickly let go and leaped off of me, it’s back paws slamming into my stomach as it landed and rushed over to the man.

A small trickle of blood ran down one of my eyes as I glared at the two, clutching my wounded arm tightly.

The dog tore at the webs on the man’s legs and ripped them to shreds.

The man scrambled to his feet and he pulled a hand crossbow out of his backpack. I rushed up one of the trees, scrambling across several before stopping, glancing down at the two from my new position.

The man waved his dog on and the two of them quickly ran away from where they had last seen me. I followed them atop the trees for about half a mile before they slowed. I smirked as I grabbed another pine cone, lowering myself silently from above. I raised my arm and threw the pine cone far into a nearby bush.

He snapped right to it and remained motionless. My smirk grew, baring my teeth as I lowered myself behind the two, my teeth growing ever closer to his neck.

He relaxed before the end of his crossbow was pointed right at my face. I froze, staring blankly ahead as I waited for him to pull the trigger.

He grabbed me with his other hand and tore me down to the ground in front of him. I stared up at him wide eyed and confused.

His dog pressed down on me as if holding me to the ground.

Before I could react he put tape over my mouth.

“There…” He said.

I looked between him and his dog, a feeling of calmness hitting me as I realized he wasn’t going to kill me, relaxing and letting them do whatever.

He pulled some rope off of his backpack and tied my hands behind my back before he tied all of my legs together.

The man looked up at the sky, “Damn it we’re still too far from town…” He grumbled.

The dog barked loudly.

“Yeah yeah… I know.” He sighed. He looked back down at me for a moment. “Hm…” He shrugged as he threw his backpack onto the ground and pulled a sleeping bag out from it.

“Mph…” I grunted.

He glanced back at me, “Be quiet.” He ordered as he laid out his bag.

“MMPH!” I grunted again. As he looked, I motioned towards my wounded arm that was still bleeding.

He sighed before he took a bandage out of his bag and walked back over to me. He slowly bandaged up my arm as if taking his time to make sure it was done right.

“Mm… Mph…” I mumbled, staring at him with as much of a thankful look as I could give.

“This is going to hurt.” He said.

“MphAHHH!” I screamed as he tore the tape off.

He threw the tape off to the side and walked back to his sleeping bag. “Very rude. You don’t tape a woman’s mouth shut, the glue dries your lips out. I could chap.” I chuckled.

“You tried to kill me.” He said.

“Yes, but you taped my mouth shut. I’m the victim here.” I said.

He rolled his eyes and climbed into his sleeping bag.

“Don’t ignore me, I’m thirsty.” I stated.

“Oh?” He asked. “Here let me get some water for you from my empty canteen.”

“Oh you’re one of those people, joy.” I joked.

“What’s that supposed to mean?” He questioned, rolling over and staring at me.

“You know my eyes are hurting. Throwing dirt is very rude.” I said as my normal, non-spider eyes were still closed tightly.

He sighed and slipped out of his sleeping bag. He then fidgeted around in his bag.

I waited patiently, staring at him and the bag.

He pulled out a canteen and looked inside. “Nn…” He mumbled. He sighed and stood up, walking over to me. “Eyes open.” He said.

My closed eyes twitched as I held them open reluctantly.

He dumped a little water on my eyes washing them out. I opened my mouth and he yanked his hand back. I stuck out my tongue and caught the water that dripped down on it, smiling afterwards. “Thank you.” I said.

He mumbled something as he sealed the canteen and walked back to his sleeping bag. “Any family?” I inquired.

He remained silent as he got into the sleeping bag and faced away from me.

“Mm fine, be that way.” I sighed, slumping down.

“Good night.” He said, after a moment I could tell he had fallen asleep.

I stared at him silently, assuring he wasn’t faking. I smirked, a quiet stretching sound was heard as I slowly separated from my spider half. My bipedal legs slimey and shaky as I re-adjusted to this type of walking. I stepped quietly towards his sleeping bag, my fangs practically throbbing as it prepared the venom.

