She's a Spider

Everyone had their best friends, Victoria Keller did too, and her name was Diane Haynes, and they were inseparable. So, when there was a field trip there was no discussion that Victoria and Diane were going to go together, until the teacher made the two girls' partner with the new girl Charlotte. The new girl was quiet and had very long white-ish hair and black eyes and had these black earrings that looked like little black pearls. "Victoria, Diane, I'm sure you are willing to work with a fellow student on the field trip. Right?" The teacher asked, even though the only answer the teacher was willing to accept was a yes. "Uh, yes?" Diane replied unsurely. "Great, hopefully after the trip you'll be great friends! Alright class..." The teacher responded and then began to teach the class.

Victoria~

It had been one week, and the trip was in 2 days, I kept noticing Charlotte staring at us a lot, and it was weird, as well as at lunch she wasn't eating at all. Class gossiper Gemma Roberts started to make rumors about Charlotte. I felt bad but again I wasn't really friends with her, and she was being a bit creepy but maybe she was just lonely and wanted to be friends with me and Diane. So, when the day came for the trip, I was willing to make friends with her so she'd not be lonely and that she'd stop staring, and maybe, just maybe, Gemma could shut her yapper.

The teacher huddled us into a bus and drove us to the woods. It was a forest with cabins and a pond, as well as a sign saying, 'Welcome to Camp Woodrow". The groups each had their own cabins, well it depends on how many people. Each cabin could carry 4 people, the other groups were either 2 people or 4 people so since our group was an odd number the teacher was in our cabin. As I walked into the cabin, it was cozy, but I was scared a spider was going to come inside so I packed bug spray, until I realized it wasn't there. I panicked until Diane told me she brought a spare; she knew of my fear of spiders and brought it for me, and I couldn't have been more relieved. Before bedtime a large spider came in and I screamed and pulled out the bug spray, sprayed it on the nasty bug and stomped on it. Charlotte's expression was frozen, as a tear fell down her cheek as she watched the bug die.

I couldn't sleep, I could feel something watching me. It was cold and snowing outside and the quiet cold air wouldn't let me sleep. "Hey" I heard a word, it was Charlotte, it was the first word she ever said to me. "I can't sleep. Wanna go exploring?" She said smiling, there was an eerie feeling, but I told myself I'd try to be friends with Charlotte, so I agreed. "Okay, where are we going?" I replied. "You know, I think I know a place. My parents take me here all the time during the summer." she said excitedly. I didn't want to hurt her feelings and went with her. She took me to a cave, and I was getting scared, and once it was dark, suddenly, she smiled and said in a creepy sounding voice "Its pretty stupid to follow a stranger into a dark cave at night..." "What?" I replied confused. Her eyes went all black and she turned into a white spider with a human top half. I screamed and ran the other way, but I saw spiders, thousands with red eyes in front of me. Charlotte and the spiders said in unison "This is what you get for killing one of my sisters" "what?" I stuttered, and then I realized... the spider I killed in the cabin...

They attack me with red poison, and I scream for help as I collapse, the last thing I saw was long white hair, and spiders covering my body...

Diane~

I heard a scream, and so did the teacher. Charlotte walks into the cabin with red around her lips. "Hello Diane" she said eerily. "Where is Victoria?" The teacher asked confused.

"I don't know, I just went to get some strawberry jam!" Charlotte said laughing.

I never saw Victoria again, well no... I saw her on tv on a missing person's report, and a picture of a body covered in black spiders with red eyes in a cave. Charlotte moved away 1 week later, weird and I knew I missed something important... what really happened... and now, even 13 years later, and I still miss Victoria. Now I'm a detective, trying to solve cases like her's.

REFERENCES~

I named the spider girl charlotte because it's a reference to "Charlotte's web"

The black pearl earrings charlotte wears are actually spider eyes from her spider half.
