The Story – Chapter Twelve

Holy crap indeed.

Okay yeah, today was not going to be my day.

In front of me, glowing faint blue in the cave? cavern? corridor? What do you call a giant underground tunnel? Anyway, there in front of me was a giant spider. And when I say giant, seriously it was bigger than my house. It had legs the size of tree trucks, a huge hairy body. Oh my god, I was either going to be sick or scream. I just hoped I wasn’t going to do both, ew. It stood in front of me and stared. I mean, I think it stared; it was hard to tell which direction it was actually looking in. I swallowed around the lump in my throat, yup, that was a lot of eyes.

I must have been shaking noticeably. The fairy tugged on my wrist again. “No time to hang about,” he said and dragged me forward.

“No, no, no, no, no.” I was muttering, pulling backward and digging my heels into the dirt to stop moving.

We stopped right in front of the spider.

“Help,” I whispered as I looked up and up and up.
