Indra pulls the Ettercap back inside of her

"Mmm... I'm right here, baby." Indra giggled as she wrapped her legs around the Ettercap's swollen abdomen as far as they would go. She tried to pull his hips against her, to feel more of that delicious, hard rod so deep inside.

She was rewarded with a sharp backhand. "Ssilencce, sslut. Ssomething is happening outsside..." Stars danced around Indra's vision. She wasn't angry or upset - a little surprised - but mostly she was still too sexed out of her brain to realize there would be a nasty welt where the flat of the creature's clawed hand had struck her.

Still, she was obedient, so no more words came from her mouth, though she was still rocking her hips against his fuck pole. Her mate seemed indifferent to that, so she pleasured herself for a few moments until he was ready to get back to it.

The thrill of eviscerating something with your bare hands awakened something inside you. It felt predatory. It felt exhilarating. The leap you had been dreading suddenly seemed so simple. You found your balance on the other limb with ease, and your newly-discovered daemon claws secured your perch. With a smirk, you remember the cat that "adopted" your monastery and feel new kinship toward it. You wonder if it survived the attack. It would make a good familiar. You'll have to ask Indra how that works after you rescue her.

You stalk closer to the monster's nest. It's little more than hovel, a collection of sticks and branches woven together with webbing and reinforced by some sort of resin, dome-shaped with a mostly flat bottom, probably a dozen feet in diameter. Despite the crude construction, you're actually a bit impressed that the creature has any sort of shelter at all... but then you realize it's as much a "prison" for his mates as a shelter.

There were voices just a moment ago, but you don't hear anything now, not even the vigorous sex sounds you could recognize from earlier. You worry that Indra's fate has already been sealed, but you continue to sneak toward the nest's circular opening anyway, as quietly as possible.

"Probably nothing..." You freeze just as you were about to peek inside. The raspy voice belonged to the Ettercap, and is followed quickly by a feminine squeal of delight - you recognize that sound all too well. You know what's happening - you know what's BEEN happening, but now that you're so close to it, you feel the same fury and blood lust overwhelming your senses that you felt when you ripped into the giant spider.

There's no wasted movement, no wasted words, no wasted time. Your body begins to move on auto-pilot, and you don't fight it. You spring through the opening of the nest, cross the distance to the Ettercap in a heartbeat, and before it can realize the threat or raise its arms to defend itself, you tear creature's throat out.

It collapses onto its back. It's hideously malformed prick pops out of Indra's cunt, and she just stares dumbly up at you, arms and clothes heavily stained with gore. You breath deeply, soaking in the satisfaction of the kill.

Indra screams.

You're shaken out of your reverie. Your companion... friend? ****? lover?... is scrabbling to escape from you. Her eyes are filled with horror, or hatred, or both.

"Indra, it's me..." You start toward her, but her screams intensify, tears beginning to stream down her face. She turns away from you, folding herself into the fetal position.

"You killed him! You killed him!" She kept repeating it. You look down at the monster you had just slain, then to your bloody hands, and then back at Indra. It had affected her somehow. Of course it had. In her altered mental state, she didn't see you as a savior - she saw you as the monster that just killed her lover.

The rush of the kill is forgotten as your heart sinks, and all at once you feel a very familiar sense of compassion and sympathy for the woman. You know that those things feelings won't fight off whatever is affecting her, and of even greater urgency, Aegis is likely succumbing to spider venom this very moment.

Some forgotten corner of your mind cringes at the thought of what you're about to do, but you can think of only one way to fight the Ettercap's influence. You approach Indra and kneel beside her. With determination that leaves no room for resistance, you grab her head and **** your lips upon hers. She screams and slaps at you, sobs, tries to kick you away... but after merely a minute, her tune has flipped completely. Her tongue is wrapped around yours and she's moaning into your mouth. When you feel her begin to fumble with your bustier, that's when you pull away from her.

"Mistress, what's... I'm... where am I? So horny..." She's so dazed with arousal that she can barely hold herself up. Poor girl has your own venom and whatever the Ettercap pumped into her filling up her body with so much sexual need she's about to burst.

"I know, shh, I know..." You try to calm her down. She can't decide whether she wants her hands all over you or all over herself. "I'm going to take care of you, but we need to get out of here first. We were attacked by giant spiders. Aegis helped me so that I could get to you, but now we have to help him. The spider venom will kill him if we don't hurry. Do you understand?" It seemed like it was difficult for her to process everything, but she slowly nodded.

"Rudd moss will help to draw out the venom... Shade root to neutralize..." She mumbled and began to sag, her hands drifting toward her nethers again.

"No, no, no... Indra, first we have to get down the tree, then you have to help me... I don't know what those herbs look like." You pull her back up into your arms. It occurs to you that perhaps this ordeal isn't over yet.

She smiles up at you. "It's easy... show you..." She runs a finger along your chest. "Sabine, you're really pretty." Oh for the love of... you don't have time for this.

Physical strength is not your forte. You have the strength to wield a sword, to control your body, to climb and swim and run, and yes, to carry someone if you need to. But you've always been petite. Athletic feats have always been easier for you simply because your muscles don't have to haul much body mass. Picking Indra up isn't too difficult, even if she is mostly dead weight, and from there, it's not too difficult to get her onto your back.

But shimmying down the tree with twice the weight you're accustomed to? You're out of time and options. There's nothing for it but to grit your teeth and hope that neither of you lose your grip before you get to the bottom.
