'The Scout'
'Arrows, Bombs & Eyes of Fire'
Chapter 22 / by; mike hurleyMatt Mayton stood at the caves edge & looked 50 feet below at the raging river. He wondered how far down he'd sink if he jumped. He held onto a small tree & leaned way out & looked straight down at the tiny shoreline; just enough room for a person to stand between the river & cliffs. He closed his eyes & tried to shake off his nightmare. He and the other 13 awoke 20 minutes ago all scared, & creeped out over their nightmares. Matt hated spiders & in his dream, had been chased at night through a dense old forest by 5 giant black widows. He was beyond terrified as he ran. He tripped several times & felt a line of silk shoot & stick to his legs. He quickly sliced it off, got up & ran.
He soon stopped screaming as he had no idea if spiders could hear.He climbed over a log & didn't see the wolf spiders web; Matt jumped right into it & felt teeth rip his right foot off. The spider was below & licked his bleeding leg. Matt sliced at it repeatedly before the strongest black widow arrived & sunk its stinger into his chest. He was instantly paralyzed and felt nothing as the black widow stood on him & fought the massive wolf spider. Suddenly he heard hissing as the widow stabbed the wolf spider & paralyzed it too.
He stared straight ahead, his eyes wouldn't move but he could still blink. He was soon dizzy as the widow spun him in silk. He felt nothing as he stared at the widows red hourglass but watched it suck blood out of his open leg wound. He screamed to who ever was listening to please kill him. He cried and screamed for his mother.
The nightmare had scared the life out of him.
He thought about jumping & killing himself, fearful the spider was real and would find him tonight. He was young, just 21 years old and had volunteered to help Henderson hunt the Scout and the girl named Amy. He had heard she was beautiful & asked Henderson if he could have a turn enjoying her. Henderson grinned and said, you'll be next after I fill her.But the spider nightmare changed everything for the young man. He watched the raging waters flow over boulders and decided he was heading back to the Rebel camp. He felt his evil dream was a premonition of worse things to come.
He turned to find his twin brother & convince him to join him.Suddenly he felt fire under his arm, he turned to see a pink arrow protruding from his chest.
It shot right through one of his heart valves.
He blacked out & fell into the river; dead on impact.His brother Danny saw him fall & screamed 'Matt' and ran to the ledge. He looked below & thought he saw a pink arrow protruding from his brothers blood red chest. He swore & dove for the ground just as a 2nd pink arrow penetrated his left eyeball with a thud. The arrows momentum spun him backwards & into the river. He was dead.
Ty watched as Amy loaded another arrow and was beyond impressed. Amy was both beautiful and deadly. She knew how to please him in bed and kill men silently; like a black widow spider.
They lay in a clump of red bushes at a small outcropping 10 feet above the cave and 35 meters away. He watched her fingers seemingly massage the string of her bow, becoming one with death. Ty was overwhelmed with how surreal this all seemed. Hours earlier, Amy's female inner folds were soft and sweet as they massaged his manhood & made him loose all control; his seed spilling into her womb, in a flurry of thrusts and moans.
Now her fingers played the bow's string like a violin a second before she launched death into a man who wanted to rape her. He realized Amy was a multi talented woman who knew how to take care of herself. Scouts were highly experienced in silent bow & arrow weaponry, but this gorgeous girl laying next to him was way better. He had never shot a Rebel in the eye. He had never met a girl like Amy.
Ty looked at his ring on her finger & smiled.
