The Tales of the Cave of Horrors

Arachnophobia

My name is Reina. I am 16 years old. I have 2 siblings. Elizabeth, and Rory.
We lived in a village called Safnara. Those two cause a lot of trouble, and
usually I'm the one to clean it up. This time was no different. One day while
I was cleaning the stable in our barn, I heard my parents call for my
siblings. I went out of the stables to see what happened. “Elizabeth and
Rory are missing,” They had told me in a panic. I remember I was
extremely worried. I had a feeling where they had gone.
I was on my way into the woods to find the cave my siblings told me
about. Elizabeth and Rory loved to explore whenever they could, but since
they were only 10 years old they couldn't explore much. That didn't stop
them though. They told me of this cave they found. Apparently it was very
windy, and it was. They named it the Windy Cave. They told me where they
found it. Near the Kongulu Mountains. I had no idea they would go out that
far. The cave would be near the base of the Mountain. I had to climb up
the mountain to reach the entrance.
Kongulu Mountains. I remember when I was 10 my parents told me to
never go there. They said the Great Spider Queen resided there. I have
never gone there before. But I had to, because I had a feeling my siblings
were there. I went inside the cave and right when I got in I felt the chilly
breeze. Now I see why my siblings called it the Windy Cave. The cave was
mostly dark except for a strange white light glowing in the distance further in the cave. The cave had multiple caverns inside it. It was like a maze. But
there was a light glowing, and I followed that light. When I reached the
source of that light I saw strange white crystals. They were beautiful. I
understood why my siblings went there. Then I heard footsteps. I quickly
hide behind one of the crystals. The footsteps sounded strange. It sounded
like there were at least four people there. Then . . . I smelt it. The smell of
corpses.
When I smelt the corpses, I knew that the footsteps were not from
humans. I grew terrified. I peeked out of the crystal and saw 2
humongous spiders. They were 3 times the size of my dad. My dad
was 6 feet. I was terrified. I wanted to get out of there so badly, but I
remembered why I came there. Elizabeth and Rory. They are only 10
and they wouldn't survive attacking these things. I wouldn't survive. I
didn't bring any weapons. Then the worst happened. I saw two little
bodys on one of the spiders' backs. I quickly identified the bodies. It
was Elizabeth and Rory.
I grew outraged. My mind went red with anger. I grabbed a
crystal a little bigger than my hand and Sneaked behind the
Spiders and stabbed one in the head. It blacked out. The other
spider charged at me. It dropped my siblings and came
running with its fangs out. I tried to dodge but it sunk its fangs
into my arm. It was painful. I did what I thought was best and
chopped off my arm.
I was now fighting a giant spider with one arm. I threw
the crystal at its eye and ran toward my siblings. The
spider was shrieking because of the wound. When I
looked at my siblings I realized that they were gone. There wasn't a single drop of life in their bodys. I was
about to cry when I heard the spider shriek again. It was
running at me again. This time I managed to escape. I
ran towards the caverns and I eventually got out. I
realized that it was morning. I felt faint. I started
jumping down the mountain with little strength in my
body. I was losing too much blood. I wandered in the
woods and found a little spring with giant leaves
around.
I ran towards the spring grabbing one of the leaves with my hand
and started to clean my wound. I knew I had some venom in my body
that I needed to get out. I didn't have anything to flush it out so I just
wrapped the leaf around the stub that used to be my arm and hoped for
the best. With the last strength I had I walked to my village and was able to
catch the notice of a guard. He saw me and the last thing I saw before I
blacked out was my parents running towards me with the guards.
When I woke up I saw my mother. She had a worried expression. I then
remembered everything that happened. I started to cry. My mom was
confused and my dad came into the room. I told them what happened
and they cried as well.
My parents told me what happened after I blacked out. They noticed my
missing arm and the blood on me. They took me to the healer and the
healer told them that the spider venom was weak but it was a miracle I
was able to survive for so long with it in me. I was healed but there is still
some of the venom in me.
A few days after my arrival, we held a funeral for my siblings. I swore my
vengeance against the creatures that killed them. I left my hometown and came here to the capitol looking for help. Now I am 24 years old and I still
haven't killed those spiders. Now what is your story, Sir Andrew?
