He glanced at the blue eyed woman, silently begging before he realized the two were probably working together, and had him surrounded.
“Back off or I'll-!” The bird cried defiantly.
“ECHO NO!” Spider shrieked and in an instant grabbed the bird in his jaws before tearing off into the trees. He needed to get away, needed to get them both to safety and as far away from both of them as possible.
