“Ugh, no one said there would be this much mud...” Lockwood mused to himself, staring down at his usually pristine boots.
Normally Lucy would have just laughed at him, but being the clumsy one, she had mud all the way up to her tight covered knees, and almost brushing the hem of her skirt.
“Where exactly is this haunting supposed to be?” She asked, pulling her rapier from the bush it was caught in.
“according to our client, he was out on a hike and got this horrible chill. He said to follow the foot path and head into the trees on the right of the fork.”
Lucy rolled her eyes, “that’s quite helpful, isn’t it?”
“This has to be the wrong spot. I know its early, but I don’t see any death glows, no spiderwebs, or even feel a sense of dread.”
He ran a hand through his hair, “Did he maybe say to go left instead of right?”
“I think we should trudge a little further up this hill; how about you grab the chains we laid out and we’ll cautiously...”
Lockwood looked up in surprise. “What is it, Luce?”
“They’re everywhere! My gosh look at the ground!”
Lockwood heard the faint tremor in her voice and looked to the ground. Spiders...hundreds of spiders crawled over the ground and around his feet, a few daring to scurry over the tops of his shoes on the way to their unknown destination.
As if a flip had been switched, a thick fog started to seep from the ground, a mist that Lockwood knew would soon engulf them, he threw his shades on to protect his eyes from the death glows that spring up and surrounded him.
“Luce...how many sets of chains did we bring?” He asked uncertainly.
Lucy looked up to see Lockwood running at her in a full sprint, next thing she knew he was beside her, spinning her round, grabbing her hand....”circle, get to the circle!” He screamed, dragging her along as figures slowly began to appear.
It was going to be a long night
(I wrote this while watching my twin brother fly fish. We walked through some fields to get to the river and every where I looked there were spiders....eeeek!)
