Chapter 8
The slig didn’t know what hit him. Just before he grabbed Tok Spider rammed into him…sending him flying and he landed with a thud stunned. Spider bent down and nuzzled Tok, to see if he was alright. At first there was no response and Spider’s heart began to sink, but then Tok let out a painful wail. The rest of the brood ran up and comforted Tok. Once Spider was sure Tok wasn’t suffering from any serious injures he turned his attention back to the offending slig, who was just getting back up. He happened to catch the sligs scent on the breeze and he recognized it: it was the same slig he smelled when he first found Tok….
“So…” Spider said to the slig, his eyes narrowed and his voice a low growl, “Yer like beatin’ up kids eh?”
The slig didn’t answer…he just stood there tembling, afraid of the angry crossbreed.
“Well let me tell yer somethin’…” Spider continued, “Yer don’ treat kids that way and I’m ‘bout ter show yer why….”
“Oh no…” was all the slig got out before Spider grabbed him and tore his pants off. Spider then procided to beat the living daylights out of the slig, but he only hit him hard enough to leave some very nasty bruises.
“Please no more!” the slig cried after a while.
Spider stopped and glared at him. “Oh so yer beggin’ fer mercy? Yer never showed Tok any mercy, so why should I?” Spider asked, his voice low and dangerous.
“Please….I…I’m sorry!”
“Yer better be sorry. I jus’ showed yer what Tok felt. So yer better remember this, fer if I find ever found out yer mistreated ‘nother kid…yer be seein’ me again and this time yer be getting’ some things broken….”
The slig nodded slowly in understanding…shaking in fear.
“Now get outta my sight!” Spider growled. The slig quickly scampered off, not even stopping to reclaim his pants. Spider looked at the forgotten pants and grinned.
I think I’ll use them for the spare parts I need….
Late that night, Spider was awakened by Tok cries; the little one just had a nightmare. Spider got up, walked over to him, and nuzzled him comfortingly. Tok was still crying and Spider gently picked him up and took him back with him to his bed.
“It’s ok…” Spider rumbled gently as he put him into his bed and laid down beside him, It was only a dream and dreams can’t hurt yer.”
Tok let out a small wail and curled up next to Spiders neck. Spider sighed and rumbled comfortingly to him.
“I know how yer feel Tok.” Spider said quietly, “I know what it’s like ter fer helpless as terrible things are done ter yer and havin’ ter relive them again in yer dreams. I still get them from time ter time, remindin’ me of what I had gone through. Only what I went through was much worse, but I was able ter pull through and start livin’ a normal life. Yer can ter Tok…I know yer can….”