“Mmm… Hey there sweetie…” He mumbled quietly.

I raised an eyebrow, continuing towards him.

“That looks amazing… I’m sure all the other kids are jealous of your talents…” He mumbled.

I kneeled down beside him, staring down with a slight intrigue as I listened.

“Where’s mom and dad?” He asked quietly. “Oh… I see…”

I tilted my head curiously.

“Okay… I’ll tuck you in and read you the story I promised.” He said, I could see the smile growing on his face before it faded and he snored softly.

I grinned slightly. My fangs visible as I leaned down towards his neck. My eyes shifted to a poster sticking out of his bag, looking like a wanted poster.

“What… what do you mean… they’re…” He mumbled, slightly startling me. I glanced down to see a few tears in his eyes. “No.. no… they… they can’t be…” He started to shake and shift restlessly.

I glanced back to him, my fangs against his neck ready to pierce as I paused.

“You’re all useless… I can’t… I just can’t believe you…” He mumbled, more tears streaming down his face. “You’re just… going to let him get away? Why… why would you do that?”

I moved back slowly, closing my mouth as I listened to him talk.

He started to cry and his arms wrapped tightly around me. I gasped, staring wide eyed at him before slowly relaxing.

“Y… you’re… a… all I have left…” He mumbled, pressing his face into my chest.

I stared silently down at him. Why am I feeling bad for him? He should be dead right. Why am I hesitating…

“You… y… you and me… w… we’re…” He mumbled before he started to sob, squeezing me more tightly as if he was desperately clinging to my warmth.

I sat there for a minute before closing my eyes and taking a deep breath. I wrapped my arms around him and held him against me, running a hand gently through his hair.

He shivered a little and his crying started to get weaker as if he were calming down.

I hummed a lullaby as I continued to hold him, gently rubbing his head. “Golden slumbers kiss your eyes, smiles await you when you rise… Sleep, pretty baby, do not cry… and I will sing a lullaby.” I sang softly.

He nuzzled himself against me, his beak slightly scratching me as his crying stopped and his body went limp.

“Cares you know not, therefore sleep… While over you a watch I’ll keep. Sleep, pretty darling, do not cry, and I will sing you a lullaby…” I continued.

His arms left my back and fell onto the ground, his soft snoring returning as the last tear slid down his cheek.

Third Person:

The following morning:

Sharp woke up slowly and groggily. The first thing he noticed when his eyes opened was the webs laid over top of him. He was about to try to rip them off when he realized that they weren’t sticking to him.

“Good morning.” Ashanti said, holding him gently against her as she started stroking her hand through his hair again.

He stiffened up and stared at her, his eyes wide with fear.

“If I wanted to kill you… you wouldn’t have woken up.” She said. “But then again… I love playing with my food.” She cooed.

He gulped, “Wha-” He cut himself off as he felt two legs against his own. “What…?”

Ashanti wrapped her legs around him, crossing them over him and letting her feet rest on his crotch as she hugged him tighter. “Just relax…” She whispered soothingly.

“Last time I did that... I almost got eaten…” He said quietly, his eyes not leaving hers. He glanced down momentarily, “Why… are you not eating me exactly?” He asked uncertainly.

“Mmm I dunno. Do you want me to?” She asked, her fangs becoming visible as a searing venom dripped onto his skin.

“Not… not really…” He mumbled.

“Good. But really… I am getting hungry.” She said in a serious tone, gripping him tighter.

“You’re not the only one.” He chuckled as his stomach grumbled and he grimaced slightly.

There was a rapid pitter-patter as a large spider, nearly twice the size of Sharp came into view, staring intently at him.

Sharp gulped and stared back at it, shaking slightly as a small wave of fear washed over him.

The spider approached, dropping a deer that was on it’s back. Sharp saw the deer’s eyes were wide open, still alive… Still awake.

“Mmm good work, momma’s so proud of you.” Ashanti said, standing up and hugging the spider gently, a small almost purring sound coming from it. The deer stared up in terror at Sharp, as if pleading in it’s gaze.

