Spider's Wrath

Chapter 1

The walls protect. The walls block. The walls stop the mysteries of the outside world. The walls were created by 4 cities known as Lara, Tira, Shimba, and Vleara. When the cities built the walls they said it was to stop all kinds of creatures like Driders, Shifters, Vampires, Werewolves, and other mythical creatures.

No one truly knows what is beyond the walls anymore. If you tried leaving they told you to stay on the path or face judgment. When people strayed from the path they were never heard from again.

Not many people went outside the walls because they lived in fear. I have been outside the walls to see what no one else has. Whenever I went out I think I heard a voice calling my name.

My name is common and people just pass me by. My name is Amy and I work at the flower shop near the city of Lara. You see a lot of people by the flower shop because certain flowers are hard to find.

My personal favorite flower is a black rose, but those are extinct. I have a pressed black rose in a book about spiders which I read under a tree outside the walls.

I was going there now to finish the book.

“Hey, Amy!” My friend Sasha was yelling for me. “Where are you going?”

“You know precisely where I am going,” I said in my British accent.

“I don’t think you should go there anymore.” She said with worry in her voice.

“Why not?” I say. “It’s a good day for it.”

“It may be a good day for it. It’s just I don’t think you should go.” Sasha said sadly.

“What has gotten into you? You seem so distant like you’ve seen a ghost.” I said with a hint of confusion.

Sasha just stood there devoid of motion like she truly had seen a spooky creature. Sasha was always an optimistic person, so it took a lot to scare her. If she did get scared she would tell me right away, but now she was petrified.

“I..it is just I...I don’t think it would be a good idea to leave the walls for a while at the very least.” Sasha stuttered out.

At this point, I think I might as well ask her what’s wrong. “Sasha, what is wrong?” I said gently.

Sasha looked up at me and stared. She just stared at me for what seemed like an eternity.

“Sasha, may I stay at your house tonight?” I ask. Maybe if I can stay the night she might tell me later.

Sasha broke into a wide grin and grabbed my hands. “Yes!” She said excitedly. “Come on!”

She started dragging me away to get to her house. Her house was just enough for her and her boyfriend. The house was yellow with a bubble-like roof.

“Hey, guys!” Thomas yelled. He was Sasha’s boyfriend.

“Hey, Tom,” I said. “How are you?”

“I’m fine and dandy as Christmas candy.” He said in a joking manner.

We laughed at that. I hope times like this will last forever. We went inside and made dinner. After dinner, Sasha decided to go to bed, so I decided to ask Tom some questions.

“Umm Tom, have you noticed anything different about Sasha? She seems different.” I asked cautiously.

“Well, a few days ago we went outside the walls. When we got outside the walls she wanted to see what was off the path. Of course, I said no, but she didn’t listen.” Tom said. “I wonder ever since then what she saw. It’s been bugging me all this time.”

I looked at Tom and quietly asked. “What kind of thing would you think she saw?”

Tom thought for a moment and said. “I do not know. There is not much out there other than the forest.”

“Maybe she saw a mythical creature.” I inquired.

“They are called mythical creatures for a reason ya know. It means they don’t exist.” Tom rebutted. “So I doubt that it was that.”

“I believe in them,” I said as calmly as possible because the way he said that they were just myths pissed me off.

“Well I am not going to stop you from what you believe,” He said, “but I will tell you this. If there is some creature out there I will kill it.”

The way his eyes darkened when he said that truly made him look murderous. All and all I should figure out what is going on with Sasha. I said good night to Tom and went to my room.

Spider’s POV

As I looked into the Stream of Seeing I saw her speaking with that fowl man Tom. I will have my Amy soon and all thoughts who deny me my Rose shall burn.
