Hey, everyone, I'd like to apologize for the delay in this Fanfic of mine, I've been losing a lot of motivation lately and I have gotten discouraged at my ability to write this story. Recent reviews have a little effect on me, but I feel as though I won't be able to execute certain things to please you all. I actually had to rush through this chapter, and you'll see that I've used "Spider girl" and "Boy" a lot more than i should've, including the word "Said". Also, I realized I never described what Boss looked like and I'll tell you exactly that next chapter. I need your reviews and opinions to help me through this even if they're discouraging. For those of you who already doubt it because of the way i portray the Xenomorph, I don't blame you, but it's only the first two chapter's, and if you still dislike it that's fine. Actually, you should write your own version so I can read it, haha, I love to read Alien crossovers, even if they're hard to find. Anyway, i hope i didn't butcher this chapter too much and I appreciate your patience!
The boy and the spider both stared at one another, though the boy was finding it hard to look directly into her many eyes. The female spider smirked and started to walk around him on her web, observing him, looking at his facial reactions toward her and see if any fear shown in his eyes. When the spider was satisfied, she crawled directly over him and put her face close to his.
"So, sweetie, care to tell me why you were sneaking around my home in the middle of the night? Then again, I doubt you were trying to be sneaky since you were breathing heavily and bumping into everything that would make a noise." The spider woman made a soft laugh as she waited for the boy's response. But the boy did not attempt to answer, and he only continued to stare into her many eyes. "Oh I do like the quiet ones, I always find them to be the most fun to play with..." She said, grabbing a thread of the cocoon the boy was wrapped in and giving it a firm pull.
The cocoon quickly tightened around the boy, to the point where he felt like his very soul was going to be squeezed out. But then she loosened the thread, and the cocoon went back to the way it was. "Now that you've felt the consequence of your silence, I'll ask you again, what is the reason that you were snooping around my territory?" The boy tried to speak but nothing came out, he could only mouth the words he was trying to say. The spider-girl raised an eyebrow as she saw the boy frantically try to say a single word, after a few more seconds she yanked the thread again causing the boy's eyes to nearly pop out. "Ugh, typical, I don't know if you really can't talk or you're just trying to get me mad, but just to be sure, how about we try one last pull of this thread and see if I can squeeze the words out of you." She said suddenly, as the thread slowly pulled, and the cocoon gradually tightened.
"The signals are coming from inside the warehouse…."
"You think it's X-2?"
"Let's find out…"
The girl swung her head around to the entrance of the warehouse, loosening her grip on the thread, and crawled on her web toward the front till she was right over it. She saw four men dressed as if they were in the military, wielding weaponry and gadgets, walking up to the warehouse entrance. They got in position to breach the door, and when the final of three fingers were down, they yanked at the handle the door, pushing up, until it was fully opened, charging inside. Flashlights were on, darting from corner to corner, as the men began to clear every inch of the inside.
"Welcome soldiers!" The unknown spider girl yelled, still unseen by the men, which caused them to stop and tighten their formation.
"Show yourself!" Boss yelled, scanning the area in front of him where he thought the voice came from within it.
"Haha, you have to lower your weapons first before I can do show you anything, the last thing I want is to become shredded cheese." The female voice said with a small giggle at the end. The men looked toward their superior, who nodded his head agreeing to lower their weapons. And just as expected the spider girl slowly appeared, dangling from the thread she produced. "It's quite rare to have heavily armed men enter my territory, but welcome anyways."
"Oh for Christ sake, it's just a damn spider, the very last thing we need to find are these damn abominations!" Bojack yelled aloud in annoyance, as Slick and Hopper shook their heads at the waste of time and adrenaline they used. But Boss was still focused on her, and as the other three complained, he was noticing some annoyance from her beginning to appear, even a bit of hostility.
"Shut up you three! We are guest here, and that is no way to greet your host!" Boss yelled at his men, shutting them up, and turning his attention back to the monster in front of him. "My apologies for my men's behavior, we've been on a long search, and they are a little restless." And at this, the spider girl's negative emotions disappeared, as she came closer to Boss, who remained utterly composed.
"You don't seem to be disgusted or annoyed as your partners here are, or maybe you're just faking it to get a one-up on me…." She assumed, crossing her arms and leaning down toward Boss's face.
"I worked with monster children a couple years back, I actually remember one in particular..." Boss stopped as a memory surfaced from deep within his mind. The image if his younger self-walking alongside a small spider girl, who was bald and only wore a thin gown. The area didn't appear to be a hospital though, for in front of them was a metal door with a keypad next to it. The young spider stopped feet from it, shaking, eyes wide with fear, as she looked up at the young Boss.
"I don't want to go in there..." She said, stepping back a bit and looking back at the door. "They say those who go in never come out! I don't want to go inside!"
"And who told you that? If they never come back out, then where did you get your information from?" Younger Boss asked, kneeling down to her height and patting her head.
"I don't know...I woke up one night, and something was calling out to me from the corner of the room. The voice told me he knew what really went on here and that I'd be lead to this place!" She explained shedding a tear from her eye.
"You had a bad dream, all they're going to do is make sure you are healthy and fit, nothing else. And I'll be there every step-UGH!" Boss grunted as he felt something plunge into his chest, looking down to see the girl's abdomen protruding a stinger, now lodged in his body. He felt a coldness run throughout his body as weakness was felt in his arms and legs. The spider girl removed the stinger and Boss fell to the ground with a thud, unable to move, unable to talk. But he looked over at the girl to see tears streaming down her eyes until she crawled away, leaving him there paralyzed. The echoes of his name could be heard, as Boss returned to reality, with Bojack shaking his shoulder.
