6 Recluse fang! part 1

When I woke up it was sad to acknowledge but Darrius seemed to be sick, his odds of survival was going down rapidly Lanni took care of him these past two days so i'd just leave it up to her. When Darrius saw I woke up his whole face brightened up, like I was a sun providing him warmth on cold days like this, he thanked me for the items I gave him and I just smiled. What else could I do he might be the same age as me but he still has the mentality of a kid, he's gone through so much in the past 2 days so I think its best if we find some place safe to stay."Lets head toward the mall, maybe we can find some stuff we need."

Everyone nodded and we set off.

It was a 2 hour walk and we came across some enemies, we fought some and avoided some, we also encountered people, but we couldn't be sure if they were friendly or not so we avoided them, I also acquired 4 souls for my amulet. But after we got there we had to decide who would go in, naturally I thought it'd be me but Lanni volunteered to go in. Obviously I declined her offer but she was persistent.

"You deserve a break Andre, just wait here." She tried to convince me again but I answered

"No We all know I'm the strongest so let me go."

She looked at me with pitiful eyes and said, "just rest" im sure your skeletons would agree. I looked at my skeletons and there bones started to rattle as if they were telling me they agreed so I started to get aggravated, "Fine, then you guys can go with her." There bones started to rattle again and they rushed into the mall Lanni smirked and followed suit. I turned around and kicked a rock.

"Well. We might as well look around while we wait." Darrius said while smirking.

"Sure." Emma accepted.

I followed behind them, until we were in the parking lot, when we stepped inside I heard a dinging noise.

Before I could react emma shouted "Spiders!"

I looked at a nearby pole and they lay a tarantula that seemed to be 7 foot in length accompanied by a slightly smaller one, I slowly started to back up wanting so badly to escape "Gu-" before I could finish I was interrupted.

"So… You are the humans who dare step foot into my fathers territory!"

I looked in the direction the voice was coming from and made eye contact with a beautiful woman, she had pale white skin and blue hair, her teeth were black and her eyes were dark blue. I couldn't help but be infatuated with her.

"What are you staring at human?!" She paused then added. "Actually, now that I look at you closely... your not disgusting like the other humans." "Grab themtake them to the nest."

Before I could react my heart started to pump faster and my chest started to burn because what came from behind her seemed to be a man covered in hair, he had 6 legs and a muscular build, his aura could be sensed from miles away, anyone who couldn't figure out he had ill intentions was an idiot, but those weren't the things that scared me, I have a severe case of arachnophobia.

We made are way into a nearby tunnel following behind unwillingly. The tunnel was full of webs, it was soft to the touch and sunk in with every step, the moisture inside the tunnel heavily effected my breathing. I could tell Darrius expected he wouldn't make it out, He only had one arm, he was ill and he was never in a situation like this what else could he expect.

Once we reached the nest my blood ran cold. There were 7 humanoid things covered with web inside, there skin seemed to be dried out, there eyes were missing, they were curled into a ball with no clothes in sight and hair seemed scarce. I stumbled back, bumping into Darrius, he looked at me with a look that begged me for help, but I just couldn't I tried to conquer my fear years ago but I ended up failing. I felt eyes on me and a strong aura, as I stood up noticing we were being watched, I opened my inventory and pulled out my blue-middle grade sword and held it in front of my body, I honestly started to regret telling my skeletons to go with Lanni I should've known something like this would happen.

I started to flex my muscles at the sound of laughter, the hostility and pitch of the sound made me shake. It soon faded and the same woman from earlier appeared from the darkness of the nests sides.
