A/N: Based on this story called 'Cat's outta the bag' on Archive of Our Own.
Silence, except for the moaning of the zombies outside of the large, white building. Everything was peaceful, even with the full moon lighting up the scene of zombies ambling aimlessly across the flat terrain, and occasionally bumping into the building.
Well, it was until the wall exploded outwards. Zombies and rotten flesh went flying everywhere as something darted through the wall.
"Hurry!"
The young spider hybrid scuttled out, her extra arms propelling her across the ground at a speed you could never imagine that a human could reach. Her long black hair ruffled in the wind.
The ocelot hybrid tore into the forest after her, although he was much slower than the quick-moving spider, his tail flapping in the wind. "R-right!" he squeaked, almost landing flat on his face. He didn't often run using all four of his limbs.
"Guys, we can't wait! C'mon!" a Blaze hybrid practically jet-propelled out of there, the blaze rods surrounding them spinning like a series of blades.
"We're coming, we're coming!" and the Enderman hybrid teleported next to her, nearly face planting. She didn't often use her powers either, short, curly hair bouncing slightly.
The one who'd blown the wall up in the first place sprinted after them, panting heavily. For a creeper hybrid, he was already pretty heavily muscled. "G-guys, w-wait up!"
The five of them kept rushing through the forest, branches, leaves, other mobs batting at them, but they didn't even slow down until the blaze rods vanished, and the Blaze hybrid tumbled onto the ground with a heavy 'uhf!' escaping her lungs, as she rolled several feet, panting heavily, before ending up on her side, breathing heavily.
Even the spider-hybrid stopped, their faces all shiny from sweating and their chests heaving in an attempt to drag air into their depleted lungs. "Y- you guys okay?" she gasped, her extra limbs retracting so that she looked like a normal girl. The ocelot's ears were hidden by the hair as he adjusted it, the creeper's green skin retracted to under the overlarge green hoodie he wore, and the Enderman's purple eye dulled to almost black.
The red-haired Blaze hybrid was panting, her breath coming in ever-increasing speed as it grew to hyperventilating. "G-guys," she whimpered, "I-I've got a headache... i-it's getting worse..."
Suddenly, all of their heads were seized with a splitting pain, and all of them cried out, clutching at their heads in pain. "It hurts," whimpered the creeper hybrid, "wh-why-?!"
They were all cut off by a wall of unconsciousness hitting them, and they all momentarily jerked, before collapsing onto the ground in pain. The five children momentarily convulsed, until they went completely limp.
In a certain part of their heads, a small chip sparked before the power died and the light faded.
Memories can be hidden.
But no matter what, they can never be destroyed, no matter how hard you try.
Taken. Hidden. Swept under a mental carpet.
But destroying a memory is like destroying nothing.
You can't destroy nothing.
It would only take 10 years for these memories to resurface.
"Yes, I'm ready," Axel laughed easily, "waiting on you guys." The burly boy wore his thick green sweatshirt that he'd had for what seemed like forever. He hardly ever took the thing off, even to sleep- it was a pretty comfy sweatshirt, from what Jesse could see of it.
"We'll see you downstairs, okay?" Olivia asked, already halfway through the trapdoor. Her right eye was a slightly brighter shade of black, but all of them always put that down to lighting. Especially since it looked kinda cool.
Jesse rolled her eyes. "Okay!" but she was grinning at her two best friends. Her left eye was always a funny color, a darker green than her other eyes, but Jesse thought it was cool- it meant she looked kinda cool (okay, and kinda lopsided) and that meant only good things.
As the trapdoor shut, Jesse turned away- and then grabbed her head in pain as a gasp was forced out of her mouth. "O-ow.." The headache that seized her head was like none other- for one, it burst out of nowhere.
Reuben let out a worried squeal as her fingers probed her temples. "I-I-" she stammered, as the world in front of her swayed, bowed, swam in front of her. Blinking did nothing, only made dark spots that grew and grew and covered her vision.
The trapdoor shut. The little spider hybrid was trembling in fear as the huge monster rose to face her. A monster with three heads.
A monster that spat a fiery skull at her.
The spider-hybrid screamed in terror and lunged sideways, the skull plowing into the stone floor beside her and making a small crater upon impact, before reflexively raising her arm in a blocking motion as it neared her. A strand of sticky string flailed off and tagged the monster, wrapping around it.
Automatically, without thinking about it, the spider hybrid started to weave. Her arms moved quickly as she wove together the strings, which trapped the Wither in its sticky grasp, and she cocooned it. She didn't know how she was doing it. She didn't know why. She just moved along with what instincts her body was telling her until the Wither was wrapped in the string tightly, so it couldn't move. The whole room was swathed in white, sticky silk and string, making what looked like the world's most elaborate spiderweb.
She gasped with fear, her lungs dragging in air as she regarded her handiwork, before she crept closer to the monster.
The spider hybrid finally leaned closer to the struggling Wither and sank her teeth into the middle skull.
At first her small, human teeth slid and slipped off the skull, making a foul taste enter her mouth, but suddenly it connected and sank in, a bit like biting into a jelly donut. A funny sensation filled her mouth, kind of like tingling and a bit of a numbing sensation, along with a sickly, sour, sweet taste in her mouth. The Wither's head jerked, before it exploded into smoke.
The spider hybrid spit, trying to get the taste out of her mouth. Out spattered something that was a dark muddy color, all over the floor, over the Nether Star that had dropped to the ground.
A hand landed solidly on her shoulder, making her cry out in alarm. "Good work. You performed admirably."
Jesse winced as the images passed, and the headache. "... that was... really weird," she mumbled, rubbing her head, before kneeling down at the chest she'd come to, wincing at the memory of the brief flash of agony.
What really worried her, though, was that she recognized the spider hybrid, if you ignored the four extra limbs, the fact that it was a little girl, and the fact that the left eye was a glowing, ruby red.
That little spider hybrid had looked like her.
But I'm not a spider hybrid, Jesse told herself firmly.
She paused even as she lifted out the flint and steel, and glanced back down at her hands.
... am I?
A/N: ... yeah. This is bad. I'm bored, I have nothing better to do, and I had this idea, so you guys get this. If I ever decide to post it.
So, I have decided to post this! And yes, I know that spiders don't have venom in Minecraft and that this wouldn't actually work, but this is mah story, so I can do what I want (within reason), and this is pretty darn reasonable. So yeah.
See ya!
