The Life Of The Spider Novels & Stories

The spiders spat out more webs, sucking the balls of thunder to themselves before swallowing them whole. Wilbur took the opportunity to pounce at them once more, waving the halberd in his grip as he attacked and killed two spiders. At the same time, Tracy muttered his chants as a pillar of light came down from the sky and enveloped the black spiders. They wriggled furiously for a while before exploding to their death. Eventually, only one gigantic spider was left. It had now grown a whopping dozen or so meters but continued to feed on the corpses of its dead companions while spitting out webs around.

“So what you’re saying is that the spiders will only attack those who touch the treasures?” asked Gerald. Watching as Old Flint nodded, Gerald and his party were instantly shocked. To think that the spiders would actually select their prey… Meanwhile, Lech and his remaining team members were being swallowed alive by the gigantic spiders! It was truly a gruesome sight… Staring at Gerald—who was still standing by the door—the pitiful Lech who was getting devoured could only plead, “B-brother Crawford…! Please, save us…!”

After all, I was turning 20 in a couple of days. I still couldn't believe I was turning twenty though. It felt so unreal. I mean, it's me. I still felt so immature and unready for life; even though life had hit me hard a lot of times in the past. It's amazing how I've been through so much in just 19 years of my life. And all through my life, year 19 had to be the most dramatic and disastrous one. A lot had gone on in just this one year. In one year, I dated a murderer, serial killer and chronic abuser.

On the spider web, two tiny spiders were hanging out together. “Do you want to bet?” The blue spider asked the brown spider. “Bet that she wouldn’t survive the day?” The brown spider laughed. “I say that she will live for two days.” The blue spider said, “If I win, you will hunt the food for the next two days.” “If I win, you will hunt down mosquitoes for the next three days.” They were betting on my life while I was silently freaking out. Shit! I could understand spiders now. Understanding Dante's horse was crazy enough.

To this fucking mess. “Liam, please.” At that sweet plea, Spider found that he’d gone from ‘scared’ to ‘furious’, totally bypassing any and every other emotion as he did so. He stalked across the room now, flung the door open, glared at the man that he’d once offered to give up every single damn thing in his life for. The same man who had now taken every single damn thing in his life away, through sheer stupidity and carelessness and selfishness.

I reached inside for her warm presence, her strength, the way she used to curl around my heart when I was scared, and found only emptiness. But the thread told me she was alive and inside him, the man who killed me. Rhydian has her, he has my wolf. Rage rushed through me and my eyes reddened.

My body trembled with pain, cold sweat soaking my back. Even so, I laughed until the laughter gave way to tears. "Luca, you're right," I said. "I don't deserve it." I rose to my feet, staring past the shameless couple at the roaring fire. I staggered forward and bent down to pick up the severed finger from the floor.
