Too Spooky!

Things had been quiet now that Echo had left; it had become far too cold for such a southern bird to survive and he had left Spider once again to travel South. He expected that this time they would reunite sooner, shortly after the spring thaw rather than finding each other in summer only to part ways again within weeks.

Without the bird Spider had gone back to the north, the only place where he had an advantage hunting. For the time being anyway. He had gone much further north than he had before when they ran into the horrifyingly large and intimidating male, but Spider unfortunately couldn’t shake the horrible feeling of loneliness. He missed Echo, and he missed Gabe, and Natiel, but most of all he missed Shiloh. He seemed to have collected more people to miss than people he could spend his time with, and it made his heart ache terribly.

The brilliant green flash illuminated the sky and against his better judgement Spider ran forward, hoping to find the source, but instead finding the gorge. He could see someone ahead, a woman but…There was something wrong about her, something he couldn’t quite place, there seemed to be a thick fog at her feet because they couldn’t be seen at all, as if she were draped in a thick black curtain, the only thing he could really make out clearly was her back and the top of her head. “H-h-hello?” He called hesitantly, hoping to get her attention, then all at once regretted it as he saw the thick black fluid seeping from her eye.
