The Spider And The Fly
Chapter 3: New Acquaintances
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSharp moved as quickly as he could along the moving web. He arrived at the spot and quickly saw the cyan pegasus trapped in the web.
“I wonder what you taste like.” Ashanti said, licking her lips and licking the pegasus’ cheek. “Mmm I won’t be wasting a thing…”
Sharp shot right at Ashanti and tackled her away from the pegasus. “NO!” He said quickly.
Ashanti hissed loudly at him, struggling underneath him.
“What the hell?” The pegasus questioned.
“She’s my dinner! You can wait your turn.” Ashanti squirmed.
“You aren’t eating her!” Sharp stated.
“Why not?” Ashanti questioned. “You had no problem with the deer. Besides vomiting.”
“I have plenty of problems with eating something that’s still living.” Sharp said. “And intelligent.”
“But you’re only half those things.” Ashanti teased. “So does that mean I can eat you?”
“Do I need to put you under to stop you? Because I will.” Sharp stated.
Ashanti stared at him silently.
“And if I didn’t think she was useful I wouldn’t be stopping you.” Sharp said.
The Pegasus gulped audibly.
“And how do you figure that?” Ashanti asked.
“Well if she’s out here then she knows a way to the town.” Sharp said.
Ashanti smiled widely. “Full of juicy meat.” She smiled, kissing Sharp. “That’s why I love you. And I know how to make her talk...”
The Pegasus’s eyes widened and she began to shake from more than just the cold.
“Or you know we could just let her free and follow her right back to town.” Sharp whispered.
Sal stood up, lifting Sharp effortlessly as he was dragged towards the web. “So you want to live?” Ashanti sighed.
“Yeah.” The Pegasus nodded vigorously.
Ashanti climbed onto the web, her razor sharp nails sliding down the Pegasus’s arm teasingly and stopping at her wrist. “I am very… thirsty though…” She whispered.
The pegasus gulped and stared shakily at Ashanti.
“What’s your name.” Ashanti asked sternly and assertively, gripping the pony’s wrist painfully tight.
“R… Rainbow Dash…” The pegasus mumbled, through gritted teeth.
“Good… now we can find you if you decide to run.” Ashanti whispered. “And if you do run… we’ll find everyone you know and love. I’ve never seen what mixing my venoms can do to someone, I’ll be happy to find out the… effects.” She cooed, baring her fangs and letting a searing venom leak out that barely missed her hand and melted through the web next to it.
Dash started shaking even more.
“Damn it all…” Sharp mumbled under his breath.
“Good.” Ashanti smiled, gripping Dash’s arm and tearing it off the web, yanking some skin off in a checkerboard pattern of the web.
Dash bit her lip to stop herself from screaming.
“Oh stop being a baby. It’s just like ripping off a bandage… Slow and painful is worse. But then again…” Ashanti started, grabbing her head and pulling it slowly, her hair stuck to the web and shooting pain through her body.
“Stop that.” Sharp stated.
Ashanti groaned. “You had fun when I teased you.” She said.
“Doing that to me is one thing but I’m not going to condone it on others unless they deserve it.” Sharp stated.
“Fine.” Ashanti sighed, grabbing Dash’s hair and pulling it off painlessly, putting her hand on Dash’s back and pushing her off the web entirely and into the snow.
Sharp climbed off of Sal and hovered inches above the ground.
Dash climbed to her feet and looked back at Ashanti and Sharp.
“You know the only thing stopping me from killing you is the fact that I have no proof you’ve ever killed someone.” Sharp said, glancing at Ashanti.
“I have.” Ashanti said bluntly.
“Like I said. I have no proof that you have other then your word.” Sharp smiled.
“Oh so my word is nothing to you? Okay.” Ashanti said, turning away from him.
“I wasn’t saying that.” Sharp said quickly.
Ashanti approached Rainbow Dash, the towering spider-woman staring down at her unamused.
“R… right this way…” Dash mumbled as she started to guide them towards the town.
“So, I assume you ‘do’ something where you come from. A job perhaps?” Ashanti asked the pegasus in an almost bland bored tone.
“I’m on the weather team.” Dash said.
“Uh huh…” Ashanti mumbled.
