Chapter 3
Bea entered the room in the medcenter where Spider was put. It had been a few hours and he still hasn't regained consciousness. The Spider's were in there as well, watching and waiting.
"Evenin' Bea." Tok said and the other Spider's nodded politely to her.
"Evening, any change?" Bea asked.
"No..." Tok said worriedly, shaking his head, "he's the same way he was when the Goddess rezzed him."
Bea sighed and rubbed the back of Spider's neck.
"Come on Spider wake up." she said softly, "is the pain so great that you don't want to face the world anymore?"
It was very faint but Bea heard someone call her name. She looked at the Spider's who just give her a puzzled look. It was Bas who noticed Spider move slightly.
"I think he's wakin' up!" he cried happily and there was a small cheer.
Sure enough, Spider's eyes opened partway. He looked a bit confused.
"What...happened?" Spider asked weakly.
"Dragadon was able ter summon a Goddess and she kicked that bitch Neph's ass!" Tok said excitedly.
"The Goddess was the one that brought yer back ter life as well Spide." Bas added.
"Neph's....gone?" Spider asked.
"Yeah...she is gone, wiped out, destroyed, outta here!" Tok said.
"Tok calm down!" Bea said sternly, "Neph is still a sensitive issue for him."
As if to confirm what Bea just said, Spider let out a sorrow filled whine and turned his head away, tears in his eyes. "It's all my fault..." they heard him mutter.
"What is your fault Spider?" Bea asked gently.
"If I wasn't so desperate ter satisfy my own desires, none of this would have happened..." Spider said, sobbing.
"Spider there was no way you could have know that Neph..."
"Yes I could have!" Spider suddenly snapped, making Bea jump, "There were warnin' signs all over! How she acted, how she spoke, and the way she always disappeared when she would leave! I wasn't so blind with lust I would have picked up on those!"
"Neph obviously knew how to control you and she most likely had done things like that for who knows how long. You can't blame yourself for something you had no control over."
"No Bea...I had the opportunity ter prevent it, by not lettin' myself get so desperate fer a mate of my own, and I blew it." Spider broke into sobs again.
"Nobody is perfect Spider. We can only..."
"Jus' leave me alone..." Spider said suddenly, putting his head under a pillow.
"Spider listen..."
"I SAID LEAVE ME ALONE!"
Bea sighed sadly, it was obvious she wasn't going to get him to listen to anymore for that day.
"Come on" she said to the Spiders, who were surprised at Spider's outburst, "We best give him his space for a while...."