Sharp stared back at the deer for a moment before a look of relief crossed his face.

Ashanti lowered herself to the deer, her mouth opening wider, and wider… seeming to almost unhinge like a snake as rows of sharp teeth were revealed. She clamped down on it’s stomach and tore a chunk out, chewing it as blood ran down her naked body.

Sharp looked away and almost nervously clicked his beak.

The spider came over and bit down on the deer’s leg, literally tearing it off as it walked out of the camp site with it to eat it in it’s own time. “I have a lot of toxins… I share the same with my little guy out there. The sad part about this paralysis is that… it doesn’t stop pain.” She said as she chomped a bite out of it’s chest, cracking and tearing a rib out. The deer’s eyes were locked on Sharp, it’s eyes wide open.

Sharp quickly stood up and rushed over to a bush gagging as he tried to puke the vast emptiness that was his stomach out. His attention snapped to the side as a large chunk of the deer landed near him. “You should eat too.” She called.

“I… sort of lost my appetite…” Sharp mumbled as more vomit left his mouth.

The sickening crunches continued, unable to escape the horrible sounds of agony echoing through the camp.

Sharp covered his ears as he fell back against a tree. Minutes passed as a realization hit him. The crunching had stopped. When he looked back he saw Ashanti standing there, staring silently at him with most of her body covered in blood.

“What?” He asked.

She walked towards him slowly, a wide, creepy and almost lustful smile on her face as she stared intently at him, seemingly drunk after eating the deer. She looked like she was still hungry…

Sharp started to crawl back to get away from her.

Ashanti burst towards him with a startling speed and pinned him to the ground, staring down at him with a somehow even wider smile.

Sharp stared up at her fearfully.

Ashanti grabbed his hands and slid them up her body, coating them in blood as she held them to her breasts.

His expression changed to a more confused one.

“Oh you smell soooo good right now…” Ashanti growled, licking the blood off her face with a tongue longer than he remembered.

His breathing started to get a little heavier as his eyes now locked with hers.

Ashanti crawled backwards, lining her head to his crotch as she grabbed his waistline and started to pull his pants off.

His mind race momentarily but his lingering thoughts stopped once his pants were completely off, letting his still hardening dick fall out onto the ground.

Ashanti didn’t even let it harden completely before she took it into her mouth and gripped it with both hands.

Sharp gasped and both his hands shot to the back of her head, instead of trying to pull her off he tried to push her further down. He felt a sharp pain as her fangs pierced his shaft, injecting a burning liquid into it that made it throb roughly, seeming harder than he’s ever felt it. “Nnnn… Fuck…” He grunted before he roughly bucked his hips up.

Ashanti gagged as it was forced down her throat, tightening around it as she gripped his ass, a strength he hadn’t seen holding it in the air as she forced him to thrust repeatedly into her maw.

He moaned loudly as he started roughly moving her head up and down almost in time with the thrusts she was forcing him to make.

Her hands dug into his ass, the sharpened nails cutting into it as she gagged around his length.

His grip on her head tightened as his orgasm approached. As it hit he forced her head completely down, hilting himself in her throat.

She closed her eyes, swallowing repeatedly in preparation for his arrival.

As his orgasm made it to his member it bulged out, locking itself in her maw. A thick burning hot spray shot down her throat and stuck to everything it touched.

Ashanti’s eyes rolled back, her eyes fluttering as she shook violently, her pussy starting to leak profusely.

Sharp grabbed both sides of her head and pulled is still spasming dick from her mouth, spraying the last of his first orgasm onto her face and chest. He stared at her, panting heavily as his hands shifted to her shoulders.

Ashanti’s breathing was rapid as she stood up, giggling as she bolted off.

Sharp’s wings shot out and he sped off after her, once he reached her he threw his entire weight at her forcing her onto the ground. Soon after she felt him teasingly nipping parts of her back and ears as he ground himself against her toasty buns.

