《Shadow’s World》35. Spiders!!!!
Advertisement
I woke up when a wave touches my face. The sun still hasn’t risen in the sky it was time to get up. I should leave the water before I get swept up in the waves and do not come back. I got up and was soaked from head to toe. I walk along the beach listening to the waves. I can feel a storm coming but it is a long ways away. We should be fine for the rest of the week. It took a while for me to dry off. I was waiting for the sun to rise so I could see the beauty of it. I want to see the warmth and beauty of the sun while I was cold wet and look like a mess. I want to compare beautiful to the best. The sun rose over the horizon and it was a beautiful sight to behold. I stood there looking at the sun for a few minutes and went back to the villa and took a shower and got dress.
My team hasn’t got up yet and Erica is back reading her book inside of the villa. “are you going outside today or hang around here for the entire week?” “I will leave the villa today I hope nothing big happens like getting a kiss by someone and not knowing what to do about it.” She snickers and I rolled my eyes to her and walk away from her. Wendy walks into the room, she smiles at me and I jumps out the open window. After I land I run away from the house. Why did I run away from her? Crap, good thing only two people saw me run away. I have no idea how to face Wendy also Erica after that awful display. Erica isn’t going to let me live that down all well have to figure out what to do about that girl Wendy. For now, let's avoid her for now. I am walking away from the villa to go to the pier to catch some fish when I see a spider. It looks like the spider that I was supposed to have burned a month ago, it vanishes in thin air. Well, now I am seeing things again this isn’t a good sign.

For two hold days, I avoid wendy and each time I saw Erica she was snickering when she saw me.it doesn’t matter I still do not know what to do with that girl. There was something else happening as well the spider keeps popping up in random places at random times and it started to freak me out. It was night time and everyone was getting to go to sleep. I was in the main room of the villa as everyone was getting ready for bed they all left to their rooms. Erica was in a spot in the corner reading her book. For some reason, I decided to wait a while for everyone else to go to their rooms before I went to mine. As I was going to my room Wendy comes back and walks up to me looking to talk to me. Yeah, well I jump at the window once again and flew away. Unlike last time it looks like she wasn’t to let me just run away so I did the next best thing there was no way for her to follow me up here. “You are just like the shadow. You both act like little kids when things don’t go your way.” Wait who was talking to me. I look around and see no one anywhere near me. I felt something touch my head. “Alex, I am on top of your head.” I put my hand on my head and I felt a spider. I throw it off my head and watch it fall to the ground. Instead of falling to the ground the spider shot a web at my chest and started to climb it. I grab the web and try to break it off but it was impossible to rip apart. I summon fire and try to burn the web but it doesn’t do anything. I try again with the wind to cut the web in half but the web stays intact. The spider was climbing up the web slowly like it was a horror movie. I start to get desperate and started to fly erratically trying to shake off this spider. Yet, nothing was working the spider climb to my chest and easily cut the web. “Hello, Alex, can you please stop acting crazy or you will get hurt.” “You are not real, I destroy you a month ago and there is no way for you to be here now.” The spider starts to laugh. “It is good to be young, stupid, and weak. You are only a small fish in a huge ocean that is coming you to the rest of this universe. Compare to me you are not even worthy of my time. Let me show you the difference between the both of us.” The spider walks to the middle of my chest. I try to swat it away but using its two limbs it easy block my hand. The spider shows me its huge fangs and lowers it on my chest, It piecer my chest causing huge pain to flow through my whole body. the world turns dark and I was floating in the middle of space. It was nothing like flying and I couldn’t feel the rest of my body. I look up and see a huge spider towering over me. It was bigger than a house. It was standing on a sphere with little lights poking out of them. The spider hover towards me and looks at me with its eight eyes. “See young man how small you are? This is my true size and do you know what I am standing on?” I shake my head. “These are entire universes.” He lefts one of them toward me, “See this thing here? This contain your entire universe in this little sphere. Now do you understand how little you are compare to me.” I nod my head. “Good it is time for you to wake up and say hi to your friends.” “Alex!! Alex?! Alex?!” I hear people yelling my name. My team was surrounding me as I lay in a crater. Well it looks like the monster let me crash into the ground.

# The Gemstone of Ominium 2 - Pain
Her unfazed expression didn’t even waver when the blade of her thin sword pierced one of the men all the way through armor, flesh and bone, a gurgling sound bubbling from his throat. With a kick she mercilessly pushed him back, freeing her blade, and glanced down at his dead body sprawled at her feet, confirming that death had indeed taken him. Stepping over the dead man’s body as if it were a mere pebble on her path, she raised her head just in time to see her second attacker lunge at her and, nimbly turning on her heels, she slit his throat. A spray of hot, sticky blood hit her left cheek and slid down her neck, but she didn’t even blink. The scent of the fresh blood filled her nostrils and her brain like an inebriating drug and she stepped forward once again, lightly turning to one side to avoid being decapitated and quickly returning the favor. One by one the men kept falling as she advanced, victims of her lethal, almost mechanical movements, as if she’d been born with a sword in hand and ready to kill …* This is a direct continuation of Book 1 - Denial.
