"Thranduil?" A distorted voice calls. Within seconds my mind comes rushing back into me. Unfortunately, my senses also come back too, sending flares of pain over my skin. A small groan makes its way out of me.
"Thranduil?" The voice repeats with more clarity. I open my eyes and see the ground several yards below me. I gasp at the height I am at and then close my eyes once more.
"Thranduil, its okay." Hesitantly, my eyes open and I see that I am ensnared in massive clumps of cobwebs. "See?" When I glance over my shoulder, I see Deryth, also wrapped in cobwebs.
That is when everything comes back. Hide and seek. Deryth. The spiders.
A new surge of anger goes through me and I push against the webs, trying to get out.
"I've already tried resisting. You won't get anywhere," Deryth says.
"How are we going to get out of this?" I whisper, mostly to myself. It is now that I notice that in all of the other webs around me are carcasses of animals. Then I hear a loud rumble.
"Deryth," I breathe. She doesn't respond because a giant spider comes crawling towards us, its pinchers clicking together. It comes close to me and some saliva drips on my face. I resist a shiver. The spider lets out an ear-pirecing shriek that summons more spiders towards us.
Even though I can't understand their tongue, one things is for sure-- they're ready to feast.
