Chapter 5 by Jeriah

What's next for the shipwrecked teen?

Caught in a web!

Rushing blindly forwards through the terrain, the girl suddenly found herself stumbling out into a small clearing. The jungle seemed even more dense here than she'd thought as she stopped for a moment to look around, the direction she just came from seeming no less impenetrable as the rest of the surrounding vegetation.

Another roar could be heard from behind her, making her hesitate again and then stumble onwards in the opposite direction. A gap between two heavy tree-trunks seemed to be the least difficult way to proceed, even though the jungle beyond also seemed darker than it was in other directions.

As she rushed on through the gap however, Rachel was suddenly stopped dead in her tracks as she was caught in something sheer, elastic and strangely sticky. Struggling frantically to get free she soon found herself only getting stuck even harder in the alien material, ending up suspended and spread eagle more than a foot above ground as she tried to break free.

The noises behind her got even closer, making her struggle even harder but to no avail. Barely able to move at all she managed to turn her head to look back over her shoulder, seeing the hairy beast come crashing through the jungle and into the clearing behind her.

It looked a bit like some sort of gorilla as it came into view, it's huge and muscular, hairy frame heaving with it's rugged breath as it came to a halt in the middle of the clearing and just stared at her. She'd expect it to be glad to have caught up with her, but instead it seemed strangely worried as it sniffed the air and checked it's surroundings.

The beast's hesitation allowed her another half-hearted attempt to break free, of course without any results at all, and as she struggled she finally realized what she'd been trapped by - A web of some sort, thin and silky but strong and sticky enough to easilly catch a living creature of her own size. The image of a spider big enough to weave a trap like this uninvetedly popped up in the poor girl's mind, immediately spurring her to renew her feeble attempts to break free.

Finding no way to break lose by herself she finally turned back to the bigger beast behind her, looking at it with terrified, pleading eyes as she realized that it could very well be her only hope not to end up as food for some other monstrosity. Of course the gorilla-like beast could very well want to eat her as well, but she'd still take her chanches with that one rather than to be left alone to wait for whatever horrifying creature could've weaved the web...

What fate awaits her now?