Ashanti moaned, sliding her body against Sharp’s needily as she stared back at him.

Sharp leaned down and pressed his beak to her lips, forcing his rough tongue into her mouth as he lanced forward, his erect dick hitting her leg roughly.

Ashanti shoved him off, sending him into the dirt. When he regained his focus he saw she was on her hands and knees, the strong and obvious scent of her dripping pussy filling his nose as she stared back at Sharp, waiting for him.

Sharp quickly mounted her and nipped at her neck again as he thrust randomly, his head bashing against her a few times before it was violently slammed into her slit.

Ashanti screamed with a satisfied pleasure as he drilled into her.

He grunted as he started to animalistically pound her, each thrust just coming in rougher than the last. His hands shot down to her breasts and he roughly squeezed them as he continuously nipped and licked her cheek and face.

Ashanti shook with violent pleasure as she was thoroughly dominated and bred, enjoying every second of it.

She felt Sharp’s hot breath on her ear, “You’re… mine… now…” He grunted softly.

“I’m yooours!” She repeated, screaming before getting cut of by a sharp and sudden orgasm.

His head smashed violently against her cervix, trying to make it’s own entry into her deepest chambers. “I’m… going to make sure… everyone knows that…” He whispered as his throbbing dick seemed to thicken even more.

“Fertilize meeee! I neeeeeed itttphh…” She slurred shakily, her nails digging into the dirt.

Sharp tore everything except the tip out of her.

“Don’t st… staaah…” She panted heavily. “So cloooose…”

He lightly nipped her ear before almost piercing it with his beak as he slammed forward, breaking right through her cervix and forcing it open wider then it ever should have managed. As he did so he roughly grabbed her hair and yanked it back.

Ashanti shrieked, her inner walls clamping down like a vice to hold him inside, desperately trying to make him cum and sow his seed.

Sharp pulled down on her breasts as the first bulge of his cum traveled at a painfully slow speed down her canal.

Ashanti shivered and shook violently, reveling in the feeling of the bulge traveling through her.

Her womb was coated in his thick hot seed as a second much larger bulge entered her snatch.

“YES MORE!!” She screamed loudly, her tongue lolling out as she felt her satisfaction coming to fruition as her desire to breed was being fulfilled.

He started to pull out, dragging the slow moving bulge on his cock back towards her entrance.

Ashanti’s head twisted back, an angry glare being directed at him as she bared her teeth.

Sharp suddenly pressed his slightly opened beak to her mouth as he slammed back in almost piercing the back of her womb.

Ashanti’s anger faded instantly and her eyes rolled back, nearly going limp as she barely held herself up.

The bulge forced its’ way through her cervix and soon another massive wave of cum flooded into her, this time splashing out and coating her walls with a thorough covering of spunk. Despite his still unfinished orgasm he started to thrust into her again, spreading his cum out even more.

Ashanti’s face hit the ground as her arms failed her, drooling into the dirt as she gave herself entirely to him.

“Nnn… heh… heh… w… wait until… it’s MY… breeding season…” He whispered as he continuously impaled her.

“I’m yours to use…” She mumbled, shaking from the constant pleasure.

He suddenly stopped thrusting and lifted her up, forcing her onto her back. He stared down at her as he picked up thrusting.

Ashanti pulled him down into her arms and moaned softly into his ear.

He nipped her lip affectionately before kissing her.

She closed her eyes and melted into the kiss, holding his head to hers tightly, not wanting to let him go.

Several hours later:

Sharp slid his finally spent dick out of Ashanti’s ravaged slit. He nuzzled the side of her neck as he affectionately nipped her. “That was felt amazing…” He started.

“Mmm… I didn’t know you were a virgin.” She teased, rubbing her bloated belly.

“Not anymore.” He smiled as he kissed her cheek.

“When I said I was going to eat you, this isn’t what I had in mind.” She said bluntly before bursting out into laughter.

“Well I’m happy it turned out this way.” He chuckled as he wrapped his arms and wings around her.