Sharp hovered silently beside them and seemed to be distracted by the large crossbow he was examining and tweaking with.
“You, pony girl.” Ashanti stated.
“Y… Yeah?” Dash asked.
“Which direction is the town.” Ashanti asked.
“It’s up ahead.” Dash said.
“Good, now get on my back and entertain my husband so he doesn’t shoot me in the ass.” Ashanti said.
“What?” Both Sharp and Dash questioned.
Ashanti looked back at Sharp. “You’re my husband.” She said factually before turning and walking forward, nudging Dash.
“Um… Sure…” Dash stammered as she got onto Ashanti’s back.
“I don’t need entertainment because I’m NOT going to shoot you in the ass.” Sharp said.
“Better safe than sorry. So tell him about yourself.” Ashanti said. “And besides… The only weapon I have to polish is in your pants.”
“Ha very funny.” Sharp sighed.
Ashanti’s upper body slid back, still in the spider and stopping next to the two. “I’m bored, talk.” She said, poking Dash’s cheek.
“I don’t know what to talk about!” Dash said quickly.
“Will you relax, you’re not going to die.” Ashanti sighed. “Just tell us something about yourself. I doubt the town is anywhere close. I’m Ashanti, how dreadfully droll to meet you.”
Sharp seemed to be busy digging around in his backpack for something.
“It’s nice? To meet you too.” Dash said uncertainly.
“Ah ha.” Sharp mumbled as he pulled out a rolled up poster.
“The weapons fanatic back there is Sharp Wing. He’s a bounty hunter. How are you doing Sharpy?” Ashanti asked playfully.
Sharp rolled out the poster and held it in front of Dash. “Have you seen this man?” He asked.
“Yeah. He just moved into town… why?” Dash asked.
“Mmm this is going to be fun.” Sharp mused.
“What did this man do again? And what was his name. And wh- Oh right, you didn’t tell me any of that.” Ashanti said, lying forward onto her stomach, her legs becoming visible as she bobbed them back and forth.
“His name’s Crimson Rose.” Dash started.
“And he’s a serial rapist who’s dabbled in murder.” Sharp stated.
“What?” Dash questioned.
“Ohh do I get to eat him?” Ashanti asked.
“If you’re going to I at least need some evidence that he’s dead so I can get the reward.” Sharp said. “Though I’d rather bring him in alive, they’re always worth more that way.”
“Mmm you can have the head. But can I have the eyes? They’re so juicy and squishy.” Ashanti giggled, shifting behind Rainbow Dash and wrapping her arms around to the front. “You don’t need yours… do you?”
“I need mine.” Dash said quickly.
“Sure. They’ll know either way.” Sharp shrugged.
“So… since um… you two are married… how’d you meet?” Dash asked.
“I was about to eat him and he tied me up before waking up on my naked body and fucking me, burning me, and fucking me again in a cave.” Ashanti said.
Dash silently stared at Sharp.
“I was edged on both times. And she said yes both times.” Sharp said without looking up from the vial he was examining.
“Mm yes I’m sure that’s what you say to sleep at night.” Ashanti cooed, leaning closer to Dash. “Oh don’t even get me started on what HE will do to you. All I’ll do is paralyse you and tear every limb from your body.”
“I make it a habit not to go down as low as my prey.” Sharp said calmly as he slipped the vial back into the bolt.
Ashanti licked Dash’s cheek again.
Dash shivered and looked back at Ashanti.
“Well while we’re here…” Ashanti said, pressing her lips gently to Dash’s.
Dash stiffened up and sat there frozen.
“Mmm…” Ashanti hummed, pulling back slightly and licking Dash’s lips.
Dash shook slightly but stiffened up when she felt something get pressed against her back.
“What are you doing to my wife?” Sharp asked, his beak mere inches from her ear.
“N… Nothing…” Dash mumbled.
“Good answer.” Sharp chuckled as he went back to his original position.
Ashanti slid a hand into Dash’s pants, teasing her finger along the pony’s slit.
Dash shivered and scooted back.
“Come on, you look cold.” Ashanti said, pulling Dash back against her.
Sharp’s attention suddenly snapped up and his wings shot out as he took off and flew towards a tree.
“And where are you off to?” Ashanti shouted.
