Chapter 4: A shy little spider

Anova: Do you need any help?

But then she froze. Something about his appearance struck her as odd, a detail that didn't fit in with the overall picture. Subconsciously, she knew not to approach him in any way. She didn't know what to do and just watched as he slowly approached her.

Suddenly, he looked up, and Anova could see his face, if that was what you could call it. The upper half of the face was covered in black liquid, and the place of the eyes was marked with a cross. His mouth was full of sharp teeth. He began to approach her quickly, and Anova, startled, turned and ran away.

As she ran, she could hear the crunching sound of snow that didn't stop the entire time she ran.

Anova: What is it? Why do all sorts of strange things happen to me when I go into the woods?

When she stopped hearing the crunching sound, she became alert. Just as she turned around to see if it had fallen behind her, a rock immediately flew at her. The impact knocked her unconscious.

When she opened her eyes, she saw that she was lying in a small stream. Her eyes were swimming, and her head was splitting and aching in the area of her forehead. Touching her forehead and looking at her hand, she saw a few drops of blood. Her eyes closed again, and when she opened them, she saw the creature slowly walking towards her. Then her eyes closed again.

When she opened them, the creature was standing over her, but doing nothing. It just stared at her for a few long, agonizing seconds. Suddenly, the creature stepped on her head and pinned her down hard. Anova began to whine, and the creature's face broke into an arrogant smile. It removed its leg and leaned toward her, revealing a row of sharp teeth. Anova closed her eyes in fear and began to cry, and there was a thought in her mind.

Anova: "Why now, why with me? I haven't done so much yet, and I haven't even said goodbye to everyone."

She was already prepared for the inevitable when she heard the sound of footsteps approaching quickly. Then there was the sound of a bump and some sounds to the side. She opened her eyes and turned in the direction of the sounds to see the creature fighting a red-haired monster. They threw themselves at each other, and Anova watched in horror, unable to move from fear.

The creature was fast at attacking the monster, but it didn't bring much of an advantage. The monster couldn't deal a single blow to the creature. Anova started to slowly get up, which was hard because of the injury. At that moment, the creature turned its attention to Anova, but at the same moment it was grabbed by the monster and began to beat it to the ground, and then — with its fists. However, the creature was still alive.

The monster stepped aside and picked up a fallen tree trunk lying nearby. He threw it directly at the creature that had just got to its feet, and it flew off into the abyss from behind, followed by the trunk. The creature stared ahead for a few seconds, then turned its attention to Anova. His hand turned into a blade, and he stared at her with his empty eyes. Anova was about to run away, but the monster braced itself for a charge, and Anova closed her eyes in fear. However, after waiting for a few seconds, she opened her eyes and saw that the monster had grabbed its head and was thrashing from side to side, snarling.

As soon as it was all over, the monster looked at her again, but this time its eyes seemed more human. They expressed confusion, confusion, and fear. After that, the monster quickly ran away somewhere deep in the forest.

"What was that?" Anova said, puzzled. Tears flowed from her eyes, but they were tears of joy, joy that she was so lucky and that she had survived. After which, she walked towards her house.

"Somewhere"

An unknown black figure stood over a stranger with horns who was plastered with an unknown black liquid. And then the silhouette said:

"How's it going, Snowy?"

Snowy: "Basically fine, but can't you find a pillow?"

???: "We don't have all-inclusive conditions, so no. Well, since it's convenient for you, I can go now."

Snowy: "How long do I have to sit here?"

???: "As much as you need, okay, ciao cocoa."

Snowy: "Wait a minute!"

But the silhouette was already gone, and Snowy said:

"I hope they do well and he doesn't get to them."

After which, Snowy lowered his head in despair and closed his eyes.

"Meanwhile"

Anova was at Claire's house, sitting on a chair while Claire bandaged her head. Claire asked:

"Anova, can you tell me where you got hurt like that?"

But in response, Anova shook her head, and Claire said in a pitying voice::

"Anova, I need to know what happened to you."

Then Anova sighed and said:

"Okay, listen up."

After that, Claire settled back on the couch.
