Invaders
By Chibi Hime
Spider Grundo ANGST!
I love the Spider Grundo! So here is a little mini angst fic about him
Invaders
I only want to be alone. To exist in solitude for the rest of my days. To not know the painful looks of disgust and horror that other Neopets bestow upon my with unthinking, unknowing cruelty.
Fools! Do you not know that I was once one of you?
Even my fellows Grundos spurn me. Now they all have owners who love and care for them. Now they are all free.
And I am prisoner to the mechanations of a madman.
Leave Me Alone!
I wish not to see or be seen by anyone!
I could feel them enter my cave.
Strangers.
Two of them.
Two of them whispering and laughing...Invading my space.
Their steps and words make sounds that resound in the cave, magnifying them a thousand fold.
I squeeze my ruby eyes shut tightly
Go Away! Leave me alone in peace and dignity!
No matter how hard I press these thoughts against my skull, they do not hear me.
I squeeze my eyes as tight as they will allow.
A slight whimper escapes my lips.
They heard me.
Their words indicate they know it was me.
I use my unnatural limbs to carry myself onto the web.
The strangers see something in the shadows. So they say.
No! Don't see me!
I can see them.
A Starry Scorchio and a Baby Usul.
Why has the elder brought the younger to the place of my misery?
Does the Scorchio not realize that to glance at my visage is to know true terror.
Listen to it! Pointing out petpet bones! I was starving! I couldn't very well go to the Marketplace to get food, could I?
My solitude is shattered by a light shining upon my hideous form.
I hiss in surprise and draw myself further into the shadows.
I don't see their faces.
I don't need to.
All I hear is their screams.
Once again, that is all I need to.
Don't look at me!
Why must they persist.
The Baby begins to cry.
Out of pity for the child, I open my eyes and make feeble gestures to indicate that I am harmless.
The Scorchio flees.
The Child is left alone.
She is paralyzed by terror.
i slowly descend, careful to move slowly so the stomach churning sounds of my joints flexing do not frighten her.
I look into her wide eyes.
She stares at me, bracing for most certain doom.
Her eyes soften as she looks into mine.
She sees that they are only eyes. Grundo eyes. Something familiar.
She seems to momentarily accept me.
i reach out a hand to comfort her.
I smile.
My fangs poke over my lower lip, unbidden. caused by the display of a universal expression that to all but me is a sign of joy.
To me, it is a kiss of death.
The illusion or normalcy shatters.
She screams again, but she is no longer entranced by my presence.
She runs out of my cave.
I am left alone once more.
The Invaders are gone.
And my heart has shattered again into a thousand shards.
I did not choose to be alone.
I did not choose to be abused and enslaved.
I did not choose to be horribly mutated into an abnormal abomination.
I want an owner to hold me. To tell me they love me, despite my wretched ugliness. To care for me and play with me. Nothing extravagant. Just the bare basics.
Please.
But, how can that be, when not even my fellow Neopets can gaze upon me with anything but fear?
It can never be.
No matter how much I wish it could.
Monsters are not permitted to have happiness.
Since my deepest longing can never be fulfilled, I shall have to let my second wish suit me.
I want to be left alone.
Alone, so that I may never know hurt and sorrow.
As long as I am alone...there is no one to hurt me.
