"stay.." he said as we held eye contact.

"i'm no harm-"

"you are!" i shouted as he jumped slightly.

"you replaced me." i said, with no emotion in my face whatsoever as he watched my lips form my words.

"go" i said to him as i grabbed onto his hands laying on my waist and pushed them away.

he kept himself above the water, still keeping eye contact with me as i hissed at him.

he still stared for a moment, before dragging himself out of the water and walking off into the distant trees.

he was weird.

he knew he replaced me, but still played the victim in this game of his.

this game of his where he is willing to talk to me but scared to at the same time.


(spiders pov)

i jumped onto my hammock, immediately causing ruckus to the hammock above me.

shit.. i thought.

without surprise, jakes head leaned over the edge of his hammock as his exhausted eyes tried to stay awake.

"why are you wet?" he asked me as i looked down on the droplets of water on my body, "and your hair? why is it wet? where were you? you know it's not allowed to-"

"Yes I know!" i snapped.

"i was just... following rektiyah.." i added as jakes eyes quickly widened.

"where is she?!" he said in an alarming tone.

"the lake"

"where we found her last time-"

"YES!" i shouted as he punched my shoulder.

"stay. quiet. monkey boy" he said as his large body jumped onto my hammock and climbed onto the nearest branch.

i knew he was out to get rektiyah.. so i followed him, although i knew he would get annoyed.

he fell to the ground 5 seconds before me, and when he did, he immediately turned around, already forming a face of anger.

"GO TO BED SPIDER" he said, "i'm coming with you" i said as he exhaled, already making a run for it.

i ran behind him, although losing him rather quickly after, i followed his footsteps marked on the ground until the footsteps had stopped.




i looked up to see jake looking around.

"where is she?" he looked around, not batting a single eye my way.

"WHERE IS SHE?" he now shouted as i shouted back "I DONT KNOW"

"SHE WAS HERE THE LAST TIME I SAW HER" i added.

jake walked around the lake, looking in every direction as i panicked slightly.

where could she have gone?

"her footsteps.." jake whispered as it immediately caught my attention.

he started following the footsteps as i walked behind him.

his posture, so strong, he looked keen to finding rektiyah.

i mean- so was i.

"footsteps are further apart, she started running" jake said as he picked up his pace slightly.

"she's quick.." i said.

"listen monkey boy, i need you to stay focused and not comment on irrelevant bullshit"
