Chapter 24: Gone Wrong

A/n: Starting from here on out things will start getting heated amongst everyone. The real story starts now. This story will start going into new territories to make it more interesting.

I sat on the couch in my living room with Anna watching the news. Dad was still knocked out asleep upstairs. It always seems me and Anna wake up wayyy before he does every morning.

A woman with blode hair and blue eyes wearing formal clothing appeared on the television, "Hello London I'm Tracey Baker and here to bring you the news.", She announced holding a paper in her palms.

"Last night the murder of five police officers took place on an abandoned ship around 10pm last night. Police and Detectives have been investigating the scene, but have not found any leads. It seems that the victims all have something in common.", She continued.

"Forensics specialist have said when the victims bodies were found they'd been sucked dry of any blood or body fluids. They've also informed us that the bodies were incased in a thick like substance with the same exterior of spider webs. Scientist have presumed that it could possibly be a new breed of spider.", She explained.

So what they think a spider of all things was capable of killing five "armed" police officers. I doubt it unless they have proper footage to say otherwise.

"There's also surveillance footage to back up this theory.", She brought up.

Well shit, I let's see this footage then. Everything suddenly became silent as it the video played. It showed five men wearing police uniforms walking through a massive dark room.

Two men stayed behind while the rest moved ahead entering another room. The footage kept going, but only stayed on the two officers that stayed behind.

Within the blink of an eye something big swooped down grabbing one of the men while the other turned around in fead aiming his pistol in the direction where his friend had previously been.

A white strand came of of nowhere wrapping itself around the officer's legs snatching him off the ground. Me and Anna were becoming more and more mortified by what we were watching.

The footage then cut back to the three remaining officers of the group. The guy that made himself out to be the leader gestured to both of his teammates pointing in different direction. He was making his teammates split up.

"No you morons! Don't split up!", I blurted at the television.

The three were interrupted when something massive pounced onto them. Me and Anna observed closely what was attacking the men. The creature was spider like in appearance.

It had a dark red abdomen and body with massive hairy legs. It had eight eyes four in the front while a single pair of two were on it's right and left side of it's head. The spider used it's pedipalps to hold down the men as it ripped and teared into the men.

I'm surprised there even showing something this graphic on the news. I looked over to Anna who was beyond disturbed. Her face displayed nothing more than pure terror.

I used the remote to turn off the television. "Ok I think that's enough television for today.", I said still trying to grasp what we just watched. "Anna you-"

Before I could ask her if she was ok she'd left the couch and ran upstairs running down the hallway to her room and slammed the door behind her.

I guess that recording we just watched screwed with her mind. It's probably best not to bother her right now. Guess I'll go check up on Dolly and Dylan to see if they saw the news.

-The Dalmatian Household

"I'm telling you two the footage seemed to real to be fake.", I babbled. I'd asked the two if they'd seen it, but they believed it was nonsense. "So you guys think the broadcast would make all of it up?"

"Aaron you really don't have any idea how desperate news reporters are nowadays for attention.", Dylan retorted.

"Yeah man, they probably just took a clip from a horror movie and used it as "footage" it's a bunch of phony bologna.", Dolly added.

I started getting a migraine struggling to fathom reality from fantasy. "I-I need to go to the bathroom for minute.", I annouced leaving the living room heading upstairs to the restroom.

I turned to the corner that led to the bathroom.

"Psst!", Someone called behind me.

I guided my attention in the direction to see who called. Dawkins was watching me through a cracked door. He gestured me to come into the room that he was in.

I complied and he opened the door all the way to let me in. "You watched it too didn't you?", He asked quietly shutting the door.

"Yeah, wait you believe it was real?"

He nodded, "Of course it's been going on a lot longer than we think. I've been doing researching online, but nothing reliable has been coming up. I'm glad someone else besides me believes this isn't a hoax.", Dawkins gladly stated.

"Well you're the smart one, why haven't you tried tell Dylan and Dolly?", I asked.

"Dolly never takes a thing I'm saying seriously. And I'm nothing more to Dylan than his little lapdog and babysitter.", Dawkins replied angrily.

"Well since me and you are the only ones that believe in this whole giant spider thing let's do some research so the others will take this seriously. As stupid as it seems I believe in the unknown. Someone is hiding things from us and I wanna find out for the sake of everyone in London.", I explained. "You with me?"

I held out my fist for a fist bump. "All the way.", Dawkins agreed partaking in the fist bump.

-To Anna-

Anna was still, unmoving. Everything she'd had witnessed on television seemed all too real.

After seeing what she had saw something inside her told her to stay indoors until someone admitted what her and Aaron had witnessed was fake. Or if it was real someone would confirm that the matter was dealt with and it was safe outside.

Right now she needed some kind of assurance. Her Dad was probably still fast asleep, but he'd still make time to talk to her no matter what.

She got off her bed opening her bedroom door. She snuck down the hallway, but noticed her dad's door was wide open. She peaked inside to see her father's bed was empty.

"Ahh!"

THUD!

The sound of her father wailing in pain and someone crashing into the ground came from downstairs. Anna out of concern for her father ran downstairs hoping he didn't have a terrible accident that could've potientially injured him.

She gasped in horror upon seeing his unmoving body lying on the kitchen floor. Standing over top if him was a woman.

She had a skinny figure, greyish pale skin, black and white striped hair. She wore a black sweater, black pants, and red heels.

She gave Anna a uncomforting smile that was supposed to be friendly, but didn't appear that way to Anna. She held a frying pan in her left hand and Anna put the pieces together. This random woman knocked her father unconscious.

"HUNTER! NOW!", She shouted looking at someone behind Anna.

The young boy by the name of Hunter took a rag doused in chloroform and brought it over Anna's nose in mouth. They young girl struggled in his grasp, kicking and flailing around.

The poor girl tried calling for her older brother, but realized in the end it would be for nothing. After a few more seconds of struggling her body went limp and fell to the floor.

"Did I do good Auntie?", He asked for approval from his great aunt.

"Yeah sure, whatever.", She answered unenthusiastically rolling her eyes. "Now take the brat to the truck I'll be out there in a minute."

Hunter not wanting too upset Cruella dragged the unconsious girl through the house and out the front door. Cruella took out a slip and pen from her back pocket and wrote on it setting it on the fridge.

It wouldn't hurt to leave Aaron a little gift to know she stopped by for a visit. She chuckled to herself staring at Aaron's father still body, "Don't worry you, your boy, and those mutts will be seeing each other again tonight. One final time!"

She let out a manical cackle while dragging Ryan Daniels out of the house.

A/n: Now I know what you all are thinking. What does a giant spider have to do with all of this? You'll see soon.
