We're there now, at the place where Kim's previous ally was murdered by that huge spider mutation, if it is the way Kim described it then it's going to take a lot of work to bring it down. Her plan, she and Ari will take their crystals and weapons into the spider web ridden cave, then let the spider chase them, then they'll take their crystals out and attempt to deal as much damage to it as possible, through any means, and they will bring it more out and more out of the web and I will shoot it down with my flaming bolts, I was sponsored flammable material to wrap around the head of my bolt and matches to set it on fire, so maybe I could set the spider on fire if I'm lucky, due to my injured leg I'll be waiting near the entrance.
I give Kim and Ari a nod and they walk into the webbed abyss.

Me and Ari are deep in the cave now, I'm holding Xavier's sword and he has his knife, I know the spider's going to be close now. "By the way, make sure you watch the ceiling." I whisper to Ari, I don't want him to suffer the same fate as Xavier did, Ari simply nods at me as he grips his knife, it's going to be tough drawing the spider out of here without getting stuck to any of its silk, if we get stuck we're dead, we'll be simply food to it which is why we need to be careful.
"I have an idea." He whispers to me. He picks up a rock and gets ready to throw it, maybe we'll be lucky and draw the spider towards us, so he throws the rock, it bounces off the wall and skitters across the floor, the sound echoes throughout the cave. And then suddenly there's silence, no sound at all.
...
CRASH!
Before either of us can react it's there, standing right in front of us after literally leaping in from the corner and in front of us. It's missing one of its eyes because I stabbed it there, I'm almost frozen in shock as it hisses and takes a swing at Ari, however Ari was ready for this and ducked low, the spider leg passing right over his head, a successful evasion. It uses its other leg to lash out at me however I manage to leap backwards and dodge, I know that I can't let it get me in it's evil clutches.
I take my sword and take a weak stab at it and it barely pierces the skin, the stupid spider barely takes any notice, and I silently curse myself, if I want to avenge Xavier I'm going to need to try harder. However in my moment of distraction the spider lashes out at me again, hitting me in the chest, winding me and I end up smashing against the wall, I cough out in pain as the spider then knocks Ari away, sensing my weakness it begins to skitter towards me...

"Kim!" I shout as I realize what I need to do. I reach in and snatch my crystal out of my bag and do one of the most dangerous moves in my entire life. I jump, yes I literally jump onto the mutation's back and I hold my knife tightly and sink the blade into it, the blackish blood leaks out as I forcibly jerk my knife out of its back, the spider makes a yell of pain as it shakes violently, making my lose my balance and tumble to the ground. The spider turns around and prepares to finish me off with a stab to my mid section but before it happens with my crystal I lift it towards the spider.
And since this is it's weakness it lets out a squeal and shriek of pain (I don't know how a spider does that) as it's blinded, injured. And then Kim has Xavier's sword and uses both hands and do an almighty swing towards the spider's leg and the sword is embedded halfway through the leg, she wrenches it out and repeats the swing, this time separating half the limb completely. The spider roars with pain as it backs away as it rapidly bleeds. I know it's time to run. "Kim we're running!" I shout and we both take off as fast as we can.
For a spider in pain this spider is surprisingly fast, me and Kim have to wave around and slash rapidly, separating the silky web that the spider made in order to keep running, I take a few glances back to make sure the spider is still following us. We repeat this for minutes; I know we'll get there soon, David will surely kill it with his flaming bolt.
But once again my hopes are shattered.
"Ahhh! Ari!"I hear Kim scream and I see that she's on the floor, with spider web all over her foot, the spider got her! And it's dragging her closer and closer to it, I know if she doesn't get free she'll surely die. And then at that moment I don't know what to do, I could run and say Kim died so I had to retreat which would be the most sensible option, I would get sympathy, me and David would forget all about this stupid spider and that would be another tribute down.
Or I could be brave
With a sigh I take my knife and dive on my belly, just about next to the web that's being dragged and with a grunt I swing my knife downwards and cut through the web in one strong stroke, freeing Kim, the spider growls in frustration and begins advancing on us again, and I have a feeling we won't be able to escape this time.
Shit!

Ari and Kim were lucky I decided to walk in a little further when I heard the sharp hissing being echoed throughout the cave. And they were lucky I saw them when the spider started going towards them. I light the head of the bolt on fire and aim, before the spider can kill them I let it fly. I almost see the bolt going in slow motion as it embeds itself in the spider's eye, any and all web that had been on the spider instantly set alight and the spider began letting out agonizing shrieks and squeals as Kim and Ari got up and began scrambling away, clearly knowing that they needed to stay away from the flames.
"Hey guys, miss me?" I ask with a grin as Kim hugs me by the waist, well considering I just saved her life it's the least she could do. Ari gives me a high five. "Good job Spider slayer." He says with a grin and he gives me a quick bro hug. "You didn't do so bad yourself pretty boy." I say back with a grin. Kim thanks me and I notice the bloodied sword in her hands. "You look like you did pretty awesome as well." I say.
"I-I think w-we should get out of here, the noise might attract m-more tributes." Kim stutters and I agree. Together the three of us leave the area on high spirits.
