PROLOGUE: KISS OF DEATH

A cowboy entered the mansion with his gun at the ready as he wasn't sure of what he was going to encounter, and when he was immediately greeted by two scantily dressed and very beautiful women, he was completely wrong-footed since he hadn't expected this at all.

However, he willingly put his gun away, and they escorted him upstairs to a bedroom to have some fun.


Once in the bedroom, the two women began giggling as they kissed him on the lips and tugged at his clothes in order to remove them.

"Hey, when can I see this gem?" he asked with a grin as they removed his coat, his shirt, and even his gun-belt, and he grunted when one of the women shoved him backwards onto the bed while the other woman removed his boots.

"Easy," the man said, now a bit concerned since he was trying to buy his men time to find and replace the gem that was rumored to be somewhere nearby on the outside of the mansion.

One of the women climbed on top of him, rubbing her hands over his chest and arms. "We're just getting warmed up."

The other woman also climbed onto the bed next to them, running her fingers over his chest. "We have another friend joining us," she informed him, and he became distracted as they both ran their hands over his chest and arms, kissing him on the face and chest.

"Do you like getting tied up?" one of the women asked as she tied one of his wrists to the headboard of the bed.

"Do you like getting tied up?" the other woman asked, tying his other wrist to the headboard, and they also tied his ankles to the base of the bed, and he didn't complain since he was entranced by them both.

The cowboy was so focused on them, that he didn't see the syringe until he felt the sting of the needle, and everything went black.


When the cowboy regained consciousness, he found that he couldn't see due to a black blindfold having been tied over his eyes, and he couldn't move, no matter how hard he tried.

Had he been able to see, he would've seen that his entire body had been covered with a white weblike substance, and it was this webbing that was keeping him trapped on the bed.

"Hey!" he called out, hoping that someone would hear him and set him free. "Hello? Come on. Hello?" He could hear movement, but he couldn't see who was coming, and if he could, he would probably freak out big time.

A shadowy figure moved behind a dressing blind, and soon a single female hand with long black nails moved into view.

"Hello?" the cowboy called out, becoming increasingly scared and he felt the bed move as someone or something climbed onto it.

Hissing softly, a woman wearing only black undergarments climbed onto the bed, and she moved so that she was on top of the cowboy, but she wasn't a normal woman: while her black hair was done up in a fancy-looking bun, she had four sets of red eyes, black fangs coming out of either side of her mouth, and open wounds on either side of her waist and her legs.

The cowboy could feel her breathing on him, and he made a plead that he was certain wouldn't be fulfilled. "Please don't kill me."

The spider-woman sat back, spreading her arms, and two set of spider legs came out of the wounds. She then threw herself forward and sank her fangs into the man's neck, making him scream out in pain as her poison flooded his system.

The spider-woman had claimed another victim. Earlier she'd found his two men caught in her web, and she had disposed of them both, and now she was feeding on their leader. They were paying the price for trying to take the gem.

A price that many men had paid for with their lives, and many more men would pay if they were foolish enough to try and take the gem that had been entrusted to her by the Sorceress.


A/N: Eek! Talk about a painful way to die. I will have the first chapter up soon. Bye for now! R&R everyone!