Sharp ignored her as he started pulling things from the tree, various pinecones and loose branches. After he seemed content he flew back down and sat back at his original position again. He began to carefully pack away some of the things he picked into his bag.
“Don’t ignore me.” Ashanti shouted.
“You’d just make fun of me for it.” Sharp stated.
“I’m still going to let you screw me later.” She said.
“It’s for a nest.” Sharp stated. “MY nest to be specific.”
“Excuse me?” Ashanti asked.
“You sound surprised that a bird would make a nest.” Sharp said.
“You sound surprised that I care.” Ashanti said.
“I am. I half expected you to call me stupid for it.” Sharp said.
“You are, but I still love you for who you are.” Ashanti joked.
“Hm.” Sharp grumbled. “And to think…”
“Just hurry up. I’m lonely without you next to me.” Ashanti said.
Dash looked at Ashanti quietly.
“Oh you’re okay too.” Ashanti said, waving dismissively.
Sharp put his backpack back on and crawled over to Ashanti before wrapping his arms around her and resting his head on her shoulder.
“But really, I’ll be right back.” Ashanti said, slipping out of his arms and disappearing into the snow.
“Of course… Don’t get lost.” Sharp called.
“I didn’t know gryphons still built personal nests.” Dash said.
“It’s something the subspecies I’m part of does.” Sharp said.
“Wow… That’s… kind of cool.” Dash shrugged.
“Mmhm.” Sharp nodded. He pulled a pinecone out of his bag and began to look over it.
“So uh… where do you live?” Dash asked.
“Are you asking where I go when I’m not working, or where I live currently?” Sharp asked.
“Either or.” Dash shrugged.
“I live in my families home in the norther part of the Gryphon Kingdom. Other then that it’s wherever I lay my head down at night.” Sharp said.
“I see…” Dash said.
“Worthless.” Sharp said as he threw the pinecone at a nearby tree.
“So is she… really going to eat me?” Dash asked.
“No.” Sharp said. “She’s too distracted by the snow right now.”
“The snow?” Dash raised an eyebrow. She was caught off guard as a snowball hit her in the side of the head, followed by a quiet giggling.
“The snow.” Sharp laughed.
“You’ll make sure she doesn’t though right?” Dash said, wiping the snow off her face.
“I will.” Sharp nodded.
Ashanti reappeared, climbing back on Sal and looking at the two.
“Good.” Dash said, tackling Ashanti off, causing her to scream as they both disappeared into the snow.
Sharp laughed a little more.
Ashanti and Dash both screamed. Dash was immediately in the air as Ashanti climbed back on Sal.
They all heard a low growl before a large mass leaped out of the snow and tackled Dash into another pile.
Dash’s scream was cut short and all movement in the snow pile stopped.
“Three.” Sharp started.
“Hm?” Ashanti questioned.
Sharp scooted away from Ashanti. “Two.” He smirked.
“What are y-” Ashanti was cut short as Stormy leaped from the snow pile and slammed into both Ashanti and Sharp, sending them both into another pile of snow before laying down on Sal’s back.
“Nn… I misjudged that by a lot…” Sharp mumbled.
Ashanti sat up, staring at Stormy. “Challenge accepted.” She said, disappearing into the snow again.
Stormy curled up on top of Sal and hid his face in his own stomach.
Dash flew up and plopped down next to Stormy, staring at him.
Stormy looked up at Dash for a moment before giving her a face full of slobber as he licked her.
Ashanti threw a snowball, hitting Dash in the face again. “Hey!” She grunted.
Ashanti giggled and climbed back onto Sal, jumping on top of Stormy.
Stormy looked up at Ashanti before licking her face. Ashanti’s extra long tongue fell out and she started licking him back.
“Yuck…” Dash groaned.
“Oh so that’s gross?” Sharp questioned.
“Yes.” Dash said, staring at the two thoroughly licking each other.
“Well then this shouldn’t be…” Sharp smirked as he licked his finger and shoved it into Dash’s ear.
“GUH!” Dash shivered.
“And twist.” Sharp laughed as he twisted his finger and completely slathered her inner ear with his spit.
Dash twisted around and socked Sharp dead center in the face.
Sharp fell back into the snow.
