Animalistic Desires

HTW Part 13

"Scott!" She cried softly, as she threw her arms around him. "I-I thought you were dead, or a-!" She then furrowed her brows, as she studied his face. Angela then felt around his neck, nothing. Thank God!

"You thought I was what Angela?" He asked.

Angela shook her head, as she felt relieved. There were no signs of him being under mind control.

"Some of the tarantulas are able to control human by attaching themselves to their victims neck." She explained. "I just wanted to make sure you weren't one of them.

"Hey, hey, it's okay." He whispered, as he returned her embrace. He then began to gently start rubbing her back. With that she completely lost it, and began sobbing endlessly into his chest.

"I'm here now." He whispered. "I am not under a spider's mind control. I promise you, everything is going to be alright."

"I just want to go home!" She cried.

"Don't worry." He whispered in her ear. "I promise I will get you where you need to be."

"Sc-scott." She cried. "Please don't hate me."

"Hey." He replied. "If I hated you, I wouldn't be here. Where are the others?"

As soon as he asked she began to cry. How was he going to react when she told him?

"This-thing." She began. "Their king, he's only half human. Image a centaur, but with a spider's body instead of a horse. Some of his followers turned Zoe and Cara into creatures like him. Then Cara and Zoe seduced Bobby, and, and—they ate him. Then their king, I guess he was the son of the woman who owned the gas station, he—I can't even say it!"

"He what?" Asked Scott with a concerned look upon his face.

"He raped me!" She cried.

"Oh my god!" Cried Scott. I had not idea, I'm so sorry."

"For what?" she asked. "It's not your fault."

"I-I should have kept a better eye on you, I guess." He replied. "I never in my wildest dreams thought this could ever happen.  Come on. I've got to get you to safety, someplace where you will never be afraid like this again."  Scott then took her hand, as he lead them through the caverns. The entire place was a massive labyrinth. How were they going to find their way out of there?

After awhile their attempted escape seemed to becoming more and more improbable. Anxiety and panic began to engulf Angela. They just couldn't get caught. It would mean a death sentence for Scott, and her fate would be that of Cara and Zoe.

"Quick!" Whispered Scott. "Let's hide in here. I think we need to stop, and get our bearings straight."  With that they ducked into a small dark area of the cavern.

"I think it'll be safe in here." He said reassuringly.

"Listen Scott." Angela as tears welled up in her eyes. "If they catch us, I just want you to run. They're after me, not you. Just get out of here and get help. Don't worry about me. Save yourself, and let the local authorities know about what is going on. I love you, Scott. I can't stand the thought of you and Bobby sharing the same fate. Plus, the horror of what's happening here has to be known. That, above all, is more important than me."

He smiled at her, and cupped her chin. As he did so he began to caress her cheek.

"You don't have to worry about me, Angela." He told her. "No one down here is going to hurt me. And trust me, no one is more important than you. You have no idea how important you really are to me. I've waited along time for this moment. When I first laid eyes on you, I knew you were the one. You might have never known it but any man could easily fall in love with you. That's why I chose you, I knew you'd be perfect."
