A few hours earlier
"Are you stupid?!" Amay turned her head with her kimono barely on as she listened to Lucas's plan. She face was a mixture of anger and pure shock by what he was trying to do. "We are not doing that."
"It's the only way it can work. We have no other choices." Lucas told her with a concerned look as if he was unsure himself. He expected her to reach this way.
"Yes we do!" Amay said putting her foot down. She hard heard of stupid ideas, but nothing like this.
"Look," Lucas told her as he stood up after putting on his shoes. "If we do a straight on attack with her, it would go just like it did yesterday. Running away would do nothing, since it's like a whole day to get back to the RV with her being Spiderman through these trees. We are in a bad disadvantage with her in these woods, and there's nothing but trees from miles around. So we have no other choice."
"But..we.." Amay tried to argue back but found herself drowning a blank. She let out a low grumbly that blurred into a grow as she desperately tried to find a reason around this. She stomped her foot at him. "Damn it. You can't use yourself as bait."
"Why not?!" Lucas said throwing his hands out.
"Because I don't want to loose my only friend!"
The cave went early silent as Amay avoided Lucas look as her face turned red. Lucas face went red from hearing her words. He felt both touched and guilty for forcing her into this situation. He could feel his heart beating a little faster while it sunk deeper within his chest. He tried to say something, but found the words hard to leave his mouth.
"I promised I will keep you say, and you saying you want to give yourself to her a chance of landing an attack on her. I...." Amay told him. She paused on her last words tears formed in her eyes as she choked on the words. "I can't....I can't allow you to put yourself in harms way like that. I just can't."
Her emotions began to slip as tears formed in her eyes. She balled her fist up tightly nearly causing blood to form in them. She began to visible shake as gritted her. "If I was stronger, this wouldn't need to happen." The thought rolled in the back of her head. A sick feeling began to grow in her stomach as felt as if she was letting Elizabeth down even more.
Before she could break any more, she felt a pair of warm hands wrap around her. This caused her to slightly jump before slowly relaxing and bearing her face into Lucas chest. She could feel his hand on the back of her head. Unlike with Elizabeth, she didn't jump or lashed out, instead she welcomed it.
"His hugs are just like hers, but more soothing." Amay thought to herself as she took in a deep breath of his scent and could feel her own hands wanting to wrap around him.
"I know, but it's the only way," Lucas reassured her. "I promise you this will work."
Present moment.
Amay crouched down behind a bush as she watched Ida hovered over Lucas. She gritted her teeth with anger as she watched her touch him and forced herself on him. She felt her heart tighten as she could do nothing but watch Ida fall for Lucas plan a little too well. Her mind went over it once again, as if she could hear his voice.
"Basically. We are going to launch a sneak attack on her. There's a strong chance that she thinks you are dead, and would soon come looking for me," Lucas began to explain to Amay. "So we are going to use that to our advantage. I will go to her and use myself as bait. The goal is to keep her distracted for you to launch a full assault on her while she's distracted and to trying to fumble to get back to her feet."
"And how would I get past her or know when to strike?" Amay frustratedly ask knowing she can't talk him down anymore. "What do we do if she doesn't fall for it?"
"That would be the easy part. You couldn't sense her and if my mom and sister couldn't, that means she lowered her energy enough to blend in. So you would need to do the same," Lucas answered. He then put his hand against his mouth as he thought about it for a moment. "You need to strike her from behind aiming towards her spine. That would catch anyone off guard and could cause her to loose control her limbs."
"O...Kay? What about the other two?" Amay said crossing her arms.
"That's the thing. I won't know exactly how she would react when, she comes for me. So just I would just give you something or if it looks like it's getting really bad you step in." Lucas said crossing his hands as well. He then sighed as he raised one finger. "This is risky all around, but if you are too early, then she would immediately go on the attack with me and then you. So I will let you in someway or form-"
Amay was pulled back from her thoughts as she heard Lucas's screaming. She immediately turned her attention back to the event infront of her. Her eyes went wide at what she was witnessing.
Ida pulled her mouth from Lucas as it as his was covered with saliva. She began to cackle as she licked her lips. "So tasty." She said seeing Lucas choke for air. The hand that rested on the back of her preys head moved towards his. Her middle finger glided across Lucas's face as she cut deep into his cheek drawing blood. She watched as the boy jerked as his face turned red.
"Oh you naughty prey." She gleefully said as her smile grew deeper as she pulled her other hand forward. She brought the other hand that was down the boy's lower half, to her mouth and began to lick it. Her glee left as she tasted the substance and furiously began to clean her hand. A sick giggle left her mouth as she could feel her heart began to beat excitedly. She then looked back at the boy and took her left claws and cut at the boy's chest drawing blood.
"Yes. Yes. This is way beyond what I hoped for!" She cheered as she felt a her face become red. She brought her left hand and began to lick the boy's blood. Her body quivered as she enjoyed both taste. "The Serpents have blessed me all to well." She praised as she began to lick both hands for whatever was left.
