Spiders Crawl

Twenty

"Ok...." I quickly picked up her weapons and put them in her bag. If I were an assassin, I would be embarrassed for my victim to see the kind of weapons I had to kill them with.

"Let me out!" She struggled against the webs holding her down.

"I don't think so. I'll just wait for the cops to come." I leaned on the alley wall and started dialing 911.

"You think the cops can arrest me?" She laughed. Not a good sign.

"No, but it'll at least let me go on with my life. If you escape, I'll just find you again." I said confident. She scoffed. I told the cops where I was and waited until I heard sirens, before going up to the roof. As I watched her being taken away, I couldn't help but feel guilty. She obviously looked stronger and more prepared than any other criminal I've seen, and the fact that she specifically targeted me...nah. You're just overreacting, Charlotte.

I shook my head and continued on my night shift.

...

I went back to Pete's house at around 5 in the morning. He was asleep so I figured I'd just wake him. I tapped on the glass and he jumped up, sticking to the ceiling. I laughed and apologized while he let me in.

"It's almost morning. Shouldn't you be home by now?" He said sleepy. I waved off the suggestion and continued talking.

"No way. I'm way to hyped up now. I really needed this y'know." I told him. He smiled. 

"Well, that's good, but I need sleep. So do you." He opened the window and pushed me out.

"Aw...ok. Oh! Before I forget, there was this woman trying to kill me. She's with the cops now." I jumped out of the window before he could grab me.

"Charlotte, what?!"

...

I opened my bedroom window and slipped in. I was in the process of taking off my mask when Harry's voice popped up.

"Charlotte?" He stopped dead in his tracks. I was still in my suit and freaking out. No one moved or said anything. I figured I would have to do something before he said something. "W-What? Is that you?"

I grabbed a nearby baseball I had and whacked him. He fell with a thud and I started to freak out even more. I dropped the bat and made sure he was breathing, I placed my fingers under his nose and felt a breath. I sighed in relief and closed the door.

I'm dead. What am I gonna do with him?

I took a few breaths and convinced myself that my identity was still safe. I can make it seem as if he were dreaming. I picked him up and was thankful that I had super strength, or else I would have to drag him.

I carefully placed him on his bed and tried to make it seem as if he never left. He started to move and I ran back to my room and locked the door.

Minutes later, I heard footsteps approaching, and changed my clothes as fast as I could.

"Hey, Char, you there?" He knocked on the door. I was putting on my pants while I replied, "Yeah, hold on a minute!" Opening the door, I made my sleepiest face ever.

"What's up?"

"You ok?" He rubbed his head.

"Yeah, why wouldn't I?" Man, it was so hard pretending to be sleepy.

"I thought I saw someone here before. They were wearing some sort of..." He stopped mid-sentence. "Nah, nevermind. Mind if I stay with you tonight?"

I was relieved he didn't say anything about the person, but I could feel my cheeks get warm at the last part. "Uh, sure. What for?"

He avoided my gaze. "I don't know. I guess I got used to us sleeping in the same bed?"

I let out a small laugh and let him in. I made sure my costume was hidden before I jumped onto the bed. "Keep your hands to yourself this time." I warned him. He raised his hands in surrender and nodded.

I went to close the door when a weird feeling washed over me. It felt as if someone was...watching me.

"I'll be back. Bathroom." I told Harry and walked out. I searched the hallway and even listened for any footsteps. I walked past Norman's office, and my spider sense kicked in. Deciding to not seem too suspicious, I went back to my room and found Harry already sleeping.

Great. Didn't even wait for me. At least he left me space.

I yawned and shrugged off any leftover feelings of uneasiness.