“You know… most spiders after mating devour the male’s ‘head’.” She said, glancing down at his crotch.

“Oh.” He mumbled, “Please… please… don’t…” He begged quietly, shaking slightly as his grip on her got weaker.

Ashanti moved down slowly, her mouth right above his dick as she stared up at him.

Sharp was breathing heavily as he watched her fearfully.

Her mouth opened wide, revealing the rows of sharp teeth once again as she slowly slid the quickly softening shaft into it.

His breath caught in his throat as he braced for the pain.

Sharp’s entire body tensed up as a loud chomp was heard. He froze, looking down to see she had slammed her jaws shut just above the head.

“H… h…” He mumbled shakily.

She smiled widely. “Oh you thought I was going to… Oh silly you!” Ashanti laughed.

His face blanked before he glared at her. He closed his beak tightly before rolling his eyes. She climbed into his lap and pressed her forehead against his. “Mm you take things too seriously.” She smiled.

“With what I do for a living I have to.” He grunted.

“And what do you do?” She asked.

“I’m a bounty hunter.” He stated.

“Oh?” She said curiously.

“Yeah. And I love what I do.” He said.

“Mmm so brave… Brave traveler…” She smirked.

“Knock it off.” He grunted.

Ashanti leaned back and slapped him hard across the face.

Sharp rubbed his cheek and stared at her, “What was that for?” He questioned.

“Being a prick. Now lighten up.” She ordered.

“Mmm…” He mumbled a smile coming to his face. “Alright.”

“Better.” She cooed, feeling his hardness growing against her backside.

Sharp stared silently at her.

“I know what you’re thinking.” She said.

“What?” He asked calmly.

“You want to be in charge again don’t you.” She whispered.

His smile grew and he just stared at her.

Ashanti licked her lips slowly before leaning in and pressing them to his.

His beak opened wide for her as his tongue darted out and greedily licked her lips.

She pulled back slowly, staring at him with a growing smile.

“Wha…” He mumbled as he felt his body go numb. Ashanti placed her finger in his forehead and nudged him, watching him fall backwards, paralysed on his back.

“Don’t worry, you can still move your eyes. And you’ll still feel everything I’m going to do to you… everything.” She said softly, running a hand through his hair.

His eyes darted to her as a slight fear returned.

“Mm I think it’s my turn.” She laughed softly, the razors that were her nails dangled teasingly across his shaft as she ran them down it.

His eyes widened even more as he watched helplessly.

“Let’s have some fun.” She cooed.

Sometime later:

Sharp’s eyes slowly and groggily. He tried to move his legs only to find he still couldn’t feel them, along with his crotch. His eyes shot open and he looked down to confirm that he still had his lower body.

“How’d you sleep?” Ashanti’s voice chimed in, snapping Sharp’s attention up to her. He saw she was hovering over a campfire, cooking something that looked to be the deer from earlier. On her head was the hat he had lost earlier after they first ‘met’.

Sharp silently stared at her for a moment, noticing her belly had returned to it’s normal size, thinking nothing of it. “Okay,” He said.

She continued to turn the roasting meat along the fire.

“What did you do to me?” He questioned.

“Paralysed you so you can’t run. You won’t miss your legs, don’t worry…” She said calmly.

“And wh- Wait… I won’t…” He mumbled.

“Would you mind if I had them? You can’t use them much now anyways.” Ashanti said, looking over at Sharp.

Sharp silently stared at the ground before he fell back onto it.

“Sharp?” She said, staring at him curiously.

“Just kill me.” He said quietly.

Ashanti walked over and took a seat next to him. “Maybe later.” She teased.

He stared silently at her.

Ashanti stuck her finger in her mouth as she seemed to swirl something around in it. When she pulled it out her fingernail was laced with a bright green liquid.

“What’s that?” Sharp questioned.

She quickly pricked both his legs with her nail before licking the blood that had replaced the green substance.

He closed his beak tightly and let out a muffled groan as feeling returned to his legs.