Lucas felt such disgust in himself and at his body for working against him, but overall fear rain down his body. He felt the world around him began to laugh and shake as he felt so powerless under the girl. He wanted to crawl away and tried to pull himself together but felt felt Ida's right appendage reach under his arm and made him fall back to the ground. His body immediately tensed up as she tried to cut him again, but he used his arm to block her. He let out another scream as her cut made his arm bleed.
"Yes. Yes. Scream for me my little fly," Ida said as brought that arm upwards and licked it again. She began to cut at Lucas again. This process went out for two more times. She made sure to cut too deeply, but enough to draw blood. His screams fueled her as she began to cackle like a child. "Yes. Yesss." She said drunkenly as drool came from her mouth.
Ida looked at the boy with steam coming from her mouth. She could feel the fear and defeat on his face as she knew there was nothing he could do. She savored this moment and leaned her head upwards inhaling and slowing exhaling the sweet taste of victory. The fear in the boy's voice, the smell of his blood, and the taste of his essence on her tongue, made a deep satisfying smile came across her face.
"This is what victory is like," She exhaled with joy. She used her appendages to lower herself to her feet. She stood tall and giggled as she pulled her hair out of her face. "I killed the demon that cursed our clan yesterday and then you, the seed of Elizabeth, came to me like I was a young lady in waiting and gave me a taste of what I wanted." She tolded the injured Lucas as she she placed her hands on her yukata.
As his injures began to burn and sting, he could feel his mind slipping away. He watched as she undid her dress and allowed to come open. He tried to pull his body back away from her as best he could. Her next word sent a chill down his spine and made all his fears increase even further.
"Thank you." Ida told him giving him a genuine smile while tilting her head to the right. She let out a small giggle as she opened her dress to reveal her body. Like her arms the black exoskeleton extended down her arms and wrapped around her waist. It bridged and connected around her neck and collar bone. Her breast were that of a regular human with her exoskeleton going down her chestplate. This extended to her legs a little.
"Not many live to see my body like this. You are the only exception, because I plan to keep you alive a little longer then the rest," She playfully giggled at him as she took a step forward. "I will be sure to name one of our many children after you."
"Oh. I just realized, I never got your name. What was it?" Ida said taking around step as she took another step forward. She nearly hovered over him as she was ready. "I'll figure it out later. It's tim-"
A sharp pain suddenly began to run through Ida's stomach as slowly came to realize what happened. The look of disbelief came over her face as she looked down at the object tbag should from her. Using her left arm, she touched the wound in disbelief and brought it back to her eyes. Her four eyes focused on the green blood. As she fully came to terms that she was stabbed, her her turned to the left to look back at who could have done it.
"W....Who dares-" She commanded to know, but a look of disguste, shock, and anger came across her face as her black eyes landed on a pair of red ones. She was looking at Amay, in her true form and as tall as martha, looking back at her with a burning hatred in her eyes.
Amay spoke to Ida as her snake like pupils dilated to dots. She watched as Ida's appendages tried to move back to hit her, but Amay was ahead of her. Using her left hand, while the right held the blood sword in Ida's spine, she created another blood sword, and moved her hand in a circle.
Ida screamed in pain as she felt all four of her appendages get cut off with a single cut. She could feel Amay's cold breath on the back of her neck as she shushed her. She immediately went silent as she felt Amay drive the second blade into her back. Green blood dripped down Ida's mouth as she clenched her teeth in pain.
"You bitch." Ida called her through clenched teeth as she tried to use her hands to grab Amay. However, she soon felt her feet start to go limp as her body began to be lifted off of the ground.
Amay asked in a cold condescending tone. Using her strength Amay began to lift Ida off the ground with all her strength and with a mighty scream pulled her back off or Lucas.
Ida watched in horror as Amay lifted her off the ground, looked at the webbing above her and then the ground as she was slammed on her stomach. She began to cough heavily as felt the swords go deeper into her back. As she tried to raise her body up she realized she couldn't more her legs. So she tried to raise herself up using her arms. However heard a whooshing sound followed by another sharp pain from her right arm. As she tried to scream, felt a hand on the back of her hand before her head was slammed back into the ground.
Amay asked her as she sat on Ida's back. Her hand was tightly gripped Ida's hair as she pulled her face back up. She looked at the spider's face looking at her broken nose and closed eyes. She looked at Ida with cold eyes as she gasped for air. Without hesitating Amay slammed her face back into the ground harder. She did this over and over....and....over...and...over...and over.
As Amay did this, she began to think of all the pain Ida did to her. All the times she bulled her, all the times she ruined her day, all the name calling, all the hatred over nothing.
"Why....Why!...Why!!.."Amay asked herself as she felt herself slipping into her anger as a tear came from her eye. She stopped as she held up, Ida's barely recognizable face. Amay's right hand trembled as blood flowed from it and formed a dagger in her hand. She placed the dagger to Ida's neck ready to end this once and for all.
"Amay.." Lucas said standing up. His wounds were bleeding and his clothes barely hung onto his body as he looked at the chaos. Even with tear stains down his eyes, he looked into Amay's to try and connected with her. "Please...Stop." He begged her.
