Author's Note: Hey, guys! Before any of you who read TMOTN get ready to beat me up, I want to let you know that this has been sitting around on my laptop for a while, and that the next chapter should be up in the next couple weeks. :)
Anyway, I'm relatively new to the Kuroshitsuji fandom, but I'm totally obsessed. As this is a Claude/OC story, this will take place in season 2 of the anime. Due to school and other stuff I'm busy with, I'm probably not going to be able to update this too often. I'm shooting for every other week, but who knows?
Disclaimer: I don't own Black Butler or any of its characters. I only own my OCs and this basic plot.
The Spider and the Fly
Prologue
It's amazing, isn't it? How spiders weave their webs? Careful, intricate designs on a white tapestry. They take their time weaving their art, making certain every thread is perfectly in place. Thin legs weaving a masterpiece that few would see, and that none would appreciate.
Except for her, of course.
The spider always took special care to make its web for her. He was always striving to please her, to pull her in closer. She would take the bait and come to admire it from a closer view. She would reach out to grasp it, to savor the feeling of the beautiful web, which shone with morning dew.
And it would grasp her back. The more she struggled, the more the web trapped her. She would cry out, beg for the spider to come and save her. But the spider would just watch as his prey further doomed herself in his web. Finally, he would approach her, reach out a thin arm to her. She would look at him, her tawny eyes full of hope. He'd caress her cheek, press his lips to hers.
And then he'd encase her in his silky, sticky thread. He'd watch mercilessly as her eyes widened in fear, and ignore her pleas. He'd not listen to them. He wouldn't even care. This is the way the world works. She is his prey. She is the Fly, and he is the Spider.
And the Spider always wins his prey.
