Along Came A Spider Novel Novels & Stories

And then I saw it. Emerging from the shadows at the far end of the corridor was a spider. But it wasn’t just any spider. This thing was massive—its body the size of a small car, its legs long and spindly, tipped with razor-sharp points that clicked against the stone as it moved. Its eyes, all eight of them, glowed a sickly yellow, fixed on me with a predatory hunger. I froze, my breath catching in my throat. “Run, little witch,” Jacob’s voice whispered, almost tender.

Staying around there for too long would make the spiders feel unsafe and I didn’t want to get there one day only to find them gone. ‘I can never get used to them.’ I rolled my eyes at Carmine’s words. I was getting closer… I could already hear the soothing sound of water flowing and smell its freshness. I can’t remember exactly when I found the spiders but they remind me of a pet bat I once had, Simon. Mom got it killed when Simon flew into her room. I was seven. ‘Shit, Alyssa, no negative thoughts. No negative thoughts.’ The only thing calmer than the walk to Jade River—yes, I named it…

Multiple something's. I looked down and my life flashed before my eyes. Spiders, thousands of baby spiders and crickets. Why? "Ahhhhhhh." I screamed as one landed on my bare arm. I shook vigorously to get them off. I was quick to hop from foot to foot out of the bathroom as thousands of little spiders followed. "Help." I screamed to nobody in particular. I needed help. They were killer spiders. I had seen a book on them. A high breed spider that I should've never been able to create.

“But… God, that aroma is tempting.” “Please,” I said softly, spooning a bit into the bowl. “Just a little. It’ll help your strength.” Before she could answer, the door burst open. Spider rushed in, his face flushed and his shirt half untucked. His eyes widened the moment he saw me. “Elena.” “Spider?” I blinked, startled. “What are you doing here?” He ignored me completely and turned to the nurse. “Don’t let her eat that.” “What?” Celia frowned. “Excuse me?”

The leaves rustled above us. Then— A shadow moved. It slithered across the ground, silent and deliberate, creeping toward us with unnatural patience. The air thickened, heavy and suffocating. The presence was wrong, dark, like something lurking just outside reality, waiting for the right moment to strike. The shadow shifted, condensing into something smaller. A spider. It crawled up Ella’s neck, its thin, spindly legs moving with eerie precision. It hesitated for a moment, as if savoring the moment—then its fangs struck.

"Daddy, can you come home earlier next time? I missed you so much." "Daddy, when I grow up, I'll buy you a huge house." "Daddy... will I even grow up?" "Don't cry, Daddy. I love you." Now she lay there, silent. No more voice. No more warmth in her hand. It felt like my heart had been ripped out slow, piece by piece. Regret and despair crushed my chest until I could barely breathe. In the end, only one thing was left. "Stella, I love you too."

June yelled. Dante jumped on the spider’s back, ripped the glass off its center, and tore out the burning coal. He hurled it at the wall. The spider shut down and crashed. Marcus and Raven took out the other two spiders, smashing their legs with metal pipes. When they finished, they stood breathing hard, faces smeared with black dust. The giant vault door started to spin, groaning open. Inside, the room looked part library, part science lab—thousands of books lined the walls, but the books were made of gold sheets.

Molly: "Where the hell did I leave those papers?" I heard Farrell say, and then he rummaged through the rack of books. I hitched my breath for a while, hoping he would hurry up and leave. I was in the least favorable position, and cobwebs got in my way, making me really uncomfortable. Suddenly, I heard something fall. "Fuck!" I heard him growl. At that moment, I heard the door open. Then I heard his voice outside in the hallway. I tried to steady my breath, but then I saw a huge spider in front of me, making me yelp in fear.

I adjusted my hands so that it won't fall. I took a closer look at it. It was a spider. It was so small and yellow. It looked so cute and I moved my hand closer to my eyes to take a good look. Suddenly it stopped moving and I could see its eyes. Three pairs of black eyes staring straight at me. It was so fascinating that I didn't know how long I was looking at it and I forgot that I was in school with some boy standing near me. A sudden voice made me come out of the trance. "V, come on let's go." I saw another boy calling the boy near me to join him. And just like that, he runs to his friend leaving me there alone.

“The time we’ve wasted and lost.” “But then you showed up here two days ago, at long fucking last,” Spider said. “When you stormed in like some lovesick teenaged Romeo and said that you loved her, I was ready to dance on the goddamn tables, I swear. I pretended to not know you, but I let you stay here and hang out. I pushed her to talk to you, and I promised myself that if you two sorted it out between you, I’d finally tell you about the gun. And now I have.”