Ashanti looked at Dash for a moment. “Don’t worry, I do that all the time.” She said.
Stormy barked before hiding his face back in his stomach.
Ashanti started scratching everything gently on Stormy she could.
Stormy wiggled his butt and tail but refused to uncurl.
A snow ball flew by narrowly missing Dash.
Dash turned to where it was thrown and glanced around the area quickly.
The back of her shirt opened and a lot of ice and snow was dumped down it.
“GnnnhG!” Dash groaned.
Another snow ball flew by and hit Stormy.
Dash stood up, turning around to face Sharp and glared at him.
Sharp stared back and gulped a little.
“Now you fucked up.” Dash said, cracking her knuckles.
“Just hold on a second…” Sharp said, raising his hands defensively.
Before Dash could speak Stormy pushed her down and began to rub his wet head against her face.
“AH!” Dash shouted, trying to push Stormy off.
Stormy stopped rubbing his head against her and laid down on top of her. His eyes locked with hers and it looked like he was daring her to attack.
Dash stared for a moment before sighing. She reached her hand up and started scratching behind his ears.
Stormy’s tail wagged even harder and he happily licked Dash’s face.
“Good boy.” Dash said with a mixture of laughs and groans.
Sharp sighed and got back on Sal’s back and leaned back against Stormy. Everyone but Ashanti gasped as Sal tilted forward, sliding everyone into the snow except Ashanti, who stuck to him. “I think we’re here.” Ashanti said.
“Mmpmm.” Sharp mumbled from the pile of snow he had fallen into.
Stormy’s ears suddenly snapped up and his head darted around.
Sal stood there silently, his head slowly turning and listening.
Stormy was quickly on all fours before he barked and charged back into the forest.
Sal followed Stormy as well, the two disappearing in the trees.
“Uhh.” Dash mumbled.
“Don’t worry about them they’ll be fine.” Ashanti said, glancing toward the town in the distance. “What was this place called again?”
“Ponyville.” Dash said.
“Great…” Sharp sighed.
Ashanti jumped onto Sharp’s back. “Onward.” She ordered, pointing to the town.
Dash chuckled quietly.
“I better get something out of it.” Sharp said as he started walking towards the town.
“Oh if you wanted something you could have just told me.” Ashanti said, her feet moving down and sliding gently against his crotch.
Sharp shivered and moaned quietly.
Dash’s face reddened slightly as she stared at the two.
“Mm something wrong?” Ashanti asked, her right foot slipping into his pants and sliding against his shaft.
“Mmm if you keep this up I’m going to have a hard time not ravaging you in the center of town.” Sharp mumbled.
“Oh I’m sure you’ll try.” Ashanti hummed, rubbing her crotch against the back of his head.
Sharp looked back at Ashanti. “I’m going to have to really keep my eye on you aren’t I?” He said.
“What makes you say that?” Ashanti laughed.
“I doubt many of the men in town are going to be able to keep their hands off of you if I leave you alone.” Sharp said.
“Mm and what’s wrong with that?” Ashanti asked.
Sharp was quiet for a moment before he looked away, “Nothing.” He said.
“Oh you’re jealous!” Ashanti teased.
“No. I’m not.” Sharp said.
“Yes you are.” Ashanti and Dash said.
“It’s nothing like that.” Sharp stated.
“I’m sure.” Ashanti said.
“Mmhm.” Dash said.
Sharp shook his head and sighed. “I’m not jealous… I’m just worried.” He said quietly.
“Aww that’s so sweet.” Ashanti teased.
Sharp sighed again.
“I’ll be fine. You’re not going to lose me again.” Ashanti said, sliding her hand through his hair.
He smiled slightly and was quiet for a moment, “I’ve been wondering something.” He said.
“Mm?” Ashanti asked.
“What made you decide to not eat me?” Sharp asked.
“Well… You were sleeping.” Ashanti said.
“I would know that a sleeping creature is a MUCH easier target to hunt… So why would that stop you?” Sharp asked.
“You were talking in your sleep.” Ashanti said quietly.
Sharp went silent for a few seconds, “About… what?” He asked almost reluctantly.
“You were crying. Saying something about ‘How could you let him go?’” She said.
“Oh… So…” Sharp started, looking back at her.
