Eliatrope

Arachnid Web

Of course, Eva didn't open the door all the way, just a crack. She held the door ajar so that we could all get a look inside the dim lit room. In fact the only light the room had received was from the moon shining from the one window it had. Thankfully the moon was bright enough to give us enough glare to see something moving. Hold on... Something is moving... Oh no! What is it?! We all gasped at the sudden movement.

"What can it be?!" Amalia inquired.

"Uh..." Yugo said as he bravely took a step inside the room. "Ruel is that you?"

"Yugo!" Eva said and grabbed him gently by the shoulder, "stay nearby and stay alert!" She demanded, "it's getting close."

Amalia shuddered at the thought and I stood close to Eva. How was Yugo so brave?

We couldn't see the movement of the being because the room was too dark and the moonlight wasn't bright enough, so all we could do was stand still, looking in the shadows of the room, hoping the breaths we took wouldn't be our last. We could hear some minor movement, but then something shined perfectly in the moonlight, causing our attention to be directed towards it. It came closer and closer until-

Oh, it's just a Kama. Scared you didn't I? "A coin." Yugo said stating the obvious.

"Yeah, so...?" I asked looking down at the gold coin that we could see perfectly on the floor due to Eva's lantern that she just kinda poofed from out of nowhere in the last chapter. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that by this point, we were all standing inside the room. Wow, I just realized this is just like any other scary movie. We hear stuff, we see stuff, some of us go missing, and the rest of us walk right to our deaths. Perfect, just perfect.

"If there's a Kama rolling on this boat, that means Ruel's no longer here." Eva filled me in. Oh duh, why didn't I think of that? Wait does that mean he's dead? Honestly, why can't the thing just kill off Amalia? Sure Ruel was stinky but jeez, at least he's not annoying. (Once again, R.I.P Amalia fans.) Eva then passed the lantern of great light and magic poofing ability to Amalia as she walked slowly further into the room. What was she thinking?! She didn't get very far before she turned around and shrugged. But of course, the stupid thing just had to go after her! One of the most amazing characters on the show! Before she knew what hit her, she was on her stomach being dragged away from us. All three of us, Amalia, Yugo, and myself, gasped as Eva begged for help. I guess you could say she was rather... helpless. We were all too shocked to do anything as we simply gaped at her. She tried desperately to drag herself away from what was pulling her into the shadows. However, she only seemed to anger what was grabbing her because it pulled on her harder and more violently.

"E-Evangelyne!" Yugo exclaimed as he finally snapped out of the shock. He nimbly ran to her and pulled her hand.

"I think it's my turn!" She yelled terrified. Just looking into her eyes you could see the fear. She knew what was going to happen. She was going to die, just like Dally and Ruel. Or at least get very sick or something. I should learn to be more positive. Yugo pulled on her arm desperately but he only managed to pull her glove to safety as her scream echoed until it had faded, leaving us to stare at where she had once been.

At this point, I think the water is safer than the ship. "Evangelyne!" We all called out together.

I looked up at Amalia and noticed she had tears forming in her deep brown eyes, "Eva!" She cried, "no!" She somehow manged to hold out that 'no' for about ten minutes before kneeling down in front of Yugo and grabbing him by the shoulders. "Yugo!" She cried, "I think I'm going crazy!" Wait, she's just now realizing this? The poor little Eliatrope was completely caught off guard by her actions, but who could blame him? "I can't take it any more!" She continued. Oh no. I see it... It's... It's another usage of foreshadow... But no! Yugo no! Stop! Ankama is going to make you fall in love with her! No!

I spaced out deep into my thoughts and completely missed the rest of her mental break down fore I was too busy mentally beating my inner self with a hammer for having those awful thoughts that Ankama could possibly make Yugo and Amalia become cannon. No way. Nope. They wouldn't dare... Would they? BANG! I hit my inner self again. They definitely wouldn't ship Yugo and Amalia, what was I thinking?

By the time I snapped out of my thoughts, I noticed Amalia was on the rail of the ship, "I'll jump if you don't agree!" She yelled. My inner thoughts were screaming, 'do it,' but I thought that would be rude to say out loud. So for now I just watched the hilarious scene take place before my eyes. Even though I was confused as to what she was making Yugo agree to. I looked over at Yugo only to see him giving her a bored expression. "Okay," she said and her eyes began to tear up again, "see you Yugo." And with that, she had jumped. OR DID SHE?!

Looking back at Yugo, expecting some heroic running and jumping from him, I was surprised to find him still standing there with that same bored expression on his face. Wait, he doesn't care about her! Yes! Ankama has gained more respect than I thought possible. Oh wait, I hear something. A voice, a familiar voice. She didn't jump. I guess that's good though because I will admit she adds comedy and with out her, life would be kinda boring. "What are you waiting for?!" She asked shocked, "save me!" She proceeded to demand.

"You can be really annoying when you want to be Amalia." Yugo stated. Whoa! He's a complete savage! "Let's go down to the hole. The sun will be rising soon anyway." Seeing as how I spaced out earlier, I was completely and utterly confused as to what deal they had worked out, but I was just going to wing it.

"But not soon enough!" Amalia argued, causing Yugo's eyes to widen. She crossed her arms after climbing back aboard the ship and glared down at Yugo, who gave that same bored expression when she did so. I shrugged as if to say, 'sorry' but I kinda thought it was funny she was torturing someone besides me for a change. It was at this moment I realized the magic lantern Eva had given to her, somehow vanished from existence. Illuminati confirmed.

We all eventually went down to the hole, but our hideout till sunrise didn't work very well. Amalia was now stuck in some sort of web like fiber that was holding her in place. She begged for help and both Yugo and I began to tear at the fiber, to our dismay, it was a spider web and we couldn't tear it.

Shortly after we could hear the faint sound of laughter, which Amalia tried to get mad at us for. The laughter became louder and Amalia spoke again, "what is that awful thing?" She asked as something shot a spider web over her mouth to shut her up. I smirked to myself and made sure Yugo and Amalia weren't looking when I did.

I looked in the direction the web had came from and saw something dark with an oddly familiar face. As we approached it told us that we knew it somehow. But, how could we know something we've never met before?
