THIRD PERSON'S POV.
The hairs on the back of River Lawrence's neck stood up as her widened eyes took in the sight before her and her club mates. Hanging from the ceiling in Sibuna's eyesight was a monstrous spider. Taking a double-take at it, River found that the gigantic spider was actually made of stainless steel. Still, even though the spider wasn't real, it made River's blood run cold, because it was a truly terrifying sight.
Although it was evident the spider was fake after taking a double-take at it, there was still one member of Sibuna who thought it was real. Amber Millington, who had her hands over her eyes.
"Just remember: you can't see it," Amber told herself. "It's not there. It's not real. It's not real."
Nina stepped forward to the spider, staring at it in awe as her fingers lingered upon it.
"It's not real, Amber," Fabian said before joining Nina's side.
"That's right, Fabian. Say it with me."
As Alfie and Patricia stepped toward the spider, River sighed and shook her head amusedly at her blonde friend.
River lowered Amber's hands from her eyes, saying, "It's not real."
"Oh." Amber's shoulders dropped before she flicked her hair over it. "I knew that."
River gave her friend a look of disbelief, but didn't say more as she and Amber stepped between Patricia and Alfie, joining the rest of their gang who marvel led at the spider.
Nina held the spiders' head as an epiphany hit her. "Guys, I think this is what we've been looking for." Satisfied grins were shared around the group of six, knowing exactly what Nina was speaking of. "The spider that fits in the hole in the task room."
Fabian took the fake spider off it's hook and stared at its stomach, finding something else written on it. "To pass beyond the weaver's throne, lay her daughters in their home. Move with care through her poisoned loom. The scarlet thread may spell your doom."
Fabian looked up to his friends, who all shared shocked glances as silence fell upon them. That was until River broke it. "'Spell your doom'? Well, that's lovely."
"Spider's weave webs," Patricia spoke up. "So is that where her throne is? The big web in the tunnel."
"But who are her daughters and where are they?" Amber asked, only earning confused expressions from everyone.
"Okay, we need to go down and check the map," Nina suggested. "Tonight."
"Maybe we should, uh, synchronise schedules," Alfie began with a grin, only earning a confused frown from his fellow prankster, "because tonight's Fabian and Joy's first date."