“I didn’t want to.” Ashanti said.
He looked ahead and continued walking forward.
“Are you two… okay?” Dash asked.
“Yeah…” Sharp said, “At least… I am…” His hands moved back and he pulled Ashanti closer.
“I’m just fine.” Ashanti smiled, her thighs tightening slightly around his head.
Sharp smiled. “I can’t wait to show you my home.” He said.
The three of them approached the edge of the town, seeing a group of kids running around and playing in the snow and small groups of people walking by, most of them staring at the three.
“You should probably put some clothes on.” Dash said, staring at Ashanti.
“No.” Ashanti said bluntly.
“Not everyone can be like you.” Sharp said, shooting Dash a small glare.
“What’s that supposed to mean?” Dash questioned, crossing her arms.
Sharp sighed, “Nothing.” He said.
“Oh I forgot, women with clothing is illegal in the ‘Gryphon Empire’. My mistake, I’ll make sure to never go there ever.” Dash said.
“That’s not what I was saying. And no. No it isn’t.” Sharp snapped. “Don’t go saying things about something you know NOTHING about.”
“You’re a very hostile person aren’t you.” Dash said, raising an eyebrow.
“Yes.” Ashanti nodded.
“Shut up.” Sharp said.
“See? My depths are quivering. I mean I’m quivering in my depths.” Ashanti said. Her and Dash started laughing.
“I’m…” Sharp mumbled before he shut himself up.
“So do you even have a place to stay?” Dash asked.
“Nope.” Ashanti said.
“I have the money to get a hotel room. And train tickets back home.” Sharp said.
“Orrrr… We could stay with you.” Ashanti said, glancing at Dash.
“Unless you can fly, no.” Dash said. “Buuuut…” She started, an almost devious smile appearing on her face.
There was a knocking at the front door, Twilight’s gaze switching from her book to it immediately. “SPIKE!” She shouted.
“WHAT!” Spike called.
“Get the door!” She called back.
There was a quiet grumbling as Spike walked to the door, reaching up and opening it. “Hel-” He paused, staring at the tall, naked woman in front of him.
“Hello.” Ashanti said, staring down at the baby dragon.
“Who is it?” Twilight called.
“TWILIGHT!” Spike called frantically. “SITUATION!”
Twilight grumbled and stood up before walking towards the front door. “What is it this time?” She asked.
Spike pointed to the naked, furless and smooth skinned woman.
Twilight’s eyes widened before she quickly pulled the woman inside and shut the door, “What are you doing out there naked in this weather?” She asked quickly.
“I’m always naked.” Ashanti said calmly, walking over to the couch and sitting down.
“W… I um…” Spike mumbled, his face bright red.
“That’s…” Twilight mumbled.
“Oh does this community look down at nudists?” Ashanti asked, glancing down at Spike. “I know you are…” She cooed.
Spike’s blush increased and he covered his face.
“No we don’t.” Twilight said as her magic lit up and Spike was teleported out of the room.
“Would you like to sit down?” Ashanti asked, patting the seat next to her.
“Um… Sure?” Twilight said uncertainly as she sat down beside Ashanti.
There was a quick loud knocking on the door.
Twilight quickly stood up and walked over to the door and opened it. “Oh hey Dash… And…” She started. “Just come inside.”
“How’s the guest room situation?” Dash asked.
“It’s empty. Why? Did you wreck your house again?” Twilight asked.
Sharp walked silently in and sat down beside Ashanti.
“And who’s that?” Twilight questioned.
“The woman is Ashanti, the gryphon is Sharp Wing. She tried to eat me. We’re friends now.” Dash said, pushing Twilight out of the way and sprawling herself out on the couch, reclining back and kicking her feet up onto Sharp’s legs.
“She tried to eat you…” Twilight said in disbelief.
“Yep.” Ashanti nodded. “We have fun.”
“I don’t even…” Twilight mumbled as she shut the door.
“Hey.” Dash said, poking Sharp’s face with her foot.
Sharp shoved her foot back.
“You’re quiet.” Dash said, rubbing her foot against his cheek.
Sharp grabbed her foot and held it tightly.
Dash narrowed her eyes and stared at him. Ashanti held the same stare at Sharp, the two women almost challenging him to do something.