“Testing.” She said, stabbing a fingernail into his leg.

Sharp’s eyes snapped shut as tears appeared in them.

Ashanti smiled and pulled the nails out, patting him on the back. “There ya go sport.” She said, standing up and walking back to the fire.

“God… Damn it…” He mumbled.

“You hungry?” She asked.

“Of course I am.” He stated.

“Just a moment. Let the anti-venom kick in and rest.” She said, humming a song that seemed to almost hypnotize him.

After a moment Sharp forced his hands over his ears. He was startled by the plate of food that was suddenly in front of him as she set it in his lap.

He stared at the food before staring up at her.

“Oh you poor thing… You don’t chew food yet.” She said in a faked sympathetic tone, gripping her breasts and squeezing them lightly as she stared down at him.

He shoved the plate off of his lap and looked away from her.

“I knew it, here let me help you…” She teased, about to sit in his lap.

Sharp pushed her away, “I’m done.” He stated.

Ashanti’s eyes widened, stumbled backwards, her hand planting firmly in the firepit she had made. She screamed and yanked her hand out, gripping it tightly.

Sharp’s head snapped to her and he quickly scrambled over to her, narrowly grabbing his bag. He dug around in it for a moment before pulling out an unlabeled and unmarked bottle. He poured a cream out into his hand and set down the bottle, holding his other hand out silently.

Ashanti stared at him intently, backing up.

“This will ease the burn.” He said quietly. “Please… Give me your hand…”

Ashanti turned and burst into a sprint.

Sharp shakily stood up and tried to keep up with her.

Ashanti continued to run until she hit a large impassable river, glancing around quickly for another way.

Sharp ran up behind her, “Ashanti, please… I want to help…” He said through heavy breathes. He gasped in surprise as he was thrown to the ground, the large spider coming out from behind him and pinning him to the ground.

He tried to struggle only succeeding in further tiring himself out.

The spider’s fangs extended, the venom obvious as it tilted it’s head back, about to strike.

Sharp closed his eyes and braced himself for the last thing he’d ever feel.

“Sal!” Ashanti shouted. The spider stopped just above Sharp’s neck.

Sharp gulped and opened his eyes up slightly.

“Down…” She said quietly. The spider lifted itself up and moved to Ashanti’s side, the two of them walking away. “There’s still food at the camp… It should feed you till you get home…” She said in a half saddened, almost emotionless tone.

Sharp tried to stand only to find his feet were webbed together. He fell back to the ground weakly and stared up at her a saddened look in his eyes.

Ashanti and the spider disappeared into the forest, the crunching of their feet fading to nothingness.

His head hit the ground and he started to quietly cry.

After a few minutes there was a crunching sound as something else approached. He looked up hopefully only to see Stormy approaching him.

Stormy slowly walked up to his master and leaned down. tearing the webbing from his feet before pushing his weakened friend up and onto his back and carried him back to the camp.

Sharp grabbed some of the food and started eating for the first time in a week.

Sharp sighed quietly as he doused the fire. He glanced around at the now empty campsite as he shouldered his backpack. He slowly walked back to the last place he had seen Ashanti and kneeled down beside the river, filling his canteens. After he stood up and looked around he noticed the footprints and an idea popped into his head.

He quickly followed the footprints, avoiding disturbing the ground as best he could. He reached the end of the trail at the base of a large tree, several web strings attached to it and darting into the forest. He decided his best course of action was to follow the strings so he hovered close to them to get a better look at each one. He saw that each of them pointed around the same direction, except for a single, solitary one on the direct opposite of the tree, going in the other direction.

He took a deep breath in and flew in the direction the solitary string pointed. Sharp spotted a darkened cave entrance in the distance, noting a strange sound as he approached it. It was…

...crying?

Author's Note

Much like The Pack (thought it definitely will not be as long), me and my boyfriend made an OC and will be roleplaying as them. These will be our recorded sessions. I am Ashanti, and he is Sharp Wing. I hope you enjoy this series a lot! Have a nice day.
