While waiting in Mr. McCray's office, Abel decided to inform him about the news today.
"I am aware of it and by the way, their death seems to be the same as the previous case except for the missing head" reply Mr. McCray.
"What surprises me is how the bodies were left intact" said Abel.
"There is more to it than just an intact body" reply Mr. McCray.
"what do you mean by that" asked Abel.
"The victims were all killed without any spilling of blood or missing body part, what everyone fails to observe is their interior" replied Mr. McCray.
"that could also be possible, I mean there is no monster that would just go a rampage just to kill without having any reason to. So do you have any idea of what could be responsible for their death" asked Abel?
"There are many creatures that feed on their victim interior such as their life force, so I can't say for sure that I can tell which of the creature is terrorizing the town" reply Mr. McCray.
Abel decided to wait for Mr. McCray after school has ended since he don't know what to say to Perry. Spending his days in Mr. McCray's place, Abel had much time to practice his skills before moving on to training until it was dark and had to take his leave.
While heading home, Abel came across an old lady who was trying to pick up some load with difficulty, and seeing the young man walking by, she suddenly called.
"young man do you mind helping an old lady".
Abel went over to pick up the bag before following her lead as they went through the pack. With the way the old lady is walking, Abel was beginning to worry that he won't be able to make it home on time.
They walk for some time and they still haven't gotten to their destination, so he decided to ask her if they are there yet.
"We are almost there boy, just a little further and we'll be there" replied the old lady.
Abel couldn't help but let out a sigh as he quietly follow behind her but unknowing to Abel, the old lady was all smile as she continued to lead the way until they got to an old house that has been deserted for a long time.
"Is this where you live" asked Abel in surprise as he begins to look at the place.
"yes young man, why don't you come in" replied the old lady as he gestured for him.
With a nod, Abel walks inside as he doesn't know what he is getting himself into. The moment he walk inside to put the bag down, he suddenly heard the door getting shut.
"Eh, I don't think there will be any need for that since I will be taking my leave now" said Abel with a smile as he begin to head to the door.
"You won't be leaving today" replied the old lady with her head lowered.
"What do you mean by that" asked Abel with a frown as he stop in his track.
"It been days that I have had my eyes on you so how can I just let you go" replied the old lady as she raised her head while revealing her head that is filled with eyes with her mouth wide.
Before long the old lady has transformed into what looks like a spider but the only difference between her and an actual spider was her size.
"you are the one that is responsible for the death of those who had been reported in the news" said Abel in surprise as he took a step back to keep his distance.
"that's right and you are my next victim" replies the old lady as she throws one of the spider legs in hope of piercing him before dragging him closer to herself just like how she has been catching her prey.
Just as the leg was about to get to him, Abel pick up a wooden chair as he slam it into the leg which parry is movement.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you but I don't play on dying today" said Abel.
"and who are you to decide that" reply the old lady before sending two other legs at him but this time they seem to be a lot faster compared to the first attack.
But for someone like Abel who could see the attack approaching, he quickly stretched his hand forward as he held the legs in place before applying force into his arm as he lifted her up before slamming her down.
Getting up from the fall, the old lady didn't seem to be in pain as she let out a chuckle before speaking up.
"Looks like I have picked the wrong prey this time around but that doesn't mean that I can't have you".
After saying those words, the old lady suddenly spits a substance at able who moves his body to the side slightly to avoid the attack but before he could focus on the fight, one of the legs was already upon him as he was sent crashing into the wall.
"I don't think I am a match for her, even with all the training that I have been through. I need to get out of this place as soon as possible" mutter Abel as he begins to look around while thinking of a way to leave the building.
Seeing Abel looking around, the old lady couldn't help but laugh as she said.
"if you are thinking of leaving this place, then you will have to get rid of web first which is impossible so just stay still while I devour you".
Just like the old lady has said, the whole walls are covered with spider webs which she uses to seal the place and it would be a bad idea for him to get rid of them since he won't be able to protect himself against her attack which left him with one option and that is to use the door.
