Not too far behind his bride, Acat heard her shrill cry and cursed himself not only for not keeping a closer eye on her, but also because maybe had he finally revealed the truth to Carlie, they could have talked instead of her running. He’d hoped that after her erotic response in the bath, she would finally trust them, or at least not attempt to flee. How wrong of him.

She not only fled while he and Chaob argued over what they should do next, she fled deep into the heart of the ruins where old magic held sway, and where things best kept hidden lived.

While many theories abounded about the demise of Mayans, none came close to the truth. His ancestors, or at least those who claimed to serve the old and wild gods, dabbled with things best left alone like dark magic. Playing with old magic that should have remained hidden, they released things they could not comprehend or control. Not that they lived to regret it. It was only by the sacrifice and bravery of a few that their mistakes were contained, hidden in the bowels of places, ruins like this one. And Carlie ran straight in to the heart of the evil.

Damn it.

Despite her head start, they almost caught up to her, but not before she made it to The Spider’s lair. And by The Spider, he meant, the behemoth, the ancient mother of all arachnids. Even the jaguars knew better than to visit that place, knew better and yet still did. Among the boys, it was considered a rite of passage to visit the lair and emerge unscathed, perhaps with a trophy. Of course, they knew what to expect when they came for a visit. Carlie didn’t.

So, when she screamed, he threw on a burst of speed, retaining his human form for battle. Not so Chaob. Flipping to his feline side, he sped past Acat and dove in to the chamber. Acat entered only steps behind him.

Just as disturbing as he recalled, the massive chamber was still a mishmash of webs, old and new, traps for the unwary. A tomb for the unlucky.

Acat didn’t immediately spot his bride, but he could hear her, bravely facing her fear – with words –silly woman.

“Stay back you eight-legged monster. God, what I wouldn’t give for a super-sized can of Raid,” she cried.

He caught the tail end of Chaob as he slid through the path she left, and followed. Ignoring the high-pitched squeal, that of a baby and not the mother, thank the gods, Acat sped past his friend as he battled the minor arachnid – minor for this place, at any rate – and headed straight to his wide-eyed bride.

“Oh thank God, you came.” Why couldn’t she look so happy to see him when she wasn’t in danger?

Hiccupping in fear, she didn’t fight him as he tore at the strands holding her prisoner. On the contrary, as soon as her hands got free, she clutched at him, finally embracing him.
