At that moment, I burst out of the shadows, lurching toward her as fast as my legs would carry me. The beam of her flashlight lit up my grotesque body and a bloodcurdling scream cracked the air.
She ran, bolting through the trees, attempting to distance herself from me as much as she could.
Little did she know,she was running right into my trap.
“Now that's no way to treat the itsy bitsy spider,” I said with a maniacal laugh as I pursued her.
The forest grew thick around us and just as she tried to pass between two trees, she was snagged by the translucent strands of my web.
“Motherfucker!” she hissed, flailing her body against the fibers.
She could fight all she wanted, but there was no escaping me.
I climbed beside her on the thin strings and she continued to struggle, her movements growing more erratic the closer I got. “Calm down, little moth,” I said and stroked the side of her face with my hand. “I’m not going to eat you.” I dropped my voice to a sensual whisper. “At least not yet.”
“Fuck you!” she screamed and spit in my face.
My tongue darted out, licking the droplets of saliva from my lips. “Such a naughty little thing,” I tsked. “Why can’t you just behave, hmm?” I moved closer to her, close enough to see her pulse pounding in her neck. “This’ll only hurt for a minute.”
I rubbed my pedipalps together, then sank my fangs into the thin skin right where her neck met her collarbone.
Again she shrieked, but as my venom coursed through her body, it ended just as quickly as it began.
I pulled away and examined her limp body. “Fucking brats,” I huffed.
Using my spinnerets, I wrapped her in a thick cocoon of web, leaving only that beautiful face of hers exposed.
“Off we go,” I said and plucked her off of the web with my humanoid arms and threw her over my shoulder. “We don’t want to keep her waiting.”
I hummed a little tune as I carried her through the forest.
How long had we been playing out here in the woods?
How long had we made her wait?
If it was too long, we’d both be in trouble.
I guess that’s the price I’d have to pay for playing with my food.
I laughed to myself and readjusted her body just as the decrepit Victorian mansion we called home came into view. The dull yellow glow of candlelight illuminated the front window and a slender black figure paced back and forth across the parlor.
“Shit,” I hissed to the passed-out human in my cocoon. “You’ve really done it now. Hopefully, she goes easy on us.”
The old front porch creaked underneath my feet and the movement of the figure in the window ceased as I neared the front door. Without warning, the front door flew open and the figure bolted out to join us on the porch.
“Burke!” She yelled in her shrill voice. “You’re late!”
The sound reverberated through me, irritating my sensitive nervous system and causing me to almost drop the bundle I was carrying.
I crouched down and laid the sedated woman at her feet. “I’m sorry, Madam. She was up for a game of chase and I—”
“Silence!” Again, she shouted, her bright red eyes narrowed in anger. “I don’t have time for your excuses. Bring her inside.”
“Yes, Madam. As you wish.”
With that, I scooped the cocoon into my arms and carried her inside.
Moth Madam