Sharp shoved Dash’s foot away again and went back to being still.
“Oh I get it. You’re being the ‘Brooding Hero’. Gotcha.” Dash chuckled.
Sharp rolled his eyes. “No I’m just trying to stop myself from doing anything I’ll regret later.” He said.
“Uh huh.” Dash said.
“Dash stop bothering him.” Twilight stated.
“Oh relax.” Dash said, jumping to her feet and putting an arm around Twilight. “So how do you feel about company.” She said, pointing to Ashanti and Sharp.
“It doesn’t really bother me.” Twilight said.
“And how do you feel about animals.” Dash asked.
“What?” Twilight asked.
There was a light tapping at the door.
Twilight stared curiously at Dash as she walked over to the door and opened it, “Ye-” She stopped herself as she saw Sal and Stormy right on her door step.
Sal stared silently at the purple furred woman in front of him.
Twilight sighed, “I really need some sleep…” She mumbled.
Sal walked inside and sat in front of Ashanti, propping her legs up on his back. Stormy took the initiative and started licking the bottom of her feet shortly after.
Ashanti bit her lip and giggled quietly.
Sharp sighed quietly before falling down towards the opposite side and closing his eyes.
“I’m going to be right back.” Twilight said as she walked upstairs.
“So.” Ashanti said.
Sharp grumbled quietly as he shifted around a little.
“Mm he’s sleepy.” Ashanti said softly, nuzzling against Sharp. Sal walked over silently and started tying a web around his feet.
“What are you doing?” Sharp asked.
Sal turned around and started walking, dragging Sharp with him.
“Stop it!” Sharp said.
“Make sure not to let go of the leash Sal, he’s very feisty.” Ashanti said.
“I’m not a wild animal!” Sharp stated.
“I beg to differ. Did you see yourself during sex?” Ashanti asked.
Sharp grumbled quietly and rolled his eyes.
Sal stopped and fell on top of Sharp.
Sharp grunted, “This isn’t all that comfortable for me.” He said.
Sal blinked a few times before almost sadly trudging off of him.
Sharp sighed. “It’s fine… You’re a lot more comfortable then the couch was.” He said.
Sal happily returned to the feathered pillow he was previous on top of.
Sharp sighed and closed his eyes again. He grunted as extra weight seemed to be put on him. He opened his eyes to see Ashanti on top of Sal, staring down at him.
“Yeah… go ahead… crush me…” He muttered quietly.
“Oh come on Sal, let’s let him sleep.” Ashanti said, her lower body fusing into Sal again as Sal slipped off of Sharp.
Sharp sighed quietly and stared up at Ashanti.
Ashanti held her arms open. “Come to momma…” She smiled.
Sharp stood up and wrapped his arms around Ashanti. “Can you… please not say that…” He asked in a whispered tone.
“Why not?” Ashanti laughed, resting his head to her chest where it belongs.
“It’s… kind of… still… fresh in my mind…” He mumbled as he nuzzled his head against her body.
“Oh I see.” Ashanti said, stroking his cheek and straightening the feathers on his head gently.
He smiled a little, “Thank you.” He said quietly as his eyes slowly closed.
“Yeah I’m tired too.” Dash yawned, falling back onto the couch.
“Okay the room’s re- Oh.” Twilight said as she teleported into the living room. Her eyes fell on Ashanti and they widened considerably. “Um…”
“Shhh.” Ashanti shushed, placing a finger to her lips, revealing the fangs in her mouth.
Twilight slowly stepped back.
Dash jumped up. “I’m bunking with Twilight.” She said, grabbing Twilight and tugging her towards the stairs.
“That sounds great!” Twilight said, her horn lighting up and teleporting them both into her room.
“Sleep tight…” Ashanti whispered, humming lightly as her warm embrace grew a little tighter around Sharp.
“You too.” Sharp said as he leaned up and affectionately nipped the end of her nose.
Ashanti kissed his beak slowly before moving his head back to her two pillows.
“Mmm…” He mumbled as he fell asleep.
Sal went limp, plopping onto the floor and passing out. Stormy jumped onto Sal’s back and curled up next to Sharp and Ashanti.
“See you in the morning.” Ashanti whispered.
