"You remember that you promised you would never leave me right? If I tell you who I am, promise me that you will keep your promise," Spider replied with his bass voice that was getting softer.
Luci failed to answer. She was too frantic to think about all the possibilities. What if it turned out that Spider was an assassin and he just made his move? Or maybe Spider was a butcher who usually executed his victims randomly? Or was he aiming for Hans' life?
But after knowing Luci was his adopted sister, Spider tried to agree with Luci first
'If he killed Hans how bad would he be if he still wanted me to be my brother. Right, he's evil right, if that's the case?' Luci thought unilaterally concluded.
After all, Luci also didn't remember that she ever made such a promise to Spider. When and exactly where was the promise made?
Spider squeaked softly even though he still had a smile in his squeak. But after a while, his smile faded and was buried with his disappointment.
"You forgot your promise, didn't you?" guessed the Spider that led to the right target.
Luci also stiffened and did not dare to answer anything. Luci decided that as long as she didn't know who Spider was then Luci would keep all her opinions and thoughts close. The girl just didn't want Spider to get angry and hurt Hans in front of her for a release.
"You promised me once in the cage, in the morning. You're watching the sunrise," explained Spider, starting to tell the story of their gloomy childhood. "You said you wanted to go out for a bit to play outside the cage. That's why you always watched the sunrise to grant your wish," continued Spider.
Luci knew about the sunrise story. Even after she dated Daniel, Luci still believed in the myth.
Every morning Luci would take the time to watch the sunrise while hoping that she would marry Daniel one day. But that did not happen. The myths about the rising sun or shooting stars were just stupidity used to fool children.
"So you forgot? Did you forget?" asked Spider incessantly. Then Spider sighed with a little disappointment after finding Luci's face that was looking down deeply, that face was the answer to the question asked by Spider.
'Looks like Bee has forgotten everything,' thought Spider.
But Spider was reluctant to blame Luci any further because even then Luci was too young to remember things. But that couldn't be an excuse either.
Spider's dark times when he was still an adopted son of the Dusky family could never be forgotten Spider. Even the cool and beautiful impression of the family yard was still lingering in his brain.
Not to mention remembering how surprised Spider was when he had to be placed in a cage while sleeping. All of Dusky's kindness was bullshit, and Spider had never forgotten a single painful incident.
Maybe it's a vengeful Spider or indeed a Spider who was good at remembering many memories. Spider even still remembered what Luci was like as a child. Luci was a friendly and cheerful girl, but behind all that Luci or Bee was a timid child and was easy to scare.
Now Spider wanted to prove if Luci still had that behavior. Besides Spider, who was curious, he wanted to prank his first love a little.
"How can you forget all the memories of us? You even forgot the promise that you made to me. Do you think I won't be mad? Do you still remember my nickname in the cage back then? I am a Poisonous Spider which means I can stab anyone to kill them," said Spider with a very serious face.
It was just a lie, what Spider said was just a lie. The nickname his adoptive siblings gave him was the Spectacled Spider because Spider was an avid kid and would often read anything he found on the street.
Meanwhile, Poison was given to Snake, an adopted sister who was the second eldest girl of them. The meaning of the nickname meant the literally Poisonous Snake, she was a girl who could slowly kill everyone with just her mouth. She was a snitch, just like Lion, the eldest in the cage.
"Ah, I – I," Luci stuttered in fright. She had been sitting so close to Spider even now he was inching away. Panic was depicted on her face, the sweat started to run down her face starting from her forehead then down her cheeks, and ending on her neck to her chest.
Spider looked away slightly. He had never observed how much Luci had grown by leaps and bounds. She used to have a cute doll-like face with chubby and adorable cheeks. But now Luci had become a sexy and voluptuous girl. Moreover, her chest was growing very rapidly and was imprinted perfectly.
Spider took a deep breath. He had to restrain his fascination. This was not the time to jump in and 'attack' Luci. Spider wanted both of them to do 'that' because they liked it, not because of coercion or anything like that.
After being able to control himself and also his pent-up desire, Spider turned back to observe Luci. But again his eyes couldn't focus properly. Spider's eyes were always on Luci's 'bulges'.
'This cannot be tolerated. I'm going crazy if I keep this up,' thought Spider.
Then the man stood up to grab the coat that covered Hans. After that, Spider spread his coat to cover Luci's body who was only wearing a tank top and hot pants.
Luci looked taken aback. The girl had thought that Spider wanted to stab her with something because Spider was angry at Luci who forgot her promise, but luckily that didn't happen.
"What is -"
"People will be leaving this place soon, and most of them are men. You better cover yourself if you don't want to be a 'prey'. Besides, the kid needs a lot of suns," said Spider, starting to make excuses.
Spider sat right next to Luci, even though their bodies were close to each other. Luci moved restlessly, she moved her hips to get away from Spider, but his strong hands didn't seem to want to let her go.
Spider wrapped his arms around Luci's slender waist, Then the man pulled and shifted Luci so that she could stick to Spider's body again. He smirked after getting what he wanted.
Luci was already sitting clinging to Spider's body at this time. With a position like this, Spider already felt that Luci was his own. Especially when Luci looked at him like this.
"Why are you even looking at me? You have to answer what you have to answer. Do you not remember your promise?" Spider asked again, his eyes intense yet demanding.
