Lover's Betrayal

Chapter 5

Skull Pov

As I find the tuft of fake grass, I step on it. The building appears in front of me, and I open the door to hear "I may or may not have a crush on him." I pause, and they turn to me, ___'s biggest spider appearing as a natural defense. She looked embarrassed, with flushed cheeks the color of dusty roses.
"What did you hear?", her brother questioned.
"Nothing." I lied.

___ sighed, relieved. The red in her cheeks faded, but the spider stayed out. She walks over to it, the spider coming up to her waist, meeting her half way. She pulls out a bottle of black liquid, and feeds it to him, the spider purring. She looks over at her brother, and nods. He starts walking over to me, and lightly grabs my arm.
"Lets take a walk, now shall we? See you later ___!"

We walk out, and he pulls me over to the side. He looks up and down, sizing me up. He does not look happy.

Your Pov

You feed your spider motor oil, and it purrs. Petting it, you strangely feel a sense of security, and overwhelming calmness. You sit down next to your spider, leaning on it, and fall asleep.

You dream of floating in darkness, not seeing a single thing. Your feet suddenly hit the floor, and you can't move. A light shines down, and you see you are standing on the same tile that is in your kitchen. A figure appears out of the shadows, and slowly walks towards you. You recognize her as the woman who gave you your spiders, Lady Aranas. As she's walking, she speaks.

"Why hello, my child. Are you enjoying my gifts?", she questions, with a Spanish accent.
"Of course. I love them. They are my best company sometimes, for all they do is listen and comfort.", you reply, a smile on your face as your body relaxes. You walk towards her, giving her a friendly hug. This was much more pleasant than your first time seeing her. You both sit at the table, chatting, before deciding it's time for you to wake. Before you leave, she gives you another gift.
"A dress, my child, for the most special of occasions, made of black and frostbite spider's silk. If in danger, it hides you in its darkness. Otherwise, it is made to stand out. There is no finer dress in the country. Besides," she winks," I know there is somebody who has caught your eye."

You blush, and wake up. Ray was leaning over you, watching you as you slept. Once you open your eyes, he leans back.
"That was the best sleep you've had in weeks, kid. You still tired?"He asks as he picks you up bridal style. You retract your spider into you, and look up at him.
"Hmmmm. Nope.", you smile.
He carries you to the kitchen, and sets you down in one of the chairs.
"How long was I out?" You ask.
This time, Aylin answers. "A good couple hours, at least."
You nod, and everybody starts eating. You finish first, and head to the sink, starting the dishes. Surprisingly, it's Skull that finishes next.
"You need any help?"He offers.
"That would be nice. Thanks."
You finish the dishes with his help, you hand brushing against his every so often. It felt like little sparks against your hand, but you kept your composure.
"Good night everybody."
"Good night ____", they reply, and Ray starts walking up the stairs with you, headed to his room. You get to yours, and for once in your life, you sleep that night, like a normal person.