"What the hell is up with you? You just cut out on us, you good man?" Bojack asked concerned for his partner, as Boss shook his head trying to clear his mind.
"Yeah I'm good, lost my train of thought, but anyway, Ms. Spider, we're sorry for barging In on you, in fact, we'll be leaving right now," Boss said turning around before remembering that there was a second unknown target in the room with them. He instinctively readied his weapon, turning around face the spider girl again. "You wouldn't happen to be hiding anything from us, would you? Ms. Spider?"
The girl looked at them confused, before remembering the intruder she caught earlier. "Ah! You mean the boy I caught lurking around my territory, yeah, he's up there." She pointed up to the ceiling, in which the four men pointed their flashlights to reveal the boy wrapped in webbing, squinting his eyes due to the bright lights.
"You weren't going to eat him, were you?" Hopper asked concerned for the boy's well being. But the spider shook her head, smiling as she began to make her way up to the helpless intruder. With the cut of a string the boy plummeted to the ground, but suddenly stopped inches from the concrete floor. The men breathed a sigh of relief as they saw that there was another string attached to the boy's cocoon. Giggling could be heard above as the spider snickered at her own joke, and crawled back down toward them.
"Sorry but I couldn't resist, the look on this boy's face was priceless and still is." She explained pointing at the wide-eyed boy who seemed to be close to having a heart attack.
"Oh great, a sadist..." Mumbled Slick, as he walked over to sit on a crate. "This was a complete waste of our time, now X-2 could be anywhere!"
"Slick!" Boss quickly turned his head to give Slick a sharp look.
"X-2? What's that?" The spider girl asked with a curious smile.
"That's classified, and we're leaving this place." Boss replied giving a hand signal to his men. Which was acknowledged by two of the three, the other was Slick fiddling around with a radio he had packed. "Put that shit away Slick and get your ass over here, we're running out of daylight."
[***********Late Nig-*****ews-*****your host*******Hello ev-*******still no sign of the missing liminals, local authorities say there are no leads on what happened to them. Cases of disappearing liminals have been on the rise over the past few months, causing a surge in security from the C.E.S.S. A "Ms. Smith." stated that due to eyewitness reports, the last seen whereabouts of the missing were near the forest on the outskirts of the city. Anyone who is housing a liminal or is a liminal themselves are told NOT to go near the woods at night unless supervised or with a partner. In other news-********]
"Alright, so now we know that IT hasn't gotten to the city yet, which means we still have time to retrieve IT." Slick said as he got up and joined his friends.
Boss let out a sigh as he looked at the spider and the boy. "As for you two, we were never here, and we don't exist, we're just a figment of your imagination, understand?" The spider smirked and nodded with a wink, but the boy just stared at Boss, almost as if he was afraid of him. With one last look at the liminal, he joined the rest of his squad at the door, being the last one to slip out, until pulling it shut.
"Well now, that was the most exciting group of men I've seen all my life, and I think the bald one was checking me out." She said with a smile as she turned to the boy, who was staring up at her in awe. It was as if he had never seen a liminal before and that his fear had been replaced with curiosity. "My, I guess I should introduce myself, my name is Rachnera Arachnera, and you are?" She sliced a line down the cocoon, releasing the boy.
Continuing his gaze for a few more seconds he looked down at his hands, turning them as if he were inspecting them. He then looked at his body and realized that he was completely naked, but he neither blushed nor tried to cover himself. Rachnera became more interested in him and leaned down closer to his face, only to startle him as he then took multiple steps back before falling on his butt.
"You seem to be quite helpless and weak, like a fly in spiders w-" She stopped as her eyes directed themselves to the boy's wrist. An old wound seemed to have been reopened during the fall, and as the blood began to trickle out...
*StssssssssssssssSSS*
The concrete below began to melt at the contact of the blood, but before any more could touch the ground, he quickly put his other hand over the wound. He looked up at Rachnera, to see her eyebrows raised, but they came back down as a smirk appeared on her face. "Oh my, you're not even human, this is wonderful! What in the world are you though? I've never seen a monster with acid blood!"
A terrified expression was plastered on his face, as he turned his head toward the entrance of the warehouse. Then quickly back at Rachnera, who looked at him, then the door, then again toward the boy. "Ah, so you're the one they were after, you don't look as bad as they were making you out to be. You're just a little, misunderstood, monster, alone in this world..." She paused for a few seconds, something seemed to have bothered her, until she quickly came back to reality. Rachnera got close to the boy again, making him flinch, but then he felt her wrap her arms around him which made him struggle for his life. But she wouldn't let go, and a warm feeling slowly crept up on him. A feeling he never felt or just couldn't remember having at all, and when Rachnera took her arms off him, the boy saw tears running down her eyes.
"Don't worry, I won't give you to those men, in a way you're like me, and we need to stick together..."
Though he didn't know what she meant by him relating to her, he did understand that she would not go tell the men he was here, and that made the boy feel relaxed. But the human form he was in now wouldn't last forever, and what would happen once he changed back was unknown, and the feeling of dread lingered over him, as it has since the very beginning.
(Sorry again for the rushed ending) I wonder what happened to all those Liminals? Thank's again for reading, it means a lot to me, just please don't flame, maybe a little flame but PLEASE give me tips or help when you do.
